Infinite: Start as a ghost

"Water Breathing O Fourth Form: Tide Striker..."

Yiyong's attack followed immediately.

Although their attacks couldn't do much damage to Muzan, their downward strikes knocked him back into the city.

"You...you're all awful!" Muzan roared incessantly, a sense of powerlessness rising within him.

At this moment, Jiang Jiu also caught up.

He grabbed Muzan by the neck and stared at him coldly.

A chill ran through Muzan's heart.

Although his self-healing ability makes him almost immune to any slashes, for some reason, when facing Jiang Jiu, he always felt that he might die there, and always felt that Jiang Jiu had some special way of killing him.

His intuition has always been very accurate; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to evade the Demon Slayer Corps' pursuit time and again over a thousand years.

At that moment, the other Upper Moons arrived and launched their attacks.

Not going out is not an option; going out offers a glimmer of hope, while not going out leaves no chance at all.

They weren't doing this out of loyalty, but because if Muzan died, they would all die too.

Faced with certain death and a sliver of hope, they knew how to choose.

At this moment, even the resurrected Daki made her appearance.

If Muzan dies, her and Gyutaro's infinite regeneration will be a joke, and hiding will be pointless.

Jiang Jiu sneered: "I knew you would do this."

"Secret Technique: Star Breathing, Ninth Form: Star and Moon Intertwined..."

This time, Jiang Jiu used almost all her strength, showing no mercy whatsoever.

With the combined effects of several status effects and incredibly powerful moves, several ghosts were instantly annihilated, making it irrelevant whether or not their necks were severed.

Aside from the timid demon who was not yet killed, even Daki and Gyutaro were both killed in one move, with no possibility of resurrection.

Chapter 143 Peace and Prosperity

Just after Jiang Jiu killed the other demons, when he turned back to look at Muzan, he found that Muzan's body was expanding violently.

"Huh?" Jiang Jiu was taken aback: "Are you... preparing to self-destruct?"

Then he let out a wicked laugh: "Go ahead and try to see if you can succeed."

"Secret Technique: Star Breathing, Ninth Form: Star and Moon Intertwined..."

Under the transparent world's perspective, Muzan Kibutsuji's five brains and seven hearts are fully exposed.

Jiang Jiu destroyed them all with a single move.

Although it can't kill him, it can prevent him from using any of his abilities.

Seeing his brain and heart destroyed, Muzan Kibutsuji's incredulous gaze was filled with deep despair.

Jiang Jiu bit down on Wu Can's neck and sucked his blood.

Ignoring Muzan's constant screams, Jiang Jiu focused on the continuously purifying demon blood within his body.

65%……70%……75%……80%……85%……90%……95%……100%；

The moment he reached 100%, Muzan Kibutsuji was instantly shrunken.

In that instant of withering, Muzan lost his life force, and the arriving Zōhaten also turned to ashes at the same time.

"Ding... Congratulations to the host for completing the achievement: Fighting Alone."

"Ding... Congratulations, host, you have received a reward: Blood Demon Art O Evolution (Stage 2)"

"Ding... Congratulations, host, you have obtained the power of the Ghost Ancestor: Blood Seed"

"Ding... Congratulations, host, you have obtained the power of the Ghost Ancestor: Transformation."

Upon hearing the system's voice, a hint of doubt flashed through Jiang Jiu's mind.

The phrase "fighting alone" implies that he was the only demon left fighting a difficult battle. But Nezuko, Tamayo, Yushiro, and Chachamaru were also demons. They did not disappear with Muzan's disappearance. So how did they accomplish such a feat?

Could it be because their lineup is on the Demon Slayer Corps' side?

He silently asked the system in his mind, but the system did not give him an answer, and he could only guess at the possible reasons.

There are only two reasons he can think of: one is that the people he thought of belong to the Demon Slayer Corps, and the other is that they broke away from Muzan's control and were treated as a new type of demon in the third camp.

Regardless of the reason, the system determined that he had completed the achievement, which is generally a good thing.

everything is over.

For the Demon Slayer Corps, and for all of humanity, it's all over.

Jiang returned to the ground and told the others about Muzan.

Giyuu's usually indifferent face instantly lit up with ecstatic joy. Tanjiro and Zenitsu hugged each other, so excited they almost cried.

Nezuko looked at the three who had suddenly gone mad for some unknown reason with a strange expression, feeling curious.

A few days later, the group returned to headquarters and told Yaozai about it.

Even Yaozai couldn't maintain his usual gentle and refined demeanor, and excitedly wandered around.

