Aoki noticed that Muzan Kibutsuji was coughing up blood.
"It seems Lady Tamayo's poison has taken effect."
As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot.
How could he let this opportunity pass?
Aoki's figure flashed, appearing in front of Muzan Kibutsuji.
Bang!
Muzan Kibutsuji was sent flying again. This time, he didn't dare to lose focus, quickly getting to his feet, coughing up blood as he swung his arms, attacking Aoki.
The battle between Aoki and Muzan Kibutsuji suddenly became fierce and bloody.
A dozen long whips danced, and Aoki, not concentrating on defense, frequently suffered wounds.
But Muzan Kibutsuji was in a worse state.
With "Spatial Travel" and "Transparent World," Aoki could easily dodge Muzan Kibutsuji's attacks, while Muzan Kibutsuji was almost helpless against Aoki's attacks.
However, Muzan Kibutsuji, as expected of the Demon King, possessed an incredibly fast regeneration rate, even surpassing Aoki's current speed.
Furthermore, mouths could sprout from various parts of his body, rapidly devouring the flesh and blood near the wounds inflicted by Aoki to restart his regeneration, and at an astonishing speed, seemingly unaffected.
"Devouring Demons" also impacted the demon's overall body.
However, Muzan Kibutsuji's resources were too abundant, and he didn't show any significant signs of weakness for the time being.
Although his attacks weren't particularly impressive, Muzan Kibutsuji's blood was truly thick.
The battle reached a stalemate.
However,
Aoki wasn't in a hurry. His
Level 2 "Transparent World" was unrestricted by time and could be opened and closed at will.
Even if his stamina wasn't as good as Muzan Kibutsuji's, at his current level, he could easily sustain himself for several days.
Time was on his side.
The effects of the aging poison were steadily building, aging Muzan Kibutsuji by six thousand years in just one hour.
At that time, even with Muzan Kibutsuji's physique, his strength will be severely affected.
The effects of "Demon Devouring" continued to stack, and Muzan Kibutsuji's health bar was decreasing irreversibly.
"Cough cough cough!"
Gyutaro lay on the ground, unable to move.
The shockwave he had just experienced was not just a simple impact; it had even disrupted his nerves, leaving his body paralyzed.
Tamayo's figure appeared beside him, taking out a syringe and giving Gyutaro an injection.
"Thank you!"
The paralysis in his body quickly subsided, and Gyutaro immediately got up.
Tamayo quickly said, "Don't move, you need to rest now."
"The battle isn't over yet," Gyutaro said.
Tamayo shook her head: "No! Our battle is over. Now it's up to Aomura Kazuhiko."
Gyutaro looked up.
Sure enough.
All the demons had been cleared away, leaving only Muzan Kibutsuji.
Kanae Kochō walked over.
"Mr. Gyutaro, are you alright?"
"I'm fine!"
Gyutaro shook his head, looking at Aoki and Muzan Kibutsuji, his face still expressionless, but a hint of shock appeared in his eyes.
"So strong!"
Previously, the eight of them had ganged up on Muzan Kibutsuji, but couldn't even get close.
In less than ten seconds, everyone was injured.
Now, Aomura Kazuhiko was single-handedly overwhelming Muzan, who seemed completely powerless.
The contrast was striking.
Kanae Kochō's eyes sparkled: "It seems Aomura Kazuhiko didn't use his true strength when he sparred with us before."
Tengen Uzui, carrying two swords, stood relaxed.
"With the power he's shown now, if he used his true strength, it wouldn't be a spar, it would be a massacre."
Mitsuri Kanroji's face flushed, her hands clasped to her chest: "Aomura Kazuhiko is amazing!"
"Muzan Kibutsuji is also very strong!" Kyojuro Rengoku suddenly said.
Everyone nodded slowly.
Watching Aomura Kazuhiko's heavy fists from afar, they felt a sense of suffocation, completely unsure if they could withstand them.
Muzan Kibutsuji, however, endured punch after punch, each time his body exploding, only to instantly recover.
This incredible physique was equally astonishing.
After a moment of silence, Shinazugawa Sanemi's deep, resolute voice rang out: "I feel I can win!"
The others glanced at him, then turned back to the battlefield, their heartbeats accelerating.
Yes.
Aomura Kazuhiko clearly had the upper hand.
Such a simple situation was obvious to them.
However, they had subconsciously not considered this possibility before.
If Aomura Kazuhiko won, it would mean the end of this thousand-year-long war between humans and demons.
Their greatest dream.
The Demon Slayer Corps' thousand-year pursuit.
Everything would become reality.
This future was too beautiful, so beautiful that they dared not even think about it, fearing to awaken such a beautiful future.
But now, reminded by Shinazugawa Sanemi, they could no longer control their thoughts.
Victory seemed truly within reach! "
Can he make it to the other side smoothly? "
Thud!
Muzan Kibutsuji was sent flying, a huge hole appearing in his chest, his sharp teeth frantically gnawing at his flesh. He landed completely healed.
"You're really tough!"
Aoki sneered. "But Muzan, is that all you're capable of? Just a punching bag for me to smash around like?"
This was a response to his earlier mockery.
Muzan Kibutsuji's face darkened, his heart filled with shock and anger.
He could feel the damage inflicted by the traitors accumulating within him.
If this continued, he might truly die!
The moment the word "death" flashed through his mind, Muzan Kibutsuji clenched his fists tightly, his resolve unwavering.
Yes.
He had no need to entangle himself with these disgusting demons.
As long as he obtained the Blue Spider Lily and overcame the sunlight, he could exist eternally, fearing no one again.
Muzan Kibutsuji's eyes flickered.
However.
Obtaining the Blue Spider Lily wouldn't be easy.
The defector was stronger and faster than him, and possessed the ability to traverse space.
"I have no choice but to take a gamble!"
Muzan Kibutsuji slowly adjusted his angle.
Unfortunately, his subtle movements couldn't escape Aoki's notice, who possessed the "Transparent World."
Aoki was initially puzzled, but seeing Muzan's movement, he immediately understood, a cold smile appearing on his face.
"Finally remembered the Blue Spider Lily, huh? It wasn't for nothing that I left it for you for so long!"
He remained calm, even actively cooperating with Muzan.
Confirming the Blue Spider Lily was behind him, Muzan breathed a sigh of relief.
The first step was successful.
He seized an opportunity, proactively meeting the defector's fist head-on.
But at that moment, Aoki's fist changed direction, smashing towards his head.
Muzan's expression changed.
Dodge?
Then he had to change direction; all his previous efforts would be in vain.
Thud!
Half of Muzan Kibutsuji's head exploded, tumbling and flying out before crashing heavily into the blue sea of flowers.
"Hahaha, it worked!"
Muzan Kibutsuji was overjoyed, but the next moment, his expression froze.
