I will attack as a player!

Chapter 58 Bitter Battle Against Muzan

Kokushibo died, and his death was very mysterious.

Chu Wuji felt that he could empathize with Tomioka Giyuu from the Infinite Castle arc of the original work. His junior brother could smell Akaza's emotions before his death, but he had no idea what had happened. Akaza started attacking his head frantically and committed suicide.

Chu Wuji was in the same boat. He recalled the events several times and came to the same conclusion: he greeted Heishi Mu, and then the other party froze. Suddenly, he launched a zero-frame attack that broke through his protective aura and died inexplicably.

Did he accidentally click to skip the story?

Although he was a little confused, it didn't stop Chu Wuji from enjoying his meal.

I'm only 20 experience points away from leveling up, which is just a matter of killing six or seven ghosts.

Chu Wuji turned around and looked at the crack that was cut by the Black Death Beak, which resembled a canyon. He reached for his waist, and the authentic Old Altar of Mimicry spread out and was placed into Chu Wuji's hand.

Following the breathing pattern and power exertion process of Kokushibo from his memory, Chu Wuji took a deep breath and swung his sword.

The crescent moon formed from condensed true energy fell like raindrops, shredding the already shattered tatami mat beneath their feet.

"Not quite right." Chu Wuji sheathed his sword, choosing not to continue his research.

The compatibility between Moon Breathing and Chu Wuji is too poor. Unless one has immense strength and can send bricks flying, one cannot unleash an attack with the same imposing power as Kokushibo.

Among all the breathing techniques, Thunder Breathing is the most compatible with Chu Wuji. This is partly because Chu Wuji originally practiced Purple Lightning Reverse Yuan, which also contains the concept of "thunder," and partly because Chu Wuji genuinely likes this kind of high-speed combat technique.

Unfortunately, Thunder Breathing has been superseded by Purple Lightning Reverse Element, so there is no need to learn it.

However, there is another breathing technique that is even more compatible with Chu Wuji than the Breath of Thunder.

That is insect respiration.

Insect Breathing also emphasizes high burst damage, but compared to the slashing attacks of Lightning Breathing, Insect Breathing's techniques are all thrusting attacks due to the physical defects of its inventor, Shinobu Kocho.

This coincides perfectly with Chu Wuji's favorite technique of suddenly stabbing someone in the heart!

Therefore, during this period, Chu Wuji was also trying to integrate the techniques of Insect Breathing into his Reverse Yuan Seven Injury Fist, so as to take it to the next level.

After transforming the authentic old jar back into part of his clothing, Chu Wuji was about to leave to continue leveling up when a crow intercepted him.

"This is?"

Chu Wuji reached out and took the talisman from the crow's beak. Having read the original work, he immediately understood that Yushiro wanted to contact him through his Blood Demon Art, so he took it off and stuck it on his forehead.

The moment the talisman was affixed, a subtle spiritual connection began to touch Chu Wuji's spiritual power.

This was the first time he had ever come into contact with tangible spiritual power.

After relaxing and connecting with the talisman, a voice rang in my ears.

"Lord Chu, I am Yushiro!"

"...How many times have I told you not to call me that?"

While researching potions with Tamayo and Shinobu, Yushiro, Tamayo's tagalong, often lingered in front of Chu Wuji. After confirming that Chu Wuji had no interest in Tamayo, Yushiro both despised Chu Wuji's taste and was impressed by Chu Wuji's medical skills. He began to address Chu Wuji as "Lord Chu" like the other members of the Hidden Sect.

Every time Chu Wuji was addressed as Lord Chu, he felt as if he had transmigrated into the body of a wealthy landlord.

Master Chu, Lord Chu.

"This isn't the time to worry about that!" Yushiro breathed on Chu Wuji, then said rapidly, "I've already used genjutsu to control Nakime. I'm going to take you to Muzan's side. Please don't move; I can't hold out much longer!"

"Could you send five or six ghosts to me?"

Although he didn't know what Chu Wuji was going to do, Yushiro still said, "Lord Chu, you have killed all the ghosts that could be found in the Infinite City."

Huh? Really?

He only killed a few thousand demons, and that's it? Is Muzan really that weak?

"I can't hold on any longer."

As soon as Yushiro finished speaking, the tatami mat beneath Chu Wuji's feet shattered with a crash, and a stone pillar immediately propelled Chu Wuji towards the center of the Infinite City.

Go directly there, that's fine too.

Even when Muzan was at his complete form, he was evenly matched with his previous self. Now that his opponent has digested the poison and his base stats have doubled, he's no match for him.

The entire army charged into the demon army's camp, heading straight for Muzan's four-wheeled vehicle!

As the stone pillar moved, Chu Wuji could see the enormous fleshy tumor that Muzan had formed from afar. Crimson energy flowed within the tumor as it throbbed, providing energy for Muzan to decompose the poison.

Without further ado, let's unleash a wave of excitement.

"May Heaven and Earth live as long as we do!"

Muzan, inside the tumor, suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze wide with rage.

"It's you again! And it's that same trick again! What else can you do besides that?!"

Countless black mouths tore open from the tumor, and an invisible shockwave exploded out as well.

But unlike the previous stalemate between the two, this Muzan shockwave didn't even last a breath before it was utterly shattered by Chu Wuji's Heaven and Earth Coexistence, and the aftershocks surged toward Muzan.

The tumor was instantly torn apart, revealing half of Muzan's body embedded inside.

"Gahhhh!! Don't come any closer!!"

The blood vessels burst forth with iron thorns, attempting to intercept Chu Wuji, but they were all blocked by the protective true energy surrounding Chu Wuji.

Chu Wuji's body slowly recovered, and he stood up as the iron thorns rushed towards him, his arms outstretched.

"Come on, Muzan, give me a hug!"

"boom!!"

The stone pillar, carrying terrifying kinetic energy, crashed into the fleshy tumor, and Chu Wuji successfully caught Muzan inside.

Before Muzan could react, Chu Wuji's flesh and blood had already begun to be devoured and integrated into his body subconsciously.

In the instant the neural connection was established, a massive surge of consciousness flooded into Muzan's mind.

Am I going to die again?

I feel like I've said this so many times.

"Yes." Chu Wuji's voice echoed in Muzan's mind: "Become my nourishment; this is your end."

The body is collapsing, and consciousness is also retreating step by step.

Could it be that my struggles over the past thousand years are no match for the will of the person before me?

Muzan's consciousness remained stagnant for a long time, a state he hadn't experienced in a long time.

He inexplicably recalled the words Ubuyashiki had said to him before she died.

"Ubuyashiki, you're right. Human life will inevitably come to an end, but the will will not."

"Chu Wuji, is that your name?"

"I can sense that you and I are the same kind of person. Since that's the case, then become another version of me and live on with my will."

"The longer you live, the better."

This was Muzan's final counterattack before his death, even more intense than Kokushibo's burning attack!

Suddenly, Muzan's life began to play out in a revolving lantern in Chu Wuji's mind, as if trying to etch Muzan's experiences and desires into Chu Wuji's mind.

"Oh." Chu Wuji nodded: "[Skip the plot]."

The memory flickered for a moment, then vanished completely.

All that remained were Muzan's despairing eyes and his body, which was being gradually devoured by Chu Wuji.
