The Twelve Trials Starting from Zero

Thinking this through, she finally asked, "What do you want to know?"

Su Qi smiled, "I don't need much, just tell me Naraku's location."

“Go west from here, and cross three more cities…” Kagura finished explaining the location, stared intently at Su Qi, and said in a deep voice, “I have told you what you wanted to know. Now, can you let me leave?”

"Of course, but have you thought about how to deal with Naraku?"

"I understand, you don't need to worry about that."

"So……"

Su Qi stopped speaking halfway through his sentence and turned around to see several of the fiercest beasts flying towards him.

The next moment, my heart began to pound inexplicably, as if something terrible was about to happen.

"Huh? How could this be!?"

Inside the house shrouded by a barrier, Kagome, who had just finished bandaging Inuyasha's wounds, suddenly changed her expression and stood up to look outside.

"What's wrong, Kagome?"

"The Shikon Jewel fragments on Kenshin's body... suddenly turned black."

Upon hearing this, Kikyo, who was concentrating on maintaining the barrier, frowned and immediately looked outside. She discovered that the Shikon Jewel fragment on Su Qi's body was indeed undergoing a change, and the light it emitted was rapidly turning black, giving people a strange and terrifying feeling.

Meanwhile, because Su Qi did not make a move for some reason, Sai Mengsheng successfully conveyed Naraku's order to Kagura.

"Temporarily retreat, lie in wait for an opportunity, watch Kenshin Shishio and Inuyasha's group fight each other, and then find a chance to seize the Shikon Jewel shards from him and Kagome."

Why did Naraku target Su Qi instead of Kikyo? Because he didn't believe that the Black Priestess Tsubaki could stand up to Kikyo, so his target was actually Su Qi from the beginning.

He first took advantage of Su Qi and Inuyasha's group killing each other, and then reaped the benefits when they were both exhausted. Not only could he eliminate the enemy, but he could also obtain the Shikon Jewel. Furthermore, he could satisfy his pleasure of making his loved ones kill each other. This was his well-designed plan to kill three birds with one stone.

They'll kill each other?

Kagura was puzzled after hearing Naraku's order, but she did not hesitate. After all, her heart was still in Naraku's hands, and she could not refuse his command.

However, just as she was about to leave, she suddenly saw a pair of eyes, eyes that glowed red and were like black abysses. Then, her head silently slid off her neck, the cut smooth as a mirror, hot blood gushing out like a fountain, splashing all over Su Qi who was standing next to her.

I'm dead? When...?

Filled with deep doubt and resentment, Kagura's consciousness quickly dissipated into the darkness.

The next moment, as her body collapsed to the ground, a dark mass of undead also fell from all directions, splattering blood everywhere.

Was I... a fool before?

Corpses piled up like a carpet, blood staining the ground. Su Qi stood in the center of the chaotic, abstract-painting-like battlefield, his expression icy cold, his eyes burning with fervor. "Eye-gouging? Companions? Drawing lines for yourself? What a load of crap! Companions are completely unnecessary! Infiltrating and eye-gouging are utterly brain-dead! You clearly possess immortality and the ability to rewind infinitely, so why add so many restrictions to yourself and use even more troublesome methods to achieve your goals?"

He turned around and looked at the house where Inuyasha, Kikyo, and the others were. A cold smile appeared on his lips. "They're just a bunch of NPCs. Why care about their feelings? Even if we mess things up, we can just revert to a previous save. The most important thing in life is to be happy."

Having said that, a flash of light appeared on his blade, and he slashed from a distance.

*Sizzle!*

The next moment, a massive wave of blades shot out, instantly splitting the earth and stirring up dust. It sliced ​​through the dozen or so monster corpses blocking its path, and amidst the flying blood and flesh, it slammed heavily into Kikyo's barrier.

boom!!

The ground shook, the mansion trembled, and amidst the turmoil of the barrier, a clear crack suddenly appeared.

"Oh no! Kenshin is attacking the barrier!!"

Inside the house, Kagome cried out in surprise and was knocked to the ground.

