Chapter 154 Blockade of Infinite City, Destroy the Evil Ghost

Gyutaro grinned, revealing his saw-like teeth, and affectionately stroked his sister Hime's head.

"There's nothing your brother won't agree to, except this one thing."

"The Infinity Castle isn't like the Yoshiwara Red-Light District, filled with weak humans. Everyone there is like us, and each Upper Moon is terrifyingly powerful. Your brother isn't their match yet."

There are six Upper Moons, and his rank, Gyutaro, is Six, the lowest among the Upper Moons.

"Hmph!"

Daki stomped her foot in anger.

But despite her arrogance, she couldn't go against her brother.

"Zheng~"

A clear, pleasant biwa sound echoed through the void.

Upon hearing the biwa, Gyutaro immediately said, "Nakime has begun to summon us, Hime, wait for me to return."

"Zheng!"

The biwa sound suddenly resonated in the room, and a gorgeous Japanese sliding door abruptly appeared on the tatami mat in the Japanese-style room.

The sliding door "whooshed" open, and then Gyutaro walked into the door, disappearing into thin air.

"I need to eat more humans to become stronger and help my brother."

The adorably spoiled Daki, after Gyutaro left, had her beautiful face immediately replaced by a cold, fierce expression.

A large cavern beneath the Yoshiwara Red-Light District.

This cavern was Daki's food storage, and Daki's sash clone also called this cavern her "granary."

Now, Daki was going to feed.

At the same time.

Kibutsuji Muzan's main base—the Infinity Castle.

The intricate three-dimensional Alien space, under Nakime's control, twisted and transformed. Wooden corridors writhed like snakes, paper doors silently opened and closed, and spaces misaligned and reassembled.

Scarlet lanterns hung in the void, their candlelight flickering, illuminating a shadow behind a paper door.

He was dressed as a samurai, his nichirin blade still sheathed, yet he had already made the air as dense as iron.

Just standing there, he was an insurmountable mountain, even his breathing seemed to carry the pressure of a sword.

Upper Moon One, Kokushibo!

He was also Tsugikuni Yoriichi's brother during his human life, named Tsugikuni Michikatsu, and he mastered the Moon Breathing technique.

On a suspended platform, Upper Moon Three Akaza stood with his arms crossed, a twelve-pointed snowflake array appearing beneath his feet, his fighting spirit boiling.

He detested the weak and even more, meaningless killing, but at this moment, he smelled the aura of a powerful enemy.

And Upper Moon Four Hantengu was hunched over, timidly hiding in a corner, muttering "So scary,"

But his cloudy eyes occasionally scanned the other Upper Moons, as if weighing who would be most suitable to become his "shield."

Upper Moon Five Gyokko was curled up in a pot, only a twisted smiling face visible, and the patterns on the pot writhed, as if countless human faces were wailing in agony.

He prattled on, praising Lord Muzan's greatness, but no one paid him any attention.

Finally, Gyutaro descended from the sky, landing steadily. He hunched his back, his fingers anxiously tapping his scythe.

As for the Lower Moons among the Twelve Kizuki, they knelt on the ground, their heads bowed, not daring to look straight ahead.

They knew that every summons could mean "elimination."

"Why has Lord Muzan summoned us this time?"

"I don't know, but why isn't Douma here?"

"So scary, so scary—"

"Could it be someone's replacement battle?"

"Heh heh, Douma is late. He's waiting to suffer Lord Muzan's wrath."

The Lower Rank Demons dared not speak, while the Upper Rank Demons exchanged a few words.

"Zheng~"

Nakime, kneeling on a high platform, her long hair obscuring her face, emotionlessly plucked the biwa she held.

With a soft sound, Kibutsuji Muzan's figure silently appeared.

He stood on high, his black formal suit as sharply tailored as a blade, his crimson vertical pupils looking down on all beings, his pale face as perfect and cold as an ice sculpture.

The air solidified.

"Douma is dead."

Kibutsuji Muzan spoke, his voice low, yet it froze the very marrow of every demon's bones.

"What?!"

"Douma is dead?!"

"How is that possible? That guy, although annoying and disgusting, his strength is undeniable."

"After all, he was ranked Upper Moon Two."

Kibutsuji Muzan's four words directly caused an uproar among the Twelve Kizuki.

Even the silent Lower Rank Demons couldn't help but cry out in shock.

There were various emotions.

However, after the shock, the Twelve Kizuki began to harbor their own intentions.

Now that an Upper Moon position was vacant, it meant that everyone present would be promoted.

Promotion meant gaining more of Kibutsuji Muzan's blood!

Akaza's lips curled into a smile, his fighting spirit burning even more intensely: "Lord Muzan, who killed that hateful guy?!"

Kibutsuji Muzan gave him a cold glance, and Akaza immediately fell silent.

"Twelve Kizuki, listen carefully."

Kibutsuji Muzan's voice grew even colder.

"No matter who killed Douma."

"Find him, then tear him to shreds!"

"Whoever can kill him will be the new Upper Moon One!"

Behind the paper door, Kokushibo's six eyes, originally slightly closed, slowly opened, his sword intent subtly emerging.

Flowing Twelve Kizuki, unmoving Upper Moon One.

Now, his position was actually going to be shaken?

Kokushibo would never allow such a situation to happen!

"The one who killed Douma will surely be cut down by my blade."

Kokushibo placed one hand on the hilt of the nichirin blade at his waist.

Akaza's fighting spirit boiled.

Gyutaro's scythe trembled slightly.

"Go—"

Kibutsuji Muzan gave the order.

With a "Zheng," Nakime's biwa suddenly resounded, and the Infinity Castle twisted again.

She was preparing to teleport the Twelve Kizuki out.

But it seemed to have failed!

The Twelve Kizuki remained where they were.

"?"

Nakime was stunned, and plucked the biwa in her arms again.

"Zheng~"

No movement.

"Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!"

The Heterogeneous space of the Infinity Castle, under the rapid biwa sounds, violently reconfigured. Pavilions and towers moved and reorganized with a rumbling sound like active building blocks.

"Nakime, what's going on?"

Kibutsuji Muzan, standing beside Nakime, looked at her with cold eyes.

Nakime, who was usually expressionless, finally panicked this time and said in confusion, "Lord Muzan, I don't know either. This is the first time such a strange situation has occurred."

"The Infinity Castle seems—seems to be sealed."

"The Infinity Castle is sealed?"

Kibutsuji Muzan frowned deeply.

Since the Infinity Castle was established, in all this long time, such a situation had never occurred.

Kibutsuji Muzan would rather believe that Nakime's Blood Demon Art had a problem than believe that someone could seal the Infinity Castle!

"Zheng zheng zheng…"

Nakime frantically played the biwa, desperately urging her Blood Demon Art.

The Twelve Kizuki were teleported here and there by her, but they simply could not leave the Infinity Castle.

"Stop playing, it's truly awful."

"You have already been sealed by me within the Absolute Cube. Unless you kill me, it's impossible to leave the Infinity Castle."

Naruto, who had finally succeeded in enveloping the vast Infinity Castle with the Absolute Cube, spoke.

His speaking meant that the subjugation of the demons had begun!

As he spoke, Naruto silently rose from Gyutaro's shadow, suddenly swung his nichirin blade, and slashed towards the back of Gyutaro's neck!
