Chapter-401
"Is this...this is the college?"
Looking at the somewhat timid pink-haired boy in front of her, Fushiguro Megumi showed a slightly impatient expression. Although her tone wasn't very friendly, she still explained:
"Didn't you see the wooden sign over there? You're not in the wrong place, this is the place."
Upon hearing this, Itadori's face broke into a bright smile. He looked at Fushiguro Megumi in front of him and extended his hand:
"It's a pleasure to meet you! I'm Hisahito Itadori, recommended by Zen-in Sei-sensei! I'm twelve years old!"
Hearing Itadori's words, Hui showed no surprise whatsoever. He remained unchanged, never giving strangers a friendly look.
"Yes, I've heard about you from the Zen Academy teachers. Come with me. My name is Fukuro Megumi. We'll most likely be together for the rest of the courses. Don't hold me back during the two-month summer course."
After saying that, Fushiguro Megumi walked straight towards the back mountain, completely ignoring Itadori.
However, Itadori wasn't angry at all. He followed behind Fushiguro Megumi with a grin, completely ignoring the other's sour face, and continued to talk to her:
"Have you been training here for a long time? Do you know what kind of training the Zen masters give us? Is it difficult to pass? How old are you? Which school do you attend?"
Listening to Itajō's words, Fushiguro Megumi showed a helpless expression. To be honest, the kind of person he was least able to deal with was this kind of overly familiar guy.
Fushiguro Megumi took a deep breath, suppressing the impatience surging within her, and answered briefly without turning her head:
"I've been training for almost a year, but I don't know the specifics. The only thing I can tell you is that the training at the Zen Academy is never simple."
Also, I am thirteen years old this year and do not attend a regular school.
Fushiguro Megumi had already given Itadori the briefest answer he could think of to appease him. In his mind, as long as Itadori Hisahito had even a shred of emotional intelligence and IQ, he should be able to see through his unwillingness to communicate.
However, it is clear that Hisahito Itadori has neither enough emotional intelligence nor enough intellectual intelligence.
He smiled at Fushiguro Megumi as before and said:
"Wow! It's been a year already? Then you're much more skilled than me! What's your technique? I heard from the Zen Academy teacher that one of my classmates can summon frogs and rabbits. Is that you?!"
Hisahito Itadori's exclamation did not diminish at all; on the contrary, he became even more excited at receiving a response. Completely oblivious to Fushiguro Megumi's helplessness, he still asked:
"Also, if you don't go to a regular school, what will happen to your academic courses? Or do the schools here not teach these subjects? I want to come here too! My Chinese grades are terrible!"
Oh, right! Is this place only for learning how to exorcise cursed spirits? Are there any spring outings, extracurricular activities, clubs, or anything like that?
"Phew... There are academic classes too, but they don't take up much of the curriculum. And I want to remind you that being a sorcerer is not some child's game! Don't take the identity of a sorcerer lightly!"
"A guy like you would be better off giving up on becoming a sorcerer, otherwise I don't think you'll live much longer."
Fukuro answered curtly, quickening his pace, eager to get the noisy pink-haired boy to the training ground as soon as possible to complete the task assigned by the Zen master.
He didn't like this pink-haired bastard; the things he said made it sound like he was treating sorcerers like students, playing house.
Hearing Fushiguro Megumi's somewhat stiff tone, even if Itadori was slow-witted, he knew at this moment that the other party seemed a little unhappy.
However, Itadori still didn't know why Fushiguro Megumi was angry. He continued to follow behind Fushiguro Megumi while thinking about it. However, this time, he was focused on how to appease Fushiguro Megumi, so he didn't say much. After all, appeasing someone requires a thought process.
The two walked quickly toward the training ground on the back mountain of the college. The path on the back mountain was not particularly easy to walk. Originally, Fushiguro Megumi was going to wait for Itadori for a while, worried that the other party would not be able to keep up with her pace.
But when he looked back to check on Haddock, he found that this untrained kid was able to keep up with him with ease.
To make matters worse, Hisahito Itadori saw him turn around and, perhaps thinking that Megumi Fushiguro was no longer angry, started chattering away again.
Just as Fushiguro Megumi felt her patience was about to reach its limit, a gentle voice came from the edge of the training ground ahead:
"It seems you two already know each other and get along quite well."
Hearing the voice coming from there, both Fushiguro Megumi and Itadori Yuujin subconsciously turned their heads to look.
At that moment, Zen Monk Qingzheng was leaning against a tree, smiling as he watched them approach.
Zenji Sei was wearing a loose black tracksuit today, carrying a bag of steamed buns. A faint aroma wafted from the bag, making Itadori Yuuhito and Fushiguro Megumi, who hadn't eaten breakfast yet, feel a little hungry.
"Teacher of the Zen Temple, can I have one of those steamed buns?!"
After Huzhang entered, without any hesitation, he immediately requested the breakfast from the Zen temple.
"Teacher Qing."
Fushiguro listened to Itajō's words without saying anything, but his eyes were fixed on the bag of buns.
He didn't eat breakfast this morning either. That damn bastard dad always forgets to prepare breakfast!
My mom has been away on a business trip lately, so she's been leaving all the household chores to Jin'er. Tsumi has gone to high school, and since it's a boarding school, she doesn't usually come home.
This has resulted in Fushiguro Megumi's meals being extremely poor lately, consisting of either large pots of unknown ingredients stewed together or piles of cold, hard vegetarian bread.
Zenjiro's gaze shifted between the two, and he naturally noticed the looks in Fushiguro Megumi and Itadori's eyes. Seeing their expressions, Zenjiro's lips curled into a knowing smile.
"Yujin, you seem to have a lot of energy, but you must be hungry."
Having said that, Zenji Sei, without waiting for Itajō's reply, continued smiling at Fushiguro Megumi:
"Hui, thank you for bringing him here. You look hungry too. And that bastard didn't prepare breakfast for you again, did he?"
Fushiguro Megumi gave a soft "hmm" and didn't say much, but her eyes clearly showed an indescribable helplessness.
Seeing Fushiguro Megumi's expression, Zenji Kiyoshi shook his head with a smile. To Fushiguro Megumi, this guy was no different from the Demon Maru.
"Let's eat together when Kugizaki comes over. This is enough for three people."
Zenji straightened up and patted the two of them on the head, while not far away, Kugizaki also rushed over in a flurry.
Chapter-402
"Sorry, sorry~ I stayed at the coffee shop a little longer today. I can't help it, their business is so good. You probably didn't have to wait long, right?"
As an apology, I bought some snacks for each of you, including potato chips, homemade cakes, Pocari Sweat, pickled kelp...
As Yuuji Itadori listened to Nobara Kugizaki's reciting-menu-like manner of speaking, his eyes gradually lit up.
He looked at Kugizaki Nobara with a face full of admiration and said:
"Um, um, thank you so much! I'm Hisahito Itadori! Nice to meet you!"
Kugizaki had a very good initial impression of this overly familiar guy who looked like he admired him, much better than when he first saw Fushiguro Megumi.
There's nothing we can do about it, though. Although Fushiguro Megumi is decent-looking, he really is a grumpy guy.
Therefore, Kugizaki replied with a smile to Itadori, who seemed cheerful and a bit silly:
"My name is Kugizaki Nobara! We'll be classmates from now on, no, I'll be your big sister from now on! Just be my little brother from now on!"
