Chapter 527 Naraku... Tessaiga... Wind Scar
Chapter 527 Naraku... Tessaiga... Wind Scar
The chirping of birds on the branches fell silent instantly, and the birds flapped their wings and fled in panic, leaving only the rustling sound of leaves being whipped around by the gale.
Maitreya's expression also turned serious, and the frivolous smile that had been on his face vanished without a trace.
He released the wind acupoint on his right hand, and his aura became sharper.
"I didn't expect Naraku to find us so quickly. It seems a fierce battle is inevitable. Sango, don't worry, even if it costs me my life, I will protect you!"
Coral did not respond. Her left hand gripped the hilt of the samurai sword at her waist tightly, while her right hand gripped the flying bone forged from a thousand-year-old demon bone behind her back.
Her back was taut as a string, and the bloody images of her people's tragic deaths flashed through her mind, intensifying the hatred in her heart.
The scabbard and blade of the samurai sword rubbed together gently, making a soft "rustling" sound, which was the clarion call for her to go to the battle for revenge.
"Naraku, I've waited far too long for this day. Today, I will make you pay for your crimes in blood!"
Coral raised her flying bone and aimed it steadily at the direction where the demonic energy was most concentrated.
Suddenly, the mica beside him erupted with violent demonic power. Its snow-white fur stood on end, and a faint orange-red halo emanated from its body. The halo grew stronger and stronger, and its body rapidly expanded in the demonic power, transforming in an instant into a huge two-tailed cat demon.
Four legs and two tails burst into flames of bright orange-red. As the flames danced, they dispelled some of the surrounding shadows and illuminated Coral's resolute face.
Uchiha Sanfeng stood at the end of the line, his expression eerily calm, as if the heavy killing intent and overwhelming demonic aura around him had nothing to do with him.
He crossed his arms and his indifferent gaze slowly swept over his surroundings. His aura seemed calm, but in reality, he was already on guard, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any time.
Naraku has finally appeared.
Very well, this is a good opportunity to test my strength and let Coral believe that my promise is not an empty lie, so that she will willingly become my woman.
Moreover, eliminating Naraku would save a lot of trouble.
A chilling, grating laugh slowly drifted from the thick clouds, carrying a strong sense of malice, echoing throughout the entire mountain forest.
"Inuyasha, and you little brats, I never expected to run into you here! It's like finding a needle in a haystack. Today, I will eliminate you all and settle our score once and for all!"
A black figure slowly descended from the clouds, surrounded by thick, inky black mist. The mist contained a faint aura of poison, and wherever it passed, the air became sticky and foul.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, a black ripple spread out. The deadly poison spread along the ripple, leaving nothing but barren land and turning the soil black and foul-smelling.
Naraku was surrounded by a dense swarm of hellish bees, which blotted out the sky and almost completely enveloped his figure.
Those hell bees were the size of two fists, their bodies were as black as ink, their wings glowed with a faint purple light, and when they flapped their wings, they made a piercing buzzing sound.
The venomous bees buzzed and swarmed around Naraku, occasionally swooping down towards the group as if taunting them or awaiting Naraku's command. Their tiny compound eyes gleamed with an eerie red light, exuding a deadly danger.
"Naraku! I will kill you to avenge all those you have killed!"
Upon seeing this, Inuyasha's amber eyes were filled with crimson blood vessels, and his red robes fluttered wildly due to his demonic power.
He gripped the hilt of the Tessaiga tightly with both hands, pouring demonic power into it continuously. The Tessaiga, originally of ordinary size, instantly swelled under the nourishment of the demonic power, transforming into a large, gleaming fang-like blade.
Immediately afterward, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and a burning rage surged within his amber pupils as he roared, "Wind's Wound!"
The demonic power emanating from the blade intensified, and the white light that had been surrounding the blade surged dramatically. The next second, five condensed, almost tangible wind blades burst forth from the blade, each brimming with sharp demonic power. Like five silver lightning bolts, they hurtled toward Naraku at breakneck speed, carving five deep trenches into the ground wherever they passed.
Seeing the five wind blades hurtling towards him, Naraku's mockery remained undiminished. He soared several feet into the sky and calmly dodged the wind blades' attack.
Five wind blades slammed into the mountain wall behind them with a loud "boom," instantly blasting five gaps in the mountain wall, sending debris flying and making the battle all the more brutal.
Seeing that his wind blade was so easily dodged by Naraku, the crimson in Inuyasha's eyes intensified.
He gritted his teeth, his demonic power surged again, and he stomped his feet hard on the ground.
With a muffled thud, he left two deep footprints on the hard ground. His demonic power transformed into a dazzling red light, rushing towards Naraku in mid-air. His red robes fluttered in the wind.
He had only one thought in his mind: to kill Naraku and avenge all those who had been killed by Naraku!
