Chapter 206 One Man Shakes Nine Pillars!

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Kagaya Ubuyashiki then began to explain the main reasons for convening the Pillar Meeting ahead of schedule.

"The reason for convening this Pillar Meeting ahead of schedule is that there is an important matter to announce. If nothing unexpected happens, the era of demons will come to a complete end in the next few months, and all demons, including Muzan Kibutsuji, will be completely eliminated during this period."

"The purpose of summoning everyone here today is to begin a special training camp. You—will become the strongest Demon Slayers in the history of the Demon Slayer Corps!!"

Kagaya Ubuyashiki abruptly changed the subject, his voice shifting from its initial kindness to a deep and authoritative tone.

Similarly, his words still had an inspiring effect, directly causing all the Pillar-level swordsmen present and the three main characters to feel a sinking feeling in their hearts.

This feeling of being trusted is overwhelming, but it also foreshadows an impending storm.

The situation might be more serious than they thought; it seems like they're about to have to fight Kibutsugu Muzan to the death!

They were not afraid to die, but no matter what, they could not let their lord die first!

Because—they should have been dead, but their lord gave them a second life.

"My lord, Muzan Kibutsuji has already shown himself, hasn't he?" After pondering for a moment, Gyomei Himejima guessed this possibility and asked in a deep voice.

These words immediately sounded an alarm in everyone's hearts, putting them into a state of high alert.

It's all because of that damn guy that the world is in such chaos. Once he shows up and we kill him, everything will be back to normal!

Evil spirits will be completely eradicated!

If it really is Muzan Kibutsuji, then that explains why Kagaya Ubuyashiki summoned them all so urgently.

"I've been waiting for this day for so long!! Let me cut off that guy's head with my own hands!!" Shinazugawa Mina looked like a madman, the killing intent and rage in his eyes almost tangible.

It is conceivable how astonishing his rage towards Muzan Kibutsuji was.

"Although you're always impulsive, we're surprisingly on the same page this time." Giyu Tomioka rarely agreed to Minamoto Shinazugawa's suggestion. Since Muzan Kibutsuji had taken the initiative to show himself, they naturally couldn't miss this opportunity.

It's time for the Demon Slayer Corps to finally settle their thousand-year-old feud with these demons in their generation.

"It seems the final battle has arrived, which is quite unexpected. However, I have been preparing for this day for a very long time! As long as my lord gives the order, I will give everything I have!!" Uzui Tengen declared once again.

Those who have returned from the brink of death have no fear of death, only the destiny to slay evil spirits.

Even death is nothing, as long as it can bring peace back to the world.

"Is the final battle already? I'm so nervous—I'm not ready at all—" Kanroji Mitsuri was quite startled by the sudden tense atmosphere and was completely flustered.

She was different from the other Demon Slayer Corps members. The others were either harmed by demons and ended up being the only survivors. She was different; she had everything, and everything was still intact.

The reason she joined the Demon Slayer Corps was simple: to find a husband who could accept her.

If she loses this final battle, she will lose everything.

But as a Pillar-level member of the Demon Slayer Corps, she could not back down.

"Don't worry, we'll take care of everything." Obanai Iguro noticed Mitsuri Kanroji's emotional fluctuations and reassured her.

"Mmm." Reassured, Kanroji Mitsuri nodded repeatedly, her restless heart calming down.

【Muzan—you finally have news—! !! ! ...

His family members all died at the hands of Muzan Kibutsuji, and he encountered Giyu Tomioka while carrying his sister down the mountain, and was later brought to the Demon Slayer Corps.

On the recommendation of the Demon Slayer Corps leader, he was assigned to train under the former Water Pillar and eventually passed the Demon Slayer Corps' test.

He still remembers the hatred of his family being massacred.

"Are we finally going to have a big fight?! Let's go and chop that guy down right now!!" The fearless Inosuke was full of excitement. Not yet aware of his own background, he just wanted to seek thrills and cause a ruckus.

