"Sacrifice? Don't be ridiculous."
Ge Jing Liuli waved the token in her hand, and several gates of hell opened, with countless burning iron spikes flying out along with sword leaves.
"Their punishment is to act as jailers in hell; ending their sentence early is actually their happiness."
Compassion is something the Buddha should contemplate; Yama only needs to think about how to inflict suffering on the wicked.
The flying sword leaf could not hinder Ibuki. Kajō Ruri waved her token at Ibuki again, and eight black lines suddenly appeared on Ibuki's body.
"This is..."
In the next instant, eight blazing saw axes suddenly appeared, sawing along the black lines on Ibuki's body.
Blood instantly appeared on Ibuki's body, and the sinister laughter of the imps echoed from the surrounding gates of hell as they strained to pull the saw axe.
"Go away!"
With a sudden burst of force, the saw-axe on his body shattered. This was a punishment in the Black Rope Hell, where a person was repeatedly sawed into several pieces, and the process was repeated until the next round of punishment.
"It seems the instruments of torture in hell can hurt you. That's fine then. You'll experience them for a longer time later."
Kagami Ruri kept opening the gates of hell, and hideous demons, along with sulfur and lava, overflowed from them.
The wind howled past, and the trees on the mountain withered, the moisture evaporated by the hellish heat.
The only thing unaffected was the area surrounding the shrine, where the trees remained lush and green.
"Ibuki..."
The last jailer to emerge from the gates of hell was Ugly Gozen, whose expression was somewhat complicated.
Chapter 250 The Advantage of the Divine Sword
The ugly Queen wielding a giant axe, and the hideous jailers around her.
The demons of Hell are indeed not simple characters; they can easily utilize the power of Hell from all directions to fight their enemies.
Hell is both the cruelest prison in the world and a terrifying weapon.
With just a wave of the token in her hand, Gejing Liuli can summon the jailers, iron mountains, and flames of hell.
Even though she is very fragile, if Ibuki catches her, she can easily crush Kajou Ruri's head, but this is very difficult.
"Don't show any mercy. After you catch her in hell, you can slowly reminisce with her."
He reminded Ushio Gozen of something to prevent her from going easy on him because of their relationship.
"Your Honor, I understand."
Ushi-Gozen nodded. Although she used to joke with Ibuki about beheadings, it seemed she couldn't do that today.
"That's unnecessary. That guy is the most ruthless demon slayer. He would have done it even if you hadn't told him."
Ibuki gave a mocking laugh, and the jailers' attack had already begun.
Ordinary prison guards would have a hard time even getting close, as they would be torn apart by the strong winds from Ibuki's movements. The only one who could truly restrain them was Ushi-Gozen.
Wielding a giant axe and enveloped in lightning, Ushi no Gozen lacked the famous swords he once possessed, but he had the even more formidable power of the Bull-Headed Heavenly King.
However, Ibuki was particularly fierce and violent today, and Ushi Gozen felt powerless. Originally, the two were evenly matched, but now it was very difficult.
However, Kajō Ruri only needed Ushi Gozen to hold Ibuki back. Once Ushi Gozen was entangled with Ibuki, it became difficult for her to threaten her anymore.
The Pure Glass Mirror illuminated her entire body, ensuring that Ibuki could not hide and launch a sneak attack. The Pure Glass Mirror once again opened the gates of hell.
A massive anvil rose from beneath Ibuki's feet, and a hammer descended from the sky, intending to crush Ibuki into mud like a soul in the Hell of All Union.
It didn't matter that Ushi no Gozen and many other jailers were also on the anvil.
The term "众合" (zhonghe) means the unity of all living beings, which is like being pounded into a paste and put together. The names of hells sometimes don't have that much profound meaning.
Shaking off the ugly Gozen who kept clinging to her body, Ibuki raised her foot and cracked the anvil, sending the falling hammer flying with her slender body.
"Is this all the quality you've got? The torture instruments in hell aren't up to par!"
The attack was easily neutralized; at this level, it would be impossible to force Ibuki to use any other methods.
"Humph!"
Kagome Ruri snorted coldly, and two more enormous gates of hell opened, with mountain peaks resembling ram heads bursting forth, trapping Ibuki between them.
They stretched out their hands to block the impact of the iron mountain, but the sudden collision between the two peaks could not be resolved, and they were locked in a stalemate.
The surrounding jailers finally found their chance and stabbed Ibuki through the neck with their weapons. The weapons of hell could pierce directly into the soul, and the iron spikes on them hooked onto Ibuki's flesh.
Countless iron spikes grew out of Ibuki's body, piercing her skin and flesh, and penetrating her internal organs.
The shattered anvil beneath their feet was swallowed by the gates of hell, replaced by a fiery pit burning fiercely.
A metallic cube, entirely reddish-brown, descended from the sky, enveloping Ibuki and plunging her into an endless, scorching inferno.
Countless jailers surrounded the iron house, throwing out their chains and trying to drag it down into hell.
On the other side of the gate, their destination is the perpetually burning molten iron boiler of Avici Hell.
