"Lord Yoya, please have a good rest!" said Ubuyashiki Tenon as she supported Ubuyashiki Yoya.

"Don't worry about me, Amane." Ubuyashiki Yoya said, "Originally, I, we were already dead there just now, but I didn't expect that I could survive. But when I think about it carefully, I am still a little unwilling to not be able to see Muzan Kibutsuji's death in person. It's good now, maybe I can see it."

"quack--"

"Tai Liya, you are watching here, right? Don't send the pillars to my side." Ubuyashiki Yoya listened to the crows' cries and said, "The most important thing now is to kill Muzan Kibutsuji. As long as we can accomplish this, I... we don't mind dying in the process."

Using Yushiro's blood demon art, Ubuyashiki Teriya, who was in charge of the battle command, looked through the crows and gritted his teeth and began to convey Ubuyashiki Kōya's thoughts to the other pillars.

"Mr. Ichimaru, let's go too." Ubuyashiki Yoya said with a smile.

"It's okay." Ichimaru Gin said standing aside: "I can also feel the position and aura of other members of the Demon Slayer Corps from here. Since things have developed to this point, let's wait a little longer."

"but."

Ichimaru Gin pointed his Zanpakutō in one direction, and the blade in his hand instantly extended—

They were not the only ones caught up in this space called 'Infinite City'. There were also people nearby, such as some medical staff and some members of the Demon Slayer Corps nearby.

These people have no fighting ability, and the one targeting them is Douma, the Second Upper Rank.

He looked at the group of people in front of him, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the next moment, a white light rushed towards him.

clang--

The white light and the iron fan in his hand intertwined and pushed him away.

"Huh? This force." Douma felt the almost irresistible force and was pushed away. Although the force was great, the move he understood should pierce through his fan and then his chest.

No, it should be that there is almost no reaction to myself.

He looked at the group of people getting farther and farther away and laughed: "Haha, so that's what's going on. Is the purpose to push me away?"

If he used his full strength, he would naturally leave a few holes on his body, but that was not Ichimaru Gin's goal. Ichimaru Gin's goal was to push Douma away and keep him away from these people who had no fighting ability.

Douma has almost no emotions, and most of his emotions are fake, which is why he remains calm now.

'How did he know where I was?'

This thought suddenly popped up in his mind: 'The direction of this blade should be some distance from me, and I have never faced it directly, so it knows my position. Could it be that it not only knows my position, but also the positions of everyone else? Some kind of special ability?'

Douma thought to himself, after all, these are spiritual abilities, and they are completely unknown to him.

It is not surprising that even vampire magic has the ability to detect and perceive, not to mention the completely unknown ability in the soul, which may really have such an ability.

'Since he has such ability, and I didn't react at first, he could have killed me. The reason he didn't do so is probably because he could determine the location but not the vital part, or maybe he didn't want to kill me?'

The former is another matter, if it is the latter.

Douma relaxed the strength in his hands, and the blade immediately pierced through his body - he forcibly struggled to break free from the blade, even though his chest was almost cut in half.

Such an injury was of no concern to him and he recovered in less than a second.

"If it's the latter, then there must be someone in the direction where I was knocked away?"

Insect Breathing, Butterfly Dance

Phew——

At the moment when he was distracted, a figure approached him rapidly and swung the Nichirin Sword in his hand to make a series of thrusts, leaving wounds on Douma's body.

"Oh my, nice to meet you. My name is Douma. What an interesting introduction."

Douma felt his body twitching, but he still had a smile on his face: "Is this poison? How interesting. This is the first time I have encountered such a fighting method."

"But, what a pity, your poison was decomposed by me."

"My best trick is wasted!"

Listening to Douma's chattering over there, Shinobu Kocho took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. Everything that was happening now was still within her expectations.

Ever since she obtained the blood of the First and Third Upper Ranks, she decided that it would be too difficult to create a demon that could kill the Upper Ranks with the existing materials.

So she combined the poison from Tamayo and changed the ratio of the poison.

