Chapter 564 The Young Lady Makes a Comeback

"Did Heian-kyo take a hit from a 'fake dog cannon'?"

Faced with such a major event, Director Zhu Ya naturally came to report to You immediately: since it involved two 'Dragon-level' experts, she dared not be careless in the slightest.

Furthermore, the Metropolitan Police Department also knows that Miss Kuku's power comes from the 'Orochi's Remains', and every time she dares to make such a leap, it is mostly because her strength has greatly increased: the fact that she was able to successfully blow up Heian-kyo this time already speaks volumes.

It was only because the great Onmyoji Abe no Seimei possessed extraordinary abilities that he could ignore such 'minor skirmishes'; if it were any other force, they probably wouldn't even know how they died.

"Ignore her,"

Upon hearing You's habitual reply, Director Zhuya's face showed a mixture of knowing and hesitation.

"Jiu Kong, that little girl, is extremely petty."

Yu gave a very serious 'analysis'.

"Her primary target remains Abe no Seimei."

"Next, they will mostly be figuring out how to conquer Heian-kyo; we just need to stand by and watch."

Knowing this perfectly well, Yu has already prepared a secret weapon in Heian-kyo, determined to show that little girl what extraordinary danger truly means!
"What you say is absolutely right, Mr. Yu."

Director Zhu Ya nodded, agreeing with this viewpoint.

Given Jiu Kong Yao Ai's petty and persistent nature, she wouldn't pay attention to anyone else until she had dealt with 'Abe no Seimei'.

Besides, with her strength, she could settle any grudges on the spot; the ones she truly couldn't beat were either in Heian-kyo or Tokyo, both places teeming with powerful individuals, and even Kyuu-kō wouldn't dare to act recklessly there.

It hasn't been long since I was utterly humiliated in Tokyo Bay!

"But if we just let her keep getting stronger, won't it end up being difficult to handle?"

What Director Takeya actually wanted to say was: Don't let the real Yamata no Orochi end up in a war in Japan. It's hard to say who will win or lose then, but Japan...
Based on the destruction caused by 'Ten' in the Pacific theater, the island nation would certainly no longer exist.

Those high-ranking 'gods' can probably grasp stars and the moon with ease.

This little broken ball is doomed sooner or later!
"Don't panic,"

You gave Director Zhuya a meaningful look.

"Isn't there Lord 'Six Paths'? I believe he will protect this planet."

“Yu-kun is right.”

With those words, Director Zhuya finally felt relieved.

Indeed, if this 'Six Paths' lord is willing to take action, even if the true form of Orochi were to descend, it would not be impossible to deal with it.

This is enough.

At this point, Jiu Kong Yao Ai was no longer in this 'world'.

“I remember you,”

In the Warring States period half-plane, the setting sun was as red as blood;

Sesshomaru, with two swords hanging at his waist, stood in front of the little girl wearing a long robe with a red background and black clouds.

"Nine Void Shaking Love".

One of the powerful beings in that 'main world'

He almost ruled the world, but was ultimately defeated by his 'Burst Fang'.

On the sea called 'Tokyo Bay', they fought a great battle against Susanoo, the 'incarnation of a god'; in the end, they were both beaten by the 'Inari God's' shrine maiden, demonstrating their formidable strength.

In their world, he would be the undisputed 'Demon King'!
"Stop."

With one hand resting on the hilt of his sword at his waist, Sesshomaru coldly warned his opponent.

"You're not welcome here."

"Huh huh huh~~"

However, given Jiu Kongyao's personality, how could she possibly stop?

"You think you can defeat me just because you won by luck once?"

The arrogant young lady spread her arms wide, appearing completely unprepared and unarmed, and proudly raised her chin.

"Come,"

"I'll show you what despair truly means."

?

Clang,

Sesshomaru drew his 'Bakusaiga' sword from his waist. He wasn't one to hesitate, and since the other party wouldn't listen to his warnings, he wouldn't hold back.

With a grayish-white light that seemed to shatter and disintegrate everything, the fang knife, possessing a hint of 'shared-killing ash bones', slashed towards Jiu Kong Yao Ai Lightning.

brush------

? !
The invincible longsword passed through Jiu Kong Yao Ai's body without causing the slightest ripple, as if the two did not exist in the same space-time.

An illusion? No, this guy's terrifying spiritual power, scent, and texture are all real!
After the slash, Sesshomaru deliberately flew away.

"how,"

"That's it?"

With a grin, Kyuuya reached out and pointed to another sword at Sesshomaru's waist.

"Should we try that weapon?"

"Try using that power of exile to see if you can defeat me~~"

"No need,"

Sesshomaru did not pull out the Tenseiga to unleash the Meido Zangetsuha, because Inuyasha had used this technique before and it was easily countered. Furthermore:

“I smell the scent of the underworld on you.”

"Oh?"

Jiu Kong Yao Ai tilted her head.

"To be able to smell this, what kind of extraordinary sense of smell is that?"

