Chapter 17: The Millennium, Part 8

(a)

After a few rounds of battle, the two sides decided the winner.

The defeated person is Yakumo Purple.

She fell to one knee with blood dripping from the corners of her mouth, and her body was sore and embarrassed.

The White Jade Tower crumbled under wave after wave of impact, and the surrounding land was ploughed by the flames of magical power, and there was not even a flat ground left. The petals of the westbound demon are sprinkled on the ground, and the cherry blossom demon glows everywhere, like a galaxy pouring down.

Yuyuko of Saigyoji Temple was still floating in the air, unscathed, with a contemptuous smile on her face. The loose kimono flutters in the breeze like the wings of a butterfly. The light curtain of the painting fan behind her and the full-fledged westward demon still shone like a square flower, and the souls of the dead were constantly gathering from afar, and the scene was like a hundred rivers gathering in the sea.

"I said it," Yuyuko said condescendingly, "there's no point, there's no way you're going to stop me." ”

"I am life, I am death, I am the demon of the west. All the living souls and dead souls in heaven and earth are for my use. Being my enemy is tantamount to a mayfly shaking a tree and killing itself. ”

Her voice echoed through the courtyards, as if it had come from the far side.

Yakumo Zi looked up at her, snorted, and actually laughed.

It is true that in this battle, Yakumo Purple has no chance of winning. Halfway through the battle, she realized it.

Compared with other monsters, Zi's biggest advantage, in addition to her weird realm ability, is her thick demon power. If the energy stored in the body of ordinary people is compared to a drop of water, then a slightly stronger youkai or a gifted shrine maiden is a glass of water, and she Yakumo Purple is a long river, with no end in sight.

However, at this time, the Seogyoji Temple Yuyuko is the sea, which is not only endless, but also constantly absorbing rivers everywhere. As long as there is "water" in the world, the "sea" will not dry up.

If you want to defeat Yuyuko completely, you must first cut off the "rivers" of the world, so that she can't absorb new "water". In other words, only by destroying all life and seizing her soul before her can the source of Yuyuko's power be cut off.

This is something that Yakumo Purple can't do, and can't do.

So she's going to fail, she's going to come to this desperate situation where she's just one step away from being doomed, so ...... She could still laugh.

In fact, she has another way, and a way that is not a way.

How can man overcome the sea?

The answer is that man cannot overcome the sea, but he can discover the "side" of the ocean that is beneficial to man and use it.

"Before I die," Yakumo said with a smile, "I still want to say a few words to my old friend, is that okay?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"The realm of the inside and the outside, reversed!"

Suddenly, an invisible force struck Yuyuko. Her body was unharmed, but, in the midst of that body, beneath the epidermis, something void and decisive, was twisted and reversed by this force.

The gorgeous light curtain shattered like glass, and the westbound demon cherry blossoms shook and fell down the cherry blossoms. Yuyuko lowered her head and slowly floated down from the air, kneeling weakly to the ground. From Yakumo's position, it was impossible to see her face, so there was no way to know her expression at this time, but Purple was still relieved.

She knew that the trick had already been made.

"I ...... What have you done......"

Yuyuko's voice was trembling, and the momentum that had suppressed Yakumo Zi was no longer there. Despite this, her strength has not diminished in the slightest, she is just that the "temperament" that is exposed on the outside and the "character" that is converged on the inside have become different.

"yes, what did you do......"

Yakumo Zi looked at her with a wry smile.

There is one point, Purple can see very accurately.

Yuyuko's original soul did not disappear, but perfectly combined with the soul of the Westward Demon, and they were both inside and outside. Neither of them dominates the other, but when one is exposed to the "surface", the other can only be hidden in the "inside". Just as day and night, when the sun rises, the moon does not disappear, it is just hidden.

As long as you use the power of purple to reverse the realm on the surface, hide the part that belongs to the westward demon in the "inside", and let Yuyuko's will be exposed "outside", you can make Yuyuko wake up again.

Again, face reality.

"My strength can't last long......" Yakumo Zi gasped a little hard, and said intermittently, "While it's still time, Yuyuko ......"

"You want to cut off your own soul!"

