My personal opinion on Gensokyo

After bidding farewell to the listless Death Girl Onozuka Komachi, Shang Yang and Jue walked along the flaming road surrounded by large fields of red spider lilies, heading towards the depths of the underworld on the other side.

At the end of the blazing road surrounded by red spider lilies is the "Hall of Right and Wrong" set up by the Yamas to judge the sins of the dead. The dead, attracted to the realm of the underworld and crossing the Sanzu River to the other side, cannot walk down this blazing road and can only walk along it involuntarily. In the fragrance of the red spider lilies on the roadside, they recall their lives. Then, they walk into the "Hall of Right and Wrong", where the Yamas will judge whether they should be sent to hell or reincarnated innocently.

Of course, after arriving at the other side, Shang Yang did not plan to visit the "Hall of Right and Wrong". Shiki Yingji had probably been as busy as Onozuka Komachi in the past fifty years, so it would be better not to disturb her work.

After walking along the Fire Road for a distance, Shang Yang pulled Jue away from the Fire Road and headed towards the endless mountains on the other side in the distance.

After leaving the Fire Road, the scenery Shang Yang and Jue saw turned into a desolate, uninhabited plain, with mountains in the distance looming in the thin white fog.

Some time later, deep in the mountains of the underworld on the other side.

This was a desolate valley surrounded by mountains. Most of the land in the underworld was barren, but this flat valley, nestled deep within the rolling mountains, was unique. And this uniqueness was...

In the lifeless valley, a huge monster skeleton stood quietly among the mountains.

The huge skeleton is covered with armor covered with fang-like barbs. Although the monster itself has been dead for a long time, one can still see the arrogance of this monster in its lifetime from this huge skeleton.

"I see, you're here to see Inu Taisho's skeleton..."

Standing on the rocks, looking at the huge skeleton left by General Inu, Jue asked thoughtfully.

"...Because of that Tessaiga?"

"On the one hand."

Hearing Jue's question, Shang Yang rubbed his hair and didn't care.

"Coming to see the skeleton of Inu Taisho is also one of the purposes."

Having said that, Shang Yang turned his gaze to the huge remains of General Inu and smiled.

"However, General Inu probably never imagined that I would be the first one to visit his grave two hundred years after his death."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Yang reached out and took hold of Jue's soft little hand again. Then, suddenly, the two people standing on the mountain in front of General Inu's remains disappeared in an instant.

In the desolate valley of the underworld, within the remains of General Inu.

The dim remains of Inu Taisho were filled with the remains of various monsters, and in the middle of Inu Taisho's abdomen, which was filled with bones, there was a rusty sword with even a cracked blade, which was inconspicuously inserted on a base that seemed to be made of metal.

Suddenly, Shang Yang and Jue appeared in the skeleton of General Inu among the remains that had been silent for two hundred years.

Looking up, he saw the rusty sword sealed on the metal base. The young man with gray hair, the master of Yunzhongting and the commander-in-chief of all the monsters in the world, showed an expression of noncommittal, stepped forward, raised his hand, and extended his slender index finger.

sizzle...

Before Shang Yang's index finger could touch the rusty sword, Tessaiga, the sword of teeth that could defeat hundreds of monsters with just one swing, began to resist Shang Yang's index finger from approaching again.

"As expected, the resistance to outsiders who don't have the bloodline of the Inu Taisho is even greater..."

Looking at Tessaiga who was rejecting him with all his might, Shang Yang said thoughtfully, and then, he extended his index finger forward again.

Knock, knock, knock...

Although it only moved forward a little further, the rusty Tessaiga began to crack with a "crackling" sound. There were already many cracks on the blade of the Tessaiga, and tiny cracks began to appear on the sword body.

Volume 5: Miko of the Warring States Period: Chapter 276: Swinging Tessaiga

Some time ago, deep in the mountains of the west.

The originally clear sky was obscured by the dark yellow evil spirit, becoming dim, with evil winds raging and the air mixed.

On this western plain surrounded by mountains, the sounds of shouting, weapons clashing, and blood and flesh splattering blended together.

This is the battlefield where the Western monsters led by Seshomaru and Inuyasha are fighting against the leopard cat clan who came for revenge.

puff!

"Tsk! These guys are really endless!"

Inuyasha once again used his claws to tear apart a weak monster that followed the leopard cat clan and wanted to get a share of the battle in which the leopard cat clan invaded the western country. He complained disdainfully and irritably, and then immediately attacked a monster that rushed towards him again with one claw.

"Soul-Removing Iron Claw!"

puff!

Another monster's body was torn apart by Inuyasha's Soul-scattering Iron Claws and died on the spot. Seeing his own results, Inuyasha moved his hands stained with monster blood with satisfaction, looked at the monsters surrounding him with hesitant expressions, and smiled triumphantly.

"However, it seems that if you leave them alone, these ocelots aren't that difficult to deal with..."

"The arrogant son of the Inu general!"

