Seeing the attack coming from the front, Kanroji Mitsuri's emerald green pupils instantly contracted to their maximum size.
Even though my eyes followed the movements, my body couldn't react in time!
Is this the Upper Moon demon?!
I promised Xia Yanjun I would protect myself, am I really going to die here...?
No!
I've finally found a place to stay! I've finally found people willing to accept me as I am! Ganlu Temple, I can't give up!
Thinking back to how I felt just now!
Make your heart beat faster, make your blood circulate faster! Be faster, be stronger!!!
Kanroji Mitsuri used her breathing technique to the fullest extent, compressing her body to the limit. Due to the powerful breathing, the air around her mouth and nose even visibly swirled like mist.
Just as she felt her physical fitness was improving rapidly and she was about to reach a new critical point, a hand gently rested on her shoulder.
"Okay, stop now, it's all over."
"Because I'm back!"
The familiar tone of voice and the unparalleled sense of security made Kanroji Mitsuri unconsciously lower her guard.
Without the pressure of the breathing technique, the heart rate and blood flow gradually decreased.
At the same time, as if by divine punishment, hundreds of dazzling bolts of lightning descended from the sky!
Like a natural disaster that broke out without warning, the intense blue-white light stimulated the retinas of every witness!
And right at the center of the disaster was where Natsuhiko and Kanroji Mitsuri were!
Despite facing a situation several times more dangerous than before, Kanroji Mitsuri, who was in Xia Yan's arms, did not feel any danger at all.
It was as if what fell from the sky was not thunder, but insignificant willow catkins or flower petals.
She even had the leisure to look up and admire this rare sight.
"Blood Demon Art: Thunderous Fury!!!"
Rumble, rumble, rumble——
The belated sound waves rolled on, proving the fact that the speed of sound is slower than the speed of light.
A powerful shockwave and the ensuing gale swept past.
Smoke and dust filled the air, obscuring the view inside.
The air was filled with the smell of ozone after a lightning strike, and the lingering electric current flickered intermittently, telling tales of the horror of the disaster.
Chapter 420 Did You Betray Me?
call--
A gentle breeze swept by, clearing away the dust and smoke, and also taking away the acrid smell in the air.
Xia Yan and Kanroji Mitsuri stood unharmed, proving once again the law that smoke can heal.
The air was distorted, and a transparent, flowing barrier could be vaguely seen, keeping the remaining electric currents outside.
The scorched earth with a radius of more than ten meters and the depression more than half a meter below the ground testify to the terrifying power of the hundreds of lightning bolts that just struck, proving that what had just happened was not an illusion.
"Why don't you hide?" Xia Yan raised an eyebrow in surprise as he looked at Mi Li, who had been behaving quite obediently since he appeared.
"Because I'm not afraid."
"Why aren't you afraid?"
"Because Xia Yanjun will definitely protect me, right?"
Xia Yan shrugged noncommittally.
In fact, Xia Yan had been watching from the sidelines for a while. He was already on the scene before Kanroji Mitsuri and Hantengu started arguing.
However, Xia Yan, who possesses the ability to see through the world, can remain undetected by anyone in this world as long as he doesn't appear in front of others.
The reason they didn't act immediately was to see just how far Kanroji Mitsuri could go.
After all, although he had planned out the process of dealing with Muzan, he did not intend to just rush in and kill them all by himself, which was a simple and brutal approach.
At least until he takes care of Kokushibo and Nakime, someone still needs to hold Muzan back.
Only the other pillars could do that.
However, it remains to be seen how far the other Pillars can go, and whether they might not even be able to stop Muzan in a single encounter, thus instead providing him with more energy.
That's why he chose to watch from the sidelines.
After all, it's just an asymmetrical pot. Even if Mitsuri didn't dodge it, he could block the opponent's attack instantly.
This is his greatest confidence!
The results are obvious!
When faced with the first attack after Gyokko's transformation, Kanroji Mitsuri instantly unleashed her full potential.
She herself may not have known, but Xia Yan, who was observing from the side with a disdainful look, saw it all clearly.
At that moment, Kanroji Mitsuri's heart rate also unknowingly reached a frequency of two hundred beats per minute.
The violent beating of the heart accelerates blood flow, causing an abnormal rise in body temperature, which at one point even reached over 39 degrees Celsius.
If it hadn't happened so quickly, lasting only a few seconds, I estimate that the marks would have started appearing on my body much later.
