Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: Beating a Max-Level Boss

Nezuko really wanted to say a few more words to them, but her lungs were damaged, and it seemed that even breathing had started to become difficult for her.

Due to lack of oxygen, her consciousness was also gradually fading.

She forced herself to stay awake, wanting to take a few more looks at these loved ones, but... her eyes finally closed under an overwhelming sense of fatigue.

"Now is not the time for a funeral farewell ceremony."

Muzan's injuries had already fully recovered at this moment, his face carrying a cold sneer, and he looked playfully at everyone.

Jotaro gently handed Nezuko over to Aoi Kanzaki's arms,

then stood up from the ground with a dark expression.

He stood tall, hands in his pockets, his light green eyes aggressive and piercing.

"Demon!"

He said word by word, "I, Kujo Jotaro, will personally kill you!"

Muzan laughed out loud as if he had heard the world's biggest joke.

It took him a while to stop laughing, then he said harshly, "Just you? I've already figured out your strength."

"There's indeed something near you that exists. Its attacks are elusive and ghost-like, but I can sense it through the vibrations in the air."

"This time I won't be fooled again by your little tricks. From now on, you won't be able to touch me again."

Jotaro didn't reply, the shadow under his hat brim covered his face, making it impossible for others to see his expression at this moment.

"Also..." Muzan grinned mockingly and said, "How long can your body hold out? You've lost so much blood, suffered such severe injuries, your body must already be at its limit, right?"

"Pushing on will only be more painful. I can feel your whole body trembling."

Muzan shook his head. "Those who refuse to accept their fate often suffer the most. I've seen too many people like you. For you all, death is actually a kind of release."

Blood gushed from the corner of Jotaro's mouth, his tall figure also swayed a couple of times.

Just as Muzan said, he had long reached his limit.

Since he was a child, he didn't know how many fights he had been in, but none had ever been as difficult as this one.

His body was indeed trembling, but not because of fear, nor because of exhaustion, but because of anger.

Without a doubt, Muzan had thoroughly pissed him off.

Jotaro's body's reaction was seen by Muzan as a completely pathetic display.

Muzan chuckled twice, swaggering toward Jotaro.

It was time to put an end to this.

The closer he got to Jotaro, the less time he would have to react. Muzan knew this, but it seemed he was extremely confident in dodging Jotaro's attacks.

Also, this principle applied to Jotaro as well. To cut off his head securely, he also needed to get closer.

Star Platinum had always blocked his attacks, always allowing Jotaro to dodge fatal blows.

It was extremely annoying.

If there was enough time, Muzan didn't mind playing around with Jotaro a bit more. After all, the other party had also angered him. Brutally humiliating the opponent would let him regain some lost dignity.

But the pitch-black sky was becoming dim. Muzan knew there wasn't much time until dawn. So he had to end this quickly.

Compared to dignity, life was a little more important.

His arm was like a bone blade, and with a wave of his hand, a sharp afterimage slashed toward Jotaro's neck.

Star Platinum instantly emerged from Jotaro's body, left fist hitting the side of the bone blade, knocking it away. Then, the right fist struck toward Muzan.

"You think that kind of attack will still work?"

Muzan narrowed his eyes, watching his surroundings cautiously, in case Jotaro had any more tricks.

Feeling a vibration on the left, he immediately dodged left.

One punch missed, but Star Platinum didn't stop, immediately using the left fist to attack again.

"ORA ORA ORA!"

Another combo. As expected, Muzan dodged them all.

"Hmph! How many more times will you try. No matter how you attack, I can always dodge in advance, because you're too slow—"

Before he finished his sentence, Muzan felt a sharp pain on his left cheek, as if something had slashed across it.

"ORA ORA ORA!"

As Star Platinum kept punching, the pain on his face became more intense.

Muzan was terrified inside. 'Did my speed slow down? No!' He quickly denied that guess.

'It's Jotaro's speed that got faster!'

'Impossible! He was already at his last breath, how could he still unleash this kind of power?'

This speed was several times faster than before. It's like how in summer, lightning always comes before thunder.

In 1999, a scientist named Lene Hau's team managed to slow down light to 17 meters per second, but that was under special environmental conditions.

In a normal natural environment, the speed of sound can never exceed the speed of light. In the air, sound travels at about 1,235 km/h, while light travels at 300,000 km/s.

The difference is astronomical.

Previously, Jotaro's attacks were like thunder. The air vibrations were lightning, and Star Platinum's punches were thunder.

Thunder can never arrive before lightning, so Muzan could dodge based on the lightning.

But now, the thunder is faster.

This scene that defied all logic, how could Muzan not be shocked?

"ORA!"

Muzan sensed the air vibrating and prepared to dodge,

but Star Platinum's punch had already slammed into his face.

Star Platinum's punch had struck before the air even vibrated.

'What an astonishing speed!'

"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!"

Star Platinum's fists came down like a storm, covering the skies and earth, engulfing Muzan's body.

In just an instant, his entire body was covered in fist marks the size of sandbags, and a flood of blood burst out from his veins.

It was so fast, it felt like time had stopped. But Star Platinum's fists seemed to have a suction force.

Muzan couldn't break free at all.

His bone blade and blood whip, just as they moved, they were torn apart by Star Platinum's earth-shattering power.

"Damn it!!!!"

Muzan's entire body was grotesque and ferocious. He had a premonition, Jotaro's attacks would absolutely not stop before dawn. He was going to beat him until the sun came up.
