Chapter 556 Eliminating Upper And Lower Ranks

After killing Doma, both Shinobu and Kanao felt a sudden disorientation, and then a figure appeared before them.

"Sister…"

"Sister!"

Upon seeing this person, Shinobu couldn't help but exclaim, and Kanao also screamed in surprise.

"Shinobu, and Kanao, you've really worked hard. With this, I can finally feel at ease!"

Looking at her own younger sister and the one she considered her sister, Kanae felt content at this moment.

Most of the deceased individuals didn't disappear due to their attachments to the ones they cared about, and, of course, they needed to be quite special. As many people, after death, had already dissipated directly.

"It's best for you not to leave for now. There may be a chance for you to be revived later. After all, that's what I promised them. As long as they can kill Kibutsuji Muzan, then you'll have a chance to come back. If you leave now, you probably won't see your sister again!"

Asahi's words suddenly entered Kanae's ears. Yes, she was indeed dead now, but Shinobu hadn't died, so her wish of resurrecting Kanae after killing Muzan is possible. And with Asahi here, there was no possibility for Shinobu to die. After all, this is also a character that Asahi likes very much.

In every world, the characters Asahi liked would be brought under his command, regardless of whether they were useful or not. His power didn't require these people to do anything for him, as it wasn't necessary.

Kanae, who had already started to emit a golden light to depart, suddenly thought of this as well. The golden light on her body disappeared completely at the next moment. After all, if there was a chance to live, no one wanted to die!

"Your soul cannot stay here for a long time. I'll temporarily keep it for you!"

After saying this, Asahi waved his hand, and Kanae's soul shrunk into a small bead, directly falling into Shinobu's hands.

"The souls whose attachments have been fulfilled cannot exist in this world for an extended period, so I temporarily put her into a deep sleep. After you defeat Kibutsuji Muzan, she can be resurrected!"

After leaving these words, Asahi once again moved both of them out of the scene. As for himself, he went to observe the battle in another location.

But Shinobu and Kanae were noticed on the battlefield and had to continue fighting. There are still many demons, and it's because Muzan was constantly creating demons in his search for the Demon Slayer Corps.

In reality, the boss was quite cautious when it came to self-preservation. He had the ability to turn countless people into demons, but he refrained from doing so.

Why would he do that? It's because he knew he wasn't invincible. Despite being the most powerful being, he still feared sunlight, which posed a significant problem.

If he were to indiscriminately turn everyone into demons, it would result in widespread chaos. After all, this world wasn't limited to just cold weapons, it also had firearms.

Moreover, demons feed on humans, and he was quite intelligent, knowing that creating too many demons would lead to unfavorable consequences.

Human wave tactics could still be effective against him. If he were to be discovered, all they needed to do was use human wave tactics to keep him occupied until dawn, and he would perish. So, it's not that he wouldn't turn everyone into demons, it's simply because he dared not do so.

This time, in order to deal with the Demon Slayer Corps, he went on a frenzy of mass-producing demons, resulting in a full-scale battle between demons and the Demon Slayer Corps.

Even though the Demon Slayer Corps consisted of only a few hundred members, these few hundred individuals were all elites. The weakest among them could easily defeat regular demons, and their combat power, especially Tanjiro, is very remarkable.

The current Tanjirou possesses the combat strength similar to that of Yoriichi. He's like a bulldozer, capable of delivering hundreds of slashes at any given moment. Any demon that dares to approach him will be eliminated almost instantly.

Additionally, Nezuko, who has become a Demon Slayer herself, is also incredibly terrifying because of her flame-based powers with large-scale destructive capabilities. Countless demons met their end in the flames unleashed by Nezuko.

The moment the Demon Slayer Corps emerged, Asahi had already completely severed the connection between these demons and Muzan. This effectively meant that Muzan lost control over tens of thousands of demons, including the Upper and Lower Ranks.

At the same time, the other Hashira were besieging the Upper Ranks. As for the Lower Ranks, sorry, there is no need for the Hashira to go after them.

A group of elites, along with the former Hashira-level Demon Slayer Corps' members, could easily kill the Lower Ranks.

After the Lower Ranks made their appearance, it took less than five minutes to clear them out. As for the Upper Ranks, with the collaboration of Hashira, they are quickly defeated.

Especially the weaker Upper Rank Six, Upper Rank Five, and Upper Four, as they didn't require cooperation and could be easily handled in one-on-one fights.

The only troublesome one was the older brother of Yoriichi, Kokushibo, but he was also taken down by the combined efforts of Gyomei and Muichiro.

This guy perfectly embodies what jealousy means, and of course it's all because of their family circumstances.

Initially, Rengoku played the role of a caring older brother and treated his younger brother well. But when the tables turned, he changed. But it can't entirely blame him given the upbringing he had. Later, for the sake of longevity, he became a demon.

But now, he has also met his end at the hands of his descendants, as his head was cut off by Muichiro in the end.

While the Upper Ranks were indeed powerful, the Demon Slayer Corps this time had been significantly strengthened, making them no match at all. The remaining demons were also completely wiped out by the released sunlight from their weapons.

Muzan's army was completely annihilated here, and at this moment, Muzan was hunkered down inside the Infinity Castle.

He asked Nakime to directly to seal off all the entrances and then he stayed with her.

Nakime could use spatial-type techniques, which was a god-tier support ability. Unfortunately, Muzan made a mistake at the end, allowing Nakime to teleport everyone into the Infinity Castle.

It's like he was just asking for trouble, right? He should have stayed low and not gotten careless at the very end. It's hard to tell where he picked up such recklessness. It's as if all their previous caution and care were thrown out the window

As long as Nakime existed, he could have ensured his survival, as the role of a super support like her is just that astonishing.

"Damn it, damn it! What's going on? Why is it my connection with those guys so easily severed?"

Muzan could only seethe with incompetent rage at this moment. Before this, his connection with all the demons sent to locate the Demon Slayer Corps was severed in an instant.

This left him terrified, even more so than when facing Yoriichi, as Yoriichi was at least an individual he could identify. But this time, he didn't even know who his enemies are, and that was the most terrifying part.
