Demon Slayer: The Naruto Hashira is a pure villain!

He drew his Nichirin Blade and stabbed himself in the abdomen with a backhand motion.

"Yayoi!"

Sanemi was so frightened that his soul almost left his body. He reached out to stop her, but he was a step too late for Yayoi.

The blade pierced into flesh, and blood instantly soaked through the clothes.

Yayoi drew her sword without changing her expression and looked down at her wound.

The flesh and blood surged and healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The ghost's self-healing ability is still intact.

"Looks like I'm pretty lucky."

Yayoi chuckled softly, looked up at Sanemi, and said with a hint of relief, "The result is the latter."

They will not turn back into humans, but they will gain the ability to walk in sunlight.

As soon as it gets light, we'll stand under the sun and start a bloody battle against that son of a bitch Muzan. Anyone who doesn't dare to fight is a coward!

"Alright, you three don't need to rush to clear the way."

Yayoi called out to the three people in front of her.

Kaigaku sliced ​​a charging demon to pieces with a single stroke, then turned around, looking bewildered: "Huh?"

What's gotten into my senior sister this time?

Yayoi ignored Kaigaku, took out two of the remaining two blue spider lilies from the bag and put them in her sleeve pocket, then stuffed the rest into Sanemi's arms.

"Take it out and keep it safe. If Tamayo's medicine doesn't work, give some to Nezuko and our mother."

"And what about you? What will you do?"

“Me?” Yayoi raised an eyebrow, her smile arrogant. “I’m the local tyrant of this Infinite City. What are you worried about?”

Without giving Sanemi a chance to speak again, Yayoi gave Nakime instructions in her mind.

The next second, the sound of the pipa suddenly intensified.

Swordsmen fighting demons throughout the Infinite City suddenly felt their feet sink, the world spin, and the howling demons around them vanished instantly.

When they came to their senses, they had already fallen back to the place where they had been pulled into the Infinite City.

"Go outside and wait for me."

"I will go back at dawn."

As soon as the words were spoken, the four of them suddenly lost their footing and were expelled from the Infinite City.

Sanemi reached out to grab Yayoi, but his outstretched hand only brushed against a patch of cold air.

The last thing he saw was his lover standing in the corridor, smiling and waving gently at him.

On the other side, Tengen climbed up the iron chain and stepped back onto solid ground, preparing to take Muzan's life while he was still suffering from Muzan's illness.

Before I could do anything, my vision suddenly went blurry.

The flesh and blood heart that had been beating strangely vanished into thin air.

"Huh?" Tianyuan was taken aback.

With a series of crisp sounds from the pipa, Sabito, Giyuu, Tamayo, and Yushiro disappeared one after another from the opposite platform.

He turned around abruptly, but Xingming had vanished from his side.

"Hello? Senior Himejima?"

Tengen gripped his twin swords tightly, his muscles tense, and he warily scanned his surroundings.

Were they forcibly separated by blood demon magic?

Upper Moon Two and Upper Moon Three are dead, but Upper Moon One and Upper Moon Five haven't shown up yet... Are they going to be defeated one by one?

Before he could figure it out, a dizzying sensation struck him.

When I regained my footing, I was on solid ground, and the familiar sounds of insects chirping and wind were in my ears.

Tianyuan suddenly opened his eyes.

What's going on?

Tianyuan frowned. Before he could turn around, he heard footsteps behind him. Without thinking, he swung his sword back.

"clang--"

The crisp sound of blades clashing.

"Senior Uzui, it's me."

Kyojuro raised his Nichirin Blade to block Tengen's attack, laughing heartily, "Luckily I reacted quickly, I almost got slashed by you, senpai."

"Kyojuro?" Tengen sheathed his sword, somewhat taken aback. "What are you doing here?"

"Hmm! To be honest, I don't know either!"

Kyojuro sheathed his Nichirin Blade, crossed his arms, and said with a serious expression.

Behind Kyojuro, Kanae, Mitsuri, and Kanao walked over together, all three bearing fine wounds.

Akaza's indiscriminate attack during its self-destruction still accidentally injured three people.

"We were too." Kanae smiled gently, her skirt still stained with blood. "After fighting Akaza, we were heading in the direction Muzan was when we were suddenly teleported back."

"Huh? Huh! What happened?!" Mitsuri gripped the hilt of her Nichirin Blade nervously, looking around anxiously. "Why did we suddenly come back? Where's Muzan? Where's everyone else?"

