Mo Shuying instinctively released Tamamo-no-Mae and pulled Xiao Yu into his embrace. Then—
Nothing happened!
"Xiao Yu!"
Mo Shuying whispered Xiao Yu's name as she lay in his arms. Xiao Yu, still a bit shaken, kept her eyes closed. Only when she heard Mo Shuying's voice did she look up at him, and then tears welled up.
"Daddy! That bad woman bullied me!"
The "bad woman" was, of course, Kiichi Hōgen. The two little girls had no fighting capability and didn't even last one round before Kiichi Hōgen caught them.
Mo Shuying reached out and patted the little girl's head, then looked at Kiichi Hōgen and, finally, Tamamo-no-Mae!
*"Pfft!"*
Kiichi Hōgen pulled the sword from Tamamo-no-Mae's back. The hilt was extremely hot to the touch, and she casually tossed it aside. The Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi transformed into points of light and vanished.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Tamamo-no-Mae waved her hand, and her treasure mirror flew towards her. She glared at Mo Shuying and said fiercely,
"I've always been the one to trick men! I never thought the day would come when a man would trick me! You're the first person I've ever hated this much!!"
Tamamo-no-Mae clutched her chest. The sword wound was quite severe for her; the heat from the blade had already ravaged the injury, making it difficult to heal.
Mo Shuying didn't retort when he heard Tamamo-no-Mae. Instead, he spoke.
"The feeling's mutual. Didn't you use your Illusion Technique to trick me before? We're even now. Can you give me back my daughter? If you do, I can promise you that I'll take the two girls and leave immediately. I won't interfere with anything in Nihon again."
In Mo Shuying's eyes, Ahri's safety was paramount.
"Ha! Hahahaha!"
But Mo Shuying's words only made Tamamo-no-Mae laugh.
"Even? No! Do you not understand the current situation? This brat is in our hands now. I have the upper hand! And! Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
Tamamo-no-Mae began to absorb the Demonic Energy Cloud, trying to heal the wound on her chest, but it had little effect.
Annoyed, Tamamo-no-Mae looked at the trembling Ahri and reached out, seizing her in her hand.
"Wuwuwu~ Don't eat Ahri~ Bad big sister, don't eat Ahri~ Ahri doesn't taste good, Daddy! Help me!"
Ahri was terrified. Mo Shuying heard her and was about to step forward, but Tamamo-no-Mae stopped him with a shout!
"Stop! Take one more step, and I'll choke this girl to death!"
Tamamo-no-Mae threatened, placing one hand on Ahri's neck. Mo Shuying immediately stopped, but his gaze gradually turned cold.
"What exactly do you want?"
Mo Shuying asked.
Tamamo-no-Mae finally smiled when she saw Mo Shuying's hesitant expression.
"Ha! You ask what I want? What? Scared? Don't worry, I actually have a big gift prepared for you. Kiichi Hōgen, let him see it!"
Tamamo-no-Mae turned to Kiichi Hōgen, who nodded, then put her fingers to her mouth and blew sharply.
*"Drip!!"*
A piercing sound wave spread out. At first, nothing happened, but very quickly!
*"Rumble!"*
Countless multicolored Demonic Energy Clouds rushed in from all directions! This scene reminded Mo Shuying of the previous Demons' attack. The number of approaching Demons was at least several thousand. From the looks of it, Nihon had already become a Demons' paradise.
"Do you see?! My demon race's rise is already set in stone! From now on, Nihon will become the Nation of Ten Thousand Demons! And I! The Empress of Ten Thousand Demons! will reign here!"
Tamamo-no-Mae declared loudly. The approaching Demons looked at Tamamo-no-Mae but didn't respond or react in any other way, which was quite awkward.
"Cough, cough… I haven't said you're the boss yet, so they don't recognize you."
Kiichi Hōgen coughed and said, and Tamamo-no-Mae's face darkened.
At this moment, Mo Shuying spoke.
"That's good. The name Empress of Ten Thousand Demons sounds quite domineering. Look, you all seem pretty busy. How about this: you give me back my daughter, and we won't bother you anymore, alright?"
Mo Shuying said unhurriedly.
Tamamo-no-Mae, hearing this, held up Ahri and revealed a fierce expression.
"Do you still think you can get away unscathed? Impossible! Neither you nor these two brats will leave! These two brats are originally a part of me, and today! Is the day I return to my original state!"
With that, Tamamo-no-Mae's tails extended, and Demonic Energy condensed into a gigantic fox mouth!
The large mouth lunged towards Ahri, seemingly intending to devour her! But just then!
*"Buzz~"*
The sky changed color!
The originally dark sky suddenly transformed into a starry night! Countless stars sparkled, and among them, the brightest few stars seemed to come alive! They began to move!
"Scorpio Shot!"
A voice echoed from the starry sky. The Sagittarius constellation, formed by the clusters of stars, drew its longbow! And then shot out this guaranteed hit!
"Boom!"
A streak of starlight pierced the night sky, its speed exceeding that of light. Though it was a transformed meteor, it wasn't large! This arrow was renowned for its precision!
It gave Tamamo-no-Mae almost no time to react! The starry arrow had already struck her arm!
"Ah!!"
Seeing the arrow lodged in her arm, Tamamo-no-Mae's past fear reawakened, recalling the scene where she had been shattered by an arrow.
With a startled cry, Tamamo-no-Mae instinctively let go, and Mo Shuying! appeared before her in the very next instant!
"Intentional Blast Punch!!"
A punch fueled by furious rage was unleashed! Terrifying Internal Energy erupted like a tidal wave!
Tamamo-no-Mae was completely engulfed! Then, she was blasted into dust!
"Yah!"
Ahri fell, caught by Mo Shuying's hooked leg. The little girl clung tightly to Mo Shuying's thigh, refusing to let go.
Everything happened so quickly that Kiichi Hōgen only just reacted!
"You!"
Kiichi Hōgen pulled out her feather fan and fiercely waved it! A tall tornado erupted on the spot! Mo Shuying hugged the two little girls, retreating quickly, and said with a laugh,
"Are you trying to scatter Tamamo-no-Mae's ashes?"
"..."
Kiichi Hōgen's face darkened, and all the Demons around were stunned.
Our new boss is just gone, like that?
Just then.
"Yohoho~ We're here!"
Ibaraki Doji's shout came from the sky, and a red streak of light rapidly approached, quickly arriving beside Mo Shuying!
Groudon stopped, with several Heroic Spirits standing on top of the spaceship.
There was an excited Ibaraki Doji, a somewhat sleepy Shuten Doji, an idle Nezha, a stern Tomoe Gozen, and a gently smiling Chiron.
Yes, it was indeed that great sage from Greece, the centaur Archer with superb archery skills and countless wisdom, the super mentor who had trained Heracles, Achilles, and many other heroes.
Mo Shuying had summoned him, a snake-related Servant, with a snake curse. He was the embodiment of Sagittarius, and the Scorpio Shot just now was also derived from the anecdote of Sagittarius shooting Scorpio.
"Good shot, Chiron, and everyone else, you've come at just the right time. Nezha, keep an eye on these two girls for me."
Mo Shuying tossed the two little foxes towards Nezha. Nezha showed a look of distaste but still reached out and caught them.
Seeming to sense the Demonic Power on Xiao Yu and Ahri, Nezha frowned and said,
"Why does this Demonic Power feel familiar…"
