Inuyasha: My job stats have no limits.

"If you obediently get rained on, you might awaken your kappa talent and be able to swim freely in the sea."

"I'm not a kappa..."

Completely soaked, Xie Jian hung his head, feeling as if years had passed in just a few days...

But the next second, the umbrella tilted slightly, covering Jaken's small body.

Xie Jian looked up at Bai Lan, moved, and said, "Young Master Bai Lan..."

Although it took a long time, it was quite fulfilling, wasn't it?

"Shut up."

"Oh."

Indeed, happiness is fleeting.

Because of the limitations of the incense offerings and vows, the coverage area of ​​the "Summoning Clouds and Rain" spell was not very large. So, after Bai Lan and the others left the village and walked for a while, they had already left the range of the spell.

The umbrella was casually placed on a tree, and Bai Lan and Jie Geng continued walking towards the western country.

...

She had only taken a few steps when Bai Lan paused, looked back at the path she had come from, and felt the new incense offerings and prayers.

"A pleasant surprise."

Aside from that incident, the group continued their journey for several more days. When they were tired, they would find a village to stay in, and when they were hungry, Susanoo would take over.

Along the way, you will often encounter yokai that sense the aura of the Shikon Jewel, following the faint scent to try and steal the jewel.

However, these invading demons were either pierced by the Demon-Slaying Arrows or turned to dust by the roar of the Thunder Roar Cannons.

Occasionally, hundreds of fully formed demons and monsters would arrive, but it had no effect whatsoever.

Because of the front-line cover, Kikyo's strength was significantly enhanced. She no longer needed to think about how to fight the demons in close combat; she only needed to stand at a distance and unleash her spiritual power.

When Kikyo, this "glass cannon," can act without restraint, it's difficult for any demon to survive under her exaggerated spiritual power.

The two fought, leaving Xie Jian speechless with amazement, and he felt incredibly confident about the battle to come.

Victory is already...in the bag!

After the group had completely left the territory of Musashi Province, several wild wolves exuding a faint demonic aura poked their heads out from the roadside bushes, panting and trotting towards them.

"Wait a minute, Young Master Bai Lan, this looks like a pack of wolves that Lang Ye killed!"

Seeing this, Bai Lan stopped attacking, letting Xie Jian step forward and begin barking at the wolves.

-

land of the west,

In the camp led by Sesshomaru.

The atmosphere here was extremely oppressive, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of blood.

Sesshomaru turned his back to the crowd, offering no words of encouragement, but simply gazing quietly into the distance.

That was the stronghold of the leopard cat clan.

In contrast to the somber and gloomy atmosphere here, the outpost in the distance was bustling with activity.

Led by the Four Heavenly Kings of the Leopard Cats, the leopard cats who had gathered together began to dream about the future when they would establish a demon kingdom after taking revenge.

Some people were loudly discussing how to divide the territory, some were debating how to rule the Western Kingdom in the future, and others had already begun to calculate which human villages would be suitable as the first targets for predation.

"Wolf Wild Man, have you found the evil vision?"

Sesshomaru asked calmly, completely unaware that the demons behind him had lost their will to fight and were even discussing deserting.

Well, even without these demons, Sesshomaru could wipe out the entire so-called Leopard Cat Clan all by himself!

"Yes, it's been found..."

The speaking demon was a wolf demon with big, dumb eyes, a large head and a small body, grayish-brown fur, wearing green leather armor and a red rope belt.

Because he is somewhat timid and usually prefers to live alone in the forest, he is also known as the 'Forest Guardian'.

After learning about Jaken's situation, Sesshomaru stopped speaking.

Wolfyokan leaned against the wall.

A few days ago, the allied forces led by them were severely humiliated by the Leopard Cat Clan. If it weren't for Sesshomaru, they would probably have been completely annihilated on the battlefield by the Leopard Cat Clan.

As a result, many monsters have given up.

Although Inu no Taisho is loyal and righteous...

There's no need to risk your life for someone who's already dead.

This is the opinion of many monsters.

