My wife's name is Platycodon

Kikyo couldn't help but laugh, revealing a bit of joy: "Of course."

The two left this valley, were speechless for a moment, and continued to move forward.

"Are you in love with him?" Zou Ji suddenly said.

"You can say that." Kikyo's attitude was calm.

"There is no 'you can say that'. Either you love it or you don't, that's all." Souji said.

Kikyo looked at the senior miko, who was waiting for her answer.

"If love cannot be absolute, then it is definitely not love." Zou Ji went on to say that although she had never experienced love, she had seen life and death and was very familiar with all kinds of emotions in the world.

Kikyo was silent for a long time, not knowing what she was thinking, her eyes dimmed, and she finally said, "Can't a witch love someone?"

As a senior, Souji has the obligation to guide the younger generations. Although Kikyo has come a long way on the path of training, she is still at an age of youth and beauty.

This is an iron rule.

No matter how mature and calm she appears, no matter how highly respected she is, she cannot change this.

And Souji has experienced much more than Kikyo.

"A priestess naturally has to love, and it must be great love. If she does not have a heart of universal love and kindness, how can she protect those confused people in the world?" Zou Ji's words were long, ethereal and pleasant to the ear.

"Kikyo, what do you think?"

Kikyo snorted softly, neither agreeing nor denying.

"So-called love? Humph." She only whispered it, and then snorted again.

"I am not confused at all, my spiritual power is still strong, and the path I am taking is right under my feet, and it will not change at all." Kikyo raised her head and said, her eyes sparkling.

Zouji was not surprised. She pondered for a moment, and then said, "If that's the case, then I have the answer. A witch can have boundless love and save the world, or she can be loyal to someone and never abandon him or her."

She said this from the perspective of a senior shrine maiden, which meant that she acknowledged Kikyo's feelings.

After all, no one in this world said no to Kikyo, so how could she have the right to deny Kikyo's love.

The Heavenly Dao Priestess can also choose the person she loves. If anyone doubts this, they can first ask Kikyo's Demon-Breaking Arrow.

Kikyo's expression relaxed. If it wasn't necessary, she didn't want to talk about this topic with Souji.

The answer is in everyone's heart, and the doubts of outsiders will only make her more determined to stick to her own opinion.

"I can't hold on for a few more days. Are you really not going to embark on that journey?" Zou Ji brought up the old matter again.

This is a way out. The Four Fighting Gods came for this. She feels that Kikyo will leave one day, so it is never a bad thing to know it in advance.

Chapter 78: Kikyo's clone

"I saw a desolate and decaying future in the Four Fighting Gods. You are still young, and so is Garo. Go find a new world."

Passing through the vast mountains and forests, the green gradually fades, and strange rocks stand in rows. Then the road ends in front of you, and there is a red cliff with reddish-brown rocks. The cliffs here are towering, thousands of feet high, and extremely dangerous.

The sky is surrounded by clouds and in the distance white waves are rolling in, one after another, crashing against the shore with a loud noise, which is extremely spectacular.

The sea breeze blew, ruffling Kikyo's hair. Her eyes were melodious, her demeanor was extraordinary, her black hair fluttered, and her figure was extremely beautiful. She looked like a fairy descending to earth, standing on the cliff.

"What are other worlds like?"

"I don't know. Only the gods can give the answer. They left this world in search of a pure land."

"Does the Pure Land really exist?" Kikyo asked softly.

Zou Ji was silent. She had been searching all her life and finally chose Penglai Island.

However, the former fairyland of Penglai could not escape the ravages of war.

She was a witch of heaven and one of the most powerful beings in the world. It was not difficult for her to protect herself and no one dared to cause trouble for her. But in the end, she died for a group of half-demons.

This is the fate of all witches.

But Kikyo is different. She broke free from her own tragic fate and hung her destiny on Jialuo. From then on, she had the freedom to fly freely in the vast sky.

In fact, Souji is very envious of Kikyo, and she also hopes that Kikyo can have a good ending, otherwise she would not have repeatedly persuaded her to leave.

“Instead of waiting for death, it is better to seek opportunities for life.”

Zouji's body disappeared, leaving only these words, which were then blown away by the sea breeze.

The answer to this question needs to be found by Kikyo herself.

"Now that the gods have retreated, where can I go to live a peaceful life?" She sighed softly, stood on the cliff, stared into the distance, and remained silent for a long time.

……

Jialuo woke up, and his body told him that he had slept for a day and a night.