With a bright smile, Kugizaki deftly pulled a bag of potato chips and a box of handmade cakes from the large bag she was carrying and handed them to Itajō.
"Here, these are for you. Consider them a small gift from the boss to you!"
Itadori watched as the snacks flew towards him, hurriedly catching them before earnestly saying to Kugizaki:
"Thank you, Kugizaki! No, Big Sister! You're so kind!"
Kugizaki was a little embarrassed by Itadori's almost blunt praise. To be honest, this was the first time in his life that he had taken on a subordinate.
Although this younger brother looks a bit silly, having one is still pretty good.
Thinking of this, Kugizaki's mood improved considerably. She turned to look at Fushiguro Megumi, who had been silent beside her, took another bag of potato chips from her bag, and tossed it to her casually, with a hint of teasing:
"Hey, you stinky brat, this is for you."
Fushiguro Megumi paused for a moment, looking at the snacks being thrown at his face. After a brief hesitation, he accepted them. After all, he was genuinely hungry, and why not take them, even if it was a little embarrassing? After receiving the snacks, he whispered his thanks to Kugizaki.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome. Just remember to smile at me next time we meet."
Kugizaki waved his hand dismissively, then looked at Itadori, who was already opening snack bags, and asked curiously:
"Were you also recommended by the Zen temple teachers?"
"yes!"
Uruga nodded vigorously, stuffing potato chips into his mouth while saying somewhat indistinctly:
"Teacher Qing is amazing! I never imagined that I would be able to study in Tokyo one day! And in such a luxurious place."
Before Kugizaki could say anything, Fushiguro Megumi, standing to the side, looked at the surrounding barren mountains and muttered something in confusion:
"What exactly makes this place luxurious?"
"Right, right!"
However, Kugizaki didn't take these words to heart. She simply smiled and took a few steps closer to Itadori, then whispered:
"Although Teacher Qing always looks smiling and seems to have little money, he is actually super reliable! And incredibly rich!"
And he did everything he promised to take me!
As Kugizaki Nobara spoke, her face revealed a mixture of admiration and joy for the purity of the Zen temple.
Fushiguro Megumi stood to the side, silently unscrewing the cap of a Pocari Sweat bottle, listening to the two of them enthusiastically discussing the places Zenin Kiyoshi had taken them to and the things they had done. Although his face remained expressionless, his eyes softened slightly.
But the thought of her father's carefree and irresponsible manner made Fushiguro feel a little annoyed.
no!
When I get back, I must tell Mom! I need to make sure that bastard dad gets a good scolding.
However, given my father's personality, no amount of scolding will change him.
Just then, Zenji Kiyoya opened the bag in his hand, distributed the buns to the group, and said with a smile:
"The things that Kugizaki bought for you are also good, but you still need to eat some carbs for breakfast."
"By the way, you've gone to great lengths this time, Kugizaki."
"No problem!"
Hearing Zenjiro's words, Kugizaki tossed his chin up with a hearty laugh, his beautiful brown-orange hair shimmering in the sunlight like a blazing flame.
"Anyway, Teacher Qing, you give me a lot of pocket money!"
Zenji Kiyoshi felt somewhat helpless about this, but he didn't say anything. Kugizaki just liked the life in the big city. He had money, so what was the point of giving her money if he didn't let her spend it?
About ten minutes later, Zenji clapped his hands and said to the three little ones beside him:
"Alright, snack time is over. Now that everyone's here, let's begin today's training."
Oh, I forgot to tell you, today's training content is... cleaning the shrine of the Kaguya-an family, for vocational high school teachers!
He glanced at Itadori and Kugizaki, who were clearly dumbfounded, and at Fushiguro, who remained calm, and added:
"Although it's just a cleaning task, you should still be careful. Places like shrines often accumulate a lot of negative emotions because they listen to people's troubles for a long time."
Just like hospitals, these places are always breeding grounds for cursed spirits, so when cleaning, don't scatter, or you might die and no one will even know.
When Fushiguro Megumi heard this, his brows furrowed slightly. He looked at Zenji Kiyoshi and said with some confusion:
"Teacher Qing, if I remember correctly, the shrine in Teacher Gehime's house is very big, right? With just the three of us, it's highly unlikely that we can finish cleaning it in one day."
Of course, I'm making this calculation based on the efficiency of three people gathered in one place. If we split up, we can most likely finish before sunset.
But that means we'll have to split up, and if we really encounter a cursed spirit...
Fushiguro Megumi didn't continue speaking, but the meaning behind her words was already quite clear.
Zen-in Kiyoshi smiled and said:
"That depends on you guys. If you don't finish by tonight, then it's your problem."
Hearing Zenin Kiyoshi's words, Fushiguro Megumi understood what he meant. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said to Kugizaki and Itadori:
We need to split up!
Uruga, your task is to clean the exterior of the main shrine and the courtyard. There are many high places in these areas, so be careful when you climb up.
Kugizaki, you are in charge of the side hall and the prayer area in front.
I inspected and cleaned the woods and secluded corners behind the shrine.
Remember one thing: don't go too far, and make sure you can be heard! If you encounter a situation you can't handle, call for help immediately!
Chapter-403
Fushiguro Ena's arrangement, which left everyone speechless, surprised Itadori and Kugizaki, who were still in a daze.
Kugizaki raised an eyebrow, seemingly a little surprised by Fushiguro's natural "giving orders." But to be honest, she had to admit that although Fushiguro Megumi had a rather sour face, she was definitely no match for him in terms of intelligence.
Moreover, the other party's allocation was quite reasonable, so even if I wanted to object, I wouldn't have anything to say.
But Haddock, that somewhat naive fellow, immediately stood at attention and responded loudly:
"Understood! Senior Fukuguro!"
Upon hearing this address, Fushiguro's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.
"Don't call me that. We're in the same year. Just call me Fu Hei."
"Yes, Fu Hei!"
Looking at the energetic Yuujin Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro shook his head slightly. He now understood the situation that Kento Nanami faced when he was with Yuu Haibara.
Zenji was driving the three little ones to the shrine of the geisha's family when Sukuna, who hadn't spoken to him much before, suddenly spoke up.
"That brat named Itadori Yuujin, that aura he exudes... it must be the method that woman Rōsō is preparing to use to seal me, right?"
I've never observed this brat up close before, or rather, until today, that brat hadn't displayed any magical power capable of sealing me, but this time... it really does have an unusually unsettling aura.
Hearing the words in his mind, Zenji Kiyoshi replied with slight surprise:
"I thought you'd figured this out a long time ago. I always thought you didn't want to express any opinion on this matter, but now it seems you're not as perceptive as I thought. Have you been playing too many games?"
Sukuna had clearly become extremely accustomed to Zenin Sei's way of responding over the years, or rather, the Sukuna who had spent so long in Zenin Sei's spiritual world was no longer the same Sukuna as before.
If it were just that people living in ancient times didn't have many forms of entertainment, that would be one thing. But what Su Nuo has seen and heard in the past few years has completely surpassed his experience over the previous thousand years.
To be honest, Sukuna doesn't have much interest in the things he pursued so passionately a thousand years ago.
"I've been watching a video game competition lately, and my favorite team lost. It's really frustrating to watch. The day I can finally leave this place, I'm going to capture those ten people. Whoever loses, I'll chop them into pieces!"
Hearing Sukuna's words, Zenin Kiyoshi's lips twitched slightly, then he retorted with a hint of sarcasm:
"The existence of someone like you is the biggest obstacle to the development of esports."
