When his gaze returned to Xia Yan's side, his pupils suddenly contracted.
Two girls were standing gracefully beside Xia Yan. The one on the outermost side had large purple eyes and delicate features, with a side ponytail adorned with a purple butterfly hair accessory. However, she looked somewhat dazed.
She is Kanao Tsuyuri, the stepson of Shinobu Kocho and Kanae Kocho.
As Kanae's revenge battle, it was her duty as her stepson to join the fight.
However, Douma only glanced at her once before looking away, instead staring blankly at the woman holding hands with Natsuhiko.
She was a beautiful woman who exuded gentleness from the inside out. She had a cascade of jet-black hair, deep yet soft pale purple eyes, and two butterfly-shaped hairpins symmetrically placed on either side of her head.
Her protruding belly suggested that she was about to give birth.
However, none of these were the reasons why Doma was stunned.
What surprised him was the other party's identity!
Although she wasn't wearing the Demon Slayer uniform and the butterfly-wing-like haori, but rather a loose maternity dress, Doma, with his excellent memory, recognized her at a glance.
It was Kanae Kocho, the Flower Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, who should have died by his own hand four years ago!
Upon seeing the other person, Doma immediately recognized their race!
Although he didn't sense Muzan's aura from her, there was no doubt that the woman in front of him was not human!
"Wow! You actually survived by becoming a ghost!?"
Chapter 405 Brave Domo, Unafraid of Difficulties
"Wow! You actually survived by becoming a demon!? I'm so moved!" At this moment, tears even welled up in Doma's eyes. "I'm so moved! As a demon slayer, you actually survived by becoming a demon!"
Even he himself probably couldn't tell whether he was faking it or genuinely moved.
However, while speaking, Doma also transmitted everything he saw to Muzan through Muzan's cells.
This time, however, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no response.
A look of surprise inevitably appeared on Doma's face. He had been a demon for nearly two hundred years, but this was the first time such a situation had occurred.
He could sense that the connection between him and Muzan had not been severed, but had simply changed from face-to-face communication to a message in a bottle.
'Was it one of the other drugs that were injected into the body along with the poison...?'
Almost instantly, Doma reached a conclusion, but it had no effect, because this drug was not harmful, but it was more difficult to break down than poison, and it was also very secretive.
If Doma hadn't actively connected with Muzan but received no response, he himself wouldn't have discovered this.
"Moshi moshi~, Mr. Doma, you can't contact Muzan, even if you're an Upper Moon demon, it would take at least a night to break down this kind of drug..."
Seeing Doma's unusual reaction, Kanae Kocho said with a smile.
Although she was practically killed by Doma and only survived because Natsuhiko forcibly turned her into a demon, she didn't actually resent Doma that much.
She didn't even feel as much hatred for him as Shinobu Kocho did; instead, she felt sorry for him.
However, she was also very clear that the Upper Moon demons were beings that had to be killed! And although her younger sister acted perfectly normal, Kanae, as the older sister, could tell that there was a knot in her heart.
Only by killing Doma can this knot be untied!
Kanae came here today as a witness!
"Eh~ Really! I never expected such a drug to exist. It's truly amazing. It seems I'll have to kill you all first, and then figure out what to do next..."
Even so, Doma did not hold out much hope, believing that he could still live to see the end of the day.
After all, his battle with Xia Yan had already made him realize that Xia Yan's ability to kill Akaza was not due to luck, but to real strength!
He found the poison very difficult to break down, and even with antibodies, a large dose would still cause a lot of trouble.
Even a slightly weaker toxicity would prevent one from exerting their full strength.
Add to that a little girl whose specific circumstances are unknown, and the former Flower Pillar who has become a demon, and it's clear that my chances of surviving are slim.
but--
"It seems like I won't survive this time... But it's really interesting!"
Despite facing a desperate situation, Douma laughed instead, without a trace of fear in his eyes.
After all, as a person without emotions, he didn't even have the most basic fear.
Doma was born with a rainbow-colored membrane and hair color as pure as white oak.
Doma's parents believed that Doma was a special child who was sure to hear the voice of the gods.
For this reason, Doma's parents and the religion "Eternal Bliss" founded by them both regarded Doma as the "Son of God".
But in reality, he had never heard the voice of the gods.
Doma, who was born with exceptional intelligence, thought his father was hopelessly stupid and that the Eternal Paradise Cult founded by his parents was a boring religion.
When a group of believers gathered to worship and pray for him, Doma thought these adults who were complaining to a child were very foolish.
He believed that there was no such thing as a paradise, nor any gods or Buddhas. He thought these poor people didn't even understand such a simple truth.
If Doma had received the right education, he might have become a great man.
However, under his parents' guidance, he could only watch a group of foolish adults crying and complaining to him every day.
He also began to believe that he was born into this world to help those poor people achieve happiness.
