My wife's name is Platycodon

"Naraku, you lunatic..." Qu Ling was shocked and angry. Naraku had gone mad, but he couldn't say more and he couldn't speak anymore.

Suddenly, a monstrous demonic power erupted, the sky and the earth changed color, black demonic clouds rolled in, and spread madly in all directions from the Bailing Mountain. In an instant, the sky and the earth became bleak, and the wind howled.

Naraku's figure disappeared on the ground, and the entire Bailing Mountain also disappeared. Garo stood in the air, with a bottomless pit below him. He looked up.

I saw black clouds in a radius of hundreds of miles suddenly gathered and quickly formed a spider-like pattern. One of its furry legs was more than ten miles long. Its entire body was spread out, and it was impossible to count how big its body was. It was a huge monster floating in the air.

Chi! !

A magic-destroying arrow broke through the air, but it was too small and almost negligible compared to the spider's huge body. However, this arrow directly tore half of the spider's body.

The pure spiritual energy exploded with unparalleled power, like a grand firework, blasting half of Naraku's body into black mist.

Kikyo put down the bow in her hand and saw that the spiders gathered again. Naraku was extremely immortal and it was obvious that he had gained new abilities in Bailing Mountain. Now even her spiritual power could not completely destroy Naraku's body.

Thinking back to the vajra from before, the conclusion is obvious. In order to have the final battle with her, Naraku has been looking for a way to counter her spiritual power.

But now, even if he had obtained this ability, he didn't even have the consciousness to resist. What was the use of being strong?

Kikyo flew up and headed towards the giant spider in the sky.

"Kiyomi..." Jialuo suddenly stretched out her hand, as if to keep her.

Kikyo stopped, looked back and smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were like paintings, and she said softly: "Jia Luo, I am going to cut off my past. After this battle, I will no longer be bound."

Jialuo looked at Kikyo steadily and silently withdrew his hand. He just didn't want Kikyo to fight again, nor did he want her to be in danger again, but these words were a little difficult to say out loud.

"I wish you success in this battle." Jialuo said finally. This was Kikyo's fateful battle.

Kikyo was stunned for a moment, and then her smile became even wider. Her eyes were like crescent moons. It was a very sweet smile, and she nodded vigorously.

She rose into the sky without looking back, and finally came in front of the giant spider beast. With a touch of her finger, spiritual power created a channel, and Kikyo sank into it.

Although it looks like a spider, its interior is complex and must be made of the flesh and blood of Bai Lingshan. It contains profound magic power and is mixed with strong miasma and poison. No wonder her spiritual power cannot be completely purified.

As they moved forward, although some monsters showed up to block their way, they were all purified by Kikyo.

As Platycodon went deeper, a handsome young man appeared in front of him, holding a dogtail grass in his mouth, with his hands on the back of his head, looking lazy.

Kikyo passed by here and frowned slightly when she saw him, but quickly relaxed her brows.

Kikyo's words were very calm. She looked at Bai Ye and said, "You are also Naraku's clone."

"Dreamlike White Night, Naraku gave me this name." White Night said lazily. This time he came to see the gate as a line of defense to prevent the enemy from invading.

Naraku has many clones, but now the only one he can use is himself.

Strictly speaking, Bai Ye should have competed with Kikyo, but he gave up after thinking about it for a moment.

Anyway, Naraku is about to go bankrupt, so it doesn’t matter whether he listens to this final order or not.

Chapter 102: Living Towards Death

"Naraku has good taste." Kikyo nodded. Whether it was Kagura or Kanna, or Hakudouji and Byakuya in front of him, their looks and temperament were all extremely high.

But unfortunately, I can't reach Gala's level.

Bai Ye didn't expect Kikyo to say that. He shook his head and laughed, "That's probably the only advantage he has!"

He is Naraku's clone. Unlike Kagura and Hakudouji, he is deeply trusted by Naraku and has no interest in betraying Naraku. However, he also has other opinions about Naraku.

Naraku is very picky. His current image comes from Yin Dao, not for any other reason, but mainly because of Yin Dao's handsome appearance.

Even if she transforms into a woman, she must create the most beautiful appearance, otherwise how can she make Maitreya's grandfather fall in love with her.

But the reason why he has such high aesthetic standards naturally comes from Platycodon.

He had vaguely sensed that Naraku was always moving closer to Kikyo, but unfortunately he was too self-abased.

But it was not easy to say these words to Kikyo, nor was there any need to say them. Bai Ye smiled reservedly and said, "Since you are here, then Naraku will stop here."

Kikyo nodded without comment, and then said: "You seem to have an inseparable relationship with Naraku."

Bai Ye was very calm: "Because I am different from Kagura, Kanna and the others. They have real bodies and souls, but I am different. Our lives are connected. Once Naraku dies, I will die with him!"

