Chapter-151
"What did you say? Zen'in Kiyoshi brought this year's college freshmen here? And he's with Tsukumo Yuki and that good-for-nothing Fushiguro Tōji?"
As a slightly surprised voice rang out from inside Zen'in Ogi's room, he looked at his subordinate who was reporting back to him, and his expression instantly became serious.
Things aren't going as planned?!
According to the previously planned strategy, Zen'in Kiyoshi should have been identified as the murderer by the Jujutsu High by now. Why would he suddenly bring a large group of college freshmen towards us?
And why is that woman, Tsukumo Yuki, also among them?
What exactly is their plan?
And that strange woman, who exactly is she, and why is she able to get that guy from the Kamo family to act with her?
What secrets are still hidden within these three families?
What exactly are the Jujutsu Highs thinking?
Have I been living in a false deception all along?
Thinking of this, Zen'in Ogi felt extremely agitated.
Seemingly sensing Zen'in Ogi's irritation, the woman with two children not far away shrank back slightly, hiding the strollers behind her.
She knew her husband better than anyone else. Ever since their two daughters were found to have no talent, her husband seemed to have become a different person, blaming all his own setbacks on his two daughters.
Whether it's a major event like failing to win the election for the position of family head, or a minor matter like making a mistake in the cultivation of Jujutsu, he would always blame his two daughters and himself for any setbacks in life.
His most frequently uttered phrase is:
"If I, a person with such talent and ability, hadn't married a good-for-nothing like you, I wouldn't have given birth to these two useless things. If you weren't dragging me down, none of those unpleasant things would have happened!"
He would say the same things every time, and if he was still not satisfied after saying them, he would be subjected to physical torture.

She instinctively covered her arm, where there were bruises and bloodstains from being whipped with a wooden knife.
Seeing his wife's timid and hesitant demeanor, Zen'in Ogi became even more furious.
No wonder such a useless woman tarnished her excellent bloodline and genes, giving birth to two utterly worthless children.
His anger surged even higher. He took a deep breath, forcibly calming himself, and then said to the subordinate who was still kneeling before him:
"Go and inform the [Hei], and then have Zen'in Jinichi come over. Tell him I have something important to discuss with him. Also, tell the [Kukuru] to take immediate action. Zen'in Nobuaki, that guy, wasn't he just recently promoted to that position by me?"
(The Hei was the Zen'in Family's sorcerer combat force consisting entirely of Semi-Grade 1 sorcerers, with a total of nine members, though only three appeared in the Canon.)
(The Kukuru squad consists of adult males from the Zen'in family who lack the talent of sorcerers. They practice martial arts day and night and use Cursed Tools to assist in combat.)
Tell him that now is the time for him to prove his worth, and if he fails to do so, then his position and his life will no longer belong to him!
Upon hearing Zen'in Ogi's words, the subordinate showed a look of astonishment. He subconsciously said to Zen'in Ogi:
"My lord, there are a total of nine people in the [Hei] group. Five are currently on missions outside, and the remaining one went to Okinawa with the Head Zen'in Naobito. And isn't it a bit overstepping our bounds to directly call them up..."
Furthermore, the [Kukuru] currently has 47 members. Aside from two who are on leave due to family matters, they are all engaged in combat matches in the training room. This time, it's for…"
However, before the subordinate could finish speaking, a sharp pain shot through his shoulder, accompanied by a large spurt of blood. He looked at his arm, which had been completely severed, and couldn't help but let out a scream.
But the instant the scream rang out, he immediately covered his mouth tightly and slammed his head hard against the ground.
With a small dent punched into the wooden floor, he then turned to the person in front of him, sweating profusely, and said:
"I am so sorry, I spoke too much!"
Zen'in Ogi wiped the bloodstains from the long sword in his hand, the blood belonging to his innate technique, "Blazing Courage," which was slowly burning on the blade's edge.
He looked at his subordinate kneeling on the ground, his voice cold and ruthless:
"This is the first warning. I used the technique to cut off your arm while using the high temperature of the flames to stop the bleeding. If there is a next time, the flames will not stop the bleeding, but will burn you to ashes."
What are the basic principles of being a subordinate? Have you already forgotten them?
The subordinate was in so much pain he was about to faint. Covered in sweat, he knelt on the ground, his body trembling, and he spoke in broken, intermittent voices:
"Your subordinate has not forgotten, and will obey all your orders, even at the cost of death!"
"Now let me see your loyalty."
"yes!"
As Zen'in Ogi finished speaking, the subordinate whose arm had just been severed respectfully withdrew.
The severed arm that remained on the ground, while Zen'in Ogi was feeling annoyed, stomped on it and crushed it to pieces.
Blood splattered throughout the room, and Zen'in Jinichi's voice slowly drifted over from nearby:
"Why did those people from the Jujutsu High come here? I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation for this."
Unlike his younger brother Ogi, who has a somewhat "refined" pretty-boy appearance, Zen'in Jinichi looks more rugged.
He had a thick, unkempt beard, long hair, and his kimono was not properly worn, with half of his chest exposed, making him look like a wild man.
Although he looks somewhat slovenly, this guy is indeed one of the top sorcerers in the entire Zen'in family, apart from Zen'in Naobito.
Although his Cursed Technique requires charging up, once activated, it can basically destroy a small building in an instant.
It's a very powerful helper.
Given that the other party's seniority and status within the Zen'in family were not low, Zen'in Ogi was somewhat wary of Zen'in Jinichi.
"The matter is very simple. That brat Zen'in Kiyoshi, together with Tsukumo Yuki, killed several ordinary people and shifted the blame onto us. I suspect that Zen'in Naobito was the one who instructed these actions."
The goal was simple: to leverage the influence of the Zen'in Family and the Jujutsu High to forcibly launch a purge within the family.
Chapter-152
Upon hearing Zen'in Ogi's words, a look of astonishment crossed his face. He stroked his stubble-covered chin and said solemnly:
"Do you know what you're saying? If this is true, then the position of head of the Zen'in Naobito family will definitely be replaced."
Killing ordinary people, colluding with external forces, using external forces to purge internal family conflicts, and framing core elders—if these things are discovered, it won't just be Zen'in Naobito who will suffer.
Even his entire lineage would be nailed to the pillar of shame of the Zen'in family.
[Hei] will all return and punish and deal with the disqualified family head. At the same time, [Kukuru] will also hunt down the lineage of the disqualified family head.
This is a very serious matter, and you'd better not hide anything from me, otherwise, if it's discovered that you've lied, you'll be the one who suffers the consequences.
I won't show you any mercy; it's my duty as the captain of the [Hei] unit.
Hearing Zen'in Jinichi's threatening words, Zen'in Ogi's face revealed a mocking smile.
He looked at Zen'in Jinichi and said calmly:
"What if I told you that your younger brother, Fushiguro Tōji, who was recently expelled from the family, also came with Zen'in Kiyoshi this time?"
Upon hearing that familiar name, Zen'in Jinichi's expression instantly betrayed an undisguised unease.
His voice lowered slightly, his fist clenched slightly, and as he looked at Zen'in Ogi in front of him, his tone became slightly unfriendly:
"He's nothing more than a piece of trash who's been expelled from the family. I won't have any other feelings about his existence. I'll just do everything according to the family rules."
Hearing this, Zen'in Ogi slightly raised his head, looked at Zen'in Jinichi in front of him, and said with a hint of sarcasm:
"When did the name Zen'in Tōji become so insignificant to you?"
You can fool everyone else, but you can't fool me.
