Demon Slayer: Muzan, will you dance too?

Regarding the matter of the markings, the only person I could ask was Miss Tamayo. When I saw her again, I briefly explained the changes that had occurred over this period, and the latter could not hide the shock on her face.

Even Upper Moon One has been killed by the Demon Slayer Corps, how unbelievable—Tamayo, who had been in a daze for a long time, couldn’t help but say softly with her mouth slightly open.

"If that's the case, then the next thing to do is find Muzan and kill him completely!"

Given that person's personality, they probably won't reappear anytime soon... Finding them will undoubtedly be extremely difficult.

Muzan has seen swordsmen with the Mark before. Human swordsmen who awaken their Mark later in life are destined not to live past the age of twenty-five.

Even if the current Demon Slayer Corps is still not enough to threaten it, given its cautious nature, it can wait ten or twenty years until Kiyokawa Izumi and his generation of swordsmen die young due to the curse of the Demon Slayer Mark, and then it can re-establish the Twelve Demon Moons without taking any risks.

Will the Demon Slayer Corps be able to come up with a solution at that time?

Will the next generation of swordsmen be able to possess strength comparable to his, or even the Stone Pillar?

Kiyokawa Izumi doesn't have a high opinion of the next generation. It's not that he's overly confident in his own abilities or thinks that the next generation can't compare to him.

If Zenitsu and Inosuke cannot defeat Muzan in this generation, and they do not awaken their Demon Slayer Marks, it would be only natural and inevitable for them to become the next generation of Sound Pillars and Beast Pillars.

Zenitsu has a very high chance of becoming the leader, and might even earn the title of the strongest Pillar of Sound—but this is not a good thing. If ten or twenty years pass, it will be difficult for the Lord of that time to assemble the current lineup.

Zenitsu is strong enough to take on an Upper Moon single-handedly, but he can't deal with people like Doma or Muzan. Perhaps the only hope is that Nezuko, after being turned into a demon, will be greatly improved in a few decades.

Even Kiyokawa Izumi couldn't help but frown at this moment.

Regarding the markings, Ms. Tamayo couldn't immediately offer a solution.

If Kiyokawa Izumi can't think of any other way, and his life is on the verge of ending, he can only rack his brains to find Muzan—only by finding Muzan can he have a chance to fight to the death.

"Mr. Izumi Kiyokawa?"

Seeing that the young swordsman seemed to be in a daze, Miss Tamayo couldn't help but call out softly.

"The blood you provided is very unstable... Your body has also undergone significant changes compared to ordinary humans, both in terms of recovery ability and bodily functions."

Despite her discomfort, Miss Tamayo showed a hint of apology on her dignified and beautiful face—this was a completely new research direction, and even she, with only a cursory study, could hardly make any significant discoveries.

It was just a bit surprising that Kiyokawa Izumi, after activating her markings, showed a very obvious change compared to ordinary humans.

There are research directions, perhaps because excessively high body temperature and a heart subjected to strenuous exercise cause great damage to the body.

Is it possible to develop drugs that inhibit this excessive burning and protect heart function?

Tamayo naturally took Kiyokawa Izumi's request very seriously.

This person truly gave her hope, and only a swordsman as powerful as him could hold out until the sun rose.

If Kiyokawa Izumi were to die young, all plans would fall apart.

I wonder how long, how many years, I will have to wait before I encounter a swordsman as powerful as him again.

The future is uncertain, and whether we can gain the trust of those who come after us is anyone's guess.

Whether out of personal or public interest, Ms. Tamayo did not want Kiyokawa Izumi to die prematurely.

……

After bidding farewell to Tamayo, Kiyokawa Izumi left Senso-ji Temple in a very low-key manner. The little guy he hadn't seen for a long time reappeared on his shoulder, conveying new orders from headquarters to him.

Several demons appeared nearby, and as the closest pillar, he should go to provide support, even though he wasn't in charge of this area.

Kiyokawa Izumi didn't take this task too seriously.

The Twelve Demon Moons are basically all wiped out, so the chances of encountering Doma are slim. Even if he does encounter him, he has nothing to fear.

Muzan will definitely not be able to fill the Upper Moon vacancy in a short time—not everyone is qualified to become an Upper Moon, and ordinary demons may not be able to withstand the large amount of demon blood from the progenitor of demons.

Being expected to become the lower moon doesn't mean it can become the upper moon.

If he were only at the lower moon level, he probably wouldn't even be able to withstand a single strike from Kiyokawa Izumi.

As Qingchuanquan entered the dilapidated temple under the cover of night, his brows furrowed slightly—with such a dense aura, just how many evil spirits were lurking here?

What are they doing gathered here, since they're not social animals?

It seemed as if countless eyes were watching him from the shadows. Kiyokawa Izumi's expression remained unchanged. Just as he was about to draw his sword, his foot suddenly slipped.

The dusty and debris-covered ground seemed to have vanished into thin air. Slightly startled, Kiyokawa Izumi was caught off guard and suddenly plummeted downwards.

By the time he realized what was happening, most of his body had already fallen into the Infinite City.

Unable to find any support and because the incident happened so suddenly, Kiyokawa Izumi was truly unprepared.

"Infinite Castle... This Blood Demon Art is truly troublesome!"