However, the effect of the tenth-level physical condition is extremely strong. If it were in the past, such a serious injury would require at least ten days or half a month of sleep. If it weren't for Kikyo, he would not lie here leisurely, but would dig a hole and bury himself, fearing that he would be attacked while sleeping.

Jialuo moved his body, his fists and feet were powerful, his body was fully revived, the energy in his body was fierce and the demonic power was boiling, as if there was a dragon hidden in it.

The environment on Penglai Island is good and will help him recover from his injuries.

After killing the Four Fighting Gods, he obtained nearly five enhancement points. Long Luo provided one and a half points, which together with the previous points were enough for him to reach level eleven.

However, Jialuo is still stuck at the level ten threshold, and he firmly believes that he can break through through his own efforts.

After awakening to the state of liberating demonic power, his control over energy increased significantly, and he was completely moving towards the direction of becoming a half-demon.

Running to a high ground, Jialuo sensed carefully and soon realized that hundreds of dead soul insects were now all over Penglai Island, and they seemed to be surveying something and surrounding a certain place.

He moved very quickly and arrived at a dark cave.

Next to the cave hangs a waterfall, which is as majestic as thousands of horses galloping or the Milky Way falling from the sky, extremely magnificent.

The floor of the cave was flooded. After passing through the dark waterway, Garo came to the inner space alone. However, as soon as he came in, he quickly retreated as if frightened.

"Why are you not wearing any clothes!" Jialuo said angrily. He had night vision and saw everything clearly. He saw a naked Kikyo curled up in the water. The image was still lingering in his mind and he felt very embarrassed.

He waited for a long time before Kikyo came out with a smile. She always wore her shrine maiden uniform and did not need to take a bath. Her body was very clean, but her body was full of dead air, so naturally she could not provide any benefits.

The person Garo was talking about was another person.

Behind Kikyo, a person who looked very similar to her also walked out, with the same facial features, hairstyle, and body as Kikyo.

The only difference is that Kikyo is wearing a shrine maiden's costume, while this "Kikyo" is wearing armor, holding a heavy sword, wearing a hair crown on her head, and has a cold and ruthless face. She looks particularly heroic, like a female general on the battlefield.

"Even I didn't expect that the Four Fighting Gods would use my blood to create a copy of me." Kikyo smiled, and a ball of blood appeared in her palm. She quickly wrapped it with spiritual power and took it back into her body.

She had originally planned to use Kagome as a prototype to create a new body, but unexpectedly she found a better choice here.

"Does she have your abilities?" Jialuo looked at the clone and saw that her eyes were dull and her face was stiff. She didn't look extraordinary and didn't have the unique charm of Kikyo.

"Why don't you try it and know?" Kikyo's eyes were like crescent moons and she smiled sweetly.

Jialuo immediately became alert, realizing that Kikyo was showing some evil intent, and turned his eyes to the Kikyo who was wearing armor and holding a sword.

"How to try?"

Kikyo pointed at Jialuo, turned around and said, "Go."

As soon as she finished speaking, the lifeless eyes of her other self flashed red, and then her body moved, slashing at Gala with the sword in her hand at an extremely fast speed.

Although Jialuo had expected this, she was still surprised to see the actions of the clone Kikyo.

So fast!

She charged forward in two steps, as fast as thunder and as violent as a wild horse. Her movements were incredibly light and agile, yet also powerful. She raised her sword and slashed at his neck.

Without time to think, Garo dodged by leaning back, but a strand of his thick black hair was cut off by the sword. Looking at the broadsword that disappeared in front of his eyes in an instant, the strand of black hair slowly fell to the ground, and Garo's eyes suddenly became solemn.

The clone Kikyo took advantage of the situation and attacked again with the sword in both hands, but Garo did not give him any chance and stepped back, leaving an afterimage, which was quickly cut off by the clone Kikyo.

This is a broadsword. It looks plain and simple, with only two attributes: sharp and heavy. Its weight can be known by just the whistling sound. It is at least several hundred pounds. However, it is held in the hands of the replica of Kikyo outside the body, but it is like a toy and can be wielded freely.

Clang!

The Sword of Hades was pulled out from behind by Garo, and it fought hard with Kikyo's clone. Most of the recoil force was borne by both of them, but the reflected aftermath was still amazing. The waterway in the cave exploded immediately, splashing water mist all over the sky.

Kikyo's voice echoed in the cave: "Why, fighting a replica of a miko in close combat also requires you to take out the Sword of Hades? Jialuo, are you going to go all out?"

There was a hint of smile in her words, as if she was hinting at something.

Jialuo snorted coldly and put away the Sword of Hades.