"Really? I think if I were there, those uneducated esports players would at least learn what professionalism is!"
Listening to Sukuna's complaints, Zenji Sei continued to ask:
"Did you come out all this way just to complain to me about this kind of thing?"
"No, it's just to tell you why I had time to observe this kid today. And there's something else you didn't notice: this kid has an aura that I find somewhat familiar, an aura that belongs to... my era."
Zenji Sei subconsciously glanced at Itadori Yuujin, who was sitting in the back seat and talking incessantly to Fushiguro Megumi, and asked with some confusion:
"What was the atmosphere of your era? Could you tell me more specifically?"
"Kid, why should I tell you these things? The first person I'll kill after I get out is you."
"You've been saying these things for so many years. Honestly, even if you actually got out, you wouldn't do it."
"Tch... I'm too lazy to talk to a bastard like you about this stuff. That brat named Itadori Hisahito seems to have a special mark on his body. I have a feeling that the mark will trigger some kind of special technique in a certain appropriate place."
Sukuna's explanation was rather vague. Zenji Sei frowned, wanting to ask for clarification, but Sukuna refused to speak again. The voice of Yamata no Orochi rang out, tinged with helplessness:
"Xiaoqing, stop asking that bastard. He's already wearing the noise-canceling headphones you prepared for him. I also took a look at that kid named Itadori Yuujin. He has a kind of time-disruption feeling about him."
I don't know if you've ever heard of something called the "Well of Cursed Power." Legend has it that it's an ancient well that existed around 400 AD. A sorcerer once slept in it for one night, and when he woke up the next day, more than 200 years had passed.
Later, other people went to look for the well, but they never found it.
Legends about that well have circulated among top-tier curse spirits. Some curse spirits say that there is a spacetime magic spell inside, and anyone who enters it will be randomly teleported to a point in time.
I also searched for it, but I gave up after only half a year. After all, for a cursed spirit like me, lifespan is something that doesn't matter.
But... Xiaoqing, if you can, you must master this technique!
Upon hearing this, Zen-in-Sei subconsciously asked:
"Why? Is there anything special about that technique?"
Zenji's question made Orochi hesitate slightly before he stammered, "..."
"Because, because you are ultimately still a human being, and you will eventually die. From ancient times to the present, even the most powerful sorcerers are no exception. Humans can never escape the limitation of lifespan."
I don't know if you'll become a cursed spirit after you die... No, I don't think you'd accept becoming a cursed spirit, but I can't accept being separated from you even more, so, so, please go and master that spell!
By the end, Orochi's voice was almost entirely trembling with an extreme burst of shyness.
Zenji Seijin, upon hearing this, naturally understood Orochi's thoughts:
"Yamagi, if possible, I will definitely master that technique, but not for immortality, nor because I'm worried about becoming a cursed spirit. I don't have the kind of hatred you imagine for cursed spirits."
You and the elegant young lady are both very important people to me, aren't you?
Hearing Zenji's words, Orochi's face flushed slightly, and he hurriedly left after saying a few words:
"That well is said to be inside the shrine of a certain shrine maiden!"
Upon hearing this, Zenji Sei's face showed a slight surprise.
Could it be... that the well in the songstress's house really is?
Could it be such a coincidence?
Could this be another deliberate manipulation by the "balancing mechanism"?
What role does Hisahito Ursula play here?
Chapter-404
The weather outside was nice, and a faint fragrance of flowers wafted through the car window. Zenji Qing's grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly.
The last words of Orochi were being analyzed and pondered repeatedly in Zenji Kiyoshi's mind.
The Shrine of the Shrine Maiden...
I had heard her mention the shrine of the geisha's family a long time ago. She said that the shrine was managed by the shrine maiden who had been in her family for generations, and that she had complained that her grandmother always made her clean the old well.
Could it be that the aura of the Heian period that Sukuna and Orochi both pointed out on Itadori is really related to that well?
These things didn't appear in the original work. Could it be a butterfly effect caused by my arrival?
After all, in the original story, Yuuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro's meeting should have happened after they entered high school.
But this is too much of a coincidence. Could Lu Suo have played some role in this as well?
Or is it, as he suspected, a special intervention method of the "balancing mechanism"?
After all, the way the world's rules are maintained through extreme balance might actually alter the course of certain events, thus ensuring the occurrence of specific trajectories...
Is that thing guiding Lu Suo, or guiding itself?
Why did I approach that well, to touch what might be a spacetime magic formula? And what was my ultimate goal?
All sorts of questions instantly flooded Zen Monk Qing's mind, making him feel like his brain couldn't keep up.
Shaking his head slightly, Zenji Kiyoshi glanced once more through the rearview mirror at Itadori Yuujin, who was completely unaware of the situation and was currently excitedly discussing something with Fushiguro Megumi.
From the moment this child was born, he has already carried far too much.
If possible, Zenin Kiyoshi still wanted Hisahito Itadori to continue living a relaxed life for a while longer.
Such a kind soul shouldn't have to bear such a heavy burden so early.
However, he now carries not only the karma of sealing Su Nuo, but also a mystery of time and space from a thousand years ago.
This added another layer of "specialness," which, for Hisahito Itsuki, was neither a blessing nor a curse.
"Teacher Qing?"
Although Zenjiro Sei's unusual change was extremely subtle, the observant Fushiguro Megumi still managed to notice it. So he gently pushed Itajō aside, leaned close to Zenjiro Sei, and whispered Zenjiro Sei's name.
"Um?"
Upon hearing Fushiguro Megumi's words, Zenji Kiyoya immediately composed himself, and the faint confusion and emotion on his face disappeared. In just a moment, he regained his usual gentle smile.
"What's wrong?"
"You were lost in thought just now. Were you worried about our mission?"
"Don't overthink it. I was just wondering if the songstress would be so touched by how clean you guys made her shrine that she'd treat you to a fancy meal at a high-end restaurant."
"Really?! Really?!"
The moment he heard about the delicious food, Hishin's attention was immediately drawn to it once again.
"Dream on!"
Kugizaki, seeing Itajimaru's excited expression, mercilessly poured cold water on his enthusiasm:
"Although the songstress is a very gentle teacher, she is also the stingiest teacher. Last time I wanted to borrow a tissue from her, she charged me 200 yen!"
Listening to Kugizaki Nobara's rants, the atmosphere in the car relaxed again, and the three little ones started chatting again.
However, although Zenji Sei appeared as calm as ever, his doubts and confusion remained undiminished.
Originally, this cleaning task was just a small one to cultivate the three of them's understanding and relationship, but now, judging from this incident, he needs to remain vigilant.
Not only do we need to ensure the safety of the three students, but we also need to take the opportunity to investigate the shrine, especially the existence of the well.
When necessary, he would even personally go into the well to investigate.
The car continued on the road, but as they got closer to their destination, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians around.
The shrine of the geisha family is located in a secluded mountain forest, which is full of snakes, insects and wild beasts. Ordinary people would never go there.
As he approached the shrine, Yuuji Itadori could clearly smell the faint scent of incense in the air, as well as... that familiar, extremely nauseating stench of cursed spirits.
The Songstress's Hermitage wasn't there at this time. According to Grandma Songstress, the Songstress usually had to go down to buy some daily necessities to bring back up, since the roads here were difficult to travel and most of the supplies were purchased once a week.
