My personal opinion on Gensokyo

Hearing Shangyang's persuasion, Inuyasha became furious and chopped again with his sword.

"If I call back that miko, Kagome's soul will cease to exist. Kaede has already told me the consequences!"

Just as Inuyasha and Shangyang were fighting, and Grandma Kaede who had arrived was blocked by the demon girl Rito, the pale white barrier that wrapped Kagome suddenly shattered, and countless pale white souls surged into the sky. After circling in the sky for a while, under the desperate gaze of Grandma Kaede and the anxious gaze of Inuyasha, one after another poured into the body of the dead and confused shrine maiden beside the sarcophagus.

Boom! ! !

With the sound of the pale white barrier that wrapped around Kagome's body completely shattering and disappearing, Kagome Higurashi, who was originally lying in the sarcophagus struggling in pain, lost her lively look in the eyes and became dead silent. Her delicate body lost the breath of life and gradually became motionless.

The silent priestess who had accepted the countless spirits stripped from Kagome's body and remained beside the sarcophagus seemed to feel extremely painful as she knelt down, leaning weakly against the sarcophagus where Kagome was placed.

"Damn it...Shang Yang, you bastard!"

Seeing this scene, Inuyasha roared in anger, raised Tessaiga again, and chopped at Shangyang madly as if he was risking his life. Grandma Kaede seemed to have been drained of all her strength and sat down on the ground powerlessly.

Seeing Inuyasha's angry reaction, Shang Yang still calmly avoided Tessaiga's sharp blade and spoke in a casual tone.

"You still want to fight... Ugh!"

puff!

Suddenly, something unexpected happened. Before Shang Yang could finish his words, a dazzling streak of light instantly cut through the air and pierced directly into Shang Yang's back. The sharp tip of the arrow pierced Shang Yang's heart without any hindrance and penetrated Shang Yang's chest.

"what?!"

Inuyasha was startled and jumped back subconsciously, looking in surprise at the young man with gray hair who groaned in terrible pain.

"Pfft...cough..."

The Demon-Destroying Arrow pierced his heart from behind, and the terrible pain in his heart made the defenseless Shang Yang's body shake. He almost fell to the ground, and dark red blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.

Covering his pierced chest, the young man with gray hair showed a wry smile on his face.

……really.

Turning back with difficulty, Shang Yang watched with unsurprised eyes as he saw the witch with long, jet-black hair, who had been kneeling on the ground, seemingly due to receiving countless spirits, staggering to her feet. Her fair hands tightly grasped the zelkova bow. Her long bangs concealed her features, making it difficult for Shang Yang to see her face...

Volume 6: Thoughts Across Time and Space: Chapter 343: Unforgettable Hatred

Not caring too much about the terrible pain of having his heart pierced, the young man with gray hair staggered back, seeming to be struggling to support his body, and looked expressionlessly at the weak witch with long black hair like a waterfall who also staggered to her feet.

Her bangs concealed her features, making it impossible to see her face clearly.

However, except for the expressionless Shang Yang and the ecstatic ghost woman Li Tao, when Grandma Kaede and Inuyasha saw the thin figure standing up shakily, Grandma Kaede and Inuyasha couldn't help but take a few steps back subconsciously.

Inuyasha looked at the Demon-Breaking Arrow that pierced the young man's heart and chest from behind with some fear, and immediately took a few steps back instinctively.

When the Demon-Breaking Arrow shot over just now, Inuyasha was scared half to death, and instantly thought of the Sealing Arrow that sealed him fifty years ago.

...If this magic-destroying arrow was aimed at me, I would definitely be dead by now!!!

Moreover, looking at the weak and frail shrine maiden who seemed to be so fragile, Inuyasha frowned.

...There's no scent of a living person. Is that shrine maiden already a "monster"?

"Ji-Sister Kikyo?!"

The hunchbacked old woman also subconsciously took a few steps back, looking at the familiar frail figure in disbelief.

That's right, she must be his sister who had passed away fifty years ago...

But, something seems to be different...

"Hey hahahaha... I finally succeeded, I finally succeeded!"

When the hunchbacked ghost witch saw the witch she had called back to the human world follow her orders and seriously injure the hateful guy who threatened her with an arrow, the ghost witch Li Tao laughed wildly and triumphantly.

"This witch was brought back to the world by me, an old woman. How could she defy my secret technique?"

The hunchbacked ghost witch rolled her eyes and glanced triumphantly at Shang Yang, who seemed to be pale and shaky because the magic-breaking arrow pierced his heart, as well as the extremely uneasy Inuyasha and Grandma Kaede, and chuckled.

