My wife's name is Platycodon

But it was too late. The sharp pain in his hand constantly reminded Inuyasha to avoid the blood of Hades Shura.

In his perception, the hand seemed to have touched something poisonous, and the epidermis was corroded as if it was burned, but fortunately his own bloodline was of extremely high level and his skin was thick, so it was not unbearable. It was just that the five sharp nails became more colorful, flashing the luster of white jade.

The Asura of the Underworld took a look at the calf that was missing a piece of flesh, bloody and sunken, but he didn't care.

Inuyasha's fighting instinct is truly amazing, and he can seize any opportunity.

The point is not his grasp of the timing, but his courage to do so.

If he can remain awake and maintain this state of consciousness, then his strength will definitely be the strongest monster that the Asura of the Underworld has ever seen, and he will also be at the top among all the monsters.

Unfortunately, he couldn't do that, because human nature and demon blood were in conflict.

Inuyasha's body is unable to bear the awakening of the demon blood in his body, and now the power is backfired and his mind is taken away. If left alone, he will completely lose himself overnight, and even Kagome will be powerless to save the situation.

After noticing the advantages and disadvantages of Inuyasha's state, Hades Shura lost interest.

He was not interested in the story behind Inuyasha. Every half-demon had a past and background that was too painful to look back on. As a symbol of the combination of human and demon, there was no place for them to go.

He also encountered several half-demons. Although he did not take their lives, he did not lend a helping hand.

The Asura of the Underworld took the initiative to attack, pointed his toes, leaped high, and killed like a cannonball.

When he reached a height of three meters, he looked down from above and threw out a punch without any fancy moves. The dull and powerful wind from his punch gathered in a space, overpowering the enemy with his force, leaving no room for the enemy to turn around or maneuver, and forcibly creating a situation of power confrontation.

If Inuyasha were awake, he would surely be in great pain. He would probably feel like a mountain was pressing down on him. If he tried to escape, he would definitely be crushed to death. The only way out is to struggle to break the mountain in the sky.

Although he has lost his mind now, he has done the right thing at the first moment.

That means raising your fist and striking!

boom!

Where the two fists met, an invisible wave was generated. With the two fists as the standard, the air flow rolled back and spread wildly to a radius of dozens of meters.

Inuyasha maintained his fighting posture, and he suddenly became shorter, with the part below his knees sunk deep into the ground, and inconspicuous cracks spread all over his body for a dozen feet.

After failing to hit the target, the Asura from the Underworld flew backwards, his straight body spinning in the air, drawing a graceful arc. The moment his feet landed on the ground, he attacked again!

He has always been in the upper hand, being able to attack or defend. Although Inuyasha's fighting instinct is sharp, he lacks wisdom and cannot even use the most basic Soul-scattering Claws. Close biting and clawing are his most direct methods of attack.

As such, he relies heavily on his physical fitness. With his superb speed, strength, and the most essential fighting methods, he can crush the enemy in all directions. This means that once he encounters an enemy with stronger qualities than him, he will be useless and will be greatly constrained. He needs to keep a safe distance at all times and wait for an opportunity to act.

But then again, it's hard to find a monster that can match Inuyasha in this state.

He indeed reacted quickly. He determined the direction of the Hades Shura's attack and was unwilling to passively take the beating. Just as he was about to jump up and intercept the attack from the air, his body suddenly sank and an inexplicable pressure descended upon him. A normal monster would have probably lost the ability to move at this moment.

The Hades Shura possesses demonic power, which comes from the demon blood he bathes in. Over time, enough demonic power has been accumulated in his body, but he has always been unable to control it. He has studied it carefully and developed this special ability.

The essence is to overwhelm the enemy with force, lock the enemy's spirit and energy, leaving him with no way to escape and forcing him to fight head-on. This is the starting move, and there is a whole set of combined defense and attack afterwards.

But Inuyasha had suffered a loss once, so when the Hades Shura approached this time, he was already prepared and didn't even think of running away.

Fists and feet collided, strong winds blew and tore the air.

Neither of them showed any signs of retreating. In the stalemate, a sharp claw grabbed Hades Shura's face, but he raised his head to avoid it. He swept his left leg across and kicked Inuyasha's legs apart, making him lose balance. He briefly gathered strength and punched Inuyasha in the chest.

Inuyasha flew sideways and rolled three times on the grass, his whole body was covered with grass debris, but the monster's tough body soon stopped its momentum. He chopped vertically with his right claw, adding demonic power to it, which greatly increased its power. The red demon claw only tore a ten-meter-long gully on the ground.

