The woman on the side looked at the suddenly dazed Kibutsuji Mukai with some worry.
"No, it's nothing. I just have a headache thinking about working at night."
An ugly smile appeared on Ghost Dance Tsuji Muzan's face, and he led the woman and little girl away at a faster pace.
He felt a little irritable in his heart, and his pace quickened. He obviously wanted to walk faster, but he had to match the pace of the woman next to him.
This made him want to tear the woman next to him to pieces immediately and then send someone to deal with the young man just now.
But he can't.
"No need...no need...just an ordinary boy, just a coincidence..."
The expression on Ghost Dance Tsuji Muzan's face quickly returned to normal.
He kept comforting himself, convincing himself that there was no need to spoil the 'big plan' for an unexpected human being.
This woman's family is quite useful to him, and he can't destroy it just because of a moment of anger.
For the current Demon Slayer Swordsman, it is necessary to disguise himself as a human being. Of course, it is not to avoid those weak Demon Slayer swordsmen. There are no swordsmen in the world today who can threaten him.
The purpose of his doing this was to use human power to find the 'blue Higanbana' that he had been searching for for a thousand years but could not find. After putting the woman and child into the car, he gently waved to the vehicle in the distance.
.
When the vehicle disappeared out of sight, the forced smile on Kibutsuji Muzan's face gradually solidified, and then became extremely cold as if covered with a layer of haze.
He turned around quietly and walked into a side alley.
"Tap tap tap..."
In the dark alley, there were some hollow footsteps.
Two men, one woman, and three figures with reddish faces and smell of alcohol coming towards Kibutsuji Muzan.
Oniwu Tsuji Mubai lowered the brim of his hat and continued walking deeper into the alley with an expressionless face.
"Snapped--"
As they passed each other, the hand of the drunken and dancing man touched the shoulder of Onimbutsuji Mumei.
"Sorry, I bumped into you..."
Unexpectedly, Kibutsuji Muzan apologized.
Because he has no time to pay attention to these stupid humans now, and just wants to send people to eliminate the young man he met just now.
The reason was simple. The earrings on the young man's ears and his appearance made him feel uneasy.
But the human beings in front of him once again made Oniitsuji Muzan feel the stupidity of human beings.
He wanted to apologize and leave, but a hand smelling of alcohol was put on his shoulder.
"It hurts! You guy! What do you mean?" The drunken man saw Kibutsuji Muzai apologizing and began to push further.
"I'm very sorry, I don't have time right now."
Kibutsuji Mumei apologized again. He suppressed the anger in his heart. They were just three ordinary human beings and posed no threat to him at all. He had better deal with the young man first and hold on tightly.
"Hey, hey, hey! You guy!"
The man still didn't intend to let go of Onibatsuji Muzan, and he began to feel indignation in his heart when he looked at the brightly dressed people.
"Hey, hey, hey! The clothes you are wearing must be worth a lot of money, right? I hate rich people the most~ It's not good to run away like this after hitting someone, isn't it? Rich people are amazing!? There's no color on their faces at all.
No, it looks like he will die in the next second!"
Kibutsuji Muzan listened to the man's words in silence. He remained unmoved at first, but after he heard the last sentence, the expression on his face suddenly turned ferocious.
"Snapped--"
He turned around and slapped the man hard on the face. The man's head was blown away and hit the wall of the alley, causing blood to burst out on the spot.
Onimbutsuji Muzan looked at the remaining two humans gloomily.
"What the hell! How dare you touch my brother!?" Another burly man saw his brother being slapped and flew to Kibutsuji Muzan. He looked down condescendingly at the thin and pale man in front of him.
man.
"Dear... dear! Your brother is dead!" The woman squatted down to look at the man who was slapped away in fear. Her face instantly turned pale, as if she had even woken up from alcohol.
But when she turned her head, she couldn't hear her husband's reply, because the tall body had been kicked into the air, fell to the ground and turned into a pulp.
"Snapped--"
Blood and flesh spattered on the woman's face, causing her whole body to fall into a daze of fear.
The pale man in front of her slowly approached, his cold breath blowing on her face.
"Do I look pale? Do I look frail? Do I look like I don't have much time left? I look like... I'm going to die in the next second, right?"
"Definitely..."