"Oh my god—I'm just a Rank C swordsman, not even a Pillar-level swordsman, and now I'm participating in a battle of this level?! No way! I'm not even married yet!!!" Zenitsu, the least timid of the three, was almost in despair.

Despite being just a child, he seemed to have gone mad, frantically searching for his other half.

But after thinking about it, it does seem like it's time, because in the Demon Slayer world, living to 30 is considered a long life, and the best years of one's life should start from the age of 14.

At this moment, Kagaya Ubuyashiki observed the reactions of all the Demon Slayer Corps members around him, and shook his head with a light laugh.

"Children, you're too tense. Relax. Muzan Kibutsuji hasn't appeared yet. Even if it really comes to the final battle, you won't be in any danger."

"I promise, I will not lose any of you again."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki once again unleashed his soothing voice, instantly calming the restless spirits of all the Pillar-level swordsmen.

It quieted down.

"Then, my lord—what is the true purpose of this summons?" asked Himejima Gyoumei.

Since someone has asked the question, there's no need to hide it anymore.

"Since its inception, no one in the Demon Slayer Corps has ever killed an Upper Moon demon. On the contrary, our Pillars have suffered heavy casualties. Therefore, I asked a friend to help us solve this predicament."

"He—can enable your strength to improve dramatically in a short period of time. For the next few months, you will all stay here for special training to enhance your strength."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki stated his purpose directly.

This meeting of the pillars is to inform all pillars to prepare themselves mentally for a comprehensive intensive training session!

"A group training session between Pillars?" Gyomei Himejima was surprised. He had considered countless possibilities for holding a Pillars meeting, but he never expected that this Pillars meeting would be a large-scale training session!

However, he always felt that this so-called large-scale training camp was probably a bit unreliable.

Firstly, it takes time; secondly, once the human body has been strengthened to a certain extent, it becomes very difficult to make further progress.

He had a deep understanding of this; once the body had reached its peak through cultivation, it was almost impossible for it to evolve again.

"A large-scale training camp?! This is unprecedented and so exciting!!! But if we all train here, and a sudden demon appears in another place, the other swordsmen might be in mortal danger." Retsugoku Kyojuro changed from his previous cheerful and lively demeanor to a deep and serious one.

Compared to the other pillars, he clearly considered more.

"Train all of us? Does such a person really exist in this world?" Shinazugawa Mina raised an eyebrow, looking quite puzzled.

Who are they? Pillar-level swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps!

Are there beings in this world who can rival Pillar-level swordsmen?

It is no exaggeration to say that they are the pinnacle of human combat power!

And if such powerful beings truly exist, why didn't they act sooner and wipe out all these evil spirits?

Why did they have to wait until now to show up?

"The Great Training Camp—the person in charge of training us and making us stronger is the one who restored your body, my lord, right?" The meticulous Shinobu Kocho immediately guessed the cause and effect of the matter.

This meeting of the Pillars was probably convened after Kagaya Ubuyashiki and that mysterious person had discussed it.

"My lord, do you think that the intensity of our battles with the demons is not as great as this special training?" Obanai Iguro expressed his dissatisfaction.

Each of them, a Pillar-level member, crawled out of piles of corpses and experienced countless life-or-death battles; otherwise, they could not have become the highest-ranking Pillar-level members.

Instead of having them undergo intensive training to improve their strength, it would be better to let them continue hunting demons. After all, combat is the most effective way to improve strength.

"My children, fighting demons is certainly a way to increase your strength, but teetering on the edge of life and death for a long time means you could lose your lives if you're not careful. I've said it before, I can't lose any of you."

"I know that some of you have doubts about that person's identity, believing that he doesn't have the strength to train you."

"I won't force you, but please make your decision after you've seen that person in person."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki didn't intend to explain too much, but rather to show these arrogant brats what a true top-tier powerhouse is!

