Luo Ya now understood what regeneration meant.
After a brief silence, Roya tidied himself up a bit, tore a few holes in his clothes, and rushed towards the priest's location, looking extremely disheveled.
Stumbling and wearing tattered clothes, he looked every bit like a young swordsman who had just been wounded in a great battle.
Perfectly matches the character!
Seeing Roya's somewhat disheveled appearance, the priest frowned subconsciously and coldly rebuked, "Halt! Demon Slayer Corps swordsman? What's going on?"
He then waved to the thirty soldiers behind him, and in an instant, all thirty soldiers raised their dark gun barrels.
Luo Ya lowered her head and avoided looking at the other person. With Luo Ya's current appearance, she was quite recognizable.
Although Roa didn't look at the other person, the other person frowned slightly, then seemed to remember something and suddenly asked, "Roa, the Naruto?"
While Roya was still pondering how to respond, the other party had already revealed his identity, which made Roya feel slightly embarrassed.
Roya coughed lightly a few times and nodded. The priest's eyes lit up. He patted Roya on the shoulder and asked, "Is Muzan Kibutsuji dead? Now that you've come out, Muzan Kibutsuji must be dead."
Luo Ya thought for a moment, nodded, and said to the priest, "Muzan Kibutsuji is dead. I killed him, but I am also seriously injured. I need help. Please take me to the hospital quickly."
The priest's smile grew even brighter, his entire face radiating a gentle smile. But the moment Roya saw the priest's smile, he sensed that the priest was up to no good.
Luo Ya still has the ability to see through the world, and is particularly sensitive to the kindness and malice of others.
Luo Ya could sense that the other party was radiating an extremely strong malice.
The priest spoke slowly and calmly, "No need to rush, I'll send you on your way now."
Just as the priest's hand was about to fall, a crimson blade was already pressed against the other's throat.
Luo Ya looked up, revealing his extremely handsome face.
Roya looked the priest up and down strangely and said, "Hmm, do you really want to kill me?"
The priest, with a knife pressed against his throat, paused for a moment, then his expression turned grim. He said coldly, "Roya, do you want to see what you're doing? I kindly sent you on your way, and you put a knife to my neck. Indeed, people like you who have power but no sense of hierarchy should not exist in this world. You are more terrifying than ghosts."
Luo Ya was stunned by what the other person said and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Should we say that the Japanese are indeed the Japanese?
They're shameless to the extreme; they can even bite back.
Seeing that Roya didn't speak, the priest became even more arrogant. He said, "Boy, let go of me now. Do you want to drag the entire Demon Slayer Corps down with you for your mistakes?"
Without a word, Roya reached out and twisted the priest's arm without any expression. The priest let out a wail as the pain of the dislocated arm shot straight to his head. The priest's face instantly turned extremely ferocious, and his mouth twitched from the pain.
Roya reached out and patted the priest's cheek, asking with some curiosity, "Do you think I'm a fool? You're radiating malice. Oh, by the way, I'm not as easy to talk to as those people."
The priest looked humiliated and glared at Roya with a sinister gaze. Roya was now speechless.
The knife pressed even tighter against the other person's neck.
Luo Ya could sense the other party's stubbornness and refusal to give up, so he didn't waste any words and simply said, "Guess whether I dare to kill you."
The priest was about to retort with some harsh words when he looked up and was met with Roya's extremely cold golden eyes.
The Nichirin Blade in his hand sliced through the skin of his throat, and the scorching heat from the blade spread.
The priest swallowed hard, said nothing more, and waved to the crowd, saying, "Put down your weapons and let the Naruto leave."
Without wasting any more words, Roya took the other person hostage and headed towards the group of Demon Slayers.
And so, one man and one army held each other hostage.
Roya, expressionless, found Ubuyashiki Kagaya, who looked completely bewildered. Roya asked Ubuyashiki Kagaya, "Ubuyashiki Kagaya, do you know what's going on?"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki's wife, Amane Ubuyashiki, was slightly taken aback when she saw the priest with a knife to his neck. Then she looked at the group of soldiers behind her, and as if she had thought of something, her face turned extremely pale.
As her daughter, she knew her father's personality all too well. Ubuyashiki Amane looked at the priest with a cold expression.
At this moment, the priest's eyes lit up when he saw Ubuyashiki Amane. He hurriedly said, "Amane, it's me, your father. Look what this brat has done! This guy actually held a knife to my neck! I work for the government! Isn't this forcing you to oppose the government? Sigh, let me go quickly. Let's just let this go. If this gets out of hand, neither of us will be able to handle it."
Ubuyashiki Amane didn't speak, but coldly looked at the soldiers holding weapons behind Roya, and sneered, "So well-equipped? They must have been prepared a long time ago."
The priest feigned a blank expression, hurriedly waved his hand, and said to Ubuyashiki Amane, "Daughter, what are you saying? Shouldn't you be standing firmly behind me at this time? I am your father."
Kagaya Ubuyashiki also realized what had happened, a bitter smile on his face. He bowed deeply to Roya and said directly, "I'm sorry, I did something stupid. I thought that if I told the priest about this, he could help us, and even if we couldn't defeat Muzan in the end, we wouldn't end up in a terrible defeat. I'm sorry."
At that moment, the Pillars also emerged from the Infinite Castle.
Tanjiro Kamado, who was walking at the front, was slightly bewildered by the grand procession. He glanced at Roya, who was standing to the side wielding a knife, and then at the dense array of gun barrels behind Roya, and swallowed hard.
