Female Swordsman Training Dojo

This is the first time that Shiranui Ran has entered this state. When she was fighting against the mature and elegant Yakumo Kurenai, she did not have the ability to release Sesshomaru to this extent. Moreover, she was controlled by Yakumo Kurenai with a barrier as soon as she appeared, so she did not have the opportunity to use it.

Therefore, this was the first time that Shiranui Ran had personally witnessed Sesshomaru at full power.

The golden fox, covered in black flames, moved like a phantom within the high walls of fire. The steel giant, burning with blue flames, attacked relentlessly, but no matter how it punched, kicked, or attacked with fire and smoke, it could not touch the fox. Instead, the fox frequently seized the openings to counterattack.

Phoenix Fire is indeed not very good at hand-to-hand combat.

But this doesn't mean that the fox spirit who kills is guaranteed to win.

As Shiranui Ran felt her magical power rapidly depleting and her consciousness gradually becoming chaotic, she knew she couldn't maintain this state forever. Or rather, she could maintain it indefinitely, but after a while, it was uncertain whether this body would belong to Sesshomaru or to Shiranui Ran.

We must find a way to take down Phoenix Fire as soon as possible!

But the current god is incredibly tough; even though the Killing Fox hit the same spot multiple times, it was still some distance from successfully destroying her. Not to mention, Phoenix Fire seemed to have noticed her condition and had switched from constant offense to defense. Damn the Unity Society, I'll wipe you all out!

Shiranui Ran growled, the voice in her mind synchronized with the roar in her body. Then, Sesshomaru, who had been speeding along, suddenly stopped and looked up at the steel fist that was falling towards them.

"Roar--"

The Killing Fox growled, its massive jaws parting to reveal a chilling smile, exposing its pale, sharp fangs. The Phoenix Fire, controlling the present-day god, felt a chill, but then its magical power intensified—it didn't know what had gotten into Shiranui Ran, but killing her would solve everything!

The blue flames burned even more fiercely, and a noble and majestic phoenix cry faintly rang out, shaking people's minds and unconsciously giving rise to feelings of admiration and worship.

But the Killing Fox only laughed more wildly, until its mouth was completely open, revealing a pitch-black sphere inside... No, it wasn't a sphere, but a flame condensed into a sphere!

Phoenix Fire, whose true form is flame, possesses an extremely keen sense of fire. Therefore, the moment she saw the fireball, she sensed an immense threat. Her first reaction was to dodge, but given her enormous human-god body, evasion was impossible.

Chapter 551

She activated the Sesshomaru attack, but it was a half-finished system; the armor system wasn't installed, and the driver was only partially installed. Therefore, she could only pour all her power into the Human God, intending to kill the Sesshomaru in one blow!

"Die, Fire Demon!!!"

"Hehehe—" Killing Fox let out a chilling, maniacal laugh, and the black flames on her body flowed to her back, condensing into seven black fox tails in the astonished eyes of Phoenix Fire.

Including the two tails that Shiranui Ran already had, Sesshomaru now has a total of nine tails.

"Shiranui, have you gone mad—"

The nine-tailed fox is no ordinary yokai. The only nine-tailed fox in all of Japan was Tamamo-no-Mae, who even dared to seduce the emperor at that time. As a result, she was beaten to her knees by a series of gods, including Amaterasu, Susanoo, and Tsukuyomi, and even lost three of her tails.

As a mere two-tailed fox, no matter how high her talent or how deep her magical power, if Shiranui Ran were to forcibly unleash an attack at the level of a nine-tailed fox, the price she would have to pay would be devastating. Forget about her life; her very soul would likely be annihilated!

As for that? !

If you can't beat her, why don't you run away? With moves this strong, even her fire wall can't stop you!

Phoenix Fire was practically in tears.

But crying won't help; we still need to keep track of the time.

Even as she smiled, the Killing Fox's scarlet pupils, filled with icy killing intent, were fixed on the iron fist before her. The ball of fire in her mouth had slowly expanded to a size she could barely hold, so she finally spat it out.

The raging flames scorched the space, transforming into a towering pillar of fire that crashed directly into the iron fist of the present-day god. The intense heat melted and vaporized the steel fist, which had been enhanced with rare materials and countless spells, and slammed into the present-day god's chest with unstoppable force.

"No...it's impossible—" Phoenix Fire was currently controlling the living god in a possessed form, and this attack also severely damaged her soul. She could no longer survive.

