Chapter 149 Setting a Trap for Muzan
Tanjiro(╥﹏╥)
Inosuke...(  _)ノ｜
After undergoing rehabilitation training with the Butterfly Sisters, the two women felt as if their bodies had been hollowed out.
Zenitsu was only excited by having physical contact with the nurses at the Butterfly Mansion, and he thoroughly enjoyed it! He even really enjoyed the process!
Zenitsu is truly amazing; he easily accomplished what others couldn't!
The problem is that this is just the beginning.
Li Muyang summoned Li Yichen and the other two to give Tanjiro special training.
This might be the last time Tanjiro wanted to see the three of them!
In terms of theoretical knowledge, Li Muyang had already given Tanjiro a crash course, and had also made arrangements on the order in which he should train.
Therefore, there is only one purpose in bringing these three people here now.
Real-world application!
To put it bluntly, it's about beating up Tanjiro!
The trio showed interest at the prospect of beating up the successor of Sun Breathing, the protagonist of Demon Slayer.
To Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and a pig (Inosuke), it was nothing short of a devil's smile.
Li Yichen's methods against Tanjiro, Feng Feifei's methods against Zenitsu, and Cao Zhi's methods against Inosuke were all incredibly cruel! It's only because Li Muyang is there as a caregiver that they don't have to worry about getting hurt; ordinary injuries heal overnight after receiving treatment.
However, their increase in strength is real! The Demon Slayer main trio has become stronger at a visible rate!
Even Nezuko.
Li Muyang also devised a training plan for her. Others thought that Nezuko could become stronger and replenish her energy simply by sleeping, but in reality, she could absorb and transform the thin spiritual energy in the air while sleeping!
Just as her Blood Demon Art can burn away the Blood Demon Art of other demons, it can also burn spiritual energy to transform it into her own power.
Therefore, while training Tanjiro, Li Muyang was also teaching Nezuko how to train in the small world... which meant letting her sleep.
There's no need to teach her anything else. After Li Muyang's treatment and guidance, Nezuko has indeed changed many of her demonic habits, but in terms of consciousness, she hasn't fully recovered her original human nature. Teaching her too much might backfire.
After some time of turmoil, Kagaya Ubuyashiki gave the order for the Demon Slayer Corps to begin its formal operation against Muzan and the Twelve Demon Moons.
Flame Pillar Kyojuro Rengoku goes to investigate the Mugen Train incident.
Following closely behind, Li Muyang had the trio take Tanjiro and the others and set off as well.
You can't miss out on the fun!
What? Where's Li Muyang?
Yes, he's a doctor, and also a support staff member!
How can you send logistics personnel to the battlefield right from the start?
Even if this logistics personnel might be stronger than all the combat personnel combined.
Actually, there was another reason for sending the three of them.
Li Muyang wants the trio to secretly spread a message!
That is: the clue of the blue spider lily!
"Mr. Li, are you sure this will work?" Kagaya Ubuyashiki looked at the blue spider lily that Li Muyang had taken out and asked incredulously, "Can this really fool Muzan?"
Li Muyang smiled calmly: "Don't worry, this is just a test! Whether Muzan believes it or not, he will definitely send someone to try it out! With the Blue Spider Lily here, we might even get some unexpected gains."
Tianyin, who was silently observing the blue spider lily, asked with some surprise, "Mr. Li, where did you get this blue spider lily? It doesn't look like an ordinary flower, does it? Could it be real?"
Li Muyang shrugged, half-laughing and half-crying: "I'm sorry, if I really had a blue spider lily, I would have taken it to Muzan to fish for him long ago! This is indeed not an ordinary spider lily, but it is just a special variety that I cultivated and modified, not a real blue spider lily!"
"However, this thing does have special effects. It contains a lot of life energy and soul energy. For ordinary people, it may be a good thing for prolonging life, but for evil spirits... it may be a deadly poison!"
There was one thing Li Muyang didn't mention: he had added something to the blue spider lily. The energy inside seemed to be absorbable, but in reality, he always had control over it. If someone were to swallow it, then... Boom!
Don't blame me if it blows up! After all, he's just a weak, pitiful, and helpless doctor. If he doesn't take some special measures, how can he deal with annoying medical disputes?
As the three of them were talking, Kagaya Ubuyashiki suddenly sighed and said to Li Muyang with apology and seriousness, "Mr. Li, no matter what, you must put your own safety first. It's okay if Muzan can't solve it. If we really can't, we'll have time later. Please don't force it!"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki was still a little worried about the plan proposed by Li Muyang, mainly because he was concerned about Li Muyang's safety. Even though he knew that Li Muyang was very powerful, he was still quite worried.
Li Muyang remained quite calm: "Don't worry, I came up with the plan, so I'm definitely confident. It's just that... the forging village might..."
The Ubuyashiki couple sighed deeply. If they were going to put on an act, they had to do it fully, which meant that they might know the sword-forging village was going to be attacked, but they still had to pretend they didn't.
“It’s alright. As long as the people are still alive, the sword-forging village can be rebuilt!” Ubuyashiki Kagaya was not one to hesitate and made a decisive decision.
