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

As it turned out, everyone's worries were unnecessary.

The thorny vines were gradually stretched out, and Muzan's body was constricted into ugly deformities. Even Genya's embrace was gradually stretched open.

Just as Muzan's body swelled to a certain extent, the ever-expanding body suddenly stopped, as if it were bound by thorny vines and could not grow any larger. But Muzan knew in his heart that it was not the vines that were the problem, but that his splitting was being prevented.

Muzan's pupils trembled violently as panic surged through his brain.

His confidence to stay here wasn't based on the belief that he could eliminate these people before sunrise, but rather on his ability to split into thousands of pieces in an instant, making him confident that no one could stop him.

Even Yoriichi couldn't do it, so it's no wonder Muzan is so confident.

But now, he can no longer use his ability to split.

Muzan was completely panicked.

Who?

Is it Tamayo, that woman?

All he could think of was the time when Tamayo ambushed him and injected some strange things into his body.

And those things weren't completely broken down?!

Tamayo's centuries-old medical expertise allowed the complex layers of toxins to perfectly conceal themselves, preventing Muzan from detecting and breaking them down.

While Muzan was still in shock, Yuuko tilted her head and asked with a puzzled look, "What's wrong? Why did it stop?"

Normally, her pretentious attitude might have drawn criticism from others, but this was a crucial moment. Everyone was completely focused, their eyes glued to Muzan without blinking, and they consciously spread out to block Muzan's escape route.

Muzan was not affected by Yuko's words; his mind was filled with Tamayo's image.

Yes, that damned woman's talent in medicine is undeniable; otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to turn her into a ghost.

This is a toxin he's never seen before; analysis and decomposition... will take time...

But the sun was about to rise, and there was no time left.

Moreover, these people won't give him a chance.

He might really die here.

While Muzan felt immense panic, the ruthlessness in his heart was also rapidly rising.

It's ridiculous that he was driven to this point by these scumbags, even to the point of threatening his own life.

Muzan was about to fight to the death, but Genya, holding Muzan's face, had already lost consciousness.

We can't let him stay in the center of the battlefield with Muzan.

Yuko used her Blood Demon Technique to separate Genya's hands from the thorn bushes with vines that were free of blood thorns. However, unexpectedly, when the vines wrapped around Genya's wrists and upper body and pulled him backward, they failed to budge his body.

Genya's unwavering will prevented Yuko from easily moving him and Muzan apart.

Seeing this, Sanemi Shinazugawa understood Ikuko's meaning and immediately shouted at Genya, "Genya! Let go!"

As he heard his voice, Genya unconsciously trusted it. Yuko felt the resistance lessen and pulled Genya away from Muzan, dragging him to the back to recover.

He has Yuko's cells in his body, so he should be able to fully recover soon.

As Genmi was pulled away, the loss of a layer of restraints caused Muzan to become restless and uneasy.

Kaka...

As the vines of Yuko's Blood Demon Art broke one by one, everyone's hearts were in their throats.

I'm about to break free!

Everyone was on edge, their hands gripping their Nichirin Blades so tightly they were almost cramping, and they dared not let their attention wander even for a moment.

Just as everyone was waiting for Muzan to escape, suddenly, without any warning, when there were still quite a few Blood Demon Art vines left, a strong, invisible shockwave suddenly erupted from Muzan's body.

"What?" Everyone was shocked.

boom! ! !

A colorless, powerful shockwave emanated from Muzan and spread outwards in all directions in an instant, causing the ground to tremble.

No one expected this sudden move, not even Yuko. She hadn't anticipated that Muzan still possessed such abilities.

The sudden attack caused great losses to the group that wanted to surround Muzan at close range. Almost no one was able to react before being thrown away by the powerful impact.

Sure enough, even a centipede with a hundred legs doesn't die easily.

Do they still have such reserves?

Yuko was positioned further away from the others. After seeing them being sent flying backward, she didn't rush to escape. Instead, she used her Blood Demon Art to slow down the speed and power of the shockwave, helping to lessen the force of the attack on everyone.

"Blood Demon Art: Wall of Blood Floating Pagoda".

A wall made of blood blocked the path of the shockwave.

Unlike Yuuko's previous abilities, which were entirely composed of ice crystals, the walls were like viscous blood.

boom! ! !

The powerful shockwave quickly collided head-on with Yuuko's Blood Demon Art. The walls made of viscous blood shook violently, but ultimately could not withstand the advance of the shockwave.

Fortunately, the time that was delayed gave them a chance to move everyone away. After the wall was created, Yuko used her Blood Demon Art to stop everyone in mid-air and dragged them back.

During the retreat, patches of blood rapidly spread across the ground where she walked barefoot, quickly turning into ice crystals and covering the area.

Seeing this exaggerated scene, the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen who were surrounding the area also retreated to a more distant location.

Boom~

Along the way, the ground was overturned inch by inch, like broken bricks and tiles, as if it wanted to wipe everything in the area clean, leaving nothing behind.

The ice crystals left under Yuko's feet were also scraped to pieces, but the remaining ice crystals quickly spread again.

When everyone came to their senses and looked at the center of the battlefield, they saw dust and smoke rising everywhere. The surrounding buildings had been destroyed by the shockwave, leaving only a patch of ground that had turned blood red due to Yuko's Blood Demon Art.

Yuko was panting heavily. The continuous use of Blood Demon Art had made her extremely hungry, and the little bit of flesh and blood she had devoured from Muzan had been completely digested.

Yuko turned around and asked, "Are you all alright?"

"Cough cough... Where is Muzan?" Everyone struggled to get up from the ground, and they all couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, obviously caused by the shock wave.

“No problem, I sealed off the ground before retreating.” Yuko’s expression was a little grim, but thankfully she didn’t give Muzan a chance.

Her Blood Demon Art sealed off the ground; unless Muzan could fly, there was absolutely no way to avoid her senses.

No one dared to delay; before they could even receive treatment, they scrambled to their feet and ran towards the field.

"Yuko..." Before leaving, Shinobu glanced at Yuko.

But before Yuko could respond, she gritted her teeth and followed the others.

Yu Zi smiled with relief; she wasn't so hungry that she needed someone to take care of her.
