Demon Slayer: Tanjuro Kamado returns from Sekiro

Chapter 155 - I am not Yuichi Tsugikoku
night.

Moonlight shines through the clouds.

Rumble——! !

A roar came from the ground, the ground shook violently, and the sounds of countless tree trunks breaking and collapsing were heard.

“…What’s going on?!”

Muzan felt the violent shaking around him, and his anger instantly calmed down. The uneasiness in his heart made him look around vigilantly.

He took a step back, turned his head, and subconsciously glanced in the direction of escape behind him.

When he saw the extremely familiar wooden house of the Kamado family not far behind him, his eyes trembled.

The few pillars standing opposite did not look panicked at all, as if they had known about the current situation for a long time.

"It's a very gorgeous appearance."

click!
Uzui Tengen stood up, took a deep breath, and casually placed his two swords on his shoulders. He looked up at the dark clouds in the sky and whispered:

"Tanjuro Kamado."

next moment.

Behind the pillars.

boom! ! !
Dust that covered the sky and the sun suddenly rose from the mountainside! A huge shadow rose from the ground and instantly covered the entire mountain from the mountainside!

Dust slowly rose up, carrying with it the buildings that were constantly being pulled out of the ground, leaving several wisps of smoke in the dark night sky.

The rubble and dust flew everywhere and landed in the surrounding forest.

wow——

A sudden gust of wind from high above blew away the gray smoke at the top, revealing a huge monster hidden in the dust under the moonlight.

"What?!" Wuzan turned his head in doubt and looked up at the top of the palace not far away that looked like another mountain. He muttered to himself in surprise:

"No... How is this possible..."

The scarlet pupils trembled slightly, and the building that blocked half of the moon was reflected in it.

——That is the entire Infinite City.

Muzan's mouth opened slightly and trembled slightly.

And standing on the top of the Infinite City, there are several figures.

The figure in the lead had one hand on the head of the girl sitting cross-legged in front of him, but his eyes were looking around.

Sudden.

He turned his head and lowered it, and the Hanafuda earrings hanging on his ears collided with each other, making a crisp wooden sound.

His eyes happened to meet Muzan, who was looking up in horror.

"Found it." Kamado Tanjuro's eyes were calm, but his free hand slowly placed on the Undying Sword at his waist:

"——Muzan."

"Ah!!" Muzan, who was standing on the ground, subconsciously took two steps back. Although the distance was far, he felt waves of chills.

The momentum he had just had to kill all the pillars tonight was gone. He gritted his teeth and stared at the huge monster in the distance in disbelief.

Not long ago, he also ordered Naruto to completely destroy the Infinite Castle - in order to bury the rest of the Demon Slayer Corps underground.

And now.

Infinite City is not only intact.

And it appeared directly on the surface!

Muzan stared at Mingnu, whose head was pinched by Tanjuro, with his eyes wide open.

——Another rebellion?!
……

……

Not a rebellion.

Tanjuro Kamado inserted his fingers into Mingnu's temple, and bright red blood flowed out through his fingers, and blue-purple light continued to overflow.

A thin line of blood on her neck was very eye-catching.

Mingnu is dead.

But her hand was still on the pipa, and she was trembling as she controlled the movements of the Infinite City.

A faint blue-purple light reflected in Mingnu's huge single eye, and the word "魁" could be vaguely seen flashing.

——Ninjutsu and puppetry.

This is the wolf's ninjutsu. After killing the enemy, it can temporarily change the enemy's cognition and turn the enemy into a friend.

puff!

Tanjuro loosened his fingers and shook off the blood.

next moment.

sand…

Mingnu lowered her head, and her legs, which were sitting cross-legged, gradually began to turn into ashes.

But the maintenance time is limited. In the Sekiro world, it can only be maintained for about 4 minutes at most. The person who is hit by the technique will be unable to move or die due to excessive blood loss.

But now, it seems to be because of the different physique of the ghost.

As long as Tanjuro releases his controlling hand, the demon will enter a state of death.

Tanjuro looked away.

Looking down at the towering Infinite Castle, Muzan has been forced into a desperate situation.

Chi! The Immortal Slash was slowly pulled out from its sheath.

At this time.

Swish!

Several figures jumped down from the Infinite City before him.

The first to be hit was the ghost in a small jacket.

“No—miserable!!”

The corners of Komaji's mouth were raised ferociously, his golden eyes were full of confidence, and he clenched his fists.

He landed on the ground with a thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Subsequently.

The pink hair swayed slightly, Komaji raised his head, and pushed the ground hard with his feet!

whoosh-

It turned into an afterimage and rushed straight towards Muzan!
Without waiting for others to react.

boom! !

Komaji slammed into Muzan

A huge cloud of dust instantly rose in the direction of Muzan.

At this time.

With a click, a purple-black snake-patterned haori stepped out from the dark woods on the other side.
"Aiwo... Komaji, don't be impatient." Jiguo Yansheng stepped out slowly, and the forked blade in his hand was unsheathed.

Under the moonlight, the six eyes that opened at the same time again looked so abrupt:

"Muzan Kibutsuji... is definitely not your opponent."

at the same time.

