Crossover: A Different Inuyasha

Beneath her silver bangs, her calm eyes gleamed with a faint golden light in the moonlight.

"That was the last chance I gave you to defy me."

Jieluo paused for a moment.

The female demon, unable to comprehend Inuyasha's thought process, was too lazy to even think about it.

I don't bother to think about whether it's true or false, because that doesn't really matter.

Jieluo pushed back and simply flipped over to straddle him.

Her slender shoulders and jade-like skin gave her an air of cunning and shrewdness under the moonlight.

"Now that I'm being disrespectful, what can you do about it?"

"How dare you, you little monster, be so insolent!"

The night of beating the monster passed quickly. Before dawn, when the mountain mist still lazily clung to the waist of the valley, Jaken sprang up from the ground with a start.

Having spent so many years with Sesshomaru, enduring wind and rain, he may not be able to boast about his other skills, but wilderness survival skills are ingrained in his very being.

He leaned on the cane he had picked up the night before, peering around cautiously.

Inuyasha and Yura have both disappeared without a trace. What would a lone man and woman like that be doing? Jaken could guess with his own eyes.

'How utterly depraved!'

'However, it's also a good opportunity; now is the time to demonstrate my value.'

Xie Jian lifted his robe and tucked it into his belt, then trotted over to the stream with his short legs.

As the morning light begins to shine through, the stream is so clear that you can see the bottom.

Silver-scaled fish lazily swayed their tails among the smooth pebbles.

He took a deep breath, aimed at the fattest one, and pounced.

“You mere mortal fish, today I will show you the methods of Lord Xiejian.”

A short while later, Xie Jian squatted by the fire, used a knife to clean the fish one by one, and strung them on sharpened branches and placed them by the fire.

As the fish skin licked the flames, it gradually turned golden, oil dripped down, sizzling, and a smoky aroma mixed with the unique sweetness of river seafood permeated the forest.

"With Inuyasha's assistance, Lord Sesshomaru will surely be able to wipe out those damned leopard cats."

"And I, the great one who brought Inuyasha back, also deserve credit, hehe."

Jaken was so happy that bubbles were practically popping out of his nose, thinking about Sesshomaru, who might not say anything but was secretly delighted.

Inuyasha, still full of energy after a night's rest, smelled the aroma of grilled fish and patted the soft, boneless, warm thing on his body.

"Get up."

Jieluo let out a soft "hmm" from his chest and lazily sat up.

A few strands of messy short hair stuck up by her ears, only softening slowly when blown by the morning breeze.

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

As the sun climbed to the mountaintop, the three of them, bathed in the golden morning light filtering through the trees, embarked on their journey to the Western Kingdom.

Jaken, leaning on his staff made of human heads, led the way, chattering on and on about the terrain and the distribution of monsters along the way.

Jieluo followed behind him, her hair lazily fluttering in the morning breeze, sometimes brushing past the bushes to shred a few flying insects, sometimes reaching into the grass to cut the vines blocking her way.

Inuyasha lagged behind, gnawing on half a grilled fish as he walked.

The moment we stepped out of the forest, the view ahead suddenly opened up.

The gently sloping grassy slope connects to the low hills in the distance.

The sunlight poured down from above without any obstruction, making people squint slightly.

Inuyasha looked back towards the direction of Kaede Village—he could not see the village, the sacred tree, or the hillside where Kikyo lay in eternal rest.

He turned back, tore off the last piece of fish, chewed it, and swallowed it.

When you come back next time, everything will be very different.

Chapter 9 A One-Man Triumph

On the vast plains of the western lands, a sinister aura surged forth, transforming into tangible dark clouds that shrouded the entire landscape.

Beneath this iron-gray sky, lies the front line where the dog demons and the leopard cat clan confront each other.

The sounds of battle shook the heavens, and blood flowed like rivers.

Her long, silvery-white hair flowed behind her.

With a crescent moon mark on his forehead, two red demonic patterns on each cheek, a moon-white kimono adorned with hexagonal plum blossoms, and a Heavenly Fang sash at his waist, this slightly childish nobleman stood before the battle.

A chilling, demonic aura surrounded him, and his magnificent robes remained motionless in the bloody wind.

On the opposite side, the four kings of the leopard cats were on high alert, their eyes filled with both fear and cruelty.

Dong Lan's ice spear condensed in his palm, radiating a chilling aura, as he shouted.

"Sesshomaru, stop struggling in vain. What good is your strength? You are just one person. How can you turn the tide of battle!"

"The dog demon clan's defeat is inevitable!"

Sesshomaru didn't even lift his eyelids; his fingertips glowed with light as he lifted his foot and began to walk in a straight line.

In his heart, only a dead leopard cat is a good leopard cat, and a dead leopard cat cannot speak.

"Let's attack together!"

Donglan sneered, and her ice spear pierced the air, its piercing cold light aimed straight for Sesshomaru's heart.

Almost at the same instant, Qiu Lan roared, and his powerful body transformed into a meteorite wrapped in lightning, charging straight at him.

Lightning exploded on the claws, flashing blinding white light, and the air was ionized, releasing a scorching stench.

Xia Lan attacked from the side, her fists wreathed in flames leaving two trails of blazing fire in the air, the intense heat overwhelming.

Sesshomaru lashed out with his poisonous whip in his right hand, the emerald green whip wrapping around the shaft of the ice spear in mid-air.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, the ice spear, powerful enough to pierce the city wall, was deflected, flying to the side with its remaining force, crashing into the leopard cat army in the distance, causing a chorus of screams.

At that moment, Xia Lan's fiery fist slammed down in front of him. Sesshomaru slightly turned his body, and the fiery cat's paw grazed past his ear.

The golden eyes met Xia Lan's gaze, immediately causing the latter to tremble with fear, and flames erupted from her body.

