The ravens flying in the sky cawed and flew at full speed, spreading the good news that Muzan was dead to all directions!
At this moment, everyone present was immersed in an atmosphere of joy, as if they had found gold on the street.
It should be said that it was even more fervent and exciting, a hundred times, a thousand times more so.
However, they did not notice that Kanae and Tamayo, as Natsuhiko's wives, should have been the first to rush over to celebrate.
At this moment, he simply stood quietly to the side, his gaze towards Xia Yan even carrying a hint of worry.
Because all the Pillars were immersed in the joyful atmosphere and relaxed their vigilance, they did not notice that the soil at the spot where Muzan had died was slightly undulating.
It looked like something was crawling.
call out--
A sound cut through the air.
boom--! ! !
In the pitch-black night sky, dazzling and magnificent fireworks burst forth!
It instantly drew everyone's attention.
Then several more fireworks bloomed in different directions, making the sky, which was already filled with stars and the moon, even more magnificent.
"Ahahaha! Amazing! So bright! What is that thing?!" Inosuke's face showed an expression of disbelief.
"It's fireworks." Tanjiro also looked up at the sky.
“⊙▂⊙Smoke…flower? What’s that?!” Piggy scratched his head.
"By the way, this must be Inosuke's first time seeing fireworks, right? Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I've seen them either. They're so beautiful..."
Tanjiro, recalling Inosuke's experiences, said with some emotion.
Having lived in the mountains all his life, and after being taken in by Natsuhiko, he became obsessed with training to become stronger and hunting demons, so this was the first time Inosuke had ever seen fireworks.
"But why are there fireworks?" Obanai Iguro frowned slightly, his face wrapped in bandages, making it impossible to see his expression. "Normally, members of the Demon Slayer Corps shouldn't do things that attract attention."
"What does it have to do with anything? They must have been carried by those swordsmen privately," Uzui Tengen speculated, stroking his chin.
"But the fact that they're carrying fireworks with them, does that mean they foresaw our victory and are celebrating in advance?"
"Wow, these guys are absolutely gorgeous! Are there really ordinary swordsmen with such flashy designs? I really want to see who came up with this!!!"
As the god who presides over magnificent celebrations, Uzui Tengen highly praised this behavior.
Meanwhile, after receiving news of Muzan's death, Amane, who had moved to the Butterfly Mansion in advance, led four identical children out.
Looking up at the fireworks bursting in the distance, his expression was somewhat serious.
As a descendant of a priestly family, she had an ominous premonition for some reason.
Just as everyone's attention was drawn to the sudden fireworks...
Like a fountain, a blur shot out and flew straight toward Xia Yan's location.
That stance made it seem like they were going to pierce through both Miri and Xia Yan!
"careful--!!!"
The moment the afterimage burst from the ground, Gyomei Himejima, who had elevated everything else to its extreme without relying on sight, Tengen Uzui, who possessed extraordinary hearing, and Tanjiro, who had a superhuman sense of smell, all reacted at the same time.
However, due to being too relaxed, they only managed to issue a 3.5 warning!
However, such a small action could not possibly escape Xia Yan's eyes!
He gently pushed Mi Li away from his arms, just barely brushing past her afterimage without even scratching her clothes.
But he himself seemed unable to dodge in time, and was pounced on by the afterimage!
——! ! !
Blood splattered.
The sudden turn of events brought the joyful atmosphere to a standstill!
A grotesque mouth, covered with rings of bone spikes and sharp teeth, resembling that of a lamprey, was biting at Xia Yan's shoulder.
The end of the mouth looked like a wriggling mass of rotten flesh, with a brain and a heart embedded in it.
It's Muzan's brain and heart!
Chapter 450 Gunshots at Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters
Before anyone could react, bone spurs, writhing flesh, brain, and heart instantly melted into one and burrowed into Xia Yan's wound!
It was Kibutsuji Muzan's backup plan!
Before being melted by Xia Yan's Ripple, Kibutsuji Muzan managed to analyze the drug that was affecting his splitting.
However, there was still no way to completely break down the drug that was preventing him from splitting.
However, his actions were not entirely without effect!
Before his death, Muzan successfully transferred all the toxins from a heart and a brain!
Although it can no longer completely split the body into 1,800 pieces like before, it is enough to split a heart and brain.