Even though the Twelve Demon Moons under Muzan's command became more arrogant during this period, he himself still hid and dared not show his face.
If things continue like this, what if one day this idiot suddenly gets his act together and starts infecting ordinary people on a large scale? That would be a huge problem! Especially now that he knows there are ghosts lurking in Tokyo! Kagaya Ubuyashiki has to make a decision!
The longer they drag this out, the worse it will be. Right now, their Demon Slayer Corps is at its strongest in history! The Pillars are starting to activate their Demon Slayer Marks one after another. If they don't fight now, when will they?
You can't act until you see the rabbit; to lure these devils in, you must offer bait that is attractive enough to them!
The sword-forging village, plus the blue spider lily!
All for the sake of successfully infiltrating Li Muyang into Muzan's ranks!
Ah!
A doctor from the Central Plains, a doctor who may possess the ability to transform demons into perfect beings, a doctor who may help Muzan overcome the demons' fear of sunlight!
I'll just ask that scumbag boss if he dares to gamble! If he dares to follow!
Given Muzan's character of being blinded by petty gains and forgetting righteousness, coupled with Li Muyang's long-term concealment, he will definitely take the bait!
Otherwise, why would Li Muyang have remained hidden in this world for so long? Does he really think he's just a nobody? Besides teaching students, his favorite thing to do is to have fun!
What could be more carefree than being around a scumbag boss?
Hey!
That's how you play!
A few days later, good news came from Kyojuro Rengoku and his group! Akaza, the Upper Moon Three, had been defeated by them!
This might be the Demon Slayer Corps' best achievement in hundreds of years! They've slain an Upper Moon demon!
Akaza is quite strong, and he is probably one of the few Upper Moon demons who is not too annoying. In fact, according to the information sent back by the trio, he did break free from the limitations of a demon at the last moment!
Ordinary demons die when their necks are severed by a Nichirin Blade; this is the limit of a demon's power.
However, nothing is absolute. If a demon has an extremely strong obsession before death, it may break through this limit and regenerate its head. Even if it is beheaded again by the Nichirin Blade, it will not die, but it will still fear sunlight.
Surrounded by the crowd, Akaza broke through the limitations!
Unfortunately, besides the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen and the protagonist Tanjiro, he also faced three overpowered opponents!
Li Yichen, Feng Feifei, and Cao Zhi were utterly destroyed by Yiwozuo! Their bones were reduced to ashes! How can they be restored?
Even if this guy was the most human-like of the Twelve Demon Moons in the original story, he is now an enemy, so he can only die!
Akaza's death caused a huge uproar on both sides!
The Demon Slayer Corps' fighting spirit surged instantly!
Meanwhile, Muzan's situation is a bit awkward!
Upper Moon Three is dead?
Although he died in the siege, he was indeed dead, and he had no chance to escape the encirclement!
This is very scary!
The demons under Muzan's command were all somewhat terrified, fearing that the demon king Muzan would take his anger out on them when he was in a bad mood! Muzan often did this kind of thing.
However, when they gathered in Infinite City for a meeting, they were shocked to find that Boss Tu's expression did not seem as angry as they had imagined.
why?
Of course, it's because of the message Akaza sent him before he died!
While Li Muyang and his friends were chatting with Tanjiro on the train, Li Yichen and his two companions spread the word that their teacher might have found the Blue Spider Lily! There might be a chance to turn demons back into humans!
This message originally came from Lower Moon One, Enmu. Unfortunately, after being discovered by everyone, he quickly met his end. Fortunately, before dying, this guy, who was obsessed with Muzan, passed the message to Akaza who had arrived!
Both ghosts brought this news!
The keyword has been triggered!
Can Muzan still be angry? Although this information cost an Upper Moon demon, at least the information was valuable!
Originally, Muzan wanted to get rid of the useless Lower Moon demons, but now he has no such intention and has asked them to find him a doctor who has mastered the Blue Spider Lily!
Well, Muzan must know who Li Yichen and the other two's teacher is. After all, how could Muzan not have any information about a doctor with superb medical skills who has been saving so many members of the Demon Slayer Corps?
The problem was that since they couldn't find the Demon Slayer Corps' headquarters, Li Muyang spent most of his time holed up there and didn't come out. The demons couldn't do anything about it! Even knowing the enemy had a healer, they were helpless if they couldn't find him! They couldn't target him!
Things are different now! Muzan has given a direct order: Capture this doctor! Alive! If all else fails, bring back the Blue Spider Lily!
Therefore, everyone except Nakime was mobilized!
Muzan's emphasis on the Blue Spider Lily exceeded Li Muyang's expectations, but fortunately it was still within his expectations!
Let's see who has the last laugh!
On one of the Upper Moon Five's suggestions, Gyokko, one of the Twelve Demon Moons, decided to attack a key logistics base of the Demon Slayer Corps. He just so happened to have a clue: the address of the Demon Slayer Corps' sword-forging village! There might even be rumors of the Blue Spider Lily there! A double win!
