You've been ruined by games all your life!

Chapter 72 Even if we are annihilated, body and soul
"Muzan, you're still just as the doctor described, your face is deathly pale, you look like you're about to die."

Through his wife's description, Kagaya Ubuyashiki roughly sketched out Muzan's image in his mind. Comparing it with the records passed down from his ancestors, he found that Muzan really hadn't changed.

In short, eighteen veins bulged on Muzan Kibutsuji's head; he hated it most when people cursed him to die.

He is the Demon King, an immortal being. As long as he overcomes sunlight, his only weakness, Muzan will live on forever!

"Sharp-tongued, Ubuyashiki is as annoying as ever..."

Muzan lowered the brim of his white hat, looked around to make sure no one wearing sunflower earrings was there, and then looked at Ubuyashiki Kagaya.

“You will die today, along with the Demon Slayer Corps, your wife, and your children. I’m tired of this cat-and-mouse game. Tonight, Ubuyashiki will be reduced to ashes.”

As he spoke, Muzan directed the demons behind him to pounce on Ubuyashiki Kagaya.

"Cough, cough, cough—" Kagaya Ubuyashiki coughed violently, but picked up a book from beside him.

"Muzan, the image of the blue spider lily you're looking for is in the doctor's notes. Don't you want it!?"

"Wait!" Muzan called out, stopping the demon from advancing.

Evil spirits rushed towards him, their foul breath and bulging eyes almost touching Ubuyashiki Kagaya's face, but he remained unmoved and began to tear the pages of the book in his hands one by one.

"What are you doing! You bastard!"

Muzan's handsome face finally broke down, revealing a demonic rage and ferocity. He almost teleported in front of Ubuyashiki Kagaya and snatched the book from his hand.

The pages of the book flipped through the pages. Muzan, with his back to Kagaya Ubuyashiki, was completely absorbed in the various herbal illustrations on the pages.

"No, no, no... no!"

As a demon king, Muzan Kibutsuji's reading and learning speed is far faster than that of humans, and he has been studying herbs for many years, so he has already seen these things before!

"You're lying to me? You brat from Ubuyashiki, you're playing with your own life!"

Muzan pressed his face close to Kagaya Ubuyashiki's eyes. He knew that Kagaya was blind because of the "curse," but at this moment he was blinded by rage!

Muzan was once a dying patient. A doctor cured him, turned him into a demon, and told him that in a few days, he would eat the blue spider lily and his body would be completely healed.

Muzan couldn't wait any longer, so he killed the doctor, but he couldn't find the Blue Spider Lily, which would be the key to him overcoming the sunlight... So he left and traveled all over Japan, searching for a hundred years, but he still found nothing.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki jokes about Muzan's deepest obsession and uses the clue of the blue spider lily as bait... What is he after?
"So close, Kibutsuji Muzan."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki couldn't see the demon in front of him, but he could smell Muzan's scent.

He reached out, seemingly wanting to stroke his arm, but the demon beside him was ordered to "protect Lord Muzan." Seeing Ubuyashiki Kagaya reach out, it bit his wrist, its sharp teeth mixed with saliva, and with just one bite, it tore off the fascia along with the wrist!
However, while the human body can be destroyed, the determination to destroy demons passed down through generations will never be changed!

The severed hand grabbed Muzan's arm at the last moment. Muzan felt no force whatsoever, yet he inexplicably lowered his head.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki's usually refined and peaceful face was now incredibly ferocious. He used all his strength to let out a final roar at Muzan Kibutsuji!

"This is the closest I've ever been to you, and also the last!"

"Kibutsuji Muzan!!!"

"Even if we are annihilated, we will still kill you!!!" Before the words were finished, a deafening explosion swept through the center of the Ubuyashiki clan's territory, and a small mushroom cloud rose up in this desolate wilderness.

So this is the purpose of the Demon Slayer Corps transporting gunpowder; their "secret operation" is for Muzan, their distinguished guest, tonight.

But against a demon king like Muzan, would gunpowder from the Taisho era be of any use?

Kagaya Ubuyashiki and his wife perished in the explosion, their remains never found. The copy of the "Compendium of Materia Medica" from the East was also shattered into pieces and slowly burned to ashes in the fire.

The demons brought by Muzan have also died. Their regeneration rate could not keep up with the destruction of the explosion, so they died quickly and decisively.

However, Muzan's body had almost turned into a huge ball of flesh, writhing in the center of the fire. When he sensed that the explosions on the outside had ended, he retracted the flesh he had used for defense.

“A trivial skill…a futile resistance.”

Muzan snorted coldly, but felt a pain in his back as something that seemed to be a mixture of wisteria flowers, poison, and blood demon magic flowed into his body.

He turned around and saw a petite, elegant woman wearing a bright red and purple floral kimono with slightly curly hair, desperately injecting a potion into Muzan's body.

Upon seeing her, Muzan smiled: "It's Tamayo, long time no see."

Tamayo's expression remained indifferent, and one could even see her clenched back teeth: "Muzan, it has been many years since we last met."

Faced with Tamayo's indifference, Muzan, while controlling his muscles to push the poison out of the needle, deliberately provoked her:
"Tamayo, what are you doing? I saved your life and turned you into a demon. You don't even thank me, why are you trying to kill me?"

"Muzan, you lied to me."

"I didn't. You chose to become a ghost. You said you wanted to live."

"I wanted to live because I wanted to watch my child grow up. If I had known I would become a ghost like that, I should have bitten your throat out of the world!!!"

Tamayo was an elegant and graceful woman. The first word that came to mind when you saw her was "Yamato Nadeshiko" (ideal Japanese woman). However, at this moment, her sharp teeth pierced her lower lip, and her eyes were filled with resentment, making her look like a demon.

As the two talked, the fire was extinguished somewhat, and snowflakes fell from the sky, melting into water amidst the flames of revenge.

Muzan spat out some black blood, which he wiped away with his arm, feeling somewhat annoyed.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki's self-destruction did not cause him much damage, but the wisteria poison and caltrops hidden in the explosion hindered his regeneration. Tamayo's poison could not be neutralized for a while, and his body was stiff and unable to move for the time being.

Just as he was about to speak, he noticed countless figures closing in from the surrounding forest.

The Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps, and almost all of the Demon Slayer Corps members, are here!

Without uttering a single word, the Pillars drew their Nichirin Blades, gritted their teeth, and approached Muzan at their fastest speed ever.

"It's up to you, Lord Himejima Gyomei!" Tamayo placed high hopes on the strongest and most familiar Stone Pillar.

"Hmm." Himejima Gyomei was a blind man, wearing a monk's robe with "Namo Amitabha Buddha" on it, and wielding his meteor hammer and Nichirin Blade like an electric fan.

"Damn it!"

Muzan cursed, but his body was still unable to move. The next moment, the meteor hammer swept across and smashed his head open like a watermelon!
