While she was still wondering, the two Kaedehara Manyo had already started fighting.

"How could this be?"

And just five seconds later, this brief battle was over.

Amidst gasps of disbelief, the green Maple Leaf was sliced ​​into five pieces by the real Maple Leaf and returned to the ground.

"Is this a 30/70 split?"

Kagome Higurashi looked shocked, as did Yukino Yukinoshita next to her.

However, Yin Kong also looked surprised and explained:

"It took three seconds to cut him into seven pieces, but unfortunately this guy was a little stronger than I estimated. So it took Wanye five seconds to cut him into Exodia. Now it's only a 50/50 split."

Kagome Higurashi was naturally shocked:

"Is that how this word is explained?"

Upon realizing that this naive girl seemed to have genuinely believed it, Yukino Yukinoshita immediately said helplessly:

"Of course it's impossible."

However, she now understood why Yin Kong acted so relaxed and even said that this guy was just a poor imitation.

"It's not over yet!"

During their conversation, "Maple Leaf" was reborn from the darkness.

Moreover, this time, it didn't rush up alone, but instead became two identical "Maple Leaf".

However, the gap remains significant.

Of course, because there was an extra opponent, Wan Ye had to put in a little more effort, taking six seconds to cut the two "Maple Leaf" pieces into four pieces.

"It's no use. Every death makes us stronger!"

Soon, the three "Maple Leaf" figures reappeared from the darkness, surrounding Manyo in the center.

"Does each death create a new clone?"

Inuyasha was somewhat surprised. If that were true, wouldn't this ability be a bit too abnormal?

Even if these fake Maple Leafs are less than a third as strong as the real one, as long as there are enough of them, even ants can kill an elephant, right?

"Of course it's impossible."

Ye Lan shook her head.

If that's the case, why would the other party need to specifically imitate Manyo?

Wouldn't it be better to just send the fake Kikyo to her death ten thousand times, and then unleash a barrage of arrows on them?

Therefore, this ability should also be subject to limitations.

"Look, those ordinary monsters that were surrounding us have disappeared."

In fact, after the fake Kikyo appeared, most of these weak monsters had already disappeared.

After one "Maple Leaf" after another appeared, they all disappeared without a trace.

Therefore, there should be an upper limit to the number and strength of the imitations that a demon can maintain at the same time.

"The reason for adding them one by one like this is probably a simple psychological tactic, to make the opponent feel desperate."

Just like Inuyasha, if you mistakenly believe that your opponents will increase infinitely, it would be hard not to feel panicked even if they are all far weaker than you.

Unfortunately, the demons seemed not to have anticipated that Kaedehara Manyo's strength was so exaggerated.

After the number of "Maple Leaf" increased to seven, their numbers stopped increasing, clearly indicating that they had reached their limit. However, Manyo could still eliminate these imposters as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

"Are you imitating my swordsmanship?"

Forced to play the role of fighting seven people at once, Wan Ye showed no panic whatsoever. Even after decapitating one of the "Maple Leafs," he still had the composure to question the other party, as if they were the ones being ganged up on.

Of course, this is indeed the case.

If it weren't for the fact that these "Maple Leaf Greens" could resurrect infinitely from the darkness, even with their numerical advantage, they would have been wiped out by Manyo long ago.

"So you've finally figured it out?" "Maple Leaf" sneered, saying smugly, "Your swordsmanship is indeed unparalleled, but every time you kill us, we record and figure out a bit more about you. Before long, it will belong to me."

"So that's it. This is your real purpose."

Maple Leaf Manye understood.

The fake Kikyo was actually the most powerful individual that this demon could imitate.

Of course, it only used Kikyo's appearance from Inuyasha's memories.

The fake Kikyo's fighting skills actually originated from the memories of the archers among the humans it devoured.

However, Kaedehara Manyo's physical abilities were not even a third as good as the fake Kikyo's, yet he was able to kill his opponent instantly with an absolute advantage.

With such power, how could it not be coveted?

However, Kaedehara Manyo's will was extremely firm, and he could not be swayed by it at all, so he could only copy the opponent's swordsmanship in this way.

If it could obtain seven "Maple Leaf" dolls with strength similar to its own, its combat power would obviously increase several times over.

"Mr. Yin Kong?"

Kagome Higurashi immediately looked at Yin Kong. Putting aside the stamina required for continuous fighting, if these imposters were allowed to slowly learn Mr. Kaedehara's swordsmanship, wouldn't Mr. Kaedehara be in danger?

However, Yin Kong gently shook his head and said in a relaxed tone:

"Well, I don't think there's anything to worry about."

"If you can do it, give it a try."

Kaedehara Manyo chuckled softly, full of anticipation.

His swordsmanship has long since transcended the constraints of specific moves.

Even many times, Wan Ye himself couldn't describe what school or technique each move belonged to.

Because he was really just following the wind and his own will when he wielded the knife.