Jinichi, I think sometimes we have to admit certain things, don't you think?
Zen'in Jinichi's forehead veins bulged slightly as he stared at Zen'in Ogi before him, a slightly chilling aura emanating from his tall frame.
What do you think we should acknowledge?
As he said this, Zen'in Jinichi took two steps forward, his tall figure, which was just like Tōji's, now almost completely shrouded Zen'in Ogi in shadow.
Despite the man's threatening methods, Zen'in Ogi remained completely unfazed, calmly stating:
"Admitting that we are indeed inferior to Fushiguro Tōji, do you really think that using so-called 'sorcerer's pride' to save face is something we should be proud of or even glad about?"
You should know that although Tōji doesn't have any Cursed Energy at all, that guy's strength was already shown when he was thrown into the Cursed Spirit Pit as a child, wasn't it?
Don't tell me you've forgotten the eyes that Zen'in Tōji looked at when he stood atop the pile of Cursed Spirit corpses.
In his eyes, we are no different from those Cursed Spirits he killed at his feet!
With so many Cursed Spirits, even you now, let alone the you of back then, probably couldn't do what Tōji did back then, right?
As he said this, Zen'in Ogi took two steps forward, his voice growing increasingly hoarse, as if he had returned to that scene from years ago.
"Fushiguro Tōji is a complete monster, and you and I, who witnessed those things back then, know this better than anyone else."
If that guy wanted to, he could kill all of us, including us.
And yet, this is the very person you're using to mock and suppress him with your so-called "talent." Don't you really feel panicked inside?!
Hearing Zen'in Ogi's words, Zen'in Jinichi's expression had become extremely gloomy. His voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat, each syllable trembling with excessive anger.
"Have you said enough?!"
"No! Until you're truly willing to face the distance between the two of us and that Tōji guy, I won't say enough!"
Jinichi, you and I are the same, from childhood to adulthood you have been called geniuses and elites!
Compared to Zen'in Naobito, and you compared to Zen'in Tōji, we are fundamentally more outstanding and hardworking than those two guys!
But for various reasons, you and I both lost to the person we least should have lost to!
I have lost the competition for the position of head of the family, and you have lost the martial arts battle between Zen'in Tōji!
Are you really willing to let go of these things?
Stop joking! Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?! For both of us, only by killing our destined enemy can we find peace of mind and body, isn't that right?!
This is your chance!
Zen'in Naobito colluded with external forces to frame core members of his family. Fushiguro Tōji even led the way for these external forces and attacked the Zen'in family that raised him. We are now on the side of justice!
We are now on the side contributing and striving to save the Zen'in family!
In front of everyone, you must cut off Tōji's head and tell everyone that Tōji is a piece of trash, and that has never changed.
And I will take control of the Zen'in family later and publicly behead Zen'in Naobito!
The future belongs to you and me, not to those two.
This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will only come once!
Looking at the red-eyed Zen'in Ogi, whose words were filled with resentment and hatred, Zen'in Jinichi's face darkened. He didn't speak, but he knew that Zen'in Ogi was right. This opportunity might be the only one he would ever have in his life.
He needed to prove himself, to show those clansmen who outwardly looked down on Tōji but inwardly feared him that he was better than that good-for-nothing!
It may seem that the other person lives in your shadow, but in reality, it is always you who is desperately trying to catch up with him!
Why are you born with a body that completely overwhelms me, without having to do anything, and able to easily defeat me in countless battles?!
And yet, why are you still a useless person without any Cursed Energy?!
Do you know how painful it was to be defeated by trash?!
But now all of that is over, Zen'in Tōji. I will kill you here and end all traces of you in this world.
Chapter-153
When Zen'in Kiyoshi and the others were about two kilometers away from the main gate of the Zen'in family's residence, they encountered an unexpected figure.
"Hey! If this is all the people you've brought, I advise you not to go."
Zen'in Naoya's face was covered in fine beads of sweat, and his complexion was slightly flushed. Coupled with his somewhat rapid breathing, it was clear that he had run all the way here.
Looking at Zen'in Naoya, whom he had only met once before, Zen'in Kiyoshi had already guessed somewhat why the other had come. But to make sure his guess was correct, he looked at Zen'in Naoya and asked with a hint of curiosity:
"You must be Zen'in Naoya, right? We've met once before. What did you mean by what you just said?"
Seeing that Zen'in Kiyoshi could say his name, Zen'in Naoya was slightly surprised, but he didn't say anything, only waved his hand:
"I never remember weaklings. I have no recollection of you or me. As for what I just said, the reason is simple: I don't want you to go to the Zen'in family."
Zen'in Ogi and Zen'in Jinichi have already gathered all the combat members of the [Hei] unit and the [Kukuru] unit. Although you haven't stayed at the Zen'in family for very long, I think you should know what these two things represent.
Whether you die or not is none of my business. I simply don't want my grandfather to lose his position as head of the family because of your problems.
If that were to happen, it would be very troubling for me.
I initially thought you might bring some special guys with you, but with the people around you, there's no way you could subdue those two.
Upon hearing this, Tsukumo Yuki smiled faintly. She looked at Zen'in Naoya, her voice tinged with excitement:
"You just mentioned two guys? Do you mean that the direct perpetrators of this murder are two people from your Zen'in family?"
"If you think that this level of intelligence is enough for me to explain things to you, then I can only conclude that Zen'in Kiyoshi is doomed to die this time. After all, not only is he not strong, but he's also not very bright."
Zen'in Naoya remained as arrogant as ever, but when he looked at Fushiguro Tōji, a hint of fear and longing would involuntarily appear on his face.
Looking at Zen'in Kiyoshi, who was standing next to Tōji, a hint of jealousy flashed in Zen'in Naoya's eyes.
"Only I can stand next to that man; I will absolutely not allow anyone else to take that position!"
Ever since Naoya accidentally saw Tōji a year ago, he has developed an almost psychological dependence and fear of Tōji's indifferent eyes, which seem like those of a god.
He longed to communicate with such a powerful and arrogant person as Tōji, and to engage in battle with him time and time again.
I long to stand beside such a strong person.
It is precisely this point that sustains Zen'in Naoya's insane training.
Tsukumo Yuki wasn't angry at Zen'in Naoya's answer. Before Zen'in Naoya could react, she simply grabbed him by the back of the neck and lifted him up.
"What an arrogant brat! But never mind, since you were just trying to help us, I won't bother with a brat like you."
By the way, Kiyoshi, regarding what he just mentioned about Zen'in Ogi and Zen'in Jinichi, do you think they might be the real murderers?
Zen'in Naoya felt the power coming from behind him, and his expression was slightly stunned.
When did this happen?
Why was he suddenly brought up?
"Perhaps it is them, but not necessarily. We will have to wait until we actually meet them before we can make a decision."
Zen'in Kiyoshi's voice came, pulling Zen'in Naoya, who was still in a daze, back to reality.
He began to struggle violently, his Cursed Energy surging, and the Cursed Technique was activated. The same Projection Sorcery as Zen'in Naobito was now attempting to envelop Tsukumo Yuki within it.
However, compared to Tsukumo Yuki, Zen'in Naoya's level of Cursed Energy was completely insignificant.
She didn't even bother to use her magic to resist; instead, she simply shook Zen'in Naoya's body twice, thus breaking the activation of his spell.
"Kid, be more polite next time you meet someone. Not everyone is as easy to talk to as me. If you had run into those bad-tempered guys, you would be dead by now."
