Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 409 The Otherworldly Sword that Resurrects the Dead - Tenseiga, Jeanne d'Arc's Complete Overpowerment of Sesshomaru
Sesshomaru's body collided violently with this solidified torrent of holy light energy!
"boom!"

Instead of the expected sensation of tearing the target apart, an indescribable, overwhelming force crashed into me!

This force is not sharp, but it is as heavy as an entire mountain collapsing and moving, carrying an undeniable sense of rejection and purification!
Sesshomaru's golden pupils suddenly contracted, and his forward momentum was abruptly stopped by this "wave" made of pure energy. It was as if he had crashed into an invisible but highly elastic giant wall, and the huge reaction force mercilessly sent him flying backward!

His silver hair flew as he deftly flipped his body in the air, his toes lightly touching the ground to dissipate most of the force, before he landed gracefully back in place, his posture still composed.

But when he looked at his slightly trembling arm, genuine astonishment appeared in his eyes for the first time.

This near-overwhelming gap in pure energy level was an experience he had rarely encountered in his long life.

His attack was so easily and completely repelled by the opponent with such absolute power? She couldn't even move an inch?
However, that surprise lasted only a moment before quickly turning into a burning emotion.

A clear interest and fighting spirit ignited in Sesshomaru's golden eyes, which had been frozen for millennia.

It wasn't anger, but rather a strong curiosity and desire for challenge that arose when one encountered a worthy opponent or an unprecedented force.

This human woman is very strong.

It's so strong it defies logic, so strong it's interesting.

"interesting."

He muttered to himself, his voice still cool, but with a hint of barely perceptible excitement.

The next moment, he stopped his pointless straight-line assault.

With a flicker of his figure, he seemed to transform into several silver-white afterimages, launching simultaneous attacks on Joan of Arc from different angles with various tricky and unpredictable trajectories!
Faster speed, more aggressive angles!
The demonic power was no longer unleashed recklessly, but was highly concentrated at the fingertips. Each claw strike tore through the air, bringing out a shrill shriek, and accurately attacked Jeanne's vitals and gaps in her defense!
Joan of Arc simply watched calmly, the flag spear in her hand seemingly becoming one with her, transforming into her body's instinct. The spear tip emitted a holy light, like a serpent emerging from its hole, striking Sesshomaru's wrist or claws with extreme precision, shattering the condensed demonic power in advance.

He swept the gun barrel horizontally, deflecting the deadly sneak attack from the side, and his energy erupted, purifying all the approaching demonic afterimages.

Her steps were steady and efficient, always moving within the smallest possible range. Every dodge was perfectly timed, and every block was exquisitely executed.

That's not just an advantage in strength, but a combination of honed combat skills and the predictive power brought by "revelation"!
Sesshomaru swung his right arm swiftly, his five fingers forming claws. The eerie green demonic power of the Poisonous Flower Claw was highly condensed and compressed into five incomparably sharp, solidified emerald green poisonous claws!
Wherever the venomous claws passed, the air seemed to be cut and corroded, leaving a faint green trail and a sizzling sound.

Joan of Arc's eyes narrowed, and instead of retreating, she stepped forward, taking a small half-step.

She held the flagpole in both hands, and the shaft was instantly enveloped in blazing holy light, like a burning pillar of light; she spun and danced the flagpole in front of her with swiftness and precision!

"Buzz!"

The spinning flag spear brought forth a dazzling halo of light, like a sacred shield that unfolded in an instant! The five incomparably sharp Poisonous Claw Light Blades crashed into the halo of light one after another!
"Puff puff!"

A series of muffled thuds resounded! The emerald green venomous claws collided with the light wheel, like ice spikes thrown into a furnace. The tips instantly shattered and melted, forcibly crushed and purified by the highly concentrated rotating holy light!
The scattered demonic power was completely dispelled, failing to penetrate even a fraction!
The instant the light blade was shattered, Joan of Arc's spinning flagpole did not pause at all. Instead, she used the momentum to change her move. The light wheel that was originally used for defense suddenly stopped spinning, and the huge centrifugal force was converted into the kinetic energy of her charge!

"drink!"

With a sharp shout, she exerted force in her waist, her entire body becoming one with the flag and spear, transforming into a blazing white meteor, and launched a counterattack against Sesshomaru, who had just neutralized the demonic energy impact and was preparing to launch his third attack!

With the spear tip pointing forward, holy light was highly concentrated, tearing through the air and emitting a roar like a dragon's cry!

This thrust was swift, precise, and ruthless! Without the slightest unnecessary movement, it perfectly combined power and speed, aiming straight for Sesshomaru's chest!
Sesshomaru's golden eyes narrowed, and without hesitation, he abandoned his attack, crossed his arms in front of him, and his surging demonic power instantly condensed into a defense!
"boom!!!"

The tip of the Holy Lance slammed into the demonic energy shield! A deafening roar erupted!

The stalemate lasted only a moment!
The light shield that Sesshomaru had conjured shattered under the strain, and spiderweb-like cracks instantly covered its surface!
The terrifying force from the tip of the spear propelled him backward, sending his feet off the ground!

