Infinite: Start as a ghost

Food, medical supplies, base, equipment, human resources, and most importantly, doctors.

They even dispatched a musketeer squad to support the Demon Slayer Corps.

Although muskets cannot kill ghosts, or rather, cannot harm them, they can hinder them.

If you're lucky, hitting a demon's head or legs can cause them a lot of trouble and create many opportunities for the Demon Slayer Corps.

The Musketeer Corps can indeed be a great help to the Demon Slayer Corps.

That night, in the Infinite City.

Kibutsuji Muzan's face was ashen.

"I didn't expect the battle to go so badly, failing to achieve the desired results at all. We didn't even manage to lure out a single pillar?"

Do you have any good ideas?

With a smile, Douma asked, "My lord, do you intend to decide the outcome in one fell swoop, or do you plan for a protracted war?"

"If I want to continue this for a long time, I can use the Blissful Religion to create some unrest among humanity."

Muzan said coldly, "You clearly have so much of my blood in your body, why do you ask such a stupid question?"

"Why ask about a protracted war? Are they killing faster, or are we creating ghosts faster?"

Doma remained smiling, completely unconcerned about Muzan's scolding.

No matter what you say, he will always start by blaming you, and Douma is already used to it.

"Kaigaku, as the demon with the shortest lifespan, you must know humans best. Do you have any ideas?"

Kaigaku's eyes flashed, revealing a strong sense of evil.

"I think we can launch a surprise attack on the trainers, first disrupt their morale, and then catch them off guard."

"Assassinate the trainer?" Muzan thought for a moment: "Hmm, this plan is acceptable. Does anyone have any other ideas?"

Muzan said that, but he only had eyes for the four male Upper Moons, completely ignoring Nakime and Daki.

"Don't you have any other ideas?" Muzan cursed angrily, "You guys are a bunch of useless trash."

Doma stepped forward again: "Master, I think we can concentrate all our forces at one point and engage them in a decisive battle."

"I've just thought about it. A protracted war is indeed not good for us. Their logistical resources will become more and more abundant. It would be better to launch a major attack while their preparations are not yet complete."

After hearing this, Muzan carefully considered the pros and cons.

“No, such an action is too reckless.” He thought for a while, then suddenly revealed an evil smile.

"However, the combination of your two strategies is quite good."

"Kaigaku, since you came up with the idea of ​​assassination, then this matter will be entrusted to you."

"Gyutaro, you and Daki are bound together by life and death, so there's no need to worry about sacrifice."

"On this trip, you will go to the ground and act recklessly anywhere. Your goal is to attract the attention of the pillars and protect Kaigaku."

"If Daki stays in the Infinite Castle, she can be resurrected in your body should Gyutaro die in battle."

"Doma, go and mobilize your Paradise Cult and immediately disrupt the human world."

"Half-Tengu, go and monitor Pillar's movements. Report back to me immediately, and don't get caught."

"Yes, Master." The group accepted the task in unison and each used their movement techniques to leave Muzan.

As Nakime played her biwa, the door to Muzan's room slowly closed, separating him from the other demons.

Inside the clinic...

The four completed their training for the day, and Jiang Jiu praised them repeatedly.

Zhu Shi appeared worried.

"Are you worried about the fighting situation in various places?"

"Ah."

"Leave it to the Demon Slayer Corps, trust the Demon Slayer Corps," Jiang Jiu said. "We have no other choice but to wait for Muzan to take the bait."

Tamayo said, "Why haven't you gone to find him yet?"

"Forget it," Jiang Jiu said. "I've figured it out. Since he's going to do that, he won't admit it even if I go over there. Why embarrass him?"

"Sigh, whatever you want." Tamayo sighed, then asked, "By the way, why haven't you been training lately?"

Even if you are highly skilled and far superior to others, you cannot be arrogant and complacent. You must not neglect your daily practice.

Jiang Jiu explained with a smile, "I don't practice cultivation because I'm lazy, nor because I'm arrogant."

"It's because I've already reached the point where I can't go any further."

"My breathing technique has reached a perfect level, and my sword skills are also perfected. There really is no way to make me stronger."

Then he silently added in his mind, "If there is one, then we can only rely on the system."

"Who are you trying to fool?" Tamayo clearly didn't believe him and rolled her eyes at him: "There's no such thing as swordsmanship that can't be improved? I think you're just being lazy."

Jiang Jiu shook his head and smiled bitterly; there was really no way to explain this.