Also, regardless, thank you for the reminder. In return, I will protect you along with me in the battle three seconds from now.
Listening to Tsukumo Yuki's words, Zen'in Naoya, whose face was still slightly dizzy from being shaken, now showed a look of confusion:
"Huh?! What do you mean, a battle in three seconds? I don't understand what you're talking about..."
Before Zen'in Naoya could finish speaking, Mei Mei, who was following behind Kiyoshi, exclaimed in surprise:
"Watch out! Attacks are coming from the six o'clock and ten o'clock directions, from the sky!"
The moment the voice of the mysterious figure fell, countless enormous fist shadows fell from the sky. These fist shadows were transparent and extremely difficult to spot, but the Cursed Energy contained within them was enough to send chills down one's spine.
If you were attacked by that thing, your body would be smashed into mincemeat in an instant!
At the same time, at the six o'clock position, the loose and ordinary sand and gravel instantly transformed into a pair of giant hands, which swept fiercely towards the group.
At the ten o'clock position, what greeted everyone was an extremely hot crescent-shaped flame.
The flames contained a sharp, deadly intent capable of tearing a person to pieces.
The three attacks arrived almost simultaneously, giving everyone absolutely no chance to escape.
Looking at the attacks, Getō Suguru did not hesitate at all; his voice was steady but also revealed a hint of urgency:
"Cursed Spirit Manipulation! Grade 2 Imaginary Spirit - Kuchisake-Onna!" (Note: using a generic powerful spirit placeholder based on earlier context unless specified as Immovable Monk) Correction: Text says Immovable Monk. "Grade 2 Imaginary Spirit - Fudō Myō-ō!"
As a slightly eerie wooden fish sound rang out, an old man with a withered face and wearing a white and red monk's robe suddenly appeared beside Getō Suguru.
The old man grinned as he recited Buddhist scriptures that sounded extremely unsettling. As the chanting began, a faint protective shield of incantation enveloped everyone present.
Zen'in Kiyoshi sensed the protective shield slightly and estimated it to be around the mid-level of the Grade 2, but it was still somewhat insufficient against the attacks of three near-Grade 1 sorcerers.
Unsurprisingly, the protective shield shattered before it could even last a single breath.
Chapter-154
But in that short span of time, everyone who was attacked was able to retaliate.
Apart from Ieiri Shōko and Kento Nanami, who were completely powerless, everyone else displayed their skills at this moment.
The Iori Utahime took a deep breath, stepped forward, and began to dance with an extremely natural and beautiful posture.
As a unique Cursed Energy surged from the Iori Utahime, everyone present could clearly feel that their own Cursed Energy was more active and excited than before.
Gojō Satoru stared at the semi-circular fiery slash, a look of madness appearing on his youthful face.
At that moment, her bright eyes shifted slightly, emitting an extremely dazzling azure light.
This was his first real life-or-death battle, and the feeling was on a completely different level compared to the sparring and trials within the family!
This is so exciting!
Looking at Gojō Satoru who rushed out, Getō Suguru's face showed a worried expression. As someone who had just directly taken three attacks, he naturally knew just how terrifying the power contained in those attacks was.
Won't there be any problems if Gojō Satoru directly crashes into it with his bare body?
Meanwhile, on the other side, Tsukumo Yuki looked at the giant sand and stone hand attacking from behind, a smile appearing on her delicate face.
She slowly raised her arm, even yawning in the process, and then her fists, hundreds of times larger than each other, collided violently.
Zen'in Naoya stared at this scene with a look of astonishment on his face, then shouted:
AmazonMineral Sunscreen I SPF 80 PA++++
"Hey! Have you gone mad, woman?! Why didn't you dodge that attack?! Damn it! You'd be a bloody pulp by now. I knew women couldn't be trusted!"
However, apart from Zen'in Naoya, no one paid any attention to Tsukumo Yuki's side.
As the only top-tier sorcerer in the world of Jujutsu at present, her battles, frankly, are not worth paying any attention to.
In any case, it was a foregone conclusion that they would win.
Meanwhile, at the Zen'in temple, standing behind him, gazing intently at the attacks overhead, a hint of apprehension flickered in her eyes. She raised her arm, and the flock of crows not far from the forest stirred, streams of Cursed Energy rapidly gathering from their bodies.
Just as Mei Mei was about to command the crows to fly upwards, Zen'in Kiyoshi grabbed Mei Mei's arm.
Just as Mei Mei was still somewhat puzzled, Kiyoshi's voice came explaining:
"I heard from the Iori Utahime that raising a crow actually takes a lot of effort and energy, and it also costs a lot of money. I can handle that level of attack."
After saying this, Kiyoshi did not wait for Mei Mei's reply. He simply raised his hand slightly, and an unsettling aura emanated from him.
Since Sukuna used Zen'in Kiyoshi's body to fight the Jōgo last time, I wonder if it's because Zen'in Kiyoshi's body is very special.
The Cursed Technique, which originally required three or four attempts to be imprinted on the body, was actually learned by Zen'in Kiyoshi after just one time, allowing him to master both of the Malevolent Shrine's slashing techniques.
These are "Cleave," a basic but high-frequency ordinary slash with extremely fast attack speed and high density, and "Dismantle," a single heavy strike whose power dynamically adjusts according to the target's Cursed Energy.
Although Zen'in Kiyoshi doesn't yet know how to expand to higher difficulty levels or use "Divine Flame," these two abilities alone are enough to compensate for his current lack of ranged attack methods.
As invisible slashes emerged from behind Kiyoshi, they almost instantly enveloped the densely packed fist shadows falling from the sky.
With a series of "whoosh" sounds, the slash that had covered the entire sky was completely wiped out at this moment.
Even after the attacks were neutralized, those invisible slashes continued to fly into the distance, shredding the clouds into dust.
Kiyoshi looked at the attack that was somewhat beyond his expectations and the extremely low consumption of his Cursed Energy, and felt a sense of emotion.
I remember seeing this kind of talk on forums and online communities before I traveled through time.
"Sukuna's Cursed Technique is not strong; an ordinary person could only cut pork."
Before having experienced the Sukuna ritual in person, Zen'in Kiyoshi may still have some uncertainties about it.
However, after experiencing it firsthand, Kiyoshi only wants to say that, given Sukuna's innate ability to convert Cursed Energy attack power into a superb level, anyone would be guaranteed to be at least top-tier.
It is no exaggeration to say that Sukuna's attack multiplier is basically above 1700%.
This exaggerated attack multiplier, combined with Sukuna's already terrifying total amount of Cursed Energy, is the key to his becoming the King of Curses!
Indeed, being born with Cursed Techniques is an innate mechanism.
However, this was clearly not the time for sentimentality. After the three attacks were eliminated, Zen'in Kiyoshi saw the attacker with a cold expression on his face.
Zen'in Ogi, Zen'in Jinichi, Jutarō, and several somewhat unfamiliar faces, along with a special combat unit called "Kukuru" that doesn't possess much Cursed Energy but wields Cursed Tools.
Zen'in Ogi, looking at the High School team that hadn't lost a single person, showed a slightly dissatisfied expression. He glanced at Zen'in Jinichi beside him, his tone tinged with reproach:
"Didn't you promise me that this attack would definitely reduce their numbers? Why haven't we seen a single seriously injured person, let alone any casualties?"
Zen'in Jinichi snorted coldly at this, then fixed his gaze on Tsukumo Yuki and said:
"If it weren't for Tsukumo Yuki, currently the only Special Grade in the world of Jujutsu, intervening, at least two of them would have died!"
