This insidious and cunning method is simply disgusting.

The Hades Asura didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Naro, you really don't know how to live or die. I'm afraid you have targeted me more than once or twice. You hid yourself so deeply that after I grew up, I never encountered a monster with the same aura as you. Are you worried that I will notice it?"

"After all, you set a trap and teamed up with those monsters to kill me miserably! It's normal for you to be afraid of my revenge afterwards. You have been avoiding me all this time, right?"

Naraku was not a cynic, and spoke in a very gentle tone: "I just took advantage of the monster's hatred towards you and provoked you a little. Just like the monster-killing village this time. They have killed countless monsters for generations, and used the monster's bones to make weapons and armor. It is normal to attract the monster's revenge."

Kikyo smiled disdainfully: "Your ugly face makes me laugh, Naraku. You came here for the Four Souls Fragments. But you put yourself out of the matter and stand on the high ground. Don't you feel cold?"

She stood there, graceful and elegant, holding a longbow, pinching the arrow feathers, and said coldly: "The four soul fragments are in the room behind me, there are five pieces in total."

The Demon-Hunting Village knew the origin of the Four Souls Jade. When the jade was shattered, it caused strange changes in various places. In order to prevent humans from being harmed, the demon hunters took the initiative to collect the fragments of the Four Souls. However, so far, due to the lack of means to find the fragments of the Four Souls, only five pieces have been collected.

"Naraku, you want to get the Four Souls Jade, right? You have been longing for this jade since you were born."

Naraku did not lose his composure when his desire was exposed. Instead, he sneered, "If that's the case, then I don't have to pretend anymore!"

Chapter 39: Bright Moon and Ancient Well

His lower body swelled, stretching out the baboon's fur, revealing a dozen tree-root-like tentacles, and Naraku rose into the air like an octopus.

Four of the strong tentacles, under Naraku's control, rushed towards the Shura of the Underworld.

The eyes of Hades Shura suddenly turned cold: "I think you are tired of living!"

He did not dodge and rushed forward without fear. His physical strength was his greatest advantage, even the ghosts could not match him. How could he retreat in this situation?

He planted his feet firmly and resisted Naraku's tentacles' thrusts at the first moment of contact, holding the four tentacles tightly with both hands.

The muscles on the back of the Hades Asura were tense, and in a posture like pulling up a weeping willow, he pulled his left foot back, ten centimeters deep. The force started from his feet, reached his waist, and was released from his shoulders, twisting all his strength into one force.

"Come down!"

He roared, and an irresistible force was transmitted from the four tentacles. Naraku could not maintain his own center of gravity, and he was pulled over.

During this time, the remaining tentacles reacted at this moment and attacked Hades Shura together. When Hades Shura used his feet to exert force and had no space for his hands, they wrapped around him tightly like a python, like a cocoon.

"Are you tickling me?"

The words of Hades Shura came, without any panic.

Naraku chuckled, and suddenly a large amount of purple poisonous miasma surged out of the baboon's fur. As soon as it touched the ground, the soil turned grayish white, and the flowers and plants withered almost instantly.

Whoosh!

Before the miasma reached the place where Shura was in the underworld, a magic-destroying arrow attacked. It contained Kikyo's powerful and clear spiritual power, and purified all the miasma almost instantly. It pierced through Naraku's neck without any loss of force, and separated Naraku's head and body.

After Naraku's head was cut off, the tangled tentacles stopped moving, and then exploded, and Hades Shura walked out unharmed.

His eyes were deep: "Naraku is not dead."

The baboon fur wrapped around the headless corpse collapsed as if it had shrunk, just as everyone was observing Naraku's body.

The Asura of the Underworld leaped up and punched the head that was still flying in the air.

At this moment, the head changed strangely. Six insect wings pushed open the baboon hood from both sides, revealing Naraku's true face. It was actually the face of an elegant nobleman with seaweed-like hair. Although only the head was left, the handsome face was still quite charming.

The insect flapped its wings and changed direction with Naraku's head, avoiding the punch of Hades Shura.

"Underworld Shura, that's why I hate your terrible fighting instinct..."

"Did you leave?"

The Asura of the Underworld remained expressionless, he turned his waist, and swept across with his right leg as strong as steel.

boom!

The entire head exploded and turned into a blood mist that scattered all over the sky.

"Something's wrong!"

The Asura of the Underworld became alert, because under the intentional or unintentional guidance of Naraku, he had arrived above the flesh and blood of those monsters.

