Demon Slayer: From the Upper Ranks of Muzan

The old man was standing in front of him and asked.

"What's your name?"

A middle-aged man stood in front of him and asked.

Shinye looked at him and said nothing.

"Don't you have one? Then I'll give you one. Shinye, your last name is the same as mine, Ryudoji Shinye, what do you think? From today on, you are my only disciple. Let's go, from today on we are no longer alone."

......

Shinye suddenly opened his eyes, and the scene in front of him was still the scene of the Eternal Paradise.

Swish~!

At this time, a white-haired girl appeared in front of him out of thin air. A closer look revealed that it was a ghost.

However, it was not Muzan who turned her into a ghost, but Shinye.

"You are dreaming." The girl said.

Shinye smiled: "What are you talking about? How can a ghost dream?"

"You said that dreams are the manifestation of memories deep in the soul. As long as a creature has its own will, it will dream." The girl said.

Shinye grinned and said: "Ah! That's right, but Muzan and his subordinates don't dream. They only believe what is in front of them. They are only willing to believe what they know, and are unwilling to fantasize about the future."

As he said, he paused and looked at the girl: "Zero, where is the Demon Slayer Corps?"

Zero said: "Tonight, they should arrive at Black Water Town."

Shinye: "Where are the residents?"

Zero said: "They have all moved to the town next door."

"Well, that's good!" As he said, Shinye reached out and touched Zero's forehead.

After a few seconds, he let go, and a dark golden lightning pattern appeared in the palm of Shinye's hand, and disappeared from the palm a few seconds later.

Zero could clearly sense that the blood demon art in his body called [Thunder] was taken back by Shinye.

Instead, there is a blood demon art called [Wind Stop Water Binding].

"Use Wind Stop Water Binding to set up a barrier to surround the entire Black Water Town." Shinya said slowly.

Ling Yuzi looked up and said, "Yes, then what is the effect?"

Shinya thought for a while and said, "The effect is changed to suppress the appearance of the stripes. In addition, the weakening effect on the enemy is removed."

Ling Yuzi was stunned and said, "Excuse me, if it doesn't weaken, isn't it a bit careless?"

Shinya smiled and said, "If the opponent is too weak, it will be meaningless. The momentum of this battle is too big, and Muzan already knows it. In other words, no matter what, the battle with the Demon Slayer Corps must be fought. But..."

"But?" Ling Yuzi was a little confused.

Shinya didn't say anything else. In fact, what he wanted to say was that he just had to think about how to let him go.

When Yaoya selected the generals, he should have recommended Xingmei from Beiming Island. At least when Xingmei came, he had a reason to let him go.

After all, Boss Xia has seen Xingming's strength, and running away is not a problem.

But who is coming?

Rengoku Makijuro, a Flame Pillar who has been decadent for half a year.

Uzui Tengen, a Sound Pillar who has just taken office for less than two months.

There are also dozens of non-pillar members who can hardly play any role.

If they say that their strength is enough to escape in front of Shinya, Shinya himself doesn't believe it, let alone Boss Xia.

At that time, Boss Xia lets me enjoy Akaza's punishment package, which I really can't stand.

The main thing is that Boss Xia can't punish me now, but he still thinks he can.

So when Boss Xia punishes me, Shinya must act realistically and well.

Everything is to keep Boss Xia in the dark.

So Shinya has made all preparations. The first thing is to change the effect of Wind and Water Binding to suppress the appearance of the mark.

To prevent the demon slayer from opening the mark during the fight and dying young.

Since he was freed from Muzan's control, Shinya began to madly improve his proficiency in the Wind and Water Binding.

Today, the Wind and Water Binding is no longer the money-saving field it once was.

Now, whether it is weakened or strengthened, the Wind and Water Binding is controlled by Shinya.

Not only that, Shinya can also control the Wind and Water Binding to be applied to a certain person, and can suppress his special abilities such as stripes and blood demon arts.

This is why, when he helped Akaza regain his memory last time, Shinya could also suppress Muzan's cells in Akaza's body.

It's just that because of the huge gap in strength, it can only be suppressed temporarily.