But it doesn't matter, anyway, this 'strongest person in the Warring States period' should already understand:
"You can't possibly hurt me, so just admit defeat! Hahahaha~~"

Jiu Kong Yao Ai is in a very comfortable and pleasant mood.

Because she's invincible!

This fifth piece of Orochi's bone was found in the Underworld, and its power is extremely strong! It allows Jiu Kong Yao Ai to travel freely between the human world and the Underworld! It can even make her body 'ethereal' and hide in the Underworld, so that all attacks in the mortal world will no longer be able to touch her.

What else could this be but invincibility?
This ability is called:

Divine power!

It certainly fits the image of an eternally invincible god.

The so-called 'Kamui' is naturally a 'knock-off' version created by someone: don't be fooled by its 'knock-off' nature, its power is no different from the original.

Kamui was originally a Mangekyou Sharingan technique created by Obito to 'escape reality'. It allows him to freely hide in the Kamui dimension, thus achieving an 'invincible' state; many powerful individuals have been helpless against this move.

What You granted Jiu Kongyao was the right to hide in the 'Yellow Springs'.

Furthermore, the 'Yomi Hirasaka' in the main world and the 'Netherworld' in the demi-plane are interconnected. In other words:
"Able to freely enter and exit demiplanes... Heh heh heh, what only that man could do, I've now easily accomplished. Indeed, I am the strongest—"

This is why she can freely enter and exit the 'demiplane'.

?

This child is hopeless.

Seeing Kuku talking excitedly to herself, Sesshomaru was speechless.

Such immense power, emanating from such a reckless little girl. The main world is truly wondrous.

She walked past Sesshomaru's Nine Void Shaking Love and headed towards a group of people in the distance.

"Nine Void Shaking Love?!"

Maitreya, sitting on the grass in the flower-scented courtyard, was taken aback.
How did this 'most wanted criminal in history' end up in this demiplane?
"Onmyoji, this little girl isn't from your area."

Coral was also taken aback. Even she remembered this being who could transform into an eight-headed, super-giant white snake and destroy a country with a single utterance.

"Lord Jiukong, may I ask what brings you here?"

Jiu Kong glanced at Maitreya, who had mustered up the courage to step forward, and her loving gaze swept over the crescent-shaped family crest on his body.

"A member of the Hanakain family?"

"Get out of the way, I'm not here to find a nobody like you." Out of respect for the principal, Kuko Yuai didn't make things difficult for the Onmyoji; her gaze passed over the two of them, and the cowering 'Wild Wolf' beside them; it landed on the sorrowful Kagome in front of her, and further away, on Inuyasha holding Kikyo.

"You lot are pretty strong, come and help me deal with that man!"

?

The three people, who were originally immersed in grief, all turned to look at them.

"It's you?"

"Miss Jiu Kong Yao Ai".

"I'm sorry, we can't help you with anything because—"

Compared to the hostility and surprise of Inuyasha and Kagome, Kikyo, lying in Inuyasha's arms, only had a weak smile left.

She is going to die.

Although she had actually died fifty years ago.

Resurrected this time, she vanquishes demons and saves humanity along the way; her clay body is riddled with holes, and her soul is on the verge of collapse.
"Hmph, with me around, you won't even be able to die!"

Jiu Kong Yao Ai raised her hand and aimed it at Kikyo in Inuyasha's arms, clenching her fist with her five fingers.

"Reincarnation from the dirty soil!"

A purple light fell on Kikyo out of nowhere.

Suddenly, Kikyo's injuries began to heal out of thin air, and even her soul stabilized.

"Platycodon grandiflorus?!"

“That’s great!”

The atmosphere of life and death was instantly swept away as Kikyo raised her hand: standing up from Inuyasha's arms, Kikyo was surprised to find that she had not only recovered completely, but was even stronger than before she was alive: the 'spiritual power' surging in her body was something that the priestess, who had been in a weak state since her resurrection, had never experienced.

"How could my inferior 'clay resurrection' possibly compare to my 'reincarnation'?"

Jiu Kong Yao Ai stretched out her finger and circled it around the room, passing over everyone present.

"All of you—"

"Everyone come and help me defeat Abe no Seimei!"

"This is an order, not a request."

After saying that, the arrogant young lady raised her finger, looking completely matter-of-fact.

"Dare to refuse, and we'll send you to the River of Three Crossings to reunite!"

Inuyasha, Kagome Higurashi, Miroku Keikain, Sango, and Sesshomaru who walked over all looked speechless.

Even the powerful beings of this demi-plane had heard of Jiu Kong Yao Ai's 'obsession'; but the problem now is: this young lady may be willful, but her strength is undeniable. Especially after mastering 'Divine Might'—

"If you're not convinced, I'll stand right here and let you attack me as you please."

"If you can even touch me, I'll admit defeat!"

"I'll give it a try,"

Since the other party had said so, Inuyasha didn't stand on ceremony and directly drew the 'Tessaiga' from his waist.