But Joan of Arc's offensive did not stop at this moment.

She gave Sesshomaru no chance to catch his breath, her feet moving in rapid succession as she pursued him relentlessly! The flag spear in her hand seemed to come alive, displaying exquisite spear techniques!
The spear tip, like a venomous dragon emerging from its cave, suddenly slashed upwards, precisely aiming at Sesshomaru's parrying arm joint, forcing him to hastily change his move!
The spear shaft swept horizontally with immense force, like a battle axe slashing down on the waist. Holy light roared, forcing Sesshomaru to gather his demonic power again to withstand the attack, causing his blood and qi to surge once more!

Immediately afterwards, Joan of Arc gripped the spear with both hands and slammed it down with the force of a mountain crashing down! Holy light condensed on the shaft of the spear, as if it had transformed into a giant hammer of light!

Sesshomaru gritted his teeth and raised his demonic power to its peak, crossing his arms and bracing himself upwards!
"clang!!!"

Another tooth-grinding bang!

The ground beneath Sesshomaru's feet collapsed with a deafening roar, burying him from the knees down! The immense force caused excruciating pain in his arms, and his demonic power momentarily dissipated!

He tried to retaliate, gathering demonic power in his left claw and grabbing at Joan of Arc's spear-wielding arm!
But Joan of Arc seemed to have anticipated this. With a flick and twist of her wrist, the gun barrel, like a serpent, skillfully cut into the inside of his arm and then, with a clever force, snapped upwards!
"Snap!" Sesshomaru felt a numbness in his arm, and the demonic power he had gathered was instantly shattered. His attack came to an abrupt halt, and his chest was wide open!

Joan of Arc's spear tip, like a leech, was already poised to strike his chest!
Sesshomaru's pupils contracted sharply, and he leaned back with all his might, simultaneously pushing off the ground with his toes, narrowly avoiding a fatal blow to his heart!
"Hey!"

The tip of the Holy Lance grazed his chest, tearing a long gash in his white robe and leaving a scorching, wispy mark on his skin beneath.
The burning pain from that holy light far surpassed that of ordinary injuries!

Sesshomaru used the momentum to roll backward quickly, creating distance, and knelt on the ground, slightly panting.

He glanced down at the scorch marks on his chest, then looked up at Joan of Arc, who stood before him, gun in hand, bathed in holy light. His golden eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

Complete suppression!

From strength to speed, from technique to timing, he was completely suppressed!
This human woman was far more powerful than he had previously anticipated.

Joan of Arc did not pursue them.

She stood holding a gun, the flag pointing diagonally at the ground. The holy light flowing around her slightly subsided, but her majestic aura remained undiminished.

She looked at the silver-haired demon, who appeared slightly disheveled but still maintained his haughty demeanor, her gaze calm yet filled with undeniable confidence.

"Now you should understand the gap between us."

"Leave here, this is the final warning; otherwise, I will not hold back in the next strike."

Joan of Arc's voice was clear and steady, her tone resolute.

She did not make this decision out of the Virgin Mary.

The other party's previous actions seemed more like a natural disregard for the weak based on different worldviews, rather than malicious harm motivated by deep-seated hatred or pleasure.

Furthermore, thanks to her timely intervention, her subordinates did not actually die.

Furthermore, since the other party is indeed from another world and lacks understanding of the local order and rules, it might not be a bad thing if its powerful force can be guided rather than destroyed.

She didn't necessarily have to risk her life at this moment, provided he was willing to withdraw and promise not to attack the people of Gaul without cause in the future.

Of course, the most fundamental reason is that Jeanne d'Arc's keen intuition failed to detect any malice towards the human race in Sesshomaru.

If he had shown hostility that was driven by a desire to slaughter humans, Joan of Arc would never have allowed such an extremely dangerous being to leave, even if he had not yet caused any substantial consequences.

However, at that moment, one of Joan of Arc's subordinates hurried over from the rear camp, cautiously stopping slightly behind Joan of Arc, and reported in a low voice:

“General Joan of Arc, some of us have already recognized the other party’s identity and confirmed their information.”

Jeanne d'Arc's gaze remained fixed on Sesshomaru, and she slightly tilted her head to indicate that she was listening.

The subordinate continued:

"That is Sesshomaru, a powerful demon from the world of 'Inuyasha'."

"He is the older brother of the protagonist Inuyasha, his father is Toga, and his mother is a dog demon of noble lineage."

"Although he is arrogant and power-hungry, he is not a demon who enjoys killing."

"He values ​​commitment, and his behavior follows a set of rules; perhaps we don't necessarily have to drive him away."

"Sesshomaru has great power and potential, and he may reach the fifth rank in the real world. Furthermore, the sword he carries is extremely special and has the potential to bring the dead back to life."

"While it may not work in reality, it is also impossible to determine whether it is truly ineffective."

"Even disregarding the Tenseiga, such formidable combat power, if we could reach some kind of agreement or contract with it, similar to how the Eastern Great Xia integrated certain dimensional life forms, making it an ally of Gaul or at least a neutral entity."

"For us, the benefits may far outweigh the need to force them into becoming adversaries or enemies."
