What kind of relationship?
Gu Mo’s gaze was sowhat unfocused, looking in the direction beyond the corridor. In a certain sense, this question was indeed sowhat difficult to answer.
What kind of relationship did he have with Ah Xiu?
The witch looked at him calmly, her face seemingly still devoid of any expression, only slightly furrowing her brows: "Is it hard to say? Or can’t it be said?"
"Well... it’s not that it can’t be said, I just don’t know how to say it." Gu Mo scratched his cheek with his index finger. This question was truly worth pondering. His relationship with Ah Xiu should currently be relatively straightforward and aboveboard, although due to so misunderstandings, it had beco slightly complicated towards the end.
However, he did not take advantage of Ah Xiu’s innocence by going along with it, but decisively withdrew from the scenario. Just thinking about it felt heart-wrenching... ahem, it made him admire himself.
So, should it probably be... not a problem?
However, Gu Mo did not forget the paper clones of Abe no Seii and Minamoto no Yoshiie. The existence of these two masters was proof that he would return in the future, and also probably with Ah Xiu... emmmmm, so how should this be said?
His mind spun rapidly, Gu Mo hesitated for a mont, and said sowhat uncertainly:
"Actually, it’s just like with you, Kikyo..."
In any case, let’s focus on the present, from a current state perspective. Strictly speaking, that should be the case. He and Ah Xiu are currently traveling companions... Yes, indeed, just like with Kikyo, at least for now, that’s the case.
Like with ?
Kikyo was montarily taken aback, then her gaze instantly beca profound and contemplative.
At this mont, the black-haired girl across from them made a move. Her expression was calm, or rather indifferent, but she had no intention of letting the two of them converse comfortably. Instead, she lightly extended a finger in that direction!
She didn’t unleash any terrifying demonic power shocks or curse talisman light cannons.
But with this crisp and decisive action, in an instant, a giant apparition appeared behind the black-haired girl, an exceedingly mystical creature half-turtle, half-serpent. A turtle and a serpent coiled around each other, head to tail, intermittently visible, appearing both sacred and majestic!
Its body was incredibly imnse, occupying almost half of a large hall. Upon its appearance, the surrounding spatial area seed to pulse with waves, the tides surging. It was as if standing on the vast, endless ocean, in an endless sea chasm...
Yet, the water flow was also indistinct, much like the spiritual entity of the turtle-snake fusion itself, semi-transparent and shifting between reality and illusion.
The Black Tortoise, turtle and snake coiling and supporting each other.
The great serpent raised its head to hiss, the massive turtle opened its mouth to inhale.
In the next instant, an incredibly terrifying aura and pressure swept in all directions, even those distantly approaching suddenly felt an unspeakable sense of suffocation and oppression!
"...!!"
The witch instantly sensed an alarm in her heart and then felt her slender waist tighten. A now sowhat familiar and accustod whistling wind sound reached her ears, soon drowned out by a deafening roar!
Boom!
Boom! Boom boom!!
Suspended in mid-air, her long hair fluttered as she instinctively turned her head to look downward, only to see that the corridor below was completely subrged in rolling waves. The dark water surface boiled like porridge, and massive water columns shot skyward!
Each water column had a diater of dozens of ters, shooting up and unknowably high into the sky at the mont of their ascent. It was a terrifying impact no one wanted to face.
The corridor where the two had been was shattered into countless pieces by an unimaginably imnse power, the impact of the massive water columns explosively tearing the air apart, creating vacuum zones around them... As these water columns exploded forth, the corridors along their path were blasted apart like dandelions in the wind!
Even the farther structures, connected by winding corridors in Dream City—other palaces, grand buildings, terraces, pavilions, towers, and railings built with jade stones...
Whether grand and majestic or exquisite and elegant, they were all lifted into the air by the towering massive water columns, turning to dust.
In essence, a corner of Dream City was completely smashed apart, with giant pillars, logs, debris, and countless unidentifiable fragnts raining down with the torrential rain from the sky, fragnts of structures blasted to pieces by the water columns, high in the sky, shattered into fragnts and pieces.
At this mont, it was as if a violent storm had struck this entirely dark world.
Amid the storm-like destructive force, there were also dense hailstones mixed in.
"It’s actually the Black Tortoise... I suspect it’s part of the uniform ensemble."
Kikyo imdiately erected a defense barrier, countering the residual impact and deflecting falling debris from above. She also heard Gu Mo’s whisper. Looking up, she noticed that his mouth seed to twitch slightly as he intently focused on the direction of the Half-Demon maiden below.
"What uniform ensemble? Is this her power?"
