Demon Slayer: From the Upper Ranks of Muzan

The two of them were in a mess.

Just as Shimi was rushing towards the destination with the three little ones, something changed on Yunxiong's side.

These days, Yunxiong and several swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps have been exploring the terrain around this abandoned city and killing the ghosts that ran out of the city.

The reason why they didn't go in was to wait for Shimi to arrive.

Because it is rare for evil ghosts to gather in large numbers and the situation is too abnormal, Yunxiong did not dare to act rashly.

"Mist Breathing·One Type·Mist Scale Cloud Claw!"

Yunxiong held the sword with both hands and swung it vigorously, and the sword energy spread like mist.

All the evil ghosts covered by the mist had their blood gushing out instantly and mixed with the mist.

"Second Form: Spraying Clouds and Mist!"

With another swing, the sword energy hidden in the mist instantly chopped all the evil spirits into pieces of flesh.

When these pieces fell to the ground, they turned into ashes as if they were burned.

"Master Mist Pillar."

Several team members hurried forward and said, "You are worthy of being Master Yunxiong. Your swordsmanship is really exquisite."

Yunxiong smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment. Everyone has worked hard these days. Let's go back today. The Wind Pillar should be here soon."

"Yes!"

Puff~!

As soon as the voice fell, a team member was chopped into pieces without any warning.

The broken flesh and blood scattered all over the ground, and the bloody smell instantly spread.

This sudden change made the people around him unable to react.

Only Tokito Yunxiong, who was a pillar, had an extremely weak perception. He grabbed the team member in front of him with one hand and pulled him away, and drew his sword with the other hand and chopped him out instantly.

Ding~!

The sound of weapons colliding sounded, but Yun Xiong only saw a purple figure flash by and then landed behind him.

"Hmm? He was able to block my sword. This generation of pillars is really good."

The man looked at Yun Xiong and said slowly: "The overall quality should be better than my generation."

Yun Xiong turned and looked over, and six eyes were imprinted in Yun Xiong's pupils.

Kokushibo looked at Yun Xiong and said: "But my target is not you."

"One of the upper strings..."

Yun Xiong's face changed drastically, and he immediately said to several team members behind him: "Run, go back and report to the headquarters quickly, one of the upper strings has appeared."

Boom~!

Without any warning, the hillside next to the crowd suddenly collapsed, blocking their retreat.

Countless stones fell and buried several team members instantly.

Looking at Kokushibo again, his hand was on the hilt of the knife. It was obvious that the collapse of the hillside just now was caused by his slash.

However, Yun Xiong didn't see how the knife was drawn.

It wasn't that he didn't see it at all. He saw a flash of knife light in his peripheral vision.

But that was all. He could see it, but not much.

Suddenly, Yun Xiong's heart was alarmed, and he quickly held the Sun Wheel Sword in front of him.

Ding~!

A huge force came, and the Sun Wheel Sword almost made a move.

After retreating a few steps, Kokushibo stood in his previous position, with his right hand still on the hilt of the knife at his waist.

"Not bad!"

Kokushibo praised.

The next second, Kokushibo appeared beside Yun Xiong, grabbed his wrist holding the knife, and prepared to disarm him.

Yun Xiong felt the power on his wrist and knew that if he didn't let go, his hand would be useless.

He immediately let go of the Sun Wheel Sword, and then lay on the ground, grabbing a handful of soil and throwing it in front of Kokushibo.

Kokushibo has reached the transparent world. Although such a trick can block his sight, it can't block his perception.

Therefore, he can sense every move of Yun Xiong.

However, this fighting style did make him stunned for a moment.

At this moment, Yun Xiong caught the falling Sun Blade and slashed at Kokushibo at an extremely tricky angle.

"Mist Breathing·Three Types·Light Cloud!"

Three slashes were made in an instant, and the seemingly light slashes attacked Kokushibo's three blind spots respectively.

Kokushibo took a half step back, and this time he officially drew his sword.

A casual slash instantly resolved Yun Xiong's slash.

Then, another slash was made at Yun Xiong.

Ding~!

Puff~!

One sound was the sound of the Sun Blade blocking the slash, and the other was the sound of blood spurting from the wound.

Yun Xiong instinctively raised the Sun Blade and used his sword skills to offset Kokushibo's slash to the greatest extent.

However, the remaining slash still cut a very deep wound on his chest, almost injuring his internal organs.

"No... Impossible, I can't see it at all." Yun Xiong stared at Kokushibo.

, blood continued to flow from the corner of his mouth.

