My two-dimensional resident

A single divine medicine is equivalent to a life. The number of demon hunters is already small; without Lin Tian's pill, that young clansman wouldn't have even survived, let alone lost a leg.

"Alright. Giving you the healing medicine will also motivate you to search for the fragments. Your injury is considered a work-related injury, so I will naturally help. By the way, Amber told me that you recently took on a mission. Can you tell me about it?"

Lin Tian waved his hand, signaling Agate to put the healing pills away.

"Yes, sir. The lord of Hitomi Castle in the northern part of Musashi Province said that a demon is frequently harassing them. He ordered us to send several powerful exorcists. I have decided to take Sango and the others to Hitomi Castle this afternoon. And you are, sir?"

The First Evolution

Agate carefully took out a red box, put away the healing pills that Lin Tian had casually tossed in front of him, and said respectfully.

"I see. We've been staying in the mountain stronghold lately, and Kikyo said she's getting a little bored and wants to go out for a walk. So, is it alright if she comes with you?"

Chapter 209 Why Hyuga Neji Can't Use the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique

Upon hearing Agate mention heading to Hitoshi Castle, Lin Tian, ​​who had forgotten most of the plot, finally remembered that this was the town where Naraku was hiding. The appearance of monsters in his town must be Naraku's doing.

After thinking for a while, Lin Tian realized that this was a diversionary tactic devised by Naraku after he learned that the exorcists had begun collecting the Shikon Jewel fragments.

Lin Tian and Kikyo had passed through Hitomi Castle in Musashi Province before. However, since they didn't sense the aura of the Shikon Jewel shards and lacked the necessary memories of the events, they chose not to enter the castle.

Looking back now, Lin Tian realized that the reason they didn't encounter Naraku back then was probably because Naraku was out collecting the Shikon Jewel shards.

After all, he's even more diligent than Kagome and the others.

"Ah, Lady Kikyo wants to come with us. Of course, I would be more than happy to agree."

When Agate heard that Kikyo wanted to go out, he was overjoyed. He quickly agreed to Lin Tian's request. That was a powerful being who could purify evil spirits; how could he possibly refuse to have such a powerful person accompany them to exorcise the monster?

Regarding Kikyo's identity, since fifty years had passed, Mana and the others did not connect this Lady Kikyo with the Kikyo priestess.

After all, it's impossible for someone to maintain the same appearance for fifty years. Besides... that Kikyo priestess has already died in battle...

"Okay. You can go ahead and get busy then."

"Yes, my lord!"

After Agate left with the fourteen apples, Lin Tian pondered for a moment before also leaving the house and going to the backyard. Seeing the lisianthus in the yard watering her flowers with a watering can, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

"Kikyo, this afternoon Agate and the others are going to the City of Humans to exorcise demons. I told him you wanted to go too, and he agreed."

"Is Naraku coming?"

Upon hearing Lin Tian's words, Kikyo immediately turned around and asked.

“That’s right. According to the plot, everyone except for the siblings Sango and Kohaku will die there. You should go with them and help me save their lives. I’ll wait for Naraku to arrive here.” Lin Tian nodded.

Although the plot that came to mind wasn't as comprehensive as the original animated film, Lin Tian vaguely remembered one very important scene.

Naraku and a group of demons surrounded the Shikon Jewel shards. Then Naraku said something that enraged the demons, who all tried to devour him, but Naraku devoured them instead.

Naraku's ability to devour is something only his original body can do; a substitute puppet cannot. Therefore, Lin Tian believes that the Naraku who came to the exorcist's stronghold is his original body, not a substitute.

So when he heard that Agate and the others were going to Hitoshi Castle, he decided to let Kikyo go with them.

"Then be careful."

Kikyo frowned slightly, then looked at Lin Tian tenderly and said...

She felt a pang of regret upon learning that her enemy was approaching, while she was to protect others. However, considering that Lin Tian's decision was also for her sake, she did not refuse.

Although her spiritual power is high, her overall strength may not be stronger than Lin Tian's, especially in combat. Compared to Lin Tian, ​​she's more like a healer/archer. In a direct confrontation, she's not as strong as Lin Tian.

Therefore, when she encountered Naraku, she could not guarantee that she could kill him 100%.

"Okay, don't worry. I'll spare his life. I'll be waiting for you to come back."

Lin Tian desperately wanted to kill Naraku the moment he saw him. But then he thought that if he killed him, Kikyo would inevitably feel a pang of regret.

So he decided to capture Naraku and wait for Kikyo to return so she could deal with him.

"Thank you, God!"

Upon hearing this, Kikyo was deeply moved and hugged Lin Tian tightly...

......

The night was rather gloomy. Although the village was located on a mountaintop, the air was stuffy and hot, making people feel drowsy.

Several exorcists were patrolling the wooden walls of the mountain stronghold. They moved languidly, stopping after only a few steps to lean against the railings and chat about gossip.

Just then, Lin Tian appeared in front of them without warning.

"My lord!" Upon seeing Lin Tian appear, the demon hunters immediately stood up straight and bowed to him.

The efficacy of Lin Tian's apples had already spread among their group, and the fact that a member of their tribe who was on the verge of death was saved by Lin Tian's miraculous medicine made them respect Lin Tian from the bottom of their hearts.

“There are a lot of monsters hiding in those dark clouds ahead. Judging from their route, their target should be us. Go and tell the others to move the elderly and children in the village to the safe house, and have everyone protect them. Leave this to me.”

Lin Tian didn't activate his Byakugan, but his Observation Haki had already sensed that hundreds of monsters were attacking this place.

