Starting in The Boys to Become the Ultimate Lifeform.

Chapter 161: Muzan, Don't Get Excited Just Hearing About the Blue Spider Lily.

"Miss Tamayo, I heard you need the blood of the Twelve Kizuki for your research?"

"You're spying on us!" Yushiro, who was standing nearby, immediately realized they were being monitored. No wonder the other party could see through the Blindfold Technique he had set up. "Who exactly are you? What do you want? You're not welcome here!"

"Yushiro, please don't speak to our guest in that tone."

Tamayo smiled apologetically at Xia Shang. "Yushiro is a bit short-tempered. Please forgive him."

"It's fine, I don't mind." Xia Shang picked up a piece of white paper from the counter, then used a pen nearby to draw a pattern of hanafuda earrings on it.

"Thank you."

"We do indeed need the blood of the Twelve Kizuki, because only by researching the demon blood within their bodies can we find a way to turn demons back into humans." Tamayo's voice remained steady, neither rushed nor slow, sounding exceptionally gentle.

"Help me remove the curse from Mukago's body, and you can research her blood however you like. Besides that, have you heard of the Blue Spider Lily?"

"Yes, I know. That's the plant Muzan Kibutsuji has always wanted to find. Initially, he created demons specifically to find the Blue Spider Lily."

Tamayo nodded slightly.

Since the Blue Spider Lily has been mentioned, it's necessary to talk about how Muzan became a demon in the first place.

Tamayo knew a little about this.

"Muzan Kibutsuji once told me himself that he was born in the distant Heian period. At that time, because his physique was too weak, he almost died in his mother's womb. He was even born stillborn, but relying on his powerful will and obsession to live, he crawled back from the brink of death.

However, weakness and illness did not leave him. In his youth, a doctor found him and developed a medicine for him that could provide life extension. But the side effect of this medicine caused his condition to worsen. In a fit of rage, he killed that kind doctor.

However, sometimes fate is strange. After the doctor died, Muzan Kibutsuji was surprised to discover that not only had his illness been cured, but he had also gained a much stronger body, becoming ageless and immortal, forever remaining in a healthy state."

The few people inside the house quietly listened to Tamayo recount Muzan's story. After all, as Muzan's former doctor, Tamayo understood him very well; otherwise, she couldn't have developed a serum capable of suppressing Muzan's cells regeneration and Blood Demon Art.

"All gifts bestowed by fate have already been marked with a price in secret."

Xia Shang suddenly spoke.

"That's right. Later, Muzan Kibutsuji discovered that he craved to eat the flesh and blood of humans. Of course, this was insignificant compared to his immense strength. What truly angered and humiliated Muzan was that once he was exposed to sunlight, the cells in his body would die, and it was irreversible.

To overcome his only defect, he opened the book left behind by the doctor and found the complete prescription inside. He discovered that in the complete prescription, there was a crucial plant called the Blue Spider Lily. However, only the deceased doctor knew the environment, appearance, and location where this plant grew.

Therefore, in order to obtain the Blue Spider Lily and become the strongest creature in the true sense, he created a large number of demons to search for this plant for him.

Unfortunately, for hundreds of years, he has gained nothing."

After Tamayo finished speaking, Murata subconsciously asked, "Miss Tamayo, how do you know so much?"

Tamayo glanced at Murata with her pale purple eyes, then continued in a gentle tone, "Because he gained nothing, he thought about finding some skilled doctors to develop a medicine that could help him resist sunlight, and I was the one he chose."

At that time, Tamayo was already suffering from a terminal illness. However, at this very moment, Muzan found her and promised to help her extend her lifespan. In order to witness her child grow up successfully, under Muzan's temptation, Tamayo ultimately chose to believe Muzan.

But that bastard Muzan had no martial ethics; he directly turned Tamayo into a demon. In the end, because Tamayo couldn't control her body, she personally killed her husband and child. "What if I told you I know where the Blue Spider Lily is?"

Xia Shang's mouth curved slightly upward. He glanced at Mukago, whose heart was beating rapidly, and waved his hand, completely sealing off all her sensory organs! Muzan, don't get excited just hearing about the Blue Spider Lily.

...

On the other side.

Outside Tokyo Prefecture, Muzan, whose eyes were tightly closed, suddenly opened his eyes!

"You damned bastard!!!"

After cutting off Mukago's vision, Muzan roared in anger. He crushed the wooden armrest in his hand, his chest heaving violently. At the same time, the astonishing strength Xia Shang had displayed played repeatedly in his mind, starting from when Xia Shang threw the Nichirin Blade in his hand, wreathed in flames and waves.

Until the opponent displayed terrifying speed and changes in his physical body.

All of this fully demonstrated that the opponent's strength was not weak.

"How could he know about the Blue Spider Lily?! This guy has none of my blood in his body at all. Could it be..." A hint of surprise flashed in Muzan's eyes. Coupled with the opponent's apparent lack of fear towards sunlight, a bold guess formed in his mind at this moment.

Could it be that I wasn't the only human treated by that doctor using the prescription! And the other party used the complete version of the serum.

That's why he possesses the same ability as me, can cause changes in his physical body just like me, and can control demons through flesh and blood just like me.

Furthermore, he is even more perfect than me.

Muzan's expression was incredibly hideous. An emotion called jealousy and hatred burned fiercely in his heart.

"Bastard! How can you deserve to have all this? I refuse to accept it! I must eat you. Maybe if I eat you, I can obtain strength far greater than what I have now, becoming ageless and immortal, something that even the sun cannot destroy." Muzan lowered his head, his eyes filled with greed and excitement. He believed his guess was correct.

Kindred!

What a tempting kindred!

"It seems I must quickly gather all the Upper Ranks. Although the opponent might be stronger than me, I have the Twelve Kizuki. I don't believe he can still hold out if six Upper Ranks hunt him down together."

That's right, the Muzan, who is greedy for life and afraid of death, was preparing to go back and gather a group of the Twelve Kizuki.

Even though Xia Shang was less than three kilometers away from him, he still didn't dare to act personally.

However, even if Xia Shang hadn't displayed astonishing strength, he wouldn't have acted personally.

"I really didn't expect it. There's actually a second special existence in the world. But why did he only appear recently? Has he been sleeping for the past thousand years?" Muzan didn't exactly lose his head from the surprise; a doubtful emotion gradually surfaced in his eyes.

But for him, even if his judgment was wrong, it didn't matter.

The opponent actually knows the location of the Blue Spider Lily. Just based on this point alone, it's enough!
