Chapter 561 is truly a pair of star-crossed lovers.
Holding Cynthia's hand, Li Shuwen felt a surge of happiness.
With a smile on her lips, Cynthia suddenly pointed to a star in the sky and said, "Shuwen, look, that star is so bright."
Following Cynthia's finger, Li Shuwen successfully found the brightest star in the sky.
Li Shuwen was taken aback, because he used to be physically weak, so he had read a lot of miscellaneous books.
This included books on astrology. Based on Li Shuwen's limited knowledge of astrology, he said, "Cynthia, the star you're seeing looks like a death star, doesn't it?"
Cynthia was also taken aback for a moment, because she liked to study Sinnoh ancient mythology and had also read some books on astrology.
Cynthia blinked after doing the calculations. "This really is a death omen!"
Li Shuwen's expression immediately turned serious. "With the ominous star shining so brightly, something bad is definitely going to happen to someone!"
Cynthia immediately followed, "Kikyo the Priestess! We were just saying we'd go visit her at the Bone Tower, how could we forget after just a quick stroll around!"
Li Shuwen immediately sat up. "Let's go, let's go check out the spirit bone tower now. Maybe the Kikyo priestess is still alright!"
Cynthia nodded. "Okay."
After leaving the tent, Li Shuwen and Shirona mounted Milton and flew towards the Bone Tower at top speed.
They burst into the Bone Tower through the window on the fourth floor.
However, upon arriving at the location of the magic circle, apart from the scattered items that had been partially purified, Kikyo was nowhere to be seen.
There were still some drops of blood on the ground.
Li Shuwen frowned slightly. "Judging from the marks on the ground, it seems that Miss Kikyo fought with the people who broke into the Spirit Bone Tower and was injured."
"Then, despite his injuries, he chased after the villains who had broken into the Bone Tower."
Li Shuwen squatted down and dipped his finger in a drop of blood. "The blood is still wet, so Miss Kikyo shouldn't have been gone for too long."
Cynthia releases Lucario, "Lucario, use the bloodstains on the ground to find Ms. Kikyo."
Lucario used its canine sense of smell to pinpoint the direction Kisame had gone.
Like Li Shuwen and the others, Kikyo also chased the enemy away from the window on the fourth floor of the Spirit Bone Tower.
Lucario jumped directly to the ground, and Li Shuwen and Cynthia rode Milton to follow Lucario.
Soon, they chased them all the way to a forest west of Ziyuan Town.
Upon seeing Kikyo's shoulder wound reopen and blood flowing incessantly.
Li Shuwen immediately released his waveguide power in an attempt to stabilize Kikyo's wound.
However, Kikyo's wounds carried a ghostly, resentful power.
This force of death clashes with human vitality, hindering the healing of Kikyo's wounds.
Cynthia frowned. "Kikyo-san, who hurt you?"
Kikyo's expression was somewhat desolate. "Yashimaru, a half-demon mage, also came for the powerful ghostly energy contained within the Spirit Bone Tower."
"I originally thought he would be different from other ghost clan mages, but I didn't expect him to be a despicable, cunning, and unscrupulous guy."
"He came over in the middle of the night, and after seeing the purification tools you gave me, he suddenly attacked me with the magic weapon. If I hadn't reacted quickly, I probably would have been killed on the spot."
"I originally thought he would be willing to become an ordinary human, but I was wrong. He only wanted to use the tools to completely transform himself into a demon."
Kikyo's expression was mournful and desolate.
Li Shuwen blinked. No, there really is a dog demon?
Cynthia's eyes flashed with murderous intent. How dare he take advantage of an innocent girl's feelings! This child must not be allowed to live!
"Lucario, find that demon mage for me!"
Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow. If there is Inuyasha, does Naraku have one?
"Miss Kikyo, have you saved anyone recently?"
Kikyo paused for a moment, "Recently, many trainers who were exploring the Spirit Bone Tower have been injured, and I have treated them all."
"Then they were taken to the hospital. Why did Mr. Shuwen ask that?"
Li Shuwen calmly explained, "I suspect that a vengeful spirit has controlled the intruding trainer and used illusion magic to transform into Yashamaru to attack you."
Li Shuwen stopped Cynthia from giving chase and said, "The most important thing now is to treat Miss Kikyo. Cynthia, please go and fetch Granny Kikuko."
"Grandma Kikuko is the real expert when it comes to treating Kikyo's wounds. My abilities can only prevent Kikyo's injuries from worsening."
Cynthia nodded and left Rockruff, Milotic, Roserade, Togekiss, and Lucario to guard Li Shuwen.
