Demon Slayer: From the Upper Ranks of Muzan

The smell of blood filled the air, irritating Shinya's nasal cavity.

At some point, Shinya finally woke up.

"Hu... cough cough cough... cough cough cough..." The violent coughing made his lungs seem to be coughed out.

His abdomen and chest had been pierced by the sword, but the blood did not flow out, and the wounds stopped worsening.

The smell of blood and the smell of rotting corpses mixed together, and countless corpses piled up into a mountain.

[Ding, the system detects that the host has become a ghost, awakening the ultimate life system. This system is designed to help the host become a true QQ life. Because the host activated the system, a novice gift package is given first, which contains a mental substitute and a chance to awaken the blood demon art.

[Mental substitute: You can create a substitute in your own mind. The host can engrave memories on the substitute to deceive all types of mind-reading detection (for example, the mind-reading and visual sharing of the demon king Muzan)]

[Vampire art awakening: It can help the host awaken the blood demon art (this reward only helps the host activate the blood demon art, not to give the blood demon art, which the host itself possesses. If the host's qualifications are not enough to awaken the blood demon art, it will be changed to enhance the basic panel)]

"I gave you a lot of blood, you should not need to eat for a long time." A voice sounded behind him.

Shinya turned his head and saw that the other party was wearing a purple snake-patterned horse hakama, a dark red long sideburns and a high ponytail, and a somewhat weird sword hanging around his waist.

The most terrifying thing is that he has six eyes, with red sclera and golden irises.

Even though he was mentally prepared, Shinya was still shocked when he saw this face.

He had an impression of this face. This was the villain in an anime he had watched in his previous life, Tsugakugo Iwakatsu.

No, he should be called Kokushibo now.

That's right, Shinya is a time traveler, his full name is Ryudoji Shinya.

He had long forgotten his name in his previous life. After all, he had lived in this world for more than 20 years, and he had only lived for more than 20 years in his previous life.

When he traveled through time, he was the stepson of the Demon Slayer Corps's Sound Pillar.

When he heard the three words "Demon Slayer Corps", he knew that he had traveled to the world of the Blade of the Group Annihilation.

The good news is that he is very familiar with the plot of this anime, and has watched the animation and comics many times.

It can be said that he is very familiar with the plot and settings.

The bad news is that it is now the eleventh year of Kansei.

There are still 113 years before the plot begins.

Fortunately, he has a very good talent. Since he was picked up by the Sound Pillar at the age of eight, he has become an excellent swordsman who can rival the Pillar in more than ten years. It can be said that in actual combat, he is not weaker than the Sound Pillar.

His attainment in Thunder Breathing is close to the peak level.

Such a genius is naturally trained as a key figure in the Demon Slayer Corps.

A month ago, the Sound Pillar died of illness at the age of 67.

Shinya is not sad about this, after all, in the Demon Slayer Corps, dying of old age is considered a good thing.

In his more than ten years of career in the Demon Slayer Corps, Shinya has seen too many children who died at the age of 14 or 15 at the claws of evil spirits.

Having lived two lives, Shinya was 27 years old before he traveled through time. Looking at the young members of the Demon Slayer Corps, Shinya is just like looking at his juniors.

Originally, he was about to inherit the title of Sound Pillar and continue to fight demons until he died of old age.

Unexpectedly, fate played tricks on him.

After fighting demons for 20 years, Shinya is naturally not the kind of rookie who is afraid of demons.

Not to mention that the demon boss Muzan Kibutsuji is a scumbag boss, and Shinya has no intention of being loyal to him.

My boss treats me so well, with high salary, high welfare and regular psychological counseling.

If I have any troubles, my boss will listen to me nagging for an entire afternoon.

That's it, what can your scum boss compare with?

The only tempting immortality is also at the cost of being controlled by the scum boss and not being able to see the light.

Becoming a ghost will extend your life indefinitely.

I don't know how long the life span is, but I only know that there are no ghosts who die of old age.

However, after becoming a ghost, you must hide during the day and go out at night. There is also a complete jungle law between ghosts, and there is almost no trust relationship.

And your life and death are all decided by the scum boss.

