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

Chapter 379 Unfriendly to Short People

In a short time, only Yuuko, Muzan, Shinazugawa Genya, and Himejima Gyomei remained standing intact. Everyone else was affected to varying degrees and lost their ability to fight.

Genmi turned around in surprise: "Hey! What's wrong with you guys?!"

Before anyone could reply, Xuanmi felt a blur before his eyes and his legs went weak.

He looked down and saw that his hands were undergoing a strange transformation; his skin was deforming and red, swollen veins were spreading across his arms.

And because of the demon's regenerative ability, this curse-like distortion is constantly being repaired.

Beiming Yuxingming let out a muffled groan, also realizing his own condition.

Although he couldn't see his own physical condition clearly, he could feel the changes happening inside his body.

My body is weakening... no, it's worse than that. My body is gradually losing control. My breathing and pulse are becoming disordered. The precision of my breathing techniques is decreasing. And I'm also experiencing excruciating pain.

Yuko didn't notice the two's state and subconsciously looked at Shinobu Kocho.

On Shinobu Kocho's delicate face, which was tinged with pain, unsightly flesh bulged out, resembling ruptured blood vessels.

This appearance is comparable to that of Kagaya Ubuyashiki, who was cursed.

Yuko looked at the others again, and they looked almost identical to Shinobu Kocho, except for the degree of their deformity.

“I can’t move…” Yuzui Tengen was still able to speak while kneeling on the ground, but a look of pain appeared on his face.

Sanemi Shinazugawa struggled to his feet: "I can still move!"

Yu Zi tripped him, saying, "Idiot, don't be stubborn at a time like this."

If you are poisoned, moving like this will accelerate the onset of the poison.

“Damn it… bastard…” Shinazugawa Sanemi cursed weakly.

The most serious cases are among the short characters like Shinobu Kocho and Obanai Iguro. Is the severity of the bruising based on their body size?

Himejima Gyomei is also affected, but because he has the best physical condition among them, he can still stand there instead of falling down like the others.

Poison? Or a curse?

I never expected Muzan to have such a method.

She fought Muzan for so long without any physical abnormalities, not because she had exceptional physical abilities, but because Muzan knew that this move wouldn't be very effective against Yuko and never intended to use it on her from the beginning.

This current situation is probably exactly what Muzan wanted to see.

The fighting power of more than ten Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps was instantly reduced by seventy or eighty percent.

Seeing that Shinobu's small hand holding the Nichirin Blade was also beginning to distort, Ikuko panicked instantly.

How to do?

Let alone a curse, even if her blood contained toxins, it would be difficult to cleanse it, unless the toxins did not penetrate deeply into the body.

The reason why the curse of Ubuyashiki was able to be suppressed before was because the distorted flesh and blood of Ubuyashiki Kagaya were completely cleaned up and the flesh and blood were regenerated by Ikuko's blood.

But at this point, can she do this all by herself?

Moreover, no anesthetic was available for the public.

Just as Yuko was about to try anything as a last resort, Muzan's attack came.

Adhering to the excellent moral quality of taking advantage of someone's weakness to kill them, Muzan wielded the more than ten tentacle whips on his body and attacked.

Yuko instinctively tried to dodge, but realized that Muzan's target was not her, but those lying on the ground who were temporarily unable to resist.

not good!

This guy's goal is to reduce their numbers!

Muzan realized that he could not deal with Yuuko in a short time, so he had no choice but to get rid of these troublesome humans first.

Yu Zi felt a chill run down her spine and stopped retreating. She forced herself to stay in place and swung her twin swords at the rapidly approaching whip.

However, because of her subconscious retreat, Yu Zi's counterattack was somewhat hasty, and several long whips swept past her and attacked her from behind.

not good!

They couldn't block them all!

Yuko turned around with difficulty.

Wow~

At the same time, the crisp sound of chains clanging rang out.

"Breath of Rock - Fourth Form - Rhyolite - Swift Conquest!" Gyomei Himejima was still able to hold on, rapidly spinning his broad axe and meteor hammer while turning the chains.

The heavy weapon that whistled past crushed Muzan's long whips one by one.

The broken whip could not be repaired immediately because of the crimson weapon.

Muzan clicked his tongue in annoyance. "That weapon is indeed troublesome..."

Yuko breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, there were still people who could move.

But she felt no joy; the danger was far from over.

What should I do?!

Muzan brandished his tentacle whips, attacking relentlessly: "When I attacked them, I injected my own blood into their bodies."

“My blood will destroy their cells like a deadly poison. In three minutes, just three minutes, they will die.”

It should have taken at least five minutes, but Muzan deliberately controlled the time it took for the blood to change, and had been lurking in everyone's bodies for a while now.

Yuko was frantically defending against Muzan's attacks, her mind completely elsewhere.

"Idiot! Don't just stand there! Your blood can work!" Yushiro's voice came from somewhere, pulling Yuko back from her chaotic thoughts.

"Miss Yuko! Your blood!" Genmi's body seemed to have gone through a struggle, but it had now recovered completely.

Clearly, in the clash of blood, it was Ikuko's blood that triumphed over Muzan's blood.

That's it! If it were poison, she wouldn't be able to do anything about it, but this is Muzan's blood!

Perhaps it's impossible to compare strength simply by looking at blood, but Yuko's blood is related to her own Blood Demon Art.

If it's about Blood Demon Arts, she wouldn't lose to Muzan.

"Mr. Himejima! Don't resist!" Yuko reminded him, then waved her hand and threw several blood arrows at Himejima Gyomei, which pierced into his body and disappeared. "Please, help me hold off Muzan."

Having said that, without waiting for Beimingyu Xingming's consent, he turned around and began to treat the others.

Just as she said, Muzan naturally did not want to see the situation, which had finally improved, turn upside down again, so he moved his body and attacked much more fiercely than before.

Its tentacled whips crackled and lashed, leaving fissures and craters in their wake.

Muzan Kibutsuji is a genuine, terrifying being who is completely separated from the Upper Moon demons.

Hisoka Gyomei's figure was forced to retreat step by step, and he had no way to continue to hold on against the fully-formed Muzan.

Wounds appeared on his body, and Muzan's blood continued to erode Himejima Gyomei's body. However, due to Ikuko's blood within him, an invisible battle unfolded between the two within Himejima Gyomei's body.

Himejima Gyomei's condition wasn't great at the moment, but thanks to Yuko's blood stitching up his body, the pressure on him wasn't as great as he had imagined.

Moreover, Xuanmi was there to help him quell the fire.

Xuanmi was also filled with lingering fear. He had just had the idea of ​​finding an opportunity to devour Muzan's flesh and blood.

Looking at it now, this guy is covered in thorns. If you eat it, you'll probably kick the bucket before it even digests.
