I travel through thousands of worlds at the same time

Perhaps the evil demon Kokushibo's talent and aptitude are far inferior to his younger brother Tsugakuni Yoriichi, but everything depends on the object of comparison. For example, in the world of Demon Slayer, there is only one Tsugakuni Yoriichi in a thousand years, and the evil demon Kokushibo is actually considered to have excellent aptitude, otherwise he would not have created his own branch breathing method [Moon Breathing Method].

Especially during the hundreds of years since he became an evil spirit, the evil spirit Kokushibo has continuously accumulated and perfected his [Moon Breathing Technique] and swordsmanship. In addition, he also occasionally clashed with the pillar-level swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps. It can be said that he has honed his swordsmanship and breathing techniques to an extreme level. For example, now when facing the demon god Li Mo, he directly suppressed the demon god Li Mo who had integrated the combat experience of many Li Mos.

However, the ghost god Li Mo was not an ordinary person either. He was suppressed by the evil ghost Kokushibo in terms of sword skills in the early stage, but he quickly went from parrying to being evenly matched, and even had a hint of counterattack momentum, and it took no more than five minutes.

Breathing of the Moon*Type 6*Lonely Moon in the Long Night!

Seeing the opponent's improvement speed which was almost like cheating, a strange color flashed in the eyes of the evil spirit Kokushibo. Knowing that something was wrong, it took the risk without hesitation. It originally attacked from multiple angles, but now it directly concentrated its attacks at one point and slashed continuously at high speed.

Ding ding ding ding——————Shh!

The two sword blades that turned into afterimages collided with each other wildly, the moon-like sword light and the deep black knife light clashed with each other, and even the aftermath cut off the trees within a hundred meters. However, soon the pitch-black Tang sword successfully chopped down and directly cut off the demon blade.

If the evil ghost Kokushibo had not reacted quickly, jumped instantly and moved to the front, the ghost Li Mo would not have directly cut off the demon blade. The Tang sword with some gaps that recovered quickly would probably have directly hit the evil ghost Kokushibo. As this weapon was a test product of the ghost Li Mo in the early days, it would have made the evil ghost Kokushibo feel the injuries caused by soul trauma, and the outcome would have been decided directly.

Although the blade was broken, the evil demon Kokushibo retreated a distance without changing his expression. He even did not change his state of maintaining [Moon Breathing Technique] and [Pattern]. With a flick of his arm, the broken Demon Blade regenerated. At the same time, branches like branches grew on the blade, and segments of the blade appeared. However, the regenerated Demon Blade still looked ferocious, and the eye-like pattern on it remained unchanged, which made people feel a little panicked when they saw it.

It should be said that the Demon Blade made of the flesh and blood of the evil demon Kokushibo has the potential to become an evil weapon or a demon weapon in some extraordinary worlds. However, the Demon Blade in the Demon Slayer world is just a weapon created by it using blood demon magic. Even if it can be reborn and strengthened using blood demon magic, there is still an upper limit to how much the Demon Blade can be strengthened. Even the evil demon Kokushibo knows this.

When the evil spirit Kokushibo stopped to reshape his weapon, the ghost god Li Mo did not hesitate at all. The opponent's previous sneak attacks were ruthless, so he naturally did not have any ideas of being a good guy and directly chose to take the opponent's life by taking this opportunity!

"Go to hell, evil ghost!"

The ghost god Li Mo swung his sword without hesitation. The evil ghost Kokushibo, who had just raised the Demon Blade strengthened by the regeneration disease, had his six eyes wide open and held the sword with both hands. However, he was still suppressed by the powerful force of the slash, and his legs left a drag mark of more than ten meters on the ground.

The evil demon Kokushibo successfully took the blow, but the strengthened Demon Blade was not cut off immediately, and it bounced back and performed a counter-cut!

If this move was used, the evil demon Kokushibo would pay the price first. When it blocked with both hands and bounced the Demon Blade up, its own flaws were already revealed to the enemy. Any pillar-level strongman could easily take advantage of this gap and successfully attack.

But the problem is that the evil ghost Kokushibo also understands the reason. What it knows even more clearly is that the unknown enemy, the ghost god Li Mo, appeared too quickly and grew too fast. The ghost king Kibuti Muzan in its mind even clamored for the evil ghost Kokushibo to quickly kill this "unknown strong man of the Demon Slayer Corps" who might be making it panic, and the evil ghost Kokushibo could not resist the request of the ghost king Kibuti Muzan in this regard.

