Your spirit is wounded...

Kagome Higurashi instinctively glanced at Inuyasha, who was trembling with anger, not knowing what to say.

Gu Mo didn't care about the thoughts of the other side, and continued to speak to himself: "So, the Four Souls Jade... hand it over."

"..."

"..."

The scene was slightly quiet.

"Bastard! Don't even think about it! Kagome, you absolutely must not give it to this guy!" Inuyasha, who had come to his senses, could no longer hold back. His face turned red with anger. This guy had already taken so much, and now he wanted to seize the Four Souls Jade that they had painstakingly collected?

How could he remain calm!

Kagome also took a deep breath and shook her head firmly, resolutely refusing: "I can't give it to you..." The power of the Four Souls Jade was extremely dangerous, and the opponent was a demon, which already made the situation feel powerless. If they gave the Four Souls Jade to him, it could become even worse.

However—

"Hmph! You don't have a choice... refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit!"

Gu Mo's face turned cold in an instant. He let out a slight snort and raised the Tusk Sword in his hand.

"Wind Injury—!!"

A terrifying power gathered on the demon blade, as if the wind was wrapping around the blade. The fearsome demon qi roiled and spread, and the sky above changed its colors in an instant, the clouds moving from all directions.

The group on the opposite side turned pale. This terrifying omen and awe-inspiring might—if the blade slashes down, it would definitely be an earth-shattering horror scene! At this moment, everyone reflexively took action, with unparalleled coordination to seize a sliver of hope!

Master Maitreya swiftly moved to unravel the prayer beads wrapped around his hand!

Kagome gritted her teeth and released the bowstring, shooting out a beam of light shining with sacred spiritual light!

Inuyasha rushed forward with eyes wide in anger, shouting, while drawing the sword scabbard from his waist to block in front of him!

At this critical moment, he finally remembered the power of the sword scabbard, which could at least resist the terrifying power of the demon blade, buying a bit more chance in the upcoming devastating destruction... but the opponent's actions were too fast, turning hostile in an instant, and in the next moment, the blade was slashed down with lightning speed!

A hurricane of destruction, a frenzied shockwave!

The ground shattered, and everything before the destructive dance turned to ashes in an instant!

This was the terrifying scene that everyone saw, and in the next moment, the roaring torrent swept towards them, engulfing them all in one go!

Kagome's pupils shrank to the limit. Faced with the oncoming surge of destruction, she instinctively closed her eyes, feeling the suffocating pressure coming head-on. Her body was lifted by the fierce wind, like a piece of paper, dispersed entirely...

—Am I going to die?

—Is this journey finally coming to an end?

Some such thoughts surfaced in her mind instinctively, and the next moment she felt her arm being grabbed, her whole body lifted into the air, with the wind howling by her ears. Within a few seconds, she gently landed on the ground, feeling a sense of solidity.

She was dazed for a moment, then reopened her eyes to see herself standing in front of the young man, unharmed all over.

Instinctively looking back, her eyes widened—

Because over there, on the open ground, Inuyasha, Master Maitreya, and others were flailing and struggling desperately, as if resisting suddenly viscous air like malt sugar, or as if an unseen flood in the air was sweeping them away.

Their actions resembled frantic struggling in a heavy torrent, and that sense of struggle seemed very real, reflected in their body and movement, as if they firmly believed in it.

"Your mentality or spiritual power is quite good, ah. I really put in a lot of effort before successfully ensnaring you in the illusion."

Gu Mo laughed heartily, simultaneously raising his index finger to gently massage his brows.

Thankfully, the real power of Wind Injury was intimidating enough to keep them instinctively worried about this matter, causing a flaw in their willpower. And he kept brandishing the demon blade arbitrarily to scare them, magnifying this mental flaw through fear.

Through actions deepening the suggestion, using words to guide them in that direction, it required multiple setups to succeed.

After all, the opposing team was the reincarnation of the strongest witch, or a half-demon inheriting the blood of a great demon, or a mage with significant mana... Only little fox Qi Bao was easily dealt with. But it also indicated the qualitative leap brought by the transformation of his spiritual power. Without demonizing, he likely couldn't achieve this before.

"What-what do you want to do..."

Kagome finally realized what had happened, unsure whether to feel relieved or more worried. Now she was facing this dangerous enemy alone...

Realizing this, the girl's body flinched, and she instinctively retreated a few steps while shouting loudly: "Inuyasha—"

"Don't bother calling, he can't hear it... as for what I want to do, hahaha, you already know, don't you?"

Gu Mo let out an amused villainous laughter, stepping forward and reaching directly for the collar of the sailor-suited girl.
