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

"Cough...!" The thorns of the Blood Rose, like pythons, tightly bound Muzan and his dozen or so tentacles, the powerful force squeezing his eyeballs out and causing him to cough up blood.

Muzan's pupils trembled slightly.

Great!

Entangled by the pillars, and with the woman's unpredictable fighting style, he subconsciously ignored her presence.

The Blood Demon Art that attacked from all directions in an instant was clearly premeditated; otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible to do it so quickly.

gurgle~ squeak~

The thorny rose vines covered Muzan's body so tightly that his bones creaked and his chest felt like it was about to be crushed.

"Ouch!!!" Muzan lowered his head, his teeth were clenched to pieces, his face was flushed red and then turned black. His smooth body began to swell, squeezing the vines and gradually breaking the contracting vines one by one.

Sweat dripped from Yuko's forehead, and she clenched her teeth, her palm reaching out to clench towards Muzan. As if encountering strong resistance, her arm trembled slightly, making it incredibly difficult.

The crimson vines struggled against Muzan, but Yuko's strength could not support the vines' regeneration, and it seemed that Muzan was about to break free of his restraints.

"Ah!" At this moment, Shinazugawa Genya suddenly shouted and rushed forward, hugging Muzan tightly.

The bloody thorns of the vines inevitably pierced his body, and a chilling aura immediately spread throughout his body along the wounds.

This time, unlike the blood on the ground, which was like cool summer water, it felt like the blood in his body was about to freeze, making Xuanmi shiver uncontrollably.

Shinazugawa Genya gritted his teeth, ignoring his trembling body, his mind filled with only the thought of holding Muzan tightly.

Because of his efforts, after consuming Yuko's hair, he gradually swelled to a height of over two meters, a size comparable to Gyomei Himejima, and easily held Muzan in his arms.

"Ah!" Muzan was so enraged that his brain was congested with blood. What on earth are these people?!

To kill him, you'd disregard your own life and death. Are you out of your mind?

Their somewhat ambiguous posture made people wonder if they were up to something.

"Genya!" Shinazugawa Sanemi's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he saw this.

"do not come!"

Shinazugawa Sanemi instinctively wanted to step forward and pull his younger brother away, but he quickly stopped the thought from arising because of Genya's words.

Genya's shout not only deterred his brother Sanemi, but also deterred the others who wanted to help.

Everyone knew that Genya's decision was correct. Yuko's Blood Demon Art alone was no longer enough to restrain Muzan, and they had to reinforce the restraints before he broke free.

A layer of frost covered Genya's body, and he was somewhat dazed. Yuko's cell regeneration kept his condition from getting too bad, but facing the power that was directly at his source, Genya did not have the strength to resist. He could only use that last bit of strength to suppress Muzan.

Yuko could clearly feel that Muzan's struggles had weakened considerably, and the pressure on her body had dropped sharply, indicating that Genya had successfully taken over.

Muzan's condition at this moment was far from good. His entire body was squeezed by the thorny vines, leaving almost no part intact. His cheeks were also squeezed raw and bloody. He struggled to look at the horizon through his only intact eye.

The sky was growing brighter, and dawn was probably just a few minutes away.

Although he was confident he could withstand the dawn sun, he knew he wouldn't have more than twenty minutes left.

We're leaving.

I never expected to end up in such a sorry state. This is the most humiliating time for Muzan since he encountered that monster in the Warring States period.

But this time the danger was different. That kind of monster wouldn't appear a second time. Perhaps the woman had the ability to capture him when she was at her peak, but she ultimately didn't have that power.

"Don't think you can kill me with this level of skill." Muzan turned to look at the crowd with a sinister look in his eyes. His tone was difficult, but full of disdain and smugness. "Resent that you missed your only chance because of your cowardice."

"I won't let you escape!" Shinazugawa Sanemi's eyes twitched violently. How could he let his younger brother slip away from the opportunity he had risked his life for?

But Yuko knew that Muzan was talking to her.

If she had listened to Tamayo and eaten her fill before the battle, she might have been able to suppress Muzan.

Yuko parted her lips slightly: "Perhaps."

But Yuko didn't want to do that.

"I might really regret it when you run away."

but……

“If you can do that.” Yuko’s voice turned cold.

Muzan's mind gradually calmed down. Having decided to escape, he had lost the will to fight, but what rose with it was absolute confidence.

Absolute confidence in escaping.

He was able to escape from that monster, so how could these worthless trash possibly stop him?

Or……

"Do you think this level of Blood Demon Art can stop me?" Muzan was bound by thorny vines, his entire body wrapped in them, and only his body could be vaguely seen.

This woman really underestimated him, thinking that this level of skill was enough to stop him.

Yuko didn't mind Muzan's arrogance, after all, it wasn't her time that was being wasted: "You're welcome to try."

Even without her saying anything, Muzan was already preparing to escape.

The sun is about to rise.

"Don't get distracted!" Sensing Muzan's movement, Gyomei Himejima quickly reminded him.

At this crucial moment when the sun was about to rise, instead of the excitement and anticipation of dawn, everyone was extremely solemn.

Because they knew that Muzan's strongest counterattack was about to begin.

"It's here!" Tanjiro's pupils contracted as he saw the changes occurring within Muzan's body.

"Whoa!!!" Muzan roared, his muscles began to swell violently, as if he was trying to break through the double blockade of Yuuko and Genya with the swelling flesh on his body, but Tanjiro vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Suddenly, Tanjiro's eyes widened slightly.

No, it's not physical expansion, this guy is about to split apart!

Tamayo's efforts were not kept secret from them, so Tanjiro and the others quickly realized Muzan's actions.

Will it work?

Did Muzan break down that toxin?

If Muzan really splits up, can we really stop him?

Apart from Mr. Himejima and Yuuko, none of them could turn their blades red, so they had no way to suppress Muzan's regeneration. Even if they could use their numerical advantage to cut Muzan's fragmented flesh into pieces, they still couldn't stop his regeneration.

Everyone was lost in thought, but Yuko remained expressionless.

She had no choice but to trust Tamayo completely.
