I'm having fun in Tokyo

He turned his head and stared intently at Morikawa Yu, his vertical pupils filled with resentment, as if he wanted to devour him alive.

"You actually ruined my plans!"

Plan? What plan?

Morikawa Yu was even more confused.

Could it be that Ryoko has already arrived in Kyoto and awakened Mitsuko?

No, He probably doesn't know that it was He and Hisukatsuki who discovered the problem, which led Ryoko to decide to go to Kyoto.

In other words, the incident that occurred in Kyoto was unrelated to Nagako, but it was something that He could not accept.

What did I just do?

Purify!

Could it be that the purification effect not only drove Him out of His body, but also damaged His consciousness, causing Mitsuko to awaken?

Is the purification system really that effective?

Did I just gain quite a bit?

He quickly observed the white fox's expression, only to see it laugh angrily.

"Looking at you, do you think that fox has woken up?"

"Dream on! I've suppressed her for thousands of years, how could I possibly let her break free from her slumber so easily!"

"She just turned over and will fall asleep again soon. It's the people in Kyoto who should worry about their safety."

"With Ryoko there, she'll have to worry about that fox first, which frees up more of my resources to deal with you!"

He roared and pounced.

Morikawa Yu frowned in thought.

He didn't believe the white fox.

If it were as simple as He described, He wouldn't have reacted so strongly.

So this guy was just bluffing.

If I can defeat and suppress Him, I can take the initiative and maybe get some information out of Him.

Thinking this, he dodged the white fox's attack, took out Mikazuki with his left hand, and swung it to deflect the tail that was being swung at him. In an instant, his right hand slashed down with Tsurumaru.

—Steel-Cutting Flash!

Chapter 171 The Path to Happiness! (Third Update)

Before it could retract its tail, he slashed it off instantly. He stepped forward and slashed again, cutting it off completely. The severed tail immediately turned into white mist and dissipated.

Although He is now stronger than He was on Fujiwara Shiori, He is not much stronger. In fact, because of His larger size, His attacks are easier.

However, correspondingly, His destruction of the surrounding environment became more obvious, and He even began to use the terrain to force Him to dodge.

What a hassle.

Morikawa Yu sighed inwardly, but was not discouraged at all.

His figure vanished suddenly, using the Swift Step to hide himself, disappearing without a trace, and rushed towards the white giant fox.

He looked around warily, then once again wildly swung his remaining eight tails, while his body emitted a white light as he charged outwards.

Morikawa Yu became increasingly certain that something unfavorable had happened to Him in Kyoto.

Otherwise, there's no way to explain why He could use Mitsuko's divine power just now, but can only use these obviously inferior powers now.

I just don't know what exactly happened in Kyoto.

He pondered for a moment, then circled around Him.

Finally, seeing that the white giant fox had slowed down a little, he leaped up instantly, appearing in front of it and slashing at its pupils with his sword.

—Steel-Cutting Flash!

This time his attack was even more powerful than before, and even he himself was surprised at how fast this strike was.

The white giant fox was caught off guard and, upon seeing the flash of light, had no chance to turn back. It could only roar and lunge forward, crashing into Morikawa Yu's body.

In an instant, Morikawa Yu's knife pierced one of His eyes, but He was also knocked away, flying in an arc as he crashed into a house by the roadside, smashing through the wall.

"cough."

Amidst the dust in the room, Morikawa Yu coughed and stood up.

He twisted his waist and was surprised to find that he was fine, except for a slight pain in his chest.

The white giant fox had just rammed right into his chest, giving him a hard blow that made him feel quite uncomfortable.

However, the other party should be in more pain, after all, he had stuck Tsurumaru into its eye, and was just a little bit away from blowing its head off.

Just as he was about to go out, he heard a loud crash outside. A huge fox face smashed through the wall and appeared in front of him, staring at him with its only remaining eye open, looking both angry and amused.

"This is really too much, my little husband, how could you treat me like this?"

"It seems that when I deal with you later, I should also let you taste what pain is and let you know your place."

He opened his mouth, revealing a gaping maw, preparing to spew out scorching flames that would burn him and the entire room to ashes.

But just as the pillar of fire erupted from His mouth, Morikawa Yu's sword slashed forward, and an invisible stream of energy emanated from the blade, instantly transforming into an unbreakable barrier that blocked the entire pillar of fire.

Inside the room, flames surged and splashed, the walls were charred and crumbled, but he stood there calmly, only the swirling air caused his robes to flutter slightly.

—The Wind Barrier!

The white giant fox was also taken aback. It wanted to do something, but it saw that Morikawa Yu had already crossed the wind wall, his figure leaving afterimages, and the tip of his blade was aimed straight at its last remaining eye.

Get out of the way, you must get out of the way!

A bad feeling arose in His heart.

If He were to strike and pierce Him, He would likely lose His last eye.

His head moved, slamming directly into the wall beside him, flattening the wall, and forcibly turning his face to the side.