"Don't be impatient." Kanae gently patted the back of her hand. "Wait and see, this should be Yayoi's arrangement."

Chapter 223 Thank you for giving my lover the chance to live.

Before long, figures began to appear around the training ground.

Gyomei, Sabito, Giyu, Kurokichi, Obanai... almost all the Pillar-level swordsmen were brought back, not one missing.

Only Obanai seemed deeply resentful, her voice muffled: "You all went up against the Upper Moons or Muzan, but I was held back by demons who weren't even Lower Moons, and I didn't even see a single Upper Moon."

"Don't say that." Kuang Jin reached out and hooked his arm around Xiao Banai's neck, patting his chest with his other hand to help him catch his breath. "If it weren't for you leading the other team members to clear the obstacles, we wouldn't have been able to concentrate on dealing with the Upper Moon."

"Ihei, you are a great hero to us."

"Don't try to fool me with the same tricks you use on Shinazugawa." Obanai said speechlessly, swatting away Kyoujin's hands that were "making trouble" in front of her.

"Hey~ don't be so stingy." Kuang Jin was not discouraged at all, and instead moved even closer to Obanai.

“Speaking of which, Upper Moon Two is really a tough one to deal with.” Kyojuro sighed and touched his chest. “If it weren’t for Miss Butterfly’s preparation of wisteria poison, I’m afraid both Kubino-senpai and I would have perished there. I still feel a chill in my lungs.”

“Akaza is no simple character either,” Kanae chimed in. “If he hadn’t stopped himself, even if we wanted to win, we would have had to pay a heavy price.”

Everyone chimed in, reviewing their respective battles.

As they were talking, Sabito suddenly looked at Sanemi, who was standing at the edge of the crowd.

The man had his back to everyone, and a low-pressure atmosphere surrounded him.

"Sanemi, how's it going on your end?" Sabito walked over, his tone grave. "Upper Moon One is definitely much stronger than the Second and Third, right? How did you handle it?"

Sanemi didn't turn around or say anything; he just squeezed the oil paper package even tighter.

After a long pause, he responded softly, "Yes. The head of Kokushibo that Kaigaku cut off."

"Then..." Sabito glanced at the Pillar-level swordsmen around him, almost all of whom had returned, and his unease grew stronger. "So now, only Yayoi is left to face Muzan?"

Sanemi was silent for a few seconds, then softly hummed in agreement.

Everyone stopped talking, looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock and worry.

One person, against the Demon King Muzan?

How is this possible...?

Ignoring everyone's reactions, Sanemi turned and walked through the crowd, finding Tanjiro dragging Zenitsu toward them.

Zenitsu was clinging to Tanjiro's arm, wailing and sobbing, muttering, "I was so scared, I thought I was going to die," with snot and tears streaming down his face.

Sanemi walked over, grabbed Zenitsu by the back of his collar, pulled him off Tanjiro, and casually tossed him to Kaigaku, who had just walked over.

"Keep an eye on your junior brother."

Kaigaku caught the sobbing Zenitsu, skillfully pinched Zenitsu's mouth shut, and gave the crying coward in his hand a warning look.

Sanemi turned to Tanjiro and handed him the oil paper package.

"Huh? Isn't this the one I gave to Kuwashima-senpai?" Tanjiro recognized it at a glance, somewhat puzzled. "Didn't it come in handy?"

“It’s useful.” Sanemi’s voice was a little hoarse. “Take these and go to Ubuyashiki to ask Nezuko and my mother where they are now.”

"If Miss Tamayo's medicine hasn't fully taken effect, give this to them."

"Okay!" Tanjiro quickly took the oil paper package and carefully tucked it into his pocket. "What about Senior Kuwajima...?"

"She's already used it."

Tanjiro breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, his eyes crinkling with a smile: "That's great! I'm so glad I could help Senior Kuwajima! I'll go find Master now!"

After saying that, Tanjiro turned and ran.

"and many more."

Sanemi suddenly called out to Tanjiro.

"What's wrong, Lord Shinazugawa?" Tanjiro stopped and turned to look at Sanemi with a puzzled expression.

Sanemi stood there, opened his mouth, but only managed to utter two words:

"Thank you."

Thank you for giving my loved one the possibility of survival.

Tanjiro paused for a moment, then scratched his head and grinned broadly.

"It's all about eliminating Muzan, so it's nothing!"

Sanemi watched his retreating figure, remaining silent for a long time.