But things are not that simple. If Ibuki were just Shuten-dōji, he would probably be struggling on the verge of death.
But today is different, because Ibuki possesses an unparalleled blade, sharp enough to cut through this iron prison.
Its stunningly sharp edge easily sliced through everything in sight: the entire Iron Prison, the ground covered in lava and sulfur, and the massive Gates of Hell.
Everything before my eyes was instantly sliced in two by that beam of light.
The scent brought by this sharpness overwhelmed the blood and sulfur of hell, and even made the skin feel a slight stinging sensation.
Ibuki stood holding the Ama-no-Murakumo sword, the iron spikes in her flesh gradually melting away, as if Ibuki's blood itself possessed a potent corrosive quality.
"Ama-no-Kusana?"
Although she had never seen it before, it did not prevent Kajo Ruri from recognizing the strange, bone-like straight sword in Ibuki's hand.
Unaware of the details, Kajō Ruri believed that Ibuki had merely stolen the body of Yamata no Orochi.
"Even if there's one more sword, it's not a big deal."
Ge Jing Liuli remained calm and confident, waving the token once more.
The gates of hell opened again, and sword leaves, blades, iron trees, and burning flames poured out.
"is it?"
Ibuki chuckled and swung the sword in her hand, without any rhyme or reason, just like waving an arm.
An invisible sharpness instantly tore everything apart, and the chaotic and violent divine sword shredded everything around it.
Terrain, space, and even the ethereal concept of time were all torn apart by this single sword strike.
Ge Jing Liuli felt as if everything had slowed down, she could not hear any sound, and everything was slowly breaking apart.
"puff!"
It was as if in the blink of an eye, everything vanished, leaving only the figure lying in front of him, covered in blood.
"Your Honor..."
While Ibuki was locked in a struggle, Ushi Gozen hesitated and did not launch an attack immediately.
Similarly, it was she who saved Kagami Ruri when she was unable to react to the attack.
"Ugh, you're really something else! You can't bring yourself to do this, but you want to save that person too. Are you some kind of greedy idiot?"
Ibuki's sword tip dripped with Ushi Gozen's blood. Although she was grumbling, the fact that Ushi Gozen was still alive showed that she couldn't bring herself to kill her.
"Hey, little girl from hell, are you going to continue? Your methods are completely useless now."
Kajo Ruri's summoner-like fighting style could no longer continue against Ibuki, who had drawn the Ame-no-Murakumo.
No matter what is pulled out of hell, even the gates of hell themselves will be easily severed by the Kusanagi, making it impossible to continue fighting.
If the fight were to continue, Gejing Liuli would have no choice but to call for reinforcements; the reversal of the situation was that easy.
Ibuki, who had just been struggling against Kajō Ruri's relentless and controlling summoning spells, only needed to draw this divine sword to render her helpless.
"I......"
Kagome Ruri gritted her teeth, trying to say something, but Ibuki's Ama-no-Murakumo sword was already pointed at her neck, and thin lines of blood dripped down.
"Alright, a loss is a loss, there's no need to force it."
Jingu lifted Ushi-Gozen from the ground, and in his hands, Ushi-Gozen, who had been in a terrible state due to the sword energy of the Ama-Kusanagi sword, quickly recovered.
"Now it's my turn."
Chapter 251 The Illusion of the Divine Sword
A mocking smile hung on Ibuki's face as she casually rested the Ame-no-Murakumo sword on the ground.
The so-called compatibility is this kind of thing, it doesn't mean that Kajou Ruri is really weaker than Ibuki.
Rather, it was her fragile body and her fighting style, which relied heavily on external weapons, that made her too weak against Ibuki, who possessed the Ama no Kusanagi.
The opponent can make countless mistakes and fall into her traps countless times, but Ge Jing Liuli cannot make a single mistake.
Moreover, this is the mortal world, not her home turf of Yama's Palace or Hell, where the authority to judge cannot be exercised.
The Pure Glass Mirror in my hand is now only good for discerning truth from falsehood. The fact that I failed to report the matter in advance and obtain permission to conduct the trial in the mortal world was a huge oversight.
Ge Jing Liuli bit her lip, feeling somewhat unwilling, but unable to say anything.
"Your Honor, it was all because I hesitated for a moment..."
Ushi-Gozen, who had been healed by the shrine, felt somewhat guilty. If she had delivered a powerful leaping strike back then, the outcome of the battle might have been different.
Gejing Liuli shook her head, said nothing more, and took a few steps back with Chou Yuqian, leaving the stage to the two of them.
The uninvited guests at the banquet tactfully withdrew, leaving only the two main guests.
"Do we still want to stay here? Doesn't this mountain hold many memories for us?"
Looking around, the area was a mess, left by the battle between the two. If it continued, the entire mountain range would probably be overturned.
"Ah, it's okay, just do it. It doesn't really matter."
Ibuki raised the Ame-no-Murakumo sword in her hand, and the atmosphere between the two became even more deathly still than during her battle with Kajō Ruri.
