Infinity: The main god space starting from Naruto

Chapter 222: Transformation of Corpse into Human, Targeting You Guo
The surrounding soldiers witnessed this strange scene and took a few steps back.

The rifle in someone's hand fell to the ground with a bang.

"Stop right there!" The general's voice became hoarse and harsh. "This is the divine power bestowed by His Majesty! As long as you are loyal to His Majesty, you can also obtain this power that surpasses mortals!"

Suddenly, a steady sound of footsteps could be heard in the distance. Hundreds of soldiers holding torches walked out of the darkness, their eyes all glowing with a strange red light.

Tanjiro's pupils suddenly shrank. Those soldiers exuded the same corrupt aura as the general.

The soldiers who were about to flee stopped, their eyes filled with greed and desire. "The general is right!" a soldier shouted, "For His Majesty!"

"For Your Majesty!"

The other soldiers also shouted and raised their guns to aim at the Demon Slayer Corps again.

Intensive gunfire rang out and bullets came like raindrops. At the same time, artillery fire roared again on the distant hillside.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The shells streaked across the night sky, swooping down with long tails of fire.

"Kill them all!" the general roared, turning and walking towards Uzui Tengen behind him, "As for you, go die first!"

He raised his hand, pulled out the pistol from his waist, and pulled the trigger at Uzui Tengen.
At this moment, Uzui Tengen's fingers moved.

"boom!"

An explosive ball slipped out of his sleeve and exploded on the ground. Thick smoke instantly obscured the view.

In the smoke, gunfire rang out. Bullets whizzed through the thick smoke, but the general missed a single shot.

"Damn it!" The general fired several shots, and the empty bullet casings fell to the ground with a clang.

In the smoke, Uzui Tengen stood up shakily. He slowly stretched out his hands and pulled out the blades in his chest one by one. The sound of metal rubbing against flesh was tooth-gripping.

"Cough, cough, cough." He coughed up a mouthful of blood, his voice hoarse: "Don't think of underestimating Zhu!"

Uzui Tengen suddenly used the Sound Breathing Technique and rushed out of the smoke in an instant. His speed was so fast that it was difficult to catch him, and the general didn't even have time to pull the trigger.

"What?!" The general's pupils suddenly shrank and a cold light flashed.

The moment the sharp blade cut across his throat, the general still had an expression of disbelief on his face. He reached out to touch his neck, and his head had already slowly fallen off.

The soldiers around were stunned for a moment, then pointed their guns at Uzui Tengen.

"Wait! Mr. Uzui!" Tanjiro screamed.

"Shut up!" Uzui Tengen interrupted him, "Just remember my gorgeous back!"

He held a knife in each hand, the blades gleaming coldly in the moonlight, and countless explosive balls slipped out of his sleeves, drawing arcs in the air.

"Breathing of sound, form of five, playing the strings!"

Uzui Tengen's figure suddenly accelerated, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air. As his two swords crossed, countless explosive balls were hit accurately.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Continuous explosions sounded in the enemy camp, causing turbulent winds and flying debris. Soldiers were blown to the ground.

A passage was forcibly opened among the group of soldiers.

"Go!" With a command from Giyu Tomioka, the team quickly rushed towards the passage.

The soldiers quickly recovered from the chaos and began to regroup.

Uzui Tengen was walking behind the team, his two swords flying, slashing down the incoming bullets one by one. His movements were still sharp, but his breathing had become disordered, and every time he swung his sword, a string of blood beads came out.

Just as the team was about to leave, he suddenly shouted with a hint of pride in his voice: "Hey, Tanjiro! Remember, this is how the Pillars should fight in a spectacular way!"

There was a smile in his voice, as if this was not a life-and-death battle, but a grand farewell performance.

Tanjiro turned his head, his vision blurred by tears. He wanted to say something, but Tomioka Giyuu pulled him forward.

As the team gradually moved away, Uzui Tengen's movements began to become slow, and his vision became blurred due to excessive blood loss.

The explosive balls on his waist have been used up, but the enemy's encirclement is getting closer and closer.

Suddenly, a shell whizzed in. Uzui Tengen barely blocked it, but the shockwave still blew him away. Two Nichirin swords flew out of his hands and fell to the ground with a clang.

"Hinazuru, Suma, Maki..." He whispered the three names, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes. "I'm sorry, it seems I can't go back."

Soldiers in the distance began to swarm forward.

Uzui Tengen gave one last smile and took out the last explosive ball from his sleeve.