Grandma, the songstress, greeted everyone and gave the three little ones extremely gentle feedback.
After saying goodbye to the songstress, Fushiguro Megumi immediately assigned tasks according to the previously arranged plan.
Although Itadori and Kugizaki weren't particularly looking forward to cleaning, Kugizaki still threw himself into the work with great enthusiasm because of the reward, while Itadori was always full of energy no matter what he did.
Zenji Seiji observed the group for a while, then, under the guise of inspecting and providing guidance, began searching the shrine grounds.
Hisahito Itadori's excessive energy led Megumi Fushiguro to assign him the largest portion of the cleaning area.
He was mainly in charge of the exterior of the main hall and the courtyard. Although the area was large, the location was relatively good, so apart from being a bit tiring, it was basically the safest place.
Huzhang carried a broom and rag taller than himself, full of energy.
However, just as Huzhang stood on tiptoe and struggled to clean the spider webs under the eaves, he suddenly noticed something was amiss.
The next moment, Huzhang was as agile as a monkey, and in no time he climbed up the beam.
This scene surprised Kugizaki and Fushiguro Megumi, who occasionally looked up at him. After all, Itadori couldn't control his cursed power yet, but it was still a bit exaggerated based on his physique.
Tiger Stick was holding a rag and was wiping an old-fashioned stone lantern with some force. Just as he was wiping it for the fifth time, Tiger Stick suddenly felt a chilling sensation in his palm, as if something invisible was trying to crawl into his fingertips.
In that instant, Huzhang hissed and withdrew his hand, looking warily at the stone lantern. But the chill did not disappear; instead, it became even stronger.
Itachi was somewhat frightened. Remembering Fushiguro and Master Kiyoshi's warnings, he dared not be careless. Instead, he jumped down from the roof beam and shouted to Fushiguro Megumi, who was not far away:
"Um, Fushiguro, Kugizaki-san, something seems off here..."
Chapter-405
Before Haddō could finish speaking, a pale hand emerged directly from the shadows behind him.
The next moment, the hand grabbed Tiger Staff's neck with a speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye, lifting him off the ground. The terrifying force almost snapped Tiger Staff's neck.
The words that hadn't yet been spoken were forcibly suppressed. Tiger Stick's face turned red, the veins on his head bulged, saliva dripped down his face, his eyes were bloodshot, and his body struggled and twisted.
However, Haddō's resistance was completely ineffective against the massive body hiding in the shadows.
As the figure in the shadows quietly emerged, Itadori's eyes were filled with despair.
It was a monster whose entire body was made up of countless pale arms, with scarlet and ferocious eyeballs embedded in its arms, which were constantly changing their gaze as Itachi struggled.
The monster was over three meters tall, and its hand, which was gripping the cane tightly, had almost cut off all his chances of survival.
However, just as Itadori uttered his first word, Fushiguro Megumi had already noticed what was happening on his side. Almost at the same time that Itadori's throat was being gripped by that hand, Fushiguro Megumi had already rushed to the door.
Looking at the man with the tiger's throat being choked in the room, Fushiguro Megumi didn't hesitate. She clasped her hands together in a peculiar gesture and immediately shouted:
"Jade Dog!"
As Fukuro Megumi's voice fell, the shadow beneath his feet suddenly trembled twice, like the surface of water. Then, two black shadows formed a jade dog that leaped out of the shadows like an arrow, with a low growl, and pounced straight at the pale arm that was gripping the tiger cane!
However, the Thousand Hands Cursed Spirit reacted extremely quickly to Fushiguro Megumi's attack!
Almost the instant the jade dog pounced on it, the other hands on the cursed spirit's body immediately gathered and approached like venomous snakes. As the five fingers of those hands opened, scarlet eyeballs suddenly opened in those palms, each eyeball now gleaming with a malevolent light!
"Bang!"
The jade dog, which was moving at high speed, suddenly seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall. Its entire body was stuck in mid-air, and before it could even let out a wail, it was slammed away by a tremendous force and crashed into a wall in the distance. Blood flowed down from the jade dog's fur, making it look extremely miserable.
"What?!"
Seeing the pitiful state of the Jade Dog, Fushiguro Megumi's pupils involuntarily contracted. His Jade Dog had actually been dealt with in an instant? Moreover, this cursed spirit had clearly displayed special abilities beyond its powerful physical body!
This is bad; this guy's strength is probably beyond our capabilities.
"Huh?! Where did this damned cursed spirit come from? Get out of my way!"
At that very moment, Kugizaki's angry shout came from the other side.
She stared at Huzhang, whose neck was being choked. Huzhang's face was slowly turning from red to bluish-purple, and his struggles were getting weaker and weaker. If this continued, he would probably die soon!
"Kugizaki, come on!"
As soon as Fushiguro Megumi's voice came, Kugizaki instantly understood what she meant.
She pulled a nail from her waist pocket with her left hand, and her right hand instantly injected magical power into the small hammer, followed by a dazzling dark purple light.
This is the prerequisite for activating the "Spirit Spell"!
Although the effect would be less effective without a medium, it would still be enough to cover Fushiguro Megumi.
The next moment, Kugizaki aimed the small hammer at the cursed spirit's body and swung it out fiercely!
"resonance!"
An invisible shockwave swept through the air, and Kugizaki's hammer slammed into the nail she had thrown.
With a slightly shrill scream, two bloody holes appeared on the cursed spirit's body. Although the holes were not large and were healing rapidly, they at least drew some attention to Fukuhei's attack.
The jade dog that had been smashed into the wall had disappeared. The moment Fu Hei rushed to the cursed spirit's side, the black jade dog reappeared from the shadows. Although there was blood on its mouth, it still bit off the cursed spirit's arm.
As blood splattered, Fushiguro Megumi instinctively grabbed the tiger cane that was falling to the ground.
The white jade dog emerged from under Fu Hei's feet at this moment, catching the two of them and quickly retreating backward.
Without any hesitation, the black jade dog charged directly towards Kugizaki with the cursed spirit's arm dangling from its mouth.
Kugizaki and Fushiguro's teamwork has long since reached a point where words are no longer needed.
Watching the black jade dog charging towards her, Kugizaki smiled. She took out a nail and a hammer, and subconsciously smiled at the black jade dog:
"Well done, Black Ball!"
A human-like smile appeared on the black jade dog's face, but at that very moment, the arm that should have long since lost its movement began to move again.
It began to wriggle again, grabbing the jade dog's throat and about to crush its head.
But at that very moment, Zenji Kiyoshi's voice suddenly rang out:
"Born of darkness, darker than black, cleansing away all filth and defilement."
The serene chanting from the Zen temple filled the hall, and the students, who had been on edge, immediately felt relieved upon hearing it.
As long as Master Qing from the Zen Temple arrives, everything will be fine.
Fukuro Megumi subconsciously looked towards the entrance of the main hall, where Zenji Kiyoshi was standing. His right index and middle fingers were joined together, and a slight amount of magical energy emanated from his body.
As Zen-in-ki's voice rang out, streams of power, which appeared extremely gentle to everyone, descended.
Although the power was gentle, it contained an unimaginable, overwhelming force, spreading out silently like ripples on water.
It was an "account", but not entirely an ordinary "account".
If the ordinary tent is meant to isolate the inside from the outside and prevent ordinary people from accidentally entering the exorcism site...
The one that Zen-in-Tsushin is now descending is an improved version of it, and on the basis of the original, it also has the absolute "purification" property!