After all, why can the scumbag boss Muzan Kibutsu sit firmly on the throne of the Demon King without getting into any trouble because of his scumbag behaviors? Isn't it because he can still control the life and death of the large group of evil ghosts under his command through the [Ancestor Demon Blood] that he has bestowed?

Otherwise, with the willful behavior of the trashy boss Muzan Kibutsu, many evil ghosts were not only transformed into evil ghosts passively during their lifetime, but also went crazy and ate their relatives and friends when they became evil ghosts. When they regained their sanity, they naturally transferred their resentment to the trashy boss Muzan Kibutsu. Not to mention that when the trashy boss Muzan Kibutsu drove the evil ghosts under his command, he would not care about the life and death of the evil ghosts at all.

Even the evil demon Kokushibo does not have much loyalty to the Demon King Kibuti Muzan, but its life and death are controlled by the Demon King. Moreover, facing this enemy with seemingly endless potential, the evil demon Kokushibo has a long-lost determination to win. It seems that it has seen the figure of its former brother Tsugikuni Yoriichi, and would rather pay a huge price to win by exchanging injuries for its life. Anyway, it has confidence in the recovery ability of the evil demon's body, and it is nothing more than taking a few hits temporarily.

However, what the evil ghost Kokushibo had not expected was that its tactic of exchanging injury for life was a joke to the ghost god Li Mo. When the Tang sword hit it, the intense pain of tearing its soul was too much for it to bear. The tactic that was originally intended to kill the ghost god Li Mo with a counter-cut was abruptly distorted and posed no threat at all. In just this short moment of time, less than a breath, the outcome of the fight was decided.

The next moment, the ghost Li Mo held the Tang sword and stabbed it directly into the head of the evil ghost Kokushibo. The evil ghost Kokushibo, who was already seriously injured, received this fatal blow, and his life was completely cut off. He could only wait for death to finally come!

"The winner has been decided!"

Seeing the evil demon Kokushibo whose head was pierced by a knife and whose body began to dissipate, the ghost god Li Mo coldly announced to the other party the declaration of the final winner.

"Yuichi, in the end, I didn't win against anyone..."

Hearing the words of the ghost god Li Mo, the evil ghost Kokushibo, whose body had begun to dissipate, did not refute. His face showed nothing but pain and a miserable laugh. However, when he recalled his past memories, he looked down at a flute that fell out of his clothes and sighed.

That was when the evil spirit Kokushibo took advantage of his younger brother Tsukuni Yoriichi's old age and frailty to challenge him, but he was almost killed by his brother with a single blow. In the end, he watched his brother die of a sudden heart attack, and found that his brother Tsukuni Yoriichi still kept the bamboo flute he had given him when he was a child. For some reason, he vented his pent-up anger by cutting the corpse in half, but he left behind the gift he had once given to his brother, which fell to the ground and reminded him of the past.

Before the evil spirit Kokushibo finished his last words, this upper-rank evil spirit was completely turned into ashes. Even his soul was captured by the demon god Li Mo and put into the [Shadow World], becoming a brave general of his own shadow soldiers!

Chapter 34: The Fearful Muzan Kibutsuji

The death of Kokushibo, one of the Upper Rank demons, announced that the demon-killing operation of the demon god Li Mo and others was nearing its end. Even if the demon god Li Mo wanted to find other Upper Rank demons now, it would probably not be an easy task, and he might even find it difficult to find any traces of demons in the surroundings!

After all, the Upper Rank evil spirits are not cabbages that can be replenished continuously. Among the six Upper Rank evil spirits in the Twelve Demon Moons, the weakest combination of Daki and Gitarou, have not moved for more than a hundred years. What's more, this time, the first three of the Upper Rank evil spirits, who were also the three strongest Upper Rank evil spirits, were directly killed, plus there was also the Upper Rank Six who was killed in Yoshiwara Flower Street before. It can be said that the combat power of the Twelve Demon Moons has been reduced by more than half.

You said there are still six lower-ranking demons?