Having realized that Kanroji Mitsuri already possessed the ability to activate her Demon Slayer Mark, Natsuhiko no longer needed to watch.
As the lowest-ranked Pillar, since even Mitsuri possesses the physique to activate her Demon Slayer Mark at any time, it's likely that the other Pillars are in the same boat, basically at the critical point of activating their Demon Slayer Marks.
All that's needed is the concept of white markings.
Therefore, before she could further push her body's potential, Xia Yan appeared and stopped her.
Because now is not the time!
Although the drug research is very close to success, that's how scientific research is; it can progress by leaps and bounds in a day, or it can go for many years without any progress.
If the Pillars awaken their Marks, and by the time Tamayo and Kanae are twenty-five years old, they still can't produce a finished product, which would be a real problem if they dragged this batch of Pillars to their deaths.
"Damn it! Half-Heaven Dog! What are you doing! Have you betrayed us!?"
Just as Xia Yan was refining the details of his plan, a charred pile on the ground let out a powerful roar.
Not far away, a demon with delicate features and two horns on his head stood with his arms crossed in front of his chest.
Although he wasn't particularly tall, the way he looked at people gave off a condescending feeling, as if he were a high and mighty god.
His attire was just like that of Takemikazuchi in mythology, wearing tight-fitting soft armor and a circle of drums on his back, each one inscribed with the character "hate".
The words "upper moon" and "fourth" were clearly written in his scarlet pupils.
It was none other than Hantengu's strongest clone, Zangpo Ten!
Despite having been colleagues for hundreds of years and not having a good relationship, Yu Hu recognized who had caused the attack the moment she was struck by lightning.
Perhaps because he was too emotional, his voice no longer sounded as cheeky as before.
Because his body was completely charred by lightning, he lay on the ground almost indistinguishable from the scorched earth.
In just a few seconds, the charred layer on his body completely peeled off, leaving him exactly the same as before.
Clearly, it did not suffer any actual damage. After all, unless it was exposed to the Nichirin Blade or sunlight, other attacks, even Blood Demon Art, were generally not very effective against demons.
"Do you know the consequences of what you're doing?! Lord Muzan will never forgive a traitor! But that's fine too! This way, my defeat becomes somewhat understandable! Heh heh heh!"
"..."
His only response was the silence of Zang Potian.
If it were the true form of the Half-Heaven Dog, the cowardly demon, upon hearing this explanation, it might have already knelt down and cried out that it had no choice but to do so.
However, the true form of the Half-Heaven Dog is still in Xia Yan's hands, and for Zang Potian, who regards himself as a god, being threatened with his true form is already very unpleasant.
Listening to Yu Hu's incessant chatter, he wished he could just unleash a thunderbolt to shatter the darkness and add to the excitement.
And that's exactly what he did!
dong dong dong dong-
A rapid and continuous drumbeat sounded.
All that could be seen was that Zeng Potian held a strangely shaped hammer in his hand, and his hands became a blur as he swiftly struck the continuous drum with the character "Zeng" on it that he carried on his back.
Rumble-
A muffled sound, so deep it was hard to breathe, emanated faintly from underground, then grew stronger and stronger, turning into a violent tremor like an earth dragon turning over.
More than ten wooden skinks, with only their heads and necks intact, emerged from the ground and rushed towards the jade pot like a swarm of writhing snakes.
"Blood Demon Art: The Tree of Unending Karma!"
"Damn it! You think I'm afraid of you?!"
Faced with the surging attack, Yu Hu roared in exasperation, and his palm flesh writhed, from which two bright red pots with a ring of patterns resembling octopus tentacles grew out of thin air.
Gollum-
A strange, slimy, wriggling sound came from inside the pot.
puff!
From the two narrow spouts, countless thick octopus tentacles defied all logic and tangled with the skinks of the Half-Tengu.
"Blood Demon Art: Octopus Pot Hell!"
Chapter 421 Gods and Buddhas Punishing Evil
bang bang bang-
Countless long, giant objects twisted and collided together, creating a scene reminiscent of a chaotic dance of demons.
However, the tentacles summoned by the jade pot were clearly no match for the stone skinks of the half-tengu, and were quickly torn apart and swallowed by these lizard heads.
Despite having lived together for over a hundred years, the Upper Moon demons have absolutely no affection for each other.
