Chapter 18 Li Ke: I am the World-Destroying Ghost King? How come I didn't know that!
As for what Li Ke did?
Feeling his body unable to move again, and the excruciating pain in his forehead, Kaigaku was filled with fear and anxiety.
Suddenly, Kaigaku saw a tentacle-like scarlet tube protruding from his forehead.
Those were the tentacle-shaped scarlet tubes he often saw when he devoured the essence of evil spirits' blood.
However, this time the tentacle-shaped scarlet tubes were not connected to the evil spirit, but rather to Rick's fingers.
Immediately, Kaigaku felt his body rapidly becoming empty, as if he had fallen seriously ill.
At the same time, the tentacle-shaped scarlet tube was also stretched out.
Something seemed to be flowing into Rick's body through this scarlet tube.
This behavior is described slowly, but in reality it is very fast.
In just a few seconds, all the demon blood essence that Kaigaku had painstakingly obtained by killing demons over the past two and a half months was taken away by Li Ke.
Realizing what was happening, Kaiyue cursed Li Ke in his heart, feeling extremely angry and dissatisfied, but he dared not make any disrespectful move.
"As punishment for your attack on your comrades, I have reclaimed the demon blood essence you obtained during this time."
After a pause, Li Ke continued:
"In light of your previous actions against your comrades, effective today, you are officially withdrawing from the mission of training demon hunters and building the demon hunter organization."
His sole duties are hunting demons and investigating the whereabouts of Lower Moon One, Enmu.
At this point, Li Ke looked at the two brothers, Ichiro and Muichiro.
"From today onwards, Ichiro, you will be specifically responsible for training demon hunters and building the demon hunter organization."
As for Muichiro…
Upon hearing Li Ke call his name, Muichiro immediately became nervous, wondering what task Li Ke would assign him.
"Muichiro, your mission is to infiltrate the Demon Slayer Corps and learn the four basic breathing techniques besides Thunder Breathing."
If we want to hunt down evil spirits, we must strengthen our demon hunters; we cannot let them lose their lives in vain.
"yes!"
Muichiro agreed, and immediately felt an immense pressure.
He didn't know what the Demon Slayer Corps was, but judging from the name, it must be an organization that hunts demons.
Infiltrating another organization that hunts evil spirits and stealing someone else's breathing technique—this mission sounds incredibly difficult.
"Lord Li Ke, please entrust this task to me. Given Muichiro's personality, I'm afraid he will find it difficult to complete this task."
Ichiro couldn't help but offer his suggestion.
Compared to him, Muichiro was gentle and kind, and less adept at expressing his emotions.
The mission to have Muichiro infiltrate another demon-hunting organization and steal their breathing techniques is obviously extremely difficult for him.
Even he felt immense pressure, and the chances of success were slim. If Muichiro wanted to complete this mission, the chances of success were probably infinitely close to zero.
Moreover, their actions are essentially equivalent to one kendo dojo sending its disciple to another kendo dojo to steal the other's sword techniques.
If someone finds out and beats you to death or maims you, you can't blame them.
Not wanting his younger brother to be in danger, Ichiro immediately spoke up, wanting to take on the task.
However, at this moment, Muichiro firmly stated:
"I can do it! I will complete this task!"
Although Muichiro is gentle and kind, he is also resilient and brave, and never holds anyone back when it matters.
After his parents died, he took on the household chores and then immediately asked to join the "Samurai Training Program" upon hearing about it, seizing the opportunity to change the fate of the Tokito family.
These actions reveal that although Muichiro is gentle and kind, he is also resolute and brave, and is not afraid of difficulties and challenges.
Turning to look at Ichiro, whose eyes showed worry, Li Ke's mind stirred, and through the parasitic flesh buds controlling Ichiro's body, he said:
"Don't worry, Muichiro. I have some understanding of the Demon Slayer Corps, and I will help Muichiro."
Looking at his younger brother Muichiro, he saw that the voice of Lord Li Ke could be heard coming from his mouth.
Ichiro finally understood what Li Ke meant by "Life and death are in my own hands".
