In fact, it did have a noticeable effect, transforming him from a effeminate cross-dresser into a handsome blond man. He put in countless hours of effort. However, the fusion with dragon blood caused a significant increase in his physical abilities, ultimately rendering all his efforts futile. Fortunately, he didn't revert to his previous effeminate appearance and is currently in the pretty-boy phase.

His dream of becoming a muscular hunk was shattered, and he was forced to live the life of a refined young man.

However, despite saying that, Roya actually seemed to be enjoying it a bit.

Shinobu Kocho and Giyu Tomioka, who were watching the show from afar, were inexplicably caught in the crossfire. The two looked at each other in bewilderment, and Giyu Tomioka spoke first: "Roya killed the demon all by himself. I didn't help at all."

Sanemi Shinazugawa wore a displeased expression and continued in an arrogant tone, "If Upper Moons were so easy to kill, there wouldn't have been no change of rank for a hundred years. You're telling me he killed two Upper Moons by himself last night, one of whom was Upper Moon Three? Do you think that's a funny joke?"

Luo Ya raised an eyebrow. "You know what, what they said actually makes a lot of sense."

Chapter 133 Conflict and Lessons

If we shift our perspective, based on the power levels in this world, it would actually be very difficult for a Pillar to defeat an Upper Moon. This generation of Pillars is quite strong, but even so, it would still take two or even three to defeat an Upper Moon, especially someone like Upper Moon Three who has already entered the top three.

Despite saying that, Roya was still quite annoyed at being questioned on the spot. Roya looked at the other party expressionlessly and said, "What? Want to try? See if I can kill an Upper Moon?"

Sanemi Shinazugawa revealed a ferocious smile. Sanemi Shinazugawa's temper was not good to begin with, and he was considered the worst among all the Pillars. He reached out to grab Roya's collar, but Roya dodged him expressionlessly.

Obanai Iguro, standing behind them, remained silent, his cold, heterochromatic eyes fixed on the two of them. After a brief pause, he said, "Why don't you two give it a try first?"

Obanai Iguro's implication was that he also wanted to test Roya's abilities.

Luo Ya raised an eyebrow, secretly clicking his tongue. He was such an easy-going person, yet he was challenged by the two of them right away. If he didn't teach them a lesson, he would lose face.

Obanai Iguro suddenly said, "I heard your Nichirin Blade is broken?"

Roya nodded and said, "It's alright, my fists are pretty powerful too."

After saying that, he showed off his arms, which didn't have much muscle.

Obanai Iguro glanced at Roya and nodded.

Luo Ya also realized that these pillars were basically all problem children: three were cold-hearted, and one was irritable and angry.

Shinazugawa Sanemi grinned, revealing his sharp teeth, and said, "What's wrong? Scared?"

Roya glanced at Shinazugawa Sanemi and Iguro Obanai and said, "Don't say I'm bullying you, let's all come at each other?"

Engoku Kyojuro's previously cheerful expression suddenly turned extremely serious. He stepped forward, intending to block the three of them, and looked up at Ubuyashiki Kagaya, saying, "My lord, aren't you going to stop them?"

Kagaya Ubuyashiki paused for a moment, glanced around, and noticed that most of the Pillars had curiosity in their eyes. Kagaya Ubuyashiki then said, "Well then, let's have a competition. Let me see the strength of this Sound Pillar."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki's words served as a wake-up call for everyone.

Sanemi Shinazugawa sneered, "The Sound Hashira, huh? No wonder you're so arrogant. But, kid who just joined, you probably don't understand the Demon Slayer Corps's status."

Roya said bluntly, "Are you going to fight or not? Both of you come at me together."

Shinazugawa Sanemi was enraged by Roya's words, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and his beast-like eyes seemed to want to devour Roya.

Roya waved his hand and said, "So, shall we begin?"

Obanai Iguro nodded, and the white snake hanging around her neck flicked its tongue.

Without further ado, Shinazugawa Sanemi charged directly at Roya. He didn't use his sword, even though almost half of the Demon Slayer Corps' fighting strength came from Nichirin Blades. Since the opponent didn't have a Nichirin Blade, he couldn't use his own weapon.

