At the Ubuyashiki Estate.
Kokushibo, who had just arrived at the site of the great battle between Doma and the Water and Sound Hashira, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart. He then discovered that his body was beginning to turn to ash, and the same was happening to Doma and the other demons.
Seeing this, Giyuu Tomioka, Tengen Uzui, and Shinobu Kocho, who had arrived at almost the same time as Kokushibo, also realized that Muzan Kibutsuji was dead.
"No! This is impossible! Lord Muzan! How could he!"
Realizing the cause of his current situation, Kokushibo's six eyes were filled with fury and disbelief.
"I won't let you die so simply."
A female voice appeared beside the ear of Doma, who was staring in shock as his body disintegrated.
Doma quickly turned his head, only to see the upside-down figure of a person.
That figure was wearing a butterfly-wing haori, and her purple pupils were looking at him with utter indifference.
'Is... is it her?'
Seeing the familiar haori, Doma remembered a Hashira he had killed. He had regretted not being able to devour her, but now...
'Has she... been resurrected?'
Before Doma could figure it out, he turned to ash and dissipated.
Seeing Doma truly dead, Shinobu's originally indifferent eyes gradually grew moist.
"Sister~, did you see that? I've avenged you!"
As she spoke, Shinobu could no longer hold it in. She covered her face, sat down on the ground with her legs tucked under her, and began to sob quietly.
Seeing Shinobu cry, the two Hashira did not disturb her, instead keeping a vigilant watch on Kokushibo.
They knew about Kanae Kocho, so they knew what Shinobu's greatest wish was. Moreover, the aura coming from Kokushibo made both of them tremble involuntarily.
If he weren't on the verge of death, the two of them would likely be no match for Kokushibo at all. They might not even last ten rounds!
However, even though the two were wary of him, Kokushibo still noticed something different about Shinobu.
Propping up his crumbling body, Kokushibo instantly teleported to the side of the kneeling Shinobu and swung the sword in his hand down.
"Thwump!"
A figure teleported directly to Shinobu's side and kicked Kokushibo's entire body to pieces.
Only then did Giyuu Tomioka and Tengen Uzui react.
"Shinobu!" the two shouted.
The two hurriedly turned, only to find that Kokushibo had already turned to ash.
Lin Tian squatted down, patted Shinobu's head, and said gently, "Alright, don't cry anymore. Who knows, maybe a mod that can resurrect people will really appear in the future?"
Hearing Lin Tian's words, Shinobu finally reacted. 'Just now, I almost... died?'
Looking at Lin Tian, who was gently patting her head, and hearing the word "resurrection," a smile appeared on Shinobu's face, and she nodded at him.
Seeing Shinobu had recovered, Lin Tian walked to a spot 30 meters to his left front.
Giyuu Tomioka and Tengen Uzui had puzzled looks on their faces. Only Shinobu knew that four people were standing in the pocket dimension there.
"The four of you, do I need to invite you out?"
Lin Tian seemed to be talking to himself, speaking to the empty air in front of him.
And in the pocket dimension before him, the four people were already drenched in sweat.
'Why? Why did he discover me? Can he see through this pocket dimension?'
The middle-aged man's face was filled with terror. This was already beyond his expectations. How could someone possibly see through his pocket dimension?
'No! Impossible! It must be for some other reason! Otherwise, why didn't he come looking for me directly from the start! He must have sought out some other method!'
It had to be said, the middle-aged man was indeed smart, but he had still underestimated Lin Tian's strength.
'Run! Run! Run!'
He had to run! Abilities could be reacquired, but if he lost his life, it was really over!
The middle-aged man immediately said in his mind, "I for..."
Before he could finish, Lin Tian shattered his space with a single punch, and the four were directly exposed to his sight.
It wasn't over. Lin Tian did not retract his fist; it shot directly towards the four.
Seeing this, the four of them froze in place.
The middle-aged man bit down hard on his tongue, using the pain to regain control of his body.
His body shook, and a bead fell out.
The next second, his body swapped places with the 17- or 18-year-old youth at the back. He then rapidly retreated as a black pentagram appeared at his feet, and a black giant appeared before him.
After shattering the three with a single punch, Lin Tian looked at the black giant.
"Still have a backup plan, huh!"
Lin Tian was a little surprised, but the motion of his hands didn't stop. He shattered the black giant with another punch and charged towards the middle-aged man.
He didn't plan on saying anything. He wouldn't be able to get any information out of him anyway. Otherwise, the middle-aged man would have surrendered long ago.
Seeing Lin Tian charge again, the middle-aged man's face was pale. He grit his teeth, took out a white stick, and thrust it towards the sky.
A flash of light passed, and a silver giant appeared on the spot.
"Oh! You really have a lot of treasures on you!" Lin Tian said in surprise, seeing the middle-aged man had turned into a silver giant.
"But, with such an evil heart, can you truly wield this character's power?"
Lin Tian was not afraid. He pushed off with his legs, jumped to the silver giant's head, and threw a punch. The silver giant immediately dissolved into specks of light.
"It seems this treasure was truly wasted on you!"
The middle-aged man fell from the sky, coughing up large amounts of blood. He had more air leaving him than entering.
Clinging to his last shred of consciousness, the middle-aged man finally mumbled, "Se-, se-, se..."
Before he could finish, Lin Tian crushed his head with his foot.
Looking at the corpse beneath his foot, Lin Tian showed no expression.
"He could still self-destruct? What is the origin of these people?"
Lin Tian was very puzzled. Based on their 'die before you talk' attitude, they were unlikely to be reincarnators or transmigrators, as those two groups didn't have any strict rules.
Lin Tian didn't think too much about it and immersed his consciousness in his mind.
[Detecting that group member "Lord of the World" has killed the outsiders. Reward distribution will now begin.]
[Lord of the World receives 8000 points.]
[Shinobu Who Loves Her Sister receives 500 points.]
[Hellish Blizzard receives 500 points.]
No one in the group had any objections to the distribution for completing the task. To be honest, Lin Tian had done almost all the work.
[Hellish Blizzard: Getting points for a free trip, nice!]
[Silly Girl: I'm so jealous!]
[Emperor Through the Ages: The Lord of the World's strength is truly immense!]
[Sister Looking for Her Brother: So jealous!]
....
Lin Tian exited the chat group and looked at Giyuu Tomioka and Tengen Uzui, who were shocked beyond words.
"What's wrong? Are you shocked?" Lin Tian said with a smile.
The two nodded involuntarily. The battle they had just witnessed had completely overturned their worldview.
"Let's go back to the house first. We'll talk about the rest after everyone has arrived."
As he spoke, Lin Tian teleported directly back to his marker.
Seeing Lin Tian disappear, the remaining three also ran towards the Ubuyashiki estate.
The other scattered Hashira also ran towards the center.
And Tanjiro and Nezuko were still on their way.
