Reincarnation as Lower Rank Five in Demon Slayer

Seeing Doma's smile fade, Li Lei felt a sudden increase in pressure. His muscles bulged involuntarily, his blood flow accelerated, and his powerful heart pounded in a peculiar rhythm.

Li Lei's aura suddenly intensified. Douma, noticing this change, smiled again, thinking to himself that it was interesting. He hadn't expected that Lei would hold back some of his strength in his battle with Upper Moon Six, Gyutaro.

"Tired, you really surprised me! I didn't expect you to even know the Demon Slayer Corps' breathing techniques. It seems you were a member of the Demon Slayer Corps before you became a demon."

"I've heard that people who know breathing techniques become very powerful after turning into demons. I'd love to see it for myself, but none of the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen I've met are willing to become demons."

"This has been causing me a lot of distress, but your appearance has made me very happy. Just how strong is a demon who knows breathing techniques? I'm tired. Can you show me?"

Tong Mo held a golden iron fan in each hand, assumed an attacking stance, and looked at Li Lei with a smile.

Li Lei cast a disdainful look at Doma. "Upper Moon One Kokushibo knows breathing techniques, huh? If you want to see a breathing demon, why don't you fight him instead of me? I think you just want to fight me."

Li Lei was very angry. "Tong Mo, aren't you supposed to be emotionless? Why are you so petty with me? All I did was say a few bad things about you. Is it necessary to find an excuse to hit me like this?"

Ignoring Li Lei's disdainful gaze, Tong Mo was about to attack him when he vanished from his spot and instantly appeared in front of Li Lei, delivering a powerful blow to Li Lei's chest with his iron fan.

With a bang, Li Lei successfully blocked Tong Mo's attack by wrapping his hands with blood threads, but under Tong Mo's powerful strength, Li Lei was still knocked back several meters.

After blocking Doma's attack, Li Lei immediately took out the Nichirin Blade from the alternate dimension. With the support of the Thunder Breathing Technique, Li Lei suddenly exerted force with both feet.

With a loud bang, Li Lei left two deep footprints on the spot, and with lightning speed, he slashed at Douma with his Nichirin Blade.

"Thunder Breathing Technique - Lightning Flash"

Li Lei attacked Tong Mo at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye. Tong Mo immediately took Li Lei's attack seriously and crossed his iron fans to prepare to withstand it.

With a loud bang, a piercing metallic clang rang in the ears of the two demons. Tongmo was forced back several dozen steps by Li Lei's attack.

After delivering this blow, Li Lei pushed off the ground with both feet and leaped into the air, then launched a barrage of silk threads at Tong Mo on the ground.

While Tongmo was busy dealing with the silk threads, Li Lei made a fist with both hands in front of Tongmo. Countless of the hardest silk threads gathered into a cone shape in the middle of Li Lei's palms.

"Blood Demon Art - Engraved Poison Dragon Drill"

An attack as thick as a human head, like a red streak, hurtled straight towards Doma. Its speed was so great that even Doma couldn't react in time.

"Blood Demon Art - Crystal Princess"

In the moment of crisis, Doma immediately used the Blood Demon Art: Crystal Child to create a small ice doll that looked exactly like himself and stood in front of him.

Just as Douma created the ice figure to defend himself, Li Lei's attack struck the Douma-shaped ice figure. The ice figure shattered, and the rapidly spinning red conequer continued its attack on Douma.

Without a second thought, Doma immediately used his Blood Demon Art to create an ice wall in front of him, continuing to block Li Lei's incredibly powerful attack.

The moment the ice wall formed, the rapidly spinning red tap immediately collided with it.

Immediately, the ice wall and the wire cone began to collide with each other, and countless ice shards flew between them, just like snow falling.

The Ice Man's shattering surprised Doma somewhat, after all, the Ice Man who resembled him was not only similar, but could also use many of his Blood Demon Arts.

This ice figure was his own clone. But even this clone was shattered by Rui, the Lower Moon One, with a single Blood Demon Art.

You should know that you are the Upper Moon Two of the Twelve Demon Moons, the strongest demon besides Muzan and Upper Moon One. Your ice clone is even capable of rivaling Upper Moon Six!

At this moment, the ice wall shattered, and the red silk spikes attacked Douma again. Douma frowned, raised his hand, and swung his iron fan. The red silk spikes, which had already exhausted too much power, were directly knocked away and stuck to the wall next to him.

The power of this Blood Demon Art surprised Doma once again. Even after shattering his ice man and breaking through his ice wall, it still had the power to attack him.

"What a powerful attack! Tired, you really surprised me."

Tong Mo looked up at Li Lei, who was soaring through the air with his wings spread, and couldn't help but admire him.

Li Lei flapped his silken wings in the air and made a face at Tong Mo.

"Hey, popsicle ghost, I know whether I'm good or not, I don't need you to tell me."

"I have something to do next, so I won't be able to play with you anymore. Bye-bye, popsicle ghost."

After Li Lei finished speaking to Tong Mo, his wings suddenly flapped and flew eastward with a whoosh.

Tongmo: "(ー_ー)!!"

"Uh—you're leaving already? I was hoping to spar with you again, but you left just as I was getting serious. Didn't I take that Blood Demon Art attack for nothing?!"

"Help! Something seems to have happened here!"

"I just heard a really loud noise. I hope someone got hurt."

The brief exchange between Li Lei and Tong Mo attracted the attention of people nearby. Upon hearing someone approaching, Tong Mo frowned and then disappeared on the spot at an extremely fast speed.

"Huh! Why is there no one in this alley? The sound was definitely coming from here!"

One of the visitors, a middle-aged man in a gray kimono, asked.

"Could it be the sound of a monster?"

A young man of medium height standing nearby said.

"Fujiwara, don't scare me, I'm very timid."

Behind the two, a somewhat panicked long-haired young man spoke cautiously.

In the end, the three of them found nothing except some broken ice on the ground.

In another deserted alley, the last rays of moonlight slowly spilled down, making Doma's face appear so cold.

At that moment, a portal appeared out of thin air in front of Doma, but Doma was not surprised by the sudden appearance of the portal.

"Have you arrived? It's Muzan-sama's summons."

Doma walked straight into the newly appeared doorway, and as soon as he entered, the doorway vanished. Doma's disappearance brought peace back to the alley.

……

In the Infinite Castle of another dimension, in a field where red spider lilies grow, Doma kneels quietly on the ground, looking at the Demon King Muzan. Muzan calmly turns his back to Upper Moon Two Doma, dripping various strange potions onto the base of the chosen red spider lily. He then observes the spider lily's reaction.

"Doma, you've gone a bit overboard with the tiring stuff."

Muzan, observing the reaction of the spider lily, spoke to Doma.

"Lord Muzan, I just wanted to test Rui's power, I didn't intend to do anything."

Tong Mo replied with a smile.

With a bang, Doma's head was smashed by an unidentified object.

"Did I tell you to try it, Doma!"

Muzan turned around and looked coldly at Doma, whose head had been restored.

"No, Lord Muzan, this action was my own decision, and I have disappointed you once again."

Doma hereby accepts any punishment.

Seeing that Doma showed no fear of death, Muzan became even angrier and directly cleaved Doma in two. He then ordered Nakime to throw the two halves of Doma out of the Infinity Castle.

Inside the leader's room at the headquarters of the Eternal Bliss Cult, the two halves of Doma fell from the portal that had just appeared in the air. Immediately, thanks to the powerful regenerative abilities of a demon, the two halves of Doma's body were reunited and restored to their original state.

"Oh dear, oh dear, it seems that Lord Muzan is really angry."

Doma patted his head with his golden iron fan.
