The earth dried up and lava raged.

Large swaths of the nearby mountains were blood-red scorched earth, red heat flowing everywhere on the cracked earth, and the distant scenery was distorted by the air.

Scorching black smoke rose from everywhere, accompanied by the smell of sulfur that drifted through the purgatory-like land.

"It's so hot, it's hot, it's burning me......"

A dwarf, green-skinned youkai with a human head staff twice as tall as itself, bouncing around the land, muttering words in his mouth.

"I can't stand this hellish place, even the stones on the ground are hot......"

After a difficult journey, it finally came to its destination, but I don't know if it's an illusion, it always feels that the bottom of its feet is ripe.

Faintly, there seemed to be a smell of burnt paste.

"Knife and sword! Knife Knife Zhai! Are you there? ”

The green-skinned monster shouted at the inside of the skull of a huge, unknown monster.

"Please, have you made the forged sword? Today is the day of the agreed delivery! ”

“……”

“……”

Quietly, no one answered.

The evil opinion suddenly had a bad premonition and hurriedly walked in.

The furnishings in the giant skull are like a blacksmith's shop, bellows, furnaces, anvils, and other things, all kinds of hammers, chains, and iron tongs.

The only problem was that it found that it was empty, and there was no human figure.

About a quarter of an hour later, on the outskirts of the volcanic terrain, somewhere in a lush green grassland.

has long silver-white hair, moon marks on his forehead, two red demon lines on his left and right cheeks, hexagonal plums floating on his white kimono, brilliant golden eyes, and extravagance-

Such an expressionless and seemingly taciturn noble son quietly listened to the advice of evil opinions, but his expression did not fluctuate:

"Really...... Did Dao Dao Zhai escape? ”

"A small sin deserves death! Master Sesshomaru. ”

The evil man knelt on the ground and said profusely sweating.

"This person is said to have a clear liking and dislike for things...... I heard that he will never forge a demon sword for someone who does not fall in love. ”

“……”

“……”

"Oh, so ......" Sesshomaru still looked like his face was paralyzed, and his tone was so cold that it was terrifying, "Is he unwilling to forge a suitable demon knife for me Sesshomaru?" ”

"This ...... This ......" the evil opinion trembled, and opened its mouth at this time, thinking that the other party was indeed asking it a question, "how to say this...... It's also something that can't be done if it's hated by others. ”

It seems to be very aware of its master's notoriety.

The next moment, the wind was howling, and it subconsciously looked up.

- What appeared in the field of vision was a shoe-enlarged sole, and its face was firmly imprinted.

……

……

About half a day later.

In the barren mountains and mountains, the sky is as blue as a wash, there are a few white clouds, and the rolling mountains in the distance are of different shapes.

"Huh? Iron Tooth ...... Was it smelted by this old man? ”

On a grassy slope under the shade of a certain big tree, Inuyasha and his party stopped for a while, and they sat in a circle, looking at the strange old man opposite, Inuyasha was also stunned for a long time before reacting.

Because this old man with eyes as big as a light bulb and as thin as a bamboo pole is obviously a monster, and as soon as he comes to the door without saying a word, he attacks him directly.

And when Inuyasha got angry, he suddenly stopped and said that he was a swordsmith who forged iron teeth......

What's going on? But Grandpa Mingjia also proved such a statement.

"That's right, the person who sharpened the iron teeth with your father's teeth is none other than my Dao Daozhai."

The old man with eyes as big as a light bulb sat on the grass, leaning on the three-eyed demon cow behind him, holding his long hammer, and said with a triumphant look on his face.

"So what are you doing here? Did you come to sharpen your knives? ”

Inuyasha's expression was very bad, and the demon knife in his hand was not taken from the other party, so there was no gratitude at all.

And he felt that the old man in front of him was definitely not here to provide after-sales maintenance services.

Sure enough—

"If you're really a good candidate for Irontooth, sharpening knives is a simple matter." "But if you don't have that qualification, I'll break the iron tooth with my own hands." ”

"What?!"

Sunset Kagome, who had been listening attentively, was first excited, breaking her iron teeth, which was absolutely unbearable!

Inuyasha also frowned, and then was a little annoyed: "You guy...... Did you come to test me? ”

"No, because someone wants my life." Dao Daozhai shook his head and said with a serious expression.

"Huh?"

"There's a fool with a mouth full of gibberish who wants me to build a demon knife that can rival the Iron Tooth, or he'll kill me."

The old man stared at Inuyasha with wide eyes, and with great success, "You're going to protect me from that guy." ”

"Hey, old man!"

Inuyasha's forehead popped out, and he stretched out a hand and pressed it the old guy's head:

"It's 'Please protect me' and explain this most basic question for me!"

“…… Well, here he is. ”

At this time, Dao Daozhai suddenly turned his head and looked at the sky in a certain direction with a serious expression.

"Huh?" Inuyasha subconsciously turned his head as well, and then the expression on his face instantly became stunned.

A majestic two-headed dragon demon beast stepped on the flames, quickly approaching the sky from that direction, and the person on its back was his own brother, Sesshomaru.

The "fool with a mouth full of nonsense" that Dao Dao Zhai said, is the killing pill?