So it’s similar to her relationship with butterflies and birds?

Kikyo understood, and seeing Bai Ye's indifferent look, she then asked, "You are not afraid of death."

Bai Ye smiled softly and said, "Life and death are like floating clouds to me."

He has a very quiet and inactive temperament, is extremely free and easy, takes life and death lightly, and naturally speaks the truth.

"Do you need me to take you in?" Bai Ye pointed to the complicated road conditions ahead, worried that Kikyo would get lost.

Kikyo smiled and said, "You are very interesting."

Bai Ye took the initiative to lead the way and said to Kikyo beside him: "In fact, I have always been curious about you, but unfortunately Naraku couldn't find you, and I had no chance to see you. Now that I see you, I understand why he is always obsessed with you."

"Pathetic obsession!" Kikyo shook her head. She only knew that her physical appearance and character were indeed attractive, but before Naraku and Garo, she had never thought that she would be liked because of these things.

"You don't have this awareness, Kikyo. You don't even know how fatally attractive you are to people like Naraku." Bai Ye couldn't help but shook his head.

If I have to describe it, Kikyo's existence is a pure land, she herself is light.

It was because Kikyo returned from the underworld that Naraku was like a chicken with its blood pumped up, and fought Kikyo with all his heart. However, Kikyo suddenly turned the table over halfway through the game, directly trampled on Spider Demon's desire, and denied Naraku's feelings in disguise. After that, she and Garo disappeared for many days, and Saisei was unable to find them.

It was during this period that Naraku became abnormal.

Kikyo said calmly: "So what? Don't take your feelings too seriously. If you can get good results just because you love someone, there wouldn't be so much suffering in the world!"

Bai Ye naturally understood what Kikyo meant. He couldn't let go and couldn't get what he wanted. This was the most pitiful side of Naraku.

"If he really is a monster who will do anything to achieve his goals, we clones will be able to feel a little more relaxed." Bai Ye sighed. Naraku likes to sit behind the scenes, control the overall situation, break up other people's feelings, and stir up hatred everywhere.

It can be said that if it were in the last era, such arrogance would have been beaten to death long ago.

That is to say, in today's era, when there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey is king. But Naraku is not a monkey, but a baboon.

But what makes people hate him is that Naraku only needs to sit in Naraku City and watch the process and the results, while it is only these clones who are busy running around.

"But unfortunately, Naraku is not like that, or rather, he simply cannot be completely ruthless and desireless. He is actually a very complicated person. In short, he is a rational madman." Bai Ye was too tired to complain when he talked about this. It was only Kikyo who would not have mentioned this to others.

Naraku is very good at calculating people's hearts, and his self-esteem is even stronger. Anyone who dares to criticize him will definitely suffer the consequences.

Fortunately, he is about to retire. Although his time in the world is very short, he is different from Kagura. He just goes with the flow and lives day by day.

"It looks like you guys are having a hard time too."

"Who made us come out of Naraku's body?" Although Bai Ye was complaining, his words and actions were very easy-going and he did not overreact at all.

The deeper they went, the thicker the miasma became, but both Kikyo and Byakuya ignored it. Eventually Byakuya brought Kikyo to the core area and met Naraku.

"Bai Ye, you betrayed me too?" Naraku looked at Bai Ye coldly.

Bai Ye didn't take it seriously and said cheerfully, "Don't say that. You also know Kikyo's strength, right? I accompanied her all the way here to talk. Isn't this longer than if I blocked her way and then got killed instantly?"

Kikyo looked around and said, "Naraku, is this the place you chose to bury yourself?"

"The battle has just begun." Naraku said.

Bai Ye curled his lips. Why pretend? He was clearly prepared to die. However, it was obviously not a wise choice to complain about the boss in person.

Naraku attached great importance to his reputation, and Kikyo didn't say much. His momentum changed, and countless Kikyo flowers bloomed. They took root in the void and shone brightly.

The abundant and pure spiritual energy originates from these gentian flowers and automatically spreads everywhere. Even if there is only one petal, it contains abundant power.

There is an obvious restraining relationship between spiritual power and demonic power. Although Naraku has found a way to resist spiritual power, he is still powerless against Kikyo's spiritual power.

However, his demonic power was too strong, and minor injuries were not fatal.

Looking from below, the body of the floating black spider was shaking violently, its surface was blurred from time to time, and it was emitting thick black fog, and poisonous miasma was leaking out.

Naraku was also resisting during this period. He wanted a perfect ending rather than waiting to die, but his efforts were of little use. All his magic had little effect on Kikyo, and he couldn't even break the protective shield.

That power of thought has the power to transform decay into magic, forming a unique domain, just like when Gala was in Bailing Mountain, his combat power was directly reduced by 50%.

