"Kuzeha-sensei found traces of Muzan Kibutsuji?"
Kanae Kocho's breathing stopped for a moment, murmuring in shock.
The Yuuki mother and daughter nearby heard Kanae Kocho's whisper.
Kyouko Yuuki, hearing the somewhat familiar name, hadn't quite come to her senses yet.
"What happened to Kuzeha-sensei?"
Asuna Yuuki looked at Kanae Kocho in astonishment.
"Kuzeha-sensei found Muzan Kibutsuji?"
Kanae Kocho turned her head and made eye contact with Asuna Yuuki, slowly nodding her head.
She showed her the message Kuzeha had sent.
Asuna Yuuki's beautiful eyes paused for a moment, then she suddenly stood up.
"Master, let's hurry over there!"
"If we're late, Muzan Kibutsuji will probably die at the hands of Kuzeha!"
Hearing Asuna Yuuki's impatient tone, a sense of dissonance appeared in Kanae Kocho's beautiful eyes.
In the past.
When they received news of other members encountering demons, they worried that being a step late would put the team members' lives in danger.
Now, having obtained traces of Muzan Kibutsuji, the chief culprit, they had to worry about this guy not dying too quickly...
Although Kanae Kocho felt somewhat unaccustomed to this, upon reflection, it was indeed as Asuna Yuuki had said!
Even without knowing Muzan Kibutsuji's true strength, Kanae Kocho was certain that guy absolutely couldn't be a match for Kuzeha-sensei!
If they arrived late, the situation Asuna Yuuki described might really occur!
"Mrs. Yuuki, please continue participating in the auction as usual. The Upper Moon demon in the venue should have left."
After saying this to Kyouko Yuuki, Kanae Kocho quickly left the venue together with Asuna Yuuki.
She then sent messages to Shinobu Kocho and others who were on guard outside.
At the same time, she notified all the Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps in the group chat!
"We found Muzan Kibutsuji!"
In an instant.
The leader of the Demon Slayer Corps hidden in the mountains and the Hashira scattered across various cities all received the message!
The moment they saw the message, they were all stunned.
The Demon King they had been tracking for a thousand years was found?
After coming to their senses, hatred that was difficult to resolve surged in the eyes of the Hashira.
Almost all the Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps had their families destroyed because of demons!
Hunting demons and pursuing Muzan Kibutsuji wasn't just the mission of the Demon Slayer Corps for them—it was their goal of revenge!
For a moment, all the Hashira frantically sent messages to Kanae Kocho.
Confirming the accuracy of the information.
At this time, Kanae Kocho had just hung up the phone call with Kuzeha, asking him about Muzan Kibutsuji's location.
After hanging up, the rapidly jumping messages and missed calls on her phone startled her.
The messages in the group were refreshing at a rate of more than ten per second.
Looking at their messages, Kanae Kocho's fingers trembled slightly.
Given their distance, by the time they arrived, Muzan Kibutsuji would probably already be dead.
After hesitating for a moment, Kanae Kocho still sent out the message.
"Yukinoshita Hotel, rooftop!"
After her message was sent to the group, the message refresh rate briefly stalled.
A moment later, it jumped up at an even faster speed!
"Kocho, Rengoku and Kanroji are also on your side, right? We're rushing over immediately!"
"Don't die! Hold on until we get there!"
The other Hashira all said similar things.
Then there was no more activity.
They were probably speeding toward this location.
Kanae Kocho understood their feelings, so she didn't try to dissuade them.
"However, Shinobu and the others should be able to make it..."
When Kanae Kocho and Asuna Yuuki arrived at the rooftop, they immediately saw Kuzeha's figure.
Standing beside him were Yuki Suou and a pink-haired girl wearing a coat.
"Kuzeha-sensei!"
"Yuki-san!"
Kanae Kocho bowed slightly to Kuzeha.
Asuna Yuuki's gaze fell on Fujiwara Chika nearby.
When their eyes met, both were stunned, and their respective identities surfaced in their minds.