Kagaya used the Chain Crow to order everyone to return to the south, where the battlefield had ended a few days earlier with Muzan's death.

When Jiang returned to her residence, Tamayo had already returned early, ever since Doma had run away.

Tanjiro also told Tamayo the good news, and Tamayo was very happy.

In short, no one was unhappy; everyone was in an extremely excited atmosphere.

Tamayo sighed, "Is it all finally over?"

Jiang Jiu smiled and said, "Yes, it's all over. We have no regrets anymore."

Tamayo said, "No, it's not over yet."

Jiang Jiu asked curiously, "Is there anything else?"

"There's one last thing," Tamayo said with a smile. "I need to finish the medicine that turns demons back into humans. I need to turn all of us back into humans."

Jiang Jiu chuckled and uttered a prelude: "What, are you tired of living?"

Tamayo looked sad: "I'm tired of living. If it weren't for Muzan, I would have gone down to join my husband and children long ago."

At this point, Jiang Jiu showed a slightly embarrassed expression, not expecting that a joke would make the atmosphere so awkward.

Yushiro exclaimed excitedly, "Miss Tamayo, what will I do if you go down there?"

With an apologetic look on her face, Tamayo said, "I'm sorry, Yushiro, although I'm also very reluctant to part with you, I really can't hold on any longer."

Yushiro remained silent; he had no reason to stop Tamayo, nor did he feel he should.

All I can do from now on is accompany her through this.

A few days later, Jiang Jiu suddenly had the idea to practice his skills with Tanjiro.

"You haven't mastered one more move of Sun Breathing, have you?"

"Hmm, I can't comprehend the thirteenth form. Would you like to teach me, Mr. Oni?" Tanjiro laughed. "But I think it's unnecessary now."

“Why not?” Jiang Jiu laughed. “This is your family’s heritage, and you should carry it on properly.”

Using this excuse, he severely injured Tanjiro and sent him to the Butterfly Mansion.

Kanao and Shinobu have been very busy these past few days.

In addition to treating numerous wounded, he also had to find time to visit Kanae's cenotaph.

Therefore, Tanjiro lived in the Butterfly Mansion for a long time.

Jiang Jiu found Pig Head again and said he would give him a chance to challenge himself, and beat him severely, which made Pig Head shout repeatedly in anger.

After some time, Tanjiro and Kanao developed feelings for each other, and Inosuke also found his other half.

Jiang Jiu watched this scene with satisfaction; his goal had been achieved.

As for Zenitsu and Nezuko's marriage, Kangju did not interfere.

Does this even need intervention?

Zenitsu wished he could dissolve himself into Nezuko's body and cling to her every day. He didn't need to meddle in her affairs at all.

Muzan was defeated, all the demons were defeated, and the biggest point of conflict between Kagaya and Jiang Jiu was also eliminated.

Yaozai took the initiative to find Jiang Jiu and apologize to him.

“I should be the one apologizing,” Jiang Jiu said. “Back then, I failed to see through your heart and misunderstood you.”

Yaozai said, "That's why I should apologize to you. This so-called misunderstanding was something I deliberately made you understand."

Jiang remained silent...

Yaozai laughed as he said, "I just didn't expect that in the end, it would still be up to you to solve things, so I should not only apologize to you, but also express my sincerest gratitude to you."

He bowed deeply to Jiang Jiu.

Jiang Jiu did not refuse and accepted his thanks.

Then he asked, "What are your plans for the future of the Demon Slayer Corps?"

Kagaya said, "The Demon Slayer Corps exists to deal with demons. Now that the demons have been eliminated, there is no need for us to continue existing."

Jiang Jiu glanced at him: "Including me, there are five other ghosts."

Kagaya said, "It doesn't matter. You'll all become human sooner or later anyway. Tamayo and Shinobu are researching drugs for that purpose."

"Once all the injured members of the Demon Slayer Corps have been healed, I will gather everyone and announce the disbandment of the Demon Slayer Corps."

"And then?" Jiang Jiu laughed, "The Demon Slayer Corps has disbanded, so what should be done about their fate?"

Chapter 144 The Final Mission

"Them?" Yaozai laughed. "From now on, my family and I will focus on the trade route. They can stay and continue to help me, or they can go their own way. It's up to them."

Jiang Jiu clicked his tongue in admiration: "Your Ubuyashiki clan is truly remarkable. With the entire Demon Slayer Corps having no income, you have supported thousands of people with your own resources. If they all help you now, it's only a matter of time before you become incredibly wealthy."