Sorry, the gap between the Upper and Lower Ranks among the Twelve Kizuki is probably even greater than the gap between ordinary people and evil spirits. For example, if the evil spirit Kokushibo fights against the remaining Twelve Kizuki alone, there is a high probability that they will all win. If the six Lower Ranks come together to besiege the weakest Upper Rank, they may all be defeated and fall to the ground.

After all, the selection criteria for the Pillar-level powerhouses of the Demon Slayer Corps is that one person either successfully defeats fifty evil spirits, or one person kills a Lower-rank evil spirit. It can be said that the frequency of updating of Lower-rank evil spirits is extremely high, and a Lower-rank evil spirit may be successfully defeated every few years or even every two or three years. Even the Demon King Kibutsu Muzan vaguely feels that the Lower-rank evil spirits are about to become a stepping stone for the Demon Slayer Corps to cultivate Pillar-level powerhouses. As a scumbag boss, it naturally came up with the idea of ​​directly laying off employees.

This is probably also the reason why in the original anime plot of "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba", when the Fifth Lower Rank Demon, Rui, and the Nada Gumozan family led by him were defeated by the Demon Slayer Corps, the Demon King Kibushi Muzan announced the disbandment of the Lower Rank Demons, leaving only one of the Lower Rank Demons, Nightmare, and directly eliminated the other remaining Lower Rank Demons.

The main reason is that in the eyes of the Demon King Muzan, except for the number one demon, Nightmare, whose talent and strength have the potential to reach the upper-ranked demons, the other lower-ranked demons are just useless. They are small bosses who are used by the Demon Slayer Corps as elite templates to hone the pillar-level powerhouses. Not only did they not cause much damage to the Demon Slayer Corps, but they also honed out more powerful swordsmen from the Demon Slayer Corps.

Therefore, as a scumbag boss, Muzan Kibutsu became angry and physically laid off the Lower Moon demons without hesitation when the Lower Moon demons were reduced in number again and the Demon Slayer Corps successfully defeated the Lower Moon Fifth demon, Rui, and a group of subordinate demons.

Anyway, except for one of the Lower Ranks, Nightmare, this Lower Rank demon was highly regarded by the trashy boss Kibushi Muzan for his powerful blood demon art and good strength, so he was not physically laid off. The other unlucky Lower Rank demons were caught in the crossfire and directly became the background board of the original anime of "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba".

This time, the arrival of the time traveler, the ghost god Li Mo, has already shattered the plot line of the original "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba". Not only did Kanae Kocho and the others survive and even left the Demon Slayer Corps, but more importantly, the evil ghosts suffered an absolutely heavy blow. According to the numbers counted by the ghost god Li Mo alone, the total number of evil ghosts eliminated has reached three digits. Among the total number of evil ghosts that is less than 500, this has cleared out nearly one-fifth of the evil ghosts, not to mention the number of evil ghosts killed by the Demon Slayer Corps.

Especially since two-thirds of the Upper Moon demons were wiped out at once, it can be said that most of the combat power of the Twelve Demon Moons has been cleared out, and the high-end combat power of the evil demons has suffered heavy losses. Whether it is the Demon Slayer Corps or the evil demons, knowing this fact will probably have an absolute impact on the situation on both sides. For example, if the Demon Slayer Corps knew about it, they would definitely not let the evil demons go, and the evil demons would definitely feel fear when they knew this fact.

For example, at the moment when one of the Upper Moons, the evil demon Kokushibo, finally died, the Demon King Kibutsu Muzan, who was paying close attention to this extremely important battle, was trembling all over even though he was hiding underground, and felt a great fear rising in his heart!

………………

At the moment when Kokushibo, one of the highest-level evil spirits, died, the Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji, who had been in a completely dormant state and buried himself randomly in a cave hundreds of meters deep in the ground in an extremely remote mountain forest in Neon, woke up again with a look of panic.

There is no doubt that the discovery of the death of the Upper Rank Two demon Douma in a short time woke up the trashy boss Muzan Kibutsuji, who was originally prepared to sleep for dozens or hundreds of years, and ordered the demons Kokushibo and Akaza, who were the closest and happened to be together, to go and check the situation together. However, the Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji never expected that one of his Upper Ranks and the Upper Rank Three would be declared killed almost at the same time. After receiving this continuous bad news, he could no longer sleep.