Therefore, if Wolf King wanted to request reinforcements, he needed to at least stabilize the morale of his troops. When his lord was still alive, he had many close friends of comparable strength.

If only these powerful demons were to arrive... this battle would be instantly reversed, with absolutely no possibility of defeat.

Thinking of this, he spoke with difficulty.

"Um... Lord Sesshomaru, perhaps we need some outside help."

"Wolfstalker, is that right?"

"Yes!"

Sesshomaru turned his head, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes: "Considering you are my father's subordinate, I will only allow you this once!"

"...yes!"

Wolfy Gan immediately trembled and dared not continue speaking.

The battle before us, though seemingly extremely intense, is in reality a struggle between low- and mid-level monsters from two different races.

Most of those involved were ordinary demon soldiers and generals; there were no truly powerful demons among them.

In the end, the whole battle was just a squabble between juniors.

If Sesshomaru were to condescend to seek help from the outside world, wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting that the subordinates of the opponent whom his father once killed at will could now easily threaten him?

Therefore, even if it meant killing Sesshomaru, he would never ask for help!

A chilling killing intent permeated the entire battlefield.

"Young Master Sesshomaru!"

Jaken's cheerful voice rang out, and he leaped up and rubbed against Sesshomaru's fluffy tail.

"It's been so long, I've missed you terribly!"

As expected, young master Sesshomaru is still better... at least that fluffy tail is something young master Hakuran could never have!

When you get tired, you can lie down and rest on it...

"...heretical views?"

"It's heresy, young master Sesshomaru!"

Just as Sesshomaru was about to ask where the other party had been these past few days, he suddenly sensed something was wrong and abruptly raised his head.

then,

Then I saw a familiar figure lift his foot and gently step on the ground.

boom!!!

It was like a bomb exploding, and an astonishing shockwave swept past like a whirlwind. The killing intent and malice, which were almost solidified, instantly engulfed all the monsters in the arena.

In that instant, the groaning monsters in the arena shut their mouths. Before their eyes, they seemed to see a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood made up of hundreds of thousands of pieces of flesh and blood. The sweet and pungent smell wafted over them, causing all the monsters present to tremble violently.

Someone looked up and saw a figure slowly walking towards them from a distance.

He was enveloped in a thick, almost tangible layer of malice, as if he had just emerged from a massacre that had lasted for a thousand years.

Several monsters reacted violently at that moment, their instincts overriding their reason, and rushed towards the figure without regard for anything else.

However, the next second he was pinned to the ground by an arrow carrying the power of sealing, motionless and devoid of all life force.

Among the demon race, the law of the jungle prevails, so Bai Lan did not conceal her aura upon entering.

He had no interest in pretending to be a fool to deceive the demons.

Therefore, displaying your strength from the beginning and earning yourself a certain degree of dignity is the absolutely correct choice.

"Oh, interesting!"

"Is this the surprise of meeting me as your older brother for the first time?"

Sesshomaru watched the slowly approaching Bai Lan and couldn't help but let out a cold smile.

He was very happy that his younger brother could come at this time.

But he really disliked his younger brother's show of force!

However, it was precisely because of this attitude, and that aura that even he had to pause for a moment, that Sesshomaru would never again regard the person in front of him as some half-baked inferior half-demon.

This sense of oppression alone is several times stronger than that of many pure-blooded demons, and it will not tarnish my father's name.

Upon witnessing this scene, Jaken immediately shuddered and laughed. Lord Sesshomaru was actually laughing!

The next second, Sesshomaru stomped him to the ground.

After deliberately scaring away those listless demons, Bai Lan stared at Sesshomaru in front of her and couldn't help but tease him.

"Sesshomaru, you've fallen so low that you can only assemble a bunch of worthless ragtag troops, and then you're beaten by a mere leopard cat and have to beg for help everywhere, even needing the power of your half-demon brother whom you've always looked down on?"

“…”

Sesshomaru, who had been completely unfazed, suddenly looked down at his feet.

Feeling that cold gaze, Jaken shivered, dared not speak, and continued to play dead, unable to face Sesshomaru at this moment.
