"That is..."
"It's Lord Mingye!"
"Lord Mingye is finally here!"
The Dog Demons of Dog Castle stopped charging forward, their anxious, worried expressions instantly turning into excited smiles.
That tall, imposing figure was like a light in the midst of despair, bringing hope to every demon in Dog Castle.
Sesshomaru's eyes flickered as well. He was surprised that Mingye had appeared at this moment, never expecting Mingye to save him at a time like this.
"You're Mingye, leader of the Demon Wolf Tribe?" Fūyō's indifferent gaze shifted slightly as he asked coldly.
A trace of surprise stirred within him as well. Although that punch had not carried his full strength, the man before him had caught it effortlessly.
The man's body had not even trembled. His palm remained steady, as though the force of that punch had fallen into an abyss and vanished.
But upon hearing the Dog Demons' cheers, Fūyō realized who the man who had suddenly appeared before him was: the overlord of the Western Country, leader of the Wolf Tribe, Mingye.
This was a powerful man, one he had heard of.
But if Mingye thought his status as overlord alone could frighten Fūyō away, that was impossible!
"You're standing in my way? Then I'll kill you too!"
Fūyō spoke calmly, brimming with absolute confidence. His aura abruptly changed, like a divine White Tiger opening its eyes and pouncing on its prey!
He drew his left hand into a fist, his flesh radiating white light as Demon Power gathered and compressed within the punch he hurled at Mingye.
Mingye remained composed, a hint of mockery in his eyes. He extended his left hand lightly, as though caressing a gentle breeze beneath the moon, yet also as though stirring the very space around them and making it unbearably heavy.