"Fujiwara Chika from the Fujiwara family?"
"Asuna Yuuki from the Yuuki family?"
"Why is she here too?"
Both girls wondered in their minds, but didn't directly ask.
Asuna Yuuki and Kanae Kocho's gazes gradually moved to the front of Kuzeha.
A scantily dressed, seductively beautiful girl lay on the ground with vacant eyes.
If it weren't for the demonic aura emanating from her body, judging from her clothing and the scene, it would give off quite a "used and discarded" vibe.
However.
"She's the demon that appeared at the auction venue just now, the aura is exactly the same!"
She noticed the characters in Daki's eyes.
"Upper Moon Six..."
"It really is an Upper Moon demon!"
Kanae Kocho exclaimed softly, turning her head to look at Kuzeha.
"Kuzeha-sensei, is Muzan Kibutsuji also here?"
Kuzeha shook his head.
"Muzan Kibutsuji is still on his way here!"
Hearing this, confusion appeared in the beautiful eyes of both Kanae Kocho and Asuna Yuuki.
Still on his way here?
When Kuzeha said this, it was as if he knew Muzan Kibutsuji's whereabouts like the back of his hand.
Just then, Kanae Kocho and Asuna Yuuki suddenly noticed that Kuzeha's pupils had turned blood red, with comma-shaped tomoe slowly rotating within them.
Under the night, they appeared extremely eerie.
Just looking at those eyes, they could faintly sense a slight chill in their hearts.
The two women quickly averted their gazes.
A few seconds later.
Muzan Kibutsuji hadn't arrived yet, but Shinobu Kocho and Mitsuri Kanroji rushed to the rooftop first.
Seeing that Kanae Kocho and Asuna Yuuki were safe and sound, Shinobu Kocho and Mitsuri Kanroji immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where is Muzan Kibutsuji?"
Mitsuri Kanroji's eyes burst with intense light.
Her gaze kept moving, then fell on the only male present—Kuzeha.
"Is he Muzan Kibutsuji?"
Mitsuri Kanroji noticed the red glow flickering in his eyes under the night.
From those eyes, Mitsuri Kanroji felt mystery and eeriness.
Almost instinctively, she drew the flexible sword from her waist!
Bang!
Her foot slammed hard against the ground, and she leaped up suddenly.
Beautiful movements like those of a gymnast unfolded in mid-air.
The soft yet sharp flexible sword danced around her body.
"Muzan Kibutsuji, take this!"
"Love Breathing..."
Just as Mitsuri Kanroji was about to execute her sword technique, the voices of Shinobu Kocho and Kanae Kocho simultaneously reached her ears.
"This is Kuzeha-sensei..."
Huh?
Mitsuri Kanroji's brain went blank for a moment in mid-air.
Looking down.
Kuzeha's handsome face and eerie eyes reflected in her vision, and Mitsuri Kanroji's heart suddenly trembled.
She had been curious about what kind of person Kuzeha, such a strong individual, would be last night!
She had thought about trying to build a good relationship with Kuzeha when she met him and learning new breathing techniques from him!
But at their first meeting, she mistook him for Muzan Kibutsuji and drew her sword against him?
In her panic, Mitsuri Kanroji just wanted to withdraw her sword.
In mid-air, the flexible sword that usually obeyed her commands like an extension of her arm now wouldn't listen.
The blade even cut herself several times.
Before the battle even began, her clothes were damaged!
Mitsuri Kanroji landed with a thud in front of Kuzeha.
Under the reaction force.
Her impressive proportions, not inferior to Fujiwara Chika's, rippled like ocean waves at that moment!
The flexible sword was tangled around Mitsuri Kanroji's body.
It had cut through half her clothes.
Revealing her fair and well-defined midriff!
"S-s-s-s-s-sorry!"
Mitsuri Kanroji bowed repeatedly to Kuzeha!
The moon hung high in the sky, casting down silvery-white frost-like light!
It illuminated her skin, which was as smooth as white jade, and even reflected slightly.