The poison she is using now has only a small amount of its original effect, which is to confuse Douma. In fact, the main poisons she is using now are the two types of "aging" and "restoring human body".

These two poisons can gradually dull Douma's body and slow him down.

In addition to this, there is a medicine that can "temporarily get rid of Muzan Kibutsuji's control". Using this is actually the key point. The first two do not need to be concealed from Muzan Kibutsuji, only this real killer needs to be concealed.

It doesn't matter if I use these potions myself now. Even if Muzan Kibutsuji knows about the solution, it doesn't matter. For Muzan Kibutsuji, I just need to let the 'prevent self-destruct' potion take effect.

Therefore, she did not have to decompose the ingredients of the medicine in order to avoid being discovered in advance by Muzan Kibutsuji as in the "original work".

She just needs to find a way to kill Douma herself, and Gin Ichimaru will do the rest.

"This may be my only chance to kill my enemy with my own hands." Shinobu Kocho clenched the Sun Blade in her hand: "I must succeed!"

Chapter 41: Kocho Shinobu's Poison

Chapter 41: Kocho Shinobu's Poison

"What a fast pace."

Douma spread out the back of his hand, the wound on it was healing at an extremely fast speed: "But it's a pity that your poison is completely ineffective on me. No matter how much you change the ratio, it's useless~~"

Douma smiled happily: "But. It is indeed very fast, and it is still getting faster. Although it can't beat me, I can only say that it is worthy of being the Insect Pillar. It doesn't have the power to cut off the neck of a demon, but instead has the fastest speed in the Demon Slayer Corps."

"Huh." Kocho Ren didn't say anything: "It seems that he hasn't noticed it yet, which is good."

In fact, it’s not that Shinobu Kocho has become faster. After all, her opponent is a Second Upper Rank, and she is not so comfortable that she doesn’t have to use her full strength. She was already at full speed from the beginning.

It's not that Shinobu Kocho has become faster, but that Douma has become slower.

Douma didn't realize this and was still "playing". In his opinion, he only needed to use all his strength to win quickly.

It wouldn't matter if he played around with her for a bit before that, since she was a beauty after all. If he were a man, he would probably choose to get it over with quickly.

[Hurry up and solve it! Douma——]

At this moment, a voice appeared in his mind. It was the voice of Muzan Kibutsuji.

"Yes, I understand. It's a real shame. I will take care of her right away." Douma replied with a smile.

Muzan Kibutsuji has sorted out his memories. Although he still feels a little weak, it doesn’t matter. He will recover from this level of weakness in no time.

It would be quick as long as you drink the blood, but before that the important thing is to decompose the poison in your body first.

There is also Douma

Now there are only a few of his men who can be of use.

Akaza faced two pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps alone, 'Water Pillar·Tomioka Giyu' and 'Flame Pillar·Rengoku Kyojuro', as well as 'Tanjiro Kamado' who used the Sun Breathing, and it was difficult to determine the winner in a short time.

And what about Douma? Not only is he facing one pillar, but he's still playing?

The whole demon Kibutsuji Muzan is so furious that he is about to explode.

He must let Douma share his pressure.

Mingnu can also restrain some people, and she must not let these people appear in front of her before she decomposes the poison in her body, otherwise she will be in danger.

"What a pity." Douma looked at Shinobu Kocho and said with a smile: "Although I still want to play with you, I don't have the time. Let's get rid of you quickly."

Blood Demon Art: Lotus Flower

The lotus vines formed by ice flew towards Kocho Shinobu, trying to restrict Kocho Shinobu's movements.

"You are really agile." Douma smiled as he watched Shinobu Kocho dodge his attack and close the distance with super high speed to stab towards him.

Blood Demon Art: Frozen Cloud

The clouds formed by ice covered the surroundings. If you were a little slow, your eyeballs would be frozen and your throat would be damaged along with your breathing.

However, Shinobu Kocho still dodged.

After inflicting a certain degree of injury to Douma with the Nichirin Sword in his hand and injecting poison into him, he immediately dodged.

