Time passed little by little, and the battlefield that had been filled with hissing suddenly became quiet, and in the face of the equal death brought by the Westbound Demon, no living creature could be indifferent.

Brilliant cherry blossoms covered the battlefield, and the falling petals covered the bodies of the living, as if to bury this sin, quietly letting everything sink into the embrace of the earth.

When death lifts the veil and reveals its truest side, all glory, faith, courage, and hatred will come to naught.

No matter how ferocious the youkai is, they can't tear apart the fear of death, and everything will eventually return to eternal silence.

Looking at all this that happened on the battlefield, Takeya's heart went from the initial trembling shock to an indifferent calm, and perhaps from today on, the definition of death will be reset in his concept.

Yakumo Zi still stayed after all, but his murderous gaze never took off Wu Ye's body, even if the other party slashed at each other in the next second, it was not impossible.

Coercion - or taking advantage of the life of the other person's most valued friend, when the despicable and ruthless are displayed in front of their eyes, people can really know how cruel they can be.

"Let's go, almost." Takeya's indifferent gaze swept across the battlefield covered in cherry blossoms, and he stepped into the gap first, and Yakumo followed closely behind with gritted teeth.

Coming to the center of the battlefield, the sense of oppression brought by the Westward Demon came to his face, his body instinctively trembled, and he endured the discomfort, Wu Ye waved his hand, and a blue flame surrounded the Westward Demon.

Cherry blossoms are flying all over the sky, and under the shadow of the giant trees that are raging on the earth, Yuko's small figure looks so humble and pitiful.

The dark blue flames stopped her from moving forward, and the westward demon who was manipulating this body probably sensed something, and slightly made Yuko raise her head, and looked at Takeya and Yakumo Zi who were standing on both sides of the sky with their eyes that had lost their vitality.

The moment her fingertips touched the flames, a sharp wail unconsciously emanated from Yuko's body, it was a pain from the depths of her soul, like the torture of endless hell, Yuko's pale face was dyed red with anger, and her distorted expression revealed a wordless terror.

Yakumo Zi secretly clenched her fists, she couldn't bear to see her friend become like this, and she couldn't even bear to stand on the opposite side of her friend, although it was helpless, but to tell the truth-

If she hadn't been forced by Takeya, she wouldn't have frowned even if she watched the entire Kyoto and even the entire land being ravaged by the Westward Demon.

As she herself said, the first thing in her heart is always Yuko's safety, and if any questions are raised before this, then all the follow-up is empty talk.

It's just that the kind of flame manipulated by Wu Ye is too terrifying, and the damage to the Westward Demon is far above her understanding, looking at the other party's posture, if she still chooses to seek to move backwards, I'm afraid that the other party will directly put the Westward Demon with Yuko......

Damn it!

“...... Let's go. Wu also said in a slightly dull tone.

Even if he didn't use his eyes to see, he could know what kind of gaze Yakumo Zi would use to slam himself at this moment, and there was no superfluous nonsense, and Wu Ye manipulated the demon power to launch the power of the realm that he was already familiar with.

The power of manipulating the realm, the effect is always invisible, but the size of the effect can be seen from the changes in things, and once the realm of life and death is activated, Takeshi can immediately see it clearly, and the body of Yuko, who is housed in the westward demon, immediately shows a painful expression.

Without hesitation, she increased the output of demonic power, and in Yuko's painful cry, the phantom of the giant tree behind her began to show signs of withering little by little.

"It's now, do it, Purple!"

"You don't need to say it." Yakumo Zi agreed coldly, although there was a lot of resentment in her heart, she had no choice at this time.

Taking a deep breath, she mobilized all the demonic power in her body in an instant, and the reversed realm of life and death crushed the dead leaves of the Westbound Demon into powder in a moment.

The power of the two realms fell on the body of the Westbound Demon at the same time, and under the continuous running-in, it gradually tended to be balanced.

The westward demon, who was suddenly suppressed by Takeya's powerful power, had no room to resist at all, so he had to use Yuko's body to let out a cry like a dying cry.

Everything is going in a smooth direction, the westward demon is being weakened by Takeshi on the one hand, and pulled back from the brink of collapse by Yakumo Purple on the other hand, the only thing that worries people is whether Yuko's spirit can support it under such a strong change.