He knew very well that Dio would definitely turn himself into that kind of monster. At that time, not only would he become a weapon against his companions, but even his own body would be desecrated.

As a sound column, this kind of thing is absolutely intolerable.

"The final curtain call must be magnificent enough."

He crushed the explosive ball violently, and the dazzling flames instantly engulfed everything.

In the distance, Tanjiro heard the explosion, paused, and tears instantly flowed out.

........................

two nights later
The square outside the imperial city was crowded with people and noisy.

"Have you heard? His Majesty has specially held a banquet in the palace to show his sympathy for the people, and will also award rewards to the people!"

"Yes, yes, I heard that every family can get food!"

In the crowd, an old farmer in coarse cloth said excitedly: "It is worth it to be able to enter the palace once in my life."

Officials in official uniforms moved among the crowd one after another, holding lists to record the number of ninjas.

"Everyone, please follow me." An official shouted, "To avoid crowding, we will lead everyone in in batches."

The crowd followed the officials through the palace gate and through the corridors.

"Huh? Why are we going underground?" someone asked in confusion.

"This was specially arranged by His Majesty," the official explained. "The main hall of the palace is about to be renovated, and His Majesty specially arranged to hold the banquet in the underground hall."

Finally, the team arrived at a huge underground hall, which was brightly lit by torches.

"This place is so big." someone exclaimed.

“Where is the banquet?”

Just as people were looking around, a heavy iron door fell down with a bang, completely blocking the exit.

"Door! Why is the door closed?"

Panic began to spread among the crowd. Some people rushed to the iron gate and pounded on it desperately, but the heavy iron gate did not move at all.

Just then, a low laugh came from deep in the hall.

"Welcome everyone." A slender figure walked out slowly, his golden hair shining strangely under the firelight, "Come and join this feast."

"It's just that you are the main course tonight."

As soon as Dio finished speaking, the walls around him suddenly cracked, and a large number of zombies poured out like a tide, and screams instantly resounded throughout the hall.

“Help! Help!”

The crowd fled in all directions frantically, but there was nowhere to escape in the confined space.

"Ah! Let me go!"

A young woman screamed and struggled desperately, but in front of the zombies, the strength of ordinary people seemed so insignificant.

The shrunken body of the corpse man was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. The pale skin became rosy, and the bony limbs were full of strength again. Dio stood on the high ground and showed a satisfied smile: "This method is indeed much faster."

Jia Ren bowed his head respectfully, his voice full of fanatical reverence: "Thank you for the compliment, Master. I am willing to offer all the people of this country to you, Master."

Finally, the last scream disappeared, and the only sound left in the hall was the sucking sound of the zombies eating.

Dio looked at this scene and nodded with satisfaction. He leaped and landed steadily in the center of the square.

Dio glanced at the dozens of people in front of him. The aura of these zombies was completely different from that of ordinary zombies. They were all dead swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps, and there were some powerful pillars among them.

There are even a few who are stronger than himself.

His gaze finally stopped on Rengoku Kyojuro.

As the strongest among these pillars, Purgatory looked a little embarrassed at the moment. His right arm was slowly healing, and the white bones could be seen at the fracture.

"What's going on?" Dio frowned.

Rengoku Kyojuro knelt on one knee: "In the last battle, I met the current Flame Pillar. He seemed to have awakened some kind of power. His strength suddenly increased, even" he looked down at his broken arm, "it was difficult for me to handle."

"Do you know what that power is?"

"In my family's inheritance," Rengoku Kyojuro said solemnly, "there is a book that records the inheritance of successive generations of Flame Pillars. Perhaps the answer is recorded there."

"Let's talk about it later. It seems that you still need to strengthen yourself now." Dio stroked his chin, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

"But it just so happens that" he raised his hand, his fingertips tracing the air, "I have a good idea."

He turned to the other zombies transformed from pillars, and with a flash of his body, he appeared in front of them in an instant.

"Qiang!"

Dio raised his sword and swung it, a cold light flashing.

Several arms fell neatly to the ground, the cuts were smooth, not a drop of blood flowed out. These zombies didn't even frown, as if the arms that were chopped off were not their own.

"Just use these." Dio picked up an arm and walked in front of Rengoku Kyojuro.

Rengoku Kyojuro looked at the broken arms, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes: "Master, what do you mean..."