Hearing this, Zen'in Ogi didn't say anything more. After all, he knew how valuable the title "Special Grade" was.
Tsukumo Yuki stared at the two who were talking to themselves, a displeased look on her face:
"Is this the Zen'in family's doing, or your doing, to launch an unauthorized attack on the special forces dispatched by the Director of the Jujutsu Department?"
Hearing what Tsukumo Yuki said, Zen'in Ogi frowned, then said softly:
"I didn't see any special forces from the Department of Jujutsu here, only villains trying to break into the Zen'in family to commit violence. As for whose intention it was? Your breaking into the Zen'in family was naturally the Zen'in family's intention."
Upon hearing this, a slightly angry expression appeared on Zen'in Naoya's face:
"Hey! This isn't what my old man meant!"
Chapter-155
As Zen'in Naoya's voice rang out, everyone's eyes turned to him.
Zen'in Naoya felt no fear or tension at the gazes that were all focused on him.
On the contrary, he quite enjoyed it.
For him, everyone in the world should revolve around him.
"You two bastards, I told the old man a long time ago that after he became the head of the family, he would kill you two good-for-nothings. But unfortunately, the old man is also an idiot and actually let you live!"
If I hadn't seen your bastard subordinate sneak out the back door, I probably wouldn't have discovered your plan!
"You're pathetic; you want to seize the position of family head by slandering the old man and those people from the college."
Hearing Zen'in Naoya's words, Tsukumo Yuki raised an eyebrow slightly, then said:
"It seems we can skip the interrogation process altogether. Zen'in Ogi, don't you have anything to say about Zen'in Naoya?"
Zen'in Ogi's somewhat cold and hard face remained expressionless. He simply looked at Zen'in Naoya and then said softly:
"Zen'in Naoya, like his father, colluded with traitors from the High School, attempting to offer up the Zen'in family business as a resource for their own advancement."
As a core member of the Zen'in family, I absolutely cannot allow such a thing to happen. Therefore, I hereby order the complete extermination of Zen'in Naoya and his father's entire lineage as a warning to others.
Having said that, he had no intention of continuing the negotiations with these people from the college.
Since Zen'in Naoya has already said everything, there is no point in continuing to try to persuade him.
If we can wipe out all these people from the Jujutsu High here, then when the director of the Jujutsu department and the others are faced with a pile of corpses and a new Zen'in family, they will make the right choice.
Several blazing flames swept through the air. The life-giving technique of [Blazing Courage] could cover the already fierce slashes of Zen'in Ogi with a temperature that was enough to burn a person's bones to ashes.
Under those fiery strikes, the surrounding space seemed to distort due to the high temperature.
Watching this scene, Gojō Satoru yawned slightly. He slowly walked towards the direction from which Zen'in Ogi had attacked, his tone even carrying a hint of drowsiness:
"Hey, you! Didn't I already block that attack? Why are you using such a useless attack again? Are you looking down on me?"
Zen'in Ogi was unconcerned about Gojō Satoru's provocation. He did not believe that Gojō Satoru had blocked the attack with his own strength.
He naturally knew about Gojō Satoru, and he also knew how dazzling Gojō Satoru's future would be.
But that's all in the distant future. Right now, Gojō Satoru is just a brat. How could such a brat possibly block my fiery slash that covers my [Blazing Courage]?!
It's just some kind of defensive Cursed Tool that the Gojō family gave to this brat causing trouble!
You bluffing brat, watch me cleave you in two right here and now, completely extinguishing the Gojō family's hopes of rising to power.
There is no need for any Big Three Families in this world. One Zen'in family, one Zen'in family under one's own rule, is enough!
Thinking of this, Zen'in Ogi brandished his long sword with even greater ferocity, as if he wouldn't stop until he had cleaved Gojō Satoru into pieces.
To this, Gojō Satoru looked puzzled. Did this guy not understand what he was saying?
An attack of this magnitude wouldn't even cause the slightest ripple for someone with Limitless.
Is he deaf?
However, just as Gojō Satoru was somewhat confused, Zen'in Kiyoshi appeared in front of him without him noticing, and then whispered to him:
"Gojō-kun, if possible, please leave this place to me. If possible, I would like to use him as a stepping stone for the future management of the Zen'in family."
Gojō Satoru agreed to Kiyoshi's request without any hesitation.
He only likes to fight opponents of equal strength. Fighting an enemy of Zen'in Ogi's level would be a disservice to his own, and Gojō Satoru has no interest in toying with the weak.
Seeing that Gojō Satoru hadn't come over, Zen'in Ogi was even more convinced that the other party had just been bluffing.
As Zen'in Kiyoshi walked towards him in place of Gojō Satoru, he swung his long sword, which was imbued with the "Blazing Courage" mark, more and more fiercely. His hatred for Zen'in Kiyoshi far exceeded that for Gojō Satoru.
If it weren't for that meddlesome brat who hindered my plans, how could I have been caught by Zen'in Naobito, and how could I have been restrained and hindered by him in various subsequent matters!
It's all because of this damned brat in front of me!
Go to hell!
Looking at the fierce-looking Zen'in Ogi with eyes full of cold killing intent, Zen'in Kiyoshi simply raised his arm and then slowly extended his palm.
The next moment, before anyone could react, with a loud "boom," Zen'in Ogi's face was slammed into the ground by Zen'in Kiyoshi.
The bluestone ground was smashed to pieces. Zen'in Ogi's body twitched slightly. His proud long sword fell neatly to the ground. The blade collided with the ground, making a few crisp sounds, and then there was no more movement.
As the battle between Zen'in Kiyoshi and Zen'in Ogi came to an end, everyone on the field fell into a deathly silence.
Fast! Too fast!
Even Tsukumo Yuki, who knew Zen'in Kiyoshi's strength best, felt that the battle had ended too hastily.
Is Zen'in Ogi really that weak? Or has Zen'in Kiyoshi secretly become stronger without anyone knowing?
Even if Zen'in Ogi is weak, it was still personally measured by the Director of the Jujutsu Department, making it comparable to a Semi-Grade 1 spellcaster!
Despite being a near-Grade 1 sorcerer who struck first and was fully focused, Zen'in Kiyoshi struck back and instantly killed him.
Doesn't that mean Zen'in Kiyoshi has truly reached a top-tier level now?!
But how long has it been since Zen'in Kiyoshi was attacked by a Grade 3 Cursed Spirit and almost died?
This rate of growth is simply too exaggerated.
The rest of the students from the higher education program, who had no direct experience of Zen'in Academy's strength, were completely stunned by what they saw.
Are you kidding me?
That's a near-Grade 1 sorcerer!
He was instantly killed just like that?!
Is this guy really a freshman like us?!
Are you kidding me?
Zen'in Naoya was stunned. He looked at Zen'in Kiyoshi, then at Zen'in Jinichi who was standing calmly not far away. In a daze, he felt that the two of them had somehow ended up standing side by side.
Chapter-156
What's wrong with this guy?!
So...so beautiful!
Such a powerful stance, such overwhelming force, such... such a beautiful stance!
Zen'in Naoya looked at Zen'in Kiyoshi, who was only a few years older than him, and his heart began to beat faster involuntarily.
This perfect posture, this posture that makes one almost want to devote oneself entirely to it, is truly irresistible.
He had to admit that Kiyoshi's swift and deadly display at that moment evoked a unique feeling in him.
It was a feeling similar to the one he had for the Zen'in temple, a feeling called "longing".
