Chapter 223 Muzan, blown into a bullfrog
Although we haven't seen the so-called Demon Slayer Corps appear yet, since they have been able to fight against such monsters for thousands of years, they must have their own unique abilities.
"Demons, Demon Slayer Corps? They've been active for over a thousand years? How come I've never heard of them?" Tsunade said, her brows furrowed.
Historically, the Senju clan has existed for hundreds or even thousands of years. They have been active in the ninja world for many years, know many secrets of the ninja world, and have even been participants in many of these secrets themselves.
However, they had never heard of ghosts before, which was very strange.
Tsunade shared similar doubts with Itachi Uchiha, who also came from the prestigious Uchiha clan and had never heard of demons or the Demon Slayer Corps.
However, Kitahara Kaede had already written it down in her diary, so it was clear that it really existed, but it had never attracted their attention before.
However, they were all determined to start keeping an eye on this heretical force after today. In any case, the cannibalistic demons mentioned in Kitahara Kaede's diary were definitely not the same kind of people as them.
What Ubuyashiki and Muzan Kibutsuji said next shocked everyone. It turned out that this scumbag boss named Muzan was also from the seemingly weak Ubuyashiki clan.
"You... may not know, but you and I actually share the same lineage. However, you were born more than a thousand years ago, and now our bloodlines are quite different."
"Because our clan produced a monster like you, the entire clan was cursed. Infants born were weak and sickly, and died young. When our clan was on the verge of extinction, a priest enlightened us; evil spirits appeared in the same bloodline."
You must devote your efforts to destroying him, so that your clan will not be wiped out. Therefore, our clan has married women from the priestly clan generation after generation, and infants are no longer prone to dying young.
Even so, no one in my clan has ever lived to the age of thirty!
"This ghost was actually a human in disguise?"
The thought popped into everyone's mind: no wonder he looks like a human.
"So, this ghost has been able to live for thousands of years because it plundered the fortune of its own kind?"
Jiraiya muttered to himself.
He thought of Orochimaru. Sure enough, anyone who wants immortality will eventually pay a terrible price; the only difference is who pays that price.
Such a price is simply too terrible.
However, this obviously could not move Ubuyashiki, and he did not acknowledge that the curse of the Ubuyashiki clan had anything to do with him, because he had lived for thousands of years without ever truly seeing any gods or Buddhas, and he had never suffered any divine punishment, even though he had killed hundreds of people without ever being punished.
He neither wanted nor cared about so-called divine punishment!
However, when Ubuyashiki analyzed that all the demons would disappear if he died, he was slightly moved. His heartbeat, which he thought would not change at all, suddenly quickened.
So he resolved to kill the Demon Slayer Corps' lord!
Just as he was about to take action, the pillars scattered in various places, led by the crows, began to rush towards the Ubuyashiki residence.
"Emergency call to action! Emergency call to action! Ubuyashiki residence under attack! Ubuyashiki residence under attack!"
One by one, the powerful pillars rushed frantically toward the Ubuyashiki residence.
"That's the Demon Slayer Corps?"
Minato Namikaze paid close attention to the people rushing towards him.
Furthermore, in a quick assessment, there were no traces of chakra on the body, but the speed was incredibly fast, much faster than the reaction speed of an average person.
Each of them exuded an aura comparable to that of a Jonin.
As for breathing techniques and such, he couldn't discern much from them yet.
Just as he was pondering how these pillars could save their lord from the crisis, the entire Ubuyashiki mansion was instantly reduced to ashes in the video, a truly terrifying sight.
This was a change that no one had anticipated.
The terrifying power made one's eyelids twitch; one wondered how many explosive tags must have been buried underneath to achieve such an effect.
If it were him, he wouldn't need to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport; he would be blown to ashes in an instant.
Ninjas are, in essence, just human beings.
"Is he... using himself as bait?"
In a moment of shock, Minato Namikaze understood everything.
This explosion was definitely not caused by Muzan, but by the lord of the Ubuyashiki family.
Obviously, if the Demon Slayer Corps, which has been fighting against demons for thousands of years, were to reveal its location, it would be attacked by the Demon King. Based on this assumption, Ubuyashiki buried countless explosives underground, intending to eliminate Muzan in one fell swoop.
This is what it means to risk your life for something!
He planned everything, and he sacrificed everything as bait. He himself was going to die, his wife was going to die, and the two women were going to die with him.
What incredible courage and determination!
The expressions on the faces of the others also changed drastically. They all realized that this was a trap, a trap designed to kill the Ghost King in one fell swoop.