Only then did he mount Milton and take Garchomp to invite Grandma Kikuko.
Li Shuwen maintained his Aura, while Kikyo knelt on the ground, pondering whether the person who attacked her was Yashamaru.
Li Shuwen discovered that the vengeful spirit entangled in Kikyo's wound was like a curse, and it was constantly increasing in strength over time.
Simply relying on the power of waveguides was not enough to stop the spread of the vengeful spirit's power.
Li Shuwen extended his left hand, his fingertips glowing with a pink fairy light, and touched Kikyo's wound.
Barely managing to dispel part of the vengeful spirit's curse without harming Kikyo.
"Miss Kikyo, a half-demon, shouldn't be able to unleash such a powerful curse."
The appearance of Li Shuwen and Cynthia lessened Kikyo's resentment considerably.
Especially after the curse was suppressed by Li Shuwen, Kikyo was able to have some energy to think about the whole story that had just happened.
"It shouldn't be... Yashamaru who made it."
Although they hadn't spent much time together, Kikyo was confident that, as a priestess, she wouldn't have any problems with her perception of Yashamaru.
Li Shuwen nodded. "Then hang in there. Once you've recovered, go find Yashamaru to verify things and seek revenge on the vengeful spirit that hurt you!"
Kikyo's eyes regained their brightness, and with her will to survive restored, Li Shuwen felt that the activity level of the curse had decreased.
Just then, Natsume and Grandma Kikuko teleported nearby.
Kikuko stepped forward, examined Kikyo's injuries, and frowned slightly. "It's alright, the curse isn't too serious. If you hadn't run around like that, Kikyo, the treatment wouldn't have been too difficult."
"As for now, he won't recover in just a few months."
Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow and asked, "Where's Cynthia? Why didn't she come with you?"
Sabrina spoke up, "I divined Yashamaru's location. Miss Cynthia said she's going to bring Yashamaru to Miss Kikyo to apologize and atone for his sins."
Grandma Kikuko took out some ingredients from her pocket and began to prepare the antidote.
He said, "Don't worry, Cynthia borrowed my strongest Gengar. With Gengar's help, even if Yashamaru has some underhanded tricks..."
"None of them could possibly harm Cynthia."
Grandma Kikuko moved quickly and steadily, and soon made a black ointment.
"It might hurt a little, just bear with it."
Then she pulled open Kikyo's shrine maiden robes and applied the ointment to the wound on her shoulder.
Li Shuwen naturally looked up at the sky and found that Kikyo's omen of death was not as bright as before, but it was still not a good sign.
Natsume also looked up. "Judging from the stars, Miss Kikyo's calamity has not been completely averted."
Kikuko gave a sinister smile. "The Oni race. When I was young, I dealt with many Oni, and those guys were all treacherous and ruthless."
"A shrine maiden as innocent and powerful as you is the perfect candidate for the demon race."
Kikyo's face paled instantly. "So, Yashamaru really is using me?"
Kikuko's eyes brightened. "No, I mean, you and that half-onna kid have probably both been used!"
As expected, Garchomp flew back with a young man with white hair.
The young man, dressed in a dark blue robe, was covered in wounds.
The dark blue robe looked quite similar to the fur of the Firestorm Beast.
Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow. "Fire Rat Fur?"
Cynthia landed on her Miradon. "I didn't find any enemies, just this guy who was badly beaten."
"It seems to be a Ghost-type Pokémon that did it, Grandma Akiko. I can only ask you to help with the treatment."
Kikyo looked at the young man, her expression immediately becoming agitated. "It's Yashamaru! How did he get so badly injured?"
Kikuko stepped forward and took a look. "His clothes are nice, but his strength is indeed lacking. He didn't do it; he doesn't have the ability."
"If Cynthia hadn't arrived in time, he probably would have been killed by the mastermind behind it all."
Sabrina spoke calmly, "The Death Star has faded a bit and no longer poses a threat to Kikyo's life."
Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow. It seemed that in the Pokémon world, the stories of Kikyo and Inuyasha would take different turns.
Grandma Kikuko diluted the remaining ointment with water and applied it to Yashamaru's body.
"Although he's a half-ghost, this kid's physique is much stronger than yours. Just use the remaining ointment; he won't die."
"The old woman doesn't have the energy to prepare another dose of the antidote."
Li Shuwen stopped the waveguide power, took out three bottles of high-energy supplements, and drank one bottle himself first.
He handed Kikyo another bottle, and poured the last bottle into Inuyasha's mouth.
After drinking the high-energy supplement, Inuyasha slowly woke up.
