The only response he received was the rippled sole of Xia Yan's shoe.
With the ultimate goal within reach, Xia Yan's heart was already set on Muzan, and he had no time to argue with Kokushibo.
Moreover, having lived for over four hundred years, he only began to seek the meaning of life on his deathbed.
What the hell were you doing all this time?!
After grinding his fist into the ground twice to confirm that Heishi Mu was completely dead, Xia Yan turned his gaze to the battlefield on the other side.
"Alright, next up is Muzan Kibutsuji!"
"An immortal body, eternal youth, and the power of Blood Demon Arts... Heh heh heh, I'm really looking forward to it..."
……
“——！！？”
"Kuroshibo is dead...!?"
"And what were those sparks that looked like the sun just now?!"
At the moment Kokushibo died.
Even when poisoned and unable to unleash half his full power, Muzan, surrounded and attacked by eleven Pillar-level swordsmen, was still able to hold his own with ease.
Suddenly, I froze on the spot.
He originally thought that he only needed to make a slight move to reach the pinnacle of this segment.
But then he discovered that he seemed to have been outmaneuvered from beginning to end.
It’s broken, it’s coming for me!
The opponent was not only fully prepared, but also found their nemesis!
The inflated confidence crumbled instantly, replaced by an inescapable fear.
It was a fear that surpassed that of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the first master of the Breath of the Sun, who lived more than 460 years ago.
"Hmph hmph hmph, hahahahaha..."
Kagaya Ubuyashiki's hearty laughter echoed in Muzan's mind.
The original plan was to let him witness the destruction of the Demon Slayer Corps, which is why his consciousness was preserved.
Unexpectedly, this allowed the other party to see Xia Yan's exposed Ripple Power, which was as effective against Ghost Heaven as sunlight!
"Kibutsuji Muzan, today is your end! Natsuhiko, you did well, you did well!! Hahahaha..."
"Shut up! Shut up, shut up, ahhh!!"
Muzan roared in fury, enraged as he devoured Kagaya Ubuyashiki's consciousness.
However, while Muzan was stunned by Natsuhiko's power and Ubuyashiki's interference, he gave the Pillars present an opportunity to take advantage of the situation!
"Hahahaha—Charge forward like a pig! Charge forward like a pig! Charge forward like a pig!!!"
"Go to hell, you dung beetle!!!"
Accompanied by a rough voice that was completely contrary to her beautiful, woman-like face, two serrated long swords were crossed in front of Inosuke's chest.
Then, centering on Muzan's head, he forcefully slashed to both sides. In his Crimson Blade form, the broken, serrated longsword, like the crimson fangs of a wild beast, tore off Muzan's neck.

Chapter 443 The Righteous Circle Kick
The serrated blade, red-hot like a branding iron, severed Muzan's neck.
Although he didn't feel any particular pain, it still brought Muzan back to his senses, making him realize that he was still in the midst of a battle.
But before he could react,
The handsome, broad-shouldered man in front of them suddenly lowered his head.
The next second, a red-hot meteor hammer, over thirty centimeters in diameter, took the place of his head, giving Muzan a huge surprise.
Duang——
Muzan's head instantly lost half of its length, flying to the side, reminding him of a sport called table tennis that had been introduced to Japan decades ago.
Splash splash splash splash—
The clattering of the swaying chains blended together.
A huge black shadow blocked out the moonlight, covering Muzan's grotesque body.
Dragged by the iron chain, the iron ball was pulled back before it even hit the ground, and replaced by a huge, sharp axe.
The massive body of Beimingyu Xingming, which resembled that of a brown bear, suddenly leaped high into the air with extraordinary agility, using the momentum to throw his weapon downwards.
The glowing iron balls and iron axes, like missiles, bombarded Muzan's body with precision, alternating between attacks.
In the blink of an eye, half of his body was blasted into dust!
"Don't stop! This man won't die just because he's beheaded! We must keep attacking relentlessly! Until the sun rises!!!"
"Yes, Mr. Beimingjima!"
"Hmm! Leave it to me! Give it your all! Burn with passion!"
He was answered by Tanjiro and Kyojuro's equally energetic and passionate voices.
A scorching aura instantly filled the entire battlefield, making people feel as if the air itself had become scorching hot.
The great sun high in the sky transformed into a fire dragon, winding and coiling tightly around Muzan's headless body, binding every part of his body.