This is a special development and utilization of the "Heavenly Reversal of Compassion" technique. Within this space, as long as Zen Monk Qing still has magical power, all sorcerers in this area will receive unconditional reversal spell healing.
The cursed spirit inside this tent would be like being in a pool of concentrated sulfuric acid, its entire body being soaked and corroded by extremely high-purity anti-curse power.
Under the nurturing power of this incantation, Huzhang's complexion gradually became peaceful and rosy.
Chapter-406
As Zenjutsu Qing's incantation power descended, the incantation spirit emitted a sound of extreme fear and sorrow.
"Waaah..."
The countless scarlet eyes on the cursed spirit were spinning wildly, and its skin seemed to be burned by intense light.
The thick black curses that were originally wrapped around the cursed spirits now made a continuous hissing sound, as if they had encountered an extremely corrosive liquid.
Black sewage was gushing out from its enormous body, which was being dissolved and melted away!
Even the arm that was gripping the black jade dog was instantly dissolved by that terrifying power, posing almost no threat.
The black jade dog seized the opportunity, its head suddenly swung backward, and its sharp teeth tore off the restraints on its fingers.
Even though he was nearly strangled to death by that arm, the black jade dog still did not give up on his mission.
With the severed arm of the cursed spirit in its mouth, it nimbly retreated to Kugizaki's side in a few leaps, threw the arm on the ground, and then stared warily at the cursed spirit, letting out a low, threatening growl.
Fushiguro Megumi, holding Itadori, landed on the back of the white jade dog "Shiromaru." He could clearly feel a warm and vibrant power flowing into his and Itadori's bodies.
The shocking purplish-blue marks on Huzhang's neck were fading and disappearing at a visible speed, and even his previously rapid and difficult breathing quickly became steady and long.
Not only sorcerers, but even shikigami, special life forms, had their minor injuries from the impact healed in the white light.
The whole process was actually very short, just a few breaths, and the cursed spirit went from being arrogant to a clump of black liquid about to disappear.
Zenjiro walked up to the black liquid. He frowned and sensed the aura emanating from the cursed spirit, feeling a strange and familiar feeling that he couldn't quite describe.
The next moment, Orochi's voice rang out, tinged with surprise.
"The aura emanating from this thing is from the Heian period! The spirits of that time were different from those of today, and their composition was also different. But how could a spirit from the Heian period appear here?!"
And how could such a weakling have survived until now?!
Hearing Orochi's words, Sukuna chimed in with some curiosity:
"Although you, you idiot woman, usually say stupid things, we actually share the same opinion on this matter: such a weak cursed spirit could not possibly have survived from the Heian period to the present."
Furthermore, the magical power emanating from it showed no signs of change over a thousand years; it still retained the feel of the Heian period. This thing wasn't alive in the present day, but rather arrived in this era directly through some kind of technique.
Su Nuo's affirmation set the tone for everyone's views.
Zenjiro watched this scene and nodded slightly. He had already determined where the strange sense of familiarity on the cursed spirit came from.
This is the foggy feeling when the [Balance Mechanism] arrives!
When the balancing mechanism pulls you into that illusion, it might cause a nausea similar to motion sickness because it disrupts the timeline.
And now this same aura has appeared on the cursed spirit, which means that no matter how things develop, the people behind the scenes have a balancing mechanism.
The songstress, sensing the commotion in the main hall, had rushed over, slightly out of breath, her face flushed from exercise. Looking at the tranquil Zen temple before her, she gasped, "..."
"What happened here? Why is there the aura of a cursed spirit?"
Zenji turned to the songstress and gave a brief explanation, but omitted his speculations about the balancing mechanism.
After all, these three children are people who will have a great impact on the future, and Zenji Qing does not want to reveal these things to them yet.
After hearing Zenjiro's words, the songstress frowned deeply. She looked at the cursed spirit lying on the ground and quietly pulled Zenjiro aside.
"You're probably hiding something, aren't you? Is it something you can't say in front of those kids?"
Zenji Kiyoshi nodded in agreement with the songstress's keen judgment. He then made no attempt to hide anything from her and directly shared his guesses.
Upon hearing this, the songstress did not hesitate for long. She took Zen-in-kyo's hand and walked towards the side hall with a slightly flushed face.
After searching the room thoroughly, the songstress finally found an old book with a yellowed cover in a dusty box.
Blowing the dust off the book, the songstress quickly opened it, searching for something.
The rustling sound of pages turning filled the air. About two minutes later, the songstress pointed to an illustration of an ancient well on one of the pages and exclaimed:
"This is it! Kiyoshi! This is the origin of the well in our shrine!"
Zenji Qing followed the singer's gaze and saw a line of words written there.
"The Well of Time is a legendary artifact that allows people to travel through time; only the chosen ones can enter it."
The description was brief, and Zenji Kiyoshi couldn't glean much information from it, but the songstress provided timely supplementary information at that moment:
"This ancient book has been passed down through generations in our family, but because it is so old, many of the records are rather brief."
TANTRA MAX79 सल की उम्र में भी मर्दन्तरकत 10 गुनर कैसे बढ़ाएं?
The songstress's fingertips gently traced the yellowed pages of the book, her tone unusually serious.
"There are few records about this 'Well of Time,' but my grandmother always emphasized a taboo to me..."
She raised her head, looked directly into Zenjiro's eyes, and said, word by word:
"The well is alive!"
"This well will choose those who approach it and drag them into the river of time with which it is most entangled causally."
I don't know how to explain this to you. It's like if your surname is Li, then you might be placed in the Tang Dynasty of China.
But there is a key point here: every time someone travels through time, it's like throwing a stone into a calm lake, creating ripples.
These ripples cause things that don't belong to that point in time to be swept away by the turbulent currents of time and cast into other eras, just like that cursed spirit from before.
After speaking, the songstress closed the ancient book with some worry. A few specks of dust fell as she looked anxiously toward the main hall, as if she could see the ancient well on the back mountain through the wall.
"My grandmother used to warn me that I must never go near that well, and she also strictly forbade anyone with strong obsessions from approaching the core area of the shrine."
At the time, I thought it was some kind of nonsense or scam, but now it seems that what Grandma said was all true...
Chapter-407
With a slight sigh, the songstress stroked her smooth chin, then glanced at Zenji Sei and asked in a low voice:
"What do we say now? Should we send Hui and the others back first?"
"Wait a minute, I'll contact Gojo and have him come pick up the students. Songstress, go find your grandmother. We'll go check out the Time Well at the back first. If there's a problem, we'll seal it off immediately."
Moreover, I also saw that cursed spirit just now. It was probably around level one. Although it didn't pose any threat to you, if neither of us had been at the shrine, the situation might have been quite bad.
So until this matter is completely resolved, I think for safety reasons, you should have your grandmother move out first.
The songstress nodded, glanced at Zen-in-no-Kei with slight worry, then sighed and said:
"Although I've always complained about cleaning up the shrine, I'm actually a little reluctant to leave now."
"Don't say such discouraging things. It's not like the problem is unsolvable; it's just for safety reasons for now."
Upon hearing this, the songstress smiled and said to Zen Master Qing:
"If things are resolved, I'll treat you to dinner. You can have whatever you want, it's on me!"
"Well then, I won't stand on ceremony with you."
"You're paying for anything over 200 yen!"
Twenty minutes later, Zenji Qing stood beside the Well of Time, a look of inquiry on his face, constantly peering into the well, trying to find something different.