He put his arm on Rengoku Kyojuro's torso, and a strange scene happened - the blood vessels in the broken arm squirmed like a living thing, and quickly connected with Rengoku Kyojuro's blood vessels.

One, two, three.
Soon, six arms were arranged in a fan shape on Rengoku Kyojuro's body, and each arm could move flexibly, as if it was born with the ability.

"How does it feel?" Dio asked.

Rengoku Kyojuro moved his six arms, and his fierce aura became even more terrifying: "Unprecedented. Powerful."

Dio turned to Jiaren who was standing beside him and asked, "How is the investigation going?"

Jia Ren lowered his head, with a hint of trepidation in his voice: "Master, I have tried my best to search, but" he paused, "it is difficult to find traces of ghosts, most of them only exist in legends. I only found one piece of information."

"explain."

"People have been disappearing frequently in Yoshiwara Yukaku recently. It is said," Yoshihito's voice became even lower, "that there are extremely powerful ghosts lurking around."

Dio's golden eyes narrowed slightly: "Oh?"

"Yes." Jia Ren continued, "It's a red-light district with a complicated population. Even if someone goes missing, the government won't investigate too much. But too many people have gone missing recently, and it has attracted some attention."

Dio pondered for a moment, then turned to Rengoku Kyojuro: "That's great, let's go there first."

"Yes, sir." Jia Ren bowed his head respectfully, then turned around and left to make the arrangements.

"Woo!"

A low horn sounded in the military camp.

"gather!"

"gather!"

In the pitch-black night, thousands of soldiers quickly lined up, and the sounds of horse hooves, footsteps, and the collision of weapons echoed in the night.

"All troops move out! Target: Yoshiwara Yukaku!" The general waved his hand and the army began to move.

The team moved forward in a winding manner under the moonlight, with torches forming a long dragon. Each soldier had a sharp sword hanging around his waist and a rifle on his back.

Two hours later, the silhouette of Yoshiwara Yuuko appeared in the field of vision.

This place of extravagance and decadence was brightly lit, with singing and dancing. The red lanterns illuminated the entire street in red.

"Surround the entire area!"

Teams of fully armed soldiers appeared at the street entrance, holding rifles and advancing forward with expressionless faces.

Seeing this, pedestrians on the street began to dodge and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Everyone, don't move!" A general rode over, his voice full of unquestionable majesty, "Your Majesty has ordered that there are dangerous people hiding in Yoshiwara Yuguo. The entire area must be sealed off immediately!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

The soldiers quickly spread out and surrounded the entire area, holding torches and searching house by house.

The whole street soon fell into chaos. Screams and cries were heard one after another. Some people tried to escape, but were beaten to the ground by the soldiers with rifle butts.

At this time, on the top floor of a magnificent oiran building.

Daki was lazily leaning against the window, playing with a delicate pipe in her hand. Suddenly, her brows slightly frowned.

"what happened?"

She stood up and walked to the window, and saw chaos on the street. Soldiers were searching house by house, and from time to time, disheveled guests were being driven out.

"What are these maggots doing again?" She narrowed her eyes and looked at the chaotic scene downstairs.

Teams of soldiers were systematically searching every shop, and dishevelled prostitutes were driven out onto the street, shivering in the cold wind.

Someone tried to protest, but was knocked to the ground by the soldiers with the butt of their rifles.

Click, click.

The sound of orderly footsteps came from the end of the street. Soldiers made way for them and a tall figure walked slowly towards them.

Behind him followed dozens of tall warriors.

Next to him, there was a man in a cloak, but his face could not be seen clearly.

"Lord Dio!" The soldiers immediately bowed. "There is something unusual happening in the third store to the north."

"Of the ten people we sent in to search, none came out, and... there were strange noises coming from inside."

"Oh?" Dio raised his eyebrows with interest. "It looks like that's it."

At this moment, Daki, who was on the top floor of the Oiran building, gently exhaled a smoke ring and her eyes fell on Dio.

"Tsk, tsk, what a handsome blond man." She stood up and turned the pipe in her hand slightly. "Let me see what you can do. When you come in, I want to taste your blood."

Dio suddenly turned around and looked at the general beside him: "It seems that some special means are needed."

"Understood." The general suddenly turned around and shouted an order, "Move the artillery over here! Since they're hiding inside and refuse to come out, let's blow this building up!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The roar of heavy artillery vehicles came from far away.

Daki was still thinking about how to "entertain" these guests, when suddenly her pupils shrank - several cannons were aimed at the building where she was.
