The Nine Pillars listened to Li Yunqing's words. Most of them only knew about the patterns, which represented all the abilities of the original owner of the Breathing Technique, and some had even awakened them. They hadn't heard much about the Translucent Realm and the He, but judging by the Lord's expression, they assumed he knew. Therefore, they decided not to ask any further questions for now; they would wait until the Lord finished his conversation with Li Yunqing before inquiring.
Li Yunqing nodded. Muzan was incredibly powerful. After Kagaya Ubuyashiki's death, in order to survive, his strength had increased significantly compared to four hundred years ago. Even if Kagaya Ubuyashiki were still alive, he might not necessarily defeat Muzan now. It was impossible for him to have been slacking off for four hundred years.
So how did Li Yunqing manage to repel Kibou no Muzan? Ubuyashiki Yoya asked.
Li Yunqing answered directly, "It's simple; I'm stronger than him!"
Ubuyashiki Yoya looked at Li Yunqing. "Then why didn't you kill him?"
Li Yunqing anticipated this question and shook his head. "I just didn't want to kill him at that time. Next time we meet, I will."
Back then, Li Yunqing was only focused on the consciousness and rules of the realm. Now, after a period of reflection and understanding of certain emotions, he had gained some insights. He could kill the Demon King; he just needed to use the Breathing Technique to do so. That was the rule of this realm: the Demon King was to be killed by the Killer Demon Swordsman.
Upon hearing this, Ubuyashiki Yoya remained silent but nodded in understanding.
The other Pillars were already restless, and the first to step forward was Wind Pillar Shinazugawa Sanemi. "Li Yunqing is so strong; may I ask for your guidance on your techniques?"
Li Yunqing glanced at Shinazugawa Sanemi and smiled. "You're too weak. Sera, come here."
He looked toward Sera, who stepped forward at his command. Shinazugawa Sanemi glanced between Li Yunqing and Sera. Even though he knew this woman possessed Pillar-level strength, he still felt somewhat dissatisfied.
"I want to spar with you! Not with her!"
"Let’s see how you fare against me first! Not everyone gets to battle my husband!"
Sera looked directly at Shinazugawa Sanemi. "Then I'll defeat you and challenge him!"
The two stepped into an open space, drawing the attention of everyone around.
"Li Yunqing, aren't you worried? Shimi's strength is among the top in the Hashira," Ubuyashiki Yoya said with a smile, not stopping Sanemi's challenge.
Li Yunqing shook his head.
Although Sera had only been training for a little over a month and her Breathing Technique was not particularly refined, her physical abilities far surpassed those of Shinazugawa Sanemi.
"Oh? Isn't she just like Mitsuri?" Li Yunqing glanced at Kanroji Mitsuri, who was standing nearby watching the spectacle and turned to look when addressed by Lord.
"Is she the girl with muscle density eight times that of an ordinary person?" he asked, shaking his head.
"Not quite the same. Mitsuri is just stronger in muscle, while Sera is strong overall! Her reflexes, strength, speed, and thinking are all superior!"
"Is that so?" Ubuyashiki Yoya observed the battle between the two seriously. If that were the case, it was even more important to watch closely.
The other Hashira, eavesdropping on Lord and Li Yunqing's conversation, became more focused as well.