In the middle of the battlefield.

The smoke cleared.

"It's so hard!" Komaji's fist was grabbed. His arm was shaking and veins on his temples were bulging, but he couldn't pull his fist out of Muzan's hand.

He clicked his tongue.

Without any choice.

puff!

Komaji tightened his abdomen, and his whole body suddenly flew into the air, twisting his arm violently and breaking it!

Then he took two big jumps and easily returned to Jiguo Yansheng's side and squatted down.

The muscles of the straightened broken arm were tensed, and a new arm grew out with a "whoosh".

boom!
Two more sounds of things falling came from one side.

The pillars heard the sound and looked over.

“Namo…” Beimingyu Xingming waved the meteor hammer in his hand, tears in his eyes, and clasped his hands together.

Standing next to him was Rengoku Makijuro, who was trying to adjust his breathing.

At this point, all seven pillars are in place.

opposite.

Wuzan's calm but trembling voice sounded:

"I've had enough."

Muzan stood in place, his eyes never stayed on Komaji from beginning to end, but he looked at Tanjuro on top of the Infinite Castle with trembling.

To be more precise, he was looking at the moon behind Tanjuro.

——Tsugukuni Yoriichi’s figure was too eye-catching, and even when Muzan looked at him directly, he felt a pain in his brow.

He held Akaza's broken arm in one hand and threw it aside.

The current scene is reflected in the scarlet eyes.

The former Upper Ranks One and Three who had rebelled were now standing on his left.

The seven human pillars stood on the other side of the encirclement.

In fact, without the pillar with the spotted red sword and the two upper ranks, such a lineup would not be able to kill him at all.

Therefore, the Pillars only surrounded Muzan, merely acting as a "restraint belt" before execution.

The one who actually holds the knife and carries out the execution...

It was the person standing on the top of the Infinite Castle, looking down at him under the moonlight right in front of him—Yoriichi Tsugikoku.

Wuzan felt numb.

For 400 years since the Warring States Period, all he had done was to survive.

As for the period before the Warring States Period... before that, he had never thought that there would be a human being who could threaten his life.

"Humph, none of them are useful."

He raised his head and glanced at the people in front of him, especially looking at Tsugukuni Iwakatsu and Komaharu:
"The Demon Slayer Corps... a group of lunatics who will stop at nothing to exact revenge."

"Nowadays, they can even do things like cooperating with demons - it makes me sick." Wuzan's tone was cold, but a barely detectable drop of sweat slid down his cheek, revealing his true thoughts at the moment.

He wants to live!
He was already in a dead end as he was surrounded, not to mention that he couldn't split himself into pieces and escape at this moment.

Since it is impossible to split on its own, then——

Behind Muzan, where no one could see, a huge mouth opened on his back.

——Pfft!
He bit himself, squirming and trying to tear off a piece of living flesh!
As long as this piece of flesh and blood successfully separates from the main body, and buries it in the soil during the chaos, and drills into the ground!

He has a chance to survive!
In order to cover up this detail, Muzan shouted loudly to Tanjuro at the top of the Infinite Castle:

"And you, Tsugikoku Yoriichi!"

He pointed at Tanjuro, his chest heaving violently twice. Looking at the blurry familiar figure in his vision, Muzan couldn't help but feel emotional.

His throat moved up and down twice, and the words on the tip of his tongue froze. In the end, he could only squeeze out a few syllables from his throat:

"Why…"

Wuzan has too many questions.

In the era after the Warring States Period, Muzan understood through communication with Kokushibo that the breathing techniques and markings in the Demon Slayer Corps were all brought by Yoriichi.

So much so that when Muzan looked at the swordsman who used the breathing technique afterwards, he could vaguely see some shadow of Yoriichi Tsugikuni in him.

The fact that he single-handedly raised the combat effectiveness of the Demon Slayer Corps is incredible in itself.

Why——how could mere humans be so powerful?

Why——the knife wound on my body has not healed yet...

Why--

"——You are still alive till now!!"

Wuzan's eyes widened. For the first time, he raised his head with great anger and looked directly at the man on the Infinite City. This was what he wanted to say the most:
"Four hundred years! The endless entanglement of ghosts..."

Before Wuzan could finish his words.

In his sight, the figure standing on the top of Infinite City suddenly disappeared!

Swish! !

A strong gust of wind suddenly hit Muzan without warning, interrupting his words!

Without waiting for Wuzhan to react.

tread!
Tanjuro Kamado stepped on the ground, and he appeared in front of Muzan almost instantly, with both hands tightly grasping the hilt of the sword "Fuzuzan".

He leaned forward slightly to gather his strength, and looked up at Wuzan with gloomy eyes.

Red and black flames gradually ignited on the blade of the Immortal Slash.

in vivo.

Wow——!
All the resurrection power that Tanjuro had previously accumulated was instantly burned out!
A tremendous amount of life force poured into his torso.

"Hiss!" The corners of his mouth opened slightly, and high-temperature white steam came out from both sides.

"Go to hell."

Tanjuro's extremely calm voice sounded.

【Breath of the Sun】

The series of actions happened almost in an instant.