And Naraku's broken flesh seemed to have life, and it was attracted to the flesh and blood of all the monsters like a magnet. Then suddenly all the flesh and blood squirmed and took shape again. It turned into a big net of flesh and blood, and it bounced like a conditioned reflex, trapping the Hades Shura again.

These large nets of flesh and blood, made up of the tendons and bones of hundreds of monsters, look quite resilient.

The eyes of the Hades Shura turned blood red, and he growled as if possessed by a lion or tiger, with his hands raised high, his black hair dancing wildly, and he actually tore the net into pieces while being wrapped up.

"I'm going to tear you apart!"

The Shura of the Underworld had a terrifying look in his eyes. He turned his head suddenly and swept his left palm across, causing a strong airflow to sweep out and lift up the location of Naraku's headless corpse.

The flat white fur fluttered in the wind. Naraku's body was gone, replaced by a huge hole in the ground, dark and leading to nowhere.

Although Kikyo didn't sense anything, as soon as she saw the hole in the ground, she immediately turned around with her bow in hand.

It's too late, but it's soon.

Behind Kikyo were a group of villagers who were hunting demons. Before they could react, they saw Kikyo pointing an arrow at them.

They were shocked, but in such a short time, they had no time to do anything.

The witch's eyes turned into the color of glass at this moment, as if she was looking through the void. She did not shoot the arrow immediately, but waited silently.

About 0.5 seconds later, Kikyo's eyes suddenly changed, and the Demon-Destroying Arrow flew out of her hand, piercing through the bodies of three demon-killer villagers one after another, and then sank into the demon-killer's sacrificial house.

Almost at the same time, it seemed as if a bomb had exploded inside the entire house.

A powerful explosion resounded throughout the demon-hunting village, almost razing the entire house to the ground, and the shock wave forced all the villagers to lie prone on the ground.

"Naraku!"

Kikyo let out a clear whistle, her black hair fluttering, her red hakama fluttering, her eyes shining with a captivating light, she stood on the ground, like a fairy descending from heaven, her grace and beauty unparalleled in the world.

With the determination to kill, she drew five arrows from the quiver again, and then put them all on the bowstring. With the bowstring fully drawn, the five arrowheads shone with pure spiritual power.

The violent explosion in the sacrificial house caused billowing smoke, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

But in Kikyo's eyes, the five bright spots in the sky shining with evil light were clearer than ever before.

"Suffer to death!"

Five arrows were fired at the same time and sank into the smoke and dust. Then all the dust stopped for a moment and was completely dispersed.

"Ah!" Naraku's unbelievable scream was heard, but it quickly disappeared.

I saw five pieces of broken jade and five arrows colliding in the air. The divine power attached to the arrow heads instantly purified the evil spirits and souls hidden in the broken jade.

Then they all lost power and fell down.

At this time, the Asura of Hades jumped up and grabbed five arrows in his hands.

Kikyo also stretched out her hand and took all five pieces of the Four Souls Jade.

She looked at the broken jade in her hand that was emitting crystal light, and she chuckled: "So that's how it is, I understand the nature of Naraku."

The Hades Shura came up from behind her, his expression calm: "Naraku is not dead yet."

Kikyo glanced at him and frowned. The blood vessels in the arms of Hades Shura had burst and blood was gushing out. The two bloody arms were very scary, especially the right arm with five arrows, which had been slightly deformed.

"He is indeed not dead, this is just his main body. But Hades Shura, how long can you hold on like this?"

"I gained a powerful recovery ability from the monster..."

"Shut up, you're not allowed to move now!"

Kikyo's brows were sharp and he shouted harshly.

She had just killed Naraku. Although he didn't die, it could be considered revenge. Now she was in a very excited mood, and all the gloom was gone. In addition, she knew that Hades Shura's arms were seriously injured, so her attitude became very stern at this moment.

Normally, Kikyo's gentle and bright personality was not enough to support her strong approach. In addition, she was not an ordinary girl and knew how to control her emotions. Even though she was upset after what happened just now, she would not easily scold others.

But when facing the Asura of the Underworld, she naturally showed this attitude.

The Hades Shura was choked and could not speak for a long time.

He didn't take his injuries seriously, thinking he would be fine after a few days of rest, but he was angry in his heart, wondering if this woman had lost her mind.

But seeing Kikyo's stern look, Hades Shura didn't say a word.

