Chapter 56: Confirmed Eyes
After the battle broke out during the day, Mo Chen and the shrine maiden left the scene and chose to go in the opposite direction of Inuyasha and the others.
But to be reasonable, it wasn't Mo Chen who lost, and he didn't want to take care of Inuyasha, who had the illusion of life, and it should be the other party's escape to escape...... So the speed of travel between the two is just a relatively normal kind.
- Say fast but not fast, slow but not slow.
It's just that he followed the general breath of the four soul fragments sensed by the witch's spiritual sense, and moved in the direction he was directed, but on the way, because of Cong Yunya, he was targeted by the resurrected Agate Pill again.
So in the final analysis, the distance between Mo Chen and Inuyasha and the others eventually opened up a straight-line distance of about hundreds of kilometers.
Therefore, it is only not too late for them to rush over after noticing the abnormal movement.
In fact, Mo Chen and Kikyo were the first to rush to the scene of the crime, which was near a village.
The village had just been attacked by ghosts, and although the disaster was prevented in time due to the presence of a group of strange people, it would certainly be unrealistic to say that there were no casualties.
Because the house is destroyed, because the crops are trampled down, because the relatives are eaten...... The villagers were either frowning or sobbing quietly, or simply weeping.
Even the villagers, who were lucky enough to have nothing to lose, were pale, scared, and concerned.
The rabbit dies and the fox is sad, the thing hurts its kind, and people feel the same way.
Basically, it was a gloomy and bleak appearance, and it seemed that even if a tiger came to hunt at this time, it couldn't help but feel compassion when it saw such a scene.
However, this is the truest portrayal of this era, they are the kind of luck at best, and someone can stop it when disaster strikes.
Other villages that don't know how many times are completely destroyed when they encounter such a problem......
And what is a youkai eating a man? They haven't seen people eat people yet, and that's the most terrible thing!
……
……
After glancing at the tragic situation of the village from a distance, Kikyo couldn't help but sigh lightly, and then stretched out his hand and grabbed the corner of Mo Chen's clothes who was walking briskly in front of him.
"Huh? What's wrong, did you find any clues? ”
The young man who felt it turned around and looked at the shrine maiden with a little puzzlement.
"It's not...... Just let your horses get out of here first, the villagers look terrified, they can't afford to worry about any more. ”
The shrine maiden said calmly, then raised her slender finger and pointed to the sky.
Mo Chen raised his eyes and saw that the white horse of the divine horse was stepping on the fire with four hooves, and was happily spreading joy in the sky, going around in circles, leaving dazzling tail flames in the dark night sky......
But such a conspicuous demon horse was spreading joy in the sky, and the nearby village was the one that had just been attacked.
It was impossible for the villagers not to notice the presence of Flamehoof, so they became more and more afraid.
- They can't tell the difference between youkai and only that youkai are youkai.
Mo Chen didn't have any opinion on this, his attitude towards Yanhoof had always been free-range, and when he didn't need to ride his mount, he let it run around the neighborhood by itself.
Anyway, as long as it doesn't run very far, the distance of ten or twenty kilometers can be said to be nearby, and it can be called over anytime and anywhere.
After letting Yanho leave, the villagers really breathed a sigh of relief, and they were no longer as worried as before, and their faces were colorless.
It's just that they are also not worried about the remaining two, after all, who knows if they are human or not...... Only by keeping an eye on it can you run away decisively when the situation is not right.
Regardless of the sight of the villagers from a distance, Mo Chen quickly checked the battle scene around him and found that it was not much different from what he expected.
"There are no signs of large-scale destruction of the terrain, and it looks like it hasn't been able to release the wind wounds......"
Near the corpse of the giant ghost creature was a circle of ground cut by the hurricane's knife qi, like a spiral shape, close to a circle, and the torn ground spread radially towards the outer ring.
But the diameter is not large, about five or six meters.
Mo Chen knew that if it was a wind injury that completely erupted, the ground in a range of thousands of meters or even more would be ploughed to pieces and full of holes, and that would be a normal phenomenon.
Now this situation is more like the mystery of Inuyasha's deliberate use of the demon sword-
However, as soon as the wound of the wind was evoked, it did not have time to erupt, and it was still in a state of warm-up, and the storm created by the demonic power was forcibly dispersed, and it was unable to cause more terrible damage.
"The demonic aura is indeed very strange, and the demonic aura left behind by Inuyasha seems to have become quite ...... Quite pure. ”
Kikyo, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, although her tone was still flat, but her gaze as she looked at the corpse of the ghost became slightly solemn.
There was no trace of killing the enemy with a demon knife, but this powerful ghost was directly torn apart.
Although Inuyasha and the others seem to have left this place overnight for some reason, it did happen not long ago, and the scene was not damaged much, so there are many clues.
This powerful ghost creature knew that it was not an ordinary product just by looking at the residual breath.
But it was torn apart in the middle of the battle first, and then in the next encounter, it was dismantled in an instant, and its head was in a different place......
Looking at the frightened, angry, and disbelief in its frozen pupils, one can be convinced that it was almost a one-sided act of torture.
