Chapter 93 Speedrun Through the Infinite City (Part 5)
"Blood Demon Art: The Tree of Unending Karma!"
The Upper Moon Four, Hantengu, first split into four, then merged back into one, transforming from an ugly old demon into a handsome young man clad in golden armor.
The young man pounded on the taiko drum behind him, which had the character "hate" written on it, and a dozen wooden dragons, each a hundred meters long, roared and lunged at Little Goku.
"Blood Demon Art: Scale Slaughter!"
Upper Moon Five, Gyokko, flew out of its pot, shed its skin and transformed into its complete form, rushing towards Goku with an uncanny leaping speed.
In his perfect form, he possesses the Hand of God, which can turn Goku into seafood whenever he touches him.
"Blood Demon Art: Flying Blood Scythe!"
"Blood Demon Art: Eightfold Slash!"
Another demon, Futaro, emerged from behind Upper Moon Six, Daki. One of them launched a poisoned, blood-red flying scythe, while the other unleashed eight ribbons that resembled sharp blades.
At the same time, they also attacked Little Wukong.
The six Upper Moon demons launched a counterattack against Goku from six directions simultaneously, so even if Goku unleashed that terrifying attack again, he could only target one direction.
This way, attacks from the other five directions cannot be blocked.
"Your strength is greater than I imagined. I'll fight you first, then I'll go find Muzan Kibutsuji!"
Despite the Upper Moons' attack, Goku showed no fear; instead, he appeared excited.
This level of attack was enough to ignite his fighting spirit.
Just as he was about to unleash his power and engage in battle, the nine Pillars leaped up simultaneously, blocking the six Upper Moon demons first.
"Breath of Rock, Fifth Form: Kagura Gyobu!"
"Sound Breathing - Fifth Form - Resounding Strings - Burst!"
"Flame Breathing - Ultimate Technique - Ninth Form - Purgatory!"
"Insect Breathing, Centipede Dance, Centipede Belly!"
"Love Breathing - Fifth Form - Wavering Love - Chaotic Claws!"
"Breath of Mist, Seventh Form: Oboro!"
"Wind Breathing - Ninth Form - Idaten Typhoon!"
"Serpent Breathing, Fifth Form: The Winding Serpent!"
"Water Breathing - Form Eleven: Calm Sea!"
The Stone Pillar and the Mist Pillar teamed up against Upper Moon One, Kokushibo, while the Insect Pillar and the Water Pillar teamed up against Upper Moon Two, Doma.
The Flame Pillar faced off against Upper Moon Three, Kiwaza; the Wind Pillar faced off against Upper Moon Four, Hantengu; and the Serpent Pillar faced off against Upper Moon Five, Gyokko.
The Sound Pillar faced off against Gyutaro, the older brother of Upper Moon Six, while the Love Pillar faced off against Daki, the younger sister of Upper Moon Six.
The moment the nine pillars charged out, they shouted to Goku, "We'll deal with them! Go kill Muzan Kibutsuji!"
Based on the location where this ghost town was built and the demons that had just been teleported there, they had already guessed that Muzan Kibutsuji had a demon under his command who was proficient in spatial blood demon arts.
Based on the information their lord had given them about Muzan Kibutsuji, Goku unleashed the terrifying attack that had just threatened Muzan Kibutsuji.
Muzan Kibutsuji will most likely be scared and run away.
If Muzan Kibutsuji escapes, then even if they kill the Twelve Demon Moons and all the demons today, it will be meaningless.
In the future, Muzan will still be able to recreate Kibutsugu.
That's why they unleashed their full power to hold back all the Upper Moons, allowing Goku to immediately go and fight Muzan Kibutsuji.
Why not have Goku drag all the Upper Moons away and let them go find Muzan Kibutsuji?
Since the other side has a demon who is proficient in spatial blood demon magic, even if they split up to search, it would be difficult to find him in such a large infinite city.