【Type Thirteen】

“…Hooa ...

Muzan had no time to react at all. He almost subconsciously leaned back, his pupils suddenly shrank into a point, and he stretched out his hand to block the impending attack.

All the muscles in the body tense subconsciously!

The bone whip behind him suddenly lost its mind, wrapped around Muzan's arms, and turned into two powerful whips!

Whoosh! !

Suddenly he pulled towards Tanjuro who was close at hand!
next moment.

Tanjuro's arms tensed.

Creak...The handle of the Undead Slash sword made a sound when it was clenched.

He has all the resurrection power of Rankong and the vitality of several upper-rank demons. At this moment, his physical condition is infinitely close to that of Yoshiichirō 400 years ago, and even surpasses it.

Swish!
He swung his arms in a circle, and the Undead Slash drew a perfect semicircle in front of him without any hindrance!

The black and red flaming sword light pierced through Muzan's whip.

When the force is sufficient - there is no need to rebound!

puff!

Cut it off cleanly and neatly!
Blood splattered, and with two snaps, two hideous flesh whips struggled and twisted, rolling to the ground, flapping their bodies.

"Puff! Ah!" Blood spurted out of Muzan's arms. He looked left and right and found that his arms could not regenerate at all!
He could only open his mouth and let the blood gush out of his body.

It seemed that because it was the first time he swung the sword so quickly, Tanjuro even found it difficult to adapt to such a light body for a moment.

After a brief moment of silence.

Tanjuro raised his head and observed with extremely clear consciousness the several brains and hearts swimming slowly inside Muzan's body.

next moment.

Tanjuro took a deep breath.

Swish!
The whole person instantly turned into a shadow on the spot.

Muzan, who was struggling and twisting, also stopped moving at the same moment.

then.

It was like a gentle breeze blowing across Wuzhan's tattered body.

pat.

Tanjuro, with blood on his body, passed through Muzan and landed behind Muzan.

The long sword was as convenient as a short blade in his hand. Tanjuro swung the blade casually to shake off the blood on it.

He let out a long breath and slowly straightened up.

With his back to Wuzan.

The blade of the Immortal Slash in his hand is facing downwards.

Aim at the ground.

puff!

Insert the front part of the Undead Slash into the ground.

next moment.

“Aaaaaaaah!!” Muzan, who had not reacted at all, suddenly cried out in excruciating pain. He struggled to turn his broken body around and turned around:

"you…!!"

The whites of his eyes were soaked in blood, and Muzan clenched his teeth tightly. His sharp teeth gradually began to turn into ashes. He stared at Tanjuro's back.

in view.

The front end of the Undead Slash blade just happened to pierce a piece of flesh that was constantly twisting and struggling.

——That was the last hope of his escape when he bit it hard just now! !

then.

Swish swish! !

As if delayed, several sword lights wrapped in red flames quickly flashed across Muzan's body.

thump!
"Cough!" Muzan curled up his broken hand and kept trying to touch his neck. He knelt on the ground helplessly, and neat lines of blood began to appear on his body.

The Breath of the Sun performed by the Undying Slash completely passed through his body in the previous moment!
Muzan's eyes trembled, and he almost felt that he was going to die in the next moment.

--die?!
no no!
He looked at Tanjuro who had his back to him, and squeezed out a few syllables from his hoarse throat:
“Tsugikoku…Yoriichi…! Bastard…!”

The instinct for survival makes Wuzan desire any fresh flesh and blood.

Hear the miserable voice.

Tanjuro slowly turned his head and walked towards Muzan.

“…No misery.” He said:
"I am not Yoriichi Tsugikoku."

Upon hearing this, Muzan was stunned, as if unable to understand Tanjuro's casual words.

But the next moment, he understood.

Tread, step.

Tanjuro walked slowly to Muzan, leaned down, and looked into Muzan's eyes as he half-knelt to support his body:
“…My name is Tanjuro Kamado.” He narrated calmly, his dark red eyes reflecting Muzan’s frightened and embarrassed expression with great calmness.

pat.

He stretched out his hand, gently placed it on the top of Muzan's head, who was trying to support his body, and grabbed his black curly hair:
"The one you wanted to see, Yoriichi Tsugikoku, is here."

Puff! With a squeeze of his palm, blood immediately flowed out from between Tanjuro's fingers!

【Ninjutsu】

【Battle Memory: Tsugumi Yoriichi】

then.

Muzan's pupils gradually dilated.

He froze in disbelief, no longer caring about the injuries on his body that were gradually turning to ashes.

An ancient scroll appeared in Muzan’s blackened vision.

The following words were clearly written on it:

[Do you want to challenge the rare strong man, Yuichi Tsugukuni?]

There was no misery and he was stunned.

Although he couldn't understand what this meant at the moment, he could still understand the words "challenge" and "Yonichi Tsugukuni".

He quickly looked towards the next row, as if hoping to find some life-saving straw.

There is a button floating on the left that says:

【Yes】

Wuzan’s pupils quickly moved to the right!
The button on the right says:

【Sure】

After a moment of silence.

A sharp explosion came from Muzan's heart.