Grandma, the songstress, stood beside Zen Temple Qing. Her somewhat aged body trembled slightly as she gazed at the well and spoke softly:
"I've watched over this well my whole life, and nothing strange has ever happened before. But since you came, Xiaoqing, such a big thing has occurred. It seems…"
Before her grandmother could finish speaking, the songstress immediately interrupted:
"Grandma! This has nothing to do with Xiaoqing, right? He didn't intentionally want the well to have problems!"
Seeing her granddaughter's protective attitude, the songstress shook her head with a smile, then patted the songstress's head and scolded her in an annoyed tone:
"You silly granddaughter, when did I say this was Xiaoqing's responsibility? What I mean is, it seems that this well is indeed related to Xiaoqing. Perhaps the meaning of our clan guarding this well will be revealed in your generation."
Hearing this, the songstress subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. Then she glanced at Zenin Sei and whispered to her grandmother:
"Grandma, don't talk so dramatically next time! It made me think you were trying to shift the blame for this onto Xiaoqing!"
"You stupid granddaughter, do you really think I'm that kind of person?"
The songstress stuck out her tongue, and at that moment, Zenji Kiyoshi suddenly noticed a slight fluctuation in the surrounding magical energy.
Immediately afterwards, a familiar feeling welled up in my heart—the unique sensation that comes with the arrival of the balancing mechanism!
However, this time Zenji Qing did not immediately let the songstress and the others leave. He could sense that the balancing mechanism seemed to be completely confined within that well by some force.
As long as you don't jump in yourself, you won't be affected.
But at that moment, Zenji Kiyoshi suddenly felt a repulsive force coming from the well, as if it extremely disliked his arrival.
Upon seeing this, Zenji Qing smiled.
He always believed in the saying that the more the enemy opposes something, the more determined he must be to persist.
The voice of Orochi echoed in my mind, a voice tinged with excitement:
"Xiaoqing, did you notice the words that are lit up next to that well? That's a kind of barrier technique that has been lost for a long time. I saw the same thing at the top of Mount Fuji a long time ago."
However, the inscriptions on the top of Mount Fuji were made of a material similar to steel, but I'm sure they're exactly the same as the inscriptions next to this well!
Can you decipher the writing? If so, we should be able to unlock the secret of this well!
Listening to Orochi's words in his mind, Zenji Kiyoshi looked at the glowing characters, but unfortunately, he didn't recognize any of them.
Rather than resembling words, those things are more like simple line drawings.
The writing was extremely ancient and abstract; rather than being written characters, it resembled a series of constantly flowing and changing incantation symbols, which flickered with a faint silver light, like breathing.
Zen Monk Qing looked at the text with a focused mind and felt that it was becoming increasingly familiar.
Mount Fuji, inscriptions, steel artifacts from two thousand years ago...
Could it be something from aliens?
The moment this thought popped into his mind, Zenjiro Kiyoshi felt that all his questions had been answered.
This well is indeed related to the aliens that Lu Suo mentioned!
"In that case..." Zenji Sei pondered for a moment, then said to the songstress behind him:
"Songstress, I'm going down there for a bit. You take everyone and leave this place first. When Gojo arrives, if I still haven't come out, have Gojo jump down and look for me."
Having said that, Zenji Qing didn't give the songstress a time to reply before leaping into the ancient well.
A feeling of weightlessness came over him, but he didn't feel like he was hitting the bottom for a long time. The well seemed to have no end. Moreover, Zenji Qing also found that his falling speed was increasing, and it was getting faster than normal.
The surrounding environment also changed from the dim well walls at the beginning to a substance that emitted strange colors and was close to flowing water.
He tried to reach out, but was bounced back by a strange force. However, Zenji Kiyoshi could also sense that the force of the bounce was not actually strong.
If I wanted to, I could forcefully break through this rebound at any time.
So Zen-in-shiki slightly tore open the membrane in front of him and entered the well wall that was emitting a strange glow.
As a familiar dizzying sensation washed over him, before Zenjiro could even grasp the situation, an extremely dazzling bolt of dark purple lightning struck him head-on.
The lightning was extremely fast, and by the time Zenji Qing reacted, it was too late to dodge it.
The Limitless Technique was activated immediately. The lightning bolt stopped about half a meter away from Zen Monk's body and could not advance any further.
An aged voice came, tinged with a hint of melancholy:
"It's truly astonishing that I would encounter such a powerful figure as you as I am about to die of old age."
Zen Monk Qing looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old man with his hair in a bun and purple lightning crackling around his body.
The old man had some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and Zenji Qing recognized him the moment he saw him.
Lu Ziyun 1.
Chapter-408
Looking at the old man before me, although the years had etched deep lines on his face and his hair was now gray, his signature bun, his arrogant and unruly eyes, and his surging, pure destructive lightning-attribute magical power still stood out.
Every detail reveals his identity: the strongest figure in the Edo period, four hundred years after the Heian period, a leader of the era like Gojo Satoru and Sukuna.
Thor: Lu Ziyun I!
"Lu Ziyun?"
Zenjiro's voice carried a hint of surprise. He wasn't too surprised, but he felt it was somewhat of a coincidence.
After all, once you jump into the Well of Time, you're bound to encounter some figures from the long river of history.
He just didn't expect that the time he randomly chose would coincidentally lead him to the characters from the original work.
"oh?"
Hearing Zen Monastery's words, a hint of surprise flashed in Lu Ziyun's turbid yet still sharp eyes, which then turned into excitement at finding interesting prey.
"It seems you recognize me, so that means you weren't just wandering around aimlessly and bumping into my unlucky self, right?"
As Lu Ziyun spoke, she carefully examined Chan Yuanqing, lingering for a long time, especially on the lingering fluctuations of the still-unresolved limitless spell.
He looked at Zen-in-ori and analyzed with a slight smile:
"The way you blocked my lightning just now was very interesting. Was it a technique with no limits? Only the Gojo family knows this technique, and it hasn't appeared on anyone else yet."
But as far as I know, no one in the Gojo family possesses your strength. Who exactly are you?
Hearing Lu Ziyun's words, Chanyuan Qing smiled and then replied calmly:
"These things have nothing to do with our battle. What's the point of you asking about them?"
Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Lu Ziyun's face. He slowly stood up from the tree stump he was sitting on. The lightning on his body suddenly surged, and his aged body seemed to swell, emanating an indescribable sense of oppression.
"You're right, all this nonsense is meaningless to our battle. I probably won't live past today, so at least let me have a good fight with a strong person like you before I die!"
"Before this old body of mine completely turns to dust, it is truly exciting to be able to fight a powerful figure like you!"
A terrifying magical power erupted from Lu Ziyun's aged body, and dark purple lightning danced like a raging dragon. Even the aftershocks tore the surrounding trees to pieces.
Moreover, perhaps because she knew her time was running out, the lightning emanating from Lu Ziyun's body now carried an even more destructive sense of oppression!
It's somewhat like the ultimate sublimation of emperors in novels.
Zenji Qing looked at Lu Ziyun in front of him and could clearly feel the pure and powerful force emanating from her.
A smile appeared on his face at this moment. To be honest, after obtaining so many people's techniques and spell power, Zenji Qing has not yet fought a truly powerful person.
It's impossible for Gojo Satoru to truly fight him to the death, and as for Sukuna, there's no point in fighting him before he's fully recovered.