Hades Shura dodged, tiptoed, and came to Inuyasha's side. His moves were simple, but very effective, otherwise it would not have taken so many years.

His right leg was filled with murderous intent, chopped down like a battle-axe, carrying with it a strong gust of air, but Inuyasha narrowly avoided it.

But the ground was subjected to an explosive force, as if it had been hit by an artillery fire, which blew up a large area of ​​soil and formed a crater with a radius of two meters.

The fist of the Hades Shura is unmatched and as sharp as a blade. Every time it swings, the high-intensity air pressure generated will cut the surroundings.

Inuyasha used his demonic power to amplify himself, and after awakening his demon blood, his physical fitness was greatly enhanced. He was not afraid of pain, and his injuries healed quickly.

under night.

There was a constant rumbling sound, as if two giant beasts were wrestling with each other, causing the earth to tremble continuously. From time to time, a red slash would burst out in the darkness, cutting the earth apart.

The entire grassland was regarded as a battlefield. The fighting intensity was extremely high and the process was fierce, with the entire grassland moving as the fighting shifted.

The Asura of the Underworld wanted to end the battle quickly and launched a violent attack like a storm.

Although he could only take a beating, Inuyasha held on for dozens of minutes thanks to his strong physique.

Fists and kicks collided, leaving afterimages and canceling each other out.

The collision shock waves oscillate back and forth.

The landscape was almost destroyed, the grasslands were destroyed, and the small creatures that originally lived here left their homes.

The dark clouds dispersed, and the clear light fell. Inuyasha remained in the same posture as he had last fought with Hades Shura.

His eyes were unfocused, the demonic marks on his cheeks disappeared, and he fell into an unconscious state.

Chapter 60: If I were still alive

The battle was over, Hades Shura retracted his fist, stood up straight, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Inuyasha fell to the ground due to lack of support.

This is a battle with no gain.

But if it was a life-and-death fight, the result would be known in three minutes at most - Inuyasha would die in his hands.

This body, which has been tempered and strengthened by the blood of many monsters, has a strong restraint against monsters.

Hades Shura bent down, picked up the exhausted Inuyasha, and carried him on his shoulder.

The grassland is now full of potholes, as if it was destroyed by a hurricane.

The Asura of the Underworld walked steadily and slowly disappeared into the jungle.

……

boom!

The house was brightly lit, and the door was suddenly kicked open. Qibao jumped up reflexively. Maitreya, who was sitting on the mat wiping the staff in his hand, also looked over.

This is a house that Grandma Feng specially arranged for them.

Inuyasha went to see Kagome off and never returned, only Granny Kaede came back with Tessaiga.

After learning about the situation, the two couldn't sleep at all, but waited here in fear.

Now there is finally news, but the one who came back was not Inuyasha, but Hades Shura standing at the door, his monster body covered in blood, bright and tempting, his eyes are captivating, his black hair is disheveled, and he carries a bloody figure on his shoulders.

"Inu... Inuyasha..." Shippo was a little dumbfounded.

Although he often had conflicts with Inuyasha, Shippo had to admit that Inuyasha was indeed the strongest half-demon he had ever seen, even stronger than many pure-blooded monsters.

The result is self-evident. Inuyasha was defeated and was carried back. And seeing that he didn't move at all, it couldn't be...

Shippo covered his mouth in disbelief, his face dazed, and said: "I'm so stupid. If I knew Kagome was here, Inuyasha wouldn't seek death, but I didn't expect that this would happen after Kagome left. Inuyasha, I didn't expect you to die so tragically. Miroku and I will burn your bones and carry them with us. When we encounter danger, we will scatter them..."

It had a grudge against Inuyasha, mainly because the dog often snatched food from the fox's mouth, and now it was getting its comeuppance. Seeing that he was unconscious, Shippo ridiculed him as much as he could, but he didn't have to worry about getting beaten anyway.

Miroku came over, his smile was very comforting, "Inuyasha, I'm sorry to trouble you again. Miss Kagome would definitely not want to see this situation."

He apologized sincerely and politely here, and Hades Shura threw Inuyasha over with one hand, and Miroku caught it and briefly checked his body.

Fortunately, all the parts were intact, with no missing limbs, he was just exhausted and unconscious.

A few days later, he was a hero again with the Tessaiga in his hand.

