"What are you doing? Isn't it obvious?"

He's cannibalizing his own kind, devouring my demonic blood essence!

After having his demon blood essence stolen, Pei Lang collapsed weakly to the ground and sneered.

Seeing the gazes directed at him by Kyojuro Rengoku and Mitsuri Kanroji, Pero sneered:

"You actually cooperated with him? Do you even know what you're doing?"

Fool! What an utterly stupid fool!

He was a traitor whom Lord Muzan specifically ordered to arrest or kill, simply because he escaped Lord Muzan's control!

Therefore, he not only broke the prohibition against cannibalism, but also continued to grow stronger through cannibalism!

At this point, Peron looked at Rick with a mixture of envy and fear in his eyes.

"Given his ability to eat his own kind, it's impossible to imagine how much his strength will grow in the future."

Perhaps... one day he will possess the same power as Lord Muzan and become the next Demon King!

Silence. The scene fell into a deathly silence.

Rengoku Kyojuro and Kanroji Mitsuri both turned to look at the silent Li Ke.

The next Demon King?!

The Demon Slayer Corps has sacrificed countless comrades over the past thousand years, yet they still haven't been able to kill the Demon King Muzan.

On the contrary, over the past thousand years, countless Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen and even innocent people have died tragically as a result, and tragedies and tragedies have been repeated time and time again.

One Kibutsuji Muzan was enough to make them despair, and they could not see any hope of ending the tragedy.

If another Demon King were to appear in the world, and another Muzan were to emerge...

Thinking of this, Rengoku Kyojuro's body trembled slightly, and his right hand unconsciously rested on the hilt of his sword.

"Master? No, Mr. Purgatory, he's a good person!"

Seeing this, Kanroji Mitsuri reached out and placed her hand on Rengoku Kyojuro's arm, looking anxious.

However, at this moment, Perron sneered.

"A good person? People's hearts are fickle, how do you know he's not pretending?"

"If he becomes the Ghost King, can you bear the consequences?"

Hearing Pero's sneer, Rengoku Kyojuro recalled the old demon with the flute he encountered during his first demon-slaying mission.

The old man with the flute used kidnapping children as hostages to make the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen hesitate to act.

Combined with the incredibly insidious Blood Demon Art, which can paralyze people's nerves through sound.

Ultimately, this led to the tragic deaths of several Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen, with only he managing to survive thanks to information revealed by his comrades before their deaths.

He deliberately ruptured his eardrums, indirectly breaking the Blood Demon Technique, and finally managed to kill the old flute demon and survive.

After experiencing all of this, Rengoku Kyojuro truly understands just how despicable and shameless demons are, and how much they despise human life.

Thinking of this, and recalling the maniacal smile on Pero's face when he slaughtered innocent people with guns and time bombs, I realized that...

Kyojuro Rengoku's eyes became more determined than ever before.

The world has already suffered enough tragedies; it cannot create any more!

"Kanroji Mitsuri, let go!"

Looking into Mitsuri Kanroji's eyes, Kyojuro Rengoku said in a deep voice:

"Have you forgotten the mother and child brutally murdered by Pero, forgotten all the innocent people killed or maimed by time bombs?!"

Upon hearing Rengoku Kyojuro's words, Kanroji Mitsuri was at a loss for words.

Shaking off Mitsuri Kanroji's small hand, Kyojuro Rengoku turned to look at Rick.

"I will never allow another Ghost King to be born, and this world will never allow another Ghost King to be born!"

"One type Shiranui!"

The illusion of flames flashed by, but it only struck Li Ke's afterimage.

"Second Form: Rising Flames!"

A rising slash aimed at Li Ke's arms.

"clang!"

A dull metallic clang rang out, the instant swords clashed.

Li Ke was forced backward by the powerful and heavy blow.

tread!tread!tread!

He took three steps back, finally managing to stop the backward fall, and looked down at the iron sword in his hand.

They discovered an iron sword that had been through many battles and was already riddled with scars.

Now another huge gash has appeared, and it looks like the iron sword won't last much longer before it's ruined.

"Kyojuro Rengoku is unilaterally denying me based solely on the actions of other demons."

Is it too presumptuous to think I'm the next Muzan?

"I, Li Ke, am not Muzan, don't joke around!"

Although he admitted that he did not actually have a good impression of the islanders, especially the islanders of this period.

After all, every Chinese son and daughter can hardly forget that War of Resistance against Japan.

But if you say he would indiscriminately kill innocent people and slaughter women and children like Muzan, he would be the first to disagree.

After all, he wasn't a pervert; the education he received from childhood prevented him from doing such a beastly thing.

However, at this moment, Pero, not wanting to be left out, jumped out to sow discord, saying:

"Every child is born as innocent as a blank sheet of paper."

As a result, how many cases of bullying the weak, deception, fraud, theft, robbery, rape, and murder occur after they grow up?

Being kind in the past doesn't mean you'll be kind in the future, nor does it mean you won't do evil in the future. What are you still hesitating about?

Are we waiting for him to become the next Demon King and create even more tragedies? Shouldn't we eliminate this threat before it's too late?

After saying that, Peron looked at the two of them with an expression of watching a good show, his mouth still laughing maniacally.

This scene of mutual slaughter was the ultimate enjoyment for him.

However, with a flash of cherry-red sword light, Pei Lang could no longer laugh.

Both mind and body are beginning to collapse, like scraps of paper about to burn out.

In this final moment, Pero recalled his memories before his death, and the final image froze on the scene of the crimson sword light sweeping across his neck.

"What amazing swordsmanship, it's just a pity..."

Before he could finish his last sentence, Pero died completely, leaving behind ashes like paper after it had burned.

After sheathing her Nichirin Blade, Kanroji Mitsuri watched the two combatants, her heart filled with great turmoil, unsure of what to do.

Instinct told her that Li Ke was a good person and that what Rengoku Kyojuro was doing was wrong.

But the mother and child who were about to be killed, and the others who died tragically because of Pero, were telling her that Rengoku Kyojuro was not wrong.

Meanwhile, the pressure on Kyojuro Rengoku, who is currently engaged in battle, is increasing.

This battle seems to have accelerated Li Ke's digestion of the demon blood essence, causing his strength to increase at an astonishing rate.

His strength, speed, nerve reaction speed, and even his physique and appearance have changed dramatically compared to before, as if he were a completely different person.

It was only because Li Ke's appearance before was exactly the original appearance of the Buddhist ghost, with disheveled hair, like a wild man.

There are two very unsightly green circles on the sides of the arms and legs closest to the torso.

At this moment, with the help of the immense pressure brought by the battle, Li Ke, who was rapidly absorbing the essence of the demon blood, began to grow at an extremely fast pace.

His clothes burst open, revealing powerful muscles, and the green circles on his arms and legs disappeared without a trace.

His face had also subtly transformed into Li Ke's appearance from his previous life, except that there were no traces of puberty on his face, as if a beauty filter had been applied.

This naturally left Kanroji Mitsuri somewhat stunned.

Unexpectedly, this ghost named Li Ke has become more and more handsome, and his physique has become more and more shapely.

However, a series of rapid footsteps drew the attention of the three people present to the source of the sound.

A group of Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen were rushing towards them. Upon seeing Rengoku Kyojuro fighting Lee, they all drew their Nichirin Blades!
