“I won’t let you down, Grandpa Diamond Pickaxe.”
Although Yin Kong's body was not as sensitive as his original body, the traces of "that person" were far more obvious than he had expected.
“I see it!” Orloren’s voice echoed in Yin Kong’s mind. “They don’t just communicate through rituals; there must be a closer connection between them.”
Because he discovered a jet-black crystal within the demon's soul.
If nothing unexpected happens, this should belong to "that person".
However, just as Orloren was about to remove the crystal from the demon's soul, the bound [Desire Devourer] suddenly exploded without warning.
Immediately, jet-black mist erupted, almost instantly enveloping the entire area.
This power is—the abyss?!
Yin Kong reacted almost instantly, his body tensing to the extreme.
"Cough cough..."
The only ordinary person among them, Yukino Yukinoshita, was kneeling on the ground, coughing painfully.
A golden talisman had appeared between her eyebrows; this was left by Yin Kong as a precaution.
Unfortunately, when faced with the mists of the abyss, this talisman could only alleviate the pain and could not completely resist the erosion of the abyss.
Kagome Higurashi and Inuyasha were also in a difficult situation. The moment they were enveloped in the mist, they also felt short of breath and countless negative emotions surged into their hearts. But at least they were able to maintain a basic fighting stance.
"Are you OK."
Yoran pressed down on Yukino Yukinoshita's shoulder, and the Eye of God at her waist had already lit up with a dazzling light.
In this pitch-black fog, it seemed that only its light could barely carve out a small safe area.
Chapter 210 Bait
"I...I'm alright." Bathed in the light of the Divine Eye, Yukino Yukinoshita managed to stand up with difficulty. "Thank you—"
Just as she was about to thank him, she suddenly opened her eyes wide in horror.
Just then, a dark figure silently appeared behind Ye Lan.
The instant it appeared, a black blade of light flashed and cleaved Yelan in two.
Everything seemed like a replay of Manyo's sneak attack on the fake Kikyo.
"caught you!"
However, Yelan is clearly not a [Desire Devourer].
The next moment, the "Night Orchid" that had been cut in half shattered like a bubble, and at the same time, the real Night Orchid appeared out of thin air.
Fine water jets shot out in succession, striking the attacker but only causing it to stagger slightly.
"This is--"
Only now was Yukino Yukinoshita able to see the attacker's true appearance.
This was a humanoid monster that was completely black, with its face obscured, but its body shape and the sword it held were almost identical to Manyo's.
"As expected, it is an abyssal monster."
Ye Lan's expression was solemn. Although it wasn't her first time dealing with monsters from the abyss, she instinctively sensed that this opponent was completely different from those she had encountered before.
The sudden sound of a sword ringing out behind her startled Yukino. She turned around and belatedly realized that she and Yoran had just been ambushed again.
Behind them, Kaedehara Manyo was already locked in battle with a dark version of herself, the clanging of swords striking each other like the continuous forging of metal.
Even the young girl could tell that these dark creatures were completely different from the clumsy imitations summoned by the [Desire Devourer] before.
Of course, it wasn't just them; almost everyone was attacked at the same time.
The most thrilling encounter was naturally between Kagome Higurashi and Inuyasha. Unlike the battle-hardened Yoran Manyo, these two were still very inexperienced in combat.
Especially when facing Manyo, who was mimicking the abyss, it was simply a pitiful sight.
In a one-on-one fight, the two people might not even realize they've been attacked until the moment their heads are chopped off.
Even so, Kagome Higurashi was shocked to discover that her "Demon-Slaying Arrow," which had always been invincible against monsters and even demons, was now greatly diminished.
It's not entirely useless, but it has lost its former power to kill with a single blow.
If Yin Kong hadn't intervened in time, some of them would have already been killed.
"one two three,……"
After the initial chaos subsided, Kagome Higurashi, Inuyasha, and Yukino Yukinoshita were protected in the center, while Yin Kong, Ye Lan, and Manyo stood in a triangle, confronting the nine pseudo-Manyos in the abyss mist.
"As expected of the Abyss."
Wan Ye said softly.
These mimics of Manyo's swordsmanship are still not as good as his, but they are definitely at the top level.
More importantly, the body that the Abyss mimicked not only far surpassed his current strength and speed, but also had no vital organs to worry about.
Neither Kagome's spiritual power nor Inuyasha's demonic power had a significant effect.
Almost only elemental forces can cause them real damage, but even that is very limited.
"As expected of the Abyss."
Yin Kong agreed.
Seeing Kagome and Inuyasha's situation, he finally realized just how terrifying the power of the Abyss truly is for the ordinary world.
Or rather, just how special is Teyvat?
Fortunately, there are only nine.
If the Abyss really produces hundreds of Wanye, then he will have no choice but to ask the Emperor for help.
However, if there are only nine, it is still within the scope of processing.
Yin Kong took a light breath and broke the stalemate first:
"Wind injury!"
Amidst the raging wind, three fierce blade energies slashed towards the mimic Wan Ye in front of him.
If it were ordinary fog, this strong wind would have been enough to disperse it.
Unfortunately, the fog of the abyss is clearly not that simple.
Ordinary winds have no effect on their existence; only elemental forces or forces equivalent to the power of the abyss can neutralize them.
