RNP Chapter 20 "Sorry, this place is full."
Chapter 20 "Sorry, this place is full."
The third second.
Time seemed to stretch out infinitely long because of this sudden change.
Muzan's body, which had been split and forcibly reassembled, trembled wildly in mid-air. The annihilation brought about by the decay effect made him feel pain that went almost to his bone marrow.
The fear that Muzan felt due to Yoriichi Tsugikuni's death shattered the Demon King's arrogance once again.
"Nakome—!!!"
Almost at the same instant, the familiar sound of the pipa, carrying a strange rhythm, rang out with a "zheng".
In the void directly below Muzan, a Japanese paper door with a blood-red eye pattern opened out of thin air; it was the entrance to the Infinity Castle.
Once he falls in... in just half a second, he can completely escape this nightmare!
"You think you can just walk away from me? Did you even ask me?"
Dozens of meters away, Pei Qi's eyes were icy cold.
With a sudden flick of his right hand, an Ender Pearl emitting a ghostly green light flew out of his hand.
The pearl didn't hit Muzan directly; instead, it flew in a very high parabola towards the top of Muzan's head.
Almost simultaneously, Pei Qi waved his left hand repeatedly, and several seemingly ordinary snowballs, made of white snow, drew several strange arcs from the side.
In mid-air, the snowball, arriving later but arriving faster, accurately struck the flying Ender Pearl.
"Bang."
Pei Qi forcibly refreshed the pearl's landing point determination by colliding with it, creating a temporary teleportation coordinate in mid-air.
Pei Qi, who was originally dozens of meters away on the ground, suddenly appeared directly below Muzan's head, accompanied by a purple void particle effect.
Its location was perfect, right between Muzan and the teleportation portal, effectively blocking the Demon King's only escape route.
"Sorry, this road is closed, we are full."
Pei Qi looked up at Muzan, whose face was filled with astonishment and terror, and a cruel smile appeared on his lips.
In those fleeting fractions of a second, he pulled out a special magic orb whose surface was surging with violent blue energy.
Wind bullet.
This is a mobility enhancement that MC has given to players in its latest update.
It seals the whirlwind, which not only causes area damage but also has a "powerful knockback" effect with extremely high priority in the game.
Its knockback power far exceeds that of a blade enchanted with "Knockback II," and is even more powerful than the fireballs of ghasts that can destroy obsidian.
"take off!"
"boom--!!"
Without hesitation, Pei Qi detonated a wind bomb into the air beneath his feet.
The compressed gale instantly exploded, and the huge thrust generated completely ignored the acceleration due to gravity, lifting Pei Qi upwards again like a cannonball.
Immediately afterwards, the elytra on his back suddenly opened, and a three-stage firework rocket was instantly ignited in his hand.
"Hiss—Bang!"
The intense propulsive force of the gunpowder, combined with the terrifying initial velocity granted by the wind-blown projectile, allowed Pei Qi to break the sound barrier in that instant, leaving a white trail of air in his wake.
But he did not fly away.
With his astonishing dynamic vision and perfect control over the elytra mechanism, Pei Qi used this terrifying kinetic energy to complete a near-right-angle extreme spin and return in mid-air.
He instantly changed direction, transforming his upward sprint into a head-down, rapid dive.
At that very moment, an extremely exaggerated weapon appeared in Pei Qi's hand.
It was a huge, cube-shaped dark blue metal block attached to a sturdy obsidian handle.
Just looking at it, you can feel a suffocating sense of heaviness.
Heavy hammer.
This weapon was forged using the extremely rare "Heavy Core" from the Trial Chamber.
Unlike other weapons, the hammer possesses an amazing property: "potential energy conversion".
The higher the user falls, the greater the accumulated kinetic energy, and the more exaggerated the damage caused by the hammer.
At this moment, a purple enchantment glow was shimmering on that heavy hammerhead, the top-tier enchantments of Storm III and Intense V.
The dense material greatly increases the mass and impact force of the hammer, while the blast wave can convert the energy of the impact into a secondary explosion blast wave.
With these multiple buffs, what Pei Qi held in his hand was no longer a hammer, but a falling meteorite.
"Get down there!!!"
Pei Qi roared in the air, using the combined acceleration of the fireworks rockets and wind bullets, and the heavy hammer in his hand, carrying enormous kinetic energy, slammed hard into Muzan's chest.
"Thump—!!!"
A deep, heart-stopping bang exploded in mid-air.
Centered on the point of impact, a layer of white air burst out instantly!
The immense kinetic energy sent Muzan flying sideways like a baseball hit by a home run!
This attack did not sever any limbs, but the overwhelming force directly stripped Muzan of control over his own body.
"No--!!!"
Muzan watched helplessly as the portal representing life rapidly receded from his sight, growing smaller and smaller until it became an unreachable point of light.
His body traced an arc through the air before crashing heavily into the deep crater of ruins in the distance.
"I was prepared for this."
"Come and go as you please? Do you think this is your backyard? Since you're here, it would be a huge disrespect to my hospitality not to leave something behind."
As Muzan plummeted into the abyss, he finally saw the scene below.
That one glance almost froze the blood in his body.
The original Ubuyashiki residence has long since disappeared.
The explosion that just happened, which seemed to destroy everything, was merely the lifting of a disguised "lid".
As Pei Qi activated the redstone mechanism, the sticky piston assembly buried deep beneath the ground slowly receded, revealing its true form hidden beneath the surface soil.
It was a huge cavity that was tens of meters deep.
Within that hollow space, countless red and white squares were piled up in layers.
TNT.
Not a few hundred, nor a few thousand.
It was an ocean of TNT, enough to fill every single pixel of the retina. They lay there quietly.
As Muzan fell, each of the cubes lit up with the pale light it had when activated, emitting a continuous hissing sound like a countdown to death.
According to Pei Qi's calculations, an explosion of this magnitude would be enough to erase all physical existence within a radius of several kilometers.
For this reason, all the Demon Slayer Corps Pillars are on standby two kilometers away.
"You're insane...you're a madman!!!"
Muzan roared in the air, his voice sharp and piercing due to extreme terror, even carrying a hint of a sob.
The fourth second.
The white light below grew brighter and brighter, a sign that tens of thousands of TNT flares were about to detonate simultaneously.
The light shone on Wu Can's pale face, amplifying his despair infinitely.
For the first time, the shadow of death loomed so clearly over this creature that had lived for a thousand years.
In such dire circumstances, the most primal survival instinct of living beings overrides all reason.
"Since I'm not going to live... then you're not going anywhere either!!"
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"
Countless pale white bone whip tentacles with barbs shot out from behind Muzan, accompanied by the sound of flesh tearing apart.
Fueled by adrenaline and the will to survive, the tentacles instantly broke through previous limits, forming a web of flesh and blood that stretched for tens of meters, tightly binding Pei Qi, who was lighting a cigarette and flying away from the explosion zone.
"Got you!!"
The tentacles tightened instantly, and the immense pulling force caused Pei Qi to abruptly stop.
"Tsk."
Pei Qi frowned and suddenly detonated the firework rocket in his hand.
"Sizzle—Boom!"
The powerful propulsion of the level-three fireworks propelled Pei Qi high into the sky, but Muzan behind him acted like a heavy anchor, holding Pei Qi back tightly.
