Public executions started with King Adonai

The war situation is so unbelievable that it makes people unable to react.

"This is... the battle of war..."

"To think... that I lost so quickly..."

Fujimaru Tachibana muttered to herself, this battle was too fast for her to react.

Up ahead, Mashu also revealed a look of horror. After a slight tremor, she quickly asked, "Senior, what should we do now? Do you need me to support Mr. Minato and the others?"

Kikyo also glanced back slightly, then looked solemnly at where Shukaku was. Her heart was heavy: "Why? Why is the power of the Four Souls Jade so strong? Is this really... the Four Souls Jade?"

Obviously, Kikyo felt confused, because in her memory, although the power of the Shikon Jade was strong, it was not so strong.

Apart from anything else, in the original world, in Kikyo's era, when she was the guardian of the Shikon Jade, although the Shikon Jade had the power to fulfill wishes, its power was limited and it was not omnipotent. It could only fulfill wishes to a certain extent.

This results in the Shikon Jade lacking appeal to the big monsters, and only ordinary monsters are eager for it.

However, what Shukaku is showing now is that the power of the Shikon Jade has a huge effect on beings at the level of great monsters.

Moreover, this is only a fragment of the Four Souls Jade, not the complete Four Souls Jade.

If it is complete, how powerful will it be?

There is no doubt that this was completely beyond Kikyo's cognition, making her feel that the Four Souls Jade became extremely unfamiliar.

Then, when Mashu asked Fujimaru Tachibana what to do, and the nervous and trembling Fujimaru Tachibana began to make a decision, Kikyo spoke.

"Right now, it's the power of the Four Souls Jade that's influencing the One-Tailed Shukaku. I can sense that it has a fragment of the Four Souls Jade within its body, allowing it to achieve the miracle of its transformation."

Upon hearing this, Mashu and Fujimaru Tachibana were stunned.

The two knew about the existence of the Four Souls Jade, because Kikyo had long sensed that the Four Souls Jade existed in this world and that it had turned into fragments and scattered everywhere.

As the former guardian of the Shikon Jade, Kikyo can sense the existence of the Shikon Jade.

However, Kikyo didn't know the exact location of the Shikon Jade and could only sense its approximate direction. It had been said long ago that the Shikon Jade would be coveted by monsters and greedy people, and that the Shikon Jade also possessed magical powers.

Now, having actually seen the holder of the Four Souls Jade fragment, the terrifying power he displayed had reached such a level that it was completely beyond his expectations.

After all, although Kikyo mentioned that the Shikon Jade possessed powerful and unique powers, judging from her attitude, the Shikon Jade, which had been broken into pieces, could actually only do so much. Unless all the pieces were gathered together, it would not be able to cause too much of a disaster.

Now, looking at this again...

"Hiss~~" Kikyo: Just how severe is the catastrophe you're talking about? Doesn't it count if the Wind Country is completely destroyed? Or does it only count if the Ninja World is completely destroyed?

Well, Fujimaru Tachibana and Mashu obviously misunderstood.

Kikyo didn't explain much, but said in a deep voice: "Now, the power of the Four Souls Jade fragments is still continuing to play a role, making Shukaku even more terrifying."

"Because of Shukaku's special existence, it has been transformed by the fragments of the Four Souls Jade. It is transforming into another creature. It is not a monster, nor a tailed beast, but a truly new creature."

"When it completes its mutation, even I can't predict how strong it will be."

There is no doubt that these words are completely demoralizing, making people feel heavy and frustrated.

However, Kikyo then added, "However, because it is in the process of mutation, the power of the fragments representing the Four Souls Jade is taking effect. If it were now, I would have a way to construct a sealing spell that would temporarily seal Shukaku based on the method used to target the Four Souls Jade."

"Oh? How long can it be sealed?"

A sudden male voice sounded, somewhat anxiously, and he appeared at the same time as the voice sounded.

It was Minato Namikaze who looked a little disheveled, with dirty clothes and hair.