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and pointed to Yuyuko's back, the mountain of bones piled up under the Westbound Demon Tree. Youji was lying on the top of that hill, and his two precious knives were stuck beside him.

"Quick, use that Louguan sword to separate your soul from the soul of the Westbound Demon. If you don't do it at this time, you won't have a chance again!"

Yuyuko turned her head and saw the dead monster, and she was stunned for a moment, and it took a while to come back to her senses. With a sad look, she stood up and climbed the mountain of bones step by step.

Then, she stretched out her hand to the short knife, the White Mansion Sword.

"Yuyuko?" Murasaki's eyes widened, "What do you want to do?"

"Louguan sword cut off the soul, and Bailou sword cut off the confusion. Youyouzi pulled the Bailou sword out of the pile of bones, and the silver-white mirror-like blade reflected her miserable smile, "The dead person, why do you need to save yourself......?

"Yuyuko!"

Yakumo Zi was in a hurry, hurriedly opened a gap, took out the blood she had taken from Nalan Twilight in the morning, held it in both hands, and shouted:

"Listen to me, Yuyuko, I can save you!"

"Even if you don't rely on the power of the Westward Demon, I can continue your life, as long as you use this blood......"

Before she could finish speaking, Yuyuko turned around and slashed horizontally through the air with the White House Sword. The blood ball in Zi's hand burst like a balloon filled with water when it touched the tip of a needle, and the crimson blood splashed all over her body, and her expression also froze in shock.

"No need, Purple, thank you for everything you've done for me......"

Yuyuko's voice was as cold and resolute as her expression.

"There's no need for this, Yuyuko," Murasaki cried, "it's not your fault!"

"And whose fault is it?"

Yuyuko sat on the mountain of bones, sitting beside Youji, pinching the belt around her waist with two fingers, and with a slight twitch, the light kimono slipped down like a cicada. Her body was plump, round, and as white as snowflakes, and only the corpses under her feet could compare to it.

Yakumo Zi looked up at this extremely beautiful body, wanting to speak, but he was speechless. The beauty that unfolded before her eyes was solemn and holy, and there was no room for any form of desecration.

"Looking back, my life is a life of constant loss. I spent countless sleepless nights alone, trembling in fear, for the next morning the people I dear would be gone. ”

"Now, I'm no longer scared because there's nothing left to lose. ”

Yuyuko raised the White House Sword and aimed the tip of the sword at his neck.

"You know, Purple ......"

She gave Yakumo a final smile.

"While I was asleep, I came to the afterlife. I was expecting to find everything I had lost there, but luckily ......"

"There's nothing there. ”

The white mansion's short knife stabbed Yuyuko's neck, and blood bloomed on the pale skin, like the Manju Sawa on both sides of the River Styx.

Sekyuka Temple fell, and the flourishing cherry blossoms withered in that instant. Powder snow poured down, burying the cold body deeply.

The dark clouds in the sky stopped rolling, separated from each other, and opened a small opening. A beam of golden sunlight fell down the opening, just shining on the dead westward demon, and from a distance, it looked like a stairway to heaven. Thousands of souls bound by the westward demon slowly rose to the sky country along this ray of sunlight.

The snow stopped.

Yakumo sat helplessly on her knees, staring at the mountain of bones covered with cherry blossoms, tears streaming down silently. Until a voice that shouldn't have existed called her back from her grief.

"Mistress Yuyuko...... I'm ......"

The already dead soul demon jealous sat up with a head full of cherry blossom petals, and looked around, his eyes full of incomprehension. Beside him, floated the last soul that refused to leave—that was his own soul.

The tragedy of the life of Fujimi's daughter who manipulated death has come to an end. As for the undead princess and her half-human, half-soul twin sword guards, that's another story......

(b)

On the other side of the Santu River, the palace of the Hades. Here the souls of the dead are subjected to final judgment, either to hell or to heaven.

The king of the Enma Demon has always judged good and evil, good and evil, and has always been upright and majestic, and the ghosts and ghosts on the left and right are all capable people who are in charge of their own affairs, and they are by no means indiscriminate.

