After absorbing a large amount of Oni King blood.
The gestation of the Blood Demon Art was only one aspect.
Besides that, Shirakawa gained a new ability.
That is, he can now connect with Muzan's consciousness.
And through this connection, he could locate Muzan's position.
With such a good ability, Shirakawa would play with it no matter what.
Thinking about this, Shirakawa actively used his consciousness.
To greet Muzan: "Muzan, good evening."
Muzan, who was far away in Kyoto.
After hearing this sudden voice appearing in his ear.
He was startled.
Then, he instinctively looked around.
For fear that Shirakawa would come from somewhere.
And then kill him with a single strike.
After confirming that Shirakawa was simply communicating with him through his consciousness.
And didn't actually come over.
Muzan breathed a sigh of relief.
Then gritted his teeth: "Shirakawa, what exactly do you want to do!"
"I have no grievances with you, why would you fight against me?"
Muzan's tone seemed fierce.
In reality, he was already conceding defeat.
If he was truly not afraid of Shirakawa.
There was no need to explain the fact that they had no grievances.
Shirakawa also sensed Muzan's outward strength and inner weakness.
So he smiled and said: "You misunderstood, I have no malice towards you."
"I just want to make an appointment with you, so that we can all go out and sunbathe together."
Muzan was so angry upon hearing this.
He trembled.
Are you speaking human language?
Sunbathing.
Could he even survive the sun?
"Shirakawa, don't push your luck, if you push me too hard, I won't necessarily lose to you!"
"Besides, I'll just leave Japan from now on, and never appear before you again."
In fact, Muzan did have this thought.
Shirakawa's combat strength was too frightening.
It reminded Muzan of a certain opponent he didn't dare to recall.
And such an opponent.
Even if Muzan got his courage back.
He wouldn't dare to provoke him head-on.
He only wanted to hide and survive.
After all, Muzan is a demon.
He has no other advantages, only a long lifespan.
In this situation, Muzan could completely outlast his opponent.
After the opponent dies, he can resurface.
But, Shirakawa is not Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
This trick worked against Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
But it is completely impossible against Shirakawa.
"Muzan, what are you talking about?"
"Why do you think I can connect with your consciousness?"
"I have already become a demon."
"Since I can connect with your consciousness, I can also use consciousness to find you."
"Let me feel it, oh, you are in Kyoto? That's indeed a good place, I will come to see you soon."
Hearing this, Muzan was completely dumbfounded.
He even wanted to use his Oni King curse.
To kill Shirakawa.
Shirakawa drank his blood.
Normally.
As long as one consumes Oni King Muzan's blood.
Then, life and death will be completely controlled by Oni King Muzan.
In this situation, Oni King Muzan has absolute control.
But this Oni King curse.
It completely failed against Shirakawa.
Muzan couldn't locate Shirakawa's position by relying on the Oni King blood.
Not to mention killing Shirakawa.
On the contrary, Shirakawa could locate him.
What does this mean?
This means that no matter how Muzan escapes or hides.
Shirakawa can always find him.
Then, what awaits Muzan is the tragic end of sunbathing.
It can be said that Shirakawa at this time is a complete natural counter to Muzan.
In terms of surviving?
Shirakawa is a demon, he will never face the risk of dying of old age.
In terms of hiding?
Shirakawa can directly locate Muzan's location.
It doesn't matter if Muzan hides in the depths of the earth.
Shirakawa can always find him.
In terms of combat strength?
Whether Yoriichi Tsugikuni, resurrected, can withstand Shirakawa's strike.
Is a question.
Not to mention Muzan.
It can be said that Muzan at this time was truly somewhat desperate.
Who would have thought that such a natural enemy like Shirakawa would suddenly appear?
..
After scaring Muzan for a while.
Shirakawa broke the consciousness connection.
Then, Shirakawa laughed.
"I believe this should scare Muzan so much that he can't sleep."
The reason Shirakawa threatened Muzan.
It's not entirely because of his mischievousness.
More importantly, he wants to make Muzan completely determined.
Only when Muzan realizes that there is nowhere to hide, nowhere to escape, and he can only fight to the death.
Then, Muzan will actively reclaim the blood he had given away over the past hundreds of years in order to fight desperately.
Isn't this much faster than Shirakawa going around killing them one by one?
To put it bluntly.
Shirakawa is tricking Muzan, wanting to turn Muzan into his tool.
And Muzan?
He did fall for it.
After Shirakawa broke the consciousness connection.
Muzan realized.
Apart from fighting Shirakawa head-on.
He had no other choice.
And since he has to fight Shirakawa desperately, he must be in his strongest state.
In other words.
He needs to reclaim the Oni King blood he has given away in the past.
Only in this way can he absorb the Oni King blood he has accumulated over the years.
Restore his peak fighting strength.
Then, fight Shirakawa to the death!
After making up his mind.
Oni King Muzan sent a message to the demons scattered across all of Japan.
Demanding that all demons immediately gather in Kyoto.
Those who haven't arrived in Kyoto within three days.
Then they shouldn't live anymore.
After these demons received Muzan's message.
They thought that Muzan was going to give out Oni blood again.
Little did they know.
This time, Muzan will turn into a vampire.
He will absorb everyone's blood.
......
As Oni King Muzan prepared to welcome Shirakawa's arrival.
And have a great battle.
On the other side.
Shirakawa also took Shidou Akiha on the road to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.
This time, Shirakawa was going for the Breathing Techniques.
After thoroughly researching the power of the Breathing Techniques.
And incorporating the advantages of various Breathing Techniques into the Sun Breathing.
Shirakawa will then go to find Muzan.
Completely completing the transformation from human to demon.