He silently watched Kikyo get gauze and herbs from the demon hunter. The demon hunter always had a lot of treatment supplies and had some knowledge about herbs and healing. After all, one becomes a doctor through long-term injuries.

Kikyo asked Hades Shura to sit on a piece of broken wood and treated his injuries with skillful techniques. First, she wiped the blood off his left arm with clean water, then applied herbal medicine that felt cool to the touch, and finally wrapped it with gauze.

The process is smooth and the movements are clean.

After finishing the treatment, Kikyo turned around, came to the right side of Hades Shura, knelt down, and began to treat Hades Shura's right arm. This arm was very troublesome, with a slight deformation, and had suffered two serious injuries. If it were an ordinary person, it would basically be useless.

Kikyo pinched the arm bone of Hades Shura, looked up and saw that Hades Shura was frowning slightly. She judged the extent of the fracture by the feel. The deformation was relatively easy to deal with, but the joints were a little dislocated.

Kikyo reattached Hades's arm, performed bone corrections, and tied a wooden board to prevent the broken bones from shifting.

During this process, Hades Shura said nothing. Kikyo looked very serious and focused on what was in front of her. Her originally serious expression slowly disappeared. Her hands were bandaged, and she didn't even have time to deal with the hair hanging down by her ears.

Hades Shura raised his bandaged left hand and gently tucked her hair behind her ear.

Kikyo looked up suddenly, seeming a little surprised.

Their eyes met, and the clear eyes shone into those deep pupils.

It's like the bright moon reflecting in an ancient well.

On this rather uneasy night, in the demon-hunting village that was set on fire by fireworks and was almost in ruins, people were coming and going, taking care of the wounded, busying themselves, creating a lively scene.

All the noise gradually faded away from my ears, and the colorful background became blurred.

In this infinitely blank world, everything no longer exists, and it seems that only each other's eyes are left.

Chapter 40: Two People’s Thoughts

There was a scream in her ear, a demon hunter accidentally touched the wound. Kikyo suddenly woke up and immediately turned her head away from the Hades Shura.

Hades Shura couldn't see Kikyo's expression, and he also woke up.

Although I was out of the atmosphere just now, my heart was beating wildly for no reason.

Kikyo had already stood up, and before leaving, she whispered, "Just stay quiet, I'll go check on their injuries."

After she finished speaking, she left in a hurry, not giving Hades Shura a chance to speak. Her back looked very panicked, as if she was being chased by a ferocious beast, and she almost sprained her leg in the process.

As Hades Shura watched Kikyo leave, a familiar feeling of irritation surged in his heart.

He leaned against the ruins behind him and thought carefully. He had a very strange feeling just now, an emotion he had never experienced before flowing in his heart. It was not joy and happiness, but a special sense of peace and tranquility. In Kikyo's twinkling eyes, he saw the bright moon, hanging high in the sky, out of reach, but when the moon fell into the well, it became friendly and warm.

He tried to describe this feeling with appreciation and admiration, treating Kikyo as a teammate who was capable, not a drag, decisive, intelligent, and could be relied upon at all times.

But even though Hades Shura had no comrades, he still knew that this should not be a normal feeling towards his comrades.

Am I abnormal or am I abnormal in my feelings?

Hades Shura fell into deep thought, analyzing all his emotions, and only one answer appeared in his eyes.

Is he in love with Kikyo?

He didn't know when he fell in love with the witch who had a strong self and was outstanding in all aspects.

He thought he would never experience this kind of feeling in this lifetime.

Because in the chaotic times of the Warring States Period, no one knew how much effort and willpower a child would have to put in to survive after losing his parents and family at a young age.

If he had a keyboard, he could still type and criticize people, but without a keyboard, he could do nothing.

Without skills and professional knowledge, everything he has learned is useless in this era.

Coming to this era alone, it is not that he has surpassed the times, but that the times have abandoned him.

His background and cognition even became an obstacle. Holding on to the last bit of pride as a time traveler, he could not kneel down. The longer he struggled, the more he longed to break free from the power of the current society and break through the barriers so that he could do whatever he wanted without having to look at anyone's face.

The system provided this opportunity, allowing him to become powerful while staying away from the crowd, and always enjoying awe and freedom.

Under such circumstances, the Asura of Hades would naturally not desire illusory love, as it would be nothing more than a burden to himself who has unlimited room for advancement.

This is an era where separation of life and death is commonplace.

Shura of the Underworld slowly recalled his past memories, and he was a little confused.