Hearing Inuyasha's sarcasm, the monsters led by the leopard cat clan also showed extremely angry expressions. With an angry shout from the leopard cat side, raging flames suddenly surged out and attacked Inuyasha.

"Hey! The powerful guy finally couldn't hold back anymore?!"

Seeing the flames rushing towards him, Inuyasha smiled excitedly again. The thing his fire rat fur was least afraid of was flames!

"Look at me tearing you to pieces!"

Inuyasha suddenly tore through the surging flames with a claw, stomped on the ground hard, broke through the flames' obstruction, and leaped from mid-air to the source of the flames. The leopard cat clan's Four Heavenly Kings, Xia Lan, who was stunned by his own flames being broken by Inuyasha, was shocked.

However, Inuyasha didn't wait for her to come to her senses, and suddenly swung his claws at the leopard cat Xia Lan in mid-air!

"Soul! Iron! Claws!"

Just as Xia Lan, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the leopard cat clan, was about to be hit by Inuyasha's Soul-Dispersing Iron Claw, Inuyasha, who was about to seize the opportunity to severely injure Xia Lan, suddenly felt a sudden palpitation, and was stunned by the attack of the Soul-Dispersing Iron Claw.

This feeling was like something happened to a treasure that was extremely important to me...

"……This is?!"

Seeing Inuyasha suddenly stop his attack, the leopard cat Xia Lan couldn't help but feel happy and immediately swung out the raging flames again.

"Go to hell! Inu Taisho's son!"

"What?! Damn it!"

Qi Er_Sanlin Temple (Nine) Qi Shan Si Yue-yi Noticing that the majestic flames were rushing towards him again, Inuyasha had to take a step back and cover himself with the wide sleeves of the fire rat fur to prevent the enemy's flames from taking advantage.

Inuyasha, covering himself with the wide sleeves of the fire rat fur, was extremely confused. What on earth was going on with that feeling just now?

Elsewhere, Seshomaru, who was also in a melee with the monsters of the leopard cat clan, snorted coldly when he noticed that Inuyasha had the opportunity to seriously injure or even kill one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the leopard cat clan, but in the end for some reason he ended up in a stalemate with the opponent.

"Heh, useless half-demon..."

At the same time, in the desolate mountain valley of the underworld on the other side, inside the remains of General Inu.

Seeing the tiny cracks on the iron fangs that were resisting him due to the magic power he exerted, Shang Yang shook his head helplessly and stopped his right hand from moving forward.

As Shang Yang withdrew his hand, the cracks on the Tessaiga slowly disappeared.

"Shangyang, it seems that if you force it with magic power."

Seeing the same scene, Jue reminded Shang Yang thoughtfully.

"This Tessaiga, which Inu no Taisho left for his second son, Inuyasha, will be completely crushed by your magical power..."

"It certainly seems so."

Shang Yang nodded slightly and agreed with Jue's words. However, Shang Yang, who didn't care, suddenly opened his right hand again, ignoring the external obstacles, broke through the repulsion protecting Tessaiga, and instantly grasped the hilt of Tessaiga!

"But it's not a big deal."

Shang Yang instantly grasped the hilt of the sword. Tessaiga, which was made of the canine fangs of Inu no Taisho and filled with the demonic power of Inu no Taisho Toga, was about to explode. At the same moment, the power of Liangyi was instantly poured into Tessaiga, suppressing Tessaiga's resistance almost without any hindrance, and then completely dominating this sword of fangs.

Shang Yang pulled out the Iron Fang that was inserted in it from the base, and casually waved the rusty sword in his hand, infusing a trace of magic power into it.

With the infusion of Shang Yang's magic power, the originally rusty iron tooth turned into a slender and wide tooth blade.

Then, holding the Tessaiga whose shape had changed, Shang Yang swung it casually!

"Wind injury."

In an instant, a violent whirlwind of magic power swept across.

Countless monster bones scattered inside the skeleton of the Dog General were picked up and crushed by the whirlwind of magic power. Just as the Wind Wound was about to hit the skeleton of the Dog General and create a huge crack from the inside out, Shang Yang casually swung the Fang Blade in his hand again.

A faint white airflow appeared on the broad blade of Tessaiga. This was not the power of Tessaiga itself, but the power of the two yin and yang of Shang Yang.

Then, suddenly, the whirlwind brought about by the Wind Scar disappeared in an instant, leaving only the monster bones that had just been swept up by the Wind Scar scattered among the pile of bones of the Inu General.

"I see……"

Shang Yang muttered to himself, and after using Tessaiga controlled by his own yin and yang power to strike out the wind wound, he also completely understood the composition of Tessaiga.

"what happened?"

Seeing Shang Yang looking at the large Tessaiga thoughtfully, he walked closer to Shang Yang and asked curiously.

"What is the problem?"

"No, it's fine."

Hearing Jue's question, Shang Yang waved Tessaiga again and answered casually.

"I just want to say that this Tessaiga is perfect for Inuyasha."

