Simultaneous travel: I am proving the great way in the heavens.

Chapter 137 I became the villain boss! I hated everything and was targeted by the world!

"You..." Shinobu Kocho's pretty face, which still had some baby fat, showed a look of obvious shock, and asked, "How many upper-rank demons are there this time?"

"How many?" Luo Fu shook his head and said, "The Upper Six have died in my hands. Now there are only four Upper Six left."

"That's not right." Shinobu Kocho raised her eyebrows and said, "As I remember, the Twelve Demon Moons are the sum of the Upper and Lower Moons. In other words, there should be six Upper Moon Moons and six Lower Moon Moons respectively. You only killed one Upper Moon Six. There should be five Upper Moon Moons left now."

Luo Fu nodded first, then changed the subject and said, "Have you forgotten that I was also one of the upper demons before I escaped from the control of Muzan Kibutsuji."

Shinobu Kocho's eyes widened suddenly, and her tone was full of expectation and surprise as she said, "So, there are only four upper-rank demons left now?"

Even Luo Fu didn't know. Under normal circumstances, his judgment about the number of upper-rank demons was correct, but unfortunately, the source of the evil demons, Muzan Kibutsuji, was not a normal person.

Mingnu, who was also an upper-rank demon, died at the hands of Muzan Kibutsuji because of Luofu.

In addition, the dog was stuck into the ground by Luofu and was guarded by his clone until the sun rose, where it was burned to death.

There are indeed only four upper-rank demons left now.

But the candidate was somewhat different from what Luo Fu had guessed.

Kokushibo, Akaza, Douma and Gamatome.

This is the only upper-rank demon under Muzan Kibutsuji’s command.

As for the Lower Moon Demons, all six of them came.

Different from Luofu, its perception ability is powerful enough to cover the entire Yoshiwara Yuukoku and even has more than enough range.

The members of the Demon Slayer Corps obviously could not do what Luofu did. The evil demons were sensed clearly before they even officially stepped into the range of Yoshiwara Yukaku.

Although these members of the Demon Slayer Corps did not know the exact number of evil spirits that had arrived outside Yoshiwara Yukaku, they noticed the appearance of the evil spirits only a little later than Luofu.

The difference is that Luofu relies purely on his own perception ability, while the Demon Slayer Corps is built up by numbers.

Ever since learning that Luofu was going to fight to the death with the evil spirits, the Demon Slayer Corps began to make arrangements around Yoshiwara Yukaku.

It can be said that now, to a certain extent, Yoshiwara Yuuko's defense is so tight and its strength is so concentrated that it even surpasses the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Even outside Yoshiwara Yukaku, there are a large number of Demon Slayer Corps members who are constantly patrolling.

Don’t think that just because there are only a few pillars in the Demon Slayer Corps, it means that the number of members of the Demon Slayer Corps is small.

Don't forget that the levels of the Demon Slayer Corps are divided according to the Ten Heavenly Stems.

The ten levels above Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui are the Pillars. In addition to these ten levels of demon hunters and Pillars, the Demon Slayer Corps also has members like In who are responsible for post-war work. At the same time, some demon hunters who cannot continue to kill evil spirits on the front line for other reasons will also turn to the identity of trainers.

The former Water Pillar, Sakonji Urokodaki, and the former Sound Pillar, Jigoro Kuwashima, are trainers who continuously train qualified new members for the Demon Slayer Corps.

Just from this huge system, it is enough to make people feel that the Demon Slayer Corps is definitely an organization with a large number of members.

The members of the Demon Slayer Corps who were responsible for the periphery reported the news immediately after they noticed the appearance of evil demons.

Soon, the news of the appearance of the evil ghost reached the ears of the members of the Demon Slayer Corps.

In a short period of time, the atmosphere in the entire Yoshiwara tourist area quickly became solemn.

In the Demon Slayer Corps, the Inui who are responsible for the aftermath work are not just responsible for the aftermath. In fact, if conditions permit, before fighting with the evil spirits, the entire Inui will still try their best to avoid exposing the existence of the evil spirits.

For example, now.

Although the wisteria garden where Luofu settled was indeed in Yoshiwara.

But it is in a rather remote place.

After all, the purpose of the Demon Slayer Corps is to hide the existence of themselves and the evil spirits as much as possible.

