Chapter 171

"Captain, are we late?"

The Tianshu Bureau team has arrived, but looking at the current situation, it seems that one has already died.

The team member looks at the captain beside him and asks with some hesitation.

"... It seems we are a bit late."

The captain also has a headache. They have already arrived at the fastest speed, but how long the battle between Myriad Realms treasure holders can last is completely not something he can decide.

This fight is like fast-forwarding; they can't catch up even if they step on the accelerator to the end.

"But why would they fight?"

"Do these two Myriad Realms treasure holders have a grudge?"

This is what he has never been able to understand. Could it be that the Myriad Realms treasure holders had a grudge before obtaining the Myriad Realms treasures, then went to take revenge after obtaining the Myriad Realms treasures, only to find that the other party also obtained Myriad Realms treasures?

"Captain, I might know."

"Hmm? Tell me about it."

The captain looks at the team member with some surprise.

"Captain, you should have heard the Sun Breathing shouted by that sword-wielding Myriad Realms treasure holder just now, so if there is no accident, he should be a holder of the Myriad Realms treasure of the *Demon Slayer* world, just don't know if it is Yoriichi Tsugikuni or Tanjiro's template, or their inheritance, or just the cultivation technique of Sun Breathing."

"And the other one, although I can't tell, that pale skin color feels a bit like a demon."

"Maybe the other party obtained the inheritance of a demon in the *Demon Slayer* world, turned into a demon himself, and then was discovered by another person, so they fought."

The team member speculates based on what he just heard, and the captain thinks thoughtfully:

"You mean that person might be a demon?"

The captain has also watched *Demon Slayer*. Sakura has four things that must be tasted: music, manga, and animation.

Although he only came into contact with animation after the dimensional invasion, he has watched it a little bit.

*Demon Slayer* was quite popular before.

If it is the Demon Slayer Corps and a demon, then it can be determined why they fought to the death as soon as they met.

And after determining that the other party might be a demon, let alone the sword-wielding one, he wants to go up and control him.

No matter what level of demon, as long as it appears in reality, it is a dangerous thing; the higher the level, the more dangerous it is.

Not to mention this demon, who can compete with Sun Breathing users, the danger is self-evident.

But now it seems to be dead?

Just when the captain thinks so, a crazy laugh comes from the flames.

"Hahaha, so that's it!"

"The consumption of opening the mark is greater than imagined. Even the blow just now is not as good as when you didn't open the mark before."

"Such a weak attack, I thought I was really going to die."

"Hahahaha."

Zhou Ming's body twists and deforms in the flames, but regenerates at a speed visible to the naked eye.

If Li Shuyang's blow just now was a full-force blow under the mark state as before, then he might really have died, but it turned out to be not even as good as when he didn't open the mark before.

It seems that the consumption of opening the mark is far greater than he imagined.

Such a weak attack, even if he stands still and lets him do it, so what?

His self-healing doesn't even need to consume spiritual energy for this degree of damage.

He can't kill him!

Li Shuyang hears Zhou Ming's words and grinds his teeth to support his body. Just as the other party said, the side effects of forcibly opening the mark begin to appear, and the muscles of his whole body are screaming; just two forms of Sun Breathing, and he exited the mark state.

So the blow just now was not even as good as his normal state.

And now, he has almost no spiritual energy in his body, and he can't even use the blow just now.

But he won't give up just like that.

Just as he holds the sword and prepares to walk into the flames to continue fighting with Zhou Ming, a serious voice rings out in the air.

"That's enough."

The captain's sharp shout breaks the deadlock, and the fully armed special service personnel have surrounded the two, although the muzzles have never been aimed at the two, they are also tense, preventing the two from having any unusual movements.

"Zhaoyang City Tianshu Bureau Seventh Special Action Group."

The captain shows his ID, his gaze scanning back and forth between the two.

"According to the *Ability User Management Regulations*, please stop fighting immediately and cooperate with the investigation."

Zhou Ming raises his hands immediately, and points at Li Shuyang:

"I fully cooperate with the investigation! By the way, I report that this person trespassed on private property and attacked me. I am acting in self-defense."

Li Shuyang glances at him and says seriously to the captain:

"He is a holder of the Muzan Kibutsuji template, and I don't know how much blood is on his hands. I suggest the Tianshu Bureau immediately dispatch ability users who are good at soul and aura tracking to locate the flesh and blood of every part of his body to prevent any of his flesh and blood tissues from escaping..."

"Or ask Jiang Qingyao, the holder of the Eight Miraculous Skills *Double-Full Hand*, to transform his soul, erase his demonic nature, and reshape his humanity to avoid being suppressed by demonic nature and harming humans."

"But to ensure nothing goes wrong, it is best to ask Master Zhong or Ye Shen to take action and completely kill him."

The boy's eyes are as sharp as a knife, and there is no mercy in his words.

He can't kill him, so let others kill him.

If it is Ye Shen and Master Zhong, there must be a way to kill the other party.

As for letting him bask in the sun during the day, with the cunning of humans superimposed on the "Muzan Kibutsuji" template, he might have been prepared for a long time. Only the temperature of Ryujin Jakka's sun core or the weight of rock makes people feel at ease.

"You fucking fart!"

Zhou Ming's forehead veins bulge.

"I haven't even killed a chicken! And what I obtained is just ability, not a template!"

Although he was a bit bloated after obtaining Muzan Kibutsuji's power and did want to enjoy that superior power, who doesn't want to?

He hasn't done anything yet, right?

Do you understand what "a gentleman discusses deeds, not intentions; if you discuss intentions, there are no perfect people in the world" means? Just because the power he obtained comes from Muzan Kibutsuji, he should die?

There are many people in the world who have evil thoughts, why don't you see them all being arrested?

"If it's a demon, how can humans believe it?"

"Even if you haven't killed anyone now, you will definitely kill in the future—because you are a demon!"

Li Shuyang says without hesitation.

"So what if I'm a demon? Should a demon die?!"

Zhou Ming laughs out of extreme anger.

"Of course you should die!"

"If you don't die, should innocent people die?"

Seeing the two at daggers drawn, the captain steps forward, spreads his arms to separate the two:

"Alright! Shut up!"

He rubs his temples, only feeling a headache.

If Zhou Ming is as he said, only obtained Muzan's ability and has not hurt anyone, then no matter which regulation is followed, there is no problem.

It might happen in the future, and it's not even certain to happen, but just because the other party obtained the ability, you determine that the other party will kill people. In a novel, you might be creating a protagonist or villain who wants to destroy the world.

This is impossible for them to do.
