I will attack as a player!

Chapter 21 Muzan decides to hold his own.

Is it the sixth moon?

In the original work, this handball demon also claimed to be one of the Twelve Demon Moons when it appeared, but that was the result of being deceived by the scumbag boss. The handballs it produced with its Blood Demon Art were at most powerful, and its strength was not necessarily stronger than that of "Kyoukai," the former Twelve Demon Moon who was expelled.

What Chu Wuji cared about most was not the handball ghost with twice the number of hands in front of her, but the arrow ghost that appeared with her.

Although Arrow Demon appeared alongside Handball Demon in the original work and died early, his Blood Demon Art is incredibly sinister. The eyes on his hands can release an invisible arrow with each blink. This arrow can exert a huge force in the direction of the arrow on any object it touches. In a sense, if developed properly, its potential is no less than that of some Upper Moon demons.

Thinking takes only a moment.

With his near-mastery level Lightning Pursuit Step activated, Chu Wuji's hand blade appeared in the original spot of the Handball Demon as if by teleportation, its movement rubbing against the air and producing a sound like silk tearing.

Just before being hit, Handball Ghost suddenly shifted a distance to the side and stared blankly at Chu Wuji, who had appeared beside him, sweat dripping from his forehead.

"You dodged it?" Chu Wuji seemed completely unconcerned that the enemy was standing just a step away to his side. He withdrew his thrusting hand and simply stood there.

The handball demon standing to the side was breathing rapidly, but he didn't dare to attack.

The human in front of me is too fast. At this distance, making a rash move will only result in death.

In the distance, from a tree outside the collapsed wall, came a disgruntled click of the tongue: "Is that the new Pillar?"

There stood a stubble-haired demon dressed in monk's robes, with prayer beads around his neck.

Corresponding to his tightly closed eyes, his arms were covered with countless eyes, each containing the characters "下伍" and an arrow-shaped pattern.

"This is the first time I've encountered a Pillar... but no human can survive my attack."

He smiled slightly and extended his arms, crossed:

"Crimson Arrow - Wild Dance!"

With a soft "thud," all the eyes on Arrow Demon's arms closed.

At the same time, Handball Ghost also revealed a smile, and immediately planned to take the opportunity to widen the distance.

She knew her partner's moves very well; barring any unforeseen circumstances, the person before her would explode like fireworks...

Wait a minute, why am I still in the same spot?

The handball player realized something was wrong. He had clearly put force into his feet, so why wasn't he moving?

No, my body... I've lost... sensation?

Coming to his senses, the handball ghost realized that his head had been twisted off by the man in front of him and was being held in his hand.

The body with twelve arms tilted forward with a forceful stomp, and blood gushed out under high pressure, splashing onto its partner.

"How could it not work!" Arrow Ghost, who should have been suffering from mysophobia, was completely oblivious to the blood on his body and stared at Chu Wuji's location with a look of horror.

His Crimson Arrow had clearly pierced through the man in front of him. Logically, the man should have been torn to pieces by the force from different directions.

But he only blushed slightly, and then, as if nothing had happened, he swiftly chopped off his partner's head with a chop!

"Impossible! Unleashed Dance!"

Under the pressure of fear, the Arrow Demon refused to acknowledge the reality before him, and the eyes on his arms opened and closed frantically.

In his vision, countless red arrows shot out, swirling towards Chu Wuji like a blooming flower.

In the past, swordsmen who were hit by this move all turned into flowers of flesh and blood, blooming magnificently before dying.

However, the expected scene did not occur this time. Chu Wuji once again turned into a blur and disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he had another head in his hand.

Behind him, Arrow Demon's body was covered with lightning-like cracks, and he collapsed helplessly.

"I almost got killed by this idiot."

Chu Wuji still fell into empiricism, thinking that the Arrow Ghost could only act in one direction at a time, just like in the original work.

Fortunately, he has a strong physique; he only lost 9% of his health after taking a hit, and he recovered in a few days.

The Twelve Demon Moons are clearly beings closer to Muzan, and such test subjects would inevitably be able to glimpse more of the true nature of the Demon King Muzan.

As Chu Wuji thought about how he was one step closer to perfect ghost transformation, he couldn't help but hum softly. He quickened his pace, using a knife to slash the two ghosts' eyes and eardrums, then stuffing pebbles in to prevent regeneration.

----------

Inside the Infinite Castle, Muzan, who was feeding with his tentacles, suddenly opened his eyes, a look of confusion flashing across his face.

"The two Lower Moon demons who attacked the Demon Slayer Corps are dead."

This was within Muzan's expectations.

Although this new batch of Lower Moons is far superior to the previous Lower Moons in terms of both blood and abilities, if they encounter a Pillar, they will only make the Pillar a little more miserable.

The unexpected thing was the people these two lower moons encountered this time.

There's no mistake, that person is definitely the nightmare that has been appearing in my mind lately, that strange swordsman who was killed and forced to split apart and escape even though I couldn't even see his sword swing!

But how could it be so weak?

Whether it was being struck by the Blood Demon Art: Crimson Arrow, or the speed at which he plucked the heads of the two demons, neither of these was the strength that person should possess.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that the person at this moment is probably not much stronger than a Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps!

Why?

Muzan's thoughts raced wildly, and the bizarre discrepancy between reality and memory made him bite his nails.

Was he injured? Or did something happen that he didn't know about?

Or perhaps he wasn't that strong to begin with?

"impossible!"

The wound was still throbbing, and Muzan immediately dismissed his last thought.

"So you're injured?"

The moment this thought arose, Muzan's lips involuntarily curled into a smile.

So... I don't have to hide until I die like I did in Yoriichi's time in Tsugikuni, but can take revenge myself?!

We don't even need to use the original "ghost swarm" tactic anymore?

Awesome! Awesome!

Muzan couldn't help but tremble.

Is this a simple opportunity for revenge? No.

For Muzan, Chu Wuji is now like a substitute for Yoriichi Tsugikuni, offering double the enjoyment of revenge.

When Muzan came to his senses, he was already standing in front of Nakime, about to give the order for her to take him to Chu Wuji.

But just before he was about to speak, Muzan suddenly stopped.

"Wait... I almost lost control of my emotions!"

Muzan then remembered a terrifying detail—Chu Wuji killed the two demons not with the Nichirin Blade, but with his bare hands!

"No...this is a trap!"

Muzan felt a wave of fear wash over him; he had almost walked right into a trap. Fortunately, he realized it in time and hadn't let his emotions control him.

"Nakome, temporarily shut down the Infinity Castle."
