Reincarnation as Lower Rank Five in Demon Slayer

Chapter 155 The Unexpected News.

In the Infinite Castle, Li Lei, who was still sparring with Kokushibo, suddenly paused for a moment and was instantly beheaded by the flying moon blade.

The sudden turn of events caused Kokushibo to frown and immediately stop his attack.

"Tired? What's wrong with you? Logically speaking, with your current strength, you should have been able to easily dodge that attack."

Hei Shimu said somewhat unhappily, Li Lei's sudden distraction had caused his fighting spirit to be neither high nor low, which made him very unhappy.

Li Lei's headless body went to where the head had fallen off, picked it up, and put it back in its original place.

"Lord Kokushibo, I suddenly remembered that I have an urgent matter to attend to. Your instruction of me will end here."

"And sir, I would call your strength the strongest among the Upper Moons."

"Tired, do you know what you're doing? You're wasting the precious talent that heaven has given you. Come back right now and start cultivating properly."

Kokushibo shouted at Li Lei, clearly Li Lei's words did not satisfy Kokushibo.

"I'm leaving soon, so hurry up and open the door. What are you waiting for?"

After bidding farewell to Kokushibo alone, Li Lei rubbed his neck, which had just been reattached, and twisted his head. He then instructed Nakime to quickly teleport him away.

"Nakime, how dare you!"

Kokushibo's six eyes instantly fixed on Nakime, as if he were about to draw his knife at any moment.

Staring at Upper Moon One Kokushibo's three pairs of murderous eyes, Nakime's jade hand, which was about to activate the Blood Demon Art to teleport Li Lei away from the Infinite Castle, immediately stopped in mid-air. She didn't know what to do, because she couldn't afford to offend either side.

The strongest Upper Moon demon and the strongest Lower Moon demon favored by Muzan-sama—the orders of these two demons contradict each other. Isn't this a deliberate attempt to kill Nakime?

Just as Nakime was caught in a dilemma, Muzan gave her an order to obey Li Lei and send him out of the Infinity Castle.

Upon hearing Muzan's new order, Nakime finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her right hand, which had been frozen in mid-air, plucked the strings of the biwa in her arms and activated the Blood Demon Art to teleport Li Lei away.

Kokushibo, bound by Muzan's orders, could only watch as Li Lei left the Infinity Castle. For him, who placed great importance on social hierarchy, Muzan's commands were always obeyed.

However, Heishibo was still very unwilling. Li Lei's actions, which he saw as a waste of his great talent, made him very uncomfortable.

……

In the darkness, outside the infinite city of the alternate dimension, in an alley of a small town, a door suddenly appeared on the ground, and Li Lei jumped out from it.

With time of his own, Li Lei didn't have time to pay attention to where he was. Instantly, white wings sprouted from his head, and he flew straight in a fixed direction.

Just now, while he was sparring with Kokushibo, news came from the crows outside who were carrying out his orders to search for Tanjiro's family, Akane, and Shinazugawa Genya's location: Shinazugawa Genya had been found.

Li Lei was overjoyed to hear this news. He had long wanted to study Shinazugawa Genya's Demon Eater physique.

Li Lei was extremely envious of the fact that a human could gain the blood demon techniques and power of a ghost by eating its flesh and blood. His parasitic blood demon technique was simply a way to control other ghosts and use their blood demon techniques.

And indeed, a demon eater can use a demon's Blood Demon Art by consuming part of the demon's flesh and blood, which is clearly a special physique of the protagonist.

Li Lei wanted to understand the principle and apply it to himself. Once he obtained Tanjiro and his sister Nezuko's ability to overcome sunlight, he could surpass the Demon King Muzan and become an ultimate life form that was ageless, immortal, indestructible, and possessed all Blood Demon Arts.

At that time, he had no idea what else in the world could deal with him. Thinking about this, he was a little excited, but Li Lei soon stopped laughing.

Another message came from Crow's subordinates, showing that Shinazugawa Genya's mother had turned into a demon and was attacking Genya and his younger siblings.

If Li Lei doesn't hurry up, he might not even be able to see Shinazugawa Genya's corpse, let alone research his special demon-devouring physique.

"Damn it, why is it flying so slowly! Faster, faster!"

Li Lei flapped his wings rapidly, his figure streaking across the sky like a shooting star, moving at incredible speed, yet Li Lei still felt it was too slow.

In an ordinary family in Kyobashi Ward, Tokyo Prefecture, a heartbreaking tragedy has already occurred.

In the bedroom of the house, there were six children, five dead and one injured. Xuanmi was the injured child. At this moment, blood and tears were flowing from the wound on his face, and he was crying out in heartbreaking cries.

He kept shaking his younger siblings, hoping they would wake up, but all he got in response was his own pitiful echo and the gradually cooling bodies of his younger siblings.

Li Lei finally arrived at Shinazugawa Genya's house. Looking at the scene before him, he sighed. He was too late after all.
