My wife's name is Platycodon

He put Kikyo down, and Kikyo stood still and observed the situation, then casually grabbed a white baboon hair from the air. This was the remnant of the attack from Hades Shura just now, and it was probably the only hair left.

But considering its power, it's a blessing that this hair is left.

She pinched the white hair in her hand, closed her eyes and sensed it for a moment, and then told the Asura of the Underworld.

"This is Naraku's puppet!"

She took two steps forward, looked around, and laughed coldly: "You should still be watching, Naraku!"

A timely response came from the southeast. A Naraku wearing baboon fur suddenly appeared. He squatted on a tree and wrapped himself tightly, so that his true appearance could not be seen. "Kikyo, you have become much smarter."

Kikyo looked calm, looked directly at Naraku, and said, "Are you referring to this childish trick of yours?"

Naraku remained silent and motionless: "But for Inuyasha and the others, this seems to be enough!"

There was a rustling sound in the forest, and dozens of tentacles that looked like tree roots appeared from the lush tree canopy, with Inuyasha, Coral, Miroku, Shippo and Kirara hanging on them.

In a very short time, they seemed to be completely wiped out.

No, there's one person missing...

The rustling sound came from the left again. Kagome escaped from the bushes with fear still on her face. When she saw the fog that had troubled her dissipate, she sensed the spiritual power burst of Kikyo, which almost instantly purified Naraku's sorcery, and then she rushed over following the noise made by the Hades Shura just now.

"Kikyo, Brother Shura!" After seeing the two of them, Kagome felt safe. What happened just now made her shocked and scared, and she wanted to meet the two of them as soon as possible.

But above the ground, those dark-colored tentacles disguised as vines and tree roots suddenly sprang up, blocking Kagome in front of them like life, forming a fence-like obstacle.

Kagome couldn't help but step back. Coral was pulled away by these things, but she failed to save Coral. Now she is very traumatized by these strange things.

At this time, the eyes of Hades Shura were cold, and his gaze was as sharp as a sword. He said, "Naraku, you want to attack me in front of me!?"

Although there was no action, these words gave people a chill to the bones. Black mist seeped out of the surface of Hades Shura's body, and one after another the souls of monsters poured out of his body and began to poke their heads out to the outside world.

The numerous blood-red monster eyes in the black fog convey multiple meanings of desire and pain.

They crave the flesh and blood of the living and... the souls of their companions!

Just being looked at like this is chilling.

Although Naraku remained calm, he knew very well that Hades Shura was serious. The moment he made a move, Hades Shura would kill his body. Even if more Narakus wearing baboon fur appeared, Hades Shura would continue to kill them without showing any mercy.

By then, these actions will be meaningless.

"Kagome, come here!" Kikyo's voice was clear. Naraku's arrival made her feel very bad, and at this moment her voice was like cold spring water.

I want to go over too... Kagome looked at the tentacles that were twisting and shaking like vines in front of her with a look of disgust, but she didn't delay for too long. She picked up a branch, held it in her hand, and pushed away the tentacles in front of her.

The process was simpler than Kagome had imagined. The tentacles did not react excessively but separated obediently, as if they had no interest in her.

She trotted all the way to the side of Hades Shura and Kikyo. Due to the perspective, she didn't see her companions hanging in the air. But standing here, she could see clearly that Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sango were all unconscious, but their faces showed extremely uncomfortable expressions, as if they had a nightmare.

Even Qibao is like this.

Kagome was shocked and angry at the same time, and looked at Naraku very angrily: "Naraku, what did you do, put Inuyasha and the others down!"

But to Naraku, Kagome's anger had no oppressive power at all.

He was actually very curious about Kagome's origins. Who was this girl who looked so similar to Kikyo and also possessed the same spiritual power to break demons?

He asked himself, "My magic doesn't work on you. Is it because you carry the Four Souls Jade?"

Kikyo taunted Naraku with contempt, "How can your dark and evil magic control Kagome? Your method of attacking people's shortcomings is useless to Kagome, Naraku!"

As long as there are no flaws in one's heart, Naraku's magic will have no effect. It was not others who caused Inuyasha and his companions to fall into a coma, but the fear in their own hearts.

"As long as you are entangled by those vine-like things, your soul will be lost and fall into a mental dilemma." Kikyo was very calm, and every word she spoke struck Naraku's heart.

"Naro, I'm right, right?"

Kikyo, you can actually see through the true nature of my witchcraft in an instant... Naraku was slightly moved, and even had the illusion that he was seen through, but he quickly calmed down.