“He’s cursed, corrupted by the Shikon Jewel on his body.” Kikyo immediately saw the problem and said with a solemn expression, “We must stop him immediately, the barrier won’t last long.”

"What should we do?" Inuyasha, covered in wounds, struggled to his feet and said with a grim face, "I hate to admit it, but that guy is really strong. How can we stop him now?"

“Use the Shikon Jewel. Inuyasha, use the Shikon Jewel on Kagome to entangle him as much as possible, and then I will purify it.”

"Use the Shikon Jewel!? What if Inuyasha gets corrupted like Kenshin?"

"The reason he was so easily corrupted is entirely due to the curse. Even if Inuyasha were affected, it wouldn't be this fast. Besides, he has my Word of Power rosary on him, so even if he loses control, there will be time to stop him."

No sooner had he finished speaking than three more loud bangs followed. As the house shook, the outer barrier gradually cracked and was about to shatter.

"Hurry, there's no time!"

"Kagome, give me the Shikon Jewel shards!"

boom!!

The final wave of blades not only completely cleaved through the barrier, but also, with its remaining power, blasted a large hole in the wall of the house.

Amidst surging air currents and flying debris, Su Qi, wielding a sharp knife, appeared before everyone with a menacing aura.

Chapter 79 Anyone who doesn't wear white stockings will die!

"First, I'll grab the Shikon Jewel, give myself a buff, and then rush over and hack that old schemer Naraku to pieces... Hmm, that's a happy decision."

Su Qi muttered to himself as he stepped over the dilapidated foundation and strolled leisurely to Inuyasha and the others.

"I'm going to be killed! I'm going to be killed! I'm going to be killed..."

"May the gods protect us, may the gods protect us! Dear gods and Buddhas passing by, please bless us with safety and prevent us from being eaten by monsters..."

"Waaaaah...no...don't kill me...I don't want to die..."

……

From a corner of the hall came the survivors' trembling whispers filled with fear, along with faint, suppressed sobs. Because the battle had just taken place outside the barrier, they had been able to barely maintain their composure, but now that a corner of the house had been destroyed and the danger was so close at hand, they could no longer suppress their fear.

However, on the battlefield, even this alone is enough to bring disaster.

"Are you flies? You're so noisy."

Su Qi looked at the villagers huddled together, frowned slightly, and casually unleashed a wave of blade energy.

Just as blood and flesh were about to fly everywhere and heavy casualties were about to occur, Inuyasha suddenly took a step forward, blocked the attack with his sword, and with a bang, a shockwave exploded out, but his feet... remained completely still.

"Zhi Zhi Xiong Jian Xin, have you gone mad?!" He brushed away the dust with his sleeve, glaring angrily at Su Qi through gritted teeth. "They're just innocent villagers, why did you attack them?!"

The latter tilted his head slightly, looking completely bewildered, and said, "Er Gouzi, what are you talking about? What Zhizhi Xiong Jianxin did has nothing to do with me, Su Qi?"

Then, looking at Inuyasha's bewildered expression, he chuckled and said, "Oh, you also used a Shikon Jewel shard. How does it feel? Is your power greatly increased, and are you in a good mood, as if you've been freed from your cage and are now enjoying boundless freedom? It's incredibly refreshing, isn't it?"

At this moment, Inuyasha's eyes were bloodshot, his canine teeth were exposed, and there was a purple demon mark on each of his cheeks. Coupled with the speed and power that were far greater than before, it was obvious that he had used the Shikon Jewel shards, and the strange phenomenon of his demon bloodline being stimulated and revived.

"Hmph, I'm not as frivolous as you."

He answered curtly, but secretly felt a surge of excitement, wanting to tear his prey apart with his claws and experience that fleeting pleasure. He knew that this was a sign that he was gradually being influenced by the monster's blood, and he was trying his best to suppress it with reason.

“Ken… Kenshin-san…” Kagome stood behind Inuyasha, somewhat timidly saying, “You have already been corrupted by the Shikon Jewel. Please calm down, or you will turn into a demon.”