Are you kidding? The only evil spirits that the Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji can use are the Infinite Castle and Naruto, who he thought might have been attacked by unknown blood demon arts and were thrown there as bait, and the six upper-rank evil spirits of the Twelve Demon Moons. The six lower-rank evil spirits and the other evil spirits are basically cannon fodder. Even he himself doesn't think they are of any use, so naturally he doesn't think they can surpass the abilities of the upper-rank evil spirits.

The consecutive deaths of the four upper-rank evil spirits and the reduction in the number of evil spirits have made the trashy boss Muzan Kibutsuji unable to sit still. He has now completely emerged from his previous dormant state and is facing the current situation in panic!

"Who is that? The mysterious swordsman from the Demon Slayer Corps? But he's also good at boxing..."

At this time, the Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji was completely different from the time when he was in Tokyo, pretending to be a rich man and enjoying wealth and glory. He was just like a patient in the late stage of anxiety syndrome, walking around in circles in the cave.

Previously, the Demon King Kibutsu Muzan felt something was amiss when the Upper Six Daki and Gitarou died. However, he did not realize that it was the intentional act of the demon god Li Mo. He only thought that a new strong man had indeed appeared on the side of the Demon Slayer Corps, and in order to prevent the "evil demon" who could use the "special blood demon technique", he continued to hide in the cave and hibernate instead of running out to wander around.

After all, Muzan Kibutsu was not only known as a scumbag boss, but was also nearly hacked to death by the sudden appearance of Yoriichi Tsugakuni during the Warring States Period. After that, he developed a PTSD syndrome called "Yriichi Tsugakuni". Not only did he hide for decades, but he waited until Yoriichi Tsugakuni aged and was found dead by his younger brother Kokushibo before he had the courage to come out from underground, and spent a lot of time and energy to eradicate all traces of the other party.

When that scumbag boss poked his head out, he directly mass-produced evil spirits and sent out the Twelve Demon Moons to exterminate all the swordsmen who knew the Sun Breathing Technique and the related inheritance!

Faced with the rampage of evil spirits, the Demon Slayer Corps at that time naturally fought hard, but they were unable to stop the evil spirits who had an absolute advantage in high-end combat power. The few swordsmen who inherited the [Sun Breathing Technique] were killed by the evil spirits, and even the Demon Slayer Corps suffered heavy losses.

To be honest, although the Demon Slayer Corps at that time had not only the [Sun Breathing Technique], but also inherited the Five Great Breathing Techniques and many elite swordsmen who had been trained through the turbulent Warring States Period, the speed at which the Demon Slayer Corps trained elite swordsmen was obviously much slower than the speed at which the evil demons produced evil demons. What's more, there was the existence of the Twelve Demon Moons, which completely suppressed the Demon Slayer Corps in terms of high-end combat power and caused heavy damage to them.

Anyway, just looking at the current Demon Slayer Corps, except for the five basic breathing methods and some branch breathing methods derived from the basic breathing methods, even the [Sun Breathing Method] has been lost and only legends remain. In addition, no swordsman has mastered moves such as [Markings], [Transparent World] and [Red Blade]. You can see how heavy the losses of the Demon Slayer Corps were at the time. It can be said that after that battle, the Demon King Kibutsu Muzan almost completely destroyed the inheritance of the [Sun Breathing Method] and was finally satisfied.

Of course, the Demon King Kibuti Muzan believed that he had completely destroyed the inheritance of the [Sun Breathing Technique] and exterminated the most dangerous thing left behind by that guy Tsugaru Yoshiichirō, but he was still afraid of that guy Tsugaru Yoshiichirō, which led to the discovery of the existence of Tsugaru Yoshiichirō's inheritance in the original plot, which was almost a crazy trend.

The problem is that the current Demon King Kibuti Muzan does not have as much headache as in the original "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba", because the situation he is facing now is much more ferocious than in the original "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba". The reason is that the appearance of the demon god Li Mo has already messed up the plot line of the original "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba", and more than half of the upper-rank evil spirits have died, and many evil spirits have been conquered and destroyed, which makes the trash boss terrified.

Even though he is called the "Ghost King" by the Demon Slayer Corps and the demon god Li Mo, in reality, Kibutsu Muzan is just a cowardly and narrow-minded scumbag boss. If he had not relied on the control of the [Blood of the Original Demon] over the evil ghosts under him and the ability to survive that he developed due to his cowardice and fear of death, he would have been attacked by the evil ghosts under him or killed by others long ago.

