Crossover: A Different Inuyasha

Silver Calamity gritted its teeth and yanked the snake body of Golden Calamity toward itself.

A burst of blinding lightning then erupted, engulfing both of them simultaneously.

Lightning exploded into countless silver snakes, tearing the night at the valley entrance into daylight.

When the light faded, only scorch marks and wisps of smoke remained on the spot—the two figures had vanished.

The Thunder Beast Chieftain stood in the center of the scorched earth, his Thunder Spear hanging at his side.

He turned around, panting heavily, and walked back step by step to the pile of rocks.

The dead female thunder beast lay there, her wide-open eyes empty and pale.

The Thunder Beast Chieftain knelt down beside her, reached out and grasped her hand that was hanging limply to the ground, raised his head, and let out a mournful and unwilling roar at the rolling thunderclouds above.

He is the father and the clan chief.

The Thunder Beast clan needs rest and recuperation now, not to hunt down their enemies.

In his grief, the Thunder Beast Chieftain seemed to be hallucinating—the heads of the Golden Calamity and the Silver Calamity crashed to the ground from afar, their unseeing heads rolling to his feet.

"This is my greeting gift."

"Do you like it, Thunder Beast?"

Chapter 57 Bait

"Damn Thunder Beast—!"

Silver Calamity struggled to fly over a mountain ridge, but when it realized that the Thunder Beast Chieftain was not chasing after it, it finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell into the grass along with Golden Calamity, which was wrapped around its body.

He lay on his back, his chest heaving violently, his bluish skin covered with charred marks left by the lightning strike, and blood trickling from the corner of his mouth down his chin and neck.

"……call."

Yin Huo exhaled a breath of foul air, the scent of blood and dust dissipating in the wind.

He wiped his mouth, glanced around at the dark forest, and relaxed his tense nerves after confirming that there was no unusual activity.

"Once my injuries heal, I'll go find other monsters... We'll tackle the Thunder Beast after we've killed the Golden Calamity."

He glanced at Jin Huo beside him. This usually violent and arrogant guy was staring straight at him, his expression neither mocking nor relieved.

"Silver Calamity, if you want to kill me, then do it!"

Jin Huo was aware of his physical condition.

Now, any random monster could kill me. If the other party wanted me dead, it would only take a single bolt of lightning.

Yin Huo wanted to make a sarcastic remark, but seeing that miserable state, he swallowed his words.

Goodbye, Golden Calamity.

He uttered a sound, intending to end Jin Huo's life, but found himself unable to move.

The desperate escape along the way had consumed too much of his demonic power, and the final lightning escape had completely depleted the demonic power from the thunder beast liver he had previously replenished. Now, even lifting a finger felt like his bones were filled with lead.

The breath I had been holding while running away was gone, and my body felt like a punctured sack, unable to hold any strength anymore.

"……Oh."

Jin Huo clearly noticed Yin Huo's predicament, and a glimmer of light returned to his previously dim eyes, his lips slowly parting into a smile.

He chuckled hoarsely, clearly with a hint of smug satisfaction.

Silver Calamity saw the infuriating Golden Calamity and coldly snorted, "When I have the strength, the first thing I'll do is kill you."

Although the words were harsh, both of them lay in the withered grass, their snake tails tangled together, blood still flowing from their wounds, neither able to kill the other.

The threat drifted away on the night wind, never materializing.

Instead, it was like a withered leaf being swept up by the wind, swaying in the air for a couple of moments, and then falling back down.

The two brothers lay in the withered grass, looking up at the darkening night sky above them.

The night wind blew through the woods, stinging the wound with a burning pain.

Having survived such a calamity, they both smiled slightly, their laughter echoing through the mountains and forests, carrying with it the absurdity and exhaustion of surviving a disaster.

What are you laughing at?

A slightly lazy, teasing voice came from the shadows of the trees a few steps away, "Tell me about it."

Footsteps echoed through the fallen leaves and pebbles.

A bright red figure emerged from the shadows of the trees, silver hair swaying in the night breeze, golden eyes shining brightly and clearly in the sparse moonlight.

He walked over with his hands tucked into his sleeves, like a street urchin.

Inuyasha looked down at the heavily injured Kinka and Ginka in the bushes and said regretfully.

"I do good deeds every day, why doesn't a beautiful girl fall from the sky?"

"you--"

Startled, Ginka looked at the rambling Inuyasha and her expression immediately tightened. She urgently asked, "Half-demon... what do you want to do?"

Jin Huo also tried to lift his head by supporting himself on the ground, but his injuries were too severe, and he fell back down heavily after only managing to lift half of his body.

Inuyasha squatted down in front of them, resting his hands on his knees, and looked at the two snake-men who were twisted together with great interest.

"I was just passing by when I heard you laughing, so I came to see what it was that could laugh so happily after suffering a defeat at our door."

Inuyasha, who happened to arrive during the fierce battle between the Thunder Beast and the Two-Headed Serpent, watched the entire fight as if he were an interviewer.

Both races can generate lightning.

In terms of momentum, resilience, and ethnic cohesion, each has its merits.

He plans to take over whoever survives to the end, simply reaping the benefits.