From his perspective, he could only see that Kokushibo leaned forward slightly, and was able to block it completely by instinct.

"Mist Breathing·Fourth Type..."

Puff~!

Before he could use his new sword skills, Kokushibo kicked Yunxiong to the side of a dead tree.

Then he picked up Yunxiong's Sun Wheel Sword and instantly pierced his collarbone, nailing him to the tree.

"Ahhh!!!!"

The intense pain made Yunxiong scream.

"Farewell, my descendants!"

Kokushibo looked at Yunxiong, sighed, and slowly pulled out the Hollow God of Crying from his waist.

Rumble....

The roar came from a distance, and the sound made Kokushibo stunned.

While he was stunned, an iron lump soared into the sky and appeared in Kokushibo's sight.

"Ah!!!!!!!"

Three figures screamed and fell from the sky, falling towards Yunxiong.

"What is that...?" Kokushibo looked confused.

"Breath of the Wind·First Form·Dust Whirlwind Slash!"

Shimi descended from the sky with a gust of wind, and swooped down to Kokushibo.

This speed made Kokushibo stunned, and this speed was completely different from Yunxiong just now.

"Breath of the Moon·First Form·Dark Moon·Palace of the Night!"

The two sword energies collided, and a violent gust of wind instantly swept the entire venue.

When the gust of wind dissipated, Shimi looked at the team members who were buried alive under the ruins, and his face was extremely ugly.

"It's really ugly, Brother Yunxiong!" Shimi said with his back to Yunxiong.

Yun Xiong smiled bitterly and said, "Ah! Sorry, the gap in strength is too big."

Shimi said loudly, "You three, put down the Mist Pillar, and then go find out if there are any survivors."

"Yes!" The three little ones did not dare to neglect and did it immediately.

Shimi took a stance and said, "I won't say anything to ask you to retreat first. As a pillar, you should fight to the death now, at least for the three little ghosts next to you. Before you finish the emergency treatment, I will help you delay time. When you recover your combat ability, if I am not dead yet, let's fight side by side."

Shimi could feel that the Kokushibo in front of him was more dangerous than any opponent he had ever encountered.

He obviously couldn't feel anything, as if he was just an ordinary person, but the murderous intent that was almost forming a substance made Shimi palpitate.

One of the upper strings, the strongest of the Twelve Demon Moons, the demon second only to the ancestor of demons, Muzan Kibutsuji.

Kokushibo looked at Sane with interest, carrying the knife on his shoulder: "What's wrong? Don't you want to attack? Or are you waiting for me to attack?"

"Humph! I didn't expect you to be so talkative." Sane grinned and said, "Seeing how ugly you are, I thought you were a person who was so inferior that you were taciturn! By the way, you don't think you can intimidate the enemy with this look, do you?"

Kokushibo looked interested, and was not in a hurry to attack.

Sane saw that the provocation was ineffective, so he could only launch an attack first.

The Sun Wheel Sword, with a green sword energy, slashed at Kokushibo frantically.

Kokushibo calmly fought and retreated, and easily dissolved Sane's sword energy.

"What's wrong? Don't you need your moves?"

Kokushibo casually slashed the sword energy with a knife, and said.

"Wind Breathing·One Form·Dust Whirlwind·Slashing!"

A strong wind suddenly blew around Sane, and the whole person rushed towards Kokushibo like a whirlwind.

Ding~!

This time, Kokushibo stood firm, held the hilt with both hands, and cut off Shimizu's body with one slash, dissolving the One Form of Breathing of Wind.

Then he slashed at Shimizu's neck with a backhand.

Shimizu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly leaned back to avoid it.

However, his face was still cut by the blade of the Kūkushin. Blood was spilled.

"Hmm? Good reaction, I wanted to behead you, but I didn't expect..."

Before he finished speaking, a fragrance entered his nose, and Kokushibo was stunned for a moment.

This daze lasted only a moment, but in just a moment, Shimizu had already rushed in front of Kokushibo.

Shimizu held the knife with his backhand and made a gesture of drawing the knife.

The strong wind gathered on the blade, forming a wind blade under the high-speed flow, and the friction with the air made a harsh sound.

Kokushibo instinctively felt the danger of this move for a moment and wanted to retreat.

No, a pool of blood splashed on his face.

"Oh no, thin blood!"

He forced himself to cheer up and raised his knife to resist.

Fortunately, with the suppression of the transparent world, Shimi's actions could not escape Kokushibo's perception.

But because he was confused by Shimi's blood, his movements were far less agile than usual.

"Go to hell!" Shimi grinned.

"All quiet!"