She was well aware of this, and her previous rage and irritability vanished instantly, leaving only a trace of regret: "If only I had finished installing the armor first..."

"However, at least, the magic circle is already..."

The mortal god, his entire chest cavity burned away by the intense heat, and more importantly, his manipulator burned to death, collapsed helplessly to the ground, kicking up thick clouds of smoke. The enormous noise, coupled with the weakened state of the Fox Spirit after its unprecedented outburst, finally brought Shiranui Ran to her senses.

"Damn it, I was still affected by the killing intent. I should have called for help immediately—" Shiranui Ran tried to deactivate her transformation, but when she tried to grab the mask, she found that the highly concentrated Amaterasu fire had already burned the originally sturdy mask.

Without the aid of a special magical artifact, Shiranui Ran tried her best to control the runaway Sesshomaru, but the effect was futile. She even began to be affected by the Sesshomaru's terrifying killing intent, her mind gradually becoming volatile and chaotic, driven only by a desire for slaughter, bloodshed, and destruction!

Having been sealed away for nearly a thousand years, she finally gained her freedom. Even though the Killing Fox lacked a sufficiently clear mind, she instinctively didn't want to be bound again. Fortunately, what she craved was simple—killing! Battle!

Therefore, before completely losing control of her body and losing her calm and rational consciousness, Shiranui Ran set a goal for herself and Sesshomaru.

Aozorakan! Taira no Harunobu!

The wild beasts of the mountains could not satisfy the killing intent of the fox spirit, and innocent creatures would certainly not be harmed, especially since Shiranui Ran did not want to remain a fox spirit driven only by instinct. Therefore, her only remaining target was Harunobu.

First of all, she definitely can't beat Harunobu, so there's no need to worry about making mistakes.

Secondly, even if Qingxin defeats her, he definitely won't kill her; he'll only help her recover.

Finally, that bastard who only knows how to sleep around at home deserved to get beaten up!

Driven to madness by jealousy, Miss Fox raced through the flames, fleeing the forest. A burning desire for blood consumed her body and spirit, fueling her insatiable hunger; her obsession drove her to ignore the carnage around her and charge straight into the Azure Sky Pavilion.

The barrier around the Azure Sky Pavilion flickered slightly before letting the mistress into the backyard.

Chapter 510: Quickly, go and invite Amaterasu!

In the backyard of the Aozora-kan, Harunobu had just emerged from Gensokyo, pulling up his trousers with one hand. Looking up, he saw a giant golden fox, its body wreathed in flames, lunging at him. Its killing intent was palpable, its resentment overflowing, as if Harunobu had cheated on her a thousand times over.

"blue?"

Before Qingxin could even utter that one sound, the giant golden fox's huge kiss was already on his head, slamming down!

With a snap, the surroundings turned a blood-red color.

The seal was lifted.

The power of filth unfolds.

Harunobu wiped the drool dripping from his head and pulled the petite Izanagi out of his crotch: "Well done, little Izanagi!"

The petite Izanagi rolled her eyes at Harunobu, then transformed back into her normal form and landed to Harunobu's right: "Isn't this Ran? How did she suddenly become so out of control? Did she completely unleash the Sesshomaru?"

The fox spirit, whose attack had been blocked by the corrupting power, retreated to a short distance. The seal seemed to have little effect on her. In fact, the killing intent intensified due to the unexpected failure.

"Tsk tsk, it seems Lan harbors a lot of resentment towards someone. Her first reaction after losing control was to kill you." Izanami teased, summoning even more filthy power. Harunobu pinched Izanami's butt in annoyance: "You talk too much. She's obviously here to ask me for help, otherwise why would she rush into my base to kill me?"

"Hmph~" Izanami hummed, driving her corrupting power to attack Sesshomaru, but her careless action was immediately met with a backlash. Sesshomaru bypassed the black mist at a speed beyond her expectations and charged towards Harunobu again.

Fortunately, Harunobu had been paying attention to Shiranui Ran's movements. The moment he noticed, he pulled Izanami aside and left a weak tornado behind.

Sky Soaring Dragon Flash - Displacement Version! Kid!

"asshole--"

The unexpected mishap caused Izanami's face to flush red, and she unleashed her full power. The corrupting energy surged like waves, rapidly filling the entire sealed area—the backyard of the Azure Sky Pavilion. This was the power of the Mother of the Underworld after all the seals were broken!

In other words, it's clear that Harunobu definitely didn't want to kill Shiranui Ran, otherwise these black mists could have swallowed Shiranui Ran whole, leaving not even bones behind!

