Xia Feng shook his head. "Sorry, but your death isn't just because of me—it's also because of all those Demon Slayers, both the fallen and the living."
Muzan sneered coldly. "But now you don't even have a Nichirin Blade. How are you going to kill me? I don't need any weapon!"
Xia Feng bent down and picked up a tree branch. It still had leaves on it.
"Have you ever seen a dance? The kind… used to worship the Fire God."
He recalled the dance Tanjiro once showed him.
Muzan frowned, unsure what Xia Feng was planning.
Xia Feng began to imitate the Kagura dance Tanjiro had performed. He understood better than anyone that this "Kagura" was actually the Sun Breathing—just transformed into a dance so it could be passed down more easily.
But Muzan, who had once faced Yoriichi Tsugikuni, recognized it instantly.
This was the very same Sun Breathing that had nearly killed him.
His eyes widened as he stared at Xia Feng—as if seeing Yoriichi's shadow overlapping him.
"How… how is this possible?! Why does a successor of Sun Breathing still exist?! Back then, I clearly—"
Muzan was in disbelief.
He had slaughtered all of its inheritors… or so he thought.
Was there really a survivor?
Xia Feng didn't care about his shock. After finishing the dance, he looked at Muzan.
"So now you understand? There's no escaping today."
Muzan gritted his teeth. "I don't understand! How could Sun Breathing still be passed down? Then what was the meaning of everything I did?!"
Xia Feng shrugged. "Who knows."
The branch in his hand thrust forward, the power of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception activated to its limit.
In an instant, Xia Feng appeared before Muzan.
Muzan shrieked, "Even if you know Sun Breathing, so what?! Without a Nichirin Blade, you can't kill me!!"
Slash!!
Blood sprayed.
Muzan was sent flying backward by the branch.
Hinokami Kagura: Clear Blue Sky!
The branch pierced straight through Muzan's neck, pinning him in place as his eyes widened in shock.
Xia Feng clapped his hands lightly.
The branch had nailed Muzan to the wall of the small temple—directly under the sunlight.
At that moment, Xia Feng noticed something astonishing.
Beside the temple, a small blue flower was slowly blooming.
Muzan recognized it instantly.
He had seen it in ancient texts—the very thing he had spent his entire life searching for.
The Blue Spider Lily.
Xia Feng stood quietly, watching as Muzan's body gradually disintegrated under the sunlight.
Muzan let out a bitter laugh. "So in the end… I was defeated. I lived for so many years, yet I still couldn't escape destruction. How ironic…"
Xia Feng said nothing. He walked up, placed a hand on Muzan's arm, and said calmly:
"Death isn't so frightening… is it?"
Muzan froze for a moment.
[Kibutsuji Muzan has acknowledged you. Reward: One Diamond-tier Draw!]
[Drawing… Success! Congratulations, you've obtained the Diamond Ability: Flying Thunder God!]
Flying Thunder God: By marking a location or object the user has touched with a teleportation formula, the user can instantly teleport to it.
Xia Feng was stunned.
He hadn't expected to draw such an overpowered ability.
With this, back in the Infinity Castle, he wouldn't have needed to fight his way forward—one teleport and he could've appeared right beside Muzan.
An ability like this—instant positioning near enemies—was practically impossible to defend against.
Perfect for combat… or anything else.
Only after confirming Muzan had completely perished did Xia Feng turn and head back to headquarters.
—
Three months later, the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters had finally been partially restored.
A week ago, Tamayo had successfully developed a cure.
Although Muzan was dead, demons still existed in the world. Even if they were no longer powerful, leaving them unchecked would still be dangerous.
So the Demon Slayers remained busy with missions.
Nezuko had finally turned back into a human.
Though, admittedly, Xia Feng somewhat missed her demon form.
Ubuyashiki passed away peacefully three days after taking the medicine. His body had long been beyond saving—lasting that long was already a testament to his will.
The new head of the Demon Slayer Corps became his son, Ubuyashiki Kiriya.
Shinobu Kocho leaned against Xia Feng, gazing at the distant scenery.
The Hashira now stayed to guard headquarters. Unless powerful demons appeared, they wouldn't be deployed.
Ordinary demons were left to regular slayers.
"How peaceful…" Shinobu murmured.
Xia Feng nodded. "Isn't that a good thing?"
Shinobu shook her head slightly. "I just feel like… you're going to leave me."
Xia Feng looked at her, puzzled.
He was right here—how could he leave?
Shinobu smiled gently. "Your appearance… it's like you existed just to kill Kibutsuji Muzan. Now that your task is complete, it feels like… you'll leave this world."
Xia Feng pulled her into his arms. "What are you talking about? I feel like I showed up just to become your man."
Shinobu's expression brightened. "However you put it… as long as you're here, that's all that matters."
Xia Feng nodded, holding her tighter.
[Host, prepare for dimensional transfer. In three days, you will enter the next world. Coordinates unknown…]
Xia Feng froze.
He hadn't expected this at all.
Shinobu had been right—he really was about to leave.
But he didn't want to go.
The demons were nearly gone. This world was finally at peace.
He could enjoy everything here—
Love. Family.
"Can I bring someone with me?" Xia Feng asked the system.
[Host, rest assured. You may return to this world even after traveling to others. As long as the system pathway exists, you can freely traverse between worlds.]
Hearing that, Xia Feng finally let out a breath of relief.
At least… it wasn't a permanent goodbye.