The current situation is that Muzan has no control over Shinya, but because of the substitute, Muzan thinks he can still control Shinya,

Shin

It is also for the convenience of backstabbing in the future and for the convenience of letting the Demon Slayer Corps off that he continues to stay under Muzan.

The current situation is that Shinya has many skills, and the Wind and Water Binding can greatly weaken the opponent's strength.

Muzan has almost no skills and can only whip.

It seems that Shinya is no longer afraid of Muzan.

The only problem is that the panel of the trash boss is a little bit stronger than Shinya.

The bodies of the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps are as fragile as paper to the trash boss.

And Shinya is just a thicker cardboard.

In fact, if we only talk about meat, then Shinya is undoubtedly the meatiest one among the twelve demon moons, even Kokushibo can't compare.

What Shinya lacks is actually the ability to output.

In terms of attack ability, the five initial breathing methods are actually a little lacking compared to Kokushibo's Moon Breathing.

And Shinya's four blood demon arts are actually not of the attack type.

Although the ice spell obtained from Douma is offensive, it is more reflected in control and negative states rather than direct attack capabilities against the enemy.

Of course, this is only with Kokushibobi.

A red-eyed crow is standing on the highest clock tower in Kuroshi Town.

And Shinya, through the eyes of the crow, looked at the people of the Demon Slayer Corps and walked into Kuroshi Town.

"It's so strange, there is no one in the town, which is completely different from what we have seen since entering Sanin County." Rengoku Makijuro walked in front, looking solemnly.

Since entering Sanin County, what they have seen is simply a paradise.

Whether it is farmers, workers, police, lawyers, or doctors, they can find their own place in society, and their faces are full of hope for the future.

There is only one kind of people who live in pain here, and that is the former tyrants.

Here, teachers have a high status because they teach children to read and write.

Doctors have a high status because they save lives and heal the wounded.

The status of the police is also high because they protect everyone's safety.

The people here hate war, despise those who plunder others' things by despicable means, and look down on those in power who drag innocent people into war for their own ambitions.

Therefore, this place seems out of tune with the outside world, like a paradise.

Coming here, Makijuro seems to understand something.

Whether there are ghosts here is secondary. The most fundamental reason why the government doesn't like Shanyin County is that the folk customs here are incompatible with other places, and the people here don't obey the government.

More importantly, the rulers here oppose the government's external expansion.

The government has sent troops here many times but returned in defeat, and several times almost the entire army was wiped out.

It seems that ghosts are not important.

Outside Shanyin County, there are evil ghosts eating people everywhere, and the government does not seem to pay attention to it.

The hunter troops are as dilapidated as before.

On the contrary, it is in Shanyin County that the government has broken its defense.

In fact, to put it bluntly, opposing the launch of a war is the pain point of the government.

Therefore, the government commissioned the Ubuyashiki clan, who also opposed the war but had to cooperate with the government due to practical problems, to send the Demon Slayer Corps, hoping that both sides would suffer losses.

The other members also saw this. Most of the members of the Demon Slayer Corps were from poor families. Seeing the situation in Sanin County, they were naturally reluctant to regard the rulers of Sanin as enemies.

With such a mentality to carry out the mission, morale would naturally not be high.

Until entering Heishui Town, the atmosphere here made everyone's nerves tense.

The town was empty, and even the infrastructure was emptied, as if it was specially vacated to welcome their battlefield.

"Ice Condensation Spell·Gushan Absolute Cold!"

A large amount of frost rushed towards the Demon Slayer Corps, and in an instant, dozens of people were completely covered.

In an instant, the frost spread outward with the Demon Slayer Corps as the center, quickly freezing the entire Heishui Town.

The whole town has now become a kingdom of ice.

Before countless Demon Slayers were frozen, they still had expressions of fear on their faces.

"Originally, there is no need to show up for such a small matter, but I sent Liu to Hokkaido, so..." Shinya appeared in front of the ice sculptures of the Demon Slayer Corps and said slowly: "I'm sorry, everyone in the Demon Slayer Corps, I'm not as gentle as Liu and will not show mercy to you."