"First of all, I want to thank you for curing the bellflower."

"Then--"

"Watch out, the Blade of the Underworld!"

With a swing of the Tessaiga, countless slashes tearing through space flew out!
This is the ultimate form of the Netherworld Crescent Moon Breaker, where countless Netherworld Crescent Moons fly out, capable of severing everything within its range and sending it into the Netherworld.

Of course, the so-called 'tear space' is essentially just a kind of teleportation attached to 'Yellow Springs', not a real tear space: that is the power of the Bloodstained Net.

"Sigh, that young lady is really obsessed."

"Who says it's not?"

In another part of the Warring States demiplane, the priest of Inari and Morikawa Tomoyuki, the 'arquebusier general' of the Takeda clan, looked at each other and could only sigh.

Not only them, but also the slightly famous 'great demons' and 'warriors' of this demiplane are all here, and what forcibly gathered them together is:
"Hahaha~~~"

A tall, obese figure, draped in a red robe with black cloud patterns, spread his arms wide, his ten fingers adorned with jeweled rings.

"Anyone else want a challenge?"

"Come on, my mission is to beat you all and clear the way for the young lady."

On the ground in front of Teach lay the world's most famous strongmen: the four leopard cat siblings; if they weren't still needed as soldiers, the surging black mud on the ground wouldn't have been a powerful adhesive, but would have corroded them until they were nothing but bones.

"Who else?"

Faced with the towering 'Marshall Teach' with his arms outstretched, the many monster warriors remained silent.

Is this too strong?

The white steam from the high temperature on his hands and the corrosive black mud were enough to make even the most powerful samurai and monsters, who were not even at the demon level, helpless.

Not to mention, Teach also possesses the defensive magic artifact 'Vajra Prayer Beads' and the overpowered trump card 'Water Mirror Technique'.

"Ok?"

A dark dot appeared out of nowhere next to me.
Then it diffuses and expands, forming a rotating hybrid space.

“Young Miss, I have gathered all the fighting forces in this world.”

As Teach bowed in greeting, Kukoya walked out from inside; behind her were Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, Kikyo, Kagome, and others.

"Even a noble young master from the Western Kingdom."

"Isn't that the little girl from before—?"

Upon seeing Jiukong Yaoai, many demons and samurai were stunned. Wasn't this the 'otherworldly powerhouse' who had been defeated by Sesshomaru?

They're making a comeback again!
It seems they are destined to fight a battle with that mage from another world named 'Abe no Seimei'.

However, these monsters and warriors, whether they were silently gazing at the sky, eager to try, clueless, or uneasy, did not know that they were actually just 'cannon fodder'.

Jiu Kong Yao Ai was used as cannon fodder to test Abe no Seimei's strength!

Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture.

One by one, figures emerged from 'Yomihirasaka', including fully armored samurai and strangely shaped monsters.

After emerging, I first closed my eyes to sense the 'spiritual energy' in the air. After marveling at the clarity of the spiritual energy in this world, I was then guided by a person wearing a black robe with red clouds to the hotel to rest.

This place has been taken over by Jiu Kong Yao Ai:
Given the combined strength of the dragon and the demon, unless the island nation mobilizes all its extraordinary forces, they will have no choice but to back down.

Don't forget, Jiu Kong Yao Ai actually has a considerable number of 'subordinates'.

After all, she possessed the 'cursed seal,' allowing her to secretly control a person's life and death.
In addition, since the cursed seal can provide extraordinary power, many people reluctantly and willingly joined her ranks.

Now, these subordinates, responding to their 'mistress's' orders, have come from their various hiding places to entertain Jiu Kongyao'ai with these experts 'recruited' from the demiplane, and to bring her the latest news from the extraordinary world.

"Oh?"

Holding the video files compiled by his subordinates, Jiu Kong, sitting on the throne, swipes his finger across them.

"So many major things have happened while I was away?"

The island nation's false god created the 'Heaven' and fought a great battle with America's 'Father in the Sea' in the Pacific Ocean; it almost destroyed the entire Pacific ecosystem, if it weren't for the intervention of the mysterious 'Six Paths' in the end.

"Interesting, but even the sun's rays can't kill me."

Having the ability to appear and disappear at any time in the mortal world and the underworld, Jiu Kong believed he was already invincible.
"Um?!"

The finger that was swiping across the screen paused.
The message stopped at the information that 'Kawa and Mai' had been defeated.

Those who gathered this intelligence were all subordinates secretly developed by Kyuu Sora, and naturally they wouldn't give the island government any face: a very objective guess is that Kawa and Mai are either dead or in a very unfavorable situation.

“Teach,”

Putting down the intelligence in her hand, Jiu Kong Yao Ai stood up.

"I'm going out for a bit. Keep an eye on this place."

"Yes, Miss."

The obese man standing behind the throne bowed.

P.S.: Happy Lantern Festival! By the way, I've been summoned back to my hometown in the countryside, so there will only be one update today (sorry~~).