Sesshomaru used the momentum of his sidestep to strike Xia Lan's shoulder with his Poisonous Flower Claw.

Flames and poison mingled instantly. Fire Cat, letting out a scream, curled up to avoid Sesshomaru's grasp and was sent flying into Akiyama's path.

The two embraced, flames and lightning mingling together, and they rolled on the ground.

Just then, the ground they had just rolled over cracked open with a loud "crack," and Sesshomaru's lashing whip, powerful enough to shatter an ordinary demon, returned empty-handed.

Chunlan's illusion unfolded silently, and the scene before Sesshomaru's eyes suddenly distorted as countless figures, indistinguishable from real ones, rushed in from all directions.

Sesshomaru glanced expressionlessly at the shadowy figures around him, their real and fake forms indistinguishable, his brilliant golden eyes filled with nothing but disdain.

"Boring, the same old thing again."

He spun around, and emerald green light burst forth from his fingertips like a dragon in flight. His magnificent robes fluttered in the wind, and his light whip traced perfect arcs as he spun.

Demonic power emanated from the whip, transforming into concentric circles of emerald light that radiated outwards.

The rain of ice arrows that Dong Lan shot out during the moment of contact was shattered into dust the instant they touched the ground, and countless ice crystals exploded in mid-air.

The still-powerful arc of light pierced through the ice arrow, swept across the void, and tore apart the illusion barrier set up by Chunlan.

The shadows, indistinguishable from the real thing, were washed away by demonic power like thin mist scorched by the blazing sun, twisting and turning horribly before evaporating completely.

Chunlan's true form, hidden behind the illusion, was revealed—the petite cat demon girl stumbled back several steps, clutching her chest, her pretty face deathly pale, and a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

With a single strike, the ice arrows shattered, the illusion was broken, and the Four Heavenly Kings of the Leopard Cats remained unmoved.

Since the start of these days of competition, the strength of the eldest son of the Dog General has been evident to all, like the cold moon in the sky, something that is desirable but unattainable.

Even the strongest of the Four Heavenly Kings, Donglan, had to admit that, in terms of individual strength alone, she was half a point inferior to this young Sesshomaru.

If the battle drags on for a long time, even she might be defeated.

The other three were even less able to withstand Sesshomaru, and if they were not careful, he could seize the opportunity to kill them.

In order to avoid being defeated one by one by Sesshomaru and to accumulate the chances of victory, the Four Heavenly Kings of the Leopard Cat all decided to "endure the puppies".

The four of them worked together to pin the most dangerous dog demon to the spot.

To achieve the greatest victory with the least cost, and to devour the dog demon completely.

The only thing that puzzled Donglan was that there were very few dog demons who came to participate in the battle.

Even though they once raided the dog demon territory, the number of them was incorrect.

It's as if only two or three dog demons remain in the world; that's very strange.

'But it doesn't matter. Once I've killed this biggest scourge, I'll find the rest of the dog demons sooner or later and wipe them all out!'

Donglan stood protectively in front of Xialan and Chunlan, allowing the two leopard cats to heal their wounds together.

She exuded a chilling aura, instantly freezing the moisture in the air, and thick ice spears blocked Sesshomaru's path.

Akiyama, with her lightning-fast burst speed, could spot any gaps and prevent Sesshomaru from escaping the ice spear's coverage at breakneck speed.

Sesshomaru continued to destroy the ice spears, his face expressionless, but inwardly he was filled with resentment and discontent.

'If Father had his Tessaiga, these pieces of trash would be nothing but easy prey!'

'And then there's the Congyun Fang—what was my father thinking before he died? He left me only a useless natural tooth!'

'Where are those two teeth?!'

Sesshomaru couldn't understand it.

His father's arrangements were like an unsolvable puzzle, and he was getting annoyed by the four leopard cats in front of him. He glanced at the main battlefield not far away and frowned slightly.

Below is a battlefield where blood flows.

The demons, once protected by the Dog General, clashed with the leopard cat's army, their shouts and screams mingling into a murky roar.

But the difference is quite obvious.

The leopard cats' attacks were methodical and well-organized, with their formations rotating smoothly and seamlessly. The vanguard would charge, the flanks would flank, and the rear would suppress the enemy; every leopard cat was consciously cooperating.

On the other hand, the demons were not weak in demonic power and were not lacking in courage, but they fought each other independently.

Their formation was scattered like loose sand, torn apart by the Leopard Cat Legion's repeated flanking maneuvers.

Defeat is only a matter of time.

'It's happening again...'

'And Mother...'

'So be it. In this world, the only things you can trust are your own sharp teeth and claws.'

Sesshomaru, too lazy to look at this rabble any longer, enveloped his body in a spherical ball of demonic energy, and flew rapidly through the air like a ball of light.

Winter's ice arrows rained down like rain, Summer breathed out fireballs the size of human heads, Autumn's palms shot out lightning, and Spring released petals that caused hallucinations and unconsciousness.

All the skills of spring, summer, autumn and winter are nothing but flashy tricks in front of Sesshomaru.

Pure demonic power, perfect physique, top-tier talent, and flawless bloodline.

The four elements combined form the cool, clear moonlight that freely spills its brilliance on the battlefield.

The noble young master of the dog clan moved calmly through the barrage of killing moves, without a single unnecessary movement or hesitation.

Like the only rose on the battlefield.

Chapter 10 A Story in the Rain

After Inuyasha and his group had traveled westward for three days, Jaken looked at the churning dark clouds on the horizon, turned around, and said...

"Young Master Inuyasha, it looks like it's about to rain. Let's find a place to rest."

Japan is neither too big nor too small; given the average speed of a monster, it would take four or five days to traverse the entire island.
