Crossover: A Different Inuyasha

The blade energy, like lightning, shot through the sea and struck Gangluo's carapace directly.

The shell that was struck began to disintegrate, cracks spreading outwards like a spider web, and the debris merged into the seawater, turning into a murky mist.

He tried to break free of his prized carapace, but the destructive power of the blade's energy was too fast, giving Gangluo almost no time to react.

The disintegrating power of the Exploding Fang spread like a greedy tide along the carapace, muscles, and bones.

The entire mountain-like body disintegrated into pieces of light, merging into the deep blue sea.

Sesshomaru turned and broke through the water's surface, returning to the moonlight.

Sheathing his sword, the crescent-shaped armor disappeared.

The sea closed up behind him again.

The Four Divine Warriors were annihilated.

Chapter 71: Kikyo's Copy, Yuuyo's Father and Daughter-in-Law

"Feng, you take your men and gather all the half-demons on the island, then come with me. Jie Luo, you do the same. The rest of you can leave."

The first appearance of the God of Justice was enough to open the eyes of the monsters in Rashomon to the world.

The monsters are only taking up space here and serve no other purpose.

Upon receiving the order, the demons dispersed, and the demonic aura on the sea surface rapidly thinned out like the receding tide, leaving only the exposed sunlight and a calm sea surface.

The shrine maiden and her sorcerers prepare to take over the island's frightened half-demon children.

According to the proposed plan, the children will be directly placed under the jurisdiction of the Ruri Shrine.

Girls are incorporated into the priestess system and trained from a young age; boys are assigned to the law enforcement department that the shrine is preparing to establish, and will become one of the cornerstones of the Eastern Kingdom's order in the future.

On the other side, Jaken hopped and skipped after Sesshomaru, chattering excitedly as he did so.

Sesshomaru nodded slightly to Inuyasha, and the master and servant did not linger for long before transforming into two streaks of light that pierced the sky.

They continue their long journey of reading it as "wandering around" and writing it as "enclosing territory."

With Sesshomaru's imperial sword hanging over the world, he can suppress the restless hearts of many evil spirits wherever he goes.

After all, this great god doesn't care about many people. He's not greedy for power or wealth, nor is he interested in beautiful women. In a way, he's the perfect, decisive male protagonist.

"Let's go to the village first and comfort those little devils."

Inuyasha turned around and flew towards the half-demon village on Horai Island with Kaede and Yura.

The shrine troops traversed the forest shattered by the aftershocks of the sword energy, bypassed the collapsed torii gates and broken stone paths, and soon arrived at the settlement built by the lake.

The village is small, with wooden houses scattered about, eaves hanging low, and the lake reflecting the sunlight and white clouds.

Occasionally a breeze sweeps by, shattering the pool of light and shadow before slowly healing itself.

On the paths between the houses, there were messy footprints left from last night's running, and several half-closed wooden doors creaked in the breeze.

Timid glances occasionally peeked out from the cracks in the doors of a few houses—the changes on Penglai Island had come too suddenly, leaving them at a loss.

"Don't be afraid, everyone."

Inside the house, Asagi, the eldest sister and mother, calmly said, "As long as we still have value, the Four Gods will not easily give up on us."

She said something she herself didn't believe.

The Four Gods spared them because the blood and power of half-demons were the best sacrifices.

When the time comes for the Roaring Cauldron to do so, they will be pushed into that blazing furnace and turned into fuel to unleash its power.

Hearing Asagi's words, the half-demons were both frightened and bewildered.

"Placing hope in the enemy who killed my parents..." Meng Huang huddled in the corner, her chin resting on her knees.

"Is there some mistake here?"

The air inside felt heavier, and several younger children buried their heads even lower.

"Asagi-neechan, someone's here."

Lan crouched by the door, peering through the crack. Her clear eyes were clouded with unease, but in the next second, they shone like two lit lamps.

She suddenly stood up and pushed the wooden door open with a bang.

"It's Inuyasha!"

"He's brought people to rescue us!"

His voice was filled with barely suppressed surprise and joy, like a bird that had been caged for a long time suddenly seeing the open cage door.

Lan ran out excitedly, and Asagi's expression changed; she could only follow after her.

Before she could even speak, she saw Lan, like a fawn rushing into the forest, leap towards the crimson figure.

"Lan, it's been a long time."

Inuyasha reached out and caught the little demon who jumped into his arms.

Lan hung around his neck, her two thin arms wrapped tightly around him.

The scent of grass and earth mingled with the aroma of sunlight, filling my nostrils.

She looked up, her eyes sparkling like pebbles washed clean by a lake, and her voice was crisp and clear, "It really is you! I knew you would come, brother!"

"Of course! Don't you know who I am?" Inuyasha grinned, patted Ran's head, and then tossed her up in his arms, letting the fragrant little girl fall into his embrace.

His silvery-white hair brushed against his blue cheeks, and the sunlight fell on his crimson robes, giving them a warm, dark glow.

"The Four War Gods have been dealt with by your brother. From now on, your brother will take you to live a good life."

Blue's eyes suddenly lit up, and she buried half her face in his shoulder before lifting it up again. "Huh? Inuyasha-nii-san, really!"

"Of course it's true."

Asagi stood a few steps away, listening to these words, looking at Inuyasha in the sunlight and Ran, who had been caught by him and was laughing happily, and a feeling of disbelief, as if he had fallen into a dream, welled up in his heart.

"Asagi, call all the little ones over here, your big brother will take you home."

Startled awake by these words, Asagi met Inuyasha's gentle, smiling gaze. She exclaimed "Ah!" and turned to run back into the house.

