Shuten-dōji and Ōtakemaru stared intently at each other, clearly indicating that a battle between them was about to erupt. While it wouldn't be a life-or-death struggle, neither of them would hold back; they were determined to defeat and crush the other.
Snapped!
Snapped!
Seimei stood not far away, quietly watching the battle. This was not surprising at all for the fight between Shuten-dōji and Ōtakemaru; the outcome of their battle was quite understandable.
after all!
Ōtakemaru has invaded one place after another. Regardless of what happened afterward, one thing is certain: this matter will not end so easily. This is evident from the fact that Kingyo-hime and Shuten-dōji both came to this world. Although revenge is almost impossible, defeating Ōtakemaru is definitely something they must do. This opponent will not let his guard down so easily.
same!
Ōtakemaru is not afraid of anyone's challenge. Come on! If you want a challenge, then come and try it. Everything in the past was his own doing. No matter what, it was all his own doing. Since that's the case, he will naturally bear the consequences of his past actions without any hesitation.
"Master Harumi!"
Yaodao-hime stood beside Seimei and said respectfully, "With the strength of Shuten-dōji and Ōtakemaru, it seems that it will not be easy to determine a winner in this battle. The difference in their strength is actually not that great."
"Ok!"
Seimei nodded in agreement. The difference was indeed not significant. Ōtakemaru's strength was maximized through his combination with Suzuka Mountain, which truly brought his power to its peak. As for Shuten-dōji, he was currently in a state of amnesia. Once he regained his memories, he would naturally return to his peak, making everything seem much simpler. However! Some things are not as easy as they appear.
Of course.
We'll have to wait and see to find out. After all, saying anything now is pointless. The most important thing is to observe step by step and see what happens next. That's the crucial point!
Seimei and Yaodao-hime watched the battlefield silently. Similarly, on both sides of the battlefield at this moment, Suzuka Gozen and the sea monsters of the Sea Kingdom, as well as the oni clan of Mount Oe led by Ibaraki-dōji, were also watching the battlefield silently.
actually!
In that world where life was pretty good, among the demons and monsters, there were actually only two types of yokai. The first type was like the Goldfish Princess, who had a clear identity—she was the Goldfish Princess. The other type was simply oni (ghosts). In fact, whether it was the Demon Sword Princess who was a tsukumogami, Shuten-dōji of Mount Ōe, or Ōtakemaru, their essence was all oni. Did they have a clear identity as what kind of yokai they were? No! That's why their essence was actually oni! They were all members of the oni clan.
only!
Because of their different upbringings or various other differences, the Oni clan is divided into many groups, such as the Oni clan of Mount Oe, the sea monsters of Mount Suzuka, and the aquatic tribes of Arakawa. These are all branches of the Oni clan. Although they are all Oni, they are divided into completely different groups. Whether this change is good or bad is hard to say.
"Suzuka Gozen-sama...｀ ..."
Hai Ming pondered for a moment and said, "With the young master's strength, facing the demon king Shuten-dōji should not be a problem! However, if the demon king's power were to awaken, it would not be so easy for the young master to deal with him."
Suzuka Gozen shook her head and said, "I know, but! That's not the root of the problem. If Ōtakemaru can understand this in the battle, then he can reconnect with Mount Suzuka. The current Mount Suzuka is different for Ōtakemaru. So, we'll see what happens later."
"Yes!"
Hai Ming also bowed his head respectfully, indicating that he had cleared it.
the other side.
Ibaraki-dōji's eyes were sharp as he secretly pondered, "An opportunity, this is the best opportunity. If we can seize this opportunity, my best friend can recover. If my best friend can recover, then this will be a good thing for both Mount Ōe and Seimei!"
Ibaraki-dōji understood this very well. In fact, compared to Shuten-dōji's tyrannical personality, Ibaraki-dōji's personality was much clearer. He was very clear about the future of Wano Country.
As the number of demons in the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons increases, although everyone's status should be roughly the same, there is still a problem: even if their status is similar and they won't really kill each other, what about their relative status?
That's a problem, isn't it?
Therefore!
The strength of Mount Oe is very important, and the Sea Kingdom of Mount Suzuka has been restored. With Suzuka Gozen and Ōtakemaru as the leaders, along with Uminari, Kyūjīra, Kani-hime, Scorpion Woman, Bakeguji, Umi-nin, Kaze-tanuki, and 1300 other Sea Kingdom monsters, it seems to be the most powerful force at present.
Therefore, Mount Ooe needs to improve its overall strength. While the recovery of personnel requires further growth, the most important thing is to strengthen its overall power. First and foremost, the most important thing is that its best friend has recovered his strength.
after all!
Because of Seimei's existence, everyone abides by the rules, refraining from harming humans within Wano Country or taking any further action. All of this is perfectly harmonious. However, you must understand one thing: remember, while everyone can follow the rules, the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons is a place teeming with evil spirits and where the strong reign supreme. Orochi doesn't care about any of this, but what about the others? They need to work even harder to prevent any accidents from happening.
No matter the time, this is a very important matter! Therefore, if Shuten-dōji's memories can be restored through this battle, and he can be restored to the peak of that demon king, that would also be very important.