Now that the Silver Calamity and the Gold Calamity have been defeated, it's the perfect time to use their heads as a welcoming gift.

This way, one avoids being impolite and demonstrates that one's family are reasonable and civilized people who promote new social norms.

Coincidentally, the Thunder Beast Chieftain also lost his wife, and everyone now had a common goal to strive for.

This is definitely a comrade.

"One thunder, one fire."

"Perfect, I'll use you as knife feed."

Inuyasha calmly drew his sword.

As the Tessaiga was drawn from his waist, the blade shifted in the wind, revealing the imposing fang-shaped blade beneath, which gleamed with a cold, lustrous white light in the sparse moonlight.

Like bone china washed by the night.

The glint of the blade illuminated the face of the Silver Calamity.

Sensing impending doom, Ginko instinctively curled her snake tail, braced herself on the ground with her arms, shrank back, and hurriedly spoke.

"Half-demon, what kind of skill is it to bully the injured? If you have the guts, let's have a one-on-one fight in the future!"

"That was a good joke, we can tell it in the next life." Inuyasha slashed down.

"Rejoice! To die by my hand and become bait for the evolution of the Tessaiga is your greatest honor!"

Jin Huo grinned, but before he could utter a word, the blade fell with a tragic beauty.

Silver Calamity's head detached from its blue neck and tumbled in mid-air.

It then rolled into the withered grass, splashing a small patch of warm blood.

The blade of the Tessaiga glowed slightly for a moment as it slashed down, a wisp of silver light rising from the edge, as if something had been drawn from the body of the Silver Calamity.

It meandered along the spine of the blade for a moment, then sank deep into the blade and disappeared.

Inuyasha swung his sword again with a backhand strike.

Jin Huo's head was also severed.

A layer of flame immediately appeared on the blade of the Tessaiga, brighter than the previous silvery light, but still faint, like a match that flickered in the wind and then went out.

Inuyasha glanced at the traces of the two streaks of light disappearing on the blade, then sheathed the sword and clicked his tongue softly.

"Well, even a mosquito's leg is meat."

"I need to work on the techniques for using strength more carefully."

"When I can unleash the Seven Limits of Devouring Heaven and Earth with the Tessaiga, I will have a place in the myriad worlds."

Source energy emanated from Inuyasha's fingertips, transforming into two thin threads that strung together the two heads.

He turned and started walking towards Thunder Valley.

We encountered several surviving Thunder Beasts along the way.

They initially shrank back in fear, but upon seeing the head swaying in the half-demon's hand, their eyes shifted from fear to a more complex light, a mixture of shock and awe.

Finally, the two unseeing heads rolled across the ground one after the other and came to rest at the feet of the Thunder Beast Chieftain.

Silver Calamity's head struck the tip of his boot, revealing a clean cut on the back of his neck where the blade had severed it.

"This is my greeting gift."

The Thunder Beast Chieftain suddenly raised his head.

The thunderbolts just happened to tear through the clouds.

A pale white bolt of lightning pierced down from the dome, illuminating the valley as bright as day.

The silver-haired half-demon stood on the boundary between light and darkness, and nodded towards the Thunder Beast Clan Chief.

"Do you like it, Thunder Beast?"

Chapter 58 All Gone

The lightning that pierced the sky illuminated the emotions surging in the eyes of the Thunder Beast Chieftain—gratitude and shock intertwined into a heavy shadow.

He didn't answer "like" or "dislike," but instead faced the half-demon and solemnly bowed.

"I am Lei Ming, the chieftain of the Thunder Beast Clan."

"If there is anything that the Thunder Beast Clan needs to do, please give your instructions, sir."

There is no free lunch in the world.

Although such language did not exist during the chaotic Warring States period, Lei Ming understood this principle.

Aside from parents and close relatives, no one will do favors for strangers without a reason.

Thunder rumbled again across the distant mountain ridge.

"Thunder? You're quite sensible, saving me a lot of trouble."

Inuyasha approached and went straight to the point.

"Submit to me, lead the Thunder Beast clan, and join my ranks, Inuyasha."

Upon hearing this, Lei Ming straightened up, his silent face revealing clear distress.

Agreeing to the other party's request could lead to an uncertain future.

Refusing to seek refuge will lead to a worrisome fate.

"As a husband, I am grateful to you for avenging my wife's death; as the clan chief, I am equally grateful to you for slaying our clan's enemy."

Unable to attend to both ends, Lei Ming humbled himself and knelt down on one knee.

"But sir, you have also seen the Thunder Beast clan, which is now severely damaged and consists of only remnants of its army."

"If possible, I, Lei Ming, am willing to go through fire and water for you, my lord, just so that the remaining members of my clan can recuperate in Lei Ming Valley."

The Thunder Beast raised its head, its eyes filled with sincere earnestness, "Even if you want my head, Lei Ming will not hesitate!"

"Oh? I see."

"But what would I do with your head? Use it as a ball?"

Inuyasha glanced casually at the body of the female thunder beast, one hand resting on the hilt of his sword, the other brushing aside his silver hair, which was ruffled by the night wind, as if he had remembered something.

"As you've probably heard, leopard cats have been searching for a way to resurrect themselves all these years."
