Capillaries burst instantly, turning the eyeballs dark red with blood vessels, and the blood vessels throughout the body seemed to have a life of their own, writhing inside.
This physical pain was a thousand times, ten thousand times greater than when Xia Yan had dismembered him before!
But a gleeful smile appeared on Bingye's face.
"Hey, really? Why would someone suddenly commit suicide?"
Xia Yan, who was just about to take advantage of the situation, heard Byakuya's curses at Muzan and his lips twitched slightly.
He hadn't expected the other person to be so resolute, choosing such a painful way to die.
To prevent being betrayed by the ghosts under his command one day.
When Muzan gives blood, he also leaves a 'curse' inside the demon's body.
If his name is uttered without his permission, the Muzan cells within the demon's body will proliferate abnormally, causing irreversible damage to the demon's body.
Because the change occurs at the cellular level, the demon's body will endure unimaginable pain during this process.
These cells also allow Muzan to sense the location of any demon and listen to their thoughts.
When necessary, Muzan can even forcibly control the actions of demons through these cells.
To Muzan, ordinary demons were less than dogs.
Even the lower crescent moon demons of the twelve demon moons can only be considered free-range dogs; only the upper crescent moon can be considered a slightly pampered pet dog.
When you're in a good mood, allow your partner to be a little silly.
When in a bad mood, even if the other person hasn't done anything wrong, they might vent their anger by hitting or scolding them.
It can be said to be the epitome of despicable.
"Hehehehe, it hurts...it hurts so much...hahahaha..."
"But I'm finally free! Hahahaha..."
Upon hearing Xia Yan's words, Bingye howled in pain while simultaneously letting out a hearty laugh, and looked at Xia Yan with a smug look.
It seemed as if she was showing off to the other party that she wasn't completely at his mercy.
At least they still have the right to choose death!
Looking at the dark red, swollen head in his hand, which resembled a rotten, moldy apple, Xia Yan tossed it away with some disgust.
The next second, Bingye's head exploded in mid-air like a water balloon, leaving only an eyeball with the word "Local" on it and a pool of foul-smelling liquid.
The limbs, severed arms, and torsos that Xia Yan had previously arranged neatly were twisted and deformed as if they had undergone a mutation, and then exploded into a pool of blood.
After the sunlight appears, it will turn gray and disappear completely.
Kanae Butterfly was also awakened from her mosquito-coil-like state by the final cry of the diseased leaf before it died, and returned to normal.
She glanced with some pity at the diseased leaves on the ground that had turned into blood.
'In the end, did they still let him die in such agony...?'
Thinking of this, Kanae Kocho sighed softly, then revealed her usual gentle smile.
"Congratulations. It seems I should call you 'Storm Pillar' now, Natsuhiko-kun."
Chapter Sixty-Two: The Truth Comes Out – The Lower Moon Demons Are Just for Kids
"It's only been half a month since he joined the Demon Slayer Corps, which is probably the fastest time ever. And that's taking into account the time it took to forge the Nichirin Blade; otherwise, it might have been even sooner."
Although she failed to change Xia Yan's mind, Kocho Kanae did not develop a bad impression of him.
Because she was unaware of Xia Yan's true nature.
They would only feel sorry for him because they thought his past pain was too heavy.
At the same time, she secretly made a decision in her heart that she would work harder in the future to let Xia Yan feel the beauty of the world and get rid of her inner pain as soon as possible.
"Of course! It's only natural that I would become a Pillar, but it's really a pity that he died like that..."
Unaware of Kanae's thoughts, Natsuhiko shrugged and glanced at the blood on the ground with some regret.
"I was also thinking of making a wooden box to put him back as a gift for the lord..."
"After all, I've caused my lord so much trouble for no reason, so I'd like to give him a gift or something."
'No! My lord will definitely not be happy to open the box and see such a gift!'
Kanae Butterfly's lips twitched as she mentally complained.
But for some reason, for a moment she also felt a little expectant of what it would be like for her lord to open the box and see the ghost head being frightened.
But she suppressed the thought the moment it crossed her mind.
at the same time.
In the study of a wealthy man's home in Tokyo.
A pale-skinned, slender child with long black hair, blue eyes, and a handsome appearance suddenly raised his head.
In that instant, his originally blue pupils turned into scarlet vertical pupils, and an evil aura was palpable.
It was as if it itself was a symbol of evil.
It was the very first demon, the Demon King, Muzan Kibutsuji!
Kibutsuji Muzan was born in the Heian period. He almost died before he was born. His heart stopped beating in his mother's womb. After he was born, he was weak and sickly. The doctors who came to see him all remained silent and said that he would not live past the age of twenty.
