Now they had to find a way to force those evil spirits to show up. In this battle, we can say that if we fail, we will die. They must win no matter what the cost, and they cannot even let Muzan Kibutsuji escape, because they will not have a second chance. "I can't sit still anymore! I'm almost drunk and dreaming--!" Shuten-doji held the wine jug, drank the liquor in big gulps, his face was flushed, and he appeared beside Muzan Kibutsuji with unsteady steps. She naturally had no idea that Emiya Shirou could swallow up the entire low base in one go, nor did she know what method Minamoto no Raikou would choose to force them to show up. But she was very clear about one thing: if the situation dragged on like this, the only ones who would benefit would be them, and the other party would definitely force them out at all costs while they still had the strength to fight back. Although Shuten-douji never thought of ruling the demon group, it can even be said that Ibaraki-douji was the "disaster demon" who built a majestic city on Mount Oe, commanded a group of demons that were as powerful as a thousand men, wreaked havoc in Heian-kyo, and plunged humans into fear. But it is undeniable that Shuten-doji does have the power and talent to bear the title of "Ghost King". But if he didn't love pleasure so much, he might really become a huge headache for Abe Seimei and Minamoto no Raikou.

However, even though she was so overly indulged in pleasure, it still gave them a lot of headaches. "So, there is no solution? At his speed, he will be here in no time!" Muzan Kibutsuji was extremely angry. The black mud was simply another nightmare for him. If at that time one of his fragments had not flown fast enough and left the range of the black mud, I was afraid that I would have been completely swallowed up by the black mud. If they infiltrated in that way, there would be no way for them to hide underground. "Why worry about it? Let's talk about it when we get there first. Let's drink first!!!" In the face of Muzan Kibutsuji's angry words, Shuten-doji just smiled slightly and didn't care at all. After all, whether it is Shuten Douji, Ibaraki Douji or the demon king Tsugikoku Yoriichi, none of them are afraid of the sun. The only one who is afraid of the sun is Muzan Kibutsuji. "you!!!!!!!!!!" After hearing Shuten Douji's words, Muzan Kibutsuji became even more angry, and even countless long black whips began to emerge from his body. He was immediately enveloped by a strong murderous intent and bloody intent. "I won't let you disturb Shuten!" Before Muzan Kibutsuji could take any further steps forward, red flames suddenly enveloped the area in front of him, and a sword like a giant axe was placed in front of him. Muzan Kibutsuji understood that as long as he dared to take a step forward, these flames would devour him mercilessly. It's not like he had once hidden away from Tsugakuin Yoriichi, he would hide there until they died and then come out. However, on the one hand, the other party is also an immortal being like himself, and it may not be possible for him to outlast them like he outlasted Tsugaru Yoshiichi. On the other hand, as the Demon King, Yoriichi Tsugumi is somehow able to accurately determine his own position. No matter where I hide, he will find me. There is no point in running away. "Wait! Wait for your opponent's final dance!"

"Wait! Wait for the moment when the wine is finally drunk!" As he spoke, Shuten-doji raised the wine glass in his hand, his face full of enjoyment. Even just in terms of momentum, Shuten Douji, the [Ghost King] who is a hands-off boss, even completely suppressed Muzan Kibutsuji, who has lived for nearly a thousand years. Chapter 872 The Coming Decisive Battle As time passed, an atmosphere of silence began to spread through the town. All residents living on the streets have also been evacuated to shelters. It is entirely predictable that this city will once again become a battlefield. Since we are already at a disadvantage, we naturally have to do our best to put the existing forces into the battle. This town surrounded by a sea of ​​wisteria trees will inevitably become the site of the final battle. As crows flew in from the sky one after another, groups of people left the town, and batches of refugees were brought into the city. The soft light shone down from the west, emitting a golden glow and lighting up the entire forest. Everyone's mood became heavier as the golden light kept moving. "This is the 42nd location, and Muzan's whereabouts are still difficult to determine—!" Inside the castle, in the hall, Shinobu Kocho listened to the information conveyed by Crow and reported to everyone the situation on Shirou Emiya's side. "Oh, it's almost dark—" Tanjiro Kamado looked at the slowly setting sun outside, and couldn't help but feel a little lost in his words. Even though such an outcome had already been anticipated, who wouldn't want to defeat the other party at the lowest cost? Enough people have died. "Just as cowardly as ever—" A beautiful woman with her hair parted in the middle and tied into a large, low bun secured with a floral barrette made a disdainful sound. Her eyes were extremely gentle, like a lavender mist, and her rosy lips formed a sharp contrast with her pale face. She wore a dark purple kimono decorated with wavy lavender branches and red flowers, and a wide beige obi tied around her waist. She is one of the only two demons living in the town - Tamayo, and she is also the doctor who worked with Shinobu Kocho to research drugs to deal with evil spirits during this period. One can clearly hear her disdain and hatred towards Muzan from her words. The current situation is the same as what Tamayo encountered before. Tsugakuni Yoriichi has been chasing Muzan Kibutsuji, while Muzan Kibutsuji has been hiding. Even until the moment when Yoshiichi Tsugumi died of old age, Muzan Kibutsuji did not dare to appear before it. "If his ability to split could be restricted, perhaps Emiya-senpai could kill Muzan now." In this regard, Tanjiro Kamado could only sigh. It was not that Shirou Emiya did not find any trace of Muzan Kibutsuji, but simply because he could not kill him.