"Hmm~"
Both sides were keenly observing the battlefield and carefully assessing the situation, while also having their own thoughts on their own circumstances. Their considerations were very clear.
the other side!
Snapped!
Snapped!
Himiko, accompanied by Takiyasha-hime, walked step by step towards the battlefield in the distance. She pondered for a moment and said, "Shuten-dōji and Ōtakemaru, if they can become stronger in battle, it would be a good thing for Wano Country, but it would not be a good thing for us."
"Um!"
Takiyasha-hime nodded slightly. Her strength had an upper limit, reaching approximately level 893. It was almost impossible for her to advance further. Precisely because of this, if the two demon kings were to advance further, Mount Oe and Mount Suzuka would both be strengthened, which would not be a good thing for the City of the Sun.
but!
They wouldn't stop it, but would quietly watch the outcome unfold, because for them, improving Wano Country's strength was the most important thing!
"Hmm~"
On the other side, Minamoto no Yorimitsu was also watching the battle. After a moment's thought, he thought to himself, "If nothing unexpected happens, Shuten-dōji will recover his strength in this battle, and then it's Ōtakemaru's turn. However, in any case, these things are not urgent and there's no need to worry about them too much."
For Minamoto no Yorimitsu, he was actually very calm. He was not the same Minamoto no Yorimitsu. Even though he had inherited the memories, he was still himself, not the Minamoto no Yorimitsu who took it upon himself to kill all the demons.
His only purpose was to be loyal to his young lord. As for everything else, he didn't really care about it, or rather, he didn't care at all. This was Minamoto no Yorimitsu's personality. Because of this, Minamoto no Yorimitsu was just quietly watching the battlefield below. No matter what the outcome was, it wouldn't affect him in any way.
he!
(Wang Mahao) He is just a loyal blade in the young master's hand. He doesn't need to think too much. It is enough for him to follow the young master and kill all the enemies step by step. As for his only obsession? Well, it is probably Onikiri.
Maybe that's it...
same!
Just as the battle was about to begin, Princess Goldfish arrived. She and Kawamatsu watched the battlefield quietly. Kawamatsu asked curiously, "Teacher, who are all these people?"
"Demon King - Shuten-dōji!"
"Young Master of Suzuka Mountain, Otakemaru!"
Princess Goldfish said earnestly, "No matter what, they are all my enemies. In the future, I will definitely defeat them. I will become the Demon King of Arakawa, the most powerful Demon King, and let everyone know just how powerful Arakawa truly is!"
Princess Goldfish is very serious and very determined. This once cute, lively, and mischievous child is truly growing up step by step, and that is the most important thing. At the very least, for Princess Goldfish, she will never be the same as before. She will seriously and firmly uphold all her beliefs and tell everyone what her future will be like.
This is Princess Goldfish's belief; with such unwavering conviction, she will never give up!

The two figures collided instantly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The astonishing attack was unleashed when Shuten-dōji's arms were spread out like two sharp claws, instantly descending and wreathed in blood-red demonic energy, frantically striking Ōtakemaru. Ōtakemaru dared not be careless, his expression grave, and he quickly retreated. However, the next moment, after dodging the attack, he charged forward with his sword.
Crackling!
Their attacks were incredibly swift, like two afterimages. Their speed was so incredible that no one could perceive just how terrifying it was. However! One thing was certain: their incredible speed was accompanied by terrifying danger.
That's right!
These two individuals showed absolutely no mercy. For these two ghost kings, showing mercy was not only an insult to themselves but also an insult to each other. Even if they were to die here, they would not show any mercy or retreat an inch, because they were prepared and had absolute confidence that they would not be defeated.
"Hmm~"
Yaodao-hime observed the battlefield, frowned slightly, and said, "Lord Seimei, judging from the fight between Shuten-dōji and Ōtakemaru, they showed no mercy. If this continues, it probably won't be a good thing."
Seimei said very gently, "Don't worry, even if they die, they can still be resurrected. But for these two, death is not the end. They will not show any mercy, otherwise, their lives would be ruined."
As someone who clearly understood all of this, Seimei knew very well that no matter how it was described, would they show mercy to Shuten-dōji and Ōtakemaru, these two righteous demon kings?
Stop it!
That was absolutely impossible. 643 could do anything, but they would show no mercy. That would be the greatest insult to oneself, and I don't know if it would be an insult to the opponent, but it would definitely be the greatest insult to oneself.
Show mercy?
00
Hehehe~~~
Therefore!
They would never do that, in fact! From the very beginning, they were prepared to fight to the death. They would crush and kill their opponents, but they would show no mercy. That was their confident attitude.
Crackling!
Crackling!
The two fought faster and faster, their sharp claws and longswords flashing rapidly, unleashing a burst of demonic energy. At this moment, their expressions were almost frenzied, their terrifying power sending chills down one's spine. Their terrifying attacks seemed to devour everything, and nothing could stop their onslaught.
boom! ! !
Suddenly, a pillar of energy burst forth, and the two figures were quickly pushed back and separated. However, after a slight shake of their hands, they exchanged a glance and rushed towards each other again at an extremely fast speed.
Snapped!
Snapped!
The ground shattered instantly, and as the two charged toward each other, a powerful offensive erupted.
"Madness!"