Naraku was also greatly constrained, while Kikyo's spiritual power increased significantly.

This priestess is no longer as weak as she was when she was just resurrected. While she is collecting the fragments of the four souls, Kikyo is also strengthening her own soul.

But no matter what, Kikyo's speed in replenishing her soul is too outrageous.

After not seeing her for many days, Kikyo's soul is almost as strong as it was when she was alive.

And this is not the limit.

Naraku is not completely ignorant of the underworld. Although he doesn't know how Kikyo did it, he can more or less guess that Kikyo is using the rules of reincarnation to complete her own soul.

There was no need for reincarnation or resurrection, Kikyo walked out of the realm of death on her own.

Chapter 103: The Origin of the Four Souls Jade

Just over ten minutes after Kikyo left, the giant spider floating in the sky experienced a violent vibration and then quickly collapsed. A lot of miasma spread out and turned into thick purple mist!

Then a holy spiritual power surged out, quickly purifying all the miasma.

Naraku was defeated!

His body was illuminated by spiritual energy, and he had no intention of fighting. Now he looked withered and decayed, like a dried corpse. The Four Souls Jade fell out from his chest, floating in the air, shining brightly.

This jade flowed into other worlds, and then returned, going through many events, and finally fell into Kikyo's hands in its complete form.

And this time, Kikyo can finally unravel the cause and effect of the Four Souls Jade.

She couldn't do it before because she failed to resonate with Cui Zi's soul.

A spiritual light flashed at Kikyo's fingertips. She raised her hand to take the Four Souls Jade, and then continued to purify the evil and resentment inside, calling out to Tsuiko's soul.

The Qu Ling inside was terrified. Kikyo's spiritual power was too strong, far more powerful than that of other priestesses. It felt that its existence was about to disappear. Qu Ling represented the thoughts of all the monsters inside the Four Souls Jade. Like Naraku, it had its own intelligence and a strong desire to survive.

"If the Four Souls Jade disappears, Tsuiko's soul will collapse with it. If you respect her, you shouldn't do this."

Kikyo turned a blind eye and no matter what Qu Ling said, it was useless. She did respect Cui Zi, but because of this, she hoped that this respectable senior could be freed.

Only those who have been shrine maidens can understand this heavy fate and know Cui Zi's true wish.

And from deep within Zi Yingying's gem, tiny white lights began to flicker, rapidly expanding and swallowing up the evil light, until the Four Souls Jade eventually became half light and half dark.

Zhi Ling did not press on the victory, but achieved a delicate balance in the form of Tai Chi Yin and Yang.

Naraku opened his dry eyes. His demonic power was almost gone and his life had come to an end. Now he was just struggling in his death throes.

But he looked calm, looking at the Four Souls Jade that balanced good and evil, with an expression of fascination. He said with difficulty: "Is this the realm that you have been pursuing, Kikyo?"

"The Four Souls Jade is the crystallization of humanity. Senior Cuizi is too noble, and the monsters are too ugly." Kikyo said softly, only a balance and moderation can exist for a long time.

Too ugly?

Naraku smiled bitterly at this time. Kikyo was not talking about him, but he just felt that he was implied.

Even though he had taken over the appearance of Yin Dao, he still couldn't make Kikyo look at him straight in the eye...

Kikyo glanced at Naraku. She and Naraku were two very extreme people. If judged by the standards of the Four Souls Jade, the four souls of both of them were extremely powerful.

Unfortunately, the two people's positions and personalities destined their four souls to be diametrically opposed, just like the positive and negative sides.

However, Kikyo has to admit that as a positive character, her heart is also clouded. And although Naraku is a negative character, there is a trace of kindness in his seemingly evil behavior.

But this just illustrates the contradiction of human nature.

Faced with the Four Souls Jade, Kikyo finally got the answer to her long-standing thoughts.

"In this world, there are no people with flawless hearts, nor is there absolute evil. Human beings are inherently contradictory, and all good and evil lie in a single thought."

"Kikyo, you have seen so much and understood the root of human nature. You will definitely be very lonely in the future." Naraku said, his words were calm and without any waves.

Kikyo was stunned. She didn't sense any malice from Naraku. Was this guy actually feeling sad for her?

She shook her head: "I am not alone. When this is over, I will start a new destiny, a destiny completely different from that of the witch Kikyo."

"Is it Garo?" Naraku murmured.

Kikyo smiled unconsciously but did not answer.

"You broke free, but I drowned here. Is this also my own fault?"

"It's not your own fault. Naraku, there is only one reason for your failure, and that is you fell in love with me." Kikyo said without hesitation. This was not narcissism, but a statement of fact.

Naraku is destined to not win.

"Because of this, even if you still kill me, Jialuo will not seek revenge on you. I'm afraid you will soon find this world too boring and seek death."