The current situation of Lu Ziyun is the best touchstone for me. Zen Yuanqing also wants to see just how far I have come.
"The Zen temple is serene."
Looking at the old man before him, Zenji Qing chose to give his name. His incantation power began to rise, and the incantation power domain of the Heavenly Turning and Merciless Body unfolded, radiating an aura like the sun.
That aura was currently rivaling Lu Ziyun's Hidden Purple Lightning.
"Now that you know my name, I won't waste any more words. Kill me, or be killed by me! Let's enjoy this!"
As soon as Lu Ziyun finished speaking, the two figures moved at the same time!
Although Lu Ziyun was already very old at this time, her speed was still outrageously fast. Her aged body was now rushing forward with the force of thunder, and wherever she passed, whether it was trees or rocks, they were torn to pieces by the violent lightning.
However, Zenji Qing did not show any intention of dodging when faced with Lu Ziyun's attack.
He charged directly at Lu Ziyun, unleashing his unrestrained magic once more. At the same time, he formed hand seals, combining exquisite manipulation of incantations with his powerful physical strength to meet the raging thunder that had traversed four hundred years!
Ancient powerhouses and future titans clashed in this moment!
"Good timing!"
Seeing Zenjiro's completely unyielding movements, a look of excitement flashed in Lu Ziyun's eyes. He had originally worried that Zenjiro would choose the method of delaying, making the battle boring.
But he didn't expect that Zenji Kiyoshi would choose to confront him head-on!
He laughed wildly as he swung his arm, covered in a berserk lightning spell, like a steel whip. If it hit, Zenji Qing's entire body would be turned into a bloody mist by the violent lightning.
"boom!"
Their fists collided, but there was no dull thud from the impact of flesh against flesh.
The moment their attacks collided, a roar like an explosion was produced.
That was an explosion resulting from the collision of two extreme spell powers. Golden and dark purple spell power flames shot into the sky, and the resulting shock wave spread in a ring, forcibly shearing down a layer of ground within tens of meters around!
Smoke and dust filled the air, and pebbles flew everywhere. In that instant, almost half of the entire forest was uprooted!
The two separated immediately upon contact, each taking several steps back, the ground beneath their feet cracking inch by inch. However, Chan Yuanqing regained his footing after only two steps back, while Lu Ziyun took three steps back!
This time, in a clash of pure power and magical energy, Lu Ziyun was actually at a disadvantage.
"Hahahaha! This is really exciting!"
Lu Ziyun burst into wild laughter. His aged face was now marred by standing white hairs, and the lightning covering his body shone even brighter.
"Your physical strength and the quality of your magical power far exceed my expectations! There are still monsters like you in this era!"
Zenjiro shook his slightly numb arm, a hint of apprehension showing on his face.
Despite his advanced age and frail health, his opponent still possessed such terrifying power. Moreover, he was not as relaxed as he appeared. Lu Ziyun's attacks were mixed with a considerable amount of lightning, and his body was now somewhat numb.
Although the body, weakened by the cruel hand of fate, continues to heal its wounds, this numbness, if allowed to accumulate, will eventually put it at a disadvantage.
"Spell Reversal - Azure!"
A powerful gravitational field instantly formed around Zenji Qing, who attempted to forcibly pull Lu Ziyun over and end the battle as quickly as possible.
Chapter-409
"interesting!"
Feeling the strong gravitational pull emanating from Zen Temple Qing, Lu Ziyun merely revealed a somewhat ferocious smile on her face.
Without much hesitation or choosing to create distance, he directly squeezed his own magical power to its limit.
As the lightning on its body gradually changed from blue-purple to red-black, the violent power almost tore the entire ground apart.
Each flash of lightning can blast a crater several meters in radius into the ground.
Zen Temple Qing looked at Lu Ziyun not far away, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
As expected, he was the strongest person four hundred years ago. His magical power, combat intelligence, and mental fortitude were all at the top level.
When most people see the Azure, their first instinct is to keep their distance to avoid being affected by its gravitational pull.
In doing so, they would fall completely into Zenin Kiyoshi's fighting rhythm.
It's not that keeping distance is wrong; if you're facing a powerful opponent, then keeping distance is the best option.
Zenji Qing's incantation power is not infinite; it is impossible to endlessly expand Cang's gravitational range. As long as the distance is far enough, Cang will indeed be unable to affect the other party.
The key issue is that Zenjiro is able to release multiple Cangs to lock onto targets in an instant.
More importantly, Cang's movement speed is actually not bad. As long as he tries to create distance, he will definitely be pulled into Zenin Kiyoshi's battle rhythm by the constantly approaching multiple Cangs in the subsequent battle.
Once you reach that point, Zen-in-Chiyo's victory is practically guaranteed.
However, Lu Ziyun was different. The moment he faced Cang, his first choice was just like when Nine-Tails Naruto faced Chibaku Tensei: to directly destroy the core of gravity with an absolutely powerful attack.
Because of Cang's terrifying gravity, Lu Ziyun's attacks basically didn't need to be aimed at all. Even attacks aimed in the opposite direction would be directly attracted to Cang.
Looking at the raging red and black lightning, Zenji Qing grinned and then threw the Cang sword in his hand.
A dazzling blue sphere swept forward, completely erasing everything in its path, from trees to the ground.
The turbulent lightning collided with the blue sphere, a clash of pure magical power.
The two were evenly matched for a moment, and the terrifying shockwave generated from the center of their collision sheared off more than half a meter of the surrounding ground, and this was only the beginning.
The moment Zen-in-Chiyo unleashed the Azure Dragon, another crimson light appeared on the tip of his right finger.
"Spell Reversal - Heh!"
Cang is just an appetizer. Since we can't control the rhythm of the battle by setting up Cang's gravitational field, we should change our strategy in time and use it as a prerequisite for launching Zi.
However, at that very moment, as if he had seen through Zen Monk Qing's thoughts, the lightning on Lu Ziyun's body disappeared instantly, and in its place was a dazzling lightning bolt that was extremely condensed!
"Hahaha! That's it, kid, let me have some more fun! Let me get even more excited!"
Along with Lu Ziyun's somewhat manic voice came a bolt of lightning that seemed to illuminate the entire sky.
At this moment, Lu Ziyun had almost completely transformed into a bolt of lightning, and in this instant, he had become a spear that seemed to pierce through the world.
In the next instant, Lu Ziyun's speed completely exceeded the limits of what the eyes could capture. Time seemed to stand still at that moment, with only that dark red lightning spear shooting towards Zen Temple Qing!
Zenjiro felt the terrifying attack coming towards him. This was the most powerful attack he had faced since he transmigrated to the world of magic!
Sensing the terror of the attack before him, Zenji Kiyoshi's pupils contracted slightly. Without any hesitation, he directly used the Limitless Technique to its fullest extent!
However, to Zenji Qing's surprise, the lightning spear that Lu Ziyun had condensed actually chose to split apart before it even touched his infinite power.
The dazzling lightning spear suddenly transformed into hundreds of tiny lightning snakes, bypassing Zenju Qing's front and attacking him from all directions!
Lu Ziyun was extremely experienced in combat, and he had already discerned the defensive power of the Limitless Technique during the first attack.
However, because information was relatively limited during the Edo period, he did not know that "no limit" meant no blind spots in protection. Even if he chose to use this method, he could not break through that infinite existence.