This kind of magic cannot be used against a truly strong person, so it’s no big deal even if Kikyo sees through it.

So he directly confessed: "Phantom Kill, this is a magic I developed, which can seize the defects of human mind!"

The expressions of the people who were hung up became more and more painful, as if they were trapped in a deeper nightmare and unable to extricate themselves. Kagome saw it and felt anxious.

But there was nothing she could do at the moment and she could only hope that the Asura of the Underworld could save her companions.

"I don't think you want to use this against me and Hades Shura!" Kikyo remained calm and glanced at the vine tentacles that were slowly crawling on the ground.

The moment those things touched the Asura of the Underworld, they were rebounded by the demonic power and suddenly turned into ashes.

Platycodon's ritual is very useful. The four vertical and five horizontal method restrains the chaotic demonic power in the body, unifies it, completes the path, and circulates endlessly, making it easier to control.

In the past, this method would not have been possible.

The dark-haired Shura of Hades had a shawl on his shoulders, and his strong and strange body was emitting a faint black mist. He did not even look at the situation under his feet, and said in a cold voice: "Naraku, are you provoking me?"

Naraku has a very elegant attitude. Although he has a despicable personality, he is just a pretty face. Just by using words, he can create the image of a polite and noble gentleman in people's minds.

"I can't control my magic either. These things that grow out of my body will be attracted to people with dark hearts. It seems that your heart is darker than I thought, Hades Shura. Even though they are afraid of your power, they still instinctively move closer to you."

What he said was true, but Hades Shura disagreed.

"What is darkness? Is it up to you to decide?"

"You have a new body and you dare to show off in front of me. Do you think you are so strong?!"

The Hades Shura was very strong. He pointed at Naraku and humiliated him mercilessly: "Who do you think you are? How dare you touch my heart? You look like a piece of mud. I want to vomit when I see you. I don't want to cause trouble to you now. Get out of here!"

Seeing Naraku being pointed at and scolded, Kagome felt much better.

Naraku's sinister and terrifying image had accumulated a lot of pressure in her heart. Now she felt relieved and happy. Kagome's eyes were full of little stars when she looked at Hades Shura.

And Naraku knew very well that now was not the time to turn against Hades Shura. In fact, he had a strong self-esteem, but he could endure the humiliation of Hades Shura because Hades Shura had no status in his heart. Although he was a strong enemy, that was all.

Naraku has many enemies. To be honest, everyone here can say that he has basically offended all of them. He even dared to use Seshomaru and was not afraid of the latter's pursuit at all.

Although he couldn't defeat Seshomaru and Hades Shura, these two people couldn't do anything to him.

At this time, Kikyo asked: "Naraku, why are you here?"

She was puzzled by Naraku's arrival. According to the current situation, Naraku was simply seeking death by coming here.

Seize the Four Souls Jade? That's unlikely. She and Kagome both have the ability to detect the Four Souls fragments. Even if Naraku takes the fragments, he can't escape.

Moreover, Naraku did not seem to want to kill Kagome, and he did not have much interest in the lives of Inuyasha and the others.

This guy and Hades Shura are two extremes.

Mingfu Shura is direct and decisive. He knows how to fight for what he wants. He never hides or drags his feet. He can always change his lifestyle according to what he wants. Once something is determined, he will never change it, but these are just appearances. Kikyo has always felt that the most commendable thing about Mingfu Shura is that he can face his own weaknesses and feelings.

Yes, the feelings he had for me would never waver. Even if he was dead, even if he was not from the same world, he would not be confused at all, but would accept and persist...

But Naraku is different. His ugly soul would rather see human pain and struggle. Compared to killing, he prefers to torture and destroy, completely destroying a person's heart.

Therefore, Kikyo couldn't understand why Naraku appeared.

"If I didn't come, how could you show up? I want to know, Kikyo, what exactly do you want to do!"

Naraku wanted to know the answer.

Why can Kikyo let go of the past without a care in the world?

Why doesn't Kikyo care about the Four Souls Jade?

Why can Kikyo... face him so calmly?

Fifty years ago, it was Naraku who killed Kikyo in order to seize the Shikon Jewel. The poor priestess was deceived by him and died in a sneak attack by Inuyasha, who was in disguise.

At that time, when he saw Kikyo and Inuyasha turning against each other, his soul was filled with pleasure and satisfaction.

He thought he had everything.

But when Kikyo died, his plan failed and he lost interest in it. He wasted his time and looked for fun aimlessly, but even so he couldn't fill the emptiness in his heart.

Kikyo, what on earth are you thinking about?