As for this, the scumbag boss Muzan Kibushi was well aware of it. He never regarded the evil demons he created as his confidants at all. Even the Twelve Demon Moons were at most useful tools. For example, when he found that the Lower-ranked demons could become whetstones for the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps to sharpen their skills and become stronger, he initiated the physical layoffs without hesitation. Except for the evil demon Nightmare who ranked first in the Lower-ranked Demon Corps, he kept the other four Lower-ranked demons physically without hesitation.

How much loyalty can the Twelve Demon Moons and other evil spirits have to such a scumbag boss? It's really a funny joke. If it weren't for the [Ancestor Demon Blood] controlling their life and death, the unrestrained evil spirits would directly retaliate against the scumbag boss. And Muzan Kibutsu was thinking that an evil spirit with some special blood demon technique could actually attack him out of thin air and cause him serious injuries, so he hurriedly ran away to hibernate and even secretly investigated.

Now, the trash boss Kibuti Muzan found that he might have encountered something even more troublesome. Not to mention the female swordsman who killed the evil spirit Douma, but this guy who killed the evil spirits Kokushibo and Akaza, isn’t he too strong?

"What should I do?"

After circling around like a headless fly for hundreds of times, the Ghost King Kibu Shimuzan finally calmed down a little. Facing his previous situation, he had a plan. Moreover, when there were no other people or evil spirits around, this cowardly boss showed his truest side: "Now, I'd better continue to hide. Even that guy Tsugaru Yoriichi was outlasted by me. I don't believe that the strong human can live longer than Tsugaru Yoriichi..."

Well, Boss Xie was very self-aware. He knew that more than half of his upper-rank demons had died. If he relied on the remaining two upper-rank demons and those lower-rank demons to surround and kill this strong man, it would be a waste of time. So he chose to use time to outlast the opponent.

Anyway, what Muzan Kibuti is most proud of is not that he is the ancestor of demons, but that he can obtain almost endless life. Relying on the advantage of living a long life, he was able to outlive those enemies that might threaten him when he was just a weak demon. When he became strong and mastered the ability to create subordinate demons with demon blood, he used this to outlive many enemies including Yoriichi Tsugumi.

Otherwise, with his true ability, the Demon King Kibutsu Muzan would have been so powerful that he would have to stab Tsugakuni Yoriichi with one strike. However, he managed to escape by relying on his ability to survive, and then burrowed into the ground and became a coward, waiting until the evil demon Kokushibo went to challenge the extremely old Tsugakuni Yoriichi. After repeatedly confirming Tsugakuni Yoriichi's death, it was several years before he showed up in public. It can be said that he completely learned the essence of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate.

Now, the Demon King Kibutsu Muzan has discovered that there may be another being whose fighting power is not inferior to that of Tsugakuni Yoriichi. He is panicked and decides to continue according to the successful experience from the last time. He plans to hide in the cave for a few decades, and then consider sending his evil spirits to besiege the opponent when the opponent is old and weak. Judging from the current situation, he has given up those evil spirits without hesitation. Anyway, as long as he is there, there will be no shortage of evil spirits.

In fact, if the turtle-style strategy of the trash boss Muzan Kibutsu would be replaced by the indigenous residents of the Demon Slayer world, I am afraid that there would be a very high probability of success. However, the ghost god Li Mo can be sure that his life span is long enough, and he can directly catch the hiding trash boss!

……

"Mo, are you okay? And who was that just now?!"

When the trashy boss decided again that he would continue to hibernate even if all his evil ghosts died, the ghost god Li Mo leisurely returned to the ruins of the headquarters of the Eternal Paradise Cult. Then he saw Butterfly Kanae and three other beautiful girls running towards him. She looked her man up and down with some worry, and when she found that he didn't seem to have any injuries, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked her man in a low voice.

Just now, Butterfly Kanae and the others were asked by the ghost Li Mo to stay where they were and not participate in the battle against the evil spirits Kokushibo and Akaza. However, they had noticed the huge commotion of the battle and were naturally worried about it!

"Don't worry, I've already killed the Upper Rank One and Upper Rank Three!"