The raging fire transformed into a ferocious tiger, roaring and devouring Muzan's immobile body.

Breath of Flame, Fifth Form: Flame Tiger!
After nearly two months of training, every swordsman present knew how to cooperate with their opponent and achieve a synergy greater than the sum of its parts.
No matter how you attack, it won't interfere with others. Just by looking at the opponent's starting move, you'll know how you should coordinate.
The attacks came and went, one after another, without the slightest pause.
Although he still couldn't kill Muzan, he had firmly confined him to this battlefield.
The current Pillar-level swordsmen are: Gyomei Himejima (Stone Pillar), Kyojuro Rengoku (Stone Pillar), Sanemi Shinazugawa (Wind Pillar), Giyu Tomioka (Water Pillar), Tokito and his brother (Mist Pillar), Obanai Iguro (Snake Pillar), and Mitsuri Kanroji (Love Pillar).
Former Pillar-level swordsmen, former Sound Pillar Tengen Uzui, and former Flower Pillar Kanae Narukami.
Tanjiro Kamado, Nezuko Kamado, Inosuke Hashibira, Genya Shinazugawa, and Kanao Tsuyuri, all possess the strength of Pillar-level swordsmen.
Fifteen swordsmen who have awakened their markings and wield crimson blades, eight of whom have awakened the Transparent World!
Although, apart from Kanae, who is an oni, every swordsman had some injuries, none of them were enough to affect their combat effectiveness.
To borrow the words of a famous American butt model, they can spend an entire day like this!
Although Muzan's attacks are mixed with his own blood and cells, they can cause damage to the human body.
However, because there were plenty of people, the injured swordsmen had enough time to find Tamayo and Shinobu, who were staying behind, to get an antidote.
In contrast, Muzan...
Surrounded by a group of powerful and perfectly coordinated swordsmen, Muzan had no time to break down the toxins in his body under the righteous ring kicks.
The toxins continued to damage and weaken Muzan's physical strength, making him increasingly weak and unable to fully cope with the swordsmen's siege.
This creates a closed, vicious cycle!
As Muzan continues to weaken, the scars left by Yoriichi Tsugikuni more than four hundred years ago reappear on his body!
These scars have survived in an incredible way, burning Muzan's body and cells like sunlight for centuries.
It's completely unrepairable!
It can only be hidden by its powerful self-healing ability.
Now, with the accumulation of poison and damage, Muzan is so weak that he can no longer hide these scars!
However, this also made Muzan realize the threat these swordsmen posed to him!
Damn it! My body is getting weaker and weaker! If this continues, it might really be in danger!
And that monster that killed Kokushibo! That spark that was like sunlight!
Narukami Natsuhiko! That monster must be heading this way!
Yes! I can feel him getting closer and closer to me!
Why do these real monsters keep appearing in this world?
We can't delay any longer. We need to abandon the decomposition of the poison, focus all our efforts on repairing our bodies, and get out of this encirclement!
With this in mind, Muzan consciously abandoned the cells' spontaneous resistance to the poison, allowing it to spread further within his body, and focused all his efforts on repairing his damaged body.
The half of the body that had been worn away grew back almost instantly!
The sudden turn of events shocked Tanjiro and Kyojuro for a moment, while Gyomei Himejima was unable to launch an attack for the time being because he was still suspended in mid-air.
Seizing this brief moment of opportunity, Muzan, without the slightest hesitation, turned and ran!
boom--
A deep, crater was left in the ground, and under the powerful reaction force, Muzan's figure disappeared from the spot as if he had teleported!
"He escaped!! Mr. Uzui! Miss Kanroji! He escaped, Muzan escaped!!"
Tanjiro immediately issued a warning after discovering Muzan's escape!
"Hahahaha! Leave the grand spectacle to me! I've been waiting for this for ages! Let me gloriously drive this booger-like trash back! It's already glorious enough!"
Before he could finish speaking, Uzui Tengen's figure had already appeared in front of Muzan.
The speed that burst forth in an instant actually surpassed that of Muzan, the strongest demon, and successfully intercepted him halfway!
"Get out of my way, you nobody, you inferior creature!!!"
Seeing the ninja blocking his way, Muzan's eyes widened in fury. The nine whips on his back and the eight on his legs lashed out at Uzui Tengen simultaneously, without any discernible pattern!