However, no one was paying attention to Zen'in Naoya's thoughts at the moment; everyone's attention was focused on Zen'in Kiyoshi.
As the smoke and dust dissipated slightly, Zen'in Kiyoshi looked at the blood flowing from his hand. It was thick and somewhat greasy, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
But none of that matters; Zen'in Ogi's body is currently twitching on the ground.
Before Zen'in Kiyoshi slammed his head into the ground, the guy instinctively covered his entire face with his Cursed Energy, thus avoiding having his head crushed by Zen'in Kiyoshi.
Even so, he was still crushed to the ground by Zen'in Kiyoshi's sudden burst of power.
The combination of Projection Sorcery and Star Rage, along with the gravitational pull of Heavenly Restriction and Limitless, creates a burst of power that, for a short period of time, is completely at the Special Grade level.
This power would naturally be overwhelming when it were used against a Semi-Grade 1 sorcerer.
The rest of the Zen'in family, who had originally intended to attack Zen'in Kiyoshi, were now frozen in place.
The weapons in their hands began to fall unconsciously. They were not idiots, and they knew just how powerful the opponent was who could instantly shatter Zen'in Ogi.
[Hei] An elderly bald man in the army, watching the horrifying scene, wore an expression of utter disbelief on his wrinkled face:
"This, how is this possible?! That's Lord Ogi!"
Hearing the other person's terrified murmurs, Zen'in Kiyoshi didn't even show any expression. He looked at Zen'in Ogi lying on the ground as if he were just throwing away trash, and tossed aside his still convulsing body.
"In order to seize the position of family head, Zen'in Ogi wantonly killed ordinary people and tried to frame Zen'in Naobito, the family head, and Zen'in Kiyoshi and other family members. After being discovered by the director of the Jujutsu department, he became even more insane and tried to kill the special forces to silence them."
AmazonMineral Sunscreen I SPF 80 PA++++
Therefore, after considering various factors, Zen'in Ogi was sentenced to death here.
Kiyoshi's voice was devoid of much emotion, as if killing a high-ranking elder of one of the Big Three Families was no different from killing a pheasant.
Zen'in Jinichi looked at Zen'in Ogi's corpse that had been carelessly tossed back and subconsciously swallowed.
This isn't what Zen'in Ogi was supposed to do!
Wasn't it said that only Tsukumo Yuki and Zen'in Jinichi were in danger among the people who came from the other side?
Didn't they say that any of the remaining guys could easily wipe out those brats by sending out just one of Hei's men?
How come the strongest fighter besides myself was crushed like an insect by a mere brat?!
Seeing this scene, Zen'in Jinichi admitted that his heart was beginning to waver.
He subconsciously looked at Kiyoshi, and when his eyes met those almost emotionless eyes, an immense sense of fear rose within him.
My teeth were chattering, my arms were trembling, and my knees were starting to feel weak.
Zen'in Ogi's strength was not much different from his. If the other party could deal with Zen'in Ogi so easily, then similarly, the other party would not have to expend much effort to deal with him.
Fear, immense fear, instantly erupted in his heart. Zen'in Jinichi stared at the figure before him, hesitated for a moment, then dropped his weapon and fled backward.
Are you kidding me?!
I'm not an idiot!
The opponent is clearly stronger than us. If we continue fighting, we will be the ones who die!
I must return to the Zen'in temple as soon as possible. Once I arrive at the Zen'in temple, once I am in a place with many people, then these people will have to go through the proper procedures to judge me.
Moreover, he himself did not participate in this operation. It was all caused by that guy Zen'in Ogi. He just wanted to take the opportunity to kill Zen'in Ogi.
The mistake he made is not punishable by death, so it's okay, just leave here!
Seeing Zen'in Jinichi lay down his weapon and flee, both the Zen'in family members and the people from the High School were momentarily dumbfounded.
This guy really has no backbone at all.
Getō Suguru frowned slightly at this, looked at Zen'in Kiyoshi, and asked softly:
"Kiyoshi, should I bring that guy back?"
"No, there's no need to bring him back. Everyone else here can point the finger at Zen'in Jinichi. We need to formally arrest him at Zen'in's residence. After all, we have official permission from the Director of the Jujutsu Department. It's better to follow the proper procedures."
Hearing Kiyoshi's words, Getō Suguru nodded, while Gojō Satoru seemed a little bored. He yawned, glanced at the rest of the Kiyoshi family members who were beginning to show signs of defeat, and said with a disappointed expression:
"What about these guys? Are we letting them go too? I thought it would be an interesting thing, but it turned out to be such a boring operation."
Kiyoshi listened to Gojō Satoru's words and felt somewhat helpless. He hadn't expected Zen'in Ogi to be so weak.
Even though Zen'in Maki, a Semi-Grade 1 sorcerer who hadn't yet awakened her powers in the Canon, was no match for Zen'in Ogi in just a few moves.
How come when it came to our side, the other side couldn't even last a few breaths?
Was I too cautious before?
He shook his head, let out a soft breath, and then turned his gaze to the Zen'in family not far away.
"Those who want to live, I need you to make a Binding Vow with me. After agreeing to this agreement, you must point out everything you know about Zen'in Ogi's actions that violate the Zen'in family's and sorcerer's rules."
Naturally, those guys had no objection to Kiyoshi's suggestion and laid down their weapons, ready to do as Kiyoshi said.
But at that moment, Toji frowned and focused his gaze on the Zen'in Ogi that was still twitching.
There... there's an unsettling atmosphere there.
Chapter-157
"When you are defeated by Zen'in Kiyoshi and realize that you can never take revenge on your own, use this to kill yourself."
Recalling the words of the mysterious woman, Zen'in Ogi felt a numbness in his brain.
His thoughts were disconnected, and his memories seemed to have been shattered by that attack. He could hardly even remember who he was.
A tearing pain shot through my entire face, as if a basin of boiling water had been poured over it.
I can no longer tell where the pain is coming from.
Is it the pain from a broken tooth?
No, it feels like the pain of your face being rubbed raw by floor tiles.
AmazonMineral Sunscreen I SPF 80 PA++++
That's not quite accurate; it's more like the feeling of having your nasal bone shattered.
Zen'in Ogi was already somewhat indistinguishable; tears, blood, snot, saliva... all sorts of things were mixed together on his face at this moment.
The mysterious woman's voice kept echoing in my mind, and a huge sense of humiliation surged into my heart instantly!
He charged out with such confidence, but was instantly pinned to the ground by that brat, Zen'in Kiyoshi.
It wasn't just that his pride was ripped apart; more importantly, the self-respect he had upheld his entire life was crushed.
He lived so long, all for just two words.
face!
In the nights leading up to the election for family head, he believed he had won 100% of the election and had even called the rest of the family to celebrate!
But the very next day, Zen'in Naobito, who had always declared that he would not participate in the competition for the headship of the family, suddenly changed his mind and began to compete with him with all his might.
Zen'in Ogi originally thought that with his many years of operation and merit, even if Zen'in Naobito came, the position of head of the family should still belong to him.
But when the final results were announced, Zen'in Ogi realized what it felt like to lose all dignity.
He couldn't accept all of this. When the position of head of the family was officially announced to be inherited by Zen'in Naobito, everyone around him looked at him with pity and mockery!
No, there was no pity, only mockery!
He couldn't accept any of this, and refused to take the blame upon himself. He didn't think he had lost to Zen'in Naobito in any way!
Therefore, all the blame naturally fell on those two useless daughters.
