Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began When I Became Yoriichi's Sister

Chapter 356 External and Internal Use, Excellent Health

Kaigaku's figure vanished into thin air, leaving not a trace of his existence.

"call……"

Zenitsu took a deep breath. He thought he would be happy because he had killed the traitor.

To be honest, he knew very well that Kaiyue was beyond saving. It wasn't that he had become a demon, but that his mind was too twisted and he was no longer a normal person.

Such a person, even if reintegrated into human society, would only harm others.

Even though Yuko herself still insists that if you encounter a ghost, you just need to find a way to cut off its head, this is an indiscriminate idea.

However, many people in the Demon Slayer Corps, including the Pillars including the Master, have undergone significant changes in their views on demons.

He thought that he probably didn't just hate Kaigaku for turning into a demon.

Rather, it was his insatiable hatred that led to his tragic end.

It's not wrong to want to live, but those who don't know how to give will ultimately not receive anything in return.

Those who allow their greed to swell will ultimately lose everything.

Humans are social animals and cannot live alone.

"Phew..." Zenitsu let out another long breath.

"Honestly, he always talks so casually, I thought it was pretty simple," he muttered to himself, puzzled.

If Yuko were there, she would probably understand what he meant.

When Miss Yuko talks about her brother, she always says with a ruthless expression that if she ever encounters him, she'll chop him into mincemeat, cut him into seven or eight hundred pieces, and then feed him to the pigs.

He felt a chill run down his spine and his whole body trembled uncontrollably when he heard that.

Now that he has encountered it, he feels no joy whatsoever after killing the other party.

He and Kaigaku didn't have much of a relationship, and things have already turned out like this. Can Miss Yuko really bring herself to do it?

Zenitsu withdrew his gaze and left in the direction of Gyomei Himejima.

……

Somewhere in the Infinite City.

Nakime paused on her lute and looked up into the distance.

Too bad.

The Upper Moons, except for Lord Kokushibo, have all been killed.

The Demon Slayer Corps is stronger than we imagined; even the Upper Moon demons can only suffer defeat in front of them.

Those pillars... are not simple... they are not on the same level as the pillars I have encountered before.

Is it really the enhancement from that mark?

What left Nakime speechless was that the most useless guy was actually killed by a brat who wasn't even a Pillar...

No, that good-for-nothing was one thing, but even Hantengu and Lord Doma were killed.

Nakime didn't have many thoughts about Kaigaku, her colleague who suddenly took office and sat on the Upper Moon throne.

He was only chosen as an Upper Moon by Muzan because of Kokushibo, and he's just a... loser.

Nakime couldn't help but look back. Not far behind her, between two buildings, there was a cocoon that looked like a spider web.

Hurry up, Lord Muzan...

I can't hold on much longer...

……

"Are you about to give up?"

Is anyone coming?

Deep within the Infinity Castle, Tanjiro was panting heavily, his clothes torn and tattered from numerous small cuts.

He looked cautiously at the naked, strong-looking Kuroshibo ahead, and gritted his teeth inwardly.

That's outrageous... This monster...

Even if you can see the other person's movements clearly through that world, it's difficult for your own body to keep up, and even your eyes can hardly keep up.

His opponent possessed the same abilities as him: markings and the ability to see the world. Based on these, the strength of his body would determine everything.

No, there's one more trick.

If I could master that ability... the Crimson Blade...

As Tanjiro was lost in thought, Kokushibo seemed to see right through him.

"Do you understand now? Where did you lose?" Kokushibo calmly stopped in front of him and said, "That's right... Being human is the reason for your defeat."

Before Tanjiro could reply, Inosuke, standing behind him, asked with difficulty, "Who lost?"

"I'm still alive and well!"

Tanjiro glanced out of the corner of his eye at Inosuke, who was struggling to get up behind him.

His hood was half torn open, revealing a handsome face underneath. His bare upper body bore a deep knife wound, with the flesh turned outwards and blood flowing freely.

Tanjiro said without turning his head, "Inosuke, you recover first, I'll figure out a way to hold on."

Although he was very concerned about Inosuke's injuries, if no one kept an eye on this monster, they would all be wiped out in an instant.

Tanjiro was probably a bit too gloomy, because Kokushibo had no intention of stepping forward. Instead, he reached out his hand towards them.

"So? Do you want to become a demon? Because you have a lot of talent, so it's worth it." Kokushibo was actually thinking about recruiting people for the company at this time.

No, perhaps he just felt that as long as he could convince the other party, the human that Yuko favored the most, he could prove to Yuko and Yoriichi that he was the one who was right.

"To have mastered the Mark and the Transparent Domain at such a young age, there is no doubt that you possess rare talent." Seeing that Tanjiro remained unmoved, Kokushibo couldn't help but try to win him over again.

"However, if you don't resolve the fact that the marks will inevitably lead to death, you will have no path to becoming stronger."

Tanjiro calmly refused, saying, "I didn't wield a sword to become stronger."

If it weren't for Muzan, he would probably still be living happily with his family on the mountain, making a living by burning charcoal.

"Besides, isn't Yoriichi-san a human being stronger than a demon?"

Upon hearing this name, Kokushibo couldn't help but pause in surprise.

Sure enough, no matter how many times you hear this name, it will always make you feel disgusted.

“Is that so…” Kokushibo’s tone became even calmer. “You think the same way as Yuuko.”

"In that case, I will have no choice but to kill you."

To be honest, compared to Kaigaku, who would kneel before him without hesitation just to survive, he felt that Tanjiro was more worth trying to win over.

Even though he found the face disgusting, it was a pity...

As soon as the voice faded, Tanjiro felt that extreme pressure again, and Shengren's aura rushed towards him.

Behind him, Inosuke took out a potion and applied it to his body.

He remembers it clearly: for both external and internal use.

Seeing this, Kokushibo frowned.

Is it Yuko's blood?

It can give humans almost a second life, but it means nothing in the face of the strong. Even if you are given a chance, it is just a matter of taking another hit.

Sensing the change in Kokushibo's aura, and knowing that Inosuke behind him had not fully recovered, Tanjiro decided to strike first.

"Breath of the Sun, Twelfth Form: Flame Dance!"

The fiery figure lunged forward, unleashing a powerful crimson cross slash aimed at Kokushibo's neck.

Kokushibo retreated rapidly, choosing to evade.

Tanjiro's eyes lit up slightly; he wasn't entirely without a chance of winning.