However, Morikawa Yu's slash still left a deep, gaping wound on the side of His face, from which white light continuously emanated, and half of His face began to dissipate.

"you!"

He roared, turned around, took a few steps away from the building, but suddenly froze when he saw Morikawa Yu.

He had just jumped out of the crack in the wall of the room and came outside. He stood still, sheathing both Tsurumaru and Mikazuki, seemingly preparing something.

"Are you going to do those ridiculous things again?"

The white giant fox immediately spoke, making a sarcastic remark, but Morikawa Yu ignored it and simply raised her head slightly.

He didn't think his earlier moves were ridiculous.

He only cared about whether he could defeat the enemy.

He doesn't care if the moves are cool or silly, as long as they're effective.

Follow your heart, do as you please, act freely without overstepping the bounds, and prioritize happiness.

This is his way of the sword, this is what he pursues.

He lowered his center of gravity, slowly stretched out his hand, and grasped the hilt of Tsurumaru's sword, causing the sleeves of his kimono to move without wind.

The wind that had just gathered swirled around his body, blowing his black hair upwards, making it look elegant and unrestrained, yet also possessing a terrifying aura that made people tremble with fear.

The white giant fox kept staring at him, a hint of amazement appearing in its remaining single eye.

Just as He was about to speak, He saw Morikawa Yu's figure disappear from the spot and appear in front of Him, with a gust of wind surging from his body, rushing towards Him.

Face the blast!

He was startled and was about to dodge when he saw Morikawa Yu's body spinning in the afterimage, his long sword waving, the air waves on the tip of the sword turning into a whirlwind, which then expanded into a whirlwind tornado, spreading outward at high speed.

His body suddenly felt light, and he was directly lifted into the air, floating in the air, his whole body stiff, unable to make any more movements.

—Gale-force Slash!

In an instant, Morikawa Yu's body transformed into even more afterimages, weaving and slashing, each strike leaving a chilling and terrifying blade mark on his body.

Finally, he leaped high into the air and then fell heavily back down. The Tsurumaru in his hand pierced through His neck in an instant, dragging His massive body down and pinning Him firmly to the ground!

With his left hand pressing down on Tsurumaru, he wielded Mikazuki with his right hand, the blade extended, pointing towards His only remaining eye.

"Indeed, this position suits you best."

"Now can we have a proper chat, Lord Inari?"

"I have so many questions I want to ask you."

The white giant fox struggled for a moment, then instantly felt an excruciating pain in its neck, unable to resist.

Morikawa Yu looked at him coldly and stomped on him again.

"I can't answer your question, don't even think about it," He said fiercely, yet with a hint of resentment.

"If I hadn't been forced to give up my avatar and fight using only Shiori's body and a part of her consciousness, how could you have possibly hurt me?"

"Forced to abandon the avatar?"

Morikawa Yu gave a cold laugh.

At that time, He angered Fei Yue and forced her to reveal her true form, which was then destroyed by the enraged Fei Yue.

Now He's saying here that He was forced to give up the incarnation. Does He think He's a fool?

He was about to speak sarcastically, but then stopped himself from saying it.

Thinking about it carefully, His behavior at the time was somewhat strange. Even if it was just to spite Fei Yue, the price He paid was far too high.

His body was equivalent to the incarnation of a top-tier high-level demon. If it hadn't been destroyed and had remained until now, it would have been enough to reverse the situation. He simply couldn't deal with it, let alone win a battle against it.

As a result, He gave up and could only use Shiori Fujino's body, thus falling into a passive position.

Moreover, His actions from the beginning to the present have been very deliberate and completely illogical.

Was He really forced? But how could that be?

Chapter 172 The real reason

"You said you were forced, what's the reason?"

"Why should I tell you?" He sneered.

"If you don't give a reason, how can anyone know if what you're saying is true or false?"

Morikawa Yu stepped on His neck, slowly applying force, and then turned the hilt of Tsurumaru's sword, tearing open the wound.

"you.....!"

The giant white fox struggled violently, but immediately stopped, its body trembling.

The damage inflicted on Him by the Gale Slash just now exceeded the limits of His recovery ability.

While releasing more consciousness could strengthen the current clone, it would also draw more power from the original body, making the situation even more dangerous.

"Are you really not going to tell me?"

Morikawa Yu shook her head, her tone regretful.

"Then I'll have no choice but to deal with you."

"Anyway, you definitely have a backup plan, so it won't make a difference if you lose this bit of awareness, right?"

He gripped Mikazuki Munechika in his left hand, the blade gleaming with a clear light.

"No!"

"I said!"

He stared at Morikawa Yu with resentment.

Although he did have a backup plan, if this clone were killed, he would be weakened again, and he could not let him do that under any circumstances.

"It was Mitsuko who influenced me, bringing me to Tokyo and causing me to give up my incarnation."

"A big fox?"