Even if you win using weapons, there's nothing to be proud of.

Even though Shinazugawa Sanemi didn't intend to use a weapon, Obanai Iguro had already touched the Nichirin Blade.

Unlike Shinazugawa Sanemi, Obanai Iguro had heard of Roa's exploits.

When he killed Upper Moon Three, his Nichirin Blade broke. He then threw away the Nichirin Blade and beat Upper Moon Three with his fists, making him question his existence.

Regardless of how strong Upper Moon Three is, Roja's strength is undeniable simply because he can physically confront an Upper Moon.

Obanai Iguro was indeed curious about Roja's strength and wanted to test his level, which is why he made a few probing remarks. However, this does not mean that Obanai Iguro would underestimate his opponent.

Therefore, even if the opponent has no weapon, Obanai Iguro intends to use his Nichirin Blade.

His hand unconsciously touched the Nichirin Blade hanging at his waist. Obanai's Nichirin Blade was a curved, serpentine double-edged blade with a purple body and a serpentine pattern engraved inside the round tsuba.

Obanai Iguro's breathing technique, along with his swordsmanship, is like his Nichirin Blade, allowing the sword's path to curve like a snake. It is precisely because of the precision of his swordsmanship that he possesses the unpredictable and fluid nature of snake breathing. Only by honing his skills to the limit can he easily traverse narrow gaps and deliver a "winding" strike.

Unfortunately.

He underestimated Roya somewhat.

The instant Shinazugawa Sanemi charged toward Roya, before Obanai Iguro could even draw his sword, Roya had already grabbed Shinazugawa Sanemi's wrist. Shinazugawa Sanemi was also taken aback by Roya's speed.

Then, in the next moment, everything spun around him, and an irresistible force pulled him directly. This force was so great that he did not have the option to resist. He suppressed his surprise and stretched out his right hand to smash it towards Roya's face.

Just as Shinazugawa Sanemi was about to make a move, a hand grabbed his outstretched left hand in advance, and the powerful force pulled him directly, slamming him hard towards Obanai Iguro's position.

Obanai Iguro's expression showed a moment of astonishment. He had thought that Sanemi Shinazugawa would be defeated, after all, Sanemi Shinazugawa's forte was actually breathing techniques, and his own qualities were definitely not comparable to Roya's. But he did not expect that the other party would be defeated so quickly.

Obanai Iguro cursed Sanemi Shinazugawa under his breath, took a deep breath, and prepared to use his breathing technique to dodge Obanai Iguro before launching another attack on Roa.

But when Obanai Iguro dodged Sanemi Shinazugawa, his expression froze.

The opponent had already disappeared from the spot, and Obanai Iguro, having lost his target, began to look around.

The snake hanging around her neck suddenly turned its head, flicking its tongue.

Obanai Iguro suddenly retreated backward, using his Nichirin Blade to block. At the same time, Roya appeared behind Obanai Iguro and threw a punch at him.

The powerful force caused Obanai Iguro's blood to churn. Even though he managed to protect himself and block the punch at the most crucial moment, it still made him feel uncomfortable for quite some time.

At this moment, Roya was surprised. He looked at the snake hanging around Obanai Iguro's neck and seemed to be deep in thought.

After Obanai Iguro was punched away, Sanemi Shinazugawa, who had been thrown into the corner, stood up again.

The two fighters made many moves, but in reality, it all happened in a single instant.

The speed was so fast that even the pillars could only see a blurry afterimage of Roya.

Sanemi Shinazugawa, clutching his arm, roared at Roya, "You bastard, don't look down on people!"

Roya turned around curiously to Shinazugawa Sanemi and asked, "I didn't look down on you. Who provoked me first?"

Sanemi Shinazugawa choked for a moment, but then continued to roar, "Show me your full strength! You've been holding back a lot, haven't you?"

Roya smiled, took a few steps forward, and stared intently at the other person with his crimson-gold pupils. As he walked, Roya said, "Are you sure?"

The next moment, Roya's figure disappeared from the spot, and Shinazugawa Sanemi's pupils suddenly shrank, and he kicked hard behind him.

