Less than three minutes had passed, and Muzan had recovered so quickly?
The next moment, Minoru saw doors spread across the ground.
His pupils suddenly contracted, and a surge of anger shot up his spine to the crown of his head.
He instantly understood Muzan’s sinister intention.
This scumbag definitely wanted to drag Yuji and the others into the Infinity Castle as hostages.
“Wishful thinking!” Minoru’s eyes blazed with cold light.
He would never allow the Kamado family to suffer any harm before his eyes.
“Binding Vow!”
“Sacrifice the ability to harm others with Cursed Energy in exchange for ultimate speed for one second!”
In the next instant, countless extremely condensed black Cursed Energy threads burst forth from his fingertips and covered the entire ground.
Those tough doors were shredded like wood chips thrown into a pulverizer.
“Binding Vow can be used like this?” Megumi was stunned by this move.
“Very quick reaction.
But did you forget something?” A cold voice rang out.
Several tentacles with sharp bone spurs rushed towards Minoru.
Minoru’s right fist, wrapped in dark red Cursed Energy, shot out.
Boom!
Fist met tentacle, and under the effect of the Cursed Technique ‘Dismantle’, the tentacles were instantly cut into seven or eight pieces.
Blood and disgusting bodily fluids splattered everywhere, landing on the snow with a corrosive sizzling sound, emitting wisps of green smoke.
“You are utterly disgusting!”
Minoru shook the blood from his fist, his gaze sweeping across the air.
Above, Kokushibo and Doma completely ignored him.
They headed straight for Yuji and his group, who were desperately fleeing.
Doma looked at the Kamado family’s women and children as if they were delicious desserts about to be eaten.
‘Not good!’ An alarm blared in Minoru’s heart.
He stomped his foot and darted forward without hesitation.
But Muzan quickly followed.
Dozens more thicker, thorny whips struck from all directions, sealing off all his routes of advance.
Muzan spread his arms, his pupils filled with mockery and an arrogance that saw through everything.
“Your opponent is me.”
His keen battle intuition had already grasped the key.
“Every time you use your power, there’s a huge price, isn’t there?
Your aura is also rapidly diminishing.
You have at most, half a minute.
You won’t be able to use that power anymore, will you?”
“What?
He could clearly feel that although the aura of the man before him was still powerful, it was far less solid than before, even carrying a hint of instability.
“How ridiculous.
I thought it was some incredible power, but it turns out to be just a paper tiger bluffing.” Muzan’s tone became increasingly arrogant.
After several skirmishes, his judgment was being validated step by step.
“I didn’t sense any trace of that man’s breathing technique on you.
Your slashes, your flames, though powerful, lack the kind of strength that can truly put me to death.”
“Otherwise, with that previous blow, it wouldn’t have been half of my body falling into the Infinity Castle, but my ashes.”
“Admit it, your powerful strength must come with a huge cost and time limit.
Can you still unleash flames of that intensity now?”
Every word from Muzan was like a heavy hammer, precisely striking the truth.
But only the first half of it.
Looking at Muzan’s extremely arrogant expression, Minoru’s face was calm, but deep inside, he was suppressing laughter that was almost bursting forth.
This demon king, who had lived for a thousand years, indeed possessed battle wisdom and insight far beyond his imagination.
But he was too arrogant, thinking he could control everything.
That’s right, he didn’t have a nichirin blade, no breathing technique, and the Sukuna power’s usage limit was almost used up.
But who told you that my power couldn’t be used anymore?
Minoru had already found the key to breaking the situation.
“Ah!”
In the distance, Kie and the children’s terrified screams tore through the night sky.
“Above!” Yuji roared, his eyes bloodshot.
Doma and Kokushibo were already close, just above the tree canopy.
The two demons stared at them indifferently, as if looking down on ants.
“Oh dear, we’ve been discovered.” Doma smiled, fanning himself, his tone carefree.
“They all look so delicious, it’s troublesome, which one should I start with?”
Kokushibo, on the other hand, said nothing.
His six eyes simultaneously locked onto Megumi, who was holding the children, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword.
That heavy pressure stiffened Megumi’s entire body, even his Divine Dogs let out painful whimpers.
These were definitely Special Grade Cursed Spirit level beings!
…
Muzan said with malicious glee, “Watching your cherished possessions shatter before your eyes…
that must be a supreme spectacle.”
“Is that so?” Minoru’s lips finally curled into an extremely cold arc.
Muzan’s eyes gleamed with cold light, and a cruel arc formed at the corner of his lips.
“Watching important things shatter before one’s eyes, isn’t that the most interesting drama for humans?”
“No.
I meant, do you really think my power can’t be used anymore?”
Retreat?
Sit back and wait for death?
That was not his style!
Since conventional methods couldn’t break the situation and Muzan wanted to play so badly…
Then let’s bet everything!
“You’re right.”
Minoru suddenly looked up, his face not showing any anxiety, but instead a defiant smile that made Muzan’s heart palpitate.
“My power indeed has a time limit.
But…”
He raised his hands, forming a bizarre hand seal before his chest.
“Killing all of you is more than enough.”
“Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine!”
The entire world was stained with an ominous crimson light.
Centered on Minoru, a shrine descended upon the world.
It was built from countless bones, and a river of blood flowed on the ground.
The domain enveloped and locked down the unprepared Muzan, Kokushibo, and Doma.
Aside from the three demons, Minoru’s domain did not affect anything else.
“What?!
What is this power?!
“How could he still use such a terrifying ability?!”
Muzan’s arrogant expression was replaced by horror.
He thought Minoru was bluffing, but it was real.
Kokushibo’s six calm eyes showed an emotion called shock, while Doma’s smile froze.
They could feel that all their connections to the outside world, including the Infinity Castle, were forcibly severed at this moment.
They had been tricked!
They were dragged into a sure-kill space completely dominated by this man before them.
Puff!
Puff!
Puff!
Puff!
Before they could react, within the domain, continuous cutting sounds rang out.
“Ugh!”
Even as strong as an Upper Rank, countless deep, bone-visible wounds burst open on Doma’s body, cutting him into minced meat.
Kokushibo’s uniform turned into rags, and countless fine cuts appeared on his skin.
Even Muzan was continuously cut, regenerated, and pulverized again in this unavoidable storm of slashes.