Blood Demon Art: White Princess of Frost

The widespread cold air almost spread throughout the room, but when he turned around, Douma found that although Shinobu Kocho did not approach him, several daggers had stabbed into his body.

There is no doubt that these daggers are also poisoned.

Blood Demon Art: Crystal Prince.

The next moment, two ice dolls appeared and chased after Shinobu Kocho. Such a "high-intensity" battle actually made Douma feel a little tired.

Although he hadn't reached the point where he needed to catch his breath, he didn't want to waste too much energy here.

He looked in the direction where he was pierced: "There is a lot of suitable flesh and blood over there, let's go there first to replenish the consumed physical strength."

At this moment, a thrust suddenly pierced his neck.

"?"

Douma's pupils shrank, and he saw that the two Crystal Princesses in the distance had been left behind by Shinobu Kocho and were now chasing after them.

"Haha, you're so strong, you're really strong. This kid can use blood demon arts that are as powerful as mine. In this state, you can shake off the two of them and chase me here. I've been fooled. Are you the strongest one in the Demon Slayer Corps?"

Douma smiled and threw out two more crystal children: "Then we need to increase our strength."

"Really?" Shinobu Kocho smiled and said nothing. The effect of the poison has already been manifested, although the price is that this poison will most likely be ineffective on Muzan Kibutsuji in the future.

But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter anymore.

“So fast—”

'It's getting faster and faster since the beginning, but it's not to the point where I can't keep up.'

Douma turned his head to avoid Kocho Shinobu's thrust: "What's going on? Didn't she use her full strength at the beginning? Or did she improve during the battle? Was her speed originally so fast?"

[Stupid, it's not him who's getting faster, it's you who's getting slower! ]

Taking the time to pay attention to the situation of other demons, Muzan Kibutsuji immediately became furious. How come the Insect Pillar has not been dealt with yet?

As a result, I found that Douma was in such a terrible state now.

Wait a moment?

Muzan Kibutsuji's pupils shrank as he noticed the situation. He quickly checked his own body. Sure enough, based on the situation on Douma's side, he found a similar toxin.

"I see. This toxin is a big problem. Break it down first. Break it down completely!"

He felt that this toxin was weakening his cell's ability to decompose, turning him back into a human and causing his cells to age rapidly.

If it is not discovered early, the problem will be serious.

Fortunately, it has been discovered now. From this perspective, Douma has made a great contribution.

"Huh? Am I slowing down?"

After a careful feeling, he found that he was indeed not as strong as before. He looked at Shinobu Kocho and said, "I didn't expect there is such a poison. What is its use?"

"." Kocho Shinobu frowned at Douma and said, "It's not working yet?"

The most important thing is not these poisons, but the poison that allows Douma to break free from the control of Muzan Kibutsuji.

"But now that you know it, there's nothing to be afraid of. Just decompose it directly." Douma said with a smile, and his behavior undoubtedly deepened the absorption of another poison.

This poison is not harmful to him.

It just allows him to escape from Muzan Kibutsuji's control for a short period of time.

Therefore, Douma felt that the more his body decomposed, the more relaxed he felt. This relaxation was not only due to the recovery of his body, but also because he was gradually breaking away from the control of Muzan Kibutsuji.

And because of this - suddenly, Muzan Kibutsuji discovered that he could no longer sense Douma, and Douma was out of his control!

Chapter 42 Yiwozuo

Chapter 42 Akaza

Try not to let Muzan Kibutsuji know that the Demon Slayer Corps has a method to kill demons by killing souls.

This was Shinobu Kocho's original thought.

The same move will be much less effective when used against Muzan Kibutsuji the second time.

Shinobu Kocho didn't know that Muzan Kibutsuji's soul was not only located in his brain, and that he didn't have such a vital point like other demons.

Although Muzan Kibutsuji's soul was already a vital part, the damage was difficult to recover.

Therefore, Shinobu Kocho needs to try her best to get Douma out of the control of Muzan Kibutsuji so as to cut off this information.