He had finally managed to bury the humiliation he suffered that day deep in his heart, but today he suffered something even more unbearable than that humiliation.
In front of all his confidants and Zen'in Jinichi, he was defeated head-on by a brat and had his head slammed into the ground!
How could he possibly admit to something like this?
Die! ...
Zen'in Kiyoshi must die! Everyone at the Jujutsu High must die! Everyone who saw him lose control must die!
He won't let those guys who witnessed his ugliness live!
As long as these people die, even if it costs us our lives, it doesn't matter.
With all his might, Zen'in Ogi pressed a steel needle that the woman had installed in his heart back into his heart.
With a sharp, suffocating pain, Zen'in Ogi involuntarily choked himself.
It was as if the air had been sucked away; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get a single breath of air.
His consciousness gradually became hazy, and all around him were those guys looking at him with mocking eyes.
No, no, you are not allowed to look at me like that!
Go to hell, all of you!
The moment the human heart of Zen'in Ogi stopped beating, the core of the Cursed Spirit Zen'in Ogi's Cursed Energy began to spin!
The Zen'in monk was killed at the very spot where the monster was born.
A Special Grade Cursed Spirit named Zen'in Ogi was born at the very spot where Zen'in Ogi died.
As an extremely terrifying spell was unleashed, a member of the [Hei] who was about four or five meters behind the main force suddenly paused.
"Hey! Kid! Watch out!"
As Toji shouted, the body of the lagging member of the [Hei] exploded instantly.
No, rather than an explosion, it was more like being instantly smashed into a bloody mist by some enormous force!
An extremely strong stench of blood filled the air as the body exploded, once again casting a crimson hue over the once peaceful environment.
And this was just the beginning. One after another, the bodies of the [Hei] members exploded into blood mist without a sound.
When the fourth person died, Tsukumo Yuki, Zen'in Jinichi, and Gojō Satoru all attacked the same spot at the same time.
With a loud bang, thick smoke billowed away, and a twisted, nauseating figure slowly emerged from the center of the explosion.
That's Zen'in Ogi.
No, that wasn't Zen'in Ogi. To be precise, it was the manifestation of a Special Grade curse called "Zen'in Ogi," forged from Zen'in Ogi's lifelong obsession and overwhelming resentment before his death.
Under that terrifying fluctuation of the Cursed Spirit, everyone was able to see the guy's face clearly.
Zen'in Ogi's body had nearly doubled in size compared to before, resembling a bizarre corpse that had been forcibly inflated and then glued back together with inferior glue.
His skin was a sickly, blood-red color, covered with wounds from which thick, foul-smelling dark red blood slowly seeped and dripped, corroding small, sizzling pits in the ground.
But what's most impressive is the monster's head.
The face of Zen'in Ogi, which had been pressed deep into the ground by Zen'in Kiyoshi and was almost completely disfigured, was not healed at this moment because he had become a Cursed Spirit.
Instead, the wound on that face appeared as if it had been deliberately magnified countless times, making it exceptionally clear.
A nasal bone twisted beyond recognition, teeth almost completely shattered, and skin torn apart by bricks...
All of these things were twisted and fused together in a more ferocious manner, forming a "face" that seemed to be forcibly pieced together from countless fragments of pain, anger, and humiliation.
And beneath the tattered sleeves of Zen'in Ogi, one could still vaguely make out several blurry, pained, screaming faces on his body!
That was the image of all those who might have "witnessed" his humiliation, the image that Zen'in Ogi was obsessed with in his mind before his death.
He would never give up until he had killed all those who had witnessed his defeat!
Crimson flames clung to the blade he held in his hand; they were flames burning with pain and hatred.
At this moment, the "Blazing Courage" of the sorcerer Zen'in Ogi had dissipated.
Meanwhile, the "Scorched Blood Resentment" fan belonging to the Cursed Spirit Zen'in Ogi has already taken shape.
His figure, like a demon from hell, was now looking at the crowd. His mutilated face still faintly revealed a grinning expression.
Chapter-158
"Zen'in temple, Zen'in temple is peaceful!"
A hoarse, indistinct sound emanated from the monster's mouth, and a few drops of viscous blood fell from its oral cavity, sizzling on the ground.
The next moment, the Cursed Spirit transformed from Zen'in Ogi rushed towards Zen'in Kiyoshi at a speed that could cross the sound barrier.
Flames filled the air beneath its feet, leaving a dark red trail of fire in the sky.
The spirit formed by Zen'in Ogi uses flames as a propulsion device to greatly increase its speed.
As Toji watched the Cursed Spirit attacking Kiyoshi, a cold expression appeared on his face. Inventory Curse, which he had been keeping in his backpack, seemed to sense its master's intentions.
He suddenly used his head to push open the backpack zipper, and the next moment he spat out a bright red three-section staff.
Toji gripped the three-section staff and, without any hesitation, swung it directly towards the direction of Cursed Spirit Ogi.
When Playful Cloud was swung down by Toji's exaggerated arm strength, several sonic booms were generated.
As its tip touched the ground, the floor within a radius of several meters was shattered into pieces.
Cursed Spirit Ogi, which had been directly smashed into its body by Toji, was now lying on the ground, howling in agony, with large amounts of disgusting blood flowing down its body, like piles of rotting animal excrement.
"Hey! Kid, are you alright...?"
Toji glanced at the Cursed Spirit Ogi that he had directly smashed away, breathed a slight sigh of relief, and then looked at Zen'in Kiyoshi, about to ask if he was alright, when he only heard Zen'in Kiyoshi's warning voice:
"Crouch down!"
The moment he heard Zen'in Kiyoshi's clear voice, Toji didn't hesitate at all and immediately squatted down!
AmazonMineral Sunscreen I SPF 80 PA++++
The next moment, countless slashes flew from above his head, almost instantly cutting the forest not far behind him into pieces.
At the center of those fragments, the Cursed Spirit Ogi was rapidly repairing its own body.
About three or four meters behind Toji, a large area of black ground scorched by flames was still radiating scorching heat.
If it weren't for Kiyoshi's attack just now, Toji would probably have had to take that hit by himself right now.
Although this attack wasn't enough to kill me outright, being burned by something like this would at least keep me lying down for a while.
"Leave this guy to me. There's still a problem with the Zen'in family! You guys hurry over there!"
Hearing this, Tsukumo Yuki frowned. She glanced at the Zen'in fan, which had now been transformed into a Cursed Spirit, and said to Zen'in Kiyoshi:
"What we should do now is surround and attack this guy, then quickly eliminate him, and then go to the Zen'in Estate to deal with the rest of the situation. Leaving you here alone is the most dangerous thing to do!"
Zen'in Kiyoshi took a deep breath, his voice tinged with anxiety:
"It's too late! Orochi just told me that a Special Grade Cursed Spirit from the Heian period has appeared in the Cursed Spirit Pit inside the Zen'in family!"
Special Grade Cursed Spirit—[Sky Probe Girl]!
That thing is currently reviving in the Cursed Spirit Pit inside the Zen'in Temple. She told me that its characteristic is that after reviving, it will command the surrounding low-level Cursed Spirits, causing them to continuously kill living people and absorb more power.
The situation over there will be extremely chaotic, so the more people the better. I alone am enough here. I can't let the rest of the Zen'in family die in this turmoil, otherwise, no matter what the final outcome, we'll never be able to clear our names!
Upon hearing this, Tsukumo Yuki understood why Zen'in Kiyoshi had suddenly made such a risky decision.