Thanks to Kikyo's accompaniment, Agate did not take all of the stronghold's top fighters with her. Most of the exorcists left the stronghold to help Lin Tian find the Shikon Jewel fragments.

At this point, the number of demon hunters remaining in the village, including the top combatants who did not leave with Agate, was only sixteen, a pitifully small number.

Lin Tian couldn't count on them to defeat these monsters. It was better to let them protect the civilians in the mountain stronghold than to let them die in battle.

"Ah! Yes, sir!"

Upon hearing that a group of monsters was approaching, the exorcists' faces showed fear. They knew very well that the exorcists in the mountain stronghold could only handle three or four monsters at most, and were powerless against a group of them.

Following Lin Tian's orders, the group quickly ran down the village wall to wake up the sleeping villagers and move them to the safe house.

Lin Tian paid no further attention to the actions of these exorcists. He stared coldly at the dark cloud formed by the group of demons.

Rice ball reading

He unleashed his full Observation Haki, seeking out the mastermind, Naraku, who was hiding in the shadows.

"Not nearby? That's very cautious."

Seeing the monsters emerge from the dark clouds, Lin Tian couldn't detect Naraku's presence within a three-kilometer radius, which made him feel a bit annoyed with this "schemer."

Since Naraku hadn't shown himself, Lin Tian couldn't attack the demons immediately. He frowned and looked back at the exorcists who were setting up a defensive perimeter near the safe house.

"Looks like we need to put on a show first."

After saying that, Lin Tian's figure disappeared from the spot and appeared in front of the sixteen demon exorcists in the next second.

"grown ups!"

Upon seeing Lin Tian arrive, a young man leaning on a cane happily came to Lin Tian's side.

"You all go in too. I'll take care of things here."

Lin Tian glanced at the figures of these people, then waved his hand and said.

"This..." The demon hunters exchanged bewildered glances after hearing Lin Tian's order. They didn't understand why Lin Tian had suddenly changed his mind.

"Yes, my lord!"

But they couldn't disobey Lin Tian's orders. Led by the young man, the group, carrying their bows, arrows, swords, and spears, entered the safe house in an orderly fashion.

"This is really a headache! Why doesn't Neji know the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique?!"

As Lin Tian watched the monsters getting closer and closer, he mentally complained that Hyuga Neji only knew the simple clone technique.

At the same time, balls of fire separated from his body, and then slowly changed shape, eventually transforming into the appearance of demon hunters.

---Aside---

My updates have been a bit sporadic lately. I'd like to recommend this book to help you get through this time without me.

Chapter 210 The monster got a stomachache after eating Lin Tian, ​​so what would happen if Naraku ate a monster?

Flame clones + transformation technique!

This is a clone technique that Lin Tian developed by combining the clone technique he learned from Hyuga Neji with his own Flame-Flame Fruit abilities.

Because it was developed based on the clone technique, Lin Tian's flame clone also inherited the limitations of the clone technique. The clone failed to possess a high degree of independent action capability.

In addition, its short lifespan, limited range of movement, and excessive energy consumption mean that Lin Tian generally doesn't like using this flame clone.

After taking out an apple from his spatial backpack to replenish his depleted chakra and stamina, Lin Tian turned around and gave orders to his clones, who had transformed into demon slayers.

My Iceberg Beauty Wife

After these clones left the safe house, he took out another concealment talisman made by Kikyo from his spatial backpack and pasted it on the door of the safe house.

A faint blue light flashed across the obscure and incomprehensible runes on the talisman. The safe house, which was visible to the naked eye just a moment ago, vanished into thin air.

Lin Tian used his Observation Haki to sense the area and found that he could not detect anyone inside the safe house. He nodded in satisfaction and disappeared in a flash of light.

Countless monsters gathered above the exorcist's stronghold, like dark clouds pressing down on the city, making the surrounding air heavy and suffocating.

Roar!

A monster resembling a dragon roared and broke away from the group of monsters, falling towards the mountain stronghold. Then a second, a third... countless monsters transformed into fiery meteors and rushed towards the wooden houses in the stronghold.

They wantonly destroyed any buildings they could. In an instant, demonic energy filled the entire mountain stronghold, and flames erupted everywhere, turning this century-old village into a living hell.

But they soon noticed something was wrong: there was no one in the destroyed houses.

But their hesitation only lasted a few seconds. After a few seconds, they began to frantically trample on everything in the mountain village.

Soon, several monsters spotted the "exorcists." With a roar, they charged towards their enemies.

These "exorcists" frantically fought back with their bows and arrows, but there were too many monsters. After shooting down a few, they were torn to pieces by the surging tide of monsters.

Then came the second wave, the third wave... After all the "exorcists" were torn to pieces and swallowed by the monsters, they gathered in front of an ancestral hall.

Several powerful monsters broke through the wooden door of the ancestral hall and entered the house.

Upon seeing the larger Shikon Jewel fragment enshrined in the central shrine, their eyes turned greedy.

However, because they had to be wary of other monsters around them, no monster dared to step forward and try to take the Shikon Jewel shard.

At this moment, an evil wind blew into the ancestral hall, circled around the shrine a few times, and then transformed into a humanoid monster wearing a baboon skin.

Ignoring the gazes of the surrounding monsters, it directly picked up the Shikon Jewel shard from the shrine. Looking at the Shikon Jewel shard in its hand, it couldn't help but let out a sinister laugh.

"Naraku!" The demons present were furious when they saw Naraku take the Shikon Jewel, as if they wanted to tear the half-demon in front of them apart.

"It seems your resentment towards exorcists over the years has finally been vented. I was the one who told you that all the powerful exorcists in this mountain stronghold had gone out. And yet you even want to attack me?"