Seeing the concerned looks of Butterfly Kanae and the other three beautiful girls, the ghost Li Mo put his arms around Butterfly Kanae's waist with a relaxed look on his face, kissed the beauty in his arms and greeted the other three beautiful girls. There was no seriousness in his words, it was almost as if he was crushing two weak chickens.

"But we can't help at all..."

Hearing what the Demon God Li Mo said, Shinobu Kocho looked somewhat unwillingly at the place where the battle had just taken place and the area where she and others were now. However, neither the Demon God Li Mo nor Kanae Kocho let the three of them participate in that level of battle.

"Haha, Shinobu-chan is already pretty good. The three of you can kill Upper Six together. You'd be top notch among the Demon Slayer Corps. You just need to keep working hard!"

Seeing Kocho Shinobu's cute expression of unwillingness, the ghost god Li Mo couldn't help laughing out loud, but he still took the initiative to reach out and ruffle Kocho Shinobu's hair, comforting Kocho Shinobu and the other two beautiful girls, and then he turned to Kocho Kanae and the three beautiful girls and said, "In this operation, we have killed three upper-rank demons and many ordinary evil spirits. Next, we will prepare to go back for a while to repair, and then start the next cleanup operation..."

When the ghost Li Mo said this, he had no intention of eradicating all evil. He didn't care whether the remaining evil ghosts were still committing crimes and eating people. His priority was the situation of Butterfly Kanae and the others.

Even though Kanae Kocho and Shinobu Kocho are in very good condition now, after nearly a month of playing and killing evil spirits, it is absolutely impossible to say that they are not under any mental pressure. Even for Kanae Kocho, who only takes action occasionally, the most important thing for her is to adjust her mentality as soon as possible and rest while absorbing combat experience.

The so-called theory of breaking through by fighting is definitely not suitable for Butterfly Kanae and the others. According to the opinions of Ghost Li Mo and other Li Mo, the most correct way is to crush the enemy with strength. Breaking through the limit by fighting seems to be very passionate and in line with the protagonist's tactic, but if you are not careful you will die without even a bone left. Ghost Li Mo has not yet realized that Butterfly Kanae and the others are not in the same situation as the protagonist, who are the children of luck, so there is no need for them to fight to the death.

Anyway, the evil ghosts in Japan have been wreaking havoc for more than a day or two. The ghost god Li Mo is very confident that the Japanese can hold on for a few more years, so there is naturally no need for them to work so hard to kill ghosts. Moreover, even if it is the ghost god Li Mo himself, he may not have the mentality of a saint. If it were the Celestial Empire, they would probably consider more. There is no need to worry about Japan. The most important thing is to take good care of the people around them.

After hearing the speech of the ghost Li Mo, whether it was Kanae Kocho or the other beautiful girls such as Shinobu Kocho, they all nodded in agreement without objection. Then the group left directly to rest, and the elite soldiers who stayed behind began to clean up the aftermath!

Chapter 35 The Demon Slayer Corps Aware

When the ghost Li Mo and his group left the ruins of the headquarters of the Eternal Paradise Cult, there were naturally elite soldiers left behind to clean up. In addition to cleaning up the ruins of the headquarters of the Eternal Paradise Cult, they also had to arrange people to cover up the huge noise of the battle that had just taken place.

After all, the scene of the battle between the two Upper Rank evil spirits, Kokushibo, and the Upper Rank Three evil spirit, Akaza, and the devil, Li Mo, was too big. If it was not located in a mountainous area with no mountain people living around, but in a city like Fuyuki with a large population, I am afraid that they would have to arrange news of the gas accident immediately. The subsequent cleanup personnel would have it easy because the situation is very easy to conceal if there are no casualties.

Without saying anything else, the Japanese forces controlled by the ghost Li Mo have joined forces, and they are not afraid even if there are large numbers of casualties. You have to know that before he traveled through time, even the company responsible for the Fukushima nuclear accident bowed and apologized, and then picked a few unlucky guys to step down as an explanation. This shows that Japan is still a semi-feudal and semi-modern country, and it is not difficult to cover up an accident with heavy casualties at this time, unless it is really a sensation that can no longer be covered up, otherwise there is no need to prepare a scapegoat.

Moreover, although the fighting around the headquarters of the Eternal Paradise Cult was loud, the affected area was at most a few dozen kilometers in radius, and there were no casualties. It was natural for the powerful Japanese factions to make up an excuse of "a landslide caused by a small earthquake" and pass it off without anyone suspecting anything.

