Chapter 186 - Shang Quannai’s Mimicry

…

The top of Mt. Saagiri.

Tsukuni Iwakatsu and Ninja sat cross-legged facing each other.

Yan Sheng already held a bone bottle in his hand.

The atmosphere between the two has become tense to the extreme.

"Sir, do you really want to drink it?" Ninja said in a low tone, looking at Tsukuni Iwakatsu with a somewhat fluctuating mood, feeling very uneasy about the contents of the bottle in front of him: "This kind of thing... makes people very uneasy!"

The ninja judged based on his years of memory of cultivating a poison-resistant physique that the contents of the bottle in front of him were probably toxins.

Jiguo Yansheng nodded, and looked at the bottle in his hand with dark eyes:

"Indeed, saying that drinking this thing will make you stronger is indeed a lie."

"If I were a child, I might still sneer at how there is power that can be obtained without hard work."

Jiguo Yansheng held the bone bottle. His fingers were wearing the somewhat old material of the bone bottle. His tone was low and his eyes glanced at Zhu Men who were sitting together to rest.

And Enichi Jikuni was sitting on the side, looking at the sky.

He tightened his grip on the bone bottle in his hand and his tone became firm:

"But even if there is any opportunity in front of me now, I don't want to lose it."

"Strong, I must become stronger."

"at all costs."

After saying that, with the ninja's somewhat surprised expression, he picked up the bone bottle and was about to open the stopper.

Snapped!

In a panic, the ninja stretched out his hand to block Tsukuni Iwakatsu's movements.

His eyes were solemn, and his breathing became irregular due to panic:

"Sir, there are two bottles here."

"You can let your subordinates test the poison first, and then it won't be too late for you to drink it."

Jiguo Iwakatsu looked at the ninja in front of him who said this in a calm tone, his throat moved up and down a few times, and finally he nodded slowly:

"…I see."

After a brief exchange of glances, the ninja slowly picked up a bone bottle.

"Bo!" Opened the bottle cork.

Seeing a faint mist of blood spreading from the mouth of the bottle, the ninja's pupils shrank.

——This thing is indeed poisonous.

…

…

the other side.

Da da da,

Shang Quannai held a small but delicate blood-colored Bianhua flower in his palm, and he walked towards the pillars.

The pillars sat in a row in a circle. They looked at the knives in their hands. Their physical strength had been exhausted from the battle just now.

"!!"

"There's something!" My wife Shancun, who was resting, felt a chill in the back of his head. He was so frightened that he immediately raised his head and looked around nervously.

Finally, I saw Shang Quannai walking towards me from one side.

The danger actually comes from around you!

"What are you going to do?" My wife Shancun keenly sensed something was wrong. He immediately turned his head and looked at Shang Quannai, who was slowly walking over with some evil intentions.

His eyes were locked on Shang Quannai, he held his breath and his calf muscles tightened.

Be prepared to escape.

"fine."

Shang Quannai glanced at my wife Shancun, who was still out of breath. He shook his head and walked straight past the pillars in the direction of Jiguo Yuanyi.

"Eh?" My wife Shancun was stunned. He stared blankly at Shang Quannai walking around him, somewhat confused.

The pillars looked at the two of them curiously. They were gathered together, wondering what they were discussing.

All I know is that Shang Quanna seemed to have said something to Jiguoyuan, and then Jiguoyuan nodded and turned his attention to Jiguo Iwakatsu not far away.

——It seems to have nothing to do with us.

The pillars all breathed a sigh of relief and started breathing heavily again.

It's so difficult to breathe in this place.

It's so oppressive that it's suffocating.

Ah, it is indeed a good place to practice breathing techniques.

The pillars looked at each other and thought to themselves.

Just when everyone thought they could take a good rest

Shang Quannai came back again.

He still held the bloody Bana flower in his hand, holding it with one hand, and slowly walked past my wife Shancun.

Snapped!

"ah!"

He reached out and patted my wife Shancun on the shoulder, which shocked the latter.

"What, what's wrong?" My wife Shancun stood up. He looked at Shang Quannai nervously and asked in a dull voice.

"I will lead you in the new round of training."

Shang Quannai smiled very kindly at my wife Shancun. Looking at this yellow-haired man, his attitude towards him couldn't help but change:

"Is everyone ready?"

My wife Shancun's pupils were shaking, and he backed away in fear.

——This guy is laughing, such a sinister smile...

"Well! Come on!" Purgatory Jinjuro was very excited. He stood up and looked at Shang Quannai with fiery eyes: "I can't wait!"

Kazama Nariya opened his mouth slightly in surprise, and looked at Injuruji Ingakuro who stood up with a stunned look on his face.