The special nature of Yoshiwara Yuguo forced them to choose a suitable location, which was neither too far away from Yoshiwara Yuguo nor causing trouble for the hidden departments in the aftermath.

Who made it so that places like Yoshiwara Yukaku have such a huge flow of people that even the hidden departments would have a hard time dealing with the aftermath?

Although the evil spirits came to Yoshiwara Yukaku due to the order of Muzan Kibutsuji, they did not act rashly, but continued to gather, as if they were planning to start a real fight with Luofu only after they gathered enough.

The evil spirits were not killed either. Although they were manipulated by Muzan, they had to face Luofu.

But Luofu is an existence that even Muzan Kibutsuji is wary of.

Especially someone like Kokushibo who still remembers the limit one that the Demon Slayer Corps had experienced. He knows very well how terrifying the improvement in Luofu's strength is.

It is almost impossible for the evil spirit to escape from the control of Muzan Kibutsuji.

Except for Tamayo at that time, who, by chance, took the opportunity to escape when Muzan Kibutsuji was severely injured by Yoriichi Tsugikuni and fell into an unprecedented state of weakness.

Luofu was the only one who truly escaped from the control of the Demon King right under the nose of Muzan Kibutsuji.

What’s more crucial is that when Luofu broke away from the control of Muzan Kibutsuji, Muzan was in an unprecedented peak state.

No one knows better than the evil spirits, especially the upper-rank evil spirits, what this means.

The power of the evil spirits comes from the demon blood bestowed by Muzan Kibutsuji.

To a certain extent, it is almost impossible for the evil spirits to break free from Muzan Kibutsuji's control.

But now, first a Tamayo appeared, relying on his own talent and wisdom, he took advantage of Muzan Kibutsuji's weakness to escape from the clutches of the devil.

As for Luofu, it truly relies on its own strength.

Luofu broke free from the control of Muzan Kibutsuji without any compromise. This was something that only a person who truly made himself equal to or even superior to Muzan Kibutsuji could do.

Even Kokushibo didn't dare to underestimate Luofu.

As for the other upper-rank demons, Akaza and Douma, they had seen with their own eyes how Luofu used the Nichirin Sword to cut Hantengu into eight pieces and impaled them on the ground.

Akaza and Douma were clearly going to help Hantengu, but they were easily held back by Luofu's clones.

A few clones were able to hold out against Akaza and Douma. Even if they were at a disadvantage, this still allowed many evil spirits to feel how terrifying Luofu's strength had become.

The increase in strength of the evil spirits controlled by Muzan Kibutsuji is equivalent to being locked up by Muzan Kibutsuji.

For example, Kokushibo has been a demon for such a long time, but apart from his own Moon Breathing, he has not grown much. At most, he has gained a new way to manipulate blood demon arts to transform into a sword.

It is almost impossible for an evil ghost to improve his strength through his own efforts.

This is also the reason why evil spirits often have an extremely strong desire for the blood of Muzan Kibutsuji.

To a certain extent, the blood of Muzan Kibutsuji is like a treasure that can replenish the life of the evil spirits. The desire that comes from the root of life is enough to completely distort the self of an individual with a complete personality.

Ever since the night Luofu escaped, no one among the upper-rank demons dared to underestimate Luofu.

Only the upper-rank demon who is closest to Muzan Kibutsuji truly understands what incredible realm Luofu has reached in order to break free from Muzan Kibutsuji's control.

For several days in a row, the evil spirits had clearly gathered outside Yoshiwara Yukaku.

But these evil spirits seemed to be waiting for something and were reluctant to step into the Demon Slayer Corps' alert area.

In the past few days, there has been another strange tacit understanding between the two sides.

It was as if they were two masters who were about to compete, staring at each other closely, trying their best to find the flaws in each other.

In the wisteria garden.

Ever since I noticed the appearance of the evil ghost.

Several pillars were completely rooted in the wisteria courtyard.

I received news from the Demon Slayer Corps members again, but the evil demons still haven't taken any action.

The hot-tempered Rengoku Kyojuro slammed the table in dissatisfaction and said, "Damn it, what the hell are these ghosts doing? Why are they waiting outside when they are already here and not coming in at all?"