If they had been hit by that blow, they probably wouldn't have escaped death either.
They might not even have time to use ninjutsu; it starts with zero frames without any warning.
After all, no one would doubt that someone who could die at any moment would have such a ruthless backup plan.
All the pillars could only watch from afar as the mushroom cloud of the explosion rose, their faces showing expressions of disbelief and shock.
Is this the end of the matter?
Everyone stared intently at the video. Judging from the contents of Kitahara Kaede's previous diary, it probably wouldn't end so quickly.
So they saw Muzan, who had been blown into the shape of a bullfrog, still alive amidst the flames. Even more terrifying, his severed limbs were slowly healing, and he roared in the darkness.
"Uyashiki!"
Only then did he realize that Ubuyashiki had risked his entire family's lives to save him, even blowing his wife and children to ashes. Judging such a man by ordinary human standards was simply too naive.
This is not a normal human being at all.
Although he had already considered that Ubuyashiki would set a trap, he never expected that the trap would be so outrageous.
For those reading the diary, the next scene was the most terrifying: even if Muzan was killed by the explosion, he kept regenerating and might not even die at all.
How do you defeat such a monster?
In particular, Tsunade's proud Yin Seal is utterly insignificant compared to this monster named Muzan.
It didn't take long for him to recover and he had already begun to take on a human form.
Muzan also realized that Ubuyashiki's backup plan had not stopped at all, and there must be more to come.
Suddenly, at that moment, the flesh seeds floating in the air transformed into iron thorns that pierced through Muzan and even immobilized him.
Everyone saw that his head had been pierced through, yet he was still alive; he was an absolutely terrifying monster.
In terms of combat strength, he may not be that strong, but in terms of recovery ability, even these well-informed Konoha ninjas have never encountered anything like him.
In the scene, Muzan tries to figure things out, but in an instant, Tamayo uses her invisibility Blood Demon Art to rush in front of him, and even accidentally absorbs the medicine that Tamayo developed that can turn demons into humans.
Through the conversation between Tamayo and Muzan Kibutsuji, everyone learned that those demons also possessed an ability called Blood Demon Art.
This ability is clearly the most powerful aspect of these ghosts.
And when they become ghosts, they even eat their closest loved ones, and countless others, just to survive.
At that moment, the Stone Pillar charged forward wielding his massive chain hammer, like a helicopter, and smashed Muzan Kibutsuji's head to pieces with a single blow.
It was an injury far more deadly than the previous explosion, yet everyone saw him miraculously regenerate in an instant, his head growing back.
"We must keep this guy in a place where the sun can shine, and keep him there until dawn."
The words of the Rock Pillar Himejima Gyomei solved a mystery: these ghosts, just as they had guessed, were indeed afraid of sunlight. And the key to unlocking this weakness was most likely the blue spider lily specifically mentioned in Kitahara Kaede's diary.
However, this blue spider lily actually grows under the sunlight, so these ghosts have been unable to find it for a thousand years.
"Blue spider lily?"
Tsunade wrote down the name, preparing to secretly mobilize people to search for it.
Such a monster cannot exist in this world. If this thing is beneficial to the ghosts, then it must be destroyed and not fall into the hands of the ghosts.
At this moment, the other pillars in the scene also arrived. Faced with the scene that had been blown to ashes, everyone was dumbfounded and furious.
They thought that Muzan Kibutsuji had done something unforgivable to their master.
After a brief moment of surprise, the other pillars immediately activated their breathing techniques.
"Breath of Mist, Fourth Form!"
"The breath of insects, the dance of butterflies!"
"Snake Breathing, First Form!"
"Love Breathing, Fifth Form!"
"Water Breathing, Third Form!"
"Wind Breathing, Seventh Form!"
"Hinokami Kagura, Yangka-tsu!"
All the Pillars present were frantically using their breathing techniques, rushing towards Muzan Kibutsuji from all directions.
Just as he was about to reach the front, he suddenly lost his footing and fell into the Infinite City.
Meanwhile, the Demon Slayer Corps members who had not yet received the news nearby suddenly found themselves trapped in the Infinity Castle.
"Space-time ninjutsu?" Minato Namikaze paused for a moment, then immediately shook his head. "This isn't a space-time ninjutsu, it's... a space-time Blood Demon Technique, right?"
Minato Namikaze recalled the conversation between Tamayo and Muzan Kibutsuji, where they mentioned the power of demons called Blood Demon Art.
