"What on earth… was that?"
Miroku stared at the fading blue skeleton that had just protected Uchiha Lie. Even as the chakra construct dissolved into particles of light, the image remained burned into his mind.
"I've seen him use it once before," Kagome said quietly. "He used it to block Hiten's lightning. But I didn't know it could attack like that…"
Her voice trailed off as she looked toward the shattered cliff.
From within the thick cloud of dust and broken rock—
A voice erupted.
"You… have succeeded in angering me."
The temperature in the air seemed to drop instantly.
Sesshomaru stepped out of the smoke.
His once calm and detached expression had twisted into a cold snarl. His eyes glowed an eerie blood-red, and the demonic aura around him surged violently, whipping the dust into spirals.
The cliff wall behind him shattered with a thunderous boom.
Without warning, his figure blurred.
He vanished.
In the next instant, he appeared before Uchiha Lie.
His fingertips pressed together.
A condensed whip of poisonous demonic energy formed instantly, slicing through the air with a shrill whistle—
It lashed forward and cleanly bisected Uchiha Lie at the waist.
"Lie!" Kagome screamed, her face draining of color.
She tried to run forward, but Inuyasha grabbed her arm firmly.
"Don't move," he said through gritted teeth. "That's not the real one."
Kagome froze.
Sesshomaru didn't even spare the severed body a glance.
"A pathetic trick."
Before his words fully settled, he spun sharply and lashed his poison whip toward an empty patch of ground.
The earth exploded.
Uchiha Lie burst upward from beneath the soil.
At the same time, the sliced "corpse" vanished in a puff of smoke, transforming into a broken wooden log.
"Your nose really is sharp," Uchiha Lie sighed lightly. "Substitution Technique doesn't work well against a Great Demon."
He drew his samurai sword in a reverse grip.
Wind-attribute chakra wrapped around the blade instantly, creating a bright edge of cutting light.
Then—
He disappeared.
"Clang—!"
The wind-infused blade collided violently with Tessaiga.
Sparks erupted in the darkness.
With the MangekyĹŤ Sharingan predicting every movement, Uchiha Lie launched a relentless assault.
His sword style was not elegant.
It was brutal.
Every strike aimed to kill.
Afterimages flickered around Sesshomaru like a storm of steel.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Under the moonlit sky, sparks flashed continuously.
From a distance, Kagome and Miroku could only see blinding bursts of light. They couldn't even follow the movements.
Only Inuyasha, relying on his demon eyesight, could barely track the fight.
Sesshomaru, who usually crushed opponents through overwhelming power, was now forced entirely on the defensive.
Every time he attempted to counter, Uchiha Lie's blade was already there.
Predicting.
Intercepting.
Cutting.
Small wounds began appearing across Sesshomaru's armor and skin.
They healed quickly under his immense demonic energy—
But the humiliation did not.
For the first time in his life—
He was being suppressed by a human.
"How is it?!" Kagome asked anxiously.
"Lie has the upper hand…" Inuyasha said grimly. "But that sword won't last against Tessaiga."
As if on cue—
Crack!
Uchiha Lie's blade sliced across Sesshomaru's chest armor—
And snapped in half.
Without hesitation, Uchiha Lie leapt back and tossed the broken weapon aside.
He looked at Sesshomaru with a faint smile.
"Dog demon. Your swordsmanship is pathetic."
His tone shifted.
"Enough warming up."
Sesshomaru responded with silence.
But his eyes were filled with killing intent.
He raised Tessaiga and swung.
A massive blade of demonic energy surged forward, brighter and stronger than before.
"Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!"
Uchiha Lie slammed his hands onto the ground.
A towering earthen wall erupted upward.
Boom—!
The energy blade smashed into it—
And shattered it instantly.
The earth exploded into fragments.
But Uchiha Lie was already gone.
Sesshomaru's gaze sharpened as he scanned the battlefield.
"What are you looking for?"
The voice came from behind him.
Before Sesshomaru could turn—
A powerful kick slammed into his back.
Blood sprayed from his mouth as his body was sent flying forward.
Uchiha Lie burst forward in pursuit.
A fist smashed into Sesshomaru's face mid-air.
"Konoha Whirlwind!"
He spun and delivered a crushing kick to Sesshomaru's abdomen.
The Great Demon shot upward into the sky.
As he struggled to regain focus—
He saw something different.
Orange pigmentation now surrounded Uchiha Lie's eyes.
His aura had multiplied several times over.
Sage Mode.
Sesshomaru's killing intent intensified.
"A mere human— die!"
He unleashed another devastating blade of demonic energy.
It struck Uchiha Lie directly.
But—
Poof!
The body dissolved into smoke.
A Shadow Clone.
The blade carved a massive trench into the earth.
From above, Uchiha Lie's voice descended like a judgment.
"Stop repeating 'mere human.' Trash demons like you aren't impressive."
Sesshomaru instantly wrapped himself in demonic energy.
But it was too late.
High above—
Uchiha Lie raised his leg, Sage chakra condensing violently beneath his foot.
"Sage Art: Painful Sky Leg!"
He descended like a falling star.
The kick struck Sesshomaru directly.
"Urgh—!"
Blood exploded from Sesshomaru's mouth.
His body shot downward like a meteor.
BOOM—!!!
The impact created a massive crater.
The earth split outward in all directions.
Dust engulfed the battlefield.
ShippĹŤ stared wide-eyed.
"So strong…"
Miroku swallowed hard.
"He couldn't fight back at all…"
Kagome and Inuyasha exchanged stunned glances.
They had always known Uchiha Lie was powerful.
But this—
This was overwhelming.
Inside the dust-filled crater—
Sesshomaru lay at its center.
And for the first time—
The Great Demon had been crushed.