Sword of Hades: ...

The cave was narrow and the environment was cramped, so the fight was not satisfying and they were unable to exert their full strength. Garo flashed outside and Kikyo's copy also rushed out.

As soon as Jialuo landed on a rock, he saw the copy of Kikyo leap into the air and chop down with a sword in one hand. He had no choice but to jump away again, and then heard a loud bang, and the huge rock was smashed to pieces by the copy of Kikyo.

Chapter 79: Die without Knowing Anything

After splitting the rocks, the clone Kikyo landed lightly on the rubble, his face blank, and the figure of Gala was no longer in his sight.

She had an incomplete mind and no sanity, she didn't know how to deal with the situation and couldn't track down the enemy.

At this moment, behind her, Jialuo suddenly appeared, stretched out his hand and slapped her on the back of the head, making the clone Kikyo stagger, but she reacted very quickly, holding the sword in the opposite hand, and stabbed directly, and the sword brushed against her slender waist with a hair's breadth.

Jialuo quickly moved away, avoiding the sword, and was even more surprised.

His original intention of that attack was to knock the clone unconscious, but the latter was as if nothing had happened. Not only was its head clear, but it was also able to fight back immediately.

He looked at him carefully and felt that this Kikyo had an extremely strong body, almost comparable to himself half a year ago. He had a tough physique, moderate strength and speed, and more importantly, sufficient ability to withstand blows. He wondered how the Four Fighting Gods cultivated him.

However, without spiritual power, having qualifications is just empty talk.

"This body is very unusual. Could you have done something to it, Kikyo?" Jialuo looked at Kikyo's real body that had just emerged from the water.

"Then you are wronging me." Kikyo shook her head. If she wanted to do something, how could she have gone only this far?

Kikyo merely replaced the Four Gods and gained the right to use her own clone.

I have to say that the technique of the Four Fighting Gods is extremely valuable for reference. They can actually use her blood to cultivate this type of fighter themselves.

After she saw this replica, Kikyo immediately understood the Four Fighting Gods' plan.

Zou Ji sealed their life source in a jade box. Even if Zou Ji died, they could not open the jade box. They could only rely on their own power as fellow priestesses.

However, the clone in front of him should not be the first one copied by the Four Fighting Gods.

Kikyo saw some black and gray remains next to this clone, which indicated that other clones had been born in earlier years.

But then something went wrong and they were all destroyed by the Four Fighting Gods.

Yes, with her qualifications and talents, it is easy to copy but too difficult to control. The Four Fighting Gods are not qualified yet.

As a priestess of the Heavenly Dao, there is a considerable amount of spirituality in her blood. As long as she comes into contact with spiritual power, her qualifications will come into play. Even if she is a clone, she will grow quickly and absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth, thereby gaining powerful strength.

Either the replica will self-destruct due to its incompleteness, or one of the replicas will withstand the baptism of spiritual power, but because the spiritual power is too strong, it will backfire on the Four Fighting Gods.

But the Four Fighting Gods needed to open the jade box, and they couldn't do without their own copies, so they had to find another way.

For example, guiding the replica to develop in another direction, not taking the path of spiritual power, but developing physical potential, strengthening the body, and becoming a pure melee witch.

And now this one is the one that best suits the Four Fighting Gods’ wishes and is also the most perfect replica.

"Come on, my clone, let Garo see the fighting style of the priestess from ancient times." Kikyo said with a smile, waved her hand, and cheered herself, looking like she was enjoying it.

"Don't you feel insulted?" Jialuo took a look at Kikyo's clone. Except for the clothes, everything else was exactly the same. She was also wearing armor that clearly revealed her waist curve and her chest was bulging.

He couldn't help but frown slightly.

Kikyo chuckled and asked, "Then will you admit your mistake?"

Jialuo didn't continue speaking. He snorted coldly and looked at the clone Kikyo who was rushing towards him again.

Her steps were light and silent as she rose and fell, stepping on the ground one after another. Her movement speed was very fast and her movements were extremely graceful. The tip of the sword cut across the ground, cutting a straight line.

She held the sword in one hand, and with amazing arm strength, she lifted it up, then slashed at Gala with the sword tip.

But her movements were too simple, and she had no experience in battle. Jialuo jumped to the left, avoiding the edge and letting the sword fall to the ground. The power of her heavy sword penetrated the front, cracking the ground, stopping the waterfall, and cutting off half of the mountain.

Garo glanced at this power and without stopping, attacked from the left, landed next to the copy of Kikyo, put his right hand on its shoulder, and then squeezed it gently.