To be honest, earthquakes, typhoons and even volcanic eruptions are not uncommon on Japan's major islands. Earthquakes happen every day. At most, the magnitude of those earthquakes is not high and the impact is not great. The Japanese have become accustomed to it.

In this case, it was very normal to use the earthquake as an excuse to cover up the incident. No one even doubted it, even the townspeople in the remote town around the headquarters of the Eternal Paradise Cult. Their attention was attracted by the official announcement of the destruction of the Eternal Paradise Cult and the execution of all its backbone members. The fact that there was an earthquake in the mountains was completely ignored by these townspeople.

There was no way. For the residents of the small town who knew more or less about the Eternal Paradise Religion, or even their relatives and friends were believers, the official actions were what concerned them the most. A small earthquake occurred in the Cricket Forest and did not cause any casualties, so they naturally ignored it.

As for this situation, the ghost god Li Mo naturally did not care too much. He did not even pay attention to the statistics of some financial resources obtained by the headquarters of the Eternal Paradise. He let his subordinates who had fused with the [Seed of Fusion] collect them and use them as necessary financial reserves. He might not even pay a little attention to how many skulls and corpses were found at the headquarters of the Eternal Paradise. Just counting the number of people killed by the Upper Two Evil Demon Douma, the number might exceed three digits.

Fortunately, the action of the ghost god Li Mo has eliminated two-thirds of the upper-rank evil spirits, and even killed dozens of ordinary evil spirits and evil spirits that can use blood demon arts. In addition, the scumbag boss Kibutsu Muzan chose to lie dormant to delay time. The actual number of evil spirits in Japan has dropped a lot. The number of incidents such as humans being killed or even eaten by evil spirits has decreased a lot, and many of the rumors in the past have lost their protagonists.

However, ordinary people did not notice it much. The Demon Slayer Corps, which specializes in collecting intelligence on evil spirits and defeating them, soon discovered that some evil spirits that had been noticed were being defeated by people through collecting intelligence information on suspected evil spirits wreaking havoc or humans mysteriously disappearing!

………………

Ten days later, at the secret headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps

Compared with the situation nearly two months ago, the Demon Slayer Corps now has one more Pillar-level powerhouse named [Kasumi Pillar], who is Tokito Muichiro. At this time, he is attending the meeting held by the highest level of the Demon Slayer Corps again together with several other Pillar-level powerhouses including [Rock Pillar], [Sound Pillar], and [Flame Pillar].

As a Pillar-level warrior who was recently promoted by the Demon Slayer Corps, Tokito Muichiro appears to be very young, at most thirteen or fourteen years old, his appearance and even beauty surpass many beautiful girls of the same age. With his long hair and expressionless and cold look, it really makes people sigh that Japan's specialty in this area, [Hideyoshi], is not without reason. The other Pillar-level warriors did not have any thoughts on this. They gathered in the courtyard of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters and saw the current head of the Corps, Ubuyashiki Yoya, again.

Compared to more than a month ago, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya's complexion was obviously weaker, and the hideous markings on his face had become slightly darker. He could barely stand up and walk around, but people around him could tell that he could only live for a few more years at most. Moreover, people who knew the situation knew that, so far, no member of the Ubuyashiki clan had successfully lived past the age of thirty.

However, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya's eyes seemed particularly bright, which made several pillar-level strongmen who were close to him in the past feel a little surprised. However, they did not ask rashly, but respectfully saluted to their lord!

"Everyone, have you noticed? From the intelligence we have collected in recent times, the activity of evil spirits has obviously decreased?!"

Seeing the six pillar-level masters in front of him, Ubuyashiki Yoya had an inexplicable smile on his face. As soon as he opened his mouth, the expressions of the six pillar-level masters of the Demon Slayer Corps, including Tokito Muichiro, changed slightly.

As the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps, the Pillar-level masters are naturally qualified to read a lot of intelligence information, such as the summary of the recent suppression of evil spirits, and the action reports on finding some evil spirits' traces. These made the Pillar-level masters such as [Rock Pillar] Gyōmei Hayashima, [Sound Pillar] Tengen Uzui, and [Flame Pillar] Rengoku Kyojuro discover that the frequency of evil spirits' rampages has decreased, and that some evil spirits have been inexplicably suppressed by others.

