"What?! It's obvious that Lian Zhu has never met that guy before!"
"What does Onibutsuji Muzan look like? Where have you seen him?"
"Have you ever fought? What abilities does he have?"
Hearing the name Kibutsuji Muzan, the "Hashira" present no longer cared about dealing with Nezuko and hurriedly asked Tanjiro.
Compared to Ghost Dance Tsuji Muzan, Nezuko, who is not even considered a ghost, seems a bit insignificant.
"That... that..."
Facing the "pillars"'s incessant inquiries, Tanjiro didn't know how to answer, looking weak, pitiful and helpless.
"OK!"
Seeing that Tanjiro was about to be ravaged by the "pillars", Suzuki Seimei suddenly shouted: "Don't press Tanjiro brother anymore. I know more detailed information about Kibutsuji Muzan than he does."
Hearing this, Butterfly Ninja and Kanroji Mitsuri were the first to approach him: "Seimei, do you really know the information about Kibutsuji Muzan?"
"Um!"
Suzuki Seimei nodded and said in a serious tone: "Actually, before I met Tanjiro-nii and the others, I had met Muzan Onibatsuji before."
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Ubuya Shiki Yaoya's expression suddenly changed.
When he first heard Suzuki Seimei say that he had seen Kibutsuji Muzan, Ubuyashiki Yōya was not too surprised.
Ubuyashiki Yōya had long known from Tamashi's letter that Suzuki Seimei and Nezuko were also present when Tanjiro and Kibutsuji Mu had a tragic encounter.
However, what Ubuyashiki Yōya didn't expect was that Suzuki Seimei had already had a miserable encounter with Mutsuji Kibutsuji before that.
"Where have you seen Muzan Kibutsuji? Have you ever fought? What are his abilities?"
Seeing Suzuki Seimei's sworn look, "Iwazhu" and the others couldn't help but gathered around him and asked him about Kibutsuji Mukai.
"The last time I met Kibutsuji Muzan was almost half a year ago."
Faced with the Butterfly Ninja's inquiry, Suzuki Seimei said half-truthfully: "I was traveling around at that time, and happened to pass by an unknown mountain village, and I met the Onibutsuji Muzan hidden in the village.
Muzu Onibutsuji found out that I was amazingly powerful, so he wanted to turn me into a ghost. Of course, I didn't want to become a cannibal who was afraid of sunlight and wanted to eat people, so I fought with him.
It's a pity that I didn't have any weapons at the time, so I lost to that guy in the end."
"You lost! Then why didn't you..."
Midway through her words, Ganluji Mili reacted immediately and covered her mouth in embarrassment.
Although Mitsuri Kanroji did not finish her words, everyone knew what she wanted to say, and they also cast doubtful glances at Suzuki Seimei.
Since Suzuki Seimei was defeated by Onimbutsuji Muzan, why wasn't he forcibly transformed into an ogre?
Suzuki Seimei said angrily: "Why are you all looking at me like this? I lost to Mukai Kibutsuji, but I just couldn't beat him, not that I couldn't outrun him!"
((′-_-)-_-)-_-)
After hearing Suzuki Seimei's explanation, everyone couldn't help but be speechless.
If someone else had said this, Butterfly Ninja and the others would definitely not believe it.
However, recalling the sword that Suzuki Seimei used to kill the "Sound Pillar" just now, the Butterfly Ninja and the others had to admit that his speed was indeed very fast, and it was not an exaggeration to be able to escape from Kibutsuji Mukai.
Butterfly Ninja opened her lips lightly and said, "Qingming, since you have fought against Muzan Kibutsuji, you should know what abilities he has, right?"
"Um……"
Suzuki Seimei thought for a while and said: "When I was fighting Muzan Kibutsuji, I discovered that his arms can turn into long whips with flesh thorns, and the attack range is also very wide, up to about ten meters.
In addition, tubes with bone spurs can appear on Kibutsuji Muzan's back and legs.
This kind of pipe is not only very sharp, but also attacks very quickly, so when fighting him in close combat, you need to be careful to guard against sneak attacks from these pipe whips.
Because when I was fighting Muzan Kibutsuji, I didn’t have a weapon in my hand that could threaten him, so I don’t know if he used all his strength?
By the way! When I met Muzan Kibutsuji, he looked like a little boy similar to me.
But last time Tanjiro-nii and I met the Onibatsuji Muzan in Tokyo, he was actually an adult man wearing a suit."
"It turns out that Oniitsuji Mumei can change his own appearance. No wonder we haven't been able to find traces of him for so many years."
After learning the news that Onibatsuji Muzan could change his appearance, the Butterfly Ninja's expressions became even more ugly.
Since Kibutsuji Mumei can change his appearance and form, trying to find him out of the vast sea of people is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Ubuyashiki Yōya suddenly asked: "Tanjiro, as far as I know Kibutsuji Muzan was disguised as a human and hiding in Tokyo. How did you find him in the crowd?"
"The smell! It's the smell!"
Tanjiro's face changed slightly, and he clenched his fists unconsciously and said: "When my mother and others were killed by ghosts, the same smell as Muzan Onimushuji remained in the house!"
Ubuyashiki Yōya said with a look of surprise on his face: "So, it's because you remembered the smell of Onibatsuji Muzan that he couldn't perfectly hide in the crowd, so he sent ghosts to chase you."
(￣ー￣)
When Suzuki Seimei heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
In fact, the reason why Onibatsuji Mukai sent ghosts to chase Tanjiro was just because of the Nichiwa earrings Tanjiro was wearing, not because he was worried about his identity being exposed.
However, Suzuki Seimei didn't mean to explain. It was a good thing for Tanjiro and Nezuko that Ubuyashiki Yōya and the others had such a misunderstanding.
To a certain extent, Tanjiro, who recorded the smell of Onibatsuji Muzan, is the humanoid radar searching for the Ghost King. His existence value is even higher than that of "Pillar".
The "Pillars" who originally wanted to execute Tanjiro and Nezuko couldn't help but have other thoughts in their minds.
Except for Immortal Kawa Saneya and Yinhei Kobanai, "Iwazhu" and the others have begun to hesitate whether to let Tanjiro and Nezuko go?
"My lord, I still can't accept it, letting ghosts become our companions!"
Immortal Kawakawa Saneya knelt on one knee and said: "If they are humans, it is okay to let them go, but ghosts absolutely cannot!"
In fact, Immortal Mikawa has already given in. What he just said means that he agrees to let Tanjiro and Tomioka Giyu go free for violating team rules.
But because of the tragic experience in his childhood, Immortal Kawa Saneya was unwilling to let Nezuko go.
