Demon Slayer: Tanjiro becomes a ghost, Nezuko becomes a pillar!

Chapter 151 A Cage of Flesh and Blood

The next second, a scene that sent chills down everyone's spine and almost made their stomachs churn suddenly burst into their view—

The entire speeding Infinite Train was completely enveloped and sealed off by a massive, indescribably dark mass of flesh and blood.

That wasn't ordinary ghostly energy, but a huge fleshy sac with a texture like semi-transparent gel, its surface crawling with densely packed writhing blood vessels and dark purple viscous fluid.

The fleshy sac, like the skin of a giant beast, constantly contracts and expands, and with each breath-like rise and fall, the fleshy sac can be seen wriggling.

Every inch of it reeked of a nauseating, putrid stench, mixed with a chilling, desperate atmosphere, which permeated the night wind, making it almost impossible to breathe.

Under the frenzied pressure of the fleshy mass, the metal roof began to twist and dent, emitting a metallic groan of unbearable strain. The once flat roof gradually deformed, as if it would be completely crushed by the hideous maw at any moment.

The whole world seemed to be sealed off by this mass of flesh and blood.

As far as the eye could see, there was only dark, writhing flesh and a suffocating sense of oppression. Even the night and the forest in the distance were completely obscured, leaving only an endless expanse of eerie flesh and blood.

Tanjiro's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints, and his entire nervous system was stretched to its limit.

His nose twitched wildly, but he couldn't smell the stench of blood at all; he could only smell the cold, ghostly aura that was typical of evil spirits.

Moreover, I smelled a cold, damp, and suffocating aura of despair, like an abyss.

That heavy feeling pressed down on my heart, making it difficult to even breathe.

Is this... the Blood Demon Art of that demon named Nightmare?

Tanjiro watched as the train beneath his feet was completely enveloped and assimilated by that mass of flesh and blood. His heart pounded wildly, his eyes were filled with terror and unease, and his voice trembled almost imperceptibly.

He had never seen such bizarre blood demon magic, which could fuse the entire train with huge flesh and blood. Just looking at it made him feel uneasy to the bone.

Kyojuro Rengoku stood in the center of the car roof, his body engulfed in scorching crimson flames, forming a solid wall of fire that repelled all the sticky flesh and blood around him.

The flames crackled and flickered, dispelling the nauseating stench, but still could not completely diminish the eerie aura.

Faced with this enormous mass of flesh that devours everything.

Even Rengoku Kyojuro frowned, his golden eyes filled with seriousness, and the flames around him grew even hotter, yet he could not find the slightest opening to attack.

This aura... it's too eerie.

What does it want to do?

Kyojuro murmured to himself, his eyes fixed on the writhing mass of flesh and blood, his mind racing as he tried to figure out Nightmare's intentions.

"What the hell?! How dare you block my way!"

Inosuke instantly bristled, his eyes, hidden behind the boar's head mask, widened in anger and repulsion.

He had an innate aversion to such chaotic, unknown, and disgusting scenes, and he felt an instinctive disgust for the writhing mass of flesh and blood before him.

He gripped his twin knives tightly, stomped hard on the already twisting roof of the car, and looked at the black flesh and blood that was constantly squeezing in and emitting a bloody smell. His temper flared up instantly, and his wild aura exploded.

Nightmare stood in the center of the fleshy mass, slowly closing her eyes, a morbid smile of extreme enjoyment and near-madness on her face.

His hands were gently outstretched, as if embracing this grand hunt, or as if embracing his own perfect territory. He murmured softly, his tone filled with barely suppressed excitement and satisfaction.

"Perfect...it's too perfect..."

"This is my domain, the Mugen Train is within my flesh and blood! All those trapped here, whether passengers or demons of the Demon Slayer Corps, are my nourishment, the delicacies of my feast."

Upon hearing Enmu's words, Kyojuro's pupils shrank instantly, and he immediately understood the true nature of this mass of flesh and blood.

So this is Nightmare's Blood Demon Art.

He completely assimilated his body with the entire Infinite Train, and the entire train became part of his body.

The ordinary passengers who were asleep at this moment became nourishment for him, and he could devour them at any time.

"Stove boy, pig-headed boy, hurry up..."

Kyojuro immediately spoke up, wanting to arrange Tanjiro and Inosuke's actions.

But in the next second, Kyojuro caught a chilling glimpse out of the corner of his eye—

The Lower Moon 2, Lower Moon 3, and Lower Moon 4 were slowly lifting their feet, gradually merging into the constantly writhing flesh beneath their feet.

Their bodies blended seamlessly with the dark flesh and blood, without the slightest pain of being devoured.

Instead, their faces were filled with extreme greed and excitement, as if they were not being assimilated, but entering their own hunting ground.

Upon seeing this, Kyojuro's mind raced, rapidly rehearsing all the possibilities in his head.

Soon, the most likely conclusion became clear—

These three Lower Moon demons were not devoured by Nightmare, but rather formed a strange symbiosis with her. Together, they would sneak into every carriage of the train and slaughter the unsuspecting passengers.

Almost instantly, Kyojuro came up with the best solution.

Meanwhile, Tanjiro and Inosuke, standing to the side, were already prepared to await orders, their eyes sharp and their bodies tense, ready to act at any moment.

The next second, Kyojuro no longer hesitated, gripped his Nichirin Blade tightly, and slashed fiercely at the writhing flesh beneath his feet.

"Flame Breathing, Third Form: All-Encompassing Flame!"

The crimson flames that shot into the sky suddenly erupted, transforming into a massive fire blade that, with a sharp, all-splitting force, slashed fiercely at the flesh beneath its feet.

Wherever the flames passed, the dark flesh was instantly scorched and vaporized by the high temperature, emitting a sizzling sound. Even the train's metal sheeting was cut through by the flames, revealing the pitch-black interior of the carriages below.

"Stove boy, pig-headed boy! You two immediately stop Lower Moon One Enmu, I'll deal with the three Lower Moons entering the carriage!"

The moment Kyojuro finished speaking, the flames around him vanished, and he jumped off the roof of the car without hesitation, speeding towards the carriage below.

The hole cleaved open by the flames was rapidly covered by flesh and blood again at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it had never been cleaved open at all, under the control of Nightmare.

Tanjiro and Inosuke instantly understood Kyojuro's tactics. They exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with determination.

Without the slightest hesitation, they gripped their Nichirin Blades and sped towards Nightmare, launching a swift attack.

Enmu watched Tanjiro and Inosuke charging towards her, a faint, sickly smile still on her face, showing no sign of panic.

Just as the two were about to get close, Nightmare's body suddenly turned into a phantom and slowly fell backward, completely merging into the flesh and blood beneath her feet and disappearing without a trace.

Tanjiro and Inosuke's attacks missed their mark instantly, striking the writhing flesh with a dull thud. The flesh remained unharmed, instead splattering with a thick, dark fluid.

"Don't worry, soon you will become my nourishment too..."