The man came back, and the tragic casualties made him feel heavy-hearted. He realized that his side had failed, so he ran back to send Fujimaru Tachibana and the others away first, giving priority to ensuring the safety of the three girls.

As a result, I actually heard some good news which was good so far.

Kikyo: "...If you use a time measurement method that you can understand, we can buy about three hours."

Namikaze Minato's heart sank: "Only three hours..."

Then, he cheered up again, "But it's enough. At least, in three hours, we can evacuate to a safe area."

The implication is obviously to retreat.

because……

There is no way to destroy Shukaku!

There was no ninjutsu powerful enough to do this, nor was there a sealing technique effective enough.

Now, with heavy casualties, all we can do is retreat as quickly as possible.

Without further ado, the two of them took action immediately.

In his previous attack, Minato Namikaze had already left a mark of Flying Thunder God Technique on Shukaku, so he now directly teleported to Shukaku with Kikyo.

At this moment, Kikyo also cast the spell she had prepared in advance on Shukaku.

In an instant, his spiritual power poured into Shukaku's body, resonating with the power of the Shikon Jade in his body, and delaying and blocking the power of the Shikon Jade.

Kikyo's spiritual power seemed to turn into countless silk threads, constantly shuttling through Shukaku's body, forming a resonance, and being maintained and strengthened by the power of the Four Souls Jade, and soon spread throughout Shukaku's body.

In an instant, Shukaku's ferocious face became dull, his scarlet eyes dimmed, and then his huge body lowered its head and stayed there.

The sandstorm caused by Shukaku's power stopped at the same time, and the huge disaster was paused.

Seeing this scene, the remaining ninjas were stunned at first, then they were excited, and then many ninjas wanted to attack Shukaku angrily. After all, so many people and comrades died, and the grief and hatred in their hearts were enough to make the ninjas want to retaliate.

However, he was stopped by Kikyo and Minato Namikaze, because the seal was very fragile, and if Shukaku was attacked, the seal would likely become ineffective.

After all, this sealing technique is simply a trick. It is based on Kikyo's understanding of the Shikon Jade, and she can only cast the spell successfully when the Shikon Jade fragments are fully effective and mutate and transform Shukaku.

If Shukaku is in this state and suffers damage, the "thread" of the seal will break like a falling domino.

Chapter 652: Why is Kikyo dying? Who is Inuyasha?

Shukaku was temporarily sealed.

When it was sealed, the remaining monsters went berserk and wanted to come to the rescue, but they were destroyed by Kikyo with several powerful magic-breaking arrows. The remaining monsters were frightened and had to retreat first.

However, Kikyo, who understood the nature of monsters, knew that the monsters had not given up, but had only temporarily evacuated.

As long as Shukaku, the one-tailed beast, is still alive, the monsters will try every possible means to save their king.

Basically, as long as Kikyo and the ninjas evacuate, the monsters will come back and try to destroy the seal on Shukaku.

So, Kikyo also prepared another 'safety lock'.

Kikyo stepped forward, took out five arrows, and handed them to the ninjas, asking them to insert the arrows in five places around Shukaku. The positions had been confirmed, and they used magic to make the five places where the arrows were inserted flash with faint light.

Obviously, Kikyo wanted to build a barrier.

The effect of the barrier is to isolate Shukaku from outside interference, and based on Kikyo's abilities, this barrier is obviously aimed at those monsters.

When the ninjas inserted the five arrows in various places according to Kikyo's instructions, Kikyo immediately began to build a barrier.

In an instant, as Kikyo formed seals with her hands and cast a spell, her holy pure white spiritual power surged out, passed through her feet into the earth, and merged into the arrow in front of her.

When this arrow is activated, the power spreads out in an arc shape, moving towards the other two arrows on the left and right, and finally connecting with the other two arrows.

Then, they looked at each other again, and finally formed a circular linking circle, which then extended inward in unison and intersected halfway.

Finally, a huge pentagram magic circle appeared, and then energy exploded, forming a large barrier that enveloped Shukaku and the underground.