"Maybe... they are waiting for more evil spirits to gather here." Uzui Tengen said with a serious tone.

"Those ordinary evil demons can be left to other members of the Demon Slayer Corps. We only need to keep an eye on the Upper and Lower Moon demons of the Twelve Demon Moons." Tomioka Giyu said calmly.

"Amitabha, now I only hope that the Ghost King can also appear, so that we can achieve our goal in one go, and from now on, human beings will no longer have to be harassed and harmed by evil spirits." Beimingyu Xingming clasped his hands together with a look of compassion.

As Haimei Gyomei finished speaking, Rengoku Kyojuro quickly read the message conveyed by the Demon Slayer Corps members again.

Putting down the note with handwriting in his hand, Rengoku Kyojuro said unhappily: "This damn ghost king, I haven't found his trace yet."

"The Demon King Kibutsuji Muzan is not a reckless person." A sudden voice immediately attracted the attention of all the Demon Slayer Corps pillars.

Following the sound, they saw a woman wearing a floral kimono, who looked like a young girl yet also had a certain maturity, walking towards them.

"It's Mr. Tamayo." Uzui Tengen stood up, nodded slightly to Tamayo, and said, "Mr. Tamayo, do you know a lot about the Ghost King?"

For the Demon Slayer Corps, Tamayo's existence is a secret known only to very few people.

After all, the Demon Slayer Corps and the evil demons are enemies who will never stop fighting.

Although Tamayo has escaped from the control of Muzan Kibutsuji, she is still an evil spirit in the final analysis.

Even if Tamayo only needs to take a small amount of human blood to survive, she doesn't need to feed on human flesh and blood like other evil spirits.

But in the Demon Slayer Corps, there are still countless people who cannot accept the existence of Tamayo.

However, the existence of the Pillar level is obviously more rational than the ordinary members of the Demon Slayer Corps.

At this moment, seeing Tamayo appear, Beimeiyu Gyomei, Rengoku Kyojuro, Tomioka Giyuu and others all stood up and nodded to Tamayo.

"How could I not understand?" Tamayo's tone revealed a deep hatred. "Now, Muzan Kibutsuji knows the existence of Lord Luofu. Before Lord Luofu dies, or before Muzan Kibutsuji confirms Lord Luofu's death, I'm afraid this ghost king will not appear at all."

Mr. Tamayo means that the strongest opponent we are facing this time is only an upper-rank demon?" Tomioka Giyuu said as a matter of course.

"Don't underestimate the upper-rank demons." Tamayo frowned and reminded, "Don't forget, even Lord Luofu was still just an upper-rank demon before he got rid of Muzan Kibutsuji's control. The upper-rank demons are different from those evil demons who were transformed by just a little blood of Muzan Kibutsuji. In fact, the two sides are basically the same. In theory, Muzan Kibutsuji is the source of all evil demons. If evil demons want to improve their strength, the only way is to get more of Muzan Kibutsuji's blood. But Muzan Kibutsuji's blood contains terrible corrosiveness. Once this corrosiveness exceeds the threshold, even evil demons will die instantly. The upper-rank demons are strong people who can withstand the demon blood that is enough to make ordinary evil demons disappear into thin air!"

"It's okay." Beimingyu Xingming's eyes suddenly became misty, and his tone even became a little choked.

"No matter how strong the upper-rank demon is, we have the help of Mr. Luofu this time. He is able to make Muzan Kibutsuji retreat."

"I think you guys should not be too optimistic." Tamayo was silent for a moment, and said in a complicated tone: "Lord Luofu doesn't care whether ordinary people die at the hands of evil spirits. The only person he cares about is Muzan Kibutsuji. Apart from Muzan Kibutsuji, Lord Luofu doesn't care about anything!"

Through the contact with Luofu during this period, Zhu Shi has truly felt Luofu's independent character.

Zhu Shi couldn't feel any normal human emotion from Luofu.

You know, Luofu has already escaped from the control of Muzan Kibutsuji. In theory, he should have regained his humanity.

But Zhu Shi felt that Luo Fu's character was even more terrifying than that of a demon. He seemed to hate and even despise all human beings.

It feels like Tamayo is right about this.

Luofu really hated the people of the island nation in this era.

