Chapter 215: Defeating Kokushibo and draining Akaza's demon blood.
A Crimson Blade? No, it only looks like one. The Crimson Blade in Rui's hand is impossible.
Seeing the Nichirin Blade in Li Lei's hand, its surface blazing with red flames and its blade glowing crimson, Kokushibo immediately became extremely vigilant, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
Even if it's not a Crimson Blade, just looking at the visual effects, getting hit by it will definitely not be pleasant.
"Master Kokushibo, please enlighten me."
Li Lei raised his hand to indicate that the elders should go first and asked Hei Simou to make the first move.
Despite Li Lei's refusal, Heishimu did not refuse. He picked up the Bone and Flesh Blood Blade in his hand, activated the Moon Breathing Technique, and unleashed a screen-filling Moon Blade Slash.
Seeing the rapidly approaching attacks that left no blind spots, Li Lei calmly swung his Bloodflame-enchanted Sun Wheel Blade to block them all.
Immediately, his body moved with the speed of a shooting star as he charged towards Black Death, taking a deep breath and shouting.
"Sun Breathing - Form 11: Dragon Head Dance of the Solar Halo"
An advanced move with flame effects, a rapid-fire combo that unleashes a barrage of high-speed slashes, creating a visual effect resembling a dancing fire dragon. It is incredibly powerful and also suppresses the regenerative abilities of demons.
One strike put Kokushibo under immense pressure, making him feel exhausted, almost like Yoriichi.
But Kokushibo knew that these were just remnants of Yoriichi's fear from the Muzan cells within his body.
Feeling the heat wave coming from the blade, Kokushibo dared not be careless and immediately switched from the second stage of transformation to the third stage.
In its third stage, Kokushibo grew over a dozen sword blades all over its body, spinning and unleashing a dense barrage of crescent blades aimed at Li Lei.
"Well done."
Li Lei exclaimed in praise, then his body moved with the blade, transforming into a fire dragon that meandered through the air, charging straight out to meet the countless moon blades.
He then shifted his position and slashed down at the black-faced monster from mid-air.
Realizing that Li Lei intended to finish off Kokushibo, he swiftly dodged with a powerful step, but Li Lei's downward strike was too fast, and several of the sword blades that had grown out of Kokushibo's body were still cut off.
A sword mark more than ten meters long suddenly appeared where Kokushibo had dodged, and at a glance, the sword mark was tens of meters deep.
Hei Shimu didn't dwell on the horrifying scene, as Li Lei had already charged at him again with his sword. He had no choice but to retreat and parry.
The situation became one-sided.
Muzan, through Kokushibo's eyes, saw Li Lei using the Sun Breathing technique, and the blade even turned red and glowed. He instantly sensed something was wrong and wanted to throw Li Lei out of the Infinity Castle immediately.
However, after Muzan communicated with Nakime, he discovered that the Infinity Castle was still there, but the demons were gone.
It was not that such a large, living ghost had disappeared without his knowledge; Muzan immediately sensed that someone was plotting against him.
Without time to think it through, Muzan just wanted to leave the Infinity Castle as soon as possible, but suddenly realized that he had lost control of the Infinity Castle.
Muzan: (T_T)
After he was finished, he couldn't get out of the Infinite Castle. Muzan felt that his escape route had been cut off and was completely dumbfounded.
"Even if it's impossible, he has to break through."
Muzan, unwilling to sit idly by and wait for his doom, activated his battle form, with several sharp bone whips sprouting from his back and darting wildly through the Infinity Castle.
"Where is the exit... Damn it, why is the Infinite City so big?"
Unable to find a way out, Muzan angrily destroyed the surrounding houses.
On the other hand, the outcome of the battle on Li Lei's side had already been decided. Hei Shi Mou was pierced through the heart by Li Lei's sword, and his body and limbs were bound by silk threads. Dozens of shadow spikes emerged from the shadows, immobilizing Hei Shi Mou's body, and several tentacles in the air tightly wrapped around Hei Shi Mou.
The tentacles immediately took root upon enveloping Kokushibo, plunging into its body and sucking its blood.
The Nichirin Blade piercing through Kokushibo burned with flames that restrained demons, preventing Kokushibo from unleashing any attacks.
"Mr. Kokushibo, I won."
Li Lei calmly announced his victory.
Feeling the severe loss of demon blood within him, Kokushibo recalled Yoriichi's words: "There will always be someone stronger than us who will eventually surpass us."
"Yoriichi, you were right this time."
Kokushibo closed his eyes, and his body turned to ashes.
After absorbing Kokushibo's demon blood, Li Lei's strength increased once again. At this point, his power was so terrifying that even Muzan would be afraid of him.
However, Li Lei still didn't go to find Muzan, after all, the best food should be saved for last.
Li Lei snapped his fingers, instantly teleporting Akaza, who was suppressing the Water Pillar Giyu, the Wind Pillar Shinazugawa, and the Flame Pillar Rengoku Kyojuro, to Li Lei's front.
Before Akaza could react, he punched him through the arm, sucking out all the demon blood from his body.
Akaza, who had tried everything to avoid the attack but couldn't, left with a look of shock and satisfaction.
At the moment of death, Akaza remembered everything—memories of his wife, father, and mentor flooded back. On his journey to the underworld, he looked at his wife, who had never left and was waiting for him.
With tears streaming down their faces, they embraced and fell into hell together.
Alright, now comes the final feast: Demon King Muzan. But let's clean the room before we eat.
Having set his goal, Li Lei snapped his fingers, throwing the Demon Slayer Corps members, along with Tamayo and her little follower, out of the Infinity Castle.
Outside the infinite city in the alternate dimension, the people who were thrown out looked completely bewildered.
That's it, our closest chance to defeat Muzan is gone.
"Nezuko, Tanjiro, you—you're here! Thank goodness you're not dead."
Tanjuro looked at his son and daughter beside him, and could hardly believe his eyes. He even stammered.
The reason is simple: Li Lei felt he had overcome the sunlight, and Muzan had become his meal. Tanjiro and Nezuko were no longer of any use, so he threw the siblings out together.
Along with them, Shinazugawa's mother, who had turned into a demon, and her younger siblings were also thrown out. The difference was that these children were in a coma and had a large note attached to them.
"If you want them to return to human form from demons, find Tamayo and Shinobu Kocho."