These words dispelled the concerns of all the pillar-level swordsmen present, and also aroused their curiosity: who exactly was this powerful figure who could earn the lord's trust?

Is he really that powerful?

"Thump thump~! Thump thump~! Thump thump~!!!" Suddenly, a terrifying heartbeat, as deafening as muffled thunder, came from the room behind Kagaya Ubuyashiki.

The entire Demon Slayer Corps headquarters was enveloped by the deafening sound of a heartbeat. The Pillar-level swordsmen who had been hesitant just moments before were all stunned into silence upon hearing the terrifying heartbeat.

"What is that sound? It's so loud!!" Tanjiro Kamado felt as if an invisible hand was gripping his heart, making it difficult to breathe.

"The guy the lord was talking about is coming out. Such a big commotion could only be caused by that person." Zenitsu tried his best to calm his agitated heart, but his body was completely out of control, trembling with fear.

"That sound—it's a heartbeat—" Inosuke, who had lived in the mountains and lived among wild animals for many years, immediately recognized the sound.

There's no mistake, it's the sound of a heartbeat.

"A heartbeat?!" Tanjiro exclaimed in disbelief.

Is it really possible for someone's heartbeat to be as loud as thunder?

Why isn't this going to explode?

"Are you kidding me?! If that's a heartbeat, how big would a heart have to be to produce that kind of sound?!" Zenitsu openly questioned Inosuke, because this kind of thing was completely beyond their understanding of humans.

Or rather—the one making that heartbeat sound is a monster, not a human.

"Are you questioning me, you idiot?! We'll know for sure when he comes out!" Inosuke was incredibly nervous. Having grown up in the mountains, he knew exactly what a heartbeat meant.

The more powerful a beast's physical functions, the more astonishing its heartbeat will be when it moves.

But in all his years of life, he had never heard such a terrifying heartbeat, enough to engulf the entire Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.

What kind of monster is the owner of this heartbeat?

Not only did he think so, but the Nine-Tailed Pillar-level swordsmen not far away were also stunned. Even though they were used to seeing big scenes, they could not believe that someone's heartbeat could reach such an outrageous level.

All the pillar-level swordsmen stared intently at the source of the heartbeat not far away.

In their sight, a burly man with three hideous scars at the corners of his eyes slowly emerged from the shadows.

The newcomer is none other than the strongest hero on Earth, KING!!!

"This is quite a lively scene. Are they all Pillar-level swordsmen?" Ze Feng's gaze swept over all the Pillar-level swordsmen present.

Their eyes met briefly at that moment.

The moment their eyes met, Ze Feng's invisible aura directly stunned all the pillar-level swordsmen present, causing them to lose their composure.

[Is he the source of my heartbeat?! So powerful that it's incomprehensible—even though I'm blind—I was completely stunned the moment our eyes met!!] The strongest Stone Pillar, Himejima Gyomei, was deeply impressed by Ze Feng's imperial aura.

He finally understood why his lord had summoned all the pillar-level swordsmen for a large-scale training exercise.

This man—has the ability to train them!

【This world—does such a monster really exist?!】 Shinazugawa Mina's eyes were wide open, bloodshot, and his body trembled uncontrollably. He struggled to regain control of his body, but to no avail.

Faced with Ze Feng's imperial aura, those who lack strength will immediately lose control of their bodies and will not even be able to commit suicide.

He's so strong—this person is unlike anyone I've ever met before, not even a powerful demon.

There was no way to compare with him. Just one glance was enough for Retsugoku Kyojuro to realize that the gap between his strength and the person in front of him was not just a chasm, but a difference of countless dimensions.

If such powerful individuals were to train them—perhaps the Demon Slayer Corps would truly be different!

[That guy isn't flashy at all, but there's no denying he's really strong. How did you come to know him, my lord?!] All of Uzui Tengen's doubts and dissatisfaction vanished the moment he saw Ze Feng.