However, Lu Ziyun had obviously prepared Plan B long ago. After realizing that his split attack could not harm Chan Yuanqing, he appeared in front of Chan Yuanqing once again, and the scattered lightning around him instantly converged!
Since we can't achieve breakthroughs in multiple areas, let's concentrate all our efforts on one point and then make a breakthrough!
No matter what kind of technique it is, as long as it requires incantation to operate, there will always be a day when it is destroyed.
"Tsk!"
Sensing the terrifying magical power emanating from Lu Ziyun, Chanyuan Qing shook his head slightly and gave up on maintaining the limitless spell.
While continuing this kind of head-to-head battle would definitely give one side the advantage, doing so would be far too boring.
If you stand still and take the beating like a turtle, then this battle becomes a simple contest of magical power.
The moment the limitless spell was canceled, He, who had been knocked away earlier, merged with Cang.
As a dazzling purple light appeared, the entire forest was completely destroyed in that instant.
Sensing the terrifying fluctuation coming from behind her, Lu Ziyun's expression changed instantly. Her figure then moved rapidly like a phantom, instantly teleporting hundreds of meters away in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, he waved his hands, and dark red lightning acted as a barrier to clear away the aftershocks of the attack.
However, a stray blade still managed to strike the corner of her clothing, and this single attack left Lu Ziyun with a bloody hole.
Despite the pain emanating from his body, Lu Ziyun's smile grew even more manic. He gazed at Chan Yuanqing, a happy and warm smile spreading across his face.
In the presence of an absolute powerhouse, he could feel his lonely heart being constantly melted and warmed.
He had a premonition that he could get the answer he wanted from the boy in front of him.
What exactly is love?
He had originally intended to ask Su Nuo for the answer to this question.
Chapter-410
"Kid, in the upcoming battle, I might choose to finish it quickly. After all, I'm getting old and my stamina isn't what it used to be. Stay focused and don't let a single moment slip by, or you really will die here!"
A satisfied smile graced Lu Ziyun's face.
He looked at Zen Temple Qing, his voice full of calm and satisfaction. The next moment, the way the power of the spell on his body operated changed almost completely.
If the flow of magical power in Lu Ziyun's body was previously like a car running along a road, with a pattern that could be followed, then now the flow of magical power in Lu Ziyun's body has become like a fighter jet soaring freely in the sky.
There is absolutely no pattern to be found; it is completely unrestrained and powerful.
"I will die after using this move. I originally intended to save it for Sukuna, but it seems that giving it to you now makes no difference."
Lu Ziyun glanced at the Zen Master Qing in front of her and felt the powerful aura emanating from him. His wrinkled smile seemed to have become younger at this moment.
Why will you die after using this move? What are the reasons and causes?
At this moment, Zen Temple Qing did not feel the urgency one would feel when facing a life-or-death enemy. Instead, he had the leisure to be curious about Lu Ziyun's moves.
Lu Ziyun made no attempt to hide anything from Chan Yuanqing's curiosity, and instead explained frankly to him:
"The name of this spell is [Phantom Beast Amber]. It is an irreversible transformation process that turns me into lightning. During the duration of the spell, I am almost immune to most attacks. At the same time, both the strength of the spell and my own speed will be increased to their peak at this moment."
When I was young, I could use the Reversal Technique to continuously repair myself, so that I could maintain my physical body even after the technique ended. But now that I am old, I can no longer use the Reversal Technique to maintain my physical body in battle.
Moreover, doing that would definitely affect the battle, which would make me feel too bored.
Are you satisfied with this answer, you little brat?
Zen Temple Qing looked at Lu Ziyun in front of him, grinned, then nodded and then shook his head:
"Satisfied, but also somewhat dissatisfied."
Hearing Zen Master Qing's words, Lu Ziyun's face showed a look of curiosity, and he asked:
"You inexplicable bastard, I won't show you any mercy. If you die here, you can only blame your bad luck!"
Looking at Lu Ziyun who was about to rush over, Zen Temple Qingze slowly and deliberately said:
"What I'm satisfied with is your explanation to me, while what I'm not satisfied with is that I can't have a peak performance against a strong person like you. Defeating someone as old and frail as you is not the scene I want to see!"
So... Lu Ziyun, unleash your greatest power and fight me without any hesitation!
The realm expands; the heavens turn, and the Buddha's body, devoid of compassion, is revealed!
As Zenjiro's voice fell, the surrounding space was instantly surrounded by clusters of black barriers. These were the canvases that appeared when the domain was deployed. The next moment, countless streams of blood spread from Zenjiro's feet, almost instantly engulfing the entire space.
The viscous blood almost instantly engulfed the world in front of Lu Ziyun's eyes; everything he could see was covered in blood.
The next moment, a few ripples appeared in the sea of blood beneath the feet of Zen Temple Qing. As the space trembled, a huge and dilapidated Buddha head slowly emerged from behind him. The Buddha's eyes were fully open, filled with pity for the world, but upon closer inspection, they also seemed to be the majesty and murderous intent of an angry Vajra!
As a crescent moon, as red as a sickle, hung at the top of this space, Zen-in-kyō's voice rang out once more, carrying an unprecedented excitement:
"This is my domain. Within this space, the Reversal Technique will provide us with constant overtreatment. When we have wounds, they will be healed instantly. However, if we remain in a wound-free state for a long time, the powerful healing ability of the Reversal Technique will cause our skin and flesh to begin to peel and rot."
In other words, in this space, you can fight me without any scruples!
As Zen Master Qing finished speaking, Lu Ziyun instantly felt the omnipresent warmth filling his entire body.
While those powers brought healing, they also carried an overload of treatment that seemed to engulf people. But for Lu Ziyun at this moment, these powers were perfect. The instant the life force was injected into his aged body, he could feel every cell in his body emitting bursts of excited roars.
"Hahaha! I'm so incredibly lucky, I'm almost moved to tears! If I could, I'd love to fight alongside you in this field forever..."
As Lu Ziyun felt the changes in his body, he looked at the Zen Temple and let out a laugh that was hard to describe as either happy or wistful.
Regardless of the type, Zenji Kiyoshi could feel the joy and excitement in that smile.
"Kid, you really are an interesting fellow. To die in a place like this is the greatest happiness."
The next moment, Lu Ziyun no longer hesitated or cared about slowing down the rate of physical collapse. Instead, she poured all her magical power into an extreme attack rhythm!
As Lu Ziyun moved, the dark purple lightning on her body, which had initially appeared somewhat dim, suddenly erupted, becoming unprecedentedly hot and dazzling.
"[Mythical Beast - Amber]! Unleash!!"
Irreversible changes do not mean they are irreparable.
Just like Gojo Satoru's final battle with Sukuna in Shinjuku, when the technique was broken, the entire brain was directly destroyed, and then the brain was repaired to avoid the technique breaking.
The same method can be used to avoid the problem with Lu Ziyun's amber.
Since the flesh can be transformed into lightning by the amber, then after the arm is transformed, just cut off the arm and use the reversal technique to grow another arm to be transformed again!
When Lu Ziyun was young, she used this method to avoid transformation. Now, with the help of Zen Temple Qing's domain, Lu Ziyun is able to completely entrust this task to Zen Temple Qing.
This means that Lu Ziyun can unleash even more terrifying fighting power than when she was young!
This time, he completely burned away everything he had!
The flesh and blood body became transparent in the lightning, as if it had truly transformed into the purest and most terrifying lightning in the world!
