"really."

Ian also dismounted.

"Madam, let's proceed on foot from here on out."

"Ah."

Ian and Minamoto no Yorimitsu move forward together, supporting each other.

They were cautious and careful—after all, their opponent was a monster that could control even Mount Ooe at will.

"Speaking of which-"

"Mount Ooe is so treacherous, will Tsuna and the others run into trouble?"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu asked with some concern.

"Madam, just trust them. After all, they studied Yin-Yang arts with me for three years."

"and--"

Ian looked around at everything.

"Don't you think Shuten-dōji's attention is entirely on us?"

"Well, that's true."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu nodded, then gripped the sword in his hand tightly.

"For example, those vines in front, weren't they arranged by her too?"

Just as Minamoto no Yorimitsu said.

The two had just escaped the shifting earth when they were immediately met with an attack of vines.

"You're really underestimating me."

"Does this thing think it can stop my husband and me?!"

With that, Minamoto no Yorimitsu gripped his knee-shaped weapon tightly and began to parry the vines in front of him.

As Ian's true eldest disciple, she knew that when fighting demons, it was necessary to eliminate them completely.

and so--

The moment the sword blade touched the vines, a light flashed in Minamoto no Yorimitsu's purple pupils.

Immediately afterwards, lightning crackled from the blade of Hizamaru's sword.

Just for that one moment.

The lightning traveled along the vines.

This is a silent thunderclap, yet it possesses enough power.

Flash of light;

Withered vines;

The vines that had been aggressively attacking the two of them turned into black, withered ash in an instant and fell to the ground.

Ian was somewhat surprised.

After all, he had never seen Minamoto no Yorimitsu use such power before.

"Madam, when did you learn swordsmanship?"

"I don't know either."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu looked at the knee-shaped pill in his hand.

"At first, it could only release some small bolts of lightning."

"Once you get used to it, it will become like this."

"this--"

Ian smiled.

"It seems that in addition to constantly cultivating her roles as 'wife' and 'mother,' Madam has not neglected her swordsmanship either."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu's face flushed slightly, and his gaze toward Ian was filled with tenderness.

"Has my husband not forgotten his duty to slay demons?"

"now--"

"Husband, don't you think Shuten-dōji is setting up something according to the Five Elements?"

Ultimately, he was your true eldest disciple; Minamoto no Yorimitsu's considerations regarding exorcising demons were always very similar to yours.

The initial mist was water.

The flowing ground is soil.

The attacking vines are made of wood.

[You realize that Shuten-dōji is still provoking you—she's using the five elements of Yin-Yang magic to "test" you in reverse.]

"What a vile devil."

Ian, realizing this, offered this assessment.

"It's ok."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu gripped the knee pill tightly in his hand.

"As long as my husband is with me, it's meaningless for Shuten-dōji to play any tricks he wants."

"Because we will definitely solve it!"

"Hmm... Madam, you're right."

[You and Minamoto no Yorimitsu continue your journey deeper into Mount Ōe.]

Just as you guessed, Shuten-dōji is indeed "testing" you according to the Five Elements of Yin and Yang.

What you will face next is a barrage of unclaimed arrows falling from the sky.

This is the manifestation of 'gold'.

But as Minamoto no Yorimitsu said...

As long as you're together, there's no problem that can't be solved.

[The couple with unusual talents + has been replaced with Two Hearts United +: When you and Minamoto no Yorimitsu are around each other, you can provide each other with a continuous source of power.]

Swords clashed, arrows snapped.

You feel that something subtle is at work here.

But you also know that this isn't the time to be thinking about these issues.

The task at hand is to find Shuten-dōji, who dared to provoke you.

only--

Ian and Minamoto no Yorimitsu walked for a long time on the road to Mount Oe, but they were unable to encounter the final "test" of the Five Elements.

This is not a difficult trap to set.

After all, compared to the other four elements, fire is definitely something that is relatively easy to use.

Ian didn't think Shuten-dōji would forget it.

After all, if she could even come up with the Five Elements "test", it's impossible that she would leave out any of them.

We need to be careful.

She's definitely plotting something.

But after searching cautiously for a while, the two did not encounter any difficulties.

Instead, they emerged from the dark forest.

But something unexpected was about to happen.

At the end of the mountain path, on a giant tree, Shuten-dōji sat on a thick branch, holding a sake bowl.

Slightly tipsy, she looked at the two people under the tree, burped, and then said:

"what the hell."

"There was nothing behind it, and it took so long to get out."

The banquet is over.

"But it's okay—"

Shuten-dōji drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp.

“We know you’re probably still wondering what this ‘fire’ test is.”

“We’re so kind—we’ll reveal the answer to you now.”

After saying this, Shuten-dōji disappeared from the tree.

next moment.

She appeared out of thin air in front of Ian.

"We are the final test of 'fire'."

There was a bang.

Flames erupted from Shuten-dōji's lips before Minamoto no Yorimitsu.

A crimson expanse enveloped her and Ian!

126. The True Name of the Great Onmyoji (End of Volume 3)

Crimson flames burned on the bodies of Shuten-dōji and Ian.

The human and the ghost were swallowed up by the intense heat, their figures becoming unrecognizable.

Because it happened so suddenly, it took Minamoto no Yorimitsu a while to realize what was happening in front of him.