"Kikyo's power is even greater than I anticipated! With this miko as my servant, I can easily find all the remaining fragments of the Four Souls Jade! Now, let you also taste the terrifying power of this demon-breaking spiritual power! Quick! Kikyo! Quickly clean up these guys who are in the way!"

As if she really followed the proud order of the ghost girl Li Tao, the frail and weak witch, still with her head down, shakily raised the bow in her hand again, put an arrow on it, slowly pulled the string to the full, and aimed at the direction of Shang Yang, who seemed pale and holding his chest, and Grandma Feng, whose face changed drastically, and Inuyasha.

Seeing the shrine maiden's actions, the very satisfied ghost girl Rito looked proudly at Shang Yang, who was pale but seemed unable to exert his strength because of a fatal heart injury, as well as Inuyasha and Grandma Kaede, whose faces changed drastically and they were on high alert, and laughed.

"Don't waste your energy. Kikyo's magic-breaking arrow is not something that that despicable half-demon and that half-baked, aging miko over there can withstand. Hehe, and you, that abominable fellow who threatened this old woman, even though you've taken Kikyo's arrow and are still alive, that's the end of you! Now, be completely purified by Kikyo's magic-breaking arrow!!!"

After saying this with wild laughter, the ghost girl Li Tao, who originally wanted to enjoy Shang Yang's frightened expression, found with some uneasiness that Shang Yang, who seemed to be exhausted due to serious injuries, did not show a trace of panic or fear. Instead, the pale complexion slowly dissipated and turned into a calmness that did not care.

"...You engraved the spell that controls Kikyo within her clay body, and then found a chance to use Kikyo's magic-breaking arrow to purify me, Ghost Witch. Your plan is indeed quite good."

Under the astonished gaze of the hunched ghost witch, the young man with gray hair asked in a casual tone with an amused look on his face.

"...But, have you really controlled Kikyo?"

"...Wha, what?!"

The dazed ghost girl Li Tao's face suddenly changed drastically and she turned around subconsciously.

puff!

It was too late. Just as the old and hunchbacked ghost witch's face changed drastically and she turned around in vain, another magic-breaking arrow, the same one that had just pierced Shang Yang's heart, shining with spiritual light, instantly pierced the ghost witch's hunchbacked body.

"No, it's impossible! How could she possibly escape from my control... Ahhhh!!!"

Amidst the sharp screams of the old, hunchbacked ghost witch Liu Yiqi, the spiritual power of the Demon-Breaking Arrow instantly ignited a blazing flame of spiritual power on the hunchbacked body of the ghost girl Li Tao, purifying the old ghost witch's body and the demonic energy together, burning it into a pile of dark debris.

"You are so wrong, witch."

Shang Yang glanced at the pile of black bones that were instantly burned and purified, and looked not far away. He saw the frail and weak witch who was still covered by her bangs and exuded a biting cold aura.

"Kikyo isn't someone who can be controlled by monsters..."

"...At all times, she always acts according to her own will, including the arrow just now, which also came from her own will."

"but……"

Looking at the cold witch who was still slightly lowering her head, supporting her thin and delicate body, and walking towards here step by step, and feeling the cold breath around the witch, Shang Yang sighed, feeling extremely helpless.

"...To be honest, if it were controlled by a witch, it wouldn't be so scary... It's deadly..."

Sighing again, Shang Yang looked at Inuyasha and Grandma Kaede, who were confused about what was going on because of a series of sudden changes, and forced a wry smile to pretend to be relaxed.

"...I say, you two should get out of the way first. It's easy to get hurt, especially Inuyasha. You don't want Kikyo to hang you from the tree again... Don't worry, Kagome is fine."

"Tsk! Who would believe you?"

After hearing Shang Yang's words, although Inuyasha was obviously sweating, he also bared his teeth and showed a gloating look.

"That miko is clearly coming for you, stop talking nonsense and tell me how to rescue Kagome!"

...Fuck, Er Gouzi, what are you still talking about here! If you don't run away, I'm going to run away! Then Kikyo can hang whoever she wants from the tree, it has nothing to do with me anyway. She's being too scary right now!

Seeing that Inuyasha was still stubbornly arguing with him with bared teeth, Shang Yang, who almost couldn't help but slap the guy away, was about to curse in his heart. He then looked guiltily at the cold and aloof shrine maiden who was still walking towards him with her head slightly lowered. He immediately made a decision and waved his hand. The sudden storm swept the bared and arguing Inuyasha and the expression-changing Grandma Kaede down the mountain in an instant.

After dealing with Inuyasha and Grandma Kaede who were in the way, Shang Yang turned around and slowly let out a sigh.

The terrible pain caused by the heart pierced by the Demon-Breaking Arrow seemed to gradually disappear with this action.

