Fox Demon: Heaven rewards diligence; I will eventually achieve divine mastery of martial arts.

Moreover, he found the other party's indifferent attitude and his habit of consuming women disgusting.

"How terrifying! Lord Akaza is truly..."

Before he could finish speaking, Doma's voice abruptly stopped, and his upper body seemed to have been smashed to pieces by something.

Akaza clenched his fist and stared coldly at the other person.

The shredded flesh slowly coalesced, and Douma returned to human form. Facing Akaza, who had blasted him apart with a single punch, he still wore a smile on his face:

"Are you calmed down now?"

Hearing Doma's irritating voice, Akaza once again felt the urge to punch him to death.

Just then, an inexplicable pressure descended.

Akaza suddenly looked up and turned to his left.

There he saw a figure dressed in a kimono with a dagger at his waist, sitting quietly with his back to him.

"Quiet……"

His calm yet powerful tone revealed his imposing presence, like a mountain, as if he had always stood there.

"Lord Muzan has arrived..."

Upper Moon One, Kokushibo, slowly stood up, his six terrifying eyes rising to look up at the sky.

Without a word, everyone looked up.

A tall, imposing figure stood upside down on his head as if weightless.

"Daki died at the hands of the Demon Slayer Corps, leaving a vacancy in the Upper Moon."

Muzan Kibutsuji's calm and collected words were like a torpedo thrown into a still pond, leaving everyone in shock.

"How could this be? Little Daki is dead?"

Doma reacted the most, a look of astonishment appearing on his extremely handsome face.

The scene of turning her into a demon more than a hundred years ago is still vivid in my mind, but I never expected that the news of Daki's death would come many years later.

"He is a young member of the Demon Slayer Corps who possesses incredible speed and seems to have mastered a strange power."

"Kibutsuji Muzan said coldly. In the next instant, he was upside down and appeared on a high platform. His indifferent eyes finally looked at the ghosts in front of him.

"What I hate most is change and the unknown. I no longer have any expectations for you."

His crimson eyes shifted, making it impossible to discern his thoughts, yet even so, an invisible aura of terror pressed down upon the hearts of all the ghosts.

The ghosts were terrified.

"I noticed you were quite relaxed before you came. It seems your years as Upper Moons have made you complacent."

Kibutsuji Muzan snorted coldly, and the oppressive aura in the air intensified.

The ghosts present felt as if a huge boulder was pressing down on their hearts, and their breathing became difficult.

"Whether it's Ubuyashiki or the 'Blue Spider Lily' I requested, you haven't given me any news."

"You have disappointed me greatly."

The word "disappointment" once again escaped Muzan Kibutsuji's lips.

Immediately, even the weakest of the two, Half-Heaven Dog and Jade Pot, began to have difficulty breathing.

Half-Heaven Dog's face was filled with extreme fear as he said:

"Lord Muzan, I have obtained preliminary information about the Ubuyashiki family. Please give me some time, and I will definitely bring you good news."

Kibutsuji Muzan stared coldly at his opponent, let out a cold snort, and his oppressive aura vanished instantly.

"I want to hear truly good news. If it doesn't work out, you might as well just die."

"As for that Demon Slayer Corps boy, Akaza and Doma, I order you two to kill him the next time he makes a move."

Akaza and Doma were shocked, realizing that Muzan Kibutsuji was now truly enraged.

Muzan Kibutsuji turned around, and the many doors opened wide as he stepped inside.

As he advanced, the gates closed one after another, but a voice reached Akaza and Doma's ears:

"If we can't kill it, then let it die like the Half-Heaven Dog."

With Muzan Kibutsuji's aura completely gone, the demons were finally able to catch their breath.

The dog was still crying, terrified.

"Lord Muzan, sob sob sob."

Half a day later, he spoke to Yu Hu:

"Lord Yuhu, why don't we join forces? That would surely satisfy Lord Muzan even more."

"Very well, since Lord Muzan gave me a new life, I should do my part."

Yu Hu nodded, but the fear in her eyes had not yet subsided.

When Muzan Kibutsuji gets angry, he truly possesses a power that makes one's blood tremble.

"In that case, I will come to find you after I leave the Infinite City."

Half-Heaven Dog nodded, and a portal appeared behind him. Half-Heaven Dog walked into it and instantly disappeared.

The jade pot also fell into a wide-open doorway and disappeared.

As for Doma and Akaza, they are still arguing:

"I never expected that Lord Muzan would make me cooperate with you this time. It's truly disgusting."

Akaza still makes no attempt to hide his dislike for Doma.

"I'm sorry, but this is an order from Lord Muzan, so let's cooperate and live up to Lord Muzan's expectations."

Doma spread his hands and laughed as if joking.

Akaza snorted in dissatisfaction, but since Doma had brought up the formidable figure of Kibutsuji Muzan, he naturally wouldn't refute anything.

Instantly, a portal appeared behind him, and he stepped out and disappeared into the Infinite City.

Doma looked up at Kokushibo above and said:

"Lord Kokushibo, in that case, I shall take my leave."

Kokushibo nodded slowly.

Doma also disappeared through a portal.

Only Kokushibo remained seated in the Infinite Castle, until the heavy sound of the gates closing rang out, and his figure disappeared.

…………

"So, you're saying you killed Upper Moon Six?"

Kagaya Ubuyashiki's face showed surprise just as Tanjiro Kamado revealed that the demon he had killed was Upper Moon Six.

"Of course, I have no reason to lie to you."

Tanjiro Kamado nodded.

Meanwhile, Uzui Tengen, who was sitting to the side, also slightly opened his mouth.

He never expected that Tanjiro Kamado would defeat Upper Moon Six in such a short time.

Although he could easily kill the Lower Moon demons, it didn't mean that the Upper Moon and Lower Moon demons were that much stronger.

Or rather, the difference in strength between the upper limit and the lower limit is enormous.

Throughout the Demon Slayer Corps' many years of records, numerous Pillar-level swordsmen have died at the hands of Upper Moon demons.

The other Pillar-level swordsmen present—Shinobu Kocho, Gyomei Himejima, and Muichiro Tokito—all showed expressions of emotion.

Just as Uzui Tengen had thought, they naturally realized the strength of the Upper Moons.

The important thing is not that Tanjiro Kamado killed the Upper Moon demon, but how fast he killed it!

too fast!

According to Shinobu Kocho and Tengen Uzui, the entire process of finding and rescuing the wounded, and then rushing to the battlefield, took less than an hour, during which Tanjiro Kamado killed the enemy.

Gyomei Himejima believed he could fight against an Upper Moon demon, but he didn't think he could kill it so quickly.

Suddenly, Himejima Yukimura remembered what Kamado Tanjiro and Shinazugawa Sanemi had said during their battle.

"...I only used thirty percent of my strength..."

He looked up at the calm-faced Tanjiro Kamado and suddenly realized that Tanjiro might not have been lying before. (End of Chapter)

Chapter 274 The plan continues, luring the snake out of its hole.

"This matter must be widely publicized within our Demon Slayer Corps."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki snapped out of his daze, unable to hide his excitement.

For hundreds of years, before the Breathing Techniques were invented, humans were constantly hunted by demons. Only after the Breathing Techniques were invented were humans able to barely fight the demons to a standstill. However, no one has been able to find the Upper Moon demons and Muzan Kibutsuji.

In his area, a young boy emerged who slew an Upper Moon demon.