She bit her lip, then addressed the crowd directly:
"Toji, Gojō! You two are the fastest, go to the Zen'in family first to protect the rest of the people. The rest of you come with me, split into two groups, and Zen'in Kiyoshi can handle things here alone!"
Don't hesitate, act now!
Upon hearing this, Toji gripped the Playful Cloud sword tightly in his hand. He looked at the Zen'in temple not far away, took a deep breath, and said:
"Kid, don't die! Otherwise I'll dig up your grave."
After saying that, Toji did not wait for Zen'in Kiyoshi's reply, but disappeared from the spot. When his figure reappeared, he was already at the edge of everyone's sight.
Gojō Satoru nodded to Kiyoshi, chuckled, and said:
"Someone of this caliber shouldn't pose much of a threat to you, right? See you later. A great Cursed Spirit from the Heian period—I've never seen one before! I wonder if it will give me some fun~"
As Gojō Satoru spoke, he quickly flew towards the direction of the Zen'in temple.
After the two left, Tsukumo Yuki did not give the others a chance to say goodbye to Kiyoshi, but urged everyone to immediately set off on the road to rescue the Zen'in family.
Although there was no farewell, Kiyoshi clearly saw the worry in the eyes of Getō Suguru, Mei Mei, Iori Utahime, and others.
Although the members of [Hei] and [Kukuru] weren't particularly strong, they were now desperately rushing towards the Zen'in family, thanks to Tsukumo Yuki's explanation.
There's still their whole family inside the Zen'in temple!
Driven by the power of family ties, even though they were running so fast they were on the verge of collapse, not a single person fell behind.
On the other side, Kiyoshi looked at Cursed Spirit Ogi that he had once again slashed into pieces, a solemn expression on his face.
After Zen'in Ogi became a Cursed Spirit, its strength increased, but overall it was only at the level of a Grade 1 Cursed Spirit, at most a level of a Dagon without the [Domain Expansion] ability.
Under the "Malevolent Shrine" technique, which is nearly twice as powerful as the Special Grade Cursed Spirit in Zen'in Temple, the Cursed Spirit Zen'in Ogi has almost no ability to resist and will be cut into pieces by itself.
However, no matter how many pieces he cut it into, the other party was always able to restore it to its original state after a short time, continuing to consume his Cursed Energy.
"Where is the core of the Cursed Energy? We can't find it?"
While repeatedly cutting through the body of the Cursed Spirit Ogi, Zen'in Kiyoshi was also constantly searching for its core of Cursed Energy.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard Kiyoshi searched, it seemed that there was no such thing as a core of Cursed Energy in the other person's body.
Even if you cut the opponent's entire body into pieces, the opponent can still continuously heal even without a core of Cursed Energy.
No, if this continues, even with twice the power of a top-tier spell, I won't be able to withstand the drain.
Since slashing can't eliminate this thing directly, let's try using the [Adaptive Power] provided by [Orochi].
CHapter-159
Logically speaking, Zen'in Kiyoshi should have continued using Sukuna's [Malevolent Shrine] at this point, since the air was already filled with fragments of Zen'in Kiyoshi's Cursed Energy.
Once he has achieved this, he can use the second stage of [Malevolent Shrine - Divine Flame] to burn it to ashes with extremely terrifying cursed flames.
Unfortunately, Sukuna's technique was not imprinted on Kiyoshi's body, so he cannot use this move at the moment.
Meanwhile, in his Innate Domain, Orochi was looking at Sukuna with a displeased expression, and Sukuna was glaring back at him just as rudely.
"It's already a great blessing that I let that brat use my magic without my permission. Now you actually want me to tell that brat how to use my stove directly?"
What a foolish woman! You don't actually believe that Zen'in Kiyoshi is being kind to you for no reason, do you? There must be some kind of exchange of benefits involved; that's the basic rule of the world. If you continue…"
Listening to Sukuna's words, Orochi simply interrupted his incessant chatter with a cold look:
"When did you become so talkative, Sukuna?"
I thought you were the type who wouldn't care so much about other people's lives. It seems I'm not the only one whose life has changed over the past millennium.
Hearing Orochi's words, Sukuna's face turned fierce. He looked at Orochi, and his Cursed Energy slowly surged.
"Don't use your own situation to judge me! If there's a next time, I'll kill you immediately!"
An invisible slash hovered around Sukuna, as if it wanted to shred the surrounding space.
However, Orochi completely ignored Sukuna's threat, not even bothering to lift her eyelids, and simply said indifferently:
"Don't try to threaten me like this. In the battle a thousand years ago, I took at least several million of your strikes. I'm used to this kind of thing."
Besides, if I hadn't told you what was going on outside, you idiot, you'd still be staring at the TV and grinning like a fool. Sometimes, don't pretend, Sukuna.
Orochi's voice was extremely calm. Over the past few days, she had already seen through Sukuna's true nature.
This guy is almost a completely different person from the one he was a thousand years ago!
If Sukuna from a thousand years ago had said these words to him, Orochi might have believed that those words were Sukuna's true feelings.
But now, as Sukuna laughs foolishly at boring family comedy TV shows, he has nothing to do with that "King of Curses".
The environment has a profound and subtle influence on people.
Sukuna may still be reluctant to admit this, but to outsiders, his change is quite obvious.
"Who are you calling a liar?! Orochi, it seems that if we don't sever your last head, you bastard..."
"Hey hey~ Alright, I'm too lazy to argue with you about this stuff. Just tell me how to use the stove, so that Xiao Kiyoshi doesn't get hurt by that guy later. But it's really strange, that guy is clearly a Cursed Spirit, so why doesn't he have a Cursed Energy core?"
Sukuna felt as if he had punched cotton, and at this moment he could only feel helpless.
Deep down, he had to admit that Orochi was right; if you asked him to do something crazy right now, he really wouldn't be willing.
Exhausted and getting nothing in return...
What will he gain after killing Orochi and Zen'in Kiyoshi?
Will one's own soul be annihilated, or will it be taken out by Kenjaku and then stuffed into some sealed box to sit there blankly?
Forget it, recalling those same days over thousands of years, Sukuna only felt a little annoyed.
These days, eating snacks, drinking cola, watching TV, and waiting for the Zen'in temple to send more electronic products to humans, are not bad at all.
Let's just make do with this for now.
As for the ability "Divine Flame," do you want me to tell Orochi about it?
No way!
If they are truly sincere, then let Kiyoshi come and beg him himself!
Otherwise, no matter what, he would never be able to use that ability on Kiyoshi Zenin again.
Damn brat, no wonder he agreed to use his body so readily before. Did he already know that it might copy his technique?
Thinking of this, Sukuna felt a little uneasy. This brat, did he start scheming about these things back then?
Should I continue using the spell on this brat next time?
Damn it, what a cunning little devil!
Once he has his own body, he must first imprison this brat and let him experience what he feels now!
No... my current life and feelings seem pretty good...
With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Sukuna clicked his tongue and continued watching TV without saying a word.
Orochi continued to nag Sukuna incessantly, urging him to quickly teach him how to use the stove.
Meanwhile, outside, Zen'in Kiyoshi was already controlling the slash as he charged towards the Cursed Spirit Ogi.
The attack of Cursed Spirit Ogi was not difficult for him to dodge. Although the opponent's speed had increased significantly due to the flame jet, Zen'in Kiyoshi's [Six Eyes] could detect the flow of Cursed Energy within the opponent's body in advance, so he was able to predict and dodge each attack in advance.
