The demon monk in the second dimension

However, it did not provide any real defense against Xia Zhi's punches.

Not only was the spider web destroyed by the summer solstice, but even the two large trees connected by the web fell down due to the force of the pull.

Lei himself was knocked unconscious by Xia Zhi's twelve straight punches.

Chapter 88 Declaration and Accelerated Speed

Xia Zhi stretched out her right hand and picked up the unconscious Lei, holding it in her hand!

Countless fleshy sprouts emerged from his hands, devouring Lei.

Then, Xia Zhi deliberately made a gesture of putting the snack in her hand into her mouth, and chewed it with a smacking sound.

Strands of blood flowed from his mouth, which Xia Zhi licked away with her large, barbed tongue.

Seeing this bloody and cruel scene, the Demon Slayer Corps and the surviving Taisho warriors turned pale and their legs trembled.

Then they discovered that the giant demon's gaze was fixed on them.

Everyone was in despair!

Are they going to die in the mouths of evil spirits today?

Shinobu Kocho's heart sank.

With a solemn expression, she gripped the Nichirin Blade at her waist and addressed her subordinates.

"Run! Run! You are no match for him! Go and report this evil spirit to our lord!"

With a body this large, the poison I have could never kill him!

Sister, I'm afraid I'll have to come and keep you company today!

"Lord Worm Pillar!"

Upon hearing this, the Demon Slayer Corps members nearby understood that Shinobu Kocho was willing to risk her life to cover their retreat, and they were all deeply moved.

They discovered that the evil spirit had only glanced at them before suddenly vanishing.

"what?"

Everyone was stunned by what they saw.

It's like they just ignored them like a fart!

Shinobu Kocho was also puzzled as to why the demon wasn't attacking them.

She couldn't help but wonder: Could this enormous size be some kind of blood demon magic?

Is this unknown demon unable to maintain the Blood Demon Art?

But that's a good thing.

She drew her Nichirin Blade from her waist and rebuked the survivors around her.

"Don't stand still! The Lower Moon demon has been defeated, but there are other demons inside! Eliminate them!"

The group quickly came to their senses; a tough battle awaited them.

"Yes!"

……

Xia Zhi remotely used the Crimson Light Sword to break through space and then recalled the Asura incarnation.

At the same time, he used the remaining piece of flesh from Muzan Kibutsuji to make a declaration to the Twelve Crescent Moons in the mental network, using Muzan Kibutsuji's tone and manner.

"The fifth crescent moon was lazy and uncooperative, so I've already dealt with it. The remaining crescent moons shouldn't disappoint me. Otherwise, whether it's the upper or lower crescent, they'll all die!"

The twelve demon moons, scattered throughout the Taisho era, all trembled upon hearing the words that suddenly appeared in their minds.

Several of the Crescent Moons who had planned to take a break were so frightened that they trembled all over, and their enthusiasm for work suddenly more than doubled!

The nameless man, who had watched the entire event through the Mirror Light Technique, felt something was off.

She tilted her head and asked at the 25-degree angle that Xia Zhi liked best.

"Master, why don't you take action against the Demon Slayer Corps? If they kill demons, aren't they reducing our supplies?"

Xia Zhi stroked Wuming's head and said to her.

"The more demons the Demon Slayer Corps and the Taisho Army kill, the more humans the remaining demons will turn into demons in order to complete their missions. Their existence is also a spur to the Twelve Crescent Moons."

"Moreover, I can also collect their souls while the demons are fighting the Demon Slayer Corps."

Xia Zhi continued, scratching Wuming's chin as if scratching a cat.

"Besides, we're only staying here for a year. After I recover, I'll leave this world. What we need is to nurture them and then reap the rewards, not to proceed cautiously like we did in your world."

Wuming nodded, a mischievous smile suddenly appearing on her delicate face.

"I thought you had your eye on that girl Shinobu Kocho and wanted to vent your frustrations on me before I could materialize. Ouch!"

"Don't think about these things."

Xia Zhi gave Wuming a sharp rap on the head, handing over the exhausted soul and the souls of those who died on Mount Natagumo to her.

"What are you dawdling about here for? Get back to your cultivation!"

……

A week after ordering the Taisho Army to cooperate with the Demon Slayer Corps in eliminating man-eating demons, the Imperial Palace, the Cabinet, the military, and the Demon Slayer Corps, represented by Kagaya Ubuyashiki, once again gathered together to open fire.

The same lieutenant general was still in charge of the report.

"...This operation covered the entire country and involved six members of the Crescent Moon Clan, four of whom were identified."

"Besides Lower Moon Five being killed by an unknown crescent moon, Lower Moon Two and Lower Moon Six were also defeated by our military in conjunction with the Flame Pillar, Stone Pillar, and Wind Pillar."

"The Upper Moon Six has appeared in the entertainment district. It is a brother and sister. The sister is named Daki, and her hidden identity is the courtesan of the entertainment district. The demons of the entertainment district have now been wiped out, but the two of them escaped underground and were not successfully killed."

"A unit annihilated the entire village of Xiaofeng, which had been transformed into demons, but that same night, the demons gathered and wiped them out in the county town, turning them all into man-eating demons. All their military equipment was lost. It is suspected that Gengetsu was involved. A new force has been dispatched to assist the Demon Slayer Corps' Serpent Pillar and Mist Pillar in their subjugation."

Hearing these reports of either victory or defeat, Jiaren sighed.