The smarter a person is, the more likely they are to overthink.
In this environment, Doma's thoughts became increasingly erratic, and he became unable to understand human emotions.
One day, the mother discovered that the father had slept with many female believers, so she hacked him to death. In a state of near madness, the mother also committed suicide by poisoning herself.
At that time, young Doma was not moved at all by such a huge change. He only thought that the smell of blood was very bad and that it would be troublesome to deal with the aftermath.
When Doma was twenty years old, he met Muzan Kibutsuji and asked Muzan to turn him into a demon.
Doma was deeply moved by meeting Muzan, and Muzan later became the god of the Eternal Paradise Cult.
After becoming a demon, Doma, whose thinking was already different from that of ordinary people, became even more heterogeneous, believing that eating humans and merging them into one with himself would be the way to give them true liberation.
However, he became increasingly unable to understand human emotions, so even knowing that he might die, he did not feel the slightest fear.
"How can you still laugh at a time like this! Go to hell and repent!"
The butterfly, suppressing her anger and resentment, charged towards Doma with light and graceful steps, sword in hand. Her haori fluttered freely in the wind, as beautiful as a butterfly in flight.
Her doll-like, delicate face contorted with rage.
At the same time, the throwing weapons hidden in his left hand, each infused with different poisons, were also fired mercilessly at Doma.
She was never a kind or gentle girl. Her whole family died because of evil spirits, leaving only her and her sister to depend on each other. She was filled with hatred for evil spirits.
As a result, his only remaining relative was almost killed by Douma.
Even though Kanae survived by becoming a demon with Natsuhiko's help, she could never forget the feeling of her sister collapsing in her arms, her body slowly losing its warmth.
Upon seeing Shinobu Kocho launch an attack, Kanao Rika, who had been waiting by Kanae Kocho's side, also rushed forward.
As a child rescued from human traffickers by the Butterfly Sisters, although not good with words, she had long regarded them as family.
Therefore, his hatred for Doma was no less than that for Shinobu Kocho!
Chapter 406 Practical Tips for Dealing with Evil Spirits
Ping——
The hidden weapon collided with the iron fan, producing a crisp sound.
Several kunai, shuriken, and two oddly shaped hidden weapons, resembling small durians, fell to the ground.
Although Shinobu Kocho threw a kunai that Doma couldn't catch, exclaiming that it was too fast.
However, it was only by taking advantage of the surprise attack that they were able to do it. With the child model on guard, they simply waved their iron fan twice and easily blocked the incoming projectile.
However, under Xia Yan's tutelage, Shinobu's offensive tactics were naturally not so simple.
Click click——
The sound of the machine running could be heard.
bump--
The next second, the small iron ball, covered in spikes and resembling a durian, exploded on the ground.
Doma looked at the hidden weapons on the ground with some surprise, but it was too late to dodge or defend.
Although the short, sharp spikes only barely grazed Doma's skin, they were enough to inject the venom into his body.
The other hidden weapons were just ordinary hidden weapons, and they weren't even poisoned.
Its purpose was merely to confuse Shinobu's enemies, since no one dared to gamble on whether it contained a poison that could kill them instantly!
At the same time, Shinobu Kocho and Kanao Tsuyuri, who had launched the attack, had also rushed in front of Doma and launched their attacks from the front and back.
As the source of Insect Breathing, Flower Breathing's sword shape is also light and graceful, but it has a sharper feel to it.
After all, in terms of power, Insect Breathing is not much as powerful as Flower Breathing. It was a breathing technique that Shinobu Kocho developed to allow her to fight demons even though she couldn't cut off their heads.
With nimble steps, Kurihana Kanao made it impossible to pinpoint her location, and in the blink of an eye, she covered a distance of dozens of meters.
She arrived in front of Doma almost at the same time as Shinobu Kocho.
Kanao Tsukihara's Nichirin Blade is a beautifully crafted katana, almost like a work of art.
The tsuba is simply round with a flower pattern, and the blade is pink like cherry blossoms, indicating that its constitution is extremely compatible with the breath of flowers.
In fact, in terms of adaptability to the "breath of flowers" and individual talent, Kanao Kuriki is stronger than Kanae Chocho.
She learned the Flower Breathing technique simply by watching Kanae practice.
With the momentum of a charge, Kanao Tsuyuri launched a sweeping attack on Doma without hesitation.
The cherry-red blade in her hand was wrapped with beautiful petals, and she unleashed three arc-shaped slashes from bottom to top. The speed of the sword strikes was so fast that it gave the illusion of facing three slashes at the same time.
It is the Flower Breath - Fourth Form - Red Flower Robe!
It was even more powerful than the move Kanae had used before that Xia Yan had seen!
Xia Yan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, giving this other sister-in-law, who had little to do with him, a second look.
