They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 35 Surprise, surprise! It's a real surprise!!

Kibutsuji Muzan was very efficient. The night after receiving the photos, he led a group of demons to surround the mountain where the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters was located.

Then it saw a wooden puppet standing on the main road at the foot of the mountain, holding a sign that read:
"The head of the Ubuyashiki family, holding a blue spider lily, invited Muzan Kibutsuji to the mountaintop to settle their score."

As the Ghost King, surely he wouldn't be afraid to see a patient alone?

When Muzan Kibutsuji saw the doll, he immediately smiled disdainfully, then flung it away, smashing it to pieces in an instant, and mocked him.
"Little tricks."

Muzan Kibutsuji isn't stupid; he knows there must be traps on the mountain aimed at him, but he genuinely despises the Demon Slayer Corps from the bottom of his heart.

From Muzan Kibutsuji's perspective, rather than worrying about traps, he was more concerned that if he really led a group of demons up there, the Demon Slayer Corps would destroy the Blue Spider Lily.

So, the next second it said to the others...

“Narukae, come with me. The rest of you, stay at the foot of the mountain and wait for my message.”

Here, Muzan Kibutsuji felt that he was being as careful as he could with Nakime, so he strode forward up the mountain.

On the way up the mountain, Muzan Kibutsuji did not encounter any traps or obstacles, and did not even meet a single person.

They walked all the way to the building where the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters was located and saw Kagaya Ubuyashiki standing alone at the entrance.

At this moment, Kagaya Ubuyashiki's spirit was connected with Danlei, who had turned the entire mountain into a workshop. So even though he was blind, he could still see Muzan Kibutsuji's appearance, and his body was temporarily strengthened by Danlei, so at least he wouldn't fall down while walking.

Seeing that Muzan Kibutsuji hadn't come alone, Kagaya Ubuyashiki directly mocked him.
"Kibutsuji Muzan, you are indeed as cowardly as the records say. You don't even dare to come alone to see me, who is deeply cursed by you and has no strength to even kill a chicken."

Seeing that only Kagaya Ubuyashiki was present, and that his body was so ravaged that it seemed a gust of wind could blow him away, Muzan Kibutsuji restrained his urge to kill him outright. Instead, he asked...
"I've arrived. Where are the blue spider lilies?"

Seeing this, Kagaya Ubuyashiki turned and went into the house, saying...
"Come in if you dare."

Muzan Kibutsuji didn't say anything more and followed Kagaya Ubuyashiki into the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki quickly led Muzan Kibutsuji to a courtyard, where a blue spider lily was placed in a glass petri dish in the center.

Upon seeing this, Muzan Kibutsuji excitedly rushed to the glass petri dish, crushed the glass, and absorbed the blue spider lily.

Then, he glared fiercely at Kagaya Ubuyashiki and roared...
You're kidding me!

If you think about it, it's obvious that Kagaya Ubuyashiki would never give Muzan Kibutsuji a chance to resolve his final flaw. This blue spider lily was dyed on, with only one purpose: to keep Muzan Kibutsuji away from Nakime.

In Dan Lei's plan, Nakime is the first person he must deal with. Whether it's sending Muzan Kibutsuji up the mountain alone or the current actions, it's all about eliminating Nakime as soon as possible.

So, taking advantage of Muzan Kibutsuji leaving Nakime's side, Kojiro Sasaki, who had been lying in ambush for a long time, instantly transformed from a spirit into a physical form, chopped off Nakime's head with a single stroke, and disappeared instantly while carrying her head.

This operation was so smooth and fluid, perfectly demonstrating Sasaki Kojiro's Assassin class.

After Nakime's head was cut off, Sasaki Kojiro disappeared because Danlei used a Command Spell to summon Nakime's head back to his side to kill her, since Sasaki Kojiro's sword could not kill Nakime.

Therefore, in Muzan Kibutsuji's view, Nakime died instantly after her head was cut off.

At this moment, Kagaya Ubuyashiki also said with a fierce expression.
"Did you like the first surprise I gave you? Don't worry, there's a second one."

After saying that, Kagaya Ubuyashiki's figure disappeared instantly, replaced by enough high-explosive gunpowder to fill the entire yard.

Here, Dan Lei used a substitution magic spell to swap Ubuyashiki Kagaya with the gunpowder inside the mountain. Then, a small mushroom cloud rose from the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, instantly leveling the entire headquarters building.

However, Muzan Kibutsuji did not suffer much damage in the flames of the explosion.

Dan Lei could clearly sense that Muzan Kibutsuji had used the power of Abundant Fate to protect himself.

Although the explosion successfully broke through his defenses, Muzan Kibutsuji's terrifying regenerative abilities, combined with his Abundant Fate, allowed him to instantly recover from the explosion damage.

However, the matter was not over yet. Before the flames of the explosion had completely dissipated, Gyomei Himejima, Sanemi Shinazugawa, and Kojiro Sasaki were swapped by Dan Lei to Muzan Kibutsuji's side.

With his entire body enveloped in hunting power, Ximingyu Xingming spoke through tears.

"The war between humans and demons will finally end today! Muzan Kibutsuji, prepare to die!"

After saying that, he was the first to rush forward.

Upon seeing this, Muzan Kibutsuji immediately transformed into his battle form and blocked the meteor hammer thrown by Gyomei Himejima with one hand.

At the same time, it extended its tentacles to block Shinazugawa Sanemi's slash.

However, the next second, Sasaki Kojiro suddenly stepped forward with his sword, and three sword flashes simultaneously struck Kibutsuji Muzan's neck, severing his head.

This is Sasaki Kojiro's treasured secret sword, "Swallow Return".

At the same time, Tamayo suddenly appeared, injected several vials of medicine into Muzan Kibutsuji's body and head, and then disappeared.

At this moment, Muzan Kibutsuji realized that there was someone in the Demon Slayer Corps with similar abilities to Nakime, so he immediately ordered all the demons to launch a full-scale attack on the mountain!

The demons below the mountain were actually itching to act when the explosion occurred at the summit, but without Muzan Kibutsuji's order, no one dared to move.

Now that the order has been given, all sorts of ghosts immediately displayed their unique abilities and rushed up the mountain.

However, the ghosts were ambushed as soon as they entered the mountain.

A large number of puppets wielding Nichirin Blades appeared out of nowhere in the mountains, and these puppets were extremely powerful; they could kill ordinary demons with just two strikes.

These are the guards of Danlei Magic Workshop. They are puppets modeled after Yoriichi Type-0. They might not be enough to defeat Upper Moon demons, but they are definitely enough to fight ordinary demons.

Of course, on the Upper Moons' side, Dan Lei arranged opponents for them, instead of attacking Muzan Kibutsuji's Pillars, they all went to intercept the Upper Moons.

Among them, Shinobu Kocho, who also possesses the power to hunt down destinies, is not on Muzan Kibutsuji's side because she wants to personally kill Upper Moon Two, Doma.

Of course, in Danlei's magic workshop, he certainly wouldn't let the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps really fight the Upper Moons one-on-one.

Throughout the mountain, Dan Lei had planted a large number of blood vines containing the potent poison from Gyutaro, which would weaken even Upper Moons.

Furthermore, Danlei can also learn from Nakime's tactics in the Infinite Castle, constantly switching everyone's positions to create a situation where they outnumber the enemy.

With the support of the entire mountain's spiritual vein nodes, Dan Lei currently has an exceptionally large amount of magic power, so even if he uses it until daytime, there won't be any problem.
