Chapter 138 The Return of the Underworld
The red flame began to burn, slowly spreading from the head of the evil ghost transformed by the herbalist to the whole body, and what was even more terrifying was the burning of the soul.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!"
Severe pain spread all over his body, from inside to outside. The herbalist transformed into an evil ghost let out a shrill scream and waved his sharp ghost claws around, trying to hurt Kokushibo so that he would stop torturing him.
But in the end, the ghost claws slowly dropped, and its eyes gradually became blurred.
Under the scorching flames, most of the part of his body belonging to Muzan was burned away, and the blood of Kokushibo began to dominate, and his soul was even branded with Kokushibo's mark by the flames.
And this is exactly what Kokushibo wished.
Seeing that the herbalist no longer resisted, Kokushibo withdrew his hand, and the flames dissipated from the other's body, revealing a charred body underneath that was still steaming.
After staring at him for a long time, Kokushibo confirmed that he had no will to resist, and spoke to him in a deep voice.
“…Give me your eyeballs.”
Pfft!
Without hesitation, the moment he heard Kokushibo's order, the evil ghost had already placed his hands on his eye sockets, then stretched out his fingers and forcibly took out his eyeballs and placed them in Kokushibo's open hands.
Looking at the several fleshy buds extending from the other's empty eye sockets and the evil ghost's eyeballs recovering very slowly, Kokushibo nodded slightly in satisfaction, casually threw the eyeball in his hand out of the house, and rolled it into the dirty mud.
He took the Undying Slash [Open the Door] at his waist in his hand, looked at it quietly for a long time, and then handed it to the evil spirit who was stunned without Kokushibo's order.
Then he gave the order again in a deep voice.
"Pull out the knife..."
Upon receiving the order, the evil ghost whose soul was branded by Kokushibo naturally carried out the order immediately. However, as soon as he grasped the hilt of the knife, his body began to tremble constantly, and fear reappeared in his originally lifeless eyes.
Seeing this, Kokushibo frowned but he still refused to give up. He leaned close to the evil ghost's ear, his six ferocious eyes widened, looking particularly terrifying at the moment. He stared at the other party and kept talking like a devil's whisper.
“Draw your sword…Draw your sword…”
Covering his head, the evil ghost's soul seemed to be torn apart and his brain was in excruciating pain under the struggle between Kokushibo's constant orders and his own instinctive fear.
With tears streaming down his face, the evil ghost was breathing heavily, his pupils trembling violently, looking at the long sword in his hand, and finally he could no longer bear the huge pressure.
"Ah!"
With a hysterical roar, [Open Door] was unsheathed at this moment, and the black karma instantly climbed up the evil ghost's arm, greedily sucking his vitality.
The evil ghost, who was already unable to recover quickly due to the large amount of Muzan's blood being burned and the suppression of his self-healing ability by the Shura Fire, now had his life sucked away by [Opening the Door] and fell to his knees.
The withered arm drooped limply, and the door in his hand slipped to the ground. Kokushibo stepped forward to pick it up, and after observing it carefully for a long time, he took out the ball of blood emitting divine light and strange fragrance from his arms.
After smearing it on the pitch-black blade of [Open the Door], seeing the blood quickly seeping into the blade, Kokushibo knew that he was right. This blood was also an indispensable sacrifice for resurrecting the deceased!
Putting the knife back into the devil's hand, Kokushibo suppressed the excitement in his heart and gave the devil his final order in a deep voice.
"Commit suicide..."
Upon receiving the order, the evil ghost raised the long sword with his withered arms and tremblingly placed it on his neck. Under the gaze of Kokushibo, he slashed it with force. Blood spurted out from the blade and splashed onto the incomplete Buddha behind him.
Seeing the strange smile of the Buddha behind him, the evil ghost smiled with relief and fell to the ground.
And a dark force found the blood that dominated his body at that moment, that is, the blood of Kokushibo. After sensing his strong desire, this dark force followed the blood all the way to search.
Finally, at the end of the Yellow Springs, the figure with red clothes, red hair and flame-like lines on his face was found.
After seeing this ominous aura, the figure did not choose to flee, but instead climbed up to the hilt of the long sword at his waist, and as he rushed forward, a cold light flashed, and the red blade was unsheathed. In this instant, thousands of slashes fell on the dark aura!
But the aura was not affected at all. Under the calm gaze of the figure, it rushed into his mind. At this moment, countless information flooded into his mind.
Another strange world, where he saw many wonders he had never seen in his life, but at the same time... that world also had wars and a tragedy called immortality...
While wandering in this gorgeous world, he saw many people with strange coughs, and the cause of the cough was discovered through his constant searching.
He was an unknown ninja wearing a tattered orange linen robe. Different people have different names for ninja.
Wolf, the ninja of the son of God, Sekiro...
But every time he died in a battle with the enemy, as a pink light appeared, he would get up again on the spot and fearlessly fight the enemy again.
But... his resurrection was achieved by absorbing the life of others, and if too much life is absorbed, it will cause a disease called dragon cough.
People who suffer from dragon cough cough all day long, coughing up tears and blood clots until they lose their lives...
The figure looked at this scene and wanted to help, but he was powerless, and the scene... ended.
As the figure mourned for the man suffering from dragon cough, the scene reappeared, only this time, the scene he saw clearly belonged to his own world.
But in this scene, a familiar figure appeared in his eyes. The opponent's every move, every gesture, and even the tone of voice were the same as the nameless ninja he had just seen in that world.
Before he could confirm, as the other party fought with another burning figure, the surrounding area was affected by the residual power of the battle between the two, and countless coughs were heard again in the world.
The figure's eyes dulled, and then flames of anger burned in his eyes.
Just then, a familiar figure appeared in front of him, which made him slightly stunned.
Brother, Sir…
The dark aura now permeated Tian's entire body like ink, and finally informed his next user of all the information about [Opening the Door].
After receiving the information, the anger and astonishment in the figure's eyes subsided. After hesitating for a moment, he sank his heart into the underworld and accepted the darkness.
On the human world, Kokushibo was looking at the evil ghost who was lying on the ground holding [Open the Door], motionless, and he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
Damn... failed...
But at this moment, under the gaze of Kokushibo, a dark aura lingered on the wound on the opponent's neck, and an arm suddenly stretched out from it, and then gently took the [Open the Door] from the opponent's hand.
Immediately afterwards, a bright red figure crawled out completely from the wound, but there was not a trace of filth on its body, and it stood up steadily.
He looked at the other person quietly, Kokushimu silently, but when the figure raised his head to look at him, he saw that familiar face and couldn't help but be stunned, muttering something.
"It's been a long time since we last met...Yuichirō"
Yunyi first nodded respectfully, then looked directly at Kokushibo and spoke to him with murderous intent in his eyes.
"The Son of God's Ninja... Sekiro... Wolf..."
"Where are you now..."
"I want to... kill him..."