It was during this process that Zen'in Kiyoshi truly experienced the terrifying power of the ability to adapt.
My skin, which used to feel uncomfortable just being near Cursed Spirit Ogi, can now feel no heat from it at all.
This does not mean that one's nerves are numb or damaged.
Zen'in Kiyoshi could clearly feel that something was changing about his skin, changing his body in a way that didn't require any of his Cursed Energy.
The skin adapts to the high temperature, the body constantly adapts to the opponent's attack speed and the changes in the opponent's Cursed Energy...
Everything related to battle was being adapted to at this moment, and this feeling made Zen'in Kiyoshi feel extremely comfortable.
The more they fight, the stronger they become; this is perhaps the best way to describe this state.
It was during this process that Zen'in Kiyoshi gradually figured out why Cursed Spirit Ogi lacked a core of Cursed Energy.
Rather than saying this guy doesn't have a core of Cursed Energy, it's more accurate to say that his core of Cursed Energy is himself!
As long as the Cursed Spirit Fan still has a piece of flesh and blood in this world, it is almost impossible for it to be killed by itself.
Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on Zen'in Kiyoshi's face.
Once the solution is known, targeted strategic adjustments can be made.
Chapter-160
Since leaving even the slightest trace is unacceptable, let's just completely eradicate it right here!
After Zen'in Kiyoshi obtained Ieiri Shōko's "Reverse Cursed Technique", he had been wanting to try something.
Could I surpass Gojō Satoru's current progress in the realm of Limitless by using the combined application of two techniques before I even reach Gojō Satoru's level?
[Reverse Cursed Technique] Although it has a negative buff that consumes 10 times more energy, it still affects the user.
However, that negative buff only appears when you use the Reverse Cursed Technique to heal your body.
Besides, the trajectory and feeling of the Reverse Cursed Technique are truly imprinted in one's mind.
Although it's still a bit unclear, Zen'in Kiyoshi has a feeling that if it were him now, he might try to use the [Cursed Technique Reversal: Red] technique, which even Gojō Satoru hasn't mastered yet!
Furthermore, if one can use [Red], it means that one might even have the opportunity to use [Hollow Purple]!
In this way, the deficiency of not having a single-target burst skill will be completely made up for!
As for something like Sukuna's [World Cutting Slash]...
Let's forget about this for now. Without the Mahoraga, Sukuna himself doesn't even know how to use it.
Once again, using the combined power of Star Rage and Heavenly Restriction, he smashed the Cursed Spirit Ogi's body into a bloody mist. While the opponent was recovering, Zen'in Kiyoshi gently closed his eyes.
All the noise from the outside world seemed to be blocked out at this moment.
Zen'in Kiyoshi's consciousness sank into his body, into the unique aura of the Reverse Cursed Technique network constructed by the [Reverse Cursed Technique].
The trajectory that had once seemed sluggish and heavy due to the "tenfold consumption" was now forcibly "ignited" under the extreme drive of Zen'in Kiyoshi's spiritual power!
But this time, Zen'in Kiyoshi was not there for treatment, much less for repair!
Rather, it was for... the opportunity to Reverse Cursed Technique!
At this moment, the Six Eyes seemed to transform into the most sophisticated instrument in the world, completely replicating the trajectory of the Reverse Cursed Technique performed on Kiyoshi's body.
The body of the Heavenly Restriction was now transformed into the most sensitive receiver, constantly receiving the body simulation brought by the Six Eyes.
The Limitless technique was activated, and the countless cycles of rotation slowly came to a halt at this moment.
Cold sweat began to bead on Kiyoshi's forehead. He was searching for an opportunity, a point where the forward-reversing technique could be reversed at the perfect moment!
The Cursed Spirit Ogi's body recovers very quickly. Even after being reduced to a bloody mist by Zen'in Kiyoshi, it can rebuild its body in just a few breaths.
Now, the other party has regained its body, and as Cursed Spirit Ogi looked at Zen'in Kiyoshi with his eyes closed, he seemed to sense a trace of unease and fear in his heart.
Although he had just transformed into a Cursed Spirit and his consciousness was not as clear as it was when he was human, he knew that if Zen'in Kiyoshi completed that strange spell, he might die here today!
If he becomes a Cursed Spirit and is killed by his opponent again, then he will completely disappear from this world!
There is no possibility of revenge anymore; he will be nailed to that pillar of shame for the rest of his life!
Cursed Spirit Ogi could not accept all of this. He roared, unleashing the flames of resentment and anger within him to their fullest extent.
AmazonMineral Sunscreen I SPF 80 PA++++
The crimson flames, like a rising sea of blood, suddenly surged towards the direction of Zen'in Kiyoshi.
However, at that very moment, Kiyoshi found the perfect "node"!
As the Cursed Energy within him began to operate in a completely different way, Zen'in Kiyoshi couldn't help but smile.
It was a success!
Although the process was somewhat dangerous, with the support of the three abilities of [Six Eyes], [Heavenly Restriction], and [Reverse Cursed Technique], I actually managed to successfully unleash [Red] on my first try!
What surprised Kiyoshi even more was that the moment he released [Red], a power he had never felt before surged from his body.
That power was like a warm current pushing me forward, propelling the somewhat obscure [Red] from its first activation to a level of consummate skill!
However, the formation of [Red] still takes some time. Zen'in Kiyoshi looked at Cursed Spirit Ogi, who was already approaching his face, took a deep breath, and while maintaining the activation of [Red], suddenly threw a punch, trying to delay Cursed Spirit Ogi's attack for a short time.
Just as Zen'in Kiyoshi's attack landed on Cursed Spirit Ogi, a series of familiar black and red lightning bolts appeared, and Zen'in Kiyoshi's smile began to spread across his face.
He knew perfectly well what this black and red lightning that appeared before him was!
Black Flash!
It possesses a terrifying ability to greatly enhance the attacks launched by sorcerers, restore their own Cursed Energy, and remove negative status effects!
However, to unleash a Black Flash, one's emotions and Cursed Energy must be within an error of less than 0.000001 seconds!
With the help of the Six Eyes, Zen'in Kiyoshi should theoretically be able to launch such an attack more easily, but his Six Eyes is not complete, so Zen'in Kiyoshi did not expect anything as unstable as Black Flash.
But at that very moment, the black and red lightning was like the most inspiring spear of victory, pushing the power that had already distorted the surrounding space to its limit once again the instant Red appeared!
Perhaps because Black Flash had merged with the Cursed Energy, Zen'in Kiyoshi felt that the [Red] that shouldn't have been amplified had become even more terrifying at this moment.
A crimson power was constantly gathering in the air. It was the continuous compression and collapse of space. The concept that only existed in the physical sense was materialized into the real world at this moment. The resulting distorting power would reduce all obstacles in its path to nothing!
Looking at the small red sphere in front of Zen'in Kiyoshi, the instinct of the Cursed Spirit Ogi told him one word.
"escape!"
Without any hesitation, Cursed Spirit Ogi once again betrayed his principle of survival, once again abandoned his dignity, and once again fled in front of Zen'in Kiyoshi!
However, Kiyoshi watched the figure of Cursed Spirit Ogi fleeing, but his face showed no emotion whatsoever.
He took a deep breath, looked at the black and red sphere in front of him, and said softly:
"Cursed Technique Reversal: Red!"
As a sphere that seemed to tear through the entire space shot out, in just an instant, the area in front of Kiyoshi was already a pile of ruins.
Instead of a deafening explosion, there was a more terrifying, low hum that seemed to tear space itself apart!
