..."Boom!"
Goku's full-power Kamehameha hit the blood-red windmill, and with hardly any pause, it engulfed the blood-red windmill.
Then it engulfed Rui, who had unleashed the blood-red windmill, and shot straight into the sky, forming a massive pillar of light.
When all the dust settled, the blood-red windmill and Rui's figure had completely vanished between heaven and earth.
As if they had never appeared.
"Uh... it seems a lot weaker than I expected."
Seeing that he had directly annihilated his opponent with just one Kamehameha, Goku scratched his head, a little surprised.
He had originally thought that since he was one of the Twelve Kizuki, and had spoken so arrogantly when unleashing his big move, completely disregarding him.
His strength should be quite good, at least much stronger than the Father Demon.
But he didn't expect him to be so weak.
Uncle Sanda always said how terrifying and powerful the Twelve Kizuki were, and the Mother Demon's memory of Rui was also one of extreme fear.
From his appearance until now, Rui had always been aloof, looking down on everyone.
It seemed as if he could kill everyone with just a little effort.
So Goku felt that the opponent should still have some strength, at least enough to have a good fight with him.
But he didn't expect such a result.
The main reason was that in other Worlds, he couldn't judge a person's strength solely based on their ki.
If it were in his own World, he could generally sense the opponent's strength based on their ki, and it wouldn't be too far off.
But other Worlds don't use ki training as a combat method; ki can only serve as a negligible reference.
Just like in the Harry Potter World, Dumbledore's ki wasn't as high as Yamucha's, but he lost when he went all out at first.
The Demon Slayers and demons in this World also don't train ki, so their ki is a bit higher than ordinary people, but it cannot be used as a standard for judging strength.
"He's a Lower Moon. Maybe the Upper Moons will be stronger. At the very least, Kibutsuji Muzan should still be quite powerful."
Goku was first a little disappointed, then he thought about it and felt that maybe he could still look forward to it.
After all, Uncle Sanda had said that Lower Moon demons had been killed by Pillars multiple times, while Upper Moon demons had never been killed once.
Moreover, Upper Moon demons had killed Pillars multiple times.
This shows that Upper Moon demons are much, much stronger than Lower Moon demons.
As for Kibutsuji Muzan, since he could create and command so many demons, he must be much, much stronger than the Upper Moon demons.
Thinking this way, Kibutsuji Muzan's strength might even be stronger than he imagined.
"What an exciting battle to look forward to!"
Coming back to his senses, he turned to look at Sanda and the others, and found that all of them had exaggerated expressions, as if their jaws had dropped to the floor.
"What's wrong with you? Are you injured?"
"No... no, is the Lower Moon Five dead?"
Sanda finally managed to suppress the shock in his heart and asked Goku with a trembling voice.
It was no wonder they were scared.
Their battles had always involved using breathing techniques to improve their physical abilities, making their sword strikes faster and stronger.
Different breathing techniques and forms simply meant different directions of physical enhancement and different trajectories of swordsmanship.
They had never seen anything like this.
With a "boom," the Lower Moon demon directly turned to ashes.
This technique was simply too terrifying. Was this really a fighting style that humans could master?
"He's dead; that guy's ki has dissipated."
Goku nodded affirmatively.
"Oh, it seems I was a step faster than Mr. Tomioka. Where is the Lower Moon Five demon?"
Just then, a figure as beautiful as a butterfly descended from the sky and landed in front of everyone.
She quickly scanned her surroundings, a look of confusion on her face.
"Insect Pillar My Lord!"
Sanda and the others immediately showed respectful expressions upon seeing the woman who appeared.
The newcomer was Shinobu Kocho, the Insect Pillar, one of the Nine Pillars.
"Could it be her!"
Sniffing her nose, Shinobu Kocho immediately fixed her gaze on the girl next to the Scarface Boy.
Then she unhesitatingly drew the nichirin blade from her waist.
"Dance of the Butterfly: Caprice!"
Shinobu Kocho, with an elegant and elusive movement technique, quickly appeared in front of the girl and thrust her blade at the girl's vital point.
Her speed was so fast that neither the girl nor the Scarface Boy next to her had time to react.
After receiving My Lord's command, she and the Water Pillar, Giyu Tomioka, brought the "Kakushi" unit responsible for aftermath and treatment, and quickly rushed to Mt. Natagumo.
Because there were two paths up the mountain, to prevent the Lower Moon Five demon from escaping, she and Giyu Tomioka each took one path.
Her path was faster, and she didn't delay along the way, so she arrived at the summit a step earlier.
On the summit, besides the Demon Slayer Corps members, she only saw one demon, and naturally assumed that demon was the Lower Moon Five they were looking for.
Even if it wasn't the Lower Moon Five, any demon had to be killed.
However, just as her blade was about to pierce the girl's vital point, a hand suddenly grabbed the girl's arm and pulled her to the left, narrowly dodging the attack.
"Hey, aren't you a Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps? Why are you attacking your own member?"
The one who acted was none other than Goku.
The girl was the Scarface Boy's companion and had just been helping to fight the Sister Demon. He believed she must also be a member of the Demon Slayer Corps.
But the Insect Pillar, as soon as she appeared, attacked the girl with a murderous aura, which made him somewhat confused.
Shinobu Kocho retreated, sheathing her blade with some surprise, and replied as a matter of course:
"Because she is not a member of our Demon Slayer Corps. She is the Lower Moon Five demon. A demon must be killed."
"No... no, she's not the Lower Moon Five. The Lower Moon Five has already been killed. She is my sister, Nezuko."
Tanjiro finally reacted at this moment and quickly came over to pull his sister, Nezuko, behind him to protect her.
"Insect Pillar My Lord, the Lower Moon Five demon has already been killed by Goku. She is not the Lower Moon Five demon."
At this moment, Sanda also rushed over to explain.
He didn't want the Insect Pillar to fight Goku due to a misunderstanding.
"You killed the Lower Moon Five?"
The Insect Pillar looked at Goku with some surprise. She didn't expect this boy to be able to kill a Lower Moon Five demon.
To be able to kill a Lower Moon Five, he already had strength close to a Pillar. No wonder he was able to pull that demon away to dodge her attack just now.
"She is not the Lower Moon Five, but she is still a demon. A demon must be killed. At most, I will gently kill her with a painless poison later."
Once one becomes a demon, they lose their humanity, become bloodthirsty, and devour humans. This is their instinct and cannot be changed.
Even if that demon was your parent, child, or partner, no matter how much they loved you before they became a demon.
After becoming a demon, they would eat you completely.
She had seen too many such incidents.
So, when she heard the Scarface Boy say that demon was his sister, her murderous aura did not diminish...
