Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: Muzan Enraged by Jotaro’s Sharp Tongue

Muzan had mentally prepared himself and was just about to turn and leave when Jotaro suddenly pointed a finger at Muzan's face and said, "Why aren't you attacking?"

"Are you really sick or something? Just looking at your face, you don't seem like someone who's going to live long."

Muzan's steps halted, and he suddenly turned his head, his entire face appearing twisted.

"What did you say!"

A terrifying and overwhelming murderous aura swept toward Jotaro.

Faced with the killing intent that filled the skies and earth, Jotaro's body instead relaxed slightly. An enraged opponent is always easier to deal with than a calm one.

Previously, Kie had once angered Muzan, and back then, Jotaro had clearly seen the change in his expression. Rather than passively waiting here, it was better to take the initiative.

Muzan hated it when others mentioned the look on his face, so Jotaro used that to provoke him. Unexpectedly, Muzan really did fly into a rage and lost his composure.

With a blank expression, Jotaro said, "Didn't you hear clearly? Looks like your illness is pretty serious, you can't even hear properly."

He slightly tilted his face up, and with his deep eyes, looked at Muzan with contempt, as if he had seen right through him.

He reached into his pocket, pulled out a stack of bills, and suddenly flung them in Muzan's direction.

The bills scattered like flying snowflakes, followed by Jotaro's cold voice, "Take this money and buy yourself a better coffin."

Boom!

The corridor at the entrance of the Kamado household exploded instantly, shattering into countless pieces. The snow on the side was also blasted up like smoke and dust under the tremendous impact.

A cornered dog jumps over the wall; even a rabbit will bite when pushed.

Jotaro's venomous words and contemptuous expression pierced even Muzan's soul.

Like a mad dog, Muzan charged toward Jotaro without caring for anything else.

'No no no no! I am a being infinitely close to perfection!'

"I'll kill you! Kill you!"

Muzan's speed was extremely fast. Even Tanjiro and the others couldn't see his afterimage, only sensing a storm a hundred times fiercer than outside sweeping toward them.

Jotaro's face was tense, feeling the sting on his skin. He didn't act rashly but waited. Waited for a chance to end the opponent in a single strike.

Muzan rapidly approached in his eyes, and he finally shouted in a deep voice, "Star Platinum!"

The strong blue-purple figure of Star Platinum appeared instantly in front of Jotaro. He didn't block Muzan's attack, instead, he charged his power and punched directly toward Muzan's brain.

Jotaro was an incredibly smart and calm person. He knew that attacking too much would eventually expose his Stand. Once the opponent noticed Star Platinum's range limitations, he'd be at a complete disadvantage.

So he wanted to end the battle in an instant, using the most powerful strike to crush the opponent.

Even if he had to get injured for it, he would not hesitate.

Faced with Muzan's overwhelming blow, he didn't choose to defend but used his own strength to dodge, at the same time, Star Platinum delivered a heavy blow to Muzan.

With a world-shaking punch, he smashed directly into Muzan's brain.

Crack!

In an instant, countless cracks appeared on Muzan's skull, and immediately after, the entire skull shattered.

Star Platinum followed through completely with the punch. Under this earth-shattering force, Muzan's brain instantly turned into countless chunks of meat.

Blood poured like a torrential rain, splattering all over the floor and drenching everyone's clothes in red. Yet Star Platinum's attack hadn't stopped.

Jotaro, holding his left side, gritted his teeth and shouted, "Star Platinum!"

After destroying Muzan's brain, Star Platinum followed up by swinging both fists, shattering all the bones throughout Muzan's body.

The final punch struck heavily at Muzan's heart, destroying it.

"Ora!"

The human body has two extremely vital organs, one is the brain, the other is the heart. Even a vampire like Dio needs to expend massive time and effort to recover if these two organs are destroyed.

In the scene he once saw, after destroying Dio's brain, Dio was left unable to care for himself.

Even a top-tier vampire like Dio would be affected, he figured the demons in this world would also need a long time to recover after losing their brain.

"Yare yare…"

Jotaro's body swayed, then suddenly dropped to the ground, one hand supporting himself.

"Jotaro-san!"

Tanjiro, Nezuko, and Kie all noticed something was wrong, turns out, what had dyed them red wasn't just Muzan's blood but also Jotaro's.

The children were so scared they burst into tears and screams. The noise irritated him somewhat, but at this moment, he didn't scold them.

The crisis was temporarily over, and his strained nerves could finally relax a little.

"Jo…ta…ro-san…"

Nezuko, her voice trembling, leaned her head out from Jotaro's side. Her slightly red eyes brimmed with mist. Bean-sized tears rolled down her cheeks.

She had never seen such a horrifying injury. Jotaro's left side was a bloody mess. A massive amount of blood gushed from his wound. The wound was so deep it seemed one could see the white bone inside the flesh.

Tanjiro hurriedly said, "Jotaro-san, I'll go get some bandages and medical supplies."

"Stop!" Jotaro shouted. "From now until dawn, don't leave my side."

"But—"

"Don't argue with me! This kind of wound, Star Platinum can handle it just fine."

Tanjiro still wanted to argue, but was immediately interrupted by Jotaro.

Jotaro turned to Kie and said, "Ma'am, you should be carrying some needles and thread, right? Hand them to me."

Even if she was usually slow to react, Kie had long realized something was wrong.

The battle had happened in an instant, and ended just as fast. Honestly, aside from Jotaro, no one present even knew what exactly had happened.

They only knew Jotaro had protected them, and was now severely injured.

The strong smell of blood made Kie's body tremble slightly. But upon hearing Jotaro's words, her eyes quickly sharpened, and she pulled out a sewing kit from her apron.

"Jotaro-san, do you need my help?"

She had mostly figured out what Jotaro was planning, so she proactively offered.

"No need," Jotaro said calmly. Star Platinum emerged behind him and took the needle and thread Kie handed over.

This scene left everyone wide-eyed.
