Chapter 111: Confrontation, Begging, Deception
As Shiyu Uchiha and miko Miroku entered, the Chimei Wengliang, which had originally been in a deep slumber, instantly awakened. It roared furiously at the two of them, only restrained from charging forth by the power of the Sealing Barrier binding it.
Understanding its true nature, the two remained unaffected by such intimidation. They knew well that this was nothing more than an empty display of strength. Neither being one for unnecessary words, they immediately proceeded with their prearranged plan.
This plan had been carefully formulated over the past three days, revised repeatedly based on all available intelligence regarding the Chimei Wengliang. They'd even planned for all sorts of unexpected situations in case things went sideways.
Thus, as soon as the two sprang into action, they acted decisively without hesitation. First, miko Miroku established a connection with the Sealing Barrier, initiating without delay a Sealing Technique to suppress the Chimei Wengliang, continuously intensifying the pressure imposed upon it.
Her hands moved through a series of Hand Seals as she chanted under her breath. A mysterious force surged from her body, flowing into the Sealing Barrier. The barrier emitted dazzling light, tightly enveloping the Chimei Wengliang within its glow, rendering escape impossible.
At this moment, only the strongest of Chimei Wengliang's multiple heads could still move slightly, but Shiyu Uchiha, already fully prepared, seized this opportunity. Employing the power of his Mangekyo Sharingan, he activated [Magic Illusion: Sharingan] to further subdue the monstrous entity.
As Shiyu Uchiha's Mangekyo Sharingan radiated a blood-red glow, the tidal wave of his genjutsu surged toward the Chimei Wengliang. Feeling the immense mental pressure, the creature attempted to struggle and resist. However, its physically bound body couldn't mount any effective reaction.
This time, seizing the initiative, Shiyu dragged the Chimei Wengliang's spirit into a Genjutsu Space conjured from his Sharingan, engaging in a battle of wills against it. He was ready for some payback from a few days back. In theory, this method shouldn't have worked on it—the Chimei Wengliang possessed a spiritual domain just as powerful as Shiyu's Mangekyo Sharingan. But Shiyu had his ally.
Once confirming that the Chimei Wengliang had fallen under the genjutsu, miko Miroku, following their previously arranged plan, directly leapt onto the monster's head. Then, completing a series of Hand Seals swiftly, she slammed both palms onto its head. Immediately afterward, numerous Cursed Seals spread across the beast's head, severing the connection between the Chimei Wengliang's consciousness and its physical form, guaranteeing it would be unable to control its true body for a short period.
Then, Miroku jumped backward, distancing herself entirely from the Chimei Wengliang's head. Through seamless coordination between Shiyu Uchiha and miko Miroku, the Chimei Wengliang gradually fell into a desperate situation—its strength continuously weakened, posing less and less threat to the two.
Subsequently, Miroku took a deep breath, focusing intently as she reestablished a connection between her chakra and the sealed space. This step carried critical importance; she needed to use the four chains within the sealed space to tightly link her chakra with that of the Chimei Wengliang.
When the two chakras made contact, they interwove instantaneously, just like yin and yang—opposing forces irresistibly drawn together.
This peculiar phenomenon wasn't surprising, as the miko's power and the power of Chimei Wengliang originally stemmed from the same source, naturally resonating with each other.
Soon after, miko Miroku tightly gripped the sealing chains in her hands and exerted all her strength, using her chakra to drag out Chimei Wengliang's chakra, forcing its chakra away from its main body.
However, just like what happened when dragging tailed beast chakra, once Miroku successfully pulled out Chimei Wengliang's chakra, she also started experiencing intense waves of negative consciousness.
Yet, this miko Miroku's willpower was far beyond ordinary people. Her spiritual strength was exceptionally strong. Moreover, at this moment, Chimei Wengliang was not only bound by seals, but its spiritual core was also trapped within a genjutsu space by Shiyu Uchiha, locked in battle.
This meant the impact of the negative consciousness was merely an instinctive reaction, its power significantly weakened—as if solid rock had crumbled into loose sand. Therefore, Miroku adapted almost instantly to this pressure and redoubled her efforts, continuing to pull relentlessly on the chakra.
As Miroku relentlessly pulled, the chakra within Chimei Wengliang's body gradually decreased, causing its massive form to shrink accordingly. This change indirectly affected Chimei Wengliang's spirit, causing its previously formidable willpower to show signs of weakening.
Inside the genjutsu space, while countering Chimei Wengliang's spiritual assault, Shiyu Uchiha was completely engaged in a spiritual clash—no physical contact existed between them, yet every collision caused both a momentary dizziness. This was a purely spiritual battle, with both sides trying to destroy each other's mind and belief.
Both beings' spiritual energies, similar to their chakra, externally manifested as Yin nature, though their expressions were entirely different.
Shiyu Uchiha's spiritual energy was as dark and deep as an endless night, filled with tranquil calmness that brought serenity and peace. Yet when he actively erupted, his spiritual force transformed into a burning flame, brimming with determination and unyielding resolve, seemingly wanting to burn everything to ashes.
Using his powerful spiritual energy offensively, he constructed an unbreakable defense line, firmly holding onto his created genjutsu space. While resisting the enemy's attack, he also prevented Chimei Wengliang's spirit from escaping. This defense was as solid as steel; no matter how fiercely Chimei Wengliang attacked, it couldn't break through.
Chimei Wengliang's spirit, however, was like a surging torrent of darkness, filled with evil convictions. They continuously slammed against Shiyu Uchiha's defenses, desperately trying to find any breach.
Simultaneously, they conjured up grotesque and horrifying images in an attempt to unsettle Shiyu Uchiha's resolve.
These included grotesque demons, blood-soaked beasts, and eerie spirits, all capable of sending chills down the spine.
Yet none of these were enough to shake Shiyu Uchiha's conviction—not even slightly. In fact, his spiritual force seemed to suppress Chimei Wengliang's presence somewhat, preventing its powers from reaching their maximum potential.
Most importantly, Shiyu Uchiha keenly sensed that Chimei Wengliang's spiritual power was gradually weakening along with its physical decline. This made him realize Miroku had already taken action, further boosting his confidence.
When the Chimei Wengliang weakened to a certain extent, Shiyu Uchiha clearly sensed a subtle change in their minds—they had actually begun begging for mercy and making all sorts of promises.
Although Shiyu Uchiha wasn't sure whether they still had any hidden Ultimate Move, he remained cautious, prepared to stop them from pulling off a self-destructive final strike. At the same time, he wanted to buy time—the longer the fight dragged on, the better his chances became.
Thus, Shiyu Uchiha decided to calm them down while staying sharp—just in case the enemy was marching in through the front door while sneaking through the back.
