Chapter 104: Ghost Month Gathering
"Why are you still like this?!"
Looking at Muzan's look of disgust, Kokushibo knew that she was not disgusted with this charred body, but the red sparks flashing on this body.
This extremely timid guy is full of fear of all unknown things and variables.
In response to Muzan's question, Kokushibo shook his head expressionlessly, stared at the other party and spoke in a deep voice.
"do not know……"
Hearing Kokushibo's perfunctory answer, Muzan frowned and was about to say something but stopped. He turned to look at Mingnu and waved his little hand.
"Call the others over as well."
After receiving the order, Mingnu lowered her head and responded softly.
"Yes…"
Then she waved the pipa three times in succession, and three figures instantly appeared in front of her. Seeing a trace of daze flashed across their faces, she knew that they were also suddenly teleported here.
Mingnu's already pale face became even uglier because so many ghosts were teleported in at once. She lay there holding her pipa, breathing rapidly.
But the ghosts only glanced at her before shifting their gaze towards the beautiful yet dangerous figure above.
The moment he met their cold gazes, he came to his senses and immediately half-knelt on the ground to show his submission, while Kokushibo thought about it and half-knelt down after them.
The ghosts that were teleported in were of different shapes. There was an evil ghost with pink hair and tattoos all over his body who knelt down and stared at Kokushibo on the side with a look of surprise and suspicion in his eyes.
The words in his eyes show that he is [Upper Three Akaza]!
The beautiful white-haired girl next to him was scantily clad and had blood on her mouth, as if she had just finished a meal. She was holding a broken arm in her hand. Judging from the tattered luxurious clothes on the arm, the owner of the broken arm must be a wealthy person.
The words are engraved in her beautiful eyes. The beautiful girl is also a deadly evil demon, [Upper Six Dakimaki]!
However, the third evil ghost was different from the previous ones. Not to mention his dark and thin appearance as an old man, just the fact that he was curled up into a ball and didn't even dare to breathe was enough to make people look down on him. But how could an evil ghost who could appear here be so incompetent as he looked?
Although there are no words in his eyes, he is [Upper String Four Hantengu]!
Just when all the demons thought that Muzan was about to officially start the Upper Moon Meeting, Muzan gave a cold order to Naruto.
"It's not over yet... continue."
Mingnu instantly understood what Muzan meant and climbed up. Although she was extremely weak, she still forced herself to play the pipa.
Qiang~
After the sound of a pipa, six evil spirits with different appearances appeared in the Infinite Castle, but they were not teleported together with the upper-rank demons.
A few ghosts looked around the intricate Infinite City, and then set their sights on a few upper-rank ghosts they had never met before.
As if he didn't notice Muzan above his head, Bingye, the short-haired evil demon with scars all over his face among the six demons, looked at the upper ranks who were half-kneeling on the ground with a smile, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"Oh, isn't this the Upper Moon? We are both members of the Twelve Demon Moons, but we have never met before. How come there are only four of them? Oh~ Could it be that they were killed by the demon hunters?"
"Really weak..."
Several other lower ranks also sneered, making Bing Ye's expression even more smug.
Inoue, who was half-kneeling on the ground, subconsciously wanted to stand up and make these arrogant guys pay the price, but Wuzan was right above him and he didn't dare to act rashly.
But just when Bing Ye was about to say something with a sarcastic look on his face, a steady voice sounded behind him.
"…The Fourth Lower Moon, huh… You're being a little too rash…"
When the voice came out, Bing Ye subconsciously turned around to check, but at this moment a overwhelming sense of crisis pressed down on him. Under this terrifying pressure, Bing Ye couldn't help but breathe rapidly and sweat profusely.
He gritted his teeth and tried his best to move his body, wanting to jump back and escape, but a large dark hand got there first, grabbed his neck fiercely and lifted him up.
"Well……"
In mid-air, Bing Ye felt suffocated. With his blurry eyes, he could only see that the person who was pinching him looked like a charred corpse for some reason, but there was a clear message written on the middle pair of his six eyes.
【Upper String One】
He wanted to use force to pry open the hand that was holding him, but the other party's strength was as great as a pair of steel pliers. Saliva flowed from his mouth, and the faces of the lower-rank soldiers who had originally been watching the fun now showed fear.
And Kokushibo still looked coldly at Bingye who was held up by him. On his charred hands, sparks gradually flickered in line with the frequency of Kokushibo's breathing. Then, in the surprised eyes of the ghosts, red flames ignited and bombarded Bingye's body.
"Aaaaaaaaaa!!!"
The painful and twisted screams echoed in the Infinite City. The burning sick leaf struggled hard, his legs flopping like a drowning man. He raised his head and looked upward. He had not yet reacted to who that woman was, but on the brink of death, he finally came to his senses.
"Save... me, Master Muzan..."
The fear of death made him want to shed tears for Muzan, but the red flames had already burned his tear glands, and Muzan also showed a look of disgust at this moment.
“…die…”
With a shake of his arm, the flame burning on Kokushibo's arm instantly became more intense, and under the bombardment of the flame, Bingye slowly gave up struggling.
Wow.
Finally, it turned into ashes and scattered to the ground from Kokushibo's hands, which made the hearts of all the demons present, including the Upper Moons, skip a beat.
In addition to Lord Muzan, he also has the ability to kill demons!
Muzan frowned slightly. Even if the Lower Rank, who did not get much blood from her, was burned to death by the Shura Fire, the only feedback to her would be a heat in her body.
The real reason why he frowned was that Kokushibo actually mastered the red flame.
Just when Muzan was feeling fearful, Kokushibo's cold voice sounded again.
He was facing the lower string, the flame on his hand still burning, and he spoke coldly.
"Now... I want to show my respect to Master Muzan..."
Boom!
The sounds of knees and foreheads hitting the ground rang out almost simultaneously, and the Lower Ones knelt down towards Wuzan, trembling all over.
And Kokushibo also returned to his original position and bowed his head respectfully to Muzan.
Looking at Kokushibo's appearance, a feeling of pleasure suddenly surged into Muzan's heart.
Yes, Kokushibo is my most trusted ally and subordinate for hundreds of years. How could he no longer be loyal to me just because he gained a little unexpected power?
Thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on her cold and beautiful face.
It was precisely because of her trust in her ally that she continued to not read Kokushibo's mind, and did not realize that she could no longer hear what her ally was thinking at the moment.
With his head lowered, Kokushibo's face was calm. He had only one purpose in showing respect to Muzan at this moment, which was to dispel her fear of him.
Ever since the last battle in the Swordsmith Village, Muzan often teleported himself to the Infinite Castle to either suppress or praise others, wanting to see his attitude.
Now that he has the idea of resurrecting Yoriichi, he naturally has to try his best to dispel Muzan's fear and control over him to prevent him from discovering him.
After all... my boss is more afraid of that man than anyone else...