Why don't you seek revenge on me?

Even though I, your enemy, appear before you, are you completely uninterested?

With Naraku's wisdom, he could naturally see that Kikyo's purpose of letting go and allowing Inuyasha to search for the Shikon fragments was to speed up the process of reuniting the Shikon Jewel.

When the last piece appears, neither himself nor Inuyasha will be able to tolerate the other, and an unprecedented decisive battle will take place.

But, does Kikyo intend to stay in this shrine forever and never go out again?

He came here just to get the answer.

Kikyo was laughing. She knew Naraku's doubts, so she laughed very wantonly and happily.

"Hahaha, Naraku, you can be confused too. You don't seem as determined as I thought!"

She laughed happily, and then her expression suddenly became stern.

The laughter stopped!

"When I saw you like this, I suddenly felt that my death was worthless, and I no longer had any interest in you."

"Half-demon-Naraku!"

The moment the last sentence fell, Naraku's blood-red eyes changed, becoming very cold, releasing an extremely strong murderous intent in his eyes, as if his secrets had been touched upon, and his entire aura was unconsciously released.

Naraku is now in a very dangerous situation.

"What's wrong with me saying you're half-demon? Are you dissatisfied? Naraku, do you want to practice with us?" The Asura of the Underworld took a step forward and released his aura with the same unscrupulous spirit. The terrifying black fog spread out, and countless monster souls condensed into shape, hovering in the sky.

The horrifying scene frightened Kagome so much that she stepped back repeatedly. She never expected that the Hades Shura, who took good care of her, would have such a terrifying aura.

She traveled extensively with Inuyasha, and only Seshomaru could rival her.

Unexpectedly, Naraku ignored Hades Shura and kept his eyes on Kikyo. The contemptuous words of the half-demon almost made him lose his composure.

Chapter 71: Free Kikyo

His disguise was easily torn apart, and Naraku suddenly became very dangerous, exuding the breath of death.

He has an extremely strong self-esteem. As a collection of monsters, he has always considered himself perfect and powerful enough to devour all monsters.

He, Naraku, is a monster among monsters, not a lowly and humble half-demon.

How could a half-demon like Inuyasha be compared with himself?

However, Kikyo's nonchalant tone made Naraku feel pain far more intense than a dagger piercing his heart.

His tone was cold, and the murderous intent around him almost solidified into substance, forming a dark aura, "Kikyo, how dare you..."

Kikyo's expression was even more contemptuous, and she was full of sarcasm: "How can your ridiculous appearance hide from my eyes, Naraku, do you think you are perfect? ​​But what about your humanity mixed with monsters? Has the thought from the robber spider ghost polluted you? Could it be that it made you weaker?"

Although due to the perspective, Kikyo was looking up at Naraku on the tree, he looked more like he was encountering a poor creature hanging in the air.

"Hateful! Kikyo..." Naraku was already furious, his blood-red eyes easily reflected the figure of the priestess standing on the ground.

Kill this witch!

This was the only thought in Naraku's mind right now, and that pure murderous intent was so firm.

But he can't do it now. The moment he makes a move, he will definitely not escape the observation of the Asura of the Underworld.

With his strength, he was not enough to fight against this person. He could only find more fragments of the Four Souls, devour more monsters, and transform his body into a more powerful one...

Only in this way can I kill Kikyo and relieve the hatred in my heart!

Now, not only Kikyo, but even Hades Shura and Kagome could easily see that Naraku, who had always kept his emotions to himself, had lost his composure and his previous depth because of Kikyo's words "half-demon".

At this time, Kikyo suddenly turned around and looked at Kagome: "Kagome, give me the four soul fragments you collected!"

This request was too sudden. Kagome was stunned for a moment, then became very confused when she realized what was happening.

What does Kikyo want the Four Souls Jade for?

She grasped the four soul fragments hanging in front of her chest, and all the fragments condensed into one, but only one third of the number was gathered.

These are the fragments that she, Inuyasha, Miroku and others collected after going through life and death together.

Kagome's talent allows her to detect nearby Shikon fragments. She is a humanoid radar and has spiritual power to purify the Shikon Jade. Therefore, Inuyasha and Miroku both tacitly give the Shikon fragments to Kagome for safekeeping.

For this girl, this is not just a fragment of the Four Souls, but also Inuyasha's trust and entrustment.

She was a little hesitant. Although she had easily let Hades Shura take the Four Souls Fragments in his hands last time, she was still very nervous when she reacted. However, she also had an inexplicable trust in Hades Shura, the time traveler from the future, so she was not too worried.
