Chapter 77 The Most Powerful Pillar of the Future
......
"Fire serpents clear the way!"
With a wave of his hand, Little Wukong shot out another fire snake, intending to burn through the spider silk controlling the puppet.
However, this time it did not succeed, because the puppets easily dodged the fire serpent.
After all, he was a Geng-rank member, and his physique was much stronger than that of the previous Demon Slayer Corps members.
In addition, the fire serpent was not fast to begin with, and the female ghost who controlled the puppet was prepared in advance.
"Go help!"
When Mita saw that the fire snake had no effect, he called on the remaining team members who could still move to help Goku fight together.
But when he lifted his foot, he found that Little Wukong was gone.
Immediately afterwards, all of the dozen or so Demon Slayer Corps members who had been controlled collapsed to the ground.
"Uncle Mita, take them to the side to rest first. I'll treat them after I've dealt with this guy."
Little Wukong threw away the spider silk in his hand and came to the opposite side of the last puppet.
Since the fire serpent had been dodged, he used a simpler and more brutal method: he went over and forcibly severed all the spider silk connecting the puppet with his bare hands.
As for the headless demon puppet, he felt it must have some strength and wanted to spar with it.
"brush!"
The headless demon, now wielding two swords, swiftly slashed at Little Wukong's neck while he was speaking.
Little Wukong ducked to dodge the twin swords, stepped forward, grabbed the headless demon's arm, and kicked it hard in the stomach.
A powerful explosion rang out.
The headless demon's two arms were instantly torn off, and its entire upper body was kicked to pieces.
Then, he just collapsed.
"..."
Little Wukong tilted his head, a hint of disappointment on his face.
He thought the headless demon was quite strong, but he was surprised to find it so weak that it was easily destroyed.
"So strong!"
The remaining Demon Slayer Corps members who were still conscious couldn't help but widen their eyes in disbelief.
The sight of tearing apart a headless demon with bare hands clearly shocked them.
"Then let me see where your true form is?"
Upon discovering that the headless demon was all show and no substance, Little Goku closed his eyes and began to use his ki to search for the real demon behind it.
"Found it!"
With his eyes open, Little Goku gave Mita a brief instruction and then vanished from the spot in a flash.
"Mita-senpai, who is he?"
Seeing Goku disappear into thin air, the Demon Slayer Corps members were stunned again. After a while, Murata, who was closest to Mita, asked curiously.
Mita, with his hands behind his back, puffed out his chest:
"He might become the strongest Pillar in our Demon Slayer Corps in the future!"
On a nearby boulder, seeing all her puppets annihilated, even her strongest puppet easily defeated, the female ghost's face showed despair.
"It's all because I'm tired. It's all because he scared me that I'm in such a hurry."
Lei failed the task assigned to her, and she could imagine what kind of punishment she would receive in the end—she would definitely be hung on the wall and left to dry in the sun.
"Hey, ma'am, you're the ghost who was controlling the puppet just now, right?"
Little Wukong's voice suddenly rang out behind the female ghost, causing her to tremble and turn around immediately.
"I'm doomed, I'm going to die."
When the little Wukong found her, the female ghost knew she was doomed.
Because his physical combat ability is not strong, his strength relies entirely on the Blood Demon Art that allows him to control puppets.
If this boy could kill her most powerful puppet with a single blow, then he could easily kill her as well.
"Looks like it's you. I'd like to have a match with you."
Little Goku assumed a fighting stance.
The female ghost, now devoid of any will to fight, lowered her hands and murmured:
"Kill me. It's better to die. Death will bring relief and make things easier."
Seeing the female ghost looking like she was waiting to die, Little Wukong didn't know what to do for a moment.
If the female ghost resists, he will kill her without hesitation.
Just now, quite a few members of the Demon Slayer Corps died at the hands of this female demon.
But if the female ghost doesn't resist, things get complicated. He can't very well kill someone who has already surrendered.
Martial artists should not do this.
He flashed in front of the female ghost, placed his hand on her head, stared into her eyes, and began to cast the Soul-Seizing Technique.
He wanted to see the female ghost's memories.
With his level of mind-controlling technique, he shouldn't be able to read the memories deep in a person's brain.
But if the person doesn't resist at all, that's another story.
"That's outrageous!"
A moment later, Little Wukong withdrew his hand, looking angry.
The female ghost was originally a girl from an ordinary family, but later married a husband who loved her very much.
She could have given birth to a child and lived a happy and fulfilling life, but unfortunately, she encountered Muzan Kibutsuji.
Muzan Kibutsuji turned the female demon into a demon.
The female ghost, now a demon, lost most of her memories as a human and, out of instinct, killed and ate her beloved husband and the entire village.
Later, she was discovered and hunted by the Demon Slayer Corps, and fled to Mount Natagumo, where she became Rui's mother and began a miserable life dominated by Rui.
"Let's hand you over to the Demon Slayer Corps."
Little Wukong looked at the female ghost, reached out and threw a stun spell at her, causing her to fall unconscious to the ground.
The female ghost was pitiful, but after becoming a demon, her personality became twisted and perverse, and she did kill and eat many innocent people, especially many members of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Therefore, he felt it was more appropriate to hand the female ghost over to the Demon Slayer Corps.
"Let me see what kind of strength Lower Moon Five has."
Teleporting back to Mita's side, Little Goku handed the female ghost over to Mita.
"This is the demon that was controlling things from behind. You can deal with it. I'm going to the mountaintop; there's a Lower Moon Five demon there."
"Last string five!!!"
Upon hearing Little Goku's words, Mita and the others immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Although they had suspected it before, they never expected that there would actually be a demon from the Twelve Demon Months on this mountain.
"Goku, don't be impulsive. The demons of the Twelve Demon Moons are beyond our capabilities. Let's wait here; the Pillars should arrive to provide support soon."
Seeing that Goku was about to go up and fight the Lower Rank Five demon, Mita immediately stepped forward to dissuade him.
Young Goku is indeed very strong and has many strange abilities, but he feels that he is still far inferior to the real Pillars.
Naturally, they could not possibly be a match for the Twelve Demon Moons.
Given the magnitude of the incident at Spider Mountain that day, he believed that headquarters would definitely send Zhu to provide support.
Therefore, waiting for support here is the best option at present.
"You all rest well here, I'll be back soon."
Little Wukong waved his hand, and in a flash, he rushed towards the mountaintop.
Seeing this, Mita gritted his teeth and addressed all the remaining team members who were still able to fight:
"Those of rank Gui, stay and take care of the wounded. The rest of you, come with me to the mountaintop to provide support."
He put down the unconscious female ghost, enhanced his strength with breathing techniques, and without hesitation, chopped off the female ghost's head with a single stroke.
Meanwhile, with Little Wukong running at full speed, he quickly covered a distance of twenty kilometers and arrived at a house on the mountaintop.
Here, a fierce battle is taking place.
Three boys and a girl are fighting two ghosts, one tall and one short, while another ghost stands leisurely watching the battle.
Through the memories of the female ghost, Little Goku learned that the ghost standing leisurely was none other than Lower Moon Five, Rui.
The two ghosts, one tall and one short, are the father and sister from the playhouse.