A faint blush seemed to have appeared on the pointed ears.

When Feng and Jieluo saw this scene, they almost rolled their eyes. The former took Ran from Inuyasha's arms, while the latter glanced at the dog and said, "It's so small, how can you be interested in it?"

Adhering to the principle that the innocent will remain innocent and the guilty will remain guilty, Inuyasha remained calm.

After chatting with the kids who came out of the house for a while, Inuyasha left the people in charge of handling the affairs behind and took Kaede and Yura towards the place where spiritual energy was gathering.

After passing through a mountain wall covered with vines and ancient trees, the three found the entrance to a stone cave hidden among moss and rock crevices.

The cave entrance is narrow and deep, allowing only two people to walk side by side. The further you go in, the dimmer the light becomes, until the outline of the natural stone steps under your feet is almost completely hidden in the shadows.

Just as their vision was about to completely fail, a faint blue light emerged from the depths of the stone wall—first a few scattered points, then they merged together and spread along the cave wall, like a flaming galaxy.

Those are fluorite attached to stalactites, with hundreds of tiny specks of light densely adorning the hanging stalagmites, making the entire cave look like a crystal palace submerged underwater.

The light casts layers of shadows on the stone wall, revealing bizarre and varied shapes.

The air was filled with moist moisture and the crisp scent of minerals.

The sound of water echoed deep within the cave, sometimes near, sometimes far, making it impossible to discern its direction.

The three of them walked down the stone steps, and after turning a few corners, their view suddenly opened up.

Ahead lies an underground lake.

There was no sunlight above the lake, but countless tiny fluorescent lights emanated from the bottom of the water or between the stone walls, enveloping the underground space in a tranquil pale blue halo.

In the very center of the lake, a large tree grows out of the water.

The tree trunk is as thick as a pillar, covered with bluish-gray bark. The roots are clearly visible below the lake surface, like dark veins, drawing something from the rocks at the bottom of the water, slowly and steadily transporting it upwards.

The tree trunk extended upwards for several dozen feet, then stopped branching at the top, revealing a bright green oval sphere supported by branches.

The sphere exudes a gentle yet rich aura of life. Just standing by the lake, one can feel the vigorous vitality that overflows from the surface of the sphere like a tide.

Inside the sphere was a woman—a very beautiful woman.

With her arms crossed in front of her chest, her posture was so serene it was almost like she was asleep. Her long hair was spread out in the water, like a piece of dark silk soaked in light.

Her face was not clearly visible through the semi-transparent sphere, but even so, her unforgettable features made Feng's eyes widen.

"Sister Kikyo—!"

Feng subconsciously took a step forward, his feet stepping into the shallow water by the lake.

His gaze was fixed on the emerald green humanoid figure, his pupils swirling with astonishment, disbelief, and a complex mix of emotions.

There's no way around it, the dog's romantic relationships are all over the place these days. If it really were Kikyo, it would probably go berserk on the spot.

“Maple, that’s a replica of Kikyo.” Inuyasha reached out and pressed it down. “Twenty-five years ago, Ryura created it using her blood. It has no soul, no memories, it’s just an empty shell.”

"A body without a soul? Isn't that a ready-made vessel for resurrection?"

Jieluo raised his eyebrows slightly, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the sphere and Inuyasha, a knowing look in his voice.

"As long as there is a way to bring the soul back, this body can be used directly."

The female demon smiled as she leaned against Inuyasha, "Kikyo, is it? What a beautiful woman, I can't help but be smitten."

"Stop being cheeky, or Kikyo might actually shoot you with an arrow after she revives."

Inuyasha looked up and flicked Yura on the forehead. The female demon gave a coquettish hum, clearly not believing that she couldn't beat Kikyo.

This inexplicable self-confidence is similar to that of the leopard cat Donglan.

"resurrection?"

Feng snapped out of his daze, stared at Inuyasha, and said in a low, deep voice.

"Kikyo died with resentment. Would she agree to be resurrected?"

Due to the leopard cat's activity, several resurrection techniques are submitted to Rashomon every year.

Kaede, who knew what Inuyasha wanted to do, was also somewhat involved.

Inuyasha met Kaede's gaze and said, "Then you'll have to ask her yourself."

....................................

Meanwhile, in the Netherworld.

Douya opened his eyes.

The winds of the underworld blow from an unknown distance, passing through the desolate underworld and silent rivers, bringing the breath of the living to us.

"That brat Inuyasha has come to the Underworld again. What does he want this time?"

"There is also an unfamiliar spiritual energy."

The underworld is vast and boundless.

There was only boundless stillness and an eternally unchanging gray sky.

Touya sat alone in one place, using his own demonic power to suppress the evil thoughts of Congyunya day and night, and had very little contact with the outside world.

The wind was his only hearing and sight here—it came from the world, carrying the breath of the living, bringing fragmented pieces to his ears.

Since sending his beloved wife, Izayoi, who could not withstand the corruption of the underworld for long, to reincarnation, he has never wandered around again.

Now that he has discovered Inuyasha entangled with a spiritual aura imbued with death energy, his curiosity as a father has been piqued.

'Let's go take a look.'

With the Cloud Fang on his back, Douya Wang flew across the underworld where countless souls lingered, heading towards the direction where the spider lilies bloomed.

Deep within the sea of ​​red spider lilies, crimson petals sway in the wind, like an ever-burning fiery cloud stretching to the horizon.

Kikyo sat among the flowers, her knees bent, her arms wrapped around herself, her chin resting on her knees, her gaze vacant as she stared at the distant, hazy horizon of the underworld.

Her world has been turned upside down ever since she last saw Inuyasha.
