Kibutsuji Muzan lowered his head, his body slightly hunched and trembling all over, allowing the blood droplets to pierce through him, creating blood holes the size of fingertips.
Mizuki's blood entered Muzan's body, affecting his regeneration speed.
But similarly, Mizuki could also feel her blood being absorbed by Muzan.
Just blood alone wasn't enough for him to overcome the sun. Her blood didn't have the ability to make a demon overcome the sun; it required assistance to do so.
Tamayo had already verified this point.
Muzan didn't deliberately give up resistance to attract Mizuki's attack. Through her Transparent World vision, Mizuki could clearly see that earth-shattering changes were occurring within Muzan's body.
His five brains and seven hearts began to beat violently, as if they were about to explode.
The tissues beneath the skin on his back rapidly wriggled, as if something extraordinary was about to happen.
Mizuki's golden eyes stared unblinkingly, continuously analyzing through her Domain.
It's an extension of Blood Demon Art.
Not blood, but flesh and bone!
Almost simultaneously, beneath Muzan's blood-stained suit, the skin on his back tore open, and sinister, flesh-colored long whips burst forth. The connection points to his back were well-wrapped in white bone.
One, two, three... a full nine of them.
The whips danced wildly, instantly repelling the blood droplets in mid-air, scattering them across the ground.
Yet, even so, those blood droplets didn't 'die' there. Instead, after landing, they formed sharp-edged, blood-red ice cubes, with cold air slowly spreading out, causing layers of frost to appear on the ground.
Muzan also understood that to deal with a lightning-fast opponent, he needed to use area-of-effect attacks that were difficult for the opponent to dodge, gradually compressing their space to survive.
When there was nowhere left to hide, that would be the opponent's demise.
Mizuki could sense Muzan's thoughts and glanced up.
She wondered if these whips could be cut.
Theoretically, a Nichirin Blade is most effective against a demon's body. The reason why there are instances where necks can't be cut is actually due to a vast disparity in abilities.
When abilities are similar, a Nichirin Blade does have a certain suppressive effect on a demon's flesh.
This is why Kokushibou's demon blade was defeated by Mizuki's Nichirin Blade.
Before Mizuki could think further, those whips shot towards her with incredible speed.
Mizuki was no slower than Muzan's arms.
Mizuki leaped into the air, and the flesh whips pierced into the ground. Affected by the ground's cold air, they unexpectedly struggled to break free for a moment.
"Snow Breathing, Sixth Form: Snow Drifts Ten Thousand Miles!"
Mizuki's figure neared Muzan, and her Nichirin Blade swung out from her hand. A wave-like, snow-colored slash descended vertically, attempting to sever all nine flesh whips at once.
But just as her blade was about to swing, Muzan's body underwent another transformation.
What?
Mizuki's eyes narrowed slightly. She saw that beneath Muzan's white suit pants, his flesh and bone stirred once more.
Before long, more flesh whips, almost identical to those on his upper body, extended out again, targeting Mizuki, who was suspended in mid-air with no leverage.
Their speed was even faster than the upper body whips, so fast that Mizuki could barely see them.
Stupid woman.
Muzan's lips curved into a slight smile.
To jump into the air, now let's see how you'll dodge.
However, as soon as Muzan's lower body abnormality appeared, Mizuki guessed his attack method.
One could only say that a Blood Demon Art that was too singular was just that easy to guess.
Mizuki's gaze became focused, and the snow-colored slash that was about to erupt from her blade was forcefully retracted.
Her body twisted in mid-air at an incredible angle. While avoiding the whip attacks, she hung upside down in the air, and then... a trace of crimson aura overflowed from Mizuki's mouth.
Muzan's pupils slightly constricted. That was...!
Mizuki's body was inevitably scraped by the flesh whips, leaving bloody marks, but it no longer mattered.
"Sun Breathing, Tenth Form: Burning Bones, Bright Sky!"
Orange-red flames replaced the chilling white mist on her blade, illuminating Mizuki's fair face.
The Demon Slayer Mark on her cheek became even more pronounced under the firelight.
Muzan felt as if his heart was being fiercely squeezed.
This woman! This woman!
Mizuki's face, reflecting the firelight, appeared in Muzan's eyes.
Exactly the same as in his memory!!!
He could almost hear the monster's voice echoing in his mind.
Muzan felt an indescribable terror.
A similar person, Sun Breathing... when these factors overlapped, no matter how much Muzan tried to calm himself, he couldn't remain composed after seeing this scene.
Muzan's trembling pupils reflected the increasingly bright flames.
"Ko... Kokushibou!" Muzan trembled all over, the veins on his forehead bulging little by little.
He gave up.
He had to return to the Infinity Castle quickly.
Kokushibou, upon hearing his call, was also staring blankly at the scene and couldn't respond to his master in time.
It was as if... as if that guy was still alive... No... Mizuki must have inherited that guy's will... Kokushibou stared blankly at the flames falling from mid-air.
WHOOSH!!!
Without giving him time to offer assistance, Mizuki rotated her wrist, and her Nichirin Blade drew an arc from top to bottom, emitting a radiance as dazzling as the sun.
This arc slash, from top to bottom, severed all the flesh whips on Muzan's limbs and entire body.
The effect was surprisingly good.
"Cough..." Mizuki suppressed the pain in her lungs. Her breath surged, and she was completely healed before landing.
The negative impact of Sun Breathing on her was almost negligible now.
Muzan's body began to tilt due to his severed limbs.
The burning pain emanating from the severed limbs prevented him from regenerating for a moment.
But with the help of limbs that extended again from other parts of his body, Muzan stabilized himself.
The composure he had at the beginning was gone from his face.
Beneath the fear in his eyes was an anger so ferocious it almost ruined his expression.
His teeth ground together with a grinding sound, bits of tooth fragments falling out, and the anger in his eyes overflowed. His face turned flushed and dark: "You siblings!"
"What exactly do you want to do?!"
"Why must you cling to me?!"
"Are your brains problematic?!?"
Whether it was that monster or this woman before him.
Why would such a monster appear a second time?
Hateful, so hateful.
Mizuki gave him a look as if he were an idiot: "Are you an idiot?"
"Didn't you come looking for trouble yourself?"
Saying she had to cling to him?
Pah!
What a repulsive man. When the time comes, I'll... I'll post you where?
Anyway, it'll be an exposé!
Then you'll know you were wrong!