Next to her, Shuiwu Yuebai was equally speechless.

"Well, everyone should learn more from Nijuro's spirit."

Shuiwu Yuebai took a deep breath, stood up, adjusted his breathing, and looked at Shang Quannai:

"So, how should we train for the new round?"

After saying that, Shuiwu Yuebai frowned slightly.

——Shang Quan Nai is smiling.

Ever since he first met Shang Quan Nai a few months ago, he had never seen Shang Quan Nai smile so...happily.

Shang Quannai still kept smiling, nodded, and then explained:

"It's very simple."

"In the following training, you need to unite as one and treat this place as a real battlefield."

As soon as the last word of this sentence fell, all Zhu's expressions became solemn.

"And..." Shang Quannai lowered his head slightly, and his voice gradually turned cold.

Creaking…

The blood flow in the body slows down, the muscles begin to change, and the skin undulates, looking quite numb.

- Mimicry of ghosts.

As a ghost, Shang Quanna can change his appearance and form at any time.

He had only used this skill on the bone knife before, but it didn't really affect himself.

Now, he's going to get real mimicry.

The goal of mimicry is

——No misfortune.

"From now on, you have to..."

Creak... creak...

As the muscles undulate and change, Shang Quanna's facial features, height and hair color also change.

Finally, Wu Ke, who had black hair, slender eyebrows and cold eyes, was wearing a black kimono, and had fair skin, appeared in front of the pillars.

As Shang Quanna, who is thinking about how to target Wuhan day and night, even if he doesn't imitate the real thing, he can still achieve nine images.

"Wuxian" slowly said:

"Treat me...as if I were a misfortune."

The pillars watched helplessly as Shang Quannai became like this, and they were so surprised that they were speechless for a moment.

"Oh my god...does this sense of substitution have to be so strong..." My wife Shancun's expression was gloomy, but on the contrary, my wife's kindness in the kingdom of heaven in his mind became excited.

"Ah...right."

The "Wumei" on the opposite side seemed to have remembered something. He casually cut his wrist and let the blood flow out:

"Now that we have Wuhan... let's get used to the terrain of Infinite City in advance."

Snap, snap, thick blood flowed down the arm, and soon it was a large area.

"Wumei" the cold voice echoed, like nails on a blackboard, making people's scalp numb.

As the blood spread, the bloody mist gradually rose up and enveloped the surrounding area.

The pillars held the swords at their waists and were ready to attack at any time.

[Blood-inducing·Visual Dream Fragrance·Changed]

In Shang Quannai's left hand, the strange blood-colored Bianhua flower exuded a strange light in the blood mist.

then.

Rumble——!

A huge roar came from overhead.

The pillars looked up one after another.

"…what is that?"

Looking at the things gradually emerging in the sky, the pillars all froze in place.

…

Mountainside.

In the shrine.

Ubuyashiki Sukeyo, who heard the sound on the top of the mountain, walked out of the shrine and raised his head to look at the top of the mountain.

Tatsuki, who was discussing countermeasures with Ubuyashiki Fuyo in the house, saw this and hurriedly walked out:

"What's wrong?"

Ubuyashiki Sukeyo looked at the dark clouds gathering on the top of the mountain, his eyebrows slightly curved, and he smiled:

"Well, it's nothing serious."

"Tatsuki."

"I'm here." Tatsuki also looked up, and at the same time promised Uyashiki Fuyo.

"Let the other team members go down the mountain to appease the residents."

Chen Ji looked at the top of the mountain with some doubts, but when she really saw what appeared on the top of the mountain, her expression became a little solid:

"I...I know..."

…

Saagiri Mountain.

Mountain top.

Wow——!

Thick fog shrouded the top of the mountain.

From the outside, it looks like it's spinning around the top of the mountain.

The black mist turned into dark clouds, getting thicker and thicker.

At the bottom of the mountain, the people of Sagiyama Town who had just gotten up to work with dawn, raised their heads in surprise and looked at the top of Sagiyama Mountain shrouded in dark clouds.

"...Huh?" A middle-aged man with a cloth band tied on his forehead and a bag of praying ema on his shoulders raised his head and looked at the top of Mount Samagiri in confusion.

In confusion, his narrowed eyes gradually widened in surprise. He staggered back two steps and pointed to the top of Mount Samagiri:

"what is that?!"

I saw.

On the top of Sagiyama Mountain with undulating clouds and mist.

A vague, irregular prismatic building slowly revealed its appearance.

The building is very huge and hangs over Mount Sagi!

The red mist shrouded the place, making the building appear looming.

