Chapter 111 - Conqueror's Haki Shakes the Whole Field; How Dominant is This Guy?!
"What an aura! When did the Inu Demon Clan produce such a fellow?!"
A hint of shock flashed through Chief's mind. That aura, that feeling that made one want to submit, it couldn't help but surprise Chief.
That was the aura of a king!
Even he vaguely felt this way, not to mention everyone else.
He glanced at the many demons on the battlefield. At this moment, a group of demons near Bai Ye had already fainted, simply knocked out by the sheer force of his aura.
Many other demons even showed fear, not daring to even think about fighting Bai Ye.
"Then, from now on, I shall be your enemy!"
As he spoke, Bai Ye drew Blade Shadow from his left hip and pointed it at the Leopard Cat Clan in front of him. At that moment, his Conqueror's Haki reached its peak, and the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be pressed down.
The Haoshoku-like black and purple lightning danced wildly in the air.
How terrifying was this? How immense was this spirit? At this moment, everyone's gaze was fixed on Bai Ye on the battlefield. No one could have imagined that the focal point of this war would be Bai Ye. Everyone initially thought it would be Inu Daisho and Chief.
But now, no demon on the battlefield could ignore this man in front of them.
His Haki, even as an enemy, Chief couldn't help but exclaim, "A tiger father has no dog son!"
At the same time, he also felt a bit of jealousy. Why could Inu Daisho have such a dominant son, while he did not!
"If this person were me..."
Sesshomaru murmured, a hint of longing in his heart.
He had always said that he hated Bai Ye, and also hated Bai Ye and Inu Daisho for interacting with humans.
In his opinion, both Bai Ye and Inu Daisho had fallen.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to choose humans.
At that time, Sesshomaru's beliefs had always been crumbling.
Although he never said it, he had always regarded Bai Ye as his role model.
From childhood, Bai Ye had always guided his growth, and his cultivation always kept him a step ahead.
If his father was a goal to aspire to and surpass, then Bai Ye, as his elder brother, was definitely the person Sesshomaru most wanted to gain recognition from.
He had always hoped that one day he could surpass Bai Ye and gain Bai Ye's recognition.
So, he wanted Tessaiga, because even if he was unwilling to admit it, Sesshomaru had always wondered if he could surpass Bai Ye without Tessaiga?
Perhaps not.
So, he developed an obsession with Tessaiga for the first time, especially when Bai Ye advised him not to take Tessaiga. He had thought that perhaps Bai Ye wanted to inherit it, or perhaps Bai Ye didn't want him to get Tessaiga and then surpass him.
But no matter which it was, Sesshomaru was very conflicted at that time. He didn't want Bai Ye to worry about him, but he still wanted Tessaiga.
Afterward, on this battlefield, once it was finally confirmed that Bai Ye indeed did not want Tessaiga, Sesshomaru's heart, which had almost been suppressed, became active again, especially with Bai Ye's current appearance.
It made Sesshomaru even clearer that if he didn't have Tessaiga, he would definitely not be able to surpass Bai Ye in this lifetime. So, he had to get Tessaiga, and his obsession with Tessaiga grew by another point.
"What a dominant man."
Toura, who was opposite him, looked at Bai Ye. A hint of shock flashed in her eyes, but at the same time, she felt a strange sensation in her heart. This was something she had never felt before; even from Chief, she had never felt such terrifying pressure.
Moreover, his age was not much different from hers, yet this demon seemed much stronger than her. This made Toura, who was originally a prodigy, somewhat unable to accept it.
She was a genius from birth. Demons of the same age, or even slightly older than her, were not her opponents. Among the Four Heavenly Kings, her strength was even capable of defeating the other three combined.
However, when facing Bai Ye, she even felt a sense of powerlessness.
"I must defeat this guy!"
Toura secretly thought, and at the same time, she found her life goal.
Before, she had always been a genius spoken of by others. At that time, she had no goals in her heart, only knowing that Chief wanted them to cultivate diligently and defeat the Inu Demon Clan on the battlefield in the future.
And the Four Heavenly Kings had always done just that, but this was a goal set by Chief and not her own.