In the Pokémon world, Inuyasha doesn't have those two dog ears.
He looks basically like an ordinary human being.
After drinking the high-energy supplement, Inuyasha woke up quickly.
"Kikyo, why did you...?"
Inuyasha sat up and saw Kikyo covered in blood.
"Kikyo, you're injured! Who did this?"
"Let me go and kill him!"
Cynthia said calmly, "Save your breath. You almost got beaten to death yourself, and you still want to avenge Kikyo."
Inuyasha was stunned. "The person who attacked me just now wasn't Kikyo, it was a demon?"
Kikuko narrowed her eyes. "I didn't expect there to be a vengeful spirit that managed to escape from the Bone Tower before I could even make a move, avoiding my sight."
"But it's strange, such a powerful vengeful spirit couldn't possibly escape my notice."
Li Shuwen began, "Perhaps it was some weak vengeful spirits that, with the help of human resentment, gave rise to a powerful vengeful spirit."
Kikuko nodded in agreement. "It seems that's true. Those demons are cruel and bloodthirsty, and they're using this method to make their vengeful spirits even stronger."
Kikyo spoke weakly, "Yashimaru, don't be impulsive."
Li Shuwen shook his head. The two of them almost died because of a misunderstanding. They were truly a pair of star-crossed lovers.
Li Shuwen's Gengar jumped out of its Poké Ball on its own, shouting, "Gengar!"
He wouldn't allow such a powerful vengeful spirit to exist in front of Gengar, the most evil being in the world!
Kikuko smiled. "Since Gengar is willing to help, then I'll leave this matter to you."
Kikuko took a box out of her pocket and handed it to Li Shuwen.
"This is a Poison Orb that I made myself. I always thought it was a failure, but suddenly I realized it would be perfect for your Gengar."
"It's not that this Poison Orb is no good, it's just that my Gengar can't unleash its full power."
Gengar simply curled its tongue and swallowed the Poison Orb.
Gengar's body suddenly emitted a pure purple light.
Kikuko explained, "In the past, I only thought about using the power contained in Gengar's mind to enhance the power of the Poison Orb."
"But my Gengar's mind is too complicated, and it produces too many toxins and impurities. The light it emits after using the Poison Orb is multicolored."
"Like gasoline floating on water, it has a completely negative effect."
In contrast, Li Shuwen's Gengar caused the Poison Orb to generate pure poison-attribute energy.
"With this power, it seems only a matter of time before Bookboy's Gengar surpasses mine."
"This highly poisonous orb should have a unique effect when you face that mixed vengeful spirit."
"When the time comes, let Gengar use its poison to attack him."
"Using other skills to attack will likely make it escape part of its range."
Sabrina's eyes glowed blue. "According to the clues I received from my premonition, that vengeful spirit should be in the hospital in Lavender Town right now."
Sure enough, when they arrived at the hospital, Li Shuwen sensed that one of the injured trainers was emanating an ominous aura.
Beside him was a vengeful spirit, like a product of forcibly kneading together all colors of clay.
Li Shuwen said, "Gengar, please, use Poison."
Gengar nodded, and venom condensed on its fist.
Then he slipped into the shadow passage, appeared in front of the vengeful spirit, and punched it, injecting all the poison into its body.
Then Gengar swung another fist.
Enveloped in dark shadow energy, Gengar unleashed a Shadow Punch, shattering the wraith into countless smaller ones.
But each of these vengeful spirits carried a purple aura of Gengar's deadly poison.
And after the vengeful spirits dispersed, the purple light spread even faster.
The vengeful spirits fled in terror, gathering together in a small group.
"Garuda, pounce!"
Garchomp, bathed in the light of the earth, blasted the vengeful spirit into pieces with a single fin.
Gengar's eyes widened instantly. "Gengar!"
Don't waste food if you're not going to eat it!
It quickly stuck out its red tongue and gathered all the vengeful spirits into a ball.
Lick it with your tongue!
Ghostly energy and toxins once again seeped into the vengeful spirit's body.
The vengeful spirits were quickly dyed a deep purple, and this time, the spirits gathered together and looked strangely more pleasing to the eye.
After Gengar ate the vengeful spirits, Li Shuwen discovered that after being infected by the poison, Gengar could digest the vengeful spirits much better.
The poisonous pearl created by Granny Kikuko is truly a treasure.
The only problem is that the conditions for using it are too strict.
Gengar with a pure heart is indeed a rare sight in this world.
Li Shuwen rubbed Gengar's head and said, "Even though you have the Poison Orb, you'd better not eat anything recklessly."
"Do you understand?"