The woman's whole body was shaking, her teeth were clenched and she began to fight, unable to speak a word.
Oniwu Tsuji Muzan slowly put his hand on the woman's forehead, "I think you must have seen it wrong. I am a creature that is infinitely close to perfection. I... am eternal!"
"puff--"
In the woman's horrified eyes, the finger slowly penetrated into her eyebrow, causing her to scream in pain.
But her body that suddenly began to collapse prevented her from crying out.
Kibutsujimu retracted his fingers with a look of agony, looking down at the woman's body that had turned into a puddle of mud and had no trace of its original shape.
His blood can turn humans into ghosts, but if the amount of injection is too large, the human body will be unable to withstand the speed of mutation, causing the cells to completely collapse. The final result will be a useless puddle like now.
carrion.
"Snapped--"
He snapped his fingers gently, and the expression on his face became more and more gloomy.
He happened to meet a young man wearing Ji Guoyuan's earrings, and he met such a stupid person who cursed him to death. His mood instantly became extremely irritable, as if... the whole world was telling him to die.
Same!
After the snap of fingers, the two figures knelt respectfully and waited for his order.
"Sir, please give me the order."
Muzan's eyes became extremely dangerous. This was the first time in five hundred years that he was so upset, "Kill the Demon Slayer swordsman wearing the flower card earrings, and bring his head to me. Listen.
understand?"
······
"Hmm~"
In the dojo, the butterfly ninja lying on the ground closed his eyes tightly and seemed to be enduring severe pain.
She was covered in sweat, and her trembling hands tightly grasped Xuan Hao's arm on her body.
"well……"
Xuanhao sighed helplessly.
After two full days of non-stop training, the intensive training for Butterfly Ninja has reached the final stage.
That's right, what he wants to do to the Nine Pillars of the Demon Slayer Squad now is the same thing he did to Shinichiro Purgatory five hundred years ago.
Using the power of dragon blood and laws, they can break through the shackles of being human.
Of course, the butterfly ninja who was originally a pillar did not need to train for as long as Tanjiro. The reason for the previous anti-beating training was just to let her adapt to the excruciating pain in advance. After all, the process of transformation is extremely painful. If you can't survive it,
In the past, even though he could guarantee that there would be no accidents physically, it was hard to say mentally.
Xuanhao didn't want such a beautiful girl to become a fool.
Feel the force coming from the arm change from weak to strong, and finally relax slowly. The final stage is basically over here.
"Huh...huh..."
Butterfly Ninja's breathing gradually became even and he fell into a deep sleep.
"alright."
Xuan Hao gently removed his hand from her body.
The transformation has been completed, but it only helped the butterfly ninja to cross the limit that is difficult for humans to cross. The realm after the limit is inherently unreachable for humans, and it will only become more and more difficult to become stronger in the future.
Even the original Purgatory Shinichiro did not become stronger immediately after his transformation. In the end, it seemed that Kagami and Kagami had to join forces to threaten Kibutsuji Mukai.
As for the current Butterfly Ninja, her foundation is far lower than the other pillars. How strong she can become in the end depends on her continuous efforts.
Xuan Hao gently picked up the Butterfly Ninja lying on the ground and pushed open the closed door of the dojo.
It was still late at night, but there was always someone guarding the door.
"Mr. Xuanhao!"
Seeing Xuanhao holding the butterfly in his arms and going out, Ganluji Mili called out excitedly.
After discussion among all the pillars, the order of training has been decided. She is the second one, so she stayed here to wait. As for the other pillars, they all have their own matters to deal with and plan to wait for the summons from Dian Ya before rushing back.
.
"Um."
Xuan Hao nodded lightly, "We will start training after I send her to the rest room to settle down."
"Don't you need a rest, Mr. Xuanhao?"
Kanroji Mitsuri asked worriedly.
Although I don’t know what the two people did in the dojo, the noise seemed quite intense, and they hadn’t rested for two whole days.
"Need not."
Xuan Hao shook his head slowly. Just as he was about to send Butterfly Ninja to the lounge, a crow suddenly flew into the courtyard.
"Gah——"
Soon, rapid footsteps were heard in the corridor.
"Mr. Xuanhao, father invites you to his room. It seems there is something important." Ubuyashiki Yōya's daughter trotted over.
"Understood."
