Reincarnation as Lower Rank Five in Demon Slayer

The newly appointed Lower Moon One, Enmu, looked at Li Lei with confusion, unable to understand why he, as a former Upper Moon, would capture him and why he would betray Lord Muzan.

Seeing Yanmeng's confusion, Li Lei was too lazy to explain, since what he wanted was Yanmeng's Blood Demon Technique, and he didn't care about Yanmeng's doubts at all.

Li Lei arrived in front of the bound Nightmare, extended his right hand, and suddenly squeezed his five fingers together, his right arm turning into a blur as he pierced Nightmare's heart.

Using his right hand, which pierced through Nightmare's body, as a medium, he absorbed Nightmare in the blink of an eye.

Li Lei also obtained the Blood Demon Technique from Nightmare, which allows him to enter dreams and control dreams and the mind's entry and exit from dreams.

Having obtained this Blood Demon Art, Li Lei immediately went to the room where Tanjiro was imprisoned and used the Nightmare Blood Demon Art to make Tanjiro dream of his memories of learning Hinokami Kagura with his father, Tanjuro.

Then, without any hostility, Li Lei used silk threads as a medium to enter Tanjiro's dream. He then learned the incomplete version of Hinokami Kagura, the Sun Breathing technique, as an unnoticed bystander.

An hour later, Tanjiro woke up and the Hinokami Kagura he had learned in his dream became exceptionally clear, as if he had been born with it.

The reason is simple: in order to learn the incomplete version of Hinokami Kagura, Li Lei kept making Tanjiro relive his dream of learning Hinokami Kagura, making it hard for him not to remember it clearly.

Muzan, the Demon Slayer Corps' headquarters commander, strode in with an air of indifference, clearly in a good mood.

After all, obtaining the ability to overcome sunlight and killing the Demon Slayer Corps leader are two wishes that need to be fulfilled at once; anyone would be happy to do that.

In the courtyard of Demon Slayer Corps leader Kaguya, Muzan walked in with ease and pleasure, ignoring the high concentration of poisonous wisteria fumes filling the yard.

Muzan wasn't worried about an ambush. As the progenitor of demons and the strongest demon king, he could easily sense that there were only four people in the courtyard: one man and three women, two of whom were children under ten years old.

"Muzan, you've arrived."

The front door of the house opened, and Tianyin helped Huiyao out.

"Oh! You knew I was coming."

Muzan said, somewhat incredulously.

"Yes, I know. After all, this is an ability that our clan has been bestowed upon us by the gods for generations, allowing us to vaguely foresee the future."

"Haha, that's hilarious. You know you shouldn't run away or call for protection. Do you want to die?"

"Or is it that your so-called god is too narrow-minded and didn't give you the full ability to foresee the future, so you didn't foresee my coming, or that he was incapable of doing so?"

"If you don't believe me, look, I've lived for over a thousand years, and I've never seen any of your so-called gods come to deal with me."

Muzan spoke with a smug look on his face, completely unrestrained.

Hearing Muzan's provocative words, Huiyao Zai was not angry. Instead, he calmly replied:

"Oh—so as the Demon King, you're no longer afraid of Yoriichi and his Sun Breathing!"

Upon hearing this, Muzan's face stiffened, he felt a chill run down his spine and his whole body ache, and he immediately stopped laughing.

"So what? Yoriichi, that monster, has been dead for hundreds of years. Can he come back to life?"

Muzan spoke with a hint of vulnerability.

Yes! He was terrified of Yoriichi, but so what? Yoriichi was already dead and couldn't come back to life.

"It's nothing, I was just saying it casually, don't take it to heart, but I didn't expect you to react so strongly."

Hearing these words, which were intentionally or unintentionally aimed at hitting his sore spot, Muzan's face turned terribly gloomy.

"I'm too lazy to waste words with you. Just prepare to die, Mr. Producer."

As Muzan was about to attack, could he not only argue but also defeat him? Not to brag, but even if there were a thousand patients like Huiyao Zai, he could kill them all with a single finger.

As the Ghost King, he was incredibly confident.

Just as Muzan was about to order his servant to act without saying a word, a cold light flashed, followed by a swift, sweeping strike. Muzan, caught off guard by the sneak attack, was unable to dodge and was struck several times.

Muzan snapped out of his daze and tried to retaliate, only to find that the attacker had already retreated to stand in front of Kaguya, holding a sword.

"It's you, you successor of the Breath of the Sun, what are you doing here?"

Muzan stared in disbelief at Tanjuro, who had suddenly appeared. How could he have failed to notice such a large, living person?

"My lord, you've been frightened."

Tanjuro stood in front of Huiyao and Tianyin, speaking with self-reproach.

"Mr. Tanjuro, there's no need to blame yourself. I'm fine. I feel guilty for making such a strong swordsman like you resort to a sneak attack."

"This was my own choice, so it's not my fault, my lord."

As Kaguya Zaitanjuro spoke, Muzan instantly recovered from his sword wounds.

"Successor of Sun Breathing, your Sun Breathing is far inferior to Yoriichi's back then, and it can't harm me at all."

Just as Muzan was feeling triumphant, he suddenly felt a wave of weakness wash over him.

"Damn it, the knife is poisoned."
