"It’s indeed a barrier..." Kikyo said in surprise. This barrier is sothing else; even with her spiritual sense, she couldn’t detect it, and her arrows could only montarily pierce a "point" without shattering the entire barrier, more like digging a hole from above.
"It’s about to close... should we go through?"
Gu Mo stared at the rift in the barrier torn open by the arrow, watching it swiftly heal within seconds.
"The barrier recovers quite fast... we might not make it in ti." Kikyo, also noticing this, furrowed her brows.
But this is expected; in the original story, Inuyasha used the red Iron Shattering Fang that specifically breaks barriers to open it, but it was also for a very brief mont. Little Fox Qi Bao hesitated briefly and almost lagged behind, unable to follow.
"I think I can make it, how about this, Kikyo, you wait here and clear the path for , I’ll go on my own..."
Gu Mo blinked and volunteered.
Although he can’t usually fly, with the strong physical attributes and mobility brought by the Nine-tailed Possession, and by using his spiritual power as stepping stones, he should be able to project himself directly and accurately onto the entrance torn open in the barrier.
He should be able to manage the speed, and unlike the Death Soul Worms, which are slow and lack mobility, even if ambushed by the lake monsters, it shouldn’t be a big deal.
"I’ll go with you."
Kikyo glanced at him lightly, her tone calm yet undeniably firm.
"Is that so... alright then." Gu Mo sighed, seemingly because his idea had been rejected by Kikyo, leaving him with a helpless expression.
But...
Why does he have that smile on his face? It seems like his earlier suggestion was just a courtesy, and he was actually waiting for this... Kikyo fell silent for a mont, inexplicably recalling their first eting, feeling a slight sense of déjà vu.
By now, she’s long since gotten used to him calling her na.
A bit careless...
But never mind...
The moonlight-like witch sighed softly and turned her gaze towards Dream City ahead. What was needed now was to quickly deal with the demon lurking there and rescue this world trapped in eternal stasis...
...
...
"It’s truly a terrifying world, everything has been stopped..."
Master Maitreya sat atop the little fox Qi Bao, inflated like a balloon and floating forward, observing this dreamy yet lifeless gray world under the dim moonlight, unable to refrain from making such a remark.
The world five hundred years later exceeded his imagination, but the most terrifying phenonon was the stoppage of ti itself.
Did his grandfather really seal such a terrifying demon back then? Was it really his doing?
Master Maitreya couldn’t help but be a little skeptical.
"Inuyasha! How much longer..." Little Fox Qi Bao’s weary voice rang out, "I’m almost at my limit..."
Flying with Master Maitreya alone, the eighty-kiloter journey was indeed not short. Coupled with his naturally weak demonic power, the little fox was naturally reaching his limit... In the upcoming battle, there’s hardly any help he can offer, only able to save so strength for his companions this way.
"We should be close, the sinister aura ahead is getting stronger... that malicious creature is right ahead! The scent is too obvious!"
Carrying Himura Kago on his back, Dog Number Two gritted his teeth, more eager to find that person and slash him a few tis rather than dealing with Kaguya as Kago ntioned.
"Sesshomaru... has stopped ahead."
Himura Kago suddenly spoke.
They weren’t the only ones rushing; even Sesshomaru, initially targeting them, inexplicably followed them to the present day. Had Himura Kago not quickly rembered the information about the Cloudy Fang, they might have been severely wounded by Big Dog before they could even set out against Kaguya.
As a result, because of the Cloudy Fang, Sesshomaru temporarily refrained from attacking them, and both parties instead advanced in the direction of Mount Fuji.
In the anti, the group burst out from the woods ahead—they hadn’t taken the conventional path but instead cut through directly—in front of them was a vast open area, with a distant lake visible in their sight, the lake surface under the great storm and waves reaching ten ters or more in height.
Giant long bodies burst from the deep water, their heads as large as trucks resembling great serpents or dragons!
They opened their bloody mouths, either viciously biting in a certain direction or spewing frost or fla with blue or red energy rolling in their mouths.
From afar, it appeared like so gigantic octopus monster from the lake, extending its long tentacles, madly flailing around in mid-air.
Gu Mo clutched the witch’s slender waist, leveraging the invisible spiritual power steps in the air to leap and dodge, repeatedly evading dangerous attacks, while the many-headed serpents rushing from the lake below launched attacks at him, trying to prevent him from reaching the lake’s center.
"...Can you hit it? If there’s no chance, should we return to the shore for a break?"
Amidst the howling wind, he spoke loudly.
"I can." Kikyo responded with a calm expression. She adjusted her posture slightly, drew her longbow, and as they leaped again, avoiding two intersecting biting giant heads, she seized the mont to send an arrow downward... hmm, her expression suddenly changed slightly; she turned her arrow and fired in a different direction.
A light sphere happened to fly over the lake at that mont.
The azure demonic power dissipated, revealing the form of an aristocratic figure, who imdiately reached towards Gu Mo to snatch the ancient straight blade hanging from his waist.
It really is the Cloudy Fang!
Finally, once more, he saw it!
A thought flashed through Sesshomaru’s mind, and in the next mont, a Demon-Breaking Arrow coming straight at him expanded to the limit in the reflection of his pupils.
