--3--

…………

The live broadcast room suddenly exploded!

"Holy crap?! Demon Slayer?! This is just mindless slaughter?! Five days! Wu Yue could have three days to play around with!"

"What is the guardian beast of the nation? Will our country be represented by a dragon?"

"Damn it, why is it called the 'Blade of the Fandom'?!"

"Defeat Demon Slayer within five days."

"Seriously, aren't you guys even concerned about... damn it..."

"Huh? What... what's going on? Why... why are there still mission failures..."

"No...no way...this kind of price..."

On the screens of electronic devices worldwide... a string of text has reappeared...

—Mission failed: The Celestial Empire's representative will disappear from the universe—Power.

Chapter 181 No matter whose daughter you are! Get out of here!

On the plains in the dead of night, the two faced each other... a tense atmosphere thick with impending conflict...

Kyojuro Rengoku was breathing heavily and was beginning to lose his strength. His left eye was injured, and it could even be said that he was completely blind. He could only use his right eye to observe objects, which was quite a disadvantage in the battle.

His internal organs were also severely injured, with most of his internal organs damaged and all his ribs shattered.

Blood pooled on his chin, forming droplets that dripped down to his body. Tanjiro stared wide-eyed, his face filled with worry and urgency, at the person in front of him who was protecting him and everyone else behind him.

"Mr. Purgatory... Mr. Purgatory!... Damn it! Of all times, I had to be injured in the abdomen! Damn it, damn it, damn it!"

Tanjiro was furious at his current powerlessness!

Opposite Kyojuro Rengoku stood a strange person.

She has short, peach-pink hair, golden eyes, and pale skin. Her entire body is covered with countless dark blue tattoos representing sinners, and her fingernails are a terrifying blood red. She wears a purple-red short-sleeved shirt with the number "807" on it, and large prayer beads hang from both ankles.

Akaza looked at Rengoku Kyojuro in front of him, his eyes slightly narrowed, and said with a hint of regret.

"Even if you fight with the determination to sacrifice yourself, it will all be in vain, Kyojuro. No matter how fierce your superb slashes are, your wounds will heal in an instant."

"But look at yourself. Your left eye is completely blind, your ribs are almost shattered, and your internal organs are too. These injuries are irreversible. If you were a ghost, your injuries would heal in the blink of an eye. Such injuries are just minor scratches to a ghost."

"No matter how hard humans struggle, they can't defeat demons. Don't you understand?"

Kyojuro didn't answer Akaza, but instead consciously began to control his breathing, taking a deep breath... and slowly closing his mouth...

--Bang!--

The next second! Flame Pillar Breathing activated! A terrifying sound, generated by the burst of flames, appeared near Kyojuro! The sparks surrounding Kyojuro were instantly ignited!

Flames, visible to the naked eye, shot into the sky! The golden flames illuminated and lit up the eyes of everyone around!

Akaza looked at the man in front of her in surprise, her heart filled with shock. The thought of turning Kyojuro into a demon did not disappear, but instead intensified.

Kyojuro is very strong, and I like him a lot. If I turn him into a demon, I can preserve his strength...

"Kyojuro...you..."

Kyojuro gripped the hilt of his Nichirin Blade with both hands! At the same time, he stepped back with his right foot! He slowly raised it above his head in a slashing motion!

"I will fulfill my duty! Every single one of you here! Not a single one..."

"Aa ...

Just then! A voice from the sky broke the tense atmosphere! It was a woman's scream!

Everyone instinctively looked up, wanting to see where the scream was coming from!

"Aa ...

--Bang!--

Falling rapidly!

One person landed between Kyojuro Rengoku and Akaza! He smashed into a huge crater and kicked up a cloud of dust!

"Who...who is it..."

Kyojuro asked tremblingly, glancing at Tanjiro behind him, and noticed that Tanjiro had the same expression as him.

Who could it be?! Is it aid?! Or a ghost?!

The dust gradually settled...

A hand clad in protective armor reached out and slammed hard onto the solid ground!

"—Cough—cough—Damn it…are you kidding me…it always happens so suddenly…this time I was teleported into mid-air again…damn it…it hurts so much…"

Celestial Empire

"It's here! It's showing! Amazing! They even opened a separate live stream room! We have to give Wu Yue face, even if he's an alien!"

"Unleash Musou! Unleash Musou! Unleash Musou!"

"What's going on?! Why is the screen covered in dust?! Is that screaming Wu Yue?!"

"Wife, wife, please! If this is the Demon Slayer timeline before the Flame Hashira's death, please save Brother Flame Hashira!"

"Save my ass! Kill them all!"

"Holy crap! Holy crap! I can see it! Wow!"

"Speaking of which, don't you guys care about the wars that determine the fate of other countries? That's the Marineford War, you know, the Pirate King..."

--------

Sakura Country

"Hehe~ I don't even want to say anything. I'm sure the organizer of the National Destiny War is from Japan. How many times has this happened? The National Destiny War is full of Japanese anime."

"Hahahaha, this inexplicably tickled my funny bone, hahaha!"

"Indeed, there are two this time, one is Demon Slayer and the other is One Piece. I don't believe that the organizer of the National Fortune War is not an anime fan from Japan."

"What's so interesting about this? In Wu Yue's eyes, is the battle shown in Demon Slayer really a threat? And you say it's too strong and that a separate world should be prepared for Wu Yue?"

"Upstairs, isn't there a time limit for this mission?"

--------

Wu Yue coughed violently in the deep pit. Fortunately, she had managed to summon the spirit form of the blue and white battle dress in time, though she figured it would hurt even more now.

Reaching out to hook onto the ground above, Wu Yue climbed up, steadied herself, and began brushing the dust off her skirt.

"Phew~ I'm back to life."

Wu Yue breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, and saw Kyojuro staring at him with his right eye wide open in shock, his mouth open but no words coming out.

Wu Yue peeked out again and saw Tanjiro and that pig's head, as well as the black train that was still there. He stroked his chin and thought carefully.

"Oh... the Mugen Train... damn dog, get out of here..."

Kyojuro's lips moved, staring at the woman's constantly swaying ahoge (cowlick) on her head... before he finally spoke.

A woman…who is she?! Reinforcements?! No, no, she's a complete stranger! Or…

"Hey! No matter who you are, it's dangerous here! Get out of here right now!"

Kyojuro shouted at the blonde woman in front of him!

Yiwo, seated behind Wu Yue, was also drawn to this woman...

Annoying...really annoying! A woman suddenly appeared and interrupted my enjoyable battle!

Akaza's gaze slowly moved upwards, and he saw the ahoge (cowlick) on the woman's head, which was still swaying back and forth!

Akaza's pupils contracted sharply!

What is that?! What is that supposed to be?! Is there something wrong with that hair?!

Wu Yue looked at Kyojuro, examined his wounds, and spoke.