But the kick missed.

A half-smile appeared on Roya's handsome face as he said, "I'm here, aren't I? Young man, you still need to practice more. You can't kill an Upper Moon just like that."

The scene shifted again, and everything changed. Shinazugawa Sanemi was once again lifted up by Roya and slammed hard onto the ground.

Of course, Luo Ya didn't use much force; he only temporarily incapacitated his opponent. After all, it was just a friendly spar, and there was no need to be so ruthless.

Sanemi Shinazugawa looked at the blue sky and white clouds with a somewhat bewildered expression.

The sparrows in the courtyard trees were chirping away, and Shinazugawa Sanemi's fierce expression calmed down.

After dealing with Shinazugawa Sanemi, Roya walked towards Obanai Iguro and said to him, "Your snake is quite interesting, but you can't keep up with my speed right now, can you? Even with your snake tipping you off."

Obanai Iguro fell silent. He was the kind of person who didn't talk much. Finally, he nodded and said, "You are very strong. I am not as good as you."

Sheathing his sword, Obanai Iguro accepted his defeat wholeheartedly. There's no shame in admitting defeat when you can't win.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki nodded, a smile appearing on his slightly scarred face. He addressed the crowd, saying, "Now, I'm sure everyone understands the strength of the Sound Pillar."

The eight people present looked at each other, and except for Sanemi Shinazugawa, who was lying on the ground, they all nodded.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki spoke in a gentle tone, his words always carrying a natural sense of approachability. Just by opening his mouth, he dissolved the slightly tense atmosphere around him.

Luo Ya stepped forward, walked to the corner, helped Shinazugawa Sanemi up, and gave him a bright smile, asking, "Are you alright?"

Shinazugawa Sanemi snorted coldly, did not take Roja's outstretched hand, and struggled to stand up from the ground.

Luo Ya wasn't embarrassed. He withdrew his hand, smiled, and greeted everyone: "My name is Luo Ya. I hope we can get to know each other in the future."

The other eight Pillars softened their expressions considerably and nodded to Roya, acknowledging his strength.

Rengoku Kyojuro waved to Roya with great delight and said, "Handsome young man, your strength is surprisingly high. We must have a spar sometime!"

Roya nodded.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki coughed, interrupting the conversation. He looked around at everyone and said calmly, "I'm sure you all know what happened when I called you here. Yesterday, two Upper Moons, whose positions hadn't changed in a century, disappeared all at once. It's astonishing that in the last two hundred years, countless people have died at the hands of the Upper Moons. One Pillar after another has fallen, yet even so, no one has been able to kill an Upper Moon. But now, the appearance of the Sound Pillar has given us hope, hope of killing Muzan."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki paused for a moment, then continued, "This is good news. We have gained a more powerful swordsman, while the other side has lost two Upper Moons, one of whom was Upper Moon Three. I believe that in our generation, we can resolve this grudge that has lasted for thousands of years."

The pillars present all wore expressions of excitement. In truth, everyone present was deeply affected by the evil spirits.

Ghosts and monsters don't think too much when they eat people; over hundreds of years, this has successfully created one tragedy after another.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki gave everyone time to react and digest the situation before addressing them again: "However, this incident has escalated quite a bit. Muzan Kibutsuji will definitely take action, and it's time to strengthen security in the coming days. As Pillars, you are all top swordsmen of your respective breathing styles, and we've been fortunate to have you all lately."

Then Kagaya Ubuyashiki took a thick book of documents from his wife and began to explain to everyone the locations where the demons had recently appeared.

Currently, the Pillars are mostly discussing issues such as the areas where demons appear, Muzan's current location, Muzan's movements, the next generation of Pillars, and the overall discipline and power balance of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Roya scratched his head. Apart from the location of Muzan Kibutsuji, which he was somewhat interested in, he wasn't very interested in the others.

In reality, the positions of Muzan Kibutsuji and the Twelve Demon Moons are constantly changing, and only one direction can be determined. The most useful information is only one piece of information.

That is the [Infinite City].