It is no exaggeration to say that in Luofu's eyes, nine out of ten contemporary Japanese people deserve to be killed.

Even though the First World War has not really started yet, in the future, those who will invade the ancient Eastern country will be the younger generations of outsiders in the island country, or even their direct relatives, sons or even themselves.

In this case, how could Luofu, who had awakened his memories of his past life, possibly empathize with the islanders?

He wished that all the islanders, whether they were evil spirits or ordinary people, would die.

The members of the Demon Slayer Corps looked at each other in bewilderment when they heard Tamayo's judgment. They knew very little about Luofu.

In fact, the first time I knew about Luofu's existence was during the period before and after the last siege on Yunqu Mountain.

Most of our knowledge about Luofu is based on fragmentary records in ancient books. In fact, many records about Luofu are contradictory to each other.

This is also the reason why, not long ago, when Ubuyashiki Yoya proposed the condition that after eliminating Muzan Kibutsuji, the Ubuyashiki family and the Amane family could make Luofu the god worshipped by their two families, the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps were so resistant.

In fact, their understanding of Luofu is more about his former identity as an evil ghost.

You know, it is almost impossible for an evil ghost to recover and become a human again.

This has been recognized by everyone for thousands of years.

Even though Luofu has leapt from an ordinary evil ghost to a more terrifying existence, for the Demon Slayer Corps, the impression of an evil ghost still exists.

"So, if we fight with these evil spirits, will Mr. Luofu take action?" Beimingyu Xingming couldn't help but ask.

Tamayo smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know if he will help."

Everyone was silent for a moment again, and then the Flame Pillar's Rengoku Kyojuro spoke up, "It doesn't matter. Even if we have to face those upper-rank demons, lower-rank demons, and ordinary evil spirits alone, what can we do? Don't forget that our target before was all the evil spirits. Now, because of Mr. Luofu, we don't need to care about the demon king Muzan Kibutsuji. Don't we have the confidence to defeat even his subordinates?"

Everyone knew that Flame Pillar Rengoku Kyojuro's words were just to boost morale.

But at this time the war is imminent, even if the pillars do not have much confidence, they will not boost others' morale and destroy their own prestige at this critical juncture.

For a moment, everyone showed an attitude of sharing a common hatred of the enemy.

No one noticed that all the beads were showing an enthusiastic and high-spirited look.

In the corner of the courtyard, in a wine jar that had been beaten by wind and rain and even looked a little shabby, a small head popped out of nowhere.

This head was looming, and even its unique aura that belonged to an evil spirit seemed to be blocked by this wine jar.

None of the pillars noticed anything unusual about the wine jar, and everything they discussed was heard clearly by the evil ghost hiding in the wine jar.

Yoshiwara tour outside the city.

In a dark mansion.

Ghosts on the upper string, ghosts on the lower string, come together to talk.

In the center of these evil spirits, a figure suddenly emerged from an ancient red pot.

"It seems that we are not taken seriously by the target of this mission?"

Jade pot.

Upper Rank Five!! Their special blood demon arts allow them to freely transfer through space in any pot.

This is not to say that the blood vampire technique has really reached the conceptual level. The reason why Yu Hu can transfer himself in the pot is entirely based on his own love for the pot. In fact, his ability is more like a means of space transfer with the help of some fixed external objects.

It is somewhat similar to the Flying Thunder God Technique in the ninja world.

The prerequisite for the Flying Thunder God Technique to transfer space is to leave the mark of the Flying Thunder God, and the prerequisite for the jade pot to transfer space is to use the pot as the coordinate.

As soon as they arrived at Yoshiwara Yuguo, they began to plan to send a pot to the wisteria garden.

Compared with the movement of people, monitoring the wisteria courtyard through a pot is undoubtedly a more difficult to guard against method.

Fortunately, the demons succeeded. After all, although demons have special features that can be easily detected by the Demon Slayer Corps, at night, unless they actively expose themselves, demons can almost perfectly blend in with ordinary people.

Ordinary people have no way of even realizing the true nature of evil spirits.

This was the case with the six Upper Moons, Gitarou and Daki, who died at the hands of Luofu.

You know, Daki is hiding in the bustling Yoshiwara tourist area with a large flow of people. Even so, she has not exposed herself for so many years. It can be seen that if the evil ghost is really hiding, it is really hard to guard against.