She had never thought about how she should walk her own path, only stepping by step according to Chief's arrangements. But now, seeing Bai Ye, seeing Bai Ye who was also a genius like herself, she clearly understood her own heart.
Defeat this guy in front of her, and prove that she is a stronger genius than him!
Battle intent spread in Toura's eyes. She raised her right hand, and an ice blade formed in it. Immediately after, Toura quickly rushed towards Bai Ye.
"Toura?"
"Your opponent is me!"
"Opponent?"
Bai Ye murmured, raising Blade Shadow and directly blocking Toura's attack.
Fighting him in close combat?
Bai Ye gently lifted his weapon, instantly sending Toura flying.
Demons have quite a lot of strength, but compared to him, Toura's close combat skills were definitely inferior.
"Sister!"
"Don't worry about it. The three of you deal with that Sesshomaru, I'll handle her!"
Toura raised her hand to stop Shiran, Aki Arashi, and Haru Arashi, who seemed to want to come and support her. She quickly refused; she didn't need it.
She had just wanted to test Bai Ye's strength, which was why she decided to directly go up and fight Bai Ye. But she was not good at close combat, so it was normal for her to be at a disadvantage in that aspect, Toura thought.
After speaking, Toura turned her head and looked at Bai Ye very seriously, saying, "This time, I won't use my weakness against your strength!"
"Why do you think this is my strength?"
Close combat isn't even what he's best at!
But it's fine, it's a good chance to see Toura's abilities.
This ability is similar to the Ice-Ice Fruit...
"I won't fall behind you!"
Sesshomaru also made up his mind, and he would definitely get Tessaiga later.
Before that, he must make a name for himself on the battlefield.
Lest everyone know Bai Ye but not him.
After realizing this, Sesshomaru directly blocked Haru Arashi, Shiran, and Aki Arashi. At this time, he couldn't give them a chance to support like before.
Each had chosen their own opponents.
And this war itself was unfair. Although Sesshomaru felt he couldn't immediately defeat these three, he knew very well that these three were not his opponents.
Over on Inu Daisho's side, he and Chief had also reached a white-hot stage of battle, with both sides sustaining injuries.
Bai Ye, on the other hand, seemed very relaxed. In his fight with Toura, Bai Ye seemed to feel no pressure at all.
This also made Toura feel a bit uncomfortable. Both she and he were geniuses, but why did she feel such a huge gap between them?
"Being distracted during a fight isn't a good habit. Didn't that Chief teach you?"
Bai Ye's cold voice rang in Toura's ears. Even if she immediately snapped back to reality, the weapon was already close. The next second, she raised her hand to block with an ice wall between herself and Bai Ye, but the ice wall was as fragile as a piece of paper in front of Bai Ye, instantly cut through. Then, the next second, Toura felt the blade getting closer and closer to her.
"Ice Burst!"
Toura raised both hands, and an explosion directly blasted herself away.
She didn't use this move to hit Bai Ye, but to avoid being struck by Bai Ye. She had a premonition that if she had been hit by that strike just now, she would probably have died there.
And this also caused Toura to suffer no small amount of damage from her own technique.
"What a pity."
Bai Ye said indifferently. If Toura hadn't used that move to blast herself away just now, she would have died.
He glanced at Inu Daisho's side. Both had already transformed into their demon forms, their figures obscuring the sky and sun. Unlike Inu Daisho, who was somewhat restrained and unwilling to launch large-scale attacks, Chief had become completely merciless.
His attack range was very wide, even affecting his own people.
"Sister, hurry!"
Shiran shook off Sesshomaru and directly came in front of Toura, pulling Toura and Bai Ye some distance apart.
They had all seen that strike just now; it was truly meant to kill Toura.
"You're too weak. Let's fight again when you've grown stronger."
Bai Ye felt a bit regretful that he didn't get a lottery chance. He could only temporarily nurture her.
He would kill her later when she was fatter.
Toura, at this moment, was also somewhat shocked, looking at Bai Ye in disbelief. He actually didn't kill her?
Bai Ye, on the other hand, had his own thoughts. The Leopard Cat Clan and the Inu Demon Clan had always been sworn enemies. At this time, unless he completely annihilated the other side, if he needed to unify the entire demon world in the future, then the Leopard Cat Clan would be one of them. In that case, having a proxy might make it easier to subdue them.