But now, the Killing Fox could still unleash a powerful roar with boundless energy. However, that was all she could do; the corrupting power had firmly bound her, rendering her completely unable to move.

No matter how strong she is, she can never surpass the power of the entire Yellow Springs.

"It looks like she's completely under control." A weak voice came from behind, and in an instant, she was back beside Harunobu. Seeing that Akito's body was covered in grime and most of it still hadn't been cleaned, Sesshomaru's struggles became noticeably stronger and more frequent.

"Another jealous jerk," Qingxin said shamelessly, reaching out to ruffle the head of Sesshomaru that had just been offered to him. Surprisingly, the effect seemed quite noticeable—Sesshomaru howled even louder.

"Don't provoke her." Asuka chuckled and pulled Haruno back. "It's hard to make up for the energy she's expended now. I wonder what kind of enemy she encountered to unleash the Killing Fox to this extent."

Harunobu regretfully gave up. Compared to the majestic and handsome super fox, his wife's health was more important—well, anyway, there would be plenty of opportunities to see the fox in the future.

So Harunobu picked up Asuka, who was still recovering from the afterglow and looked extremely weak, and came to Sesshomaru:

Chapter 552

How can I restore Blue?

Asuka enjoyed Harunobu's embrace and leaned lazily against him: "Well, normally, as long as we put her sealing artifact back on her, she should be able to wake up on her own."

"However, judging from her condition, the magic artifact has most likely been destroyed, and she has also lost her self-awareness. It is impossible for her to suppress the killing fox on her own."

"So the fastest and best way now is..."

Asuka looked at Izanami: "Little Izanami, use your filthy power to block the flow of demonic energy at these acupoints..."

"Who are you calling 'Little Izanami'! How dare you call someone 'Little Izanami'!" Izanami gritted her teeth at Asuka, but her hands didn't stop moving, and she controlled the filthy power to surge over as instructed.

Asuka chuckled smugly: "Then how about I call you Old Yi? Hmm, I'll have some from these two seats too... Hmm? What's up?"

Izanami, who was about to launch a fierce counterattack against the smug Asuka, suddenly hardened her expression and stopped channeling the corrupting power. Only when Asuka asked a question did she slowly reply, "Something's wrong. Lan's soul and that Sesshou Fox's soul are too tightly bound together. If I use corrupting power to separate them, I'll destroy her soul as well... Although I'm confident I can save her life, I think serious injury is unavoidable."

"Huh?" Asuka exclaimed in surprise, reaching out to place her hand on Sesshomaru's head. The previous treatment with the corrupting power had been quite effective; at least Sesshomaru was no longer howling like a manic patient, and even seemed quite quiet when someone patted his head.

After a moment, the bird withdrew its hand: "It really is true, this little fox is quite bold..."

Harunobu panicked: "Asuka, Iori, what's going on?"

"Don't worry, don't worry." Izanami hugged Harunobu, soothing Harunobu's agitated heart with her soft breasts. "She'll be alright, at least she'll survive."

Asuka rolled her eyes at Izanami: "If you can't speak properly, then don't speak!"

Turning to Harunobu, she comforted him, "Don't worry, Harunobu, it's just a little troublesome. At worst, there won't be any danger to your life. And although I and I don't know why Ran and Sesshomaru are so closely connected, Amaterasu definitely does."

"What does this have to do with Amaterasu? Could it be that she did this?" Harunobu's eyes narrowed, and a killing intent that was no less than that of the previous Killing Fox emanated from him, making Asuka and Izanami feel both helpless and delighted.

Unfortunately, her husband loses his composure whenever it involves them, but she is delighted that he cares so much about them.

In the end, Izanami, being more experienced, seized upon Harunobu's weakness to force him to calm down: "No, if Amaterasu wanted to deal with Blue, she wouldn't need to resort to such methods."

Asuka added, "What I mean is, Amaterasu definitely knows the reason for the Sessho-no-Tama incident. Maybe if we ask her to take a look, it can be resolved."

Harunobu removed Izanami's somewhat reluctant hand: "Then I'll go find Amaterasu now. You guys keep an eye on Ran—Lily, let's go."

The Red Dragon Queen, fresh from Gensokyo, was still confused about the situation, but upon hearing Harunobu's call, she immediately transformed into a dragon-person and flew into the sky with him. Then, she reverted to her original form and directly entered the Imperial Palace.

"Ping! Qing! Xin!"