Even in the Demon Slayer Corps, not everyone can accurately distinguish the difference between evil demons and ordinary people.

There are very few people who have this ability.

For the evil ghost, it might not be so easy to sneak into the wisteria garden in person, but if he just sent a slightly shabby-looking pot to the wisteria garden, the process would be much simpler.

It is even so simple that you only need to hide the pot among the daily necessities needed in the wisteria garden.

At this moment, the pot hidden in the place where Zhu and others were communicating was sent here by the evil ghost with the help of the abilities of ordinary people in this way.

After coming out of the pot and returning to his seat, Yu Hu said in a mocking tone: "Luo Fu, this guy, only really cares about adults now. We... According to those members of the Demon Slayer Corps, he probably doesn't even take us seriously."

"He has the qualifications." Akaza said solemnly, "Back then, when this guy just betrayed the adults, Douma and I personally faced his clones. At that time, his clones were already able to resist the sun for a short period of time. Now..."

After a slight pause, Akaza glanced in Douma's direction and said, "Now that he dares to stand out openly, I'm afraid he has truly gained the confidence to confront the adults."

Holding a blood-red long sword in his hand, or simply put, it is a sword shaped like a sword made of blood. He is the brother of Yoriichi Tsugikoku, who once almost killed the great Kibutsuji Muzan.

When he was a human, this guy's name was Tsugukuni Iwakatsu, but like other evil spirits, after Tsugukuni Iwakatsu transformed into the evil spirit Kokushibo, his emotions during his human period were also greatly affected.

At the very least, in terms of emotions and memories, he can no longer be completely identical to the former Jiguo Yansheng.

At this moment, after hearing the information from Yuhu, Kokushibo said in a cold voice: "The current Demon Slayer Corps does not even have one person who has activated the Mark. They are not worth our attention at all. We only have one real goal, and that is to kill Luofu. Only Luofu is our target."

There is no doubt that Kokushibo's words hit the thoughts of all the evil spirits present.

If it weren't for Muzan Kibutsuji's order, none of them would take the initiative to fight the Demon Slayer Corps members face to face.

Now in terms of overall strength, don’t think that the evil spirits are enough to crush the Demon Slayer Corps.

But the evil demons seemed to be deliberately letting it go, or in other words, they never took the Demon Slayer Corps seriously from the beginning to the end.

In most cases, it is the members of the Demon Slayer Corps who take the initiative to find the location of the evil demons, and then the two sides start fighting.

On the contrary, it rarely happens that evil spirits take the initiative to approach the Demon Slayer Corps.

The overall strength of the evil spirits is stronger than that of the Demon Slayer Corps when only considering pure strength. However, in battle, factors such as the environment have a greater impact.

This is especially evident in evil spirits.

Never forget that even the King of Demons, Muzan Kibutsuji, cannot resist the sunlight.

Evil spirits that hide during the day and come out at night almost never show up during the day.

At night, the members of the Demon Slayer Corps completely realized the advantage of suppressing the sun, which is the biggest advantage for the evil spirits, and thus fell behind the evil spirits in all aspects.

Douma thought for a long time before saying, "The current Demon Slayer Corps is indeed not worthy of our attention. But if these Demon Slayer Corps members really fight to the death, with their breathing method and the Nichirin Swords in their hands, they may really threaten us. Therefore, even if we are targeting Luofu, we cannot underestimate the members of the Demon Slayer Corps. I think we may be able to temporarily delay the members of the Demon Slayer Corps and try to get rid of Luofu as soon as possible. As long as Luofu dies, our mission will be completed, and it doesn't matter whether we kill or let the remaining Demon Slayer Corps go."

I have to admit that Douma's words really hit the hearts of many evil spirits.

After thinking about it, Kokushibo said directly: "Leave the members of the Demon Slayer Corps to me. I also want to give it a try. Now the breathing method practiced in the Demon Slayer Corps is really terrible. I will try my best to buy enough time for you to deal with Luofu. Remember, our time is limited. Luofu is now like a human being and is no longer afraid of the sun. If he delays us until dawn, we will have no chance to kill him!"

"With your strength alone, can you really hold off the Demon Slayer Corps for a whole night?" Akaza said somewhat worriedly.