The Demon Slayer arc should be finished tomorrow.

Chapter 147 Aftermath
Modern Japanese firearms are not as advanced as they were in the past, but even so, any firearm can still pose a threat to people.
Without saying much, Tanjiro Kamado ran straight to Roya's side and asked curiously, "Brother Roya, what's going on?"
Roya patted the priest's forehead and said, "This guy wants to wipe you all out in one go."
The priest retorted angrily, "Don't talk nonsense! When did I ever want to do that?"
Luo Ya, expressionless, pointed to the mortar in the middle, positioned the other man's head against the heavy machine gun in the center, and asked curiously, "So what are you planning to do with this? Help us?"
The priest's lips twitched as he looked at the heavy machine gun in front of him, swallowing hard.
He wanted to say that this was actually meant to help you, but the gazes of the surrounding pillars gradually turned unfriendly. In the end, he sighed and said, "Children, I'm doing this all for your own good."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
The priest cleared his throat and reached out his right hand to remove the crimson blade that Roya was pressing down on him, but Roya not only did not remove the crimson blade, but tightened his grip even more.
The priest was then forced to say, "I have no choice. Think about it, children. There are no more demons in this world. Your mission is over. Where can you go? Stay with the Demon Slayer Corps? But the Demon King is dead, and the demons have disappeared from this world. What can you do there? This is a new era. I'm doing this for your own good."
The priest became increasingly agitated, his beard trembling. Roya twitched slightly, slapped him again, and said speechlessly, "Kid, what does this have to do with you bringing a gun?"
The slap didn't hurt, but it was extremely humiliating. With so many people watching, even a priest with a thick skin couldn't help but blush.
He glared at Roya, but Roya simply raised his right hand. The priest instinctively shrank back, but still forced himself to say, "I was just worried you might need reinforcements."
Luo Ya pointed to the heavy machine gun and said, "Do you think this kind of thing would be useful to the Ghost King?"
The priest was speechless. As a priest, how could he not know that this thing was completely incapable of causing him any harm?
As a priest, he began to earnestly persuade them: "Think about it, aren't you causing a lot of harm to society? You're always wandering around here with your swords and guns, which is a serious disturbance of public order. How about this, you all put down your weapons, come with us, and accept our control. The Demon Slayer Corps will be disbanded, and we won't need the Demon Slayer Corps anymore."
Upon hearing this, Shinazugawa Sanemi was furious. He rushed forward and roared at the priest, "What do you take us for? Demons? Why should I be subject to your supervision?"
As soon as Shinazugawa Sanemi spoke, all the Hashira looked at the priest in silence. Shinazugawa Sanemi pointed to the exhausted crowd behind him and said, "When the demons were eating people, your government didn't say a word. It was all our Demon Slayer Corps who risked their lives one by one to save them. And now you're telling me this?"
The priest opened his mouth, a helpless expression on his face, and said to the crowd, "This is an order from above, and I have no choice but to accept it."
Luo Ya looked at the bewildered and confused crowd around him, paused for a moment, and said, "What you're doing is no longer negotiation, but coercion. Faced with coercion, only power can teach you how to be human."
Without wasting any words, he released the priest's left hand and threw him to the ground.
Roya smiled at the priest and said, "Are you planning to threaten us with weapons? If we don't agree, are you going to just kill us on the spot?"
The priest didn't speak, but his expression alone was enough to tell the whole story.
That is indeed their plan.
Roya sneered and said to the priest, "Let them open fire and see if they can hurt me in the slightest."
The priest simply looked at Roya, lost in thought.
The priest wanted to tell Roya, "If you just take the knife off your neck, see if he'll let the other guy fire."
Roya leaned close to the priest's ear and whispered, "How about I kill you all? I have quite a few people on my side. You must have seen our battle with the demons; our losses weren't that great."
The priest's face turned solemn, and his expression became extremely interesting.
His original plan was to take advantage of everyone's fatigue and unpreparedness to launch a surprise attack and annihilate them in one fell swoop. After all, in his opinion, the battle with Muzan Kibutsuji could not be so easy, and a few people would have to die. But now it seems that he, like the Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji, underestimated the strength of the Demon Slayer Corps and also underestimated the strength of Roa.
Although everyone looked exhausted, it was only exhaustion; after a period of rest, they would be back to normal.
Moreover, dealing with so many people at once is indeed an extremely troublesome matter.
The priest looked at Roya with a grim expression, remained silent for a long time, and finally nodded, saying, "Alright, but the Demon Slayer Corps' organizational structure definitely cannot be preserved. Even if it is, you certainly won't be given as much power anymore. Your Nichirin Blades will all become controlled items and need to be handed over. As for you yourselves, you won't be subject to any control, but on the condition that you don't commit any crimes or break the law, and that the current situation doesn't repeat itself."
After saying this, the priest snorted coldly and prepared to get up and walk away.
Luo Ya twitched the corner of his mouth and suddenly said, "Don't be in such a hurry to leave."
Roya pointed to one of the soldiers and said to him, "Fire."
The man paused for a moment, a look of confusion on his face.
Roya spoke again: "Shoot me!"
The man looked at his old-fashioned pistol and fell into deep thought.
Handguns have never been very powerful, especially weapons from this era.
The priest turned around and looked coldly at Roya, saying, "Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish. Everyone heard it; it was his own request."
After saying that, he winked at the soldier, who nodded and said, "Yoshi."