Xuan Hao hesitated for a moment, then handed the Butterfly Ninja into the hands of Kanroji Mitori, "Then please send her back to the room to settle down first, and I will start your training when I come back."
"Okay...ok."
Kanroji Mitsuri nodded in confusion.
Xuanhao soon arrived at Ubuya Shiki Yōya's room.
It was late at night, but Uyashiki Yōya didn't seem to be resting. Instead, dragging his already overwhelmed body, he was sorting out information from various places in front of the table.
Hearing the door open behind him, he put down what he was holding and turned around to salute Xuan Hao.
"Mr. Xuanhao."
"what happened?"
Xuanhao asked with some confusion. He was busy strengthening the Demon Slayer Squad's combat power. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be anything more important in Uyashiki's eyes than this, but now it seems that there is something that needs to be called upon in person.
Come to discuss.
"It's information about Miss Juyo."
Ubuyashiki Yōya said softly, pausing again in the middle, "There is also... Kibutsuji Muzan!"
"I see."
Xuanhao nodded lightly.
Indeed, if it is information about Muzan Kibutsuji, the priority is indeed the highest.
"where is he?"
"..."
Ubuyashiki Yōya shook his head silently, "His appearance was just a coincidence, and we didn't even notice it at all. If I hadn't sent someone to pay attention to the child you asked to take special care of, maybe we wouldn't have noticed it was him even if we bumped into him."
"You mean Tanjiro met Muzan?"
Hearing this, Xuanhao frowned, "Is Tanjiro okay?"
He has never fought against the Kibutsuji Muzan in his prime, but he knows without comparison that Tanjiro cannot fight against the current Kibutsuji Muzan on his own.
"Don't worry, they didn't do anything." Ubuyashiki Yoshiya continued with a solemn expression, "It happened in a downtown area at the time, and Kibutsuji Muzan seemed to be living among humans as we expected. Maybe he was worried about
Hidden identity, he did not fight Tanjiro, but caused a lot of commotion. As a result..."
"How is the result?"
"And the person who calmed down the commotion was... Miss Amari." Ubuya Shiki Yoya's expression became a little solemn, "Not only that, she also seemed to have come into contact with Tanjiro. At this moment, Tanjiro should stay with Miss Amari."
Together..."
"Is this so? It's interesting..."
After listening to Uyashiki Yoshiya's description, Xuanhao smiled softly.
It seems that everything is going smoothly. Tanjiro has been able to meet Tanjiro without any misfortune. Not only that, but there is also an unexpected gain.
Why did Tamayo come into contact with Tanjiro? He remembered that Tamayo was the ghost who hated Muzan the most, and thought about Mutsuji Muzan's tragic death all the time.
Is it because she takes a fancy to Tanjiro's potential or does she also see the shadow of Enichi Sikuni in this child? Xuanhao doesn't know if this is a coincidence or what, but if this is really the case, maybe Tanjiro
It really could be the key to changing the world.
"Where is the location?"
"Asakusa."
"Then I'll go there and tell Ganlu Temple that the training will be postponed."
"OK……"
Before he finished speaking, Xuan Hao was no longer in the room.
"It's really...like a god-like existence..."
Ubuyashiki Yōya's eyes were a little dazed. He looked at the empty room in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.
He waved gently, and his daughter beside him understood what he meant and trotted towards the dojo to inform Kanroji Mitsuri.
"well?"
After sending Butterfly Ninja back to his room to rest, Kanroji Mitsuri came to the dojo with great interest and was waiting for him, which was messy in the wind.
"Training postponed?"
"Yes, Miss Ganluji, please go to bed early tonight."
"..."
Snap, something seemed to shatter on the ground.
Kanroji Mitsuri's back was a little shaky when she left the dojo, as if her color had faded and she had lost her dream.
······
"I'm back."
Opening the door, Yushiro shouted towards the room.
"Hey, hey, hey! Tell me clearly! How can my sister be ugly? Is there something wrong with your eyes? Open your eyes and take a good look!"
Tanjiro, who was following behind Oshiro, was holding Nezuko's face and arguing with Oshiro.
As for the reason, it's probably because when Yushirou invited the two of them, he pointed at Nezuko and said, 'That girl is a ghost, right? And she's also an ugly girl.'