Like flickering car headlights!
Indeed, very dazzling!
It almost blinded Kuzeha.
"It's fine!"
Kuzeha shook his head.
As if sensing something, his gaze turned to the empty ground nearby.
"However, the real Muzan Kibutsuji has arrived!"
His words reached the ears of all the women present, and their faces immediately showed expressions of curiosity, caution, or hatred.
Following Kuzeha's gaze, they stared intently at the empty ground nearby!
Faintly.
The women seemed to hear the sound of a biwa.
The next moment, a sinister man in a black suit appeared out of thin air!
Shinobu Kocho and others had never seen Muzan Kibutsuji's appearance!
But the moment they saw him, they had an absolutely certain intuition in their hearts!
The man in the suit before them was the Demon King who had brought disaster to the human world for a thousand years—Muzan Kibutsuji!
Clang!
Almost simultaneously.
Shinobu Kocho, Kanae Kocho, Asuna Yuuki, and Mitsuri Kanroji drew their Nichirin swords!
Muzan Kibutsuji, who had just been teleported, opened his eyes to a scene that made his brain freeze for a moment.
The Nichirin swords of Shinobu Kocho and the others, as well as their Corps uniforms, confirmed that they were members of the Demon Slayer Corps!
Wasn't Nakime supposed to teleport him to Daki's side?
Had he been teleported to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters?
Moreover... they seemed to be waiting for him to arrive, instantly drawing their swords and entering combat mode.
Muzan Kibutsuji's gaze quickly noticed Daki lying nearby with vacant eyes.
After his thoughts stalled for a moment, he gradually understood.
"This is a trap!"
Muzan Kibutsuji's pupils contracted violently.
Just one second ago, he was still confirming the situation on Daki's side!
Connecting to Daki's consciousness, what he clearly saw was Daki binding the drug provider and interrogating him...
However, everything before his eyes was completely different from what he had seen in Daki's consciousness!
"How did they do this?!"
Muzan Kibutsuji's heart was filled with terror.
For a thousand years, only one demon had escaped his control, and that was four or five hundred years ago, when he was careless and hadn't fully developed his abilities.
Now, he had long strengthened his mental control.
Let alone betraying him, even demons that spoke his name would be punished by his blood!
All demons were under his control.
Now, someone could actually bypass his control and deceive him through an Upper Moon demon...
This unimaginable event filled Muzan Kibutsuji with fear.
Without hesitation, he shouted directly!
"Nakime!"
Return to the Infinity Castle!
As long as he returned to the Infinity Castle, no one could do anything to him!
Clang!
The sound of the biwa echoed in his mind.
Muzan Kibutsuji saw that the floor beneath him had turned into an ancient window, slowly opening.
Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he was horrified to discover that the window on the ground had opened halfway and was stuck there!
The next moment, he vaguely saw a black shadow flash across the ground.
The window to the Infinity Castle directly disappeared from its original location!
Before Muzan Kibutsuji could recover, a massive and terrifying pressure suddenly pressed down on him.
Like a giant hammer, it slammed hard into his mind.
Hiss!
Muzan Kibutsuji's body began to undergo demonization!
Hideous and terrifying giant mouths appeared all over his body.
Blood and black hair wrapped around his limbs.
In an instant, the elegant man in a suit transformed into a demon!
After complete demonization, Muzan Kibutsuji felt the pressure on his body seemed to lighten somewhat.
His bloodthirsty eyes scanned the girls before him, his killing intent surging!
"Lie down. Standing there is quite frightening!"
Just then, a calm and gentle voice reached his ears.
In an instant.
A pressure several times more terrifying than before ruthlessly pressed down on him.
Bang!
A loud crash!
Muzan Kibutsuji was slammed to the ground like an insect hit by a flyswatter.
Blood spurted out!
Muzan Kibutsuji struggled to lift his head.
He saw a familiar-faced young man slowly walking out, looking down at him from above.
A leisurely voice slowly rang out.
"Alright, everyone gets one cut. Who wants to go first?"