It doesn't seem to be something incomprehensible, but the person who specifically named and asked to create a demon knife comparable to iron and broken teeth, how can he think that he is the only one, right?

Sesshomaru, who had a calm expression, left the mount when he was still more than ten meters above the ground, and flew lightly from mid-air.

"Sesshomaru."

The half-demon boy took the initiative to take a few steps forward with an ugly face, broke away from everyone's circle, and confronted his brother alone, which was his subconscious behavior.

“…… Who is he? ”

Coral asked softly in the crowd, his expression equally serious.

"That's Inuyasha's older brother." Master Maitreya held his tin staff horizontally in front of him as if he were facing a great enemy, as if he was ready to enter a battle posture at any moment.

Inuyasha's older brother...... Coral glanced at the two in the confrontation in surprise, could the difference between the two brothers really be so outrageous?

She is a demon slayer by training, and she has been through a lot of battles since she was a child, and although she is a human, her intuition based on experience is quite keen, and she immediately reacts to the breath of inhuman things.

With the wisdom honed by a hundred battles, the knowledge passed down from her ancestors, and the experience gained from fighting many youkai, she can easily see the weaknesses of youkai through their characteristics in battle......

However, all of this was ineffective at this moment, she had never faced such a powerful youkai, and she felt a shudder just by facing it.

That faint demonic aura is not strong, nor is it targeted, it just emanates naturally, but anyone will have the feeling that ordinary people are being targeted by predators at the top of the food chain.

Obviously he was the appearance of a noble son with no one in his eyes, but when his faint gaze swept over, everyone subconsciously had a feeling of wanting to avoid the sight, and fear arose.

Even the coral, who didn't know anything, felt a little powerless and ...... from the bottom of my heart Fear.

"Inuyasha, why did you collude with Totosai?"

Sesshomaru's eyes lingered back and forth on Inuyasha and the old man behind the other party for a long time, and then asked indifferently.

For his condescending tone, Inuyasha first felt uncomfortable for a while.

However, before he could push back in his temper, the old man behind him poked his head out and shouted—

"Do you need to talk about this? To kill you, of course! ”

“……”

“……”

Not only Inuyasha, but Sunset Kagome and others were also speechless for a while.

"Oh......" Sesshomaru nodded calmly, then raised the only remaining hand and clenched it into a claw, his face suddenly shrouded in a heavy haze, "It looks like you're impatient......"

Dao Zhai suddenly shrank his neck in fright: "No, I mean if you can kill Inuyasha, I may build a new demon knife for you......"

“……”

“……”

Inuyasha suddenly had black lines on his head, and under the unusually speechless gaze of several other people, Sunset Kagome screamed even more in annoyance:

"Hey! Why is your rhetoric completely different from the one just now?! ”

Dao Dao Zhai looked up at the sky: "Did I say anything just now?" ”

"Dao Dao Zhai, remember what you just said."

Sesshomaru sneered, and the next moment his figure appeared directly in front of Inuyasha's body, tearing through the air and slapping down with a single claw.

"Inuyasha, you heard it all...... Then suffer death! ”

“……！！”

Inuyasha was startled, but his body reacted faster than he realized, and he immediately pulled out his iron teeth and met him.

Anyway, his relationship with Sesshomaru has never been good, and it is more restrained to not fight when they meet, and it is normal to fight when they meet, and he will not feel that there is anything wrong with it.

But this time it was different, he felt that the fight with Sesshomaru was not out of his own will, but he was inexplicably detained into a black and shiny cauldron-

No one will be happy about this!

If it weren't for Sesshomaru's unreasonable attack, he would now have the urge to turn back and stab that damn old man first.

……

……

There was no movement of air in the forest, and it seemed to be in a dark, suffocating state forever. No matter how high the sun rises outside, there won't be a single ray of light on this place.

The light does not penetrate the depths of this dense forest, and the light in the dense forest cannot escape.

This is a primeval forest near the Fuji Five Lakes, and it will be a famous spot that has been properly developed and maintained countless times in the future. However, in this era of continuous fire, it is difficult for people to survive......

Who has time to focus on a career in tourism development? Even if it is a powerful local daimyo, it is too late to fight, so there is extra energy and budget to focus on these inconsequential aspects.

Therefore, people have no idea what is in this forest, and over time many far-fetched legends have been handed down.

For the nearby villages, this is their legendary forbidden zone, the kind that they must not enter.

It's just that according to their legends, Mo Chen and the bellflower found this area, and the so-called forbidden place is the place where the god was sealed for a long time.

The nearby village is the unlucky village that was slaughtered back then, because a certain big pig's trotters fifty years ago whimsically stole the feather coat of the goddess, but he didn't expect that not only could he not start the dream love affair as he wished.

On the contrary, it also caused the angry Heavenly Maiden to slaughter the village......

Well, these are all things in the past, Mo Chen just remembered that the five treasures corresponded to the Fuji Five Lakes, and the seal of the Mirror of Life was also nearby.

So he made a special trip to confirm first, after all, the mirror of life is the source of everything, and God has been sealed in it for a long time.

It's better to find the mirror than to find other treasures—

If that mirror was in hand first, even if Qu Ling Mo Chen had gathered enough five treasures, it would be impossible to snatch the mirror from Mo Chen.