Although he tried hard to suppress his guilty conscience, the master of Yunzhongting didn't know what to say when he saw the witch who had come to him and stopped less than ten steps away from him, with her bangs still covering her face and a cold aura all around her.

Just like fifty years ago, there were obviously many things he could say, but now, when he actually saw this witch whom he hadn't seen for fifty years and who was still as weak as fifty years ago, Shang Yang really didn't know what to say.

"...Why did you call me back to the human world? Shang Yang."

The ethereal and cold voice is like a thousand-year-old ice, freezing to the bone.

"...Are you trying to kill me again?"

Volume 6: Thoughts Across Time and Space: Chapter 344: Resentment, Promise

“…How could that be?”

The young man sighed softly and spoke slowly.

"...I won't do that again."

"……lie."

The witch, with an icy chill all over her body, slowly raised her head.

What Shang Yang saw was a beautiful face that he had not seen for fifty years.

What was different from fifty years ago was that the beautiful face of the witch no longer had the softness that was familiar to young people.

Instead, there was a frosty coldness on his face.

The Zi bow filled with demon-destroying spiritual power was tightly grasped by fair hands and raised.

Due to the deep hatred that penetrated her bones, the cold-hearted witch's slender white hands trembled slightly, and her deep pupils, as clear as water, were filled with disappointment, sadness, and hatred.

"Even now, you are still lying to me..."

The arrow on the bow was slowly pulled to its full string by the slender white hand, which greatly restrained the evil demon's magic power.

The witch exuded an icy chill all over her body, and her tone was filled with cold hatred.

"...As long as you are still alive...As long as you are still alive in this world!!!"

Bang! ! !

The arrows shining with spiritual light cut through the air!

puff!

Most of the arrow instantly penetrated the abdomen of the young man with gray and white hair. Dark red blood gradually seeped out from the wound where the arrow penetrated, soaking the young man's clothes.

It seemed that because his internal organs were severely injured by this terrible magic-destroying arrow, the young man with gray hair could not help but ooze dark red blood from the corners of his mouth.

Once again, his internal organs were pierced by the Demon-Destroying Arrow. Even with Shang Yang's tenacity, which had been honed for thousands of years, he still found it difficult to endure the terrible pain brought by the Demon-Destroying Arrow.

This is not an ordinary arrow, but a magic-breaking arrow that can restrain inhuman monsters.

However, even so, the owner of Yunzhongting remained expressionless. He just casually raised his hand and wiped away the blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. As for the large bloodstains that oozed from the wound on his abdomen and soaked his clothes, he ignored them.

Seeing this strange scene, the witch, whose heart was filled with deep hatred for the young man, couldn't help but be stunned.

This is……

"Have you calmed down a bit?"

Noticing the hint of doubt that flashed across Kikyo's cold face, Shang Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief. He barely suppressed the terrible damage caused by the magic-destroying spiritual power of the magic-destroying arrow and spoke lightly.

"Now, can you listen to me, Kikyo?"

“…pointless sophistry.”

Faced with the strange attitude of the young man with gray hair, a trace of confusion flashed across Kikyo's cold face, and her tone was still ice-cold, and the arrow of demon destruction that was shining with spiritual light was fully strung again.

The one in front of him was a great monster that had lived for thousands of years, and he possessed the power to never die.

Sudden changes occur.

call out……

Perhaps because she had just been resurrected and had been unrestrainedly urging her own spiritual power, the spirits that had been bound in this fake clay body by the witch's tenacious mind gradually loosened.

A completely loosened soul penetrated through the witch's chest.

Looking at the pale white soul that was leaving his body, even Kikyo, with her icy face at the moment, couldn't help but reveal an expression of extreme surprise and astonishment.

Shhhhhhhhhh

The soul that escaped from her body was just a trigger. Subsequently, one after another, pale white souls escaped from Kikyo's body and floated in the air.

Then, as if they had found the place they should go, countless pale white souls floating in the air rushed into the body of Kagome Higurashi, who was still tied in the sarcophagus and had no life at all because she had lost all her souls.

The girl, who had lost her life and had dead eyes due to the loss of her soul, seemed to be freed from some kind of restraint after one pale white soul after another flowed into her body. The active breath of life was revived in this fragile body again.

The girl's lifeless eyes gradually regained some of their spirit.

Wait, wait!!!

Sensing this unexpected crisis, Kikyo subconsciously raised her delicate white hands, trying to grab the pale white spirits that were escaping from her body, but she couldn't hold them...

Although she mobilized her spiritual power to bind the remaining souls in her body, the remaining souls completely ignored Kikyo's wishes and continued to leave Kikyo's body one after another.

Similarly, due to the continuous separation of her soul, Kikyo's delicate body involuntarily fell to her knees on the ground...

Kagome Higurashi's body began to instinctively recall her soul.
