Chapter 780: Have You Used the Complete Drug Before?
Chapter 780: Have You Used the Complete Drug Before?
"What a pity, but it doesn't matter." Feng Ye smiled at Tamayo.
The existence of Demon King Kibutsuji Muzan had brought countless sufferings to the world, but Feng Ye didn't care. Even without Muzan, as long as there were people, there would be suffering. War, chaos... these were inevitable.
In the end, Muzan was just an insignificant life in this world. He might stand out a little, but in the long river of time, in Feng Ye's eyes, he was no different from any other life form.
The only one worthy of his praise in this world was Kikoku Yoshitsu, and only him.
"You seem to know a lot about the past."
Zhu Shi, regaining her composure, looked at Feng Ye with a hint of curiosity in her eyes. She had personally experienced the events of centuries ago, and they felt like yesterday to her. But Feng Ye also seemed to have a sense of having witnessed them himself, which intrigued her. In her perception, Feng Ye was not a demon, nor could he possibly be someone who had lived for hundreds of years.
"I know everything," Feng Ye said calmly. "The past and the future."
"Nonsense!" Yuishiro, standing next to Tamayo, couldn't hold back any longer. He turned to Tamayo and said, "Lady Tamayo, this guy is a bit delusional. It's best to avoid him."
Tamayo frowned and said, "Yuishiro! If you keep interrupting, you can leave!"
"Y-Yes, Lady Tamayo," Yuishiro replied meekly, shrinking his neck.
Tamayo turned back to Feng Ye, slightly apologetic. "I apologize for his rudeness. He really doesn't understand manners."
Although Yuishiro still gave Feng Ye a hostile look, Tamayo's words confirmed that Feng Ye was no ordinary man.
Even if he wasn't a powerful demon slayer, he was surely a wise sage.
Perhaps she could gain some insight and help from him.
Feng Ye looked at her, his eyes deep as if seeing through all her thoughts. "I know of a drug that can destroy Muzan's cells, and I also know a way to kill Kibutsuji Muzan."
Boom! These two simple sentences were like rolling thunder to Tamayo.
She had wanted to ask Feng Ye about these things, although she didn't have high hopes. After all, her centuries of research had not yielded a poison that she could be absolutely certain of. But before she could even ask, Feng Ye had already provided the answers, and the impact on her was almost as great as when Yoshitsu had defeated Muzan with a single sword strike.
"Y-You really know these things?" Tamayo couldn't maintain her calm any longer, her voice trembling slightly.
She still found it hard to believe.
"I know everything in this world," Feng Ye smiled, but then he withdrew his gaze, looking up at the dark sky. "However, I won't give this knowledge to you."
"Why?" Tamayo exclaimed, her eyes wide. "You know so much, and you must know that Muzan should not exist in this world. He should be destroyed!"
"That's just your opinion," Feng Ye said gently as he reached down and picked up a handful of sand from the ground. He opened his hand, letting the sand slip through his fingers. "Every life is but a grain of sand. Muzan is just one of these grains, a part of this sand. In your eyes, he should disappear, but in my eyes, whether he disappears or exists is of no consequence."
As he spoke these words, Feng Ye also felt a sense of lament within himself. His own mentality had gradually shifted from that of a mortal to that of a god.
"The stronger one becomes, the more god-like, and the more neutral and indifferent one becomes."
Hearing Feng Ye's words, Zhu Shi couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
The atrocities Muzan had committed, the slaughter he had unleashed, were etched deep into her memory. To hear Feng Ye say that Muzan's existence held no significance was something she couldn't accept!
"I understand now. You've never witnessed those atrocities first-hand. You probably only know about them from books. You have no idea the kind of hell Muzan created!"
"You know nothing at all!"
Zhu Shi glared at Feng Ye, her anger palpable.
Even in her anger, her exquisite beauty was undeniable, causing Yuishiro beside her to stare in awe.
"So beautiful," Feng Ye remarked, ignoring Zhu Shi's fury.
"What did you just say, you arrogant fool?! You deserve a lesson!" Yuishiro couldn't contain his anger any longer. He lunged at Feng Ye, intending to teach him a harsh lesson for daring to speak to Zhu Shi in such a casual manner.
However, as he reached Feng Ye and threw a punch at his face, he felt as if the air had turned into quicksand, slowing his movements.
Eventually, he froze in mid-air, his fist raised, unable to move a muscle.
"Yuishiro!" Zhu Shi exclaimed, her eyes widening in shock. "Blood Demon Art? No, you're not a demon, but this ability..."
It was clear that Yuishiro had been affected by some strange ability, as he was completely immobilized. While there were powerful swordsmen like Koku Kaishi in this world, they didn't possess such peculiar abilities.
The only thing she could think of that resembled this ability was the Blood Demon Art.
"Of course, it's not a Blood Demon Art."
"The Blood Demon Art is merely a derivative ability stemming from Muzan's blood. As for Muzan's ability, it's nothing more than an incomplete drug, an imperfect life ascension." Feng Ye spoke nonchalantly.
The so-called demons in this world were more like monsters, as they still had flesh and blood, albeit with a cheap imitation of immortality.
"...An imperfect life ascension?" Zhu Shi's brow furrowed as a bead of sweat formed on her forehead. She felt that the situation was unfolding in a direction she hadn't anticipated.
She was aware that the drug Muzan had taken was incomplete, as he had been searching for the Blue Mistflower to perfect it, but to no avail.
Her intelligence far surpassed that of ordinary people, and just from these few words spoken by Feng Ye, her mind raced with countless thoughts and possibilities.
An incomplete drug...
Life ascension...
The dismissive tone...
The nonchalant attitude...
Coupled with an ability resembling the Blood Demon Art...
And Feng Ye's earlier claim of knowing all drugs...
All these pieces of information led Zhu Shi to a shocking realization. She stared at Feng Ye, her eyes wide, and asked, "You... have you used the complete drug before?!"
No wonder Feng Ye was so indifferent towards Muzan. No wonder he knew so much about the past. No wonder he seemed like a demon yet possessed the Blood Demon Art!
If Feng Ye was someone who had used the complete drug, a 'demon' more pure and perfect than Muzan, then everything made sense!
