Infinite: Start as a ghost

These monsters didn't hold Jiang Jiu back for long; he wiped them all out with a few swings of his sword.

Although the time was short, it was enough for Muzan and the Upper Moons to regroup.

For the next period of time, Jiang Jiu was in great discomfort.

Nakime kept changing his position, while Muzan and his group prepared their moves in a room, waiting for Jiang Jiu to be teleported over.

Then, the moment Jiang Jiuyi appeared, all sorts of attacks came at him, and he was sent away by Nakime in the very first moment, totaling tens of thousands.

This made Jiang Jiu feel powerless and frustrated.

After a while, Jiang Jiu gradually adapted to the situation and came up with a way to deal with it.

That is to remain unchanged in the face of all changes.

He stood still, assumed an attack stance, and waited for the crowd to appear in front of him.

"Blood Demon Art: The Tree of Incessant Karma..."

A familiar voice came, and just as Jiang Jiu was about to draw his sword, he realized that the attack was coming from the ground.

He had to change his pace and temporarily alter his sword moves.

"Water Breathing, Form Nine, Water Flow and Spray..."

He immediately slashed at Zeng Potian from the side.

However, they did not linger in the fight, retreating after a single strike, and Jiang Jiu's knife missed its mark once again.

But he was not discouraged at all, because he had already gotten used to this situation.

He found it troublesome, and so did Muzan and his group.

They dare not even pause for a moment, but how easy is it to kill Jiang Jiu with just this?

To kill him, they would have to cut off his neck, but how could they possibly have such a brief opportunity to strike?

Unless they have an incredible stroke of luck, they are just waiting for that luck; there's no other way.

As Jiang Jiu fought for a long time, he became more and more familiar with the situation and his response speed became more and more agile.

Each counterattack was faster and more ferocious, causing everyone to complain bitterly.

But they had no choice; this was their only chance, and they had to go all out, otherwise Muzan would have escaped long ago.

Suddenly, Jiang Jiu felt that the time interval between the attacks was a bit long.

Just as he was feeling a bit strange, the walls separating the rooms around him suddenly collapsed, and attacks came at him from all directions.

"Hmm... you've changed tactics?" Jiang Jiu laughed. "That makes sense, otherwise, if we had continued with the previous methods, we would have suffered losses very quickly."

"They're probably afraid that I'll actually kill Douma, hehe."

The others can use special methods to ensure their survival, but Douma cannot. He relies entirely on his physical body to fight, and if he dies, he is truly dead.

"A smart choice."

Jiang praised them again.

This gave Jiang Jiu a lot more time to prepare and to sense the other person's presence.

He then used spatial perception while the transparent world was open.

"I see."

Jiang Jiu revealed a strange smile once again.

The attack came again, and Jiang Jiu blocked it once more.

"Blood Demon Art: Mad Demon..."

"Stripes activated."

"Blood Demon Art O Evolution (Stage 1)"

This time, Jiang Jiu is determined to seize the opportunity and achieve his goal in one fell swoop.

The enemy changed tactics again; their time intervals became very strange, sometimes lasting up to ten minutes without launching an attack.

"As I expected, things will change again."

"After a few times, they'll suddenly appear in front of me, trying to scare me, right?"

"Hehe, as long as you dare to come, the outcome will be pretty much decided."

The constant changes now fail to stir any emotion in Jiang Jiu's heart.

Before long, the opportunity he had been waiting for arrived.

Sure enough, they suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Jiu, preparing to catch him off guard.

Jiang Jiu, having used "Blood Demon Art: Mad Demon," reacted much faster.

Instead, the "Blood Demon Art O Evolution (Stage 1)" startled the others, causing them to react a beat slower.

"Beginning Breath, Ending Style, Sun, Moon, Earth..."

Jiang Jiu roared, and a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from his body.

Nakime's expression changed drastically: "Oh no, the lord and the others haven't reacted yet."