Before Shirou Erimiya arrived, Muzan Kibutsuji split himself into several pieces and let the evil spirits that could move in the soil carry his body parts around. "Hey! Didn't Emiya-senpai get rid of Muzan? Then wouldn't we be——!" Zenitsu Agatsuma's shoulders were trembling slightly. He had already anticipated how fierce the battle tonight would be. "Have everyone ready to turn the bucket. The search and rescue team should stop going out. Those who have already gone out should be recalled now." "Next, it will be the real decisive battle——!" Minamoto no Raikou came to Agatsuma Zenitsu's side and patted his shoulder gently. No one blamed Agatsuma Zenitsu for his extremely cowardly attitude. After all, no matter how scared he was, he would protect the residents behind him and would not retreat even a single step. "Emiya Shirou and Uzui Tengen are gradually clearing out the evil spirits hiding underground from the town, so it will probably take some time before the evil spirits actually launch an attack." Minamoto no Raikou said to everyone: "In other words, this is the last time left for us!" Needless to say, after fighting against the evil spirits for so long, they have already put their lives at risk, and they will not retreat even if there are more evil spirits. "This is really troublesome." Miyamoto Musashi stood up, opened his big, bright eyes, and said, "It will probably take quite a while for Grandpa to get here." If they want to capture this place, they will have no way around one person - Shirou Emiya. At this time, Shirou Emiya and Tengen Uzui were twenty or thirty kilometers away from them, and it was not realistic to rush back in a short time, not to mention that the other party would not let him return to the town so easily. However, this is actually an important condition for bringing out Muzan Kibutsuji. As long as Shirou Emiya remains in the town, Muzan Kibutsuji will not be able to launch an attack. Therefore, if you want to lure the snake out of its hole, Shirou Emiya's departure is essential. He can protect the town for a while, but he cannot protect the city forever. The only option is to burn your boats. "In short, we must annihilate all those evil spirits!" Two hot breaths came out of Inosuke's pig head mask. Wasn't all this long period of hard training just for this moment? Night finally fell again. I don’t know if it’s because of the silent atmosphere, but this night, although there is not a single dark cloud, there is not a single starlight. Even the scarlet moon that often hangs in the sky disappeared without a trace, leaving the surroundings shrouded in deep darkness. And in this world shrouded in darkness, in a certain forest, a cold wind suddenly whistled past, and a figure stepped on the ground and rushed at an extremely fast speed. "Well--!" A somewhat distressed sound came out of Shuten-doji's mouth. "Pa-ta-!" A large amount of blood seeped out from his body, dripping down, gradually forming a small pool of blood. A closer look revealed that Shuten-doji's entire body was covered with knife wounds.

Such injuries would almost result in death in a normal person, which is really horrific. "It's really embarrassing. For a human to reach such a height, it can be said that it is not an exaggeration for any living hero—!" I saw Shuten-doji, covered in dust and dirt, leaning against a huge tree, breathing heavily, and looking behind him from time to time, as if there was a ferocious beast chasing him from behind. "If I wasn't an Assassin with a C-rank aura to hide my identity, I might not have been able to escape from him." In fact, we should also take into account her A+ level combat continuation, C level divinity, and the fact that she never thought about direct confrontation from beginning to end and only wanted to escape. Only then could Shuten Douji survive the bombardment of Shirou Emiya's sword rain with difficulty. If it weren't for this, if I had faced such an attack head-on, I would have turned into part of the ashes floating in the sky. Using herself as bait to lure away the most powerful Shirou Emiya could be said to be the most dangerous decision she had ever made. Chapter 873 The Sixty-Third Pillar [Antos] "When did you have the illusion that you could escape--!" At the moment he finished speaking, Shuten-doji raised his head and looked forward. There, a dark shadow appeared silently on the trees in front, holding a red spear and pointing it at her. It seemed that as long as she made any movement, the scarlet spear would be able to pierce her heart. "Is he really being caught up?" Shuten-doji spoke in a self-deprecating tone and put his hand into his sleeve. But what she took out was not the long sword with the handle of her wine jug, but just a jug of fine wine. Even though she knew she was going to die, she still wanted to enjoy the sweetness of wine in her last moments. "I don't plan to resist anymore. My role is just to hold you back--!" “Gulp! Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!” After he finished speaking, Shuten-doji seemed to have really given up resisting. He dragged his already seriously injured body, sat down on the spot, and drank sip after sip of the wine, with an expression of enjoyment on his face. "You should know that even if there are more evil spirits here, they can't hold me back--!" Shirou Emiya's expression turned cold, black mud was surging on the ground. The moment he came here, he knew that there was an ambush here, an ambush of a large number of evil spirits. But you have to know that when one's strength reaches his level, the number of people is no longer meaningful, just like Minamoto no Raikou can also kill tens of thousands of evil spirits. What's more, tens of thousands of evil spirits were something that Shirou Emiya could deal with in a moment and could not serve as any obstacle at all. "Don't get me wrong, their role here is just to supply magic power--" Listening to Emiya Shirou's words, Shuten-doji couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. It was already known information that Emiya Shirou could destroy tens of thousands of evil spirits in an instant. Shuten-doji naturally would not bring those evil spirits here to die meaninglessly. "The essence of magic power is life force. If there is a certain technique, life force can be naturally converted into magic power here—" At this point, Shirou Emiya's expression suddenly paused. In this land, there are quite a few evil spirits. A rough estimate is that the number is much more than the number that attacked the town before.

Such a huge amount of magic power appeared here. What exactly did she want to do? A bad premonition suddenly came to his mind. The spear in Shirou Emiya's hand shook violently, and was covered with thick layers of crimson magic energy, which caused gusts of wind to blow. "It's a pity. Even if you kill me now, the spell here will still be activated. After all, it's not me who actually activated this spell, but the one who brought the Holy Grail to this world————" "Gáe Bolg!!!" As the roar fell, Emiya Shirou suddenly raised the spear in his hand high above his head, and stabbed the sharp spear in his hand hard in the front.