"Yes." Kokushibo said affirmatively: "There is not even one person in the Demon Slayer Corps who has activated the Mark. Not only am I confident that I can fight them alone for a whole night, I am even confident that I can kill them all if they don't escape."

"That's not necessary. Our mission is just Luofu. We should kill these Demon Slayer Corps members if we can. If we can't kill them, it will be enough to delay them so that they don't come to cause trouble." Douma said confidently.

At this moment, don’t look at the fact that there are so many evil spirits gathered in this room.

But in fact, the ones who are qualified to speak are only a few upper-rank demons such as Kokushibo, Douma, Akaza, and Gamatsubo.

Be it the lower-rank demons or any other evil demons, they have no right to speak at all.

Although at other times, it is not uncommon for lower-rank demons to challenge upper-rank demons.

Don't forget that this mission was personally ordered by Muzan Kibutsuji. Even in such a long time, many evil spirits have never remembered a situation where they were directly ordered by Muzan Kibutsuji as it is now.

In this situation, if anyone behaves too actively and fails the mission, he will inevitably be punished by Muzan Kibutsuji.

For the evil spirits, they would rather face the Demon Slayer Corps than endure the punishment of Muzan Kibutsuji.

Soon, after a few words, several upper-rank demons decided on a general plan for this operation.

As soon as night falls, all the evil spirits will act in unison.

time flies.

The moment when night falls.

Luo Fu couldn't help but reveal a disdainful smile.

Although he had known for a long time that Muzan Kibutsuji was indeed very despicable, Luo Fu still did not expect that Muzan Kibutsuji could be so despicable.

Even though he was fully aware of the threat, Muzan Kibutsuji had no intention of showing up. Instead, he treated the evil spirits under his command as consumables.

Luofu was even certain that Muzan Kibutsuji must be using his ability to keep an eye on him all the time. Once these evil spirits felt the unmatched power of Luofu, Muzan Kibutsuji would hide in a hurry like a frightened ostrich.

The former Tsugumi Kokuyoshi made Muzan Kibutsuji hide for a hundred years.

It was not until Tsugakuni Yoshiichi died of old age that Kibutsuji Muzan retaliated by destroying the original Demon Slayer Corps and completely erasing the inheritance of the Sun Breathing.

But this time, the person who will enjoy the same treatment is Luofu.

But Luofu is different from Jiguo Yuanyi.

No matter how brilliant and amazing Tsugumi Yuichiro was, he was still just an ordinary human being.

The life span limit of one hundred years is a shackle that even Tsugumi Yoriichi cannot escape.

No matter how powerful Tsugumi Yoshiichi is, and even if he almost killed Kibutsuji Muzan, he will eventually grow old and die over the course of time.

Luofu is different.

If Muzan Kibutsuji was determined to hide, Luofu would be in trouble.

Luo Fu was certainly not worried about his own life. On the contrary, he was worried that after Muzan Kibutsuji went into hiding, he was still up to some ulterior motives.

If Muzan Kibutsuji really wanted to bury himself and never show up.

That was something Luo Fu was thankful for.

After all, as long as Muzan Kibutsuji hides for a while, it won’t even take long, and if Luofu shares it two or three more times, Muzan Kibutsuji will completely lose any hope.

Obviously, no matter how despicable Muzan Kibutsuji is, he would not be so stupid.

The greater possibility is that, realizing that he is unable to fight against Luofu's terrifying strength, he will directly choose to leave the island country and search the world for blue spider lilies to eliminate his greatest weaknesses and defects.

Luo Fu vaguely remembered that Muzan Kibutsuji seemed to have mentioned that the doctor who treated him or completely transformed him into a demon did not seem to be a native of the island country.

In other words, the doctor had experience of studying medicine in an ancient Eastern country.

Judging from the environment in which the blue spider lily grows and the doctor's experience, it is very likely that the blue spider lily does not only grow in island countries.

The scope of Muzan Kibutsuji's search for the blue spider lily has spread from the island country to the entire world. With Muzan Kibutsuji's special characteristics, once he falls into the eyes of those powerful people.

By then, what Luofu will have to face is not just a few evil spirits, but the entire world.

If this situation really happens, Luofu will be more likely to be the villain of this world.