It should be said that the intelligence system of the Demon Slayer Corps is still acceptable. It cannot be compared with the intelligence agencies of those truly major powers, but with the help of the relationship between the Ubuyashiki family and Shintoism, they can borrow some of the power of the Neon official. For example, the Neon police have received reports of inexplicable disappearances or special homicides, as well as rumors of strange man-eating monsters. After collecting the information, the intelligence personnel of the Demon Slayer Corps will selectively conduct preliminary investigations and will only take action if they confirm that there is a problem.

Under such circumstances, the probability of casualties among the Demon Slayer Corps' intelligence personnel is actually quite high. It's not that the Ubuyashiki family is not short of financial support. In addition, most of those intelligence personnel joined the Demon Slayer Corps as peripheral personnel because their family members were killed by evil spirits and they wanted revenge. It would be difficult for them to persevere.

However, because of their personal hatred for evil spirits and the Demon Slayer Corps' insistence on exterminating all man-eating evil spirits, the intelligence personnel who continue to join the Demon Slayer Corps use their lives to investigate the existence of evil spirits. Based on whether they are missing or the information they have collected, they decide whether to notify the surrounding Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen to carry out the next step of encircling and suppressing the evil spirits. Only when they are sure that ordinary swordsmen are not capable of doing so will they notify the Pillar-level swordsmen to arrive.

You said that the efficiency of killing evil spirits in this way is obviously very low?

That's right, the efficiency of the Demon Slayer Corps in clearing out evil spirits in this way is indeed very low, but with a total number of no more than 300 swordsmen and several pillar-level powerhouses of the Demon Slayer Corps, it is completely impossible to suppress the evil spirits in the entire Neon in this way. It is quite good to be able to limit the wreaking havoc of those evil spirits, and asking for more is an unrealistic luxury.

However, in the past month or so, Ubuyashiki Yoya has been very pleased to find that the frequency of evil spirits attacking humans has dropped significantly. Many intelligence personnel have reported on the discovery of traces of man-eating evil spirits. When they risked their lives to investigate the traces of the evil spirits, they were shocked to find that the evil spirits had disappeared. The traces left behind were more or less covered up, but it is certain that the evil spirits seem to have been conquered, at least there have been no reports of any mysterious disappearances in the surrounding areas.

This kind of example is not just one or two. It would be strange if the Demon Slayer Corps did not notice the corresponding changes when more than dozens of evil spirits and even several upper-rank demons were killed. Moreover, Ubuyashiki Kakuya possessed some kind of prophetic ability like revelation. He instinctively realized that the situation he was facing was getting better. Although the specific situation is not clear yet, it is definitely not a bad thing for the Demon Slayer Corps.

After all, the Demon Slayer Corps is fighting hard to kill all man-eating demons, and Ubuyashiki Yoya is fighting to lift the thousand-year curse on his family. It is totally something they would welcome if other unknown forces come to clean up the demons!

"Is there someone hunting evil spirits as well? But how is that possible? They don't have the Sun Blade. The only way to kill evil spirits is with sunlight and wisteria..."

After hearing what Ubuyashiki Yoshiya said, the former ninja [Sound Pillar] Uzui Tengen thought for a while and came to a conclusion that was secretly recognized by other Pillar-level powerhouses. However, he also expressed the most confusing thing for them after learning the news.

If there is someone who can match the evil spirits, there are actually such gifted strong people in the world of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, such as the [Rock Pillar] Gyōmei Hirumi, who is gifted with divine power and has fought with an evil spirit before, and even suppressed that ordinary evil spirit for a while. However, the key problem is that except for the Nichirin Sword, the sunlight and wisteria flowers, other sharp blades or physical attacks are basically useless to the evil spirits. They can fight against the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps at the risk of their lives, let alone those ordinary strong people.

For those Pillar-level warriors who have personally fought against evil spirits and know that even ordinary evil spirits are difficult opponents for ordinary people, they are indeed very curious about who could kill evil spirits in secret and even leave no trace!

"Not necessarily. The [Gorilla Scarlet Iron] ore and wisteria flowers we found that absorb sunlight can restrain evil spirits. That doesn't mean there are no other similar things!"