"The casualties are considerable, and a batch of weapons has even fallen into the hands of the demons. Lieutenant General Honda, you must work with the Demon Slayer Corps members who are familiar with man-eating demons to eliminate all the demons as soon as possible and protect the safety of the people!"

"Hi Yi!"

The lieutenant general saluted Jiaren and stepped aside.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki looked worried and offered advice to Yoshihito.

"Your Majesty, I suggest strengthening the security of armories in various regions. Once the demons know the power of firearms, they will naturally want to obtain more. The Demon Slayer Corps and its warriors are made of flesh and blood; engaging in positional warfare with firearms against the unkillable man-eating demons is the worst possible choice."

Upon hearing this, Jiaren turned his gaze toward the military.

The military lieutenant general nodded and addressed the crowd.

"I have ordered all armories and military camps to be on high alert and ready for combat at any time. Wartime control will be activated if necessary!"

After a brief discussion within the cabinet, the Prime Minister addressed Yoshihito.

"Your Majesty, the Cabinet recommends imposing a curfew on all towns and cities, large and small, and dispatching police and troops to patrol before the cannibals are eradicated on a large scale."

Jiaren frowned slightly.

"The great war in Europe has just ended, and people's livelihoods are devastated. Wartime control would probably be detrimental to economic development."

The Prime Minister explained.

"Your Majesty, there are still many villages located too remotely, making it difficult for towns with telegraph access to contact them. Given the current situation, I'm afraid it's already..."

The Prime Minister paused for a moment.

Even without saying it, everyone knows what he means.

Jiaren remained silent for a while, feeling his headache getting worse and even a little dizzy.

Has the situation gotten that serious?

No one spoke, but that was the clear meaning.

A military general stepped forward and spoke.

"Your Majesty, according to the battle report, even the Upper Moon Lands, which are directly bombarded by mortars, only suffer injuries, and bullet wounds heal almost instantly. To prevent any Upper Moon from committing treasonous acts, we have strengthened the surrounding defenses, and we hope that you will allow Mr. Ubuyashiki to reside here for the next few days."

His meaning was clear: he wanted the three Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps to protect Yoshihito as well.

When facing such a formidable opponent who can take on a hundred men, be wary of their decapitation tactics.

Since it concerned his own life, Jiaren nodded quickly.

Chapter 89 A Busy Summer Solstice

The death of the exhausted man frightened many of the crescent moons.

Or to put it bluntly, there aren't many Crescent Moons that are seriously and wholeheartedly creating ghosts.

They still retained the principle of "keeping a low profile" that Muzan Kibutsuji had previously upheld, unlike Zero, who, under the threat of death, went from extreme fear to extreme initiative and went all out.

Especially the jade pot—where are there so many artists to turn it into a ghost?

To date, he has only gained a handful of companions.

"Damn, damn, damn, damn!"

Hiding in a hunter's house in the mountains, looking at the dilapidated little house, and thinking of the luxurious life she had lived in the red-light district, Daki was on the verge of tears.

She dropped the half-eaten hunter's food and burst into tears in front of Gyutaro.

"Brother! I don't want to die!"

They were doing well in the red-light district, but they turned many courtesans and prostitutes into cannibalistic monsters.

The red-light district was originally a place that was outwardly bright and bustling, but inwardly filthy and dark; it was normal for a few people to go missing every day.

Unexpectedly, Otozumi and Tengen's three wives sneaked in.

With so many demons' tracks no longer able to be hidden as before, they were discovered immediately and reported to the Demon Slayer Corps.

Afterwards, the Demon Slayer Corps, in conjunction with the military, cleared out the entertainment district. All the demons they created were killed, with only two surviving.

In other words, in that person's eyes, they were probably useless people who had accomplished nothing!

Gyutaro sighed as he looked at his sister, who was showing a vulnerable side for the first time in over a hundred years.

"Time is of the essence. It's impossible to slowly transform humans into demons in secret without being killed by the adults. We'll sneak into villages or towns openly at night and turn humans into evil demons."

Gyutaro's Blood Demon Art can unleash blood-staining slashes like scythes.

If cutting is replaced with injection, it's like sending one's own blood into a human body, which can quickly and massively increase the number of cannibalistic monsters.

Yesterday, the Demon Slayer Corps attacked the entertainment district during the day.

The sun was high in the sky, and its scorching rays beat down on the earth, making them too afraid to fight the Demon Slayer Corps. They could only flee for their lives.

Gengetsu was also afraid that if he went too far, he might attract the attention of the Demon Slayer Corps' Pillars, so he mostly turned humans into demons in a clandestine manner.

But now, it seems that the lord can no longer tolerate them continuing like this.

……

It's time for the daily Mirror Light spell again.

The first thing to pay attention to on the summer solstice is the lingzhi.

After discovering that the demons he created could also create new demons, the Lower Moon, who would have been easily killed by Muzan Kibutsuji, finally had a breakthrough.

Using the town she had just conquered as her center, she had some newly converted ghosts, who looked like humans, disguise themselves as refugees and spread to the surrounding towns under the cover of darkness.

With guns and other firearms at their disposal, they quickly captured three more towns.

The number of cannibalistic monsters under Zero's command quickly exceeded ten thousand!

This number is no longer something that can be easily extinguished.

Moreover, under Zero's command, Oni completely abandoned his original nature of dividing up territory and fighting alone, and began to fight in a coordinated manner.

With the help of cannibalistic monsters transformed from Taisho soldiers, Zero began to implement militarized management, and with some success.

Like Zero, Upper Moon Five, Gyokko, also went all out.

This ghost can crawl out of the pot, and which household doesn't have several pots?