But before that, there are other issues that need to be addressed.

"Tsk, damn it......" Yakumo Zi, who was manipulating the realm, suddenly looked embarrassed, she found that the speed of consumption of the demonic power in her body was too fast!

In the face of the overwhelming power of the Westward Demon, Yakumo Zi's own demonic power alone could not match it, but fortunately, this problem Wu had already anticipated.

"Don't stop, just keep going, Purple!" As he spoke, Takeya crossed the gap and stepped behind Yakumo Murasaki, placing a hand on her shoulder.

Takeya's demonic power is the most special of all youkai, not only can he take the demonic power of other monsters, but he can also overload his own demonic power into the other party's body.

Just like the connection established with Remilia through the Divine Spear, the power of the realm manipulated by Takeya himself originally came from Yakumo Murasaki, and the demonic power of the two of them could be fused almost without resistance.

In a few breaths, a huge wave of demonic power poured into Yakumo Zi's body, making her realm power, which had tended to languish, shine again.

"What are you kidding, which side is the monster......"

Yakumo Zi looked back in surprise, she really didn't expect that Wu Ye would be able to supply her with the demon power to fight while activating her ability, didn't this mean that he alone was enough to deal with the Westward Demon?

Compared to the last time she was saved by Wu Ye in such an incomprehensible way, this time she was awake and could clearly feel the strength of the other party.

"Hey, it's not time to relax, don't get distracted, Purple."

"Don't take our name for granted!" With that, Yakumo Zi turned his head with a cold face, concentrating on dealing with the westward demon in front of him.

Takeshi, who knew Yakumo's character, also understood that now was not the time to calculate, but to be honest, he himself was really relieved, the Westward Demon was a little simpler than he imagined.

Originally, if Yakumo Purple was in her heyday, it should be the other party who was responsible for taking the initiative, and it was the most appropriate thing to assist herself, after all, in the final analysis, the power of the realm was her ability.

It's just that it happened suddenly, and it's a blessing to be able to do it to this extent.

The Westward Demon has no consciousness of its own, it only instinctively releases its own power, and Wu Ya, who is aware of this, has formulated the current method of cracking it.

The non-conscious Westward Demon is just a baby in terms of spiritual intelligence, and it couldn't be easier to deal with after finding the right way.

However, at the moment when Wu Ye relaxed, a change occurred.

The westward demon resides in Yuko's body, and the withering giant tree phantom is just a materialized "power", which means that it is Yuko's body that is still in action.

Like a newborn life, a scream with a strong consciousness came out of Yuko's mouth.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaa————！！”

The shout soaked in demonic power seemed to hit Takeya's soul directly, and the blood all over his body seemed to turn into flames, and the familiar and unfamiliar power that slept in the depths of his body was surging wildly.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa——Aaaa——！！”

Song? No, it's the name?!

Although there was no reason, Takeya could be sure that the westward demon who was manipulating Yuko was not angry, nor was it wailing, but calling someone's name.

The roar of power still echoed between the heavens and the earth, as if something was brewing, Yuko suddenly stopped screaming rhythmlessly, she closed her mouth, and the pupils of the godless eyes were suddenly lit up with a strange purple color.

In an instant, Takeya seemed to catch a glimpse of a cherry blossom falling on his shoulder, and then the next second he was burned to ashes by the blue flames that poured out.

The weapon of gluttony was suddenly stripped from the westward demon, and the wine cup of embodied sin was held in Yuko's hand, and behind her, six wings slowly grew, and when he saw this scene, his pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle's eye.

No, it's impossible, doesn't it say——?!

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa————！！”

With incomparable power, as if to vent half of the pent-up emotions, the roar of the Westward Demon resounded through the sky, and the body of Yuko, which it manipulated, finally shouted out the name in its entirety:

"Ya———— ————!!!!"

"Hell !!"

Wu Ye's whole body trembled, the realm power in his hand stopped abruptly, he raised his head, opened his mouth, and his throat seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't even make a simple note, because he actually saw the shadow of Shenqi on Yuko's body!

The mocking smile was like looking at a drowned floating corpse, the malice that had not changed from beginning to end enveloped Takeya's whole body, and the blood all over his body had lost its last trace of temperature as if it had been frozen, only the cold flame was burning.