Miroku stuffed the Tessaiga placed in the corner into Inuyasha's arms. He heard from Grandma Kaede that the priestess Kikyo said that this sword could suppress Inuyasha's monster blood.

Although he had never seen Inuyasha's appearance, he could guess the degree of danger based on what Grandma Kaede said.

The Hades Shura said, "There won't be a second time!"

Miroku smiled widely, "I will tell Miss Kagome about this and I will make sure that this doesn't happen again."

Although beating a dog depends on the owner, the owner is also obligated to put a leash on the dog.

Hades Shura said nothing more and turned and left.

Behind him, Miroku reached out and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He had a very intimidating aura and was in a completely high-spirited state. Was fighting with Inuyasha just a warm-up exercise?

Next, Miroku checked Inuyasha's injuries. There were multiple fractures, ruptured blood vessels, and varying degrees of injuries everywhere. Although the injuries were serious, they were just commonplace for Inuyasha.

He couldn't help but think that if it weren't for the Miko Kikyo and Kagome, Inuyasha would have been dead.

I heard that the Hades Shura has been hunting powerful monsters, using the blood and souls of the killed to increase his own strength...

……

When Hades Shura passed through the forest and came to the shrine, he unexpectedly found Kikyo under the torii.

She stood on the stone-paved approach to the temple, her figure slender and graceful, revealing a peaceful profile. The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the water rippled. It must be that the heaven and earth gave all their radiance to make her body shine so clearly and brightly. When I looked away, the twilight behind her spread infinitely, from light to dark, and finally blended into one color at the end of the sky, covering the distant mountains and dark forests, as well as the torii, the shrine, and the bright moon, forming a beautiful background together.

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

Kikyo was looking at the distant sky, while Hades Shura was looking at the priestess at the bottom of the stairs. The two of them stood together in the night.

He did not choose to get closer, and the two were ten meters apart.

"Have you not rested yet?"

Kikyo didn't turn around, but still smelled the faint smell of blood.

"You are hurt, Hades Shura."

"After Inuyasha's demon blood awakens, it possesses great power."

"It's not easy for you to say the word 'very strong'."

"I don't claim to be invincible."

"Yes, that's who you are." Kikyo seemed to be talking to herself.

After a long period of silence, light footsteps were heard and faded away along with the smell of blood. The Hades Shura had left, and there was no one behind her.

Kikyo looked back and seemed to vaguely see the Asura of the Underworld standing there hesitantly.

"Underworld Shura, what exactly did you want to say? Why didn't you say anything in the end?"

"The battle with Inuyasha has awakened your dormant blood and suppressed your murderous intent. Although you didn't kill Inuyasha, you must want to leave here." Kikyo faced the bright moon alone, her frail body seemed to be filled with infinite melancholy.

"But now it seems that my beautiful body is quite attractive to you."

Dead soul worms came from the night sky, five white worms holding dead souls, their slender white bodies wrapped around Platycodon.

The sound of mournful wails flowed out, resounding and melodious. It was unclear whether it was the girl's ghost crying, or the dead soul worms chirping instinctively.

A small insect came in front of Platycodon, spread its six legs, and its dead soul fell gently, finally stopping at Platycodon's fingertips.

The white dead soul emitted a soft light, carrying the infinite sorrow of the deceased, and reached Kikyo's heart.

"I broke free from my own fate, broke through my own obsession, let go of my hatred for Inuyasha, and also let go of the regrets of my own death, and threw myself into the destiny of my own choice..."

"But, how can I be redeemed by relying on these dead souls, relying on these false souls!"

There was a hint of indescribable complexities in her cold eyes.

"Underworld Shura, if I had met you fifty years ago..."

"If I were still alive..."

She felt unwilling, bitter and depressed, and found it difficult to let go.

This is not about being full of sorrow and resentment towards one's past, but rather a strong rejection of one's current dead body.

Chapter 61: Get Out of My Sight

It was a long night and it was hard to fall asleep.

In the early morning, the red sun rises and the morning glow quickly spreads from the end of the horizon.

The morning mist melted away in the light, but the fresh air was refreshing, and birds were flying nimbly among the woods.

Kagome carried a heavy schoolbag and was led by Grandma Kaede. The two of them walked up the stairs to the shrine on the hillside.

She spent a night in her own time, enjoying modern conveniences, taking a bath to refresh herself, wearing pajamas, lying on a large soft bed, feeling more comfortable than ever before.

However, because she had something on her mind, she woke up at dawn and her mother had already prepared everything Kagome needed.
