Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began When I Became Yoriichi's Sister

Chapter 407: A solution found?

The red sun rose on its own, but Muzan was no longer affected in the slightest.

Muzan looked at Yuuko with a smug expression: "Well? Now, compared to you, who truly deserves to be called the most perfect being?"

"If you're not blind, it should be obvious who's ugly and who's good-looking, right?" Yuko looked weak and hungry, but that didn't stop her from retorting to Muzan.

Muzan paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth again.

Who cares who's ugly or good-looking?

He was clearly referring to who the perfect ultimate being is.

In Muzan's view, he had only overcome sunlight a little later than Yuuko, but as the progenitor of demons, he must have surpassed other demons in terms of pure ability.

He's clearly saying that Yuko is the perfect color before he even returns her to him, and who cares who's ugly or beautiful!

Who cares who's ugly or beautiful?!

Ignoring Muzan's gloomy face, Yuko kept adjusting her breathing to suppress the restless emotions in her heart.

A wave of empty hunger washed over her, causing Yuko to drool even more. The shockwave she had just dealt with had drained her energy, almost making her lose her mind.

Muzan showed no intention of launching an attack, but instead looked at everyone thoughtfully.

"Damn it! Isn't there any way?" Under the cover of the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen, Yushiro returned to the shadows behind the ruins and hid, his forehead covered in cold sweat as he looked at Muzan, who was standing in the center of the arena, defying the sunlight.

How exactly to defeat Muzan was a question that not only Tamayo was pondering, but everyone present was also racking their brains.

However, the conclusions reached were all extremely despairing.

There is no other way.

They can still hope for the sun if the Nichirin Blade can't kill the demons, but if even the sun can't destroy the demons, who can they rely on?

With the help of Yuuko, Tanjiro, and Zenitsu, the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps barely recovered. After treating their injuries, they picked up their Nichirin Blades and stood up.

They were desperate because they were just human.

They stood up because they were still pillars.

Seeing the Pillars struggling to their feet, Muzan, who had been silent for a long time, opened his mouth again: "I'll give you a chance. Tell me where Ubuyashiki is, and I'll give you the chance to submit."

Muzan believed that someone as shrewd as Ubuyashiki would definitely change positions after this.

Even if he hadn't moved immediately, now that he knows he's overcome the sunlight, he would definitely take the opportunity to escape and hide again.

This is considered a tradition of the Ubuyashiki family.

Furthermore, all twelve demon moons have been killed. Even though Muzan dislikes his own kind, it would still be troublesome for him to be without subordinates, as he would have to do everything himself.

Muzan wanted to give these Marked Pillars a chance.

He didn't think everyone would agree, but he also didn't think no one would respond.

Pillars that activate their markings rarely live past twenty-five. If they can live, who would want to die?

What made Muzan even angrier was that not a single person bowed down to him.

"You disgusting scum, do you think you deserve our submission?"

"No, I refuse."

"So what if a ghost has overcome sunlight? It's not like I haven't slain one before."

Yuko's eyelids twitched. "Who are you talking about?" "Huh? Who are you talking about?"

Muzan's face darkened: "Is that so? Then you can all die."

After he finished speaking, the tentacles that had been dormant on his body struck again, shooting towards the crowd.

Compared to last night, Muzan, who had overcome the sunlight, did not actually become stronger. On the contrary, he was extremely weak due to the exhaustion of his stamina and Tamayo's poison.

However, that is relative. Even in a weakened state, Muzan is still a huge challenge for the Pillars, not to mention that Muzan has now overcome sunlight and cannot be killed.

Moreover, the Pillars were not at their peak either. The intense battle of the night had left them physically and mentally exhausted. What supported them in standing before Muzan was more of a willpower.

think……

There must be some way...

Yuko calmly watched as the Pillars were forced to retreat under Muzan's attacks, without rushing to help.

Given their current condition, they can hold on for a while longer.

If she doesn't find a way to break the deadlock, even if she fights her way through and temporarily relieves Muzan's attack pressure, it will be of no use; it's just a matter of whether she dies sooner or later.

Think about it carefully... there might be a way.

Yoriichi almost killed Muzan back then because Muzan overcame his weakness in the neck.

If Muzan hadn't run away so quickly, this might not have happened.

but……

Muzan's five brains and seven hearts, which served as a means to distribute weaknesses, no longer exist. Moreover, Yoriichi couldn't even kill her at that time.

Even if it's chopped into pieces, as long as a few cells remain, it's enough to regenerate.

The reason Muzan was unable to regenerate after being cut by Yoriichi was largely due to the restraint of the Crimson Blade. If the Crimson Blade were not effective, even Yoriichi would not have been able to kill Muzan.

Yoriichi's method is no longer feasible; at the very least, we need to prevent Muzan from regenerating...

"Miss Yuko! Over here!" Just as Yuko was thinking, a head popped out from the ruins in the distance and greeted her.

Yuko glanced hesitantly at the battlefield and walked towards the ruins.

As they approached the ruins, Yushiro's presence emanated from them.

"Have you found a solution?"

"I have an idea."

Behind the ruins, Yuko saw Yushiro's figure, hiding in the shadows of the ruins. The two looked at each other, their voices overlapping.

Yuko's eyes brightened slightly, filled with anticipation: "What method?"

Yushiro's gaze was resolute: "Eat me."

Yu Zi paused for a moment, then frowned.

The Demon Slayer Corps swordsman standing nearby was clearly unable to accept this method, staring in disbelief: "How... Yushiro, it can't be because of..."

Yushiro snapped impatiently, "Shut up!"

The man obediently shut up.

Yushiro looked back at Yuko: "There's no time left, even if it's just for that little girl."

Yuko raised an eyebrow: "You've grown up, Yushiro. You know how to threaten people now."

Yushiro's eyes twitched violently twice, then he suddenly exploded, roaring angrily at Yuuko, "Is this the time to talk about this?!"

Yu Zi looked at him scrutinizingly, then said with a hint of disgust, "No, it's disgusting."

Yushiro was stunned for a moment, and his angry expression froze.

He felt that this woman definitely had something wrong with her head.

Yuko calmly said, "If this is the solution you're talking about, then I'm sorry, even if I eat you, it won't solve Muzan's problem."

Moreover, she didn't know if she would go crazy if she did this, but Tamayo would probably remember her for the rest of her life.

Even so, this was something Tamayo tacitly approved.

After saying that, Yu Zi turned around and was about to return to the battlefield.

Yushiro had lived for hundreds of years, and even though he usually acted unreliable, he calmed down at this crucial moment.

"Wait!" Yushiro called out to Yuko, recalling Tamayo's instructions before he left. He drew his Nichirin Blade from the waist of the swordsman beside him and pointed it at his own arm. "It's just an arm, but at least it should restore some of your strength."
