Protagonist:

Zang Ye

In the distance, Inuyasha, who was chasing the Shibumidori, flashed a look of doubt. "Threads condensed from yoki..."

"That half-demon has some skill!"

"The Shikon Jewel... where did the Shikon Jewel fall?"

Inuyasha widened his eyes, searching for the Shikon Jewel.

On the bank, Xiao Xiang's mother screamed heart-rendingly, not caring about falling, she got up and continued chasing her daughter who had fallen into the river.

"Xiao Xiang... Xiao Xiang..."

The villagers didn't react in time, and the rushing river water swept Xiao Xiang away.

Zang Ye's gaze narrowed, releasing five transparent puppet threads from his fingertips again, extending them into the river water, rolling up Xiao Xiang.

"Come back!"

Zang Ye shouted in a low voice, the puppet threads retracted, bringing Xiao Xiang before Zang Ye, tightly hugged by Zang Ye.

"It's okay, Xiao Xiang!"

"Uu~"

"Brother Zang Ye... Xiao Xiang is scared... Xiao Xiang thought she was going to die..."

"Uu~"

Zang Ye gently stroked the injured area with some heartache, only to see a broken claw of the Shibumidori tightly gripping Xiao Xiang's clothes, constantly trembling.

"This is the Shibumidori's claw."

"Right, it swallowed the Shikon Jewel, so that guy didn't die. Due to the power of the Shikon Jewel, it is gathering its body parts."

"Thank you! Zang Ye! Thank you for saving Xiao Xiang." Xiao Xiang's mother repeatedly expressed her gratitude.

"Mom... Mom..."

Hearing her mother's voice, Xiao Xiang turned around and hugged her, crying bitterly.

"Xiao Xiang being safe is the best. Xiao Xiang's mother doesn't need to thank me. Based on my relationship with Xiao Xiang, I would save her no matter what." Zang Ye let go of her hand, taking the Shibumidori's claw from Xiao Xiang's shoulder.

"This is that yokai's claw!" Xiao Xiang's mother's face changed drastically.

"The Shibumidori isn't dead; it could revive at any time. Xiao Xiang's mother, take Xiao Xiang and leave the river bank quickly."

"Okay!"

"Brother Zang Ye, you be careful too."

Seeing Xiao Xiang's sensible appearance, Zang Ye smiled with satisfaction.

Clenching his fist, he said with a proud smile, "Brother Zang Ye is very strong; no yokai can defeat your Brother Zang Ye."

"Brother Zang Ye..."

At this time, Kagome finally caught up, seeing many villagers gathered around.

"Well done, Zang Ye."

"Even if Zang Ye is a half-demon, he is still protecting the village~"

"Not bad. Even if Zang Ye is a half-demon, he is a member of our village."

Seeing the excited Maple Leaf Village villagers, Kagome had a face full of doubt. "What did that pervert do?"

"Why do the villagers look like they admire him~"

Seeing Kagome arrive, Zang Ye revealed a charming smile.

Of course, that was what he thought of himself.

Kagome's mouth twitched, muttering to herself, "Putting on such a narcissistic look, wanting me to praise him! Truly ridiculous."

Zang Ye didn't know what Kagome was thinking.

If he knew, he would surely be greatly struck.

At this moment, purple light shone in the river, and the Shibumidori's mutilated body reassembled at a visible speed.

If Zang Ye hadn't grabbed the Shibumidori's claw, it would have flown back long ago.

Inuyasha: "That guy revived..."

Kagome: "The Shibumidori flew out of the river."

Zang Ye: "The power of the Shikon Jewel is indeed formidable. If I fuse this Shikon Jewel too, how strong would I become!?"

Thinking of this, Zang Ye's eyes shone with a fiery light.

"The monster bird turned into fragments has revived!"

"As expected, yokai are monsters; even in that state they can revive!"

The watching villagers all had faces full of disbelief.

Ignoring the Maple Leaf Village villagers, Zang Ye spread his hand, looking at the jumping Shibumidori claw, his eyes brightened.

"Give me!"

A snow-white hand took the Shibumidori's claw from Zang Ye's hand.

Zang Ye was stunned, looked over, and discovered it was Kagome.

"Kagome, give me back the Shibumidori's claw."

"Wait a moment, I need to use it."

"I need to use it too."

Zang Ye's expression changed; he had already guessed what Kagome intended to do.

"You want to tie the Shibumidori's claws to the bow and arrow and shoot it out, don't you!"

"Correct. Under the Shikon Jewel's influence, the Shibumidori will certainly reassemble its body."

"That makes it even more impossible to give to you. Do you know how much trouble that one arrow of yours will bring?"

"You stopping me like this is what will bring major trouble! Are we just supposed to watch the Shibumidori fly away?"

Zang Ye's expression shifted slightly; the Shibumidori had already flown very far.

"Fine!"

Zang Ye agreed, seemingly somewhat helplessly.

Kagome used rope to tie the Shibumidori's claws to the bow and arrow, then drew the bow.

The instant Kagome drew the bow, Zang Ye's mouth corner twitched.

"Activate Puppet Control Technique!"

Five transparent threads composed of Yoki attached to the bow and arrow.

"Go!"

Kagome gave a loud shout.

With Kagome's loud cry, holy Miko power unexpectedly surged from her body, instantly shattering the puppet threads Zang Ye had attached to the bow and arrow.

"What!"

Zang Ye cried out in shock; he hadn't expected Kagome's Miko power to be so tyrannical.

"What was that just now?"

Kagome was doubtful for a moment.

Zang Ye's face turned bitter; he raised his head to look at the arrow Kagome had shot.

He saw the arrow Kagome shot, carrying white light, kill the Shibumidori with a single shot.

Suddenly, dazzling purple light burst forth in the sky, and the Shikon Jewel shattered into dozens of shards scattering across the horizon.

"What..."

"The Shikon Jewel shattered..."

"That woman..."

Inuyasha's eyes widened; he hadn't expected Kagome to suddenly perform far beyond her usual level.

"It's over..."

Kagome's expression turned ugly; she hadn't expected to unleash such formidable power.

The villagers looked at the purple light in the sky with faces full of astonishment.

"So pretty, looks like a meteor."

"Such dazzling light — is this the arrow shot by Lady Kikyo's reincarnation?"

The baffled Maple Leaf Village villagers looked at Kagome with faces full of admiration.

Kaede, on the road, raised her head to look at the dazzling purple pupils in the air violently contracting. "That is... the Shikon Jewel."

"This is trouble now."

"All ambitious types, every kind of yokai, will certainly scramble for the Shikon Jewel, stirring up a storm of blood and carnage."

…………Dividing Line…………

"Had I known this would happen, I should have stopped you with all my strength." Zang Ye gave Kagome a sidelong glance.

"Heh~ heh~"

"This wasn't my intention either; I just wanted to shoot the Shibumidori down." Kagome said somewhat embarrassedly.

Zang Ye looked at Kagome solemnly and said heavily, "Regardless of whether it was your intention, we cannot return to before you shot that arrow now."

"Now the Shikon Jewel is scattered across the world; all demons and monsters will be restless, and ambitious humans will also seek ways to obtain the Shikon Jewel to realize their ambitions."
