A person in Japan, a sword that soars to immortality.

Chapter 130 Muzan's Mixed Feelings

Edo, near Senso-ji Temple.

In the deserted countryside, Akaza, who had recovered, sat alone on the ground under the cold moonlight, staring blankly at the sky.

"Lianxue, it won't be long before we can meet again."

Looking back on what just happened, it was really a bit too surreal.

He first encountered a human ninja stronger than himself, but lost the fight. Then he drank the liquid bestowed upon him by Lord Muzan, which caused his strength to surge.

Having defeated the ninja, and with an invincible mindset, he begged his lord to deal with the ninja, only to find that the opponent was even stronger than the ninja!

What's going on? In the human world, shouldn't those who can be called lords be pampered nobles?

How come this human named Taiyi is so incredibly strong?

"I originally wanted to recruit more subordinates so that I could defeat Muzan one day and atone for the sins I've committed over the years, but..."

"Master Qingzang, I've embarrassed you again..."

pat pat pat.

Akaza lowered his head, his fists clenched and pressed against his thighs, letting tears soak the back of his hands.

Having drunk the Transformation Water, he has replenished his five Yin energies and has now fully recovered his lost memories.

Thinking of the innocent humans he had eaten, and his kind and gentle wife, Renxue, and his master, Qingzang, who possessed both authority and compassion, he thought of Qingzang.

Having regained all human emotions, he felt that he was unforgivable.

If I go to the underworld carrying these sins, Lianxue and Master will never forgive me...

Although Akaza lost his memory after becoming a demon, his subconscious was not erased.

The blue stripes on his body, from the three bars on his forearms when he was human to covering his entire body after he became a demon, are a constant reminder of the sins he has committed.

His moves are inspired by the name of fireworks, a promise he made to his wife, Lianxue.

The stripes of the warlock's domain are also part of Love Snow's hair ornament...

His childhood was spent living to save his seriously ill father, and his adulthood is spent protecting Lianxue.

But now, everything is gone...

After a long while, Akaza stopped blaming himself and feeling remorse. Recalling Taiichi's words, a determined look returned to his eyes.

Originally, no matter what the other party said, even if Taiyi withdrew it from his body, he was not interested in the sword energy that was like a knife cutting and prevented him from recovering, or even if his soul was stuffed into some upper dantian.

The moment he was defeated by Taiichi, he no longer thought about seeking revenge against Muzan; he only wanted to end his own life.

But one of the other person's sentences rekindled his hope.

Want to see Lianxue? Maybe I can help you hold her hand and watch the fireworks from the bridge at the Two Nations Fireworks Festival next year!

Tsk~

How is this possible?

Yamada Asaemon Taichi, you are the devil who loves to lie.

But then he hesitated again, silently thinking to himself:

"Can my soul truly evade Muzan's detection now...?"

Dong~dong~dong~

Five consecutive chimes signaled the arrival of the hour of Mao (5-7 AM), and the back of the distant mountain peaks began to glow with a golden-red light.

Oh no, it’s almost dawn!

I subconsciously got up, intending to find a place to avoid the sun, but just then, a voice suddenly rang in my mind.

"Don't move, just stand here."

"My lord! The sunlight will shine on me..."

"I said... don't move."

Damn!

At this moment, Akaza's eyes were almost bursting out of their sockets, his mouth was wide open, his teeth were grinding together, his muscles were swollen, and the blood vessels under his skin were bulging all over his body, as if he was wrestling with something.

Meanwhile, in the Infinite Castle, Muzan was kneeling on the tatami mats of a Japanese-style room, with books about Onmyōdō (the Way of Yin and Yang) laid out on the tea table in front of him.

While flipping through the ancient texts, she used her will to manipulate the cells within Akaza's body that belonged to her, forcing him to stand still and wait for the sunrise.

Birdsong filled the air, and the morning breeze blew in.

Akaza trembled all over, staring blankly as the darkness that had filled the world receded rapidly behind him, as if being driven away.

Muzan!!!

Finally, the boundary separating black and white reached his toes and continued to advance without pausing.

"This...is this?"

The blinding light filled Akaza's vision, but he still didn't blink, forcing himself to stare at the rising sun even though his eyes were stinging.

In the infinite city.

"It's actually true..." Muzan's hand, gripping the pages of the book, began to tremble slightly.

Nakime had stopped playing, letting her hair fall down to cover her face, and stood frozen in place like a puppet, clutching her shamisen.

In the silent room, only the sound of breathing growing louder and the cracking sound of clenched fists could be heard.

"Hahaha!"

"It's true! It's really true!"

"I can overcome Yang...!!!"

Bang!

Just as Muzan was so happy he was about to have a stroke, he suddenly realized through his cellular will that Kiwaza's body was rotting and decomposing!

At the same time, the words Yu Hu had said that day echoed in her mind.

"Lord Muzan, Lord Sakura Ryu asked me to tell you that drinking this will temporarily counteract the damage caused by sunlight."

【temporary......】

【temporary......】

These two words kept echoing in Muzan's mind, like a curse, fixing her in place and constantly disturbing and stimulating her mind.

"hateful!!!"

boom!

Hundreds of spikes shot out from her body, slicing all that stood in her way to pieces.

Nakime didn't dare to move, letting the spikes, carrying a strong aura of death, whistle past her.

A crackling sound rang out. Muzan lowered his head, his fists clenched, and his head trembled slightly.

Fortunately, by this time, she had released Akaza from her control and mentally ordered Nakime to be brought before her.

"clear."

Zheng~

As the sound of the shamisen rang out, Akaza, now only half a body, instantly appeared in front of Muzan.

Before the other party could speak, a piercing tube was immediately inserted into their brain, beginning to read the memories within their cells.

Lean less.

Seeing Akaza, whose eyes had rolled back and who had fallen unconscious, Muzan's facial muscles twitched incessantly, and his entire being was filled with extreme anger.

"He's gotten stronger too, even stronger than when I last saw him!"

"What do I mean by temporarily overcoming the sun? I don't want temporary! I want forever!"

"You despicable monster! How dare you try to control the perfect me with something like this! I will never let you succeed!"

Call ~

After calming down, Muzan narrowed his eyes, slowly lowered his head, and muttered to himself in a sinister tone, a smirk playing on his lips:

"It seems that only Paradise Island could possibly have the Blue Spider Lily. Even without it, the legendary immortal's artifact will surely help me find a way to overcome the sunlight!!!"

Temporarily? Who the hell wants it to be temporary?!