So, he would temporarily nurture her. If it didn't work out later, he could kill her.
With this thought, Bai Ye also turned his gaze to Chief. The hatred between Chief and the Inu-yasha was irreconcilable, so Chief had to be killed. Otherwise, the Leopard Cat Clan would absolutely not obey him.
Thinking about it this way, it seemed that many great demons should be eliminated.
If he thought about it carefully, wouldn't subduing those demons also count as changing the plot's direction? It seemed there were quite a few lottery chances, which was more cost-effective than directly eliminating them.
However, Bai Ye would not forcefully subdue those who couldn't be subdued. If he could get lottery chances, why not?
"Hey, this is my war with Chief!"
Inu Daisho looked helplessly at Bai Ye, who had already walked in front of him. No demon dared to block Bai Ye's path as he approached, all making way for him.
And upon seeing Bai Ye's arrival, Inu Daisho was also a bit speechless. Had he solved his own enemy and then come here to steal his enemy?
Inu Daisho had his own pride. If this got out, wouldn't it be said that he and his son were two-on-one, bullying an old cat?
"I know, but you're too slow. I'll only make one move. After one move, you can fight however you want!"
Both sides were already covered in injuries. Inu Daisho was a bit better, with fewer injuries, but Chief truly felt the pressure from Bai Ye. If Bai Ye and Inu Daisho teamed up, he would definitely die!
So, after hearing Bai Ye's words, he actually breathed a sigh of relief. Who did this kid think he was?
Did he think he could defeat him with one move?
Although he was injured and not at his peak, as a king-level great demon, he was not someone any demon could simply defeat. Even if this demon seemed like a genius, a genius also needed time and space to grow!
"I understand. Then, come on."
Inu Daisho calculated in his mind. It was a good chance for him to rest for a while. Although it was a bit despicable, he now clearly understood that maintaining his condition was the best choice.
After all, after fighting Chief, if he fell into a disadvantage, it wouldn't just be Chief's problem; internal issues would also arise, and there were many great demons he had offended who wanted his head!
"Kid, who do you think you are? You think you can defeat me with one move? Then this old man will show you what a king-level great demon is!"
A ferocious look flashed across Chief's face. He had already decided to use this opportunity to eliminate Bai Ye.
This son of Inu Daisho...
If he died on this battlefield, he believed Inu Daisho would also lose his composure, and at the same time, it could strike a blow to the morale of the Inu Demon Clan. Then, their Leopard Cat Clan would not be without a chance of victory.
As a leader, Chief naturally saw that at this moment, their Leopard Cat Clan had already shown some signs of decline.
If they couldn't do something to boost morale, then their defeat would be inevitable.
And now, there was a very morale-boosting opportunity right in front of him: eliminate Inu Daisho's son!
Thinking of this, a trace of wind power gathered at the claws in Chief's hand, and a vortex of demonic power began to gather continuously. He would use his strongest attack to directly eliminate Bai Ye.
And Inu Daisho behind him was also a bit worried, and at the same time, he gripped his weapon tightly. He was also ready to strike at any moment.
"Will it succeed?"
Toura looked at Chief and Bai Ye's positions. For some reason, she felt that she no longer believed that Chief would win.
What was the reason?
Because of him?
"Has the gap between us really become this large?"
Sesshomaru murmured. At this moment, he desperately wanted to know how much more of a gap there was between himself and Bai Ye!
Watching as both sides seemed to be ready.
Chief's claws struck towards Bai Ye. That vortex of demonic energy seemed to be about to swallow Bai Ye the next second. And on Bai Ye's side, Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki wrapped around Blade Shadow, then a slash of spatial power was unleashed: "Kamui: Seventh Style - Divine Avoidance!"
The sky seemed to be torn apart, and space was cut by Bai Ye. And that Haki, even Inu Daisho at this moment, could not describe.
This power, what kind of power was this?!
All the demons present were silent, because they were all shocked by the scene before their eyes.
They had never seen such a battle.
What kind of power was that!?
When did their Inu Demon Clan possess such formidable power?
And Chief, at this moment, still had shock in his eyes. He didn't understand why this was happening?!