His ancestral-level breathing technique has already surpassed Yoriichi Tsugikuni by a level, so how could he possibly advance further?

He has reached the end of his path in the world of Demon Slayer.

Chapter 118 Three Masters Battle Kaiyue

a few days later.

"My lord, an extremely powerful demon has suddenly appeared at the front line. Our members have suffered heavy casualties, and even the top- and second-rank members have not been spared. We suspect it is an Upper Moon demon," someone in the Hidden Squad reported to Kagaya.

"So, Muzan has finally shown his true colors." Kagaya said calmly, "He's doing this simply to divert our attention and fighting strength."

"Tengen," Kagaya called out.

“My lord, I am here.” Yu Sui Tianyuan immediately knelt on the ground.

“Among the nine pillars, you are the fastest. Go and check on the situation,” Yaozai said.

"Yes……"

"Remember, don't get bogged down in battle; focus on observation," Kagaya said. "The opponent is an Upper Moon, so be extremely careful."

"Don't worry, my lord," Tianyuan said with a smile. "We already have experience fighting against the Upper Moons, so we can assess their strength."

"The gap shouldn't be too big. The other side is just sending out a distraction to confuse us. Their ranking can't be very high."

“Yes.” Kagaya agreed, “That’s true, but we must be careful and not let our guard down.”

"Yes," Yu Sui Tianyuan replied, "I will certainly not disappoint my lord's expectations."

In the darkness, Uzui Tengen is about to face that same opponent from the original story once again.

Although the other party was not a brother and sister, the main characters did not participate.

No matter how much Kagaya schemed, he could never have imagined that Muzan would target the trainers.

At this moment, Kaigaku was on his way to Momoyama.

"Heh, since you're going to make a scene, let's make it a big one." Kaigaku chuckled wickedly, "Will the Demon Slayer Corps be enraged enough by the former disciple killing his master? How big of a commotion will it cause?"

"Hahaha."

At this moment, on Peach Mountain.

Kuwashima Jigoro was looking at the chessboard in front of him with a worried expression, while Urokodaki Sakonji waited patiently without saying a word.

Makijuro, who was standing to the side, could hardly contain himself anymore.

He has a fiery temper, and playing chess is something he hates the most.

"Hurry up and go! What are you waiting for?" he complained. "The sun is almost setting and you still haven't finished walking."

"You think I don't want to leave?" Sangdao was also impatient: "Then tell me how to leave, which step is allowed?"

Urokodaki watched the two arguing and smiled without saying a word.

Since everyone has stepped down from their frontline positions, we haven't had many opportunities to get together.

Giyu left shortly after his confinement ended because he was going to participate in the Pillar Training.

He was bored, so he suddenly had an idea to play chess with the old man on Sang Island.

Makijuro was acting on Zenitsu's request.

Zenitsu was still a little uneasy after leaving Momoyama. Mount Sagiri was too far away, but the Flame Pillar Dojo was closer to headquarters.

Moreover, once he left, Sangdao was all alone.

So I asked Makijuro to keep Kuwajima company and, while he was at it, to keep an eye on him so he wouldn't do anything foolish.

The main characters stayed at the Flame Pillar's dojo for a period of time that was neither too long nor too short—a few months.

So, all things considered, they had some connection and were able to persuade Makijuro to come.

What touched Makijuro the most was Kaigaku's story; he told Makijuro everything, and now Makijuro was also worried about Kuwajima.

One of them had a fiery temper, and the other was impatient. When they first started getting along, they almost came to blows several times.

Until Urokodaki arrived.

Urokodaki is gentle and best suited to mediate between the two, so the three of them have managed to get along to this day, albeit with some difficulty.

Strangely enough, Kuwashima is an impatient person, but he loves chess very much, and I don't know why.

"Hey, which step are you taking?" Makijuro asked anxiously, "Oh dear, how are you walking?"

"Come down, come down." Sangdao was also quite annoyed.

Urokodaki was extremely annoyed; they had argued countless times in this one round alone.

“I don’t want to, it’s your turn now,” Makijuro said.

He really didn't want to face Urokodaki; he'd be completely crushed.

"Then shut up!" Sangdao yelled. "Can't you just stay quiet and stay to the side?"

"If you hurry up, of course I won't say anything," Makijuro shouted. "You take ten minutes to think about each move. Two hours isn't even enough for one game. Who can wait for you?"
