Chapter 79: Infinity Castle
Chapter 79: Infinity Castle
---
"Is Akaza crazy?"
This was Aoki's first thought. There was no way Akaza didn't know that he had killed Doma. Even if Akaza hated Doma, he should know Doma's strength. Attacking him was essentially seeking death.
However, Aoki quickly remembered the eyeballs and suddenly understood. Akaza's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he punched Aoki in the face.
Boom!
Aoki caught Akaza's fist steadily, and just as he was about to counterattack, the ground beneath him vanished, replaced by a strange cityscape.
"Infinity Castle, as expected!"
Aoki quickly pieced together the current situation. Muzan must have been searching for him, and he was at least one of the targets. Akaza was the bait, and Infinity Castle was the battlefield. This was another trap set by Muzan Kibutsuji.
Aoki let his body fall into the Infinity Castle.
Boom!
Aoki landed steadily on a platform and looked up. Buildings intertwined and connected to form a strange city. Infinity Castle was a different space. "Space Shuttle" could only reach places he could see with his eyes, making it impossible to leave Infinity Castle with it.
However, Aoki felt the space marks in his mind and observed the surroundings calmly. If he had been trapped before killing Doma, it would have been dangerous. But now...
Whoosh!
A sharp sound came from behind. Aoki turned and punched out.
Boom!
The two fists collided, creating a wave of air. Aoki didn't move, but Akaza flew back, landing on his feet, his golden pupils full of solemnity. The defector who had killed Doma had clearly grown much stronger. But the power of the defector was still beyond his expectations.
Whoosh!
The air was cut open, and a black shadow-like whip lashed down from the sky. Aoki's figure suddenly disappeared.
Crack, crack!
The building beneath him split in two. Aoki turned his head. A young man with a pale face and plum-red eyes walked out slowly. His two arms had turned into long thorn whips covered with sharp hooks.
"Muzan Kibutsuji!" Aoki said calmly. After all this trouble, Muzan himself had to take action. Aoki had expected to face Muzan.
"Defector, this time I'll see how you escape!" Muzan said coldly, murderous intent in his eyes.
On the left, a pot appeared, and a strange demon with a mouth in place of eyes and eyeballs in the mouth emerged. The words "Upper Rank Five" were engraved in his eyes, and his mouth opened and closed, making a weird laugh.
On the right, a short demon with curved horns on his head and five drums with the word "Four" on his back walked out slowly, with "Upper Rank Four" engraved in his eyes.
In front of him was the murderous Muzan Kibutsuji, and behind him, Akaza was ready to pounce.
"Wait, there are two more?"
Aoki sensed something and looked down. There was a platform diagonally below, and a woman holding a biwa was sitting there, her long black hair spread out, with a single eye on her face.
Next to her stood a man wearing a purple and black kimono, with long crimson hair in a high ponytail, and a long sword at his waist. Most striking were the six eyes on his face, the two middle ones engraved with "Upper Rank One."
The new Upper Rank Six, Nakime! And the strongest man second only to Muzan, Upper Rank One Kokushibo.
So Muzan had even sent Kokushibo to protect Nakime? He thought it through very well. So well, it didn't seem like Muzan at all.
Aoki looked around. "These are all the Upper Ranks, right? I didn't expect them all to come. Am I the first opponent to make the Demon King and all the Upper Ranks come out together?"
"Rat, this game is over!"
Muzan's face flashed with cruelty, and he swung his arm, whipping at Aoki. The speed and power were such that even Yoriichi Tsugikuni would have felt a chill.
[T/N .....]
Boom!
A huge wooden plank emerged on the right. Countless sharp-toothed slimy fish spewed out of the pot on the left, flying toward Aoki like a river, all with bloodthirsty desires in their eyes.
Akaza did not launch an attack, staring at Aoki like a wild wolf ready to pounce. In the transparent world, Aoki had already detected their attack. These attacks were terrifying, and he did not dare to take them head-on.
There was no need to take them head-on. Aoki's figure flashed, disappearing from the encirclement of the four demons and reappearing above Nakime.
Bang!
Nakime plucked her biwa, and a wooden board appeared between them.
Boom!
Aoki's punch shattered the wooden board. But what appeared in his vision was not Nakime's head, but a strange long sword covered with eyeballs.
"First Form: Dark Moon, Evening Palace!"
The strange long sword slashed, leaving irregular small moon-shaped blades. Aoki did not dodge, punching forward instead.
"Aoki Style: Judgment!"
Bang!
Kokushibo took two steps back, and Aoki remained motionless. There was a deep wound on his fist, but it healed instantly. Aoki's figure flashed again, appearing on the other side of Nakime.
A blade grew out of Kokushibo's long sword, slashing down diagonally. "Eighth Form: Moon Dragon Ring Tail!"
A huge slash surrounded by countless crescent blades instantly enveloped Aoki. This attack power, this range, was indeed worthy of an Upper Rank.
Aoki did not dare to let this attack land on him, so he abandoned attacking Nakime and smashed down with both fists.
Bang!
The slash broke, and his fist was also cut open with a huge gash. At that moment, the building beneath him rose, and whips whistled down from above.
The attacks of the other demons also arrived. Aoki's figure disappeared, reappearing dozens of meters away from the battlefield.
"So many of you are besieging me? Do you dare to fight me one-on-one? Kokushibo, where is your dignity as a swordsman? Muzan, don't you claim to be invincible? Aren't you ashamed to besiege me with your lackeys?"
No one responded to his provocation.
Swoosh!
Two thorn whips crossed, blocking all possible escape routes. Aoki's figure disappeared again.
Muzan said coldly, "Rat, run as much as you can. The moment you run out of energy, you will die! From the moment you were locked in the Infinity Castle, your fate was sealed!"
"You calculated well," Aoki said. "Space Shuttle" consumed a lot of energy. Although his physical and mental strength had greatly increased, he couldn't use it indefinitely. According to the frequency of use just now, he couldn't even last a day.
But that was assuming he could really be trapped here. Aoki looked at Nakime and his figure disappeared again.