However, at this time, all of them fell into an unprecedented dilemma, scratching their ears and cheeks, like ants on a hot pot.

This predicament was caused by this stupid little girl under the high hall.

"Thou hast united with demons and indulged so much that thou hast lost thy life, which is a heinous sin, and thou shalt go to hell and shall never turn over, but ......"

Hades looked down at the girl's soul and sighed softly.

"Tell me again with Lonely, who is your surname, and how old is it?"

"Yes!"

The woman blinked her cherry eyes, raised her arms high, and said with a hippie smile:

"Saigyoji Temple...... Belch...... Yuyuko: Seems to be the name?"

"Age...... It should be twenty-four, no, it could be twenty-three...... I'm sorry I can't remember, hehehe......"

"Do you remember your family history, life and the cause of your death?" asked Hades again.

"Report to the king, I don't remember!"

Yuyuko replied loudly with a high spirit.

Hades could see clearly that this kid was not lying. Her past has long been spread throughout the underworld, and she should have been "black" without any controversy. But the soul in front of him, Hades was surprised to find that it was "white".

It's not just "white", it's also "blank", it's all clean, and there is not even a trace of residue left.

It's like a newborn baby.

This is the soul of the woman named Yuyuko of the Saikyō Temple, or rather, the new soul born after her soul is combined with the soul of the Saikyō demon, which Hades will never admit to mistake, but...... Why is this so?

Hades turned his head and looked at Yakumo Purple and Soul Monster, who were kneeling respectfully on the jury. Yakumo Purple is a frequent visitor here, and she is also a problem child who is pure black, so she will not mention her affairs for now.

As for the bogey...... That's another freak on par with this Yuyuko. Half alive and half dead, half human and half ghost, Yang Shou suddenly jumped from 70 years to a thousand years, such a situation, even if it is the king of Enma, it is the first time to see it.

"Yakumo!" exclaimed Hades, "Explain the ins and outs of this matter with me!"

"Yes!"

Zi bowed and told the whole thing. The king of Hades took the white building sword handed over by Youji, checked it several times, and then glanced at the Youyuzi of Xixing Temple who was smiling and smiling, and couldn't help but shake his head.

"Cut off the myth, but the things before the death, it is really a strange artifact, strange, strange......"

She whispered, and suddenly raised her voice, and shouted:

"Yuyuko!"

"In!"

Yuyuko raised her hand.

"Put your hands down!"

"Yes King!"

"Your soul is hopeless and deserves to go to hell. Hades pronounced, "But you have completely cut off your past, and the lonely eyes cannot find a trace of black in you, so they cannot condemn you to hell." Rules are rules, and I will not break them. ”

"yes, ahhhh

When Yuyuko heard this, he jumped up directly, raised his arms high, and cheered, completely treating this solemn Hades Hall as his home. Seeing this, the Enma King immediately frowned, patted the case and shouted:

"Silence!"

"Yes King!"

Yuyuko put away the presumptuous cheers, but didn't put away her smile. It's just that the requirements for her can't be too high......

"Still, your power is too dangerous for Lonely to throw you into reincarnation. Hades continued, "In the future, you will be the head of the undead, dwelling in the underworld, ruling over the necromancers, and guiding them on the way, and thou wilt be commanded?"

"Got to know the king!" Yuyuko happily patted her chest and packed the ticket, "just leave it to me...... What kind of temple Yuyuko is here?"

"Saigyoji. Hades held his forehead and reminded helplessly.

"Yes, it's Yuyuko of Xixing Temple!

To be honest, it's completely unreliable, but it's the best thing to do right now.

"Soul Monster!" Hades shouted as he turned to the jury again.

"Yes!" Youji lowered his head.

"Your half-human, half-spirit body should not stay in the world for a long time, you should go to the underworld, be the court master, and assist the Xixing Temple for generations, you can get the order?"

"Yes, my lord!"

"Yakumo!" Hades ordered Yakumo again, "You must maintain the seal of the Westward Demon and protect the safety of the Sekyo of the Westward Temple." If the westward demon is reborn, the lonely general will only ask!"

"Yes, sir. Yakumo bent down deeply, "Everything is as you instructed." ”