The angry voice of Amaterasu, who had once again forced her way into her hometown, echoed through the clear sky. It quickly subsided, and then the red dragon soared into the sky again before landing back inside the Blue Sky Pavilion.

It took less than a minute.

Chapter 511: The Origin of the Killing Fox

"I've roughly figured out the situation, but it's not looking too good."

Amaterasu, who had been forcibly brought over, looked at Harunobu with a hint of helplessness in her eyes: "Asuka and Izanami are right. Sesshomaru and this girl, Ran, are too closely intertwined. It's difficult to sever them without hurting her."

The giant killing fox seemed to echo Amaterasu's words, letting out a weak roar, its gaze still fixed on Harunobu, whether it wanted to continue killing him or had some other meaning was unclear.

Qingxin patted the fox's head lightly, not wanting to waste time: "Just tell me your conditions."

Amaterasu shook her head: "Don't get me wrong, Sesshomaru is one of my people. I did my job to save her... but unless you're willing to let Ran become a bedridden patient in the future, there's really nothing I can do right now."

Harunobu looked at Asuka and Izanami, who nodded slightly, confirming that Amaterasu was right. The connection between Sesshomaru and Shiranui Ran was even closer than that between Tsuchimikado Haru and Kasuga Kage. While the two Haru girls could still have room to sever ties, there was basically no way to separate Shiranui Ran and Sesshomaru.

The most important difference is that Kasuga Kage has her own consciousness and is still an independent individual; but Sesshomaru doesn't have such a clear independent self, and is more like a side of Shiranui Ai, a kind of extreme mental tendency.

When everyone was at a loss, Asuka suddenly thought of something and asked Amaterasu, "Speaking of which, where did the Killing Fox come from?"

Seeing the several gazes directed at her, especially Taira no Harunobu's frighteningly calm eyes, Amaterasu hesitated for a moment before answering, "You all know about Tamamo-no-Mae's past misdeeds in the Imperial Palace, right?"

"Hmm, that vixen had three tails torn off by you, and almost died in Heian-kyo." Izanami nodded, then suddenly realized, "You turned her tails into a killing fox?!"

Amaterasu raised her chin with a hint of pride: "To be precise, I used her three tails to tear off her murderous and bestial side and turned her into the Killing Fox; coincidentally, she left behind a group of fox cubs and offspring, so I recruited them and turned them into the Shiranui-sama I am today—of course, it wasn't called that back then."

"In short, the killing fox has been passed down among these foxes ever since, serving as an assistant in maintaining the imperial lineage I left behind; after all, normally speaking, the nine-tailed fox's killing intent is already quite strong, almost able to run rampant below the level of a god, and at least it can hold out until I arrive."

"Unfortunately, you later disappeared into the shadows."

"Isn't this all the work of you and Izanagi?!"

Asuka separated the mother and daughter, who were about to start arguing again, and said, "If that's the case, then the Killing Fox should also have self-awareness... Did you deliberately get rid of it?"

Amaterasu calmed down and answered Asuka: "You could say that. When she was first created, she was very arrogant; but as time went by and her masters changed, her killing intent grew stronger and stronger, and her sense of self faded, and that's how she ended up like this."

Fei Niao's eyebrows relaxed slightly: "That's good. If we can help her regain her self-awareness and reshape her spirit, then perhaps we still have a chance to separate her from Lan."

As she spoke, Asuka kept looking at Amaterasu, clearly wanting her to release the control and seal on Sesshomaru's root. Otherwise, Sesshomaru wouldn't be able to possess a true self.

Amaterasu understood Asuka's unspoken meaning, but she didn't agree immediately: "It's not that I can't give up this fox—Hirashi no Shin, don't interrupt, this isn't about conditions—the problem is, can you guarantee that she won't try to possess someone else after she awakens?"

“You don’t really think that Tamamo-no-Mae’s murderous intent is some kind of generous and helpful good person, do you? If she were to regain her self-awareness, even just to avoid being captured and used as a tool by me again, she would definitely possess Ran’s body immediately to blackmail us.”

As she spoke, Amaterasu glanced at Taira no Harunobu: "Of course, if all you want is for Ran's body to be safe, then I can help you for free."

Harunobu, of course, could not accept this outcome.

He rubbed his temples, stopping his constant stroking of the fox's head: "Feiniao, you just said that Lan's current condition is very similar to Xiaochun and the others. Is it possible to solve this using the same method as Xiaochun and the others?"