As she spoke, she immediately activated her Blood Demon Technique, attempting to relocate them.

However, she suddenly realized that Jiang Jiu's attack was actually aimed at her.

"Pfft..."

As the blade flashed, Nakime's body was instantly cleaved into pieces.

Chapter 142 The End of the Road

"what?"

Muzan was prepared to be killed, but he didn't expect Jiang Jiu to attack Nakime.

How did he find Nakime's location?

"Oh no, run!"

Without Nakime, their greatest asset has vanished.

Having lost their ability to transform space, they also completely lost the courage to face Jiang Jiu.

A hint of resentment and determination flashed in Muzan's eyes. He was going to leave the city and forcefully devour Nezuko.

Even escaping is difficult now, but at least there are still a few Lower Moons who can hold him off. If he loses this opportunity, his hundreds of years of hard work will be destroyed.

Thinking of this, he abandoned several of his subordinates.

Seeing that Muzan had escaped so easily, Jiang Jiu immediately launched an attack, slashing at the other Upper Moons.

With a single move, all the Upper Moons were cut into several pieces.

Doma was very lucky; his neck was just a hair's breadth away from being completely severed.

After finishing off the enemies, Jiang Jiu did not continue to pursue them, but instead rushed towards the location of Nakime at top speed.

He had to be certain that Nakime was dead, otherwise this opportunity would be hard to come by again.

Ignoring the Upper Ranks' rout, he ran towards Nakime at an incredible speed.

Upon arriving at the destination, they discovered that Nakime was indeed not completely dead and was in the process of recovering her body.

And unexpectedly, it was discovered that Daki was the same.

Fortunately, the instrument in Nakime's hand was completely destroyed; otherwise, Jiang Jiu couldn't guarantee that she would be able to continue using this troublesome ability.

Without giving her any further chances, Jiang Jiu delivered the final blow, completely extinguishing her life.

Villains die from talking too much, and heroes can also fall apart if they talk too much; he knew this all too well.

Then, he killed Daki with another slash and used his spatial perception again to locate Muzan.

However, spatial perception can only tell you whether there are people in a certain direction, but it cannot distinguish who is in a certain place.

The reason he was able to find Nakime's location was because the Upper Moons who attacked him earlier and Muzan had been staying together, and Nakime and Daki were together.

After a while, he noticed a figure running upwards, reaching the edge of the Infinite City gate.

Jiang Jiu immediately confirmed that it was Kibutsuji Muzan.

He was the first to run away. Who else could be closest to the door at that moment?

So he straightened up and chased after them as fast as he could.

"Thunder Breathing, Seventh Form, Fire Thunder God, Divine Thunder..."

This is the fastest of all breathing techniques, and Zenitsu Agatsuma was able to achieve the fastest speed among the Nine Pillars by using this technique.

In Jiang Jiu's hands, it is even more powerful and faster.

However, Muzan, being a master above the nine Pillars, should not be underestimated in terms of speed.

Jiang Jiu was delayed twice, and it was too late no matter what.

Muzan finally escaped from the city.

"Blood Demon Technique - Blood Burst".

That's Nezuko's voice, Nezuko's Blood Demon Art.

They were already waiting at the door for anyone who might be missed.

Nezuko's Blood Demon Art was not intended to attack Muzan; those waiting above knew it was useless.

Therefore, her blood had already stained the blades of several men, and she was waiting for the city gates to open so that she could unleash her Blood Demon Art, turning the other three men's Sun Wheel Blades into Crimson Blades.

Zenitsu launched the first attack with "Thunder Breathing, Seventh Form, Fire Thunder God, Divine Thunder".

Muzan was completely stunned by the attack.

Immediately afterward, Giyu Tomioka and Tanjiro followed up with their attacks.

"Sun Breathing Ox Form: Radiant Grace..."

The name of the technique Tanjiro mentioned has changed; it is no longer Hinokami Kagura, but has been officially changed to Sun Breathing.