However, Yin Kong's purpose was not to blow away the fog.
Sure enough, the moment he unleashed [Wind Scar], the six clones of Manyo who were originally confronting him also moved almost simultaneously.
They were completely unaffected by the sword energy; instead, taking advantage of the gaps in the [Wind Wound], they rushed to Yin Kong's side like lightning.
The next moment, six jet-black sword lights slashed at his vital points from various tricky angles.
"Roar!"
Yin Kong stomped hard on the ground, and the Demon-Subduing Seal transformed into a golden shockwave that reverberated in all directions.
He himself slapped the Demon-Subduing Seal on the Dawn Divine Sword and thrust it at the mimic Wan Ye in front of him.
This sword strike would normally be very difficult to pierce the body of the mimic Man Ye.
But the mimic Wan Ye in front of Yin Kong neither dodged nor avoided, deliberately remaining in place to wait for him to pierce its body, and then—
puff! puff! puff! puff! puff!
After Yin Kong pierced the mimic Wan Ye, five black longswords also pierced his body at the same time.
He unleashed a shockwave with his foot, but it failed to repel the mimicry of Manyo.
For the abyssal monsters that stirred up the fog, being able to eliminate Yin Kong at the cost of sacrificing one of the mimic Wan Ye was clearly a sure win.
"Mr. Yin Kong!"
Kagome Higurashi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, because at first she thought that Yin Kong was just learning from Ye Lan's previous actions, using illusions to deceive the abyss monsters.
But while waiting for Yin Kong to jump out from somewhere, she was horrified to discover that blood was indeed gushing from Yin Kong's wound.
Could it be that Yin Kong wasn't using an illusion, but was actually stabbed in a vital spot?!
Of course, this was exactly the effect Yin Kong wanted.
These abyssal monsters are also very experienced in combat. They can only lure a mimicry of a common illusion, like Yelan, at most.
Only by revealing a fatal flaw in its true form can it attract them to attack together.
The golden cage of rock elemental power suddenly opened, imprisoning Yin Kong and the six mimicking Wan Ye within it.
Then, he was automatically switched to the background because his health points reached zero.
"Come on, say hello to everyone!"
"Destiny is ordained!"
In the end, it was Zhongli who made the move, thrusting out six spears in an instant, annihilating all the helpless mimics, Wanye.
When the golden rock cage dissipated, all that could be seen were the six mimicking Man-Ye creatures, all of which had been destroyed. Only Yin Kong, who had been resurrected after eating the Golden Shrimp Ball, was sitting on the ground.
After eating several plates of stuffed matsutake mushroom rolls, the hideous wounds on his body began to heal rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Kagome and the other two looked at each other, completely bewildered as to what had just happened.
Chapter 211 Aftermath
Fortunately, the Abyss-mimicked Manyo is many times stronger than the counterfeit "Maple Leaf", but it has lost the ability to resurrect infinitely at will.
At least, the environment here doesn't allow them to do so.
"Threads intertwined!"
"The wind moves with the clouds!"
After Yin Kong eliminated six Mimic Wan Ye in one go, the remaining three were easily dealt with by Ye Lan and Wan Ye without him having to lift a finger.
Once all the abyssal monsters were eliminated, the dark mist quickly dissipated.
Yin Kong immediately checked on the unconscious people. Fortunately, they dealt with the abyss monsters quickly enough, and he had set up a formation in advance to defend against them. So they had only had a nightmare and had not suffered more serious damage.
This is why he took such a radical approach, even going so far as to use himself as bait.
He could also slowly wear down these nine mimics of Manyo in a protracted war.
After all, both he and Ye Lanwanye possessed limitless stamina.
Even if you get injured by accident, you can use food to recover.
But these ordinary people obviously couldn't hold out for that long.
"What's wrong, Inuyasha? Why have you been staring at me like that since earlier?"
After checking on the group of poor missing persons, Yin Kong turned around and asked Inuyasha.
From the moment it started, this half-demon boy had been looking at him with worried eyes.
Of course, it wasn't just him; Kagome Higurashi and Yukino Yukinoshita also had similar expressions, looking like they wanted to say something but couldn't.
"It's nothing." Inuyasha scratched his head and asked, "It's just that, Yin Kong, are you alright?"
His right cheek was slashed by the mimicry of Manyo. Although it was only a shallow wound, Kagome Higurashi had just spent a lot of effort to purify the abyssal aura that had stained it.
In contrast, the five stab wounds Yin Kong suffered were not only all fatal, but the sheer corrosive effects of the abyss he endured were terrifying to even contemplate.
Seeing the three people's worried looks, Yin Kong smiled and explained:
"Rest assured, all three of you. I am an old rival of the Abyss, so I naturally have some ways to deal with it."
"That's good." Hearing Yin Kong say that, Kagome Himura finally breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed, "I never imagined that the Abyss monsters were so terrifying. If it weren't for you, Yin Kong, we might have been dead already."
She was well aware of her own limitations; let alone nine Mimic Manyo, one of them could easily kill them.
"It's nothing. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been caught up in this danger."
If their grandson hadn't found the black crystal in the demon's soul, even if they had destroyed the demon, they wouldn't have been able to trigger the abyss's counterattack.
"But are you even human anymore?"