However, a kind-hearted doctor never gave up and specially developed a special medicine for him.
As a result, Muzan was impatient and, before the medicine took effect, he thought it was a fake and killed the doctor first.
After the doctor's death, Muzan discovered that not only had his body recovered its health, but he had also gained immortality and an even stronger body. However, he also began to crave human flesh and blood, and would die if exposed to sunlight.
Muzan became the first demon.
After studying the drug formula that the doctor had prepared for himself, he discovered that the finished product of the drug needed to include a plant that the doctor called "Blue Spider Lily." However, only that doctor knew where this Blue Spider Lily grew and how to cultivate it.
In order to find the Blue Spider Lily, Muzan began to use his own blood to create a large number of demons.
As the progenitor of demons, Muzan, with very few special cases, could sense the existence of almost every demon through the cells he left inside their bodies, and could even read their thoughts.
However, he doesn't use this ability most of the time.
With so many ghosts around, he didn't have the time to pay attention to what each one was doing.
Just like if you create a chat group with two thousand people, you can't possibly check it every time it rings. You'll most likely just mute it and only check it when you remember or when someone mentions you.
However, if an administrator leaves the group, the group owner will still receive a special notification.
"The new Lower Moon Six has only been around for half a year, and he's already dead again?! Have I been too lenient with them?!"
Sensing that Byakuya had been completely disconnected from the server, Muzan frowned, his expression somewhat displeased.
For over a hundred years, the Upper Moon demons have never changed, and it is these Upper Moon demons who kill the "Pillar" level swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps every time.
Even though the Lower Moon demons received the blood they were rewarded with, they were so weak.
All twelve ghost months have come and gone, how many waning crescent moons have appeared each year? Has anything been changed? It's just the same old wine in new bottles!
Sometimes these Lower Moon demons should really examine their own behavior. Have their strength increased over the years? Have they been working diligently?
It's not helpful to me at all.
Muzan even considered layoffs countless times. Since the Lower Moon demons were of no use, why keep them around to waste food?
But when he thought of the boy who had suffered a similar fate to his own, Muzan took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.
If it's useless, it's useless. Just treat it as a way to amuse the child.
"But that man..."
Muzan frowned as he sensed the lingering fear emanating from the remaining cells of the dead leaf, as if the fear of Xia Yan had been etched into its very bones.
In fact, this wasn't the first time Muzan had met Natsuhiko; after all, very few demons would be foolish enough to be burned to death by the sun.
However, just last month, more than ten demons were scorched to death by the sun, which aroused Muzan's curiosity. He had seen Xia Yan's figure in the memories of those demons.
He only glanced at it at the time and didn't pay much attention. He never expected that when he saw it again, it would have become a pillar.
"Heh, 'Breathing of the Storm'? A rather nice name."
"Forget it, they're just human beings anyway, there's no need to pay too much attention to them."
Chapter Sixty-Three: Let's continue with the previous topic.
After repeated persuasion, Xia Yan finally gave up his plan to take the eyeball with the word "Local" on it back to the lord as a gift.
Kanae Kocho wiped non-existent sweat from her forehead and let out a long sigh.
"Now that the ghost is dead, let's continue our discussion from earlier."
"Huh? The topic we were talking about earlier..."
Hearing Xia Yan's words, Kocho Kanae was slightly surprised, but her cheeks immediately flushed red, and she turned her head away, feeling a little embarrassed and not daring to look Xia Yan in the eye.
She had already remembered what the two of them had been discussing.
"So, Kanae, how about becoming my wife?"
Xia Yan casually tossed the eyeball aside, a slight smile playing on his lips, and walked toward Kocho Kanae.
"Hey, isn't it a bit too early to talk about these things now? After all, Xia Yanjun is only fourteen years old..."
Faced with Xia Yan's relentless approach, Kocho Kanae had no choice but to retreat step by step.
However, since she didn't have the ability to roll her eyes, she couldn't see the road behind her. Soon, with Xia Yan's deliberate adjustment of her position, she leaned against a thick tree.
Realizing there was no way out behind her, Kanae Butterfly tried to go around to the side, but Natsuhiko blocked her way with a wall slam, leaving her with no choice but to stick tightly to the tree trunk.
"You're standing too close, Xia Yanjun..."
Feeling Xia Yan's breath on her face and the strong masculine aura around her, Kanae Butterfly's head steamed again, and her eyes spun around like mosquito coils.
Seeing this, Xia Yan gently lifted her chin with his other hand, forcing Kocho Kanae to look into his eyes, a playful smile appearing on his lips.
"What's wrong? Does Kanae hate me?"
"No! I don't dislike Xia Yanjun, it's just... it's just..."