From then on, you can only eat raw meat and drink blood. No matter what kind of food in the world, it will be bland and tasteless in the mouth of a ghost.

Under this premise, is immortality a temptation? That's called serving a sentence.

Not to mention that countless of his colleagues died at the hands of evil ghosts, and he should be irreconcilable with evil ghosts.

.

Thinking of this, Shinya was even more furious, and he drew his sword and rushed towards Kokushibo.

"Huh?" Kokushibo was shocked when he saw Shinya rushing towards him.

He didn't expect that Shinya would still hesitate to fight with his sword after seeing his terrifying strength, and he didn't expect that Shinya would adapt to Muzan Kibutsuji's blood so quickly.

Ding~!

The two swords collided with each other, bursting out dazzling sparks.

"Yuan Lei!"

The tip of the sword with dark golden lightning stabbed at Kokushibo.

Puff~!

The sword flashed in an instant, and Shinya was instantly cut into three pieces.

The pain hit his nerves and almost made him faint again.

Kokushibo touched the wound on his face with some surprise. He was actually injured by a rookie who had just become a demon.

When Kokushibo was stunned, Shinya grew a body again.

Because he received a lot of blood, Shinya's strength increased dramatically after adapting.

You know, just a few minutes ago, he and a dozen teammates besieged Kokushibo, but he didn't even see Kokushibo's sword.

"Thunder Breathing·One Form·Thunderbolt Flash!"

The dark golden lightning, with thunder, instantly arrived in front of Kokushibo, and slashed at his neck.

This time, Kokushibo's sword was not unsheathed, and he directly pressed Shinya's wrist.

"With such a gap, you still have the courage to attack me, and you can adapt so quickly. No wonder Lord Muzan would take a fancy to you." After Kokushibo finished speaking, he casually threw Shinya behind him.

Thum....

Accompanied by the sound of the pipa, Shinya fell into a space.

Shinya was naturally very familiar with this space.

Different space, infinite city.

In other words, I should meet the trash boss.

Thinking of this, Shinya didn't dare to neglect it. He immediately activated the substitute in his mind and blocked important information such as being a time traveler and knowing the plot.

"Everyone, let's welcome the arrival of new companions." Standing at the highest point, an elegant man said softly.

Needless to say, the man is naturally the legendary ancestor of demons, Muzan Kibutsuji.

"Since that generation, this is the first time I have seen such a genius in the Demon Slayer Corps." The boss looked at Shinya with admiration.

Indeed, since Tsugakuin Yoshiichi developed the breathing method and became the strongest generation of Demon Slayer Corps, the subsequent Demon Slayer Corps has been inferior to the previous generation.

Although it is much stronger than the Demon Slayer Corps before Tsugakuin Yoshiichi, the initial generation of breathing swordsmen is really incomparable.

And Shinya's talent, even in that generation, is very dazzling.

This is the judgment of Kokushibo, the former breathing swordsman, one of the upper strings.

At this time, Shinya felt a sharp pain in his eyes, and immediately covered his eyes and screamed.

Shinye's eyes began to change, the originally black pupils turned dark gold, and words appeared in his eyes.

The left eye is "Upper String", and the right eye is "Six String"

"We just experienced a bloody battle for replacement, and the Upper String Six is ​​vacant, so a new companion will take over." Muzan said.

Shinye looked up at Muzan, and no emotion could be seen in his eyes.

There was neither anger nor gratitude.

But Muzan knew that Shinye hated and was unwilling to do so.

This was of course the role of the stand, and Shinye conveyed his hatred for the ghost to Muzan without reservation.

And most importantly, his understanding of the plot and settings of the comics was hidden by Shinye.

Muzan expressed disdain for Shinye's thoughts.

What if you hate ghosts? You have become a ghost now, and the instinct of ghosts will disintegrate reason.

One day, Shinye will follow the guidance of instinct and stand on his side.

And Shinye, in his heart, also has his own plans.

Fighting Kokushibo was an impulse. If it was his old self, he might have fought to the death with Muzan.

But now it’s different. Muzan has no way of knowing his true inner thoughts.

In other words, he can definitely find a way to stab Muzan in the back.

Damn it, it’s only a hundred years, I can wait.