"Then I might as well not be human." Su Qi said, shamelessly admiring her body, then suddenly frowned and said with a stern face, "Kagome, you're guilty!"

"Huh?"

His expression suddenly became agitated, and he shouted sharply, "Why are you wearing white cotton socks that only reach your calves?! Why aren't you wearing white stockings that create a true 'absolute territory'?! White stockings are the only proper way for high school girls to dress up, don't you understand such a simple thing?! You've disappointed me so much!!"

"Huh?! ...

"Hmph, you don't need to know this question..." Su Qidao pointed at Kagome, his face full of murderous intent, and said, "Because the dead don't need to know too much."

"Huh!? Why? Are you trying to kill me?"

"Any heretical high school girl who doesn't wear white stockings should die!!"

Before he finished speaking, his figure shot out like an arrow, slashing at Kagome with his sword.

"Don't even think about it!!"

Inuyasha stood in front of the latter, using his Tessaiga to block the attack.

clang!!

As the blades clashed, a shockwave exploded, and Ge Wei cried out in surprise as she was blown away and crashed into the wall behind her.

"asshole!!"

Seeing Kagome injured, Inuyasha instantly flew into a rage, shattering the floor with a single step and unleashing tremendous force as he charged straight out, pushing Su Qi aside.

"Miroku, protect Kagome and Sango!"

Leaving behind a final word, the two simultaneously smashed through the crumbling wall and rushed outside, engaging in a fierce and chaotic battle.

"Be careful yourselves."

Kikyo glanced at everyone in the room, picked up her bow and arrow, stood up, and followed them out.

When she stepped outside, the battle between Su Qi and Inuyasha had already reached a fever pitch in just a short time.

Boom boom boom boom boom...

A series of deafening roars echoed, one after another. Not far away, two figures chased each other like lightning, locked in a fierce battle. Wherever they passed, the ground cracked, houses collapsed, trees snapped, and dust and smoke exploded, as if a hurricane had swept through, a natural disaster had struck, and everything was reduced to ruins.

Overall, the two are evenly matched and evenly matched.

Although Su Qi's swordsmanship and combat awareness were enough to easily defeat Inuyasha, the greater number of Shikon Jewel shards made up for the latter's shortcomings, allowing him to entangle Su Qi with superior speed and strength, making it difficult to determine a winner for the time being.

However, although Su Qi is temporarily unable to defeat Inuyasha in terms of raw power, it does not mean that he is truly helpless against Inuyasha.

If your combat strength is lacking, you can still use tactics.

However, after a short while, realizing that he could not quickly defeat Inuyasha, Su Qi suddenly changed direction, broke away from the battle, and rushed towards the house where Kagome and the others were.

Su Qi is now free of worries and weaknesses, while Inuyasha is the complete opposite. If they can capture Kagome, they can easily subdue him.

"Swordsmanship! Don't hurt Kagome!!"

Realizing his opponent's intentions, Inuyasha, who was chasing behind, was filled with rage and fear. He unleashed all his potential in an instant, making him even faster than Su Qi, who was already slightly faster. However, he still couldn't catch up in one go and could only quickly approach.

If this continues, Su Qi will be the first to rush into the house.

But at that moment, Kikyo stood in front of him, unleashing her full spiritual power, and the barrier rose again, surrounding the house once more.

Hmph, can a hastily constructed barrier stop me? Besides, even if it stops me once, can it stop me twice or three times? Inuyasha can't keep bothering me forever; there are far too many ways to get rid of him…

Su Qi sneered inwardly, his steps unwavering, his direction unchanged. His feet shook the earth, the air around him swirled wildly, and with the astonishing momentum of a speeding train, he crashed heavily into Kikyo.

boom!!

The spherical barrier that had just unfolded suddenly froze, then exploded with a bang, scattering into countless points of light.

The next moment, after being blocked for a split second, Su Qi charged forward again, crashing into Kikyo's arms. The gleaming blade transformed into a dazzling stream of light, piercing through Kikyo's chest without any obstruction and exiting from her back. The sharp tip of the blade gleamed coldly in the sunlight, without a trace of blood.
