Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 171 What's wrong with ghosts? Do ghosts deserve to die? Li Shuyang, the righteous one who turns evil.
"Captain, are we too late?"

The Tian Shu Bureau's team has arrived, but judging from the current situation, it seems that one of them has already died.

The team member looked at the captain beside him and asked hesitantly.

"It seems we're a little late."

The captain was also a bit of a headache. They had arrived as quickly as possible, but how long the battle between the holders of the Heavenly Treasures could last was not something he could control.

The fight was going on like it was on fast forward; even with the gas pedal floored, they couldn't keep up.

"But why did they start fighting?"

"Do these two owners of the celestial treasures have a grudge?"

This was something he could never understand. Did the holder of the Heavenly Treasures have a grudge before obtaining them, and then come to take revenge after obtaining them, only to find that the other party had also obtained the Heavenly Treasures?

"Captain, I might know."

"Huh? Tell me."

The captain looked at his team members with some surprise.

"Captain, you should have heard the holder of the Heavenly Treasure shouting 'Sun Breathing' just now, so if I'm not mistaken, he should be the holder of the Heavenly Treasure from the Demon Slayer world. I just don't know if he's a template for Yoriichi Tsugikuni and Tanjiro, or their legacy, or just the technique of Sun Breathing."

"And the other one, although it's hard to tell, has such a pale complexion that it looks a bit like a ghost."

"Perhaps the other party inherited the power of a demon from the Demon Slayer world, became a demon themselves, and was then discovered by another person, leading to a fight."

The team members made inferences based on what they had just heard, while the captain said thoughtfully:

"You mean that person might be a ghost?"

The captain has also watched Demon Slayer. There are four things you absolutely must experience in Sakura: music, manga, and anime.

Although I only started watching anime after the Dimensional Invasion, I've still seen some of it.

Demon Slayer was quite popular before.

If it's the Demon Slayer Corps and demons, then we can understand why they started fighting to the death right from the beginning.

Moreover, after confirming that the other party might be a ghost, he wanted to subdue not only the one with the sword, but also the one who was holding the sword.

No matter what level a ghost is, if it appears in reality, it is a dangerous thing; the higher the level, the more dangerous it is.

Not to mention that this demon is capable of contending with a user of Sun Breathing, making its danger self-evident.

But it seems he's already dead?

Just as the captain was thinking this, a maniacal laugh suddenly came from the flames.

"Haha, I see!"

"Activating the markings consumes more energy than I imagined. Even that attack just now wasn't as powerful as when you didn't activate the markings."

"Such a weak attack, I thought I was really going to die."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Zhou Ming's body twisted and deformed in the flames, yet it regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

If Li Shuyang's attack just now was a full-force attack like his previous attack in his striped state, then he might actually have died. In the end, he was even worse off than when he didn't activate his stripes.

It seems that activating the markings requires far more energy than he had imagined.

Such a weak attack, even if he stands still and lets it do as it pleases, what can he do?

This level of damage doesn't even require his spiritual energy to heal.

He can't kill him!
Hearing Zhou Ming's words, Li Shuyang gritted his teeth and propped himself up. Just as Zhou Ming had said, the side effects of forcibly activating the markings began to appear, and his entire body was groaning. He only needed to use two Sun Breathing techniques to exit the markings state.

Therefore, that attack he just delivered was even weaker than his normal attack. And now, he has almost no spiritual energy left in his body, so he can't even muster that attack.

But he won't give up so easily.

Just as he gripped his knife, preparing to step into the flames and continue his fight with Zhou Ming, a stern voice rang out in the air.

"That's it."

The captain's stern shout broke the deadlock. Fully armed special agents had surrounded the two men. Although they did not point their guns at them, they were tense and ready to prevent any unusual movements.

"The Seventh Special Operations Group of the Tian Shu Bureau of Chaoyang City".

The captain showed his badge and scanned back and forth between the two men.

"According to the [Regulations for the Management of Superpowered Individuals], you two are required to immediately cease fighting and cooperate with the investigation."

Zhou Ming immediately raised his hands, and pointed at Li Shuyang as he did so:

"I fully cooperate with the investigation! I'm also reporting this guy across the street for trespassing and assaulting me; I acted in self-defense."

Li Shuyang glanced at him and said seriously to the captain:

"He is the holder of the Kibutsuji Muzan template, and his hands are stained with countless blood. I suggest that the Tian Shu Bureau immediately dispatch ability users skilled in soul and aura tracking to locate every part of his flesh and blood to prevent any of his flesh and blood tissue from escaping."

"Or ask Jiang Qingyao, the holder of the Dual-Handed Technique among the Eight Extraordinary Skills, to modify his soul, erase his ghostly nature, reshape his humanity, and prevent him from being suppressed by his ghostly nature and harming humans."

"But to ensure that nothing goes wrong, it would be best to ask Elder Zhong or Master Ye to take action and completely eliminate it."

The boy's eyes were sharp as knives, and his words were devoid of any kindness.

If he can't kill him, then someone else will.

If it were Ye Shen and Zhong Lao, they would definitely have a way to kill the other party.

As for letting him sunbathe during the day, given the "Muzan Kibutsuji" template combined with human cunning, he might have already made preparations. Only the temperature of the sun's core or the weight of the rock could put one at ease.

"You fucking fart!"

The veins on Zhou Ming's forehead bulged.

"I've never even killed a chicken! And what I gained was the ability, not the template!"

Although he did become a bit arrogant after obtaining Muzan Kibutsuji's power and did want to enjoy that superior position, what normal person wouldn't want that?
He hasn't done anything yet, has he?
Do you even understand what it means to "judge by actions, not intentions, and by intentions, no one in the world is perfect"? Just because his power came from Muzan Kibutsuji, does that mean he deserves to die?
There are plenty of evil people in the world, so why aren't they all arrested?
How can people believe what ghosts say?

"Even if you don't kill now, you will definitely kill in the future—because you are a demon!"

Li Shuyang said without hesitation.

"What's wrong with ghosts? Do ghosts deserve to die?!"

Zhou Ming was so angry that he laughed instead.

"Of course he deserves to die!"

"If you don't die, are you going to let innocent people die?"

Seeing the two men on the verge of exchanging blows, the captain stepped forward and separated them with his arms outstretched:

"Alright! Shut up!"

He rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

If Zhou Mingzhen, as he himself claims, only acquired Muzan's abilities without harming anyone, then there would be no problem according to any law.

The future may happen, or even be certain, but to assume someone will kill simply because they have acquired an ability—if you put that in a novel, you'd probably have to artificially create a protagonist or villain who wants to destroy the world.

They could never do that.