Humans can't do such a thing, not all non-humans even have innate weapons like minions, plus in addition to this ghost that has been torn apart, only Inuyasha's demonic aura is left.
- Isn't it clear who did the good deeds?
"It still has the breath of broken iron teeth on its teeth, I'm afraid it really bit the demon knife......"
Mo Chen stood in front of the ghost head, which was bigger than half of his own, pretended to inspect it, and then organized his language, preparing to deduce the process from the results and draw conclusions.
But at this time, a vigorous voice sounded-
"Ahh——!!h
Mo Chen and the witch both turned around and looked behind them at the same time, only to see a black-haired little Lori wearing well-fitting and beautiful clothes running towards this side.
"I won!"
"Idiot, I didn't say I was going to race against you!"
A little green-skinned monster shouted loudly behind it, trying to move its little short legs, holding a human head cane that was half a section taller than its whole body, and panting to keep up.
"Wow! Evil Grandpa, you see, there is really a ghost who died in front, just like Sesshomaru-sama said! ”
The little girl didn't listen to what it was saying at all, but with all her might, her little fists clenched, her eyes shining so bright that she could only see the marker of the end in front of her.
"Stupid, don't run so fast, there's someone ahead!"
The evil opinion was discovered at a glance, and next to the huge ghost corpse in front of him, there were two figures standing, and they hurriedly pulled the little girl who didn't know the height of the sky at all.
"Huh? Really, let's go over and ask and see who did it. ”
The little black-haired girl's eyes lit up again, and she didn't understand why her "evil grandfather" was holding her back.
“……”
“……”
A deep sense of powerlessness suddenly filled the whole body of the evil view.
This little ghost head has become so noisy now, it is said that he did not speak until he was bitten to death by wolves before, and was revived by natural teeth......
I don't know what Sesshomaru-sama thinks, not only did he use his natural teeth to save such a little orphan girl from death, but also took her with him...... It's obviously not necessary at all, just throw her away.
Of course, it only dares to think about this kind of thought, and as for saying it, it is completely undaring.
"No need to ask, Inuyasha did it. However, he should have been injured as well. ”
An indifferent voice came from behind, and the evil opinion suddenly became agitated, and he quickly turned around and respectfully called "Sesshomaru-sama".
The noble son, who had long silver-white hair and a moon mark on his forehead, stepped forward expressionlessly, and glanced indifferently at the corpse of the ghost in front of him.
Only then did he shift his gaze to the two people next to the corpse.
It just so happened that the two people on the opposite side were also looking at him calmly.
“……”
“……”
There's no sense of tension or touch-and-strike. Both sides just looked at each other, then withdrew their gaze and said nothing.
After all, Sesshomaru was originally that kind of person, although he was very arrogant and conceited, but he was not the kind of person who would take the initiative to find trouble for no reason, and people who were irrelevant and didn't know him didn't exist at all in his eyes.
And Kikyo is not the kind of witch who thinks that as long as it is a youkai, it must be killed.
Although she found that the other party might be the strongest youkai she had ever seen, her aura didn't look like the tyrannical and bloody type, so she naturally didn't feel anything wrong.
But—
After glancing at Mo Chen next to her lightly, she raised the corners of her eyebrows imperceptibly, and then asked softly:
"You know?"
"I don't know, but I've heard of it, it's said to be Inuyasha's half-brother, the eldest son of the King of Fighting Teeth, but it's just a complete youkai."
Mo Chen smiled and said in a relaxed tone.
Sesshomaru furrowed his eyebrows imperceptibly and glanced at him again, but he still didn't say anything. He wasn't a nobody himself, and the two people on the other side weren't obviously ordinary humans, so there was nothing strange about him knowing that he existed.
And the person on the other side was not slandering, but simply stating a fact, and of course he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
The little human girl looked at the other side, and then at Sesshomaru-sama next to her, her dark eyes full of curiosity.
The evil opinion is angry, and the loyal it feels that even such a thing is a great disrespect to its own master, but the killing pill doesn't care, and it can't help it.
And at this time, Sesshomaru had completely shifted his attention back to the huge ghost head.
After looking at it for a while, he already had a certain number in his heart, and the ghost tooth still smelled of broken iron teeth.
As he expected, this ghost's teeth can crush iron and shatter teeth, which is why he deliberately rushed over here after smelling the wind and probably sensing what was happening.
But the problem I still can't figure out is the smell of Inuyasha's blood.
Inuyasha's blood has changed, no longer the taste of half-demon blood that it used to be, but the same smell of youkai blood as he used to be, the same as his father.
But now that group of people left here early, maybe they had just solved this ghost and set off immediately, taking the fragments of iron and broken teeth and hurrying overnight to find Dao Daozhai to repair the demon knife.
So this matter can't be verified for the time being, and the most important thing at the moment is to take this ghost's teeth and find a qualified swordsmith to build an evil sword-
An evil sword that rivals the power of Iron Shattering Fangs.
Sesshomaru took a few steps forward, reaching out to grab one of the horns of the demon head and lift it up, but inadvertently swept his gaze over the witch's waist.
Suddenly, his eyes froze slightly.