Muzan concentrated the remaining blood and life force on these two and separated them.
Then, taking advantage of lying on his back, he used his body as cover to hide the separated heart and brain underground!
Originally, I only intended to take advantage of the situation.
Unexpectedly, someone suddenly set off 05 fireworks, drawing everyone's attention to the sky and causing them to ignore the commotion on the ground.
This gave Muzan the opportunity to inject all his blood into Xia Yan's body.
He attempted to use this opportunity to transform Xia Yan directly into a demon, and then, relying on his ability to control demons, seize Xia Yan's body.
At that time, not only will it be able to destroy the Demon Slayer Corps with its powerful strength, but it will also be able to devour those female demons who have overcome sunlight and become a truly perfect ultimate creature!
He, the progenitor of demons, Muzan Kibutsuji, waited over a thousand years for this opportunity.
This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Such a powerful temptation was simply irresistible to Muzan.
As a result, a very crucial issue was overlooked!
That's what Xia Yan said before: his eyes can see through everything, including what happens underground!
In fact, all his actions were carried out with Xia Yan's tacit approval.
Although he didn't know what the fireworks were all about, they suited Xia Yan's needs, so he decided to play along and pretend to be off guard, which gave Muzan this opportunity!
Whether it was clearing toxins, splitting the body, or launching a sneak attack, Xia Yan saw it all and even deliberately facilitated the situation.
After all, Xia Yan's true goal is to replace Muzan Kibutsuji and become a perfect being who has overcome sunlight, just like the Demon King Tanjiro!
The life force that Muzan had accumulated over thousands of years was the most perfect nourishment in his eyes!
Before the final battle, he had already injected himself with drugs that would allow him to break free from Muzan's control, as well as a potion made from the Blue Spider Lily.
Next, it will be a battle of mental strength.
……
"Mr. Xia Yan! Are you alright!?"
"Are you alright, Uncle Xia Zhiqi?"
Tanjiro and Inosuke rushed over anxiously, wanting to find out what had happened.
Although Tamayo and Kanae knew that these were all part of the plan, they were still uneasy and ran over with worried expressions.
However, they were all stopped by Gyomei Himejima.
"and many more!"
"Namo Amitabha Buddha... That thing just now was probably—Muzan!"
"Nani—!!!"
His words caused a huge uproar in the crowd, and the Pillars, who had been all smiles, instantly became solemn.
Although none of them reacted to Muzan's sneak attack.
But they had all witnessed the blurry mass of flesh merging into Xia Yan's body.
At this moment, Xia Yan stood still with his eyes closed and head bowed, as if he were asleep, but all the veins in his body were bulging, making him look extremely ferocious and terrifying.
This change caused a vague sense of unease to rise in the hearts of all the pillars...
Despite their reluctance, each Pillar's hand gripped the hilt of their sword.
"Damn it! Have they let their guard down because of this victory?! That's outrageous, so unglamorous!"
Thinking about how he had just leisurely enjoyed the fireworks without even the most basic alertness, Uzui Tengen murmured with some self-reproach.
"Eh?! What, what, what should I do? I don't want anything to happen to Xia Yanjun!"
Mitsuri was already extremely anxious at this point.
In terms of her concern for Xia Yan's safety, she, who already considers herself Xia Yan's fiancée, is no less worried than Tamayo, Kanae, and Shinobu Kocho.
Moreover, because she met Xia Yan relatively late, she was unaware of his plans, and her personality was not particularly stable.
By this time, he was already crying his eyes out.
Perhaps she had never used her brain as much as she had ever before, and after thinking it over with all her might, she actually grasped the key to the problem.
"By the way, Ms. Kanae, Ms. Tamayo, Ms. Shinobu, you should have some medicine or something that you can use, right? Please help Natsuhiko-kun!"
"No."
Himejima Gyomei decisively rejected Mitsuri's proposal.
Everyone stared in surprise at the man, who was as tall as a bear, but out of trust, they waited for his explanation.
"Give me the medicine, I'll administer it..."
"We don't know what Natsuhiko's situation is yet, and Tamayo and Kanae are Muzan's targets. Approaching them rashly... could be dangerous."
These 660 answers are quite reliable, although they may be a bit unlucky, but they have been recognized by everyone.