Unless one can be like Yin Kong, possessing Wan Ye and achieving a spiritual connection, one cannot comprehend such a state of mind.

Otherwise, even if he were willing to teach everything he knew, it would be difficult for others to learn such swordsmanship; they would only think it was like Xia Ji's Eight Cuts.

If this demon can learn in this way, then Wan Ye should actually admire it.

Chapter 209 Black Crystal

"Why!? Why!? Why..."

"Maple Leaf" let out an incredulous roar.

Manyo has already killed it a hundred times. Based on past experience, it should have at least successfully copied the prototype of the opponent's swordsmanship.

But the truth is, it's still just as bad as before—

No, it's even worse than it was at the beginning.

Because at this moment, Manyo's efficiency in eliminating "Maple Plain Green Leaf" has significantly improved compared to the beginning.

"You tried to draw a tiger but ended up with a dog instead." Kaedehara Manye shook his head, disappointed. "I really shouldn't have had any expectations of you. Even if you died a hundred times, you wouldn't improve in the slightest."

"Impossible!" "Maple Leaf" clearly didn't believe it and shouted, "I understand now, you must be afraid that I will really learn it, so you said that on purpose!"

"If thinking this way makes you feel better, then think so." Wan Ye sheathed his sword, no longer intending to argue with the other party. "This farce should end now."

While "Maple Leaf" was still wondering, it suddenly realized that it could not move at all.

"What's going on? Why can't I control my body?"

"It's simple, because that's not your body at all." Ye Lan's figure slowly emerged from the air, blue threads spreading from her hand binding a blurry figure whose face was completely indistinguishable. "Why do you think we'd be willing to play with you for so long?"

[Desire Devourer] Lv.42.

Clearly, this is the real culprit in the disappearance case.

The bound demon naturally tried to struggle, but the threads of the Night Orchid possessed a strange power that rendered it unable to resist.

"How is this possible?!"

However, what shocked it even more was that Yelan was able to find itself in the darkness.

This is its home turf; even a demon far stronger than itself would never be able to do this.

"Who told you to resurrect so many times?"

Ye Lan casually tossed it in front of everyone.

This demon's ability to hide is indeed outstanding. If it had chosen to flee the moment they appeared, then it would have been very difficult for Yin Kong to find its true form.

But now, every time it revives "Maple Leaf", Ye Lan can catch a trace of it.

Upon seeing this, Kagome Higurashi exclaimed excitedly:

"Great, as long as we get rid of this guy, the disappearance case will be solved, right?"

"Not necessarily." However, Yin Kong shook his head and said, "This guy is probably just a puppet being manipulated by someone."

Having eliminated so many demons, he considered himself to have a fairly good understanding of these monsters.

"Even if they develop reason, they are almost unable to control their desires. Their limit is already understanding what it means to sustainably deplete resources."

Simply put, if this guy is the real killer, then these poor missing persons will be eaten on the spot after being dragged into the mirror.

As for the complex ritual they had just witnessed, it was absolutely impossible that it had orchestrated it on its own initiative.

"What were you communicating with during your ritual just now?"

Faced with Yin Kong's question, the demon's true form, which had been extremely arrogant, finally fell silent.

After a moment, it suddenly realized:

"I see, I understand now, you've come for that person."

Are you also Shafulin?

"Don't get your hopes up. I will never reveal any information to you!"

Hearing the demon's resolute tone, Yin Kong was skeptical:

"really?"

Demons are inherently selfish and self-serving. Talking to them about loyalty is like Laira writing a thesis—a pipe dream.

Without Yin Kong needing to remind her, Ye Lan had already tightened the silk threads.

Of course, her methods went far beyond that.

Blue threads pierced the demon's body like sharp thorns, swimming freely within it as if they possessed true life.

"Uh ah ah..."

[Desire Devourer] immediately let out a painful scream.

Demons are creatures born from the shadows, but the source of their elemental power is the power of the light realm. Fundamentally, they are incompatible beings.

To Yin Kong's slight surprise, despite suffering painful torment, the [Desire Devourer] showed no sign of relenting.

"You think you can make me betray that lord? Don't even think about it!"

Now, Yin Kong became very curious.

What exactly did "that person" do to make such a selfish and self-serving demon so loyal?

Could it be that, like I did with the [Barbatos Infant], the other party somehow filled in the missing emotions of these demons?

"It seems unlikely that we can get any information out of it."

Yin Kong looked regretful, but before the [Desire Devourer] could feel smug, it heard:

"In that case, we can only question your soul."

Zhongli told Yin Kong that because a communication ceremony had just been held, the demon's soul should still retain traces of "that person".

If there is someone extremely sensitive to the soul, they should be able to capture these things from its soul, and then let Mona use this as a medium to perform water divination, perhaps then they can obtain the key information.

"I see. I'll leave the rest to you, Euron."

Yin Kong understood and temporarily handed over control of his body to his grandson.