As he roared, he swung the Tessaiga, slashing fiercely at Naraku's head. The blade, imbued with sharp demonic power, sliced through the air with a piercing "sizzle" sound, creating tiny vortexes of air as it was torn apart.
"I will tear you to pieces, grind your bones to dust, and make you pay for your crimes with your blood, so that you will suffer a terrible death!"
At this moment, Inuyasha was blinded by rage, his mind filled only with thoughts of revenge. He was completely unaware of the danger around him, nor did he notice Miroku's anxious cries.
"You? Even with the Tessaiga, you're nothing but trash. You're utterly overestimating yourself!"
Naraku's eyes were full of disdain. Inuyasha's attack was nothing more than the insignificant squawking of ants, not even worthy of his serious attention.
Immediately, he raised his hand and commanded the hell bees surrounding him, "Attack! Bite him to death! Devour all his flesh and blood, and let him die in agony!"
Upon hearing Naraku's command, the hellish bees instantly became even more frenzied. They buzzed and their voices grew increasingly piercing as they swarmed towards Inuyasha like a tidal wave.
The toxic odor in the air grew increasingly intense, so thick it was almost tangible, making it difficult to breathe.
Inuyasha's heart sank as he watched the swarming poisonous bees approach. He gripped the Tessaiga tightly and frantically slashed at the hellish bees around him, not daring to relax for a moment.
Upon seeing this, Maitreya's expression changed drastically. His heart leaped into his throat, and cold sweat instantly covered his forehead, trickling down his cheeks and dripping onto the ground.
He waved frantically in Inuyasha's direction, his heart filled with anxiety: "Inuyasha, be careful! Those are hell bees, they're highly venomous. Getting stung will be terrible! If this continues, you'll be in danger! Back off! Don't fight them head-on!"
But Inuyasha was already blinded by rage, and all he could hear was his own roar and the buzzing of the poisonous bees. He didn't hear Miroku's warning at all. By the time he realized what was happening, he was already surrounded by the hellish poisonous bees, with bees everywhere and nowhere to hide.
The venomous bees swarmed towards him, stinging him relentlessly. Their sharp stingers pierced his skin repeatedly, sending waves of excruciating pain through him.
He could only wield the Tessaiga in his hand, frantically hacking at the hellish bees around him. As the Tessaiga swung, white light flashed, and bees were cleaved in two, black venom splattering out and emitting a pungent stench.
The venom splattered on the ground, instantly corroding and turning even fallen leaves black. But the number of hell bees was too great; killing one batch only resulted in another, making them impossible to eliminate completely.
Soon, Inuyasha was stung by several hellish bees on his arms and shoulders. The sharp stingers pierced his skin, causing a piercing pain. The venom spread instantly, flowing through his meridians and throughout his body, corroding them and causing a numbing pain all over his body. His strength gradually disappeared, and his body became heavier and heavier.
His movements gradually slowed down, the strength with which he swung the Tessaiga weakened, his muscles began to twitch, and fatigue and pain gradually appeared in his amber eyes.
A flicker of resentment crossed his mind: No, I can't fall. I haven't killed Naraku yet, I haven't taken my revenge, and I haven't protected the people around me!
No matter how much he struggled, his body wouldn't obey him, slowly consuming his strength and eroding his consciousness.
Seeing Inuyasha gradually weakening, Miroku was extremely anxious, and cold sweat poured down his forehead. He had long since forgotten about his own safety.
Ignoring the fact that the curse seal would worsen due to overuse of the Wind Cave, and could even endanger his life, he swung his right hand violently and shouted loudly.
"Wind Tunnel, suck it all in! I will never let you hurt Inuyasha and my friends!"
The Wind Cave Curse Seal slowly spread across his arm, bringing a piercing pain, as if countless steel needles were stabbing his meridians. But he paid no attention to it, only staring intently at the poisonous bees.
A tremendous suction force erupted instantly, and the wind cave on Maitreya's right hand surged wildly. Black energy gathered into a huge black vortex, which spun rapidly, making a loud "whooshing" sound, attempting to devour all the Hell Poison Bees.
The surrounding fallen leaves and pebbles were all swept up by the suction of the wind cave and flew towards the vortex, where they were instantly swallowed up without leaving a trace.
His body trembled slightly as the pain from the cursed seal intensified, causing his muscles to twitch as he gritted his teeth and endured the excruciating pain.
Just hang in there a little longer. If we can suck in all the Hellfire Bees, Inuyasha will be safe, and Sango will be less in danger.
But Naraku had anticipated Miroku's actions, as if everything was under his control. He looked at Miroku with a mocking expression, as if he were watching a clown jumping around.
"You overconfident fool, daring to show off your limited skills in front of me? You think... this will save him? What a pipe dream!"
