Chapter 21
Confrontation with Muzan, Dawn's First Light!

Bai Chuan's attitude.

Made Muzan's last sliver of hope disappear.

After realizing that Bai Chuan would not let him go.

Muzan also became valiant.

He was afraid of death, that's true.

But the prerequisite for fear of death was having a chance to live.

When he knew that he would not be able to escape, no matter what.

The fear in Muzan's heart instantly vanished.

He clearly understood one thing.

If he wanted to continue living, he had to kill Bai Chuan.

Therefore.

The more afraid he was of death, the more valiant he became.

"Then let me see, what kind of confidence do you have in wanting to kill me!"

Muzan said with a cold face.

Then, with a wave of his hand.

The surrounding space instantly transformed.

From the original courtyard.

It instantly became countless rotating compartments.

Infinity Castle!

This was the final battleground Muzan had chosen for himself.

In a way, this was also the grave he had chosen for himself.

Inside the Infinity Castle.

Muzan stood high above, overlooking Bai Chuan.

His voice was cold as he said: "I used to be terrified of that man."

"This fear, I haven't cured it for hundreds of years."

"But at this moment, I realize that compared to that guy, I am the predator!"

"Bai Chuan, let you see the magnitude of this Demon King!"

Was Muzan strong?

Undeniably, very strong!

He was the first demon.

He was also the most powerful Demon King.

The Twelve Kizuki, in front of Muzan.

Were almost like ants.

Except for one, Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

Muzan had never been defeated.

There wasn't even anyone who could slightly challenge him.

It can be said that the power of the Demon Slayer world.

Is divided into three tiers.

Yoriichi Tsugikuni is one tier.

Muzan is one tier.

Everyone else is in another tier.

Muzan, has a power level that far exceeds all other existences, a complete gap.

But unfortunately, Muzan now encountered Bai Chuan.

If Yoriichi Tsugikuni was the peak of the Demon Slayer world, in the past.

Then at this moment.

Bai Chuan was already the peak of the Demon Slayer world, now.

His current strength, even surpassed Yoriichi Tsugikuni in the past.

He had walked the path of Breathing Techniques to a height that even Yoriichi Tsugikuni had not reached.

And this was only part of Bai Chuan's strength.

Besides being a master of Breathing Techniques.

He was also a powerful demon.

He also possessed a physique that humans could never have.

The combination of the three, made Bai Chuan's strength.

Directly reach the theoretical ceiling of power in the Demon Slayer world.

That is, combining Yoriichi Tsugikuni's talent with Demon King Muzan's physique.

The combination of the two.

Then elevate them both to a higher level.

That's roughly Bai Chuan's current level.

Under these circumstances.

How could Muzan possibly win?

..

Facing Muzan's Infinity Castle.

Looking at the walls around the Infinity Castle, which looked like flesh and were constantly writhing.

Bai Chuan let out a disdainful laugh.

"Fancy stuff."

Demon King Muzan, upon hearing this, became even more angry.

Alright, alright, you look down on me, do you?

Then come on!

The angered Muzan, at this moment, didn't care about his dignity.

He directly revealed his true form in front of Bai Chuan.

Muzan's entire body twitched.

His skin was torn, and flesh began to grow continuously.

In the end, what appeared before Bai Chuan was.

A meatball with dozens of tentacles, five heads, and countless eyeballs.

Seeing Muzan like this, Bai Chuan commented: "You're so ugly, Muzan!"

"Your current appearance, is there even a hint of elegance left?"

"Stop talking nonsense, come and fight with all your might!"

Muzan's voice came from this strange meatball.

At the same time, the dozens of tentacles surged like snakes.

Opening the sharp teeth at the ends.

They bit towards Bai Chuan.

The speed was so fast that even bullets couldn't compare.

But in Bai Chuan's eyes.

This was still slow motion.

"Such a stupid attack method, Muzan."

"You haven't even thought about how to fight in these years."

"You, have you been living in vain all these years?"

Bai Chuan didn't even draw his sword.

He just stomped a few times.

He easily dodged Muzan's attack.

At the same time, he had the leisure to comment on Muzan's combat skills.

Muzan was so angry that he almost transformed again.

Lies won't hurt, but truth is a fast blade.

And what Bai Chuan said was the truth.

For hundreds of years, Muzan hadn't learned how to fight properly at all.

He even rarely made a move.

In the end.

After Yoriichi Tsugikuni died.

No one had been able to make Muzan feel threatened.

His few times of making a move.

Were also achieved by absolute numerical suppression.

Under these circumstances, it would be a strange thing if Muzan's combat skills could improve.

This can actually be seen from the original work.

If Muzan hadn't been so weak in the original work.

How could he have been tricked by the Demon Slayer Corps' leader?

He was even almost blown to death.

Anyone with a bit of martial arts experience wouldn't have been so weak.

It can only be said that in terms of combat.

Muzan has a kind of untainted beauty.

And fighting such an opponent.

For Bai Chuan, there was no fun at all.

When he fought against Kokushibo before.

He could at least see something from Kokushibo's swordsmanship.

Some nutrients that could be absorbed.

But Muzan here, was only stupid.

Bai Chuan didn't dare to look at him for long.

He was afraid that if he looked at him for too long.

His information database would be polluted by these rubbish combat skills.

.....

"Forget it, let's end it soon."

"I'm already eager to start evolving!"

Muzan's weakness made Bai Chuan lose interest in fighting.

He didn't plan on fooling around with Muzan anymore.

He directly placed his hand on the katana at his waist.

Then, Bai Chuan looked at Muzan and slowly said: "Muzan, look closely."

"This is a technique that even Yoriichi Tsugikuni didn't realize."

"Sun Breathing·Ultimate Technique·Sunrise!"

The moment he finished speaking, Bai Chuan drew his sword.

The blade was as bright as morning light.

Breaking through the darkness, turning into dawn.

In front of this one strike.

Muzan seemed to see the rising sun of morning.

So hot, so dazzling.

So unstoppable!