If Muzan Kibutsuji had simply had that demon teleport him away, they would have been even less able to find him.
But Goku is different. He can find traces of demons within a certain range and has the same spatial abilities.
Most importantly, they have just witnessed Goku's power, and Goku is the most likely person to kill Muzan Kibutsuji.
"Okay, then be careful!"
Young Goku possessed incredibly strong battle intelligence. He immediately understood the nine Pillars' battle plan and, instead of going to their aid, closed his eyes and began to sense the surrounding ki.
He soon discovered two other auras in other parts of the city that did not belong to the Twelve Demon Moons.
One stream is in the center of this ghost town, and the other is in the deepest part of it.
He couldn't tell which one was Kibutsuji Muzan because he had never seen Kibutsuji Muzan and didn't know what kind of energy he possessed.
However, his intuition told him that the aura deepest in the ghost city should be that of Muzan Kibutsuji.
Upon closer inspection, although the aura appeared similar to that of the Twelve Demon Moons on the surface, it seemed to conceal an even more powerful aura within.
Moreover, the aura deepest inside felt even more evil than the aura of the Twelve Demon Moons and the aura in the middle.
"Apparition!"
With a flash, he arrived in front of the aura deepest in the ghost city.
The owner of that aura had black hair, crimson eyes, and skin as pale as paper.
His pupils contracted the moment he saw Little Goku appear.
Just then, the sound of a pipa began to play, and the young man vanished from his spot in an instant.
"Damn it, how can there be such terrifying humans in this world!"
The young man appeared in a room at a brothel in Yoshiwara, his eyes filled with fear.
He is none other than the first demon in this world, Muzan Kibutsuji.
After seeing Goku unleash a terrifying attack, he realized he was in danger, because even he would not survive a direct hit.
This is also different from the battle with Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
Knowing he couldn't defeat Yoriichi Tsugikuni, he split his body into more than 1,800 pieces and fled.
Even someone as powerful as Yoriichi Tsugikuni only managed to land a little over 1,500 cuts, allowing him to escape in the end.
However, he understood that if he had been hit by the boy's attack, he wouldn't even have been able to split apart and would have been completely annihilated.
So, once he realized what was happening, he immediately ordered Nakime to activate the Blood Demon Art, teleporting him to Yoshiwara Yukaku.
But to his utter surprise, the boy also possessed spatial abilities and appeared directly in front of him.
This nearly scared him to death.
Fortunately, before the opponent could make a move, he was teleported away by Nakime.
He changed his appearance, disguising himself as an ordinary courtesan, and stayed in the room applying makeup just like any other courtesan.
In reality, however, he continued to issue commands to Nakime through their bloodline connection.
He was unwilling to hide like this. There was still a chance. He wanted to try to kill the boy. Once the boy was dead, the rest of the Demon Slayer Corps would be no threat.
"Were they teleported away?"
Upon seeing Muzan Kibutsuji disappear, Goku immediately closed his eyes to sense his presence, only to find that he could not detect Muzan Kibutsuji's ki.
This means that the other party has been teleported outside his sensing range.
Just then, the sound of a pipa rang out, and Little Wukong found that the scenery around him had changed instantly.
He was teleported to a huge underground cavern by Nakime using her Blood Demon Art.
Immediately afterwards, seven figures appeared around him almost simultaneously.
Those seven were the seven Upper Moon demons who fought against the Nine Pillars.
Indeed, Muzan Kibutsuji's strategy was simple: to use Nakime's Blood Demon Art to teleport the seven Upper Moon demons and Goku out of the Infinity Castle.
They were teleported to an underground cave where they had once hidden.
This way, Goku will be isolated and helpless, unable to receive help from the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen.
They combined the power of the seven Upper Moon demons to surround and kill Goku.
If it weren't for the bloodline suppression, even if he were surrounded and killed by the seven Upper Moon demons, he would still be in considerable danger.
So there's still a chance of winning.
