Protagonist:

Zang Ye

"Flame Bird, completely unable to fight back."

"This battle has no suspense left."

The baboon man judged the course of the battle.

And Flame Bird was someone he had lured over to deal with Zang Ye.

Just as the baboon man was distracted, a bolt of lightning tore through the air.

He was greatly startled, leaped backward, and dodged the fatal strike.

Where he had originally stood, a huge pit appeared, blue light flashing on the ground.

"That was dangerous, I almost got killed!"

In the distance, Zang Ye's expression turned cold, "Dodged it, his alertness is really high…"

From the moment Flame Bird appeared, Zang Ye felt something was off, always feeling as if being spied on.

As for intuition, Zang Ye still trusted it; with the increase of Yoki, his mental power also increased, his nerves became more sensitive, and within a certain range, he could distinguish various sensations.

"Ah…"

"Discovered."

"No choice, now is not the time for us to meet, Half-Demon… Zang Ye…"

The baboon man's figure transformed into a black shadow and left.

"Running pretty fast! Naraku…" A cold light flashed in Zang Ye's eyes.

Seeing that familiar man in plump clothing, Zang Ye recognized him at a glance; he was Naraku, the Yokai who attacked Inuyasha and Kikyo fifty years ago and tore them apart.

Naraku, as always, chose to flee when he wasn't absolutely sure of victory.

Zang Ye didn't pursue either; Naraku's escape methods were superb, and he could no longer sense his demonic aura.

Looking at the dying Flame Bird on the ground, Zang Ye's mouth twitched slightly, "Activate Lightning Strike!"

A bolt of lightning fell from the sky, striking Flame Bird's body.

"Ah…"

Flame Bird let out a scream and lost its life.

Zang Ye's figure slowly departed, finally disappearing under the moonlight.

………………………Divider……………

On Shan Lu, Kagome pushed her bicycle, and she and Inuyasha headed for the next Village.

Due to the Distance issue, Kagome couldn't sense the direction of the Shikon Jewel Shard just by standing still; only upon reaching a certain sensing Distance would she know where the Shikon Jewel Shard was.

Inuyasha, Kagome, and Shippo didn't know that a conspiracy targeting them had already begun.

On the Mountain Peak, Mage Miroku and a Tanuki Yokai were preparing to ambush them.

"Then, Master Miroku."

"If I meet with misfortune, you must save me…"

The Tanuki Yokai took out a leaf, placed it on his head, and said anxiously.

"Don't worry…"

Miroku said with a smile, throwing the Tanuki Yokai out.

Immediately after, the Tanuki Yokai turned into a huge rock and rushed down from the Mountain Top.

On Shan Yao, Inuyasha's expression changed slightly, he looked toward the Mountain Peak, and discovered a huge rock heading straight for him.

Caught off guard, Inuyasha, along with Shippo, was knocked off Shan Ya.

"Ah…"

Kagome cried out in surprise, pushing her bicycle and nearly falling.

With no time to care for the bicycle, Kagome ran to Shan Ya Bian and shouted worriedly, "Inuyasha…"

At this moment, behind Kagome, a hand reached out, grabbed her, and placed her on the Bicycle.

This person was none other than Mage Miroku, who had plotted with the Tanuki Yokai.

"Who… who are you!" Kagome cried out, her face full of vigilance.

"Please rest assured, I am a person serving the Buddha, not some suspicious person."

"I originally wanted to obtain the Shikon Jewel Shard, but unexpectedly I also brought you along." Mage Miroku revealed a charming smile and explained.

"You actually treat people as accessories!" Kagome became somewhat angry after hearing this.

Isn't it because of my beauty?!

He actually described it as a dispensable spoil of war; this Mage is truly too hateful.

Down the mountain, Inuyasha stopped and propped up the Giant Rock.

When he turned his head, he saw Kagome had been kidnapped by Mage Miroku.

"Kagome…"

"Who is that guy?!"

Inuyasha pushed with all his might, nudging the Giant Rock slightly, and threw a punch that struck the Giant Rock.

"Get out of my way!"

"Otherwise…"

Inuyasha drew Tessaiga and threatened.

Seeing Inuyasha draw Tessaiga, the tanuki yokai was frightened into undoing its transformation, hid there, and cried out, "I... I'm going to be killed..."

"Your friend sure is rough!"

Seeing this, Monk Miroku, unable to stand by and do nothing despite the danger to the tanuki yokai, unsealed the seal on his right hand and aimed it at Inuyasha.

Suddenly, a tremendous suction force was produced from his right hand.

The surrounding stones were lifted by a wind, and Inuyasha was nearly swept away too; at the critical moment, he thrust Tessaiga into the ground, only then avoiding being carried off.

"Damn it, what is this thing!?"

"How can there be such strong suction...?"

Inuyasha's eyes could barely stay open from the wind sucking at him.

The tanuki yokai was sucked away; Inuyasha could only stare helplessly.

Kagome's expression changed greatly; this mage was actually this formidable.

His hand was just like a black hole; everything sucked in was devoured.

"Monk Miroku, don't!"

Seeing it was about to be sucked into Monk Miroku's right hand Wind Tunnel, the tanuki yokai shouted.

"What a hassle..."

Monk Miroku muttered, and hastily sealed the Wind Tunnel in his hand.

The tanuki yokai fell beside Miroku, letting out a miserable scream.

"It's gone..." Kagome looked strangely at Miroku's right hand.

Miroku glanced at Kagome and said with a smile, "Miss, I cannot stay long."

"I hope we have a chance to meet again."

Kagome blanked for a moment, "Uh..."

This mage didn't look like a bad person either.

While Kagome was distracted, Monk Miroku had already snatched the Shikon Jewel Shard from Kagome's person.

"Ah..."

"Shikon Jewel Shard!"

Kagome was greatly shocked.

"Ah ba, time to go!" Monk Miroku turned back, not forgetting to call the tanuki yokai.

Hearing this, the tanuki yokai used a minor spell to turn into a puff of smoke and vanished.

"Kagome..."

"Are you alright!?"

At this time, Inuyasha jumped up from below the cliff and asked with concern.

"I'm fine..."

"However, the Shikon Jewel Shard was snatched away by him." Kagome said somewhat embarrassedly.

"What!?"

"Snatched away... damn it... that stinking monk!"

Hearing this, Inuyasha's face changed greatly; he lifted Tessaiga and gave chase.

"Hey! Inuyasha, wait for me!" Kagome shouted.

"Kagome, climb up. I'll carry you on my back, catch up to Inuyasha."

At this moment, Shippo transformed into a giant flesh ball and flew to Kagome's front.

"Shippo..."

Hearing it was Shippo's voice, Kagome only then felt at ease, and then sat on.

On the other side, Zang Ye swung the Lightning Strike Blade, striking down one by one the yokai that came to snatch the Shikon Jewel Shard.

"Ah..."

"Ah..."

The yokai were numerous, yet they were merely minor yokai, their eyes blinded by the Shikon Jewel's power, coming to seize the Shikon Jewel.

In this forest, Zang Ye was like a lighthouse in the dark night, attracting countless yokai.