That posture is very holy and mysterious, accompanied by the ethereal BGM, making Platycodon's extraordinary temperament even more extraordinary.

only……

"Well, although it's indeed very beautiful, things like the pentagram are supposed to be Western, right?"

"Yes, the pentagram has been used in various Western mystical theories since very ancient mythology."

"Then the question is, isn't Kikyo a Shintoist from Yingzhou? How could she know something like a pentagram?"

"Hmm, perhaps it was passed on from the West? After all, mystical doctrines are certainly different from the secular knowledge transmission in history. It is reasonable that Yingzhou knew about Western doctrines earlier than the period known in history."

"No, no, no, Yingzhou actually existed very long ago. It was called the Kikyo Seal and was created by Abe no Haruaki."

"The Platycodon Seal, but it's too unpopular. Besides, the oldest Platycodon Seal isn't a pure pentagram; there are some differences."

In the discussion of people in the real world, in the image on the light screen, Kikyo completed the construction of the barrier, and then couldn't help but let out a long sigh, looking a little haggard, and even broke out a lot of sweat.

Obviously, the continuous high-intensity combat and the use of various spells have taken a heavy toll on this witch. Although she is still transcendent, she cannot change the fact that she is exhausted.

It is so heartbreaking to see Platycodon so haggard. Countless people in the real world are like this.

After all, Kikyo's beauty and temperament are there. Compared with her previous image, this damaged version of Kikyo is indeed pitiful.

Many people, feeling distressed, quietly took out their mobile phones or cameras to take all-round photos, and then quietly saved them.

Even PS masters have started to edit pictures.

……

On the light screen, Fujimaru Tachibana stepped forward and supported the weak Kikyo.

"Ms. Kikyo, please take a rest first."

There was no nonsense like "Are you okay?" How could Kikyo be okay in her current state?

So, Fujimaru Tachibana wanted Kikyo to take a rest first.

Kikyo shook her head: "We can go later if we take a rest. Now we..."

Having said that, suddenly, the color of Kikyo displayed on the light screen image turned black and white, and the sound of a rapidly beating heart was heard.

Then, the sounds around me became unreal, as if they were moving away.

Kikyo's gaze involuntarily turned to Shukaku. Her eyes seemed to penetrate Shukaku's huge and thick body at this moment and saw the fragment of the Four Souls Jewel in the body of this tailed beast.

The fragments of the Four Souls Jade are ringing.

Kikyo's own weakness seemed to cause something dormant in her body to show signs of awakening, resonating with the fragments of the Four Souls Jewel in Shukaku's body.

In an instant, some lost memories in Kikyo's mind emerged.

It was a series of images, a male voice calling his name in various tones.

"Platycodon." Calmly.

"Platycodon." Gentle.

"Platycodon!" Excited.

"Platycodon!!!" Angry.

"Kiyomi..." sad.

The same man's voice contains his own emotions.

However, Kikyo felt extremely unfamiliar and could not help but cover her head, revealing a hint of pain.

“Who… is this…”

"Why... do you know me..."

"what is going on……"

"who are you?"

Kikyo's inner voice rang out, and the miko was trying hard to recall, trying hard to see the person's appearance clearly.

She clearly felt unfamiliar, yet very familiar, and her heart kept telling her that he was a very important person to her and she must remember him.

This made Kikyo even more painful and confused.

Because I really can't remember, and I can't find the person's true face in my memory.

Finally, under such circumstances, a picture suddenly appeared in Kikyo's mind.

She collapsed weakly, her life already gone.

In the last moments of her life, she was in the arms of a man, but she could no longer see the other person's appearance clearly. She only knew that the other person was wearing red clothes and his hair seemed to be silver and very long.

And, that person is very sad.

It seems like... crying.

Grieving and crying for the life lost in my arms.

Then, the scene disappeared, and Kikyo's consciousness was pulled back to reality. She heard Fujimaru Tachibana's nervous and concerned voice.

"Miss Kikyo? Miss Kikyo, what's wrong with you? Miss Kikyo..."