As he spoke, Shang Yang lifted the transformation of Tessaiga. As the transformation was lifted, Tessaiga transformed from a majestic fang blade into a rusty sword with many gaps on the blade.

Shang Yang casually placed Tessaiga back on its metal base with an amused look on his face.

"I'll also give Inuyasha and his group a small gift."

As Shang Yang finished speaking, the intertwined black and white yin and yang auras wrapped around the rusty Tessaiga from Shang Yang's palm and merged into the blade of Tessaiga.

Shang Yang perfectly hid a seal made of the power of yin and yang deep inside Tessaiga, whose appearance remained unchanged.

After completing this process, Shang Yang and Gu Mingdijue instantly disappeared into the remains of Inu Daisho and left.

The remains of Inu Taisho also returned to a lifeless silence, as if no one had ever been there.

Volume 5: Miko of the Warring States Period: Chapter 277: The Leopard Cat Clan Retreats

Western country, deep in the mountains.

The flat ground surrounded by mountains was littered with the remains of monsters and broken monsters.

With the never-ending shouts and cries of killing, the monsters continued to fight on the plains. The weak monsters were constantly torn into pieces by the powerful monsters, and the stronger monsters were killed by the group of monsters that were besieged from time to time. Even their remains were eaten by other monsters that were eager to increase their power.

Watching all this, the four heavenly kings of the leopard cat clan, who had already fought with Seshomaru and Inuyasha, Haru, Xia, Qiu, and Dong, whose names were taken from the seasons, looked embarrassed.

Originally, according to the plan of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Leopard Cat Clan, these weak Western monsters led by Seshomaru, the eldest son of Inu no Taisho, who was not as powerful as his father, should have been quickly defeated under the attack of the Leopard Cat Clan, which had accumulated power for two hundred years and was led by the Four Heavenly Kings of the Leopard Cat Clan.

After defeating the western monsters led by the despicable Inu no Taisho's son, Seshomaru, the Four Heavenly Kings of the leopard cat clan can lead the leopard cat clan straight into the western territory. The leopard cat clan will also occupy the west and once again become the overlord of the western monsters.

However, the current situation is obviously beyond the expectations of the four young members of the Leopard Cat Clan.

That’s right, the weak Western monsters led by Seshomaru are indeed vulnerable.

Under the attack of the Leopard Cat Clan, which had accumulated resentment for two hundred years, countless weak Western monsters died on the spot during the Leopard Cats' first attack. The Western monsters' formation was also broken up by the Leopard Cat Clan, becoming scattered, and all of them gathered in panic towards the location of Seshomaru and Inuyasha.

However, Inu no Taisho's eldest son, Seshomaru, surpassed the expectations of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Leopard Cat Clan, possessing powerful demonic powers. More and more of the leopard cat monsters who had submitted to the Leopard Cat Clan were slain by Seshomaru, and even the most powerful of the Four Heavenly Kings, Tou Lan, could not pose a threat to Seshomaru. Furthermore, Inu no Taisho's second son, Inuyasha, who was only slightly less powerful than Seshomaru, also participated in the war.

"hateful!"

Looking hatefully at Seshomaru who continued to kill the leopard cat monsters in the distance, Xia Lan, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the leopard cat clan, gritted his teeth.

"...If the Lord could be resurrected!"

Just now, when fighting with Inuyasha, the second son of Inuyasha, the leopard cat Xia Lan's fire magic power was useless because of the fire rat fur on Inuyasha's body. Instead, she was almost seriously injured by Inuyasha's soul-scattering iron claws several times, so she had to withdraw from the battle with Inuyasha and let Inuyasha slaughter other monsters belonging to the leopard cat clan.

"It seems that the four of us alone are not able to conquer the land of the Western Kingdom for the Lord."

The ocelot Dong Lan, who was also watching the chaotic battlefield, calmly made the decision.

"Retreat, and for the time being lead our people back to a land further west than the West Country."

"Don't worry, just wait for the right time. One day, we will return to the land of the West!"

Soon, the Four Heavenly Kings of the Leopard Cat Clan led the Leopard Cat Clan and the monsters subordinate to the Leopard Cat Clan to withdraw from the plain battlefield deep in the mountains, and quickly left the Western Country along the route they had previously taken to invade the Western Country.

"Hey! Don't try to escape!"

Inuyasha, who was being entangled by the little monsters who followed the leopard cat clan to invade the western country, saw that the four heavenly kings of the leopard cat clan had already begun to lead the leopard cat clan to quickly leave the battlefield, and shouted angrily and sarcastically to the retreating leopard cat clan.

"Tsk! You're a bunch of cowards!"

"hateful!"

Hearing the humiliation shouted out by an unhappy Inuyasha, Xia Lan, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Leopard Cat Clan, turned back with hatred to glance at the battlefield of the Willow Plains where corpses were strewn all over the ground.

"Damn you sons of the Inu Taisho! One day, we, the Ocelots, will come back and tear you to pieces!"

"Will you get away?!"