It turns out that Li Ke can take over their bodies at any time if he wants, which is a terrifying ability.
This made Ichiro feel a little uneasy, but thinking of Li Ke's character, he forcibly suppressed this feeling of unease.
"In that case, I have no objections."
Seeing this, Li Ke nodded slightly and said:
"Then let's go back. You two brothers should have a good time together before you split up to carry out your missions."
Upon hearing this, the brothers Ichiro and Muichiro agreed and got up to walk towards the mansion deep in the mountains.
Kaigaku, who was also following behind and heard everything, was filled with gloom.
Muichiro is going to the Demon Slayer Corps to steal the four basic breathing techniques, excluding the Thunder Breathing Technique.
With Muichiro's talent, if the Demon Slayer Corps were truly willing to teach him the four basic breathing techniques, Muichiro would definitely be able to learn the five basic breathing techniques.
Having gathered the five basic breathing techniques, plus the enhanced physique and internal strength brought by the parasitic granulation tissue.
It's unimaginable just how strong Muichiro will be six months from now.
He imagined that six months from now, Muichiro would be furiously gripping his Nichirin Blade and tearing him to pieces.
Kaigaku felt a chill run down his spine, sensing a terrifying life-or-death crisis.
will die!
If he loses the duel six months later, he will die!
Faced with this deadly crisis and a strong will to survive, Kaigaku has decided to hunt down demons relentlessly and seize their demon blood essence to enhance his strength.
Otherwise, if he loses the duel in six months, the brothers Ichiro and Muichiro will definitely not show any mercy, and his death on the spot will be his inevitable fate!
Sensing Kaigaku's strong will to survive and his determination, Li Ke revealed a faint smile.
With the life-or-death crisis of the duel six months from now, Kaigaku will definitely do everything in his power to hunt down demons and seize more demon blood essence in order to survive.
Six months later, if Kaigaku loses the duel, he will be killed by the brothers Ichiro and Muichiro.
During the past six months, Kaigaku has been frantically hunting down evil spirits, and the essence of the evil blood he has obtained will become Li Ke's property.
Conversely, if Kaiyue were still alive, Li Ke wouldn't have lost out either; it would simply be a matter of reaping the rewards sooner or later.
Moreover, as the leader of the Ghost Hunter organization, and the only one capable of creating parasitic flesh buds.
He did so in the name of creating more flesh-bud parasites to hunt down demons, defeat Muzan, and finally end the demon calamity.
It's reasonable to have your subordinates contribute the essence of the demon blood they hunt and obtain on time and in proportion, right?
As for your refusal to contribute the essence of ghost blood on time and in proportion, then you must have ulterior motives and are definitely a traitor to humanity!
……
Time passed slowly, and a month went by in the blink of an eye.
After hunting demons in the Tokyo area for a month and demonstrating his formidable strength, Muichiro finally attracted the attention of the Demon Slayer Corps.
He successfully received an invitation from the Demon Slayer Corps, officially joined the Demon Slayer Corps, and was even honored to be invited to meet the Demon Slayer Corps Master.
When Li Ke learned of this news, he immediately became extremely interested.
So, after obtaining Muichiro's consent, they took over Muichiro's body and began a "pilgrimage" to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.
"Mr. Tokito, where did you learn your Mist Breathing Technique? Why have I never heard of it before?"
The Insect Hashira, Shinobu Kocho, who led Muichiro to meet the Demon Slayer Corps leader, asked with a smile.
In response, Li Ke, who was controlling Muichiro's body, casually replied:
"I created it myself."
"To be able to create your own breathing technique, that's really impressive."
Touching her chin, Butterfly suppressed a laugh and said:
"With a genius like you joining us, we are even more confident in defeating the World-Destroying Demon King, Li Ke."
"?!"
Upon hearing Shinobu's words, Rick immediately looked bewildered.
Am I the Demon King of Annihilation?
How come I didn't know?!
P.S.: Today is Tuesday, a crucial day for deciding whether to test the waters with a post. Please stay tuned, thank you everyone!