It was like another Mount Sagi suddenly appeared hanging upside down, facing the peak of the real Mount Sagi!

"That's a house?!"

"Where is the miko-sama? Go and call the miko-sama!"

"...Miko-sama, you should be on the mountain now..."

"what to do…"

Everyone looked at each other in astonishment.

Many of the people living here chose to settle here because they were harmed by ghosts or were former members of the Demon Slayer Squad.

They also see members of the Demon Slayer Corps every day, so they are much more tolerant of such supernatural things.

When I first see this situation, I will not choose to panic and run away, but subconsciously want to solve it.

Just as people on the street gathered nervously in front of their homes, ordinary members of the Demon Slayer Squad ran out one after another.

Wearing black uniforms with Nichirin swords hanging on their waists, they quickly ran over in formation, smiling and softly comforting the crowd:

"do not worry!"

"It's safe! Please trust us!"

A member of the Demon Slayer Corps was covered in sweat. He looked at the residents in front of him who far outnumbered the Demon Slayer Corps members, and felt dizzy.

"Captain!" He turned his head and shouted to the members of the Demon Slayer Corps wearing the same clothes on the other side: "What's going on?"

"I don't know!" the captain replied loudly to the team members, and his voice came from the other end of the noisy crowd:

"But, since the Lord said it's okay."

"Then it will be fine!"

…

…

Underground at Edo Castle (Kyoto).

Infinite city.

"Paji!"

As the viscous blood-colored liquid exploded, another translucent light red spherical egg slipped from the trunk of the giant vascular tree.

As the spherical egg slid from the trunk to the root, it finally slowly hit another spherical egg.

Look around.

In Infinite City, a layer of spreading and undulating red egg mountains has been built.

Dark red humanoid figures were curled up in their balls, their chests slowly rising and falling with the rhythm of their breathing.

"Dang rang... dang rang..." Naru lowered her head, her hands weakly played on the strings, the word "四" in her eyes was a little distorted, and her eyeballs were dim.

On the side, the remaining five winding ghosts who had lost their self-awareness were leaning on the giant tree of blood vessels, their limbs hanging down like an empty shell.

Blood vessels on the treetops of giant trees.

Creak...

Takehara stretched out his stiff arms and grasped a branch connected to his neck.

Bo!

With a strong force, he pulled out the branch from behind his neck.

At the break of the branch, hot blood splashed everywhere and sprayed in the air.

Bang, bang.

Twisting his neck casually, Takehara stretched out:

"The body has almost adjusted..."

After several days of training, coupled with the continuous replenishment of nutrients through Narume's vascular giant tree, Takehara's body finally perfectly harmonized Muzan's flesh and blood.

At the same time, it also alleviated the negative state of the breath of the sun contained in Wu Mei's flesh and blood, and Shang Quanna's cannibalizing the soul blood.

The reason why Rihu's negative state could be alleviated so quickly was due to the fact that Takehara's body contained Shang Quanna's blood.

Clenching his fists, Takehara felt an unprecedented power in his body.

He lowered his eyes, his tone suddenly changed, and he said slowly in a Wuhan voice:

"...Now, just wait for the blue Higan flower to appear."

"Damn miko... you can't see what's going on in Mount Samagiri at all..." Muzan was squinting his eyes, observing Mount Samagiri through the eyeballs arranged outside Mount Samagiri.

The red barrier blocked the field of view detected by Narume's Vampire Technique, making it impossible to see the inside of Saagiri Mountain.

"It doesn't matter, we just need to see those two guys come out of the barrier."

Takehara's tone was low, his eyelids drooped, and he gently rubbed his head with his hand.

"So?" Wumei asked. He controlled Takehara's body to turn around and glanced at the balls at the roots of the giant vascular tree:

"What do you want with all this useless junk?"

"Those things won't be of much use after hatching, right?" Wuhan's scarlet eyes glanced at the huddled human form in the egg. He really didn't know the meaning of the existence of these things.

"You don't understand." Takehara did not answer him directly, but decisively denied Wu Kai's thoughts, leaving Wu Kai stunned.

Muzan and Takehara vaguely occupied half of the body, and he felt a little confused about Takehara on the other side.

"...What do you mean?" Wuxian asked. If it were normal, he would definitely be angry at this moment and start thinking of ways to torture the person who said this.

But now, he has become somewhat accustomed to Takehara's existence.

Although they clearly occupy the same body, their thoughts have no intention of becoming the same.

Takehara looked up at the ceiling of Infinite City and murmured:

"If someone wants to live, someone has to sacrifice."

"...You want to live, right."

Takehara lowered his head, his eyelids half-covering his pupils:

"I want, too."

"Always wanted to."
