"Flowing Red Scale."
Kenjaku activated the advanced version of Flowing Red Scale, further enhancing his physical abilities. A storm of fists completely enveloped Suguru.
Suguru gripped Playful Cloud at both ends, continuously blocking Kenjaku's attacks.
Kenjaku's fists repeatedly struck the hard Special Grade cursed tool, Playful Cloud.
The flesh on his fists was repeatedly torn apart by Playful Cloud, then repaired with Reverse Cursed Technique. Even the bones and joints in his hands shattered more than once.
But Kenjaku showed no intention of stopping. In this mont, he fully displayed his madness as a jujutsu sorcerer.
Pfft, pfft, pfft, crack, pfft.
Kenjaku's face was manic, completely disregarding his constantly injured hands and the blood he was losing.
This frenzied assault left Suguru no room to think about anything else.
However, Suguru was not anxious, because if things continued this way, his consumption would be far lower than Kenjaku's.
What he needed to do now was maintain a solid defense, bide his ti, and signal the start of his counterattack.
But clearly, Kenjaku had no intention of giving him that chance.
"Blood Manipulation: Crimson Bind."
The blood still flowing from Kenjaku's hands, the large amount of flesh residue on Playful Cloud, and the blood scattered across the ground from their previous fight all began to gather.
This blood, infused with Kenjaku's Cursed Energy, transford into crimson ropes that tightly bound Playful Cloud.
"What!"
Suguru imdiately summoned a Cursed Spirit engulfed in flas, intending to burn away the crimson ropes on Playful Cloud.
But it was already too late.
"Blood Manipulation: Blood Rain."
A mass of strangely colored blood exploded in the air, enveloping Suguru like raindrops.
Suguru imdiately let go of Playful Cloud, intending to escape the range of the blood rain.
But Kenjaku would not give him that opportunity.
"Anti-Gravity System: Cursed Technique Reversal."
The gravity around Suguru suddenly doubled, causing his steps to falter and preventing him from completely evading the blood rain.
At the sa ti, Kenjaku gripped the crimson ropes and yanked hard, throwing Playful Cloud far away.
"Hmm?"
Kenjaku suddenly felt as if the ground beneath him had moved.
The next second, a giant worm Cursed Spirit suddenly burst out of the earth.
Rows of spiraling, sharp teeth, like a at grinder, tried to completely shred Kenjaku.
A bird-shaped Cursed Spirit with gorgeous feathers, yet filled with an ominous aura, appeared beside Suguru.
Purple-black feathers, clearly containing potent poison, fell onto the areas where Suguru had been hit by the blood rain.
The mont the blood rain touched his body, Suguru understood its effect.
It was a blood rain containing potent poison.
Even with his body protected by Cursed Energy, the cursed poison within would dissolve through it, then corrupt his blood and flesh.
Therefore, Suguru imdiately took counterasures.
Grade 1 Imaginary Cursed Spirit: Chin.
A Cursed Spirit born from people's fear of the legendary poisonous bird, Chin.
Not only were Chin's feathers poisonous, but its entire body was laced with toxins.
Furthermore, Chin itself could use its Cursed Technique to create different types of poison as needed.
At this mont, Suguru relied on Chin's poisonous Cursed Technique, manifested as feathers, to neutralize the corrupting poison in Kenjaku's blood rain through a thod of fighting poison with poison.
Bang.
While Suguru was detoxifying, Kenjaku was not idle. He used a blood-colored longsword condensed from Blood Manipulation to dismber the worm Cursed Spirit.
The two returned to a standoff.
Crack, crackle.
Ootengu's Domain shattered.
This ti, the surroundings transford into a space resembling a temple. An elephant-headed stone statue appeared behind Suguru.
This was the Special Grade Imaginary Cursed Spirit, Elephant-Headed God, which Kenjaku had accidentally captured in India years ago.
"What a rich collection."
Kenjaku's tone contained both helplessness and greed.
Although these Cursed Spirits would regain their freedom and rampage after Suguru's death, if he handled it well, he should be able to keep a portion of them.
From the current situation, it would not be difficult for him to win while maintaining a certain condition.
His injuries were almost fully healed, but Suguru's injuries showed no signs of recovery.
According to Kenjaku's intelligence, Suguru did not possess Reverse Cursed Technique.
"The feeling is mutual. I should thank you for your great help. Eichi said many of these Cursed Spirits were given by you."
Suguru smiled and waved his hand.
"Why aren't you using Yamata no Orochi?"
"There's no need for that."
"Then I really am being underestimated."
Both sides fell into a brief silence, then charged at each other simultaneously.
Suguru did so because he had only one Cursed Spirit left that could unleash a Domain Expansion, and he needed to decide the outco quickly. At the very least, he needed to destroy the opponent's open-barrier Domain.
Kenjaku was in a similar situation. Domain Expansion itself consud a large amount of Cursed Energy, let alone maintaining a Domain for a long ti.
On top of that, he also needed to reserve Cursed Energy to deal with Yamata no Orochi, capture the Cursed Spirits that would scatter after Suguru's death, and secure his retreat, so Kenjaku had to be extrely frugal with his remaining Cursed Energy.
Crack.
The Domain of the Special Grade Imaginary Cursed Spirit, Elephant-Headed God, shattered.
The effect of Kenjaku's Domain began to take hold on Suguru.
Suguru's arms began to twist, and his body movents beca increasingly unnatural.
'I won.'
Kenjaku casually cut the Cursed Spirit released by Suguru in half, then clasped his hands together and aid at Suguru in the distance.
"Convergence: Piercing Blood!"
Wisps of energy were squeezed out from Kenjaku's hands due to the increased pressure.
At this mont, a familiar face, also covered in stitches, appeared before Kenjaku.
It turned out that Mahito had previously changed his body shape into an insect and hidden inside the Cursed Spirit that Kenjaku had just cut in half.
While Kenjaku clasped his hands, preparing to activate his Cursed Technique, Mahito suddenly reverted to his original form and gently held Kenjaku's forehead with both hands.
"Surprise. Do you like the surprise I prepared for you?"
The next second, Kenjaku felt an intense pain from his soul.
This was because Kenjaku had protected his soul with Cursed Energy in ti.
If Kenjaku's movents had been a little slower just now, he might have turned into a kappa or a platypus.
"Long ti no see. It seems you've been doing well recently, Mahito."
Kenjaku narrowed his eyes at Mahito behind him.
"Now I have free food and lodging, plus a bunch of beautiful Cursed Spirits for company. Life is indeed good."
Mahito continued attacking Kenjaku's soul, but only maintained the attack.
Kenjaku roughly guessed Mahito's thoughts. While maintaining Cursed Energy protection around his soul, he controlled the Domain to kill Suguru as quickly as possible.
But the next second, he found that Suguru's injuries had stabilized.
Although Suguru was severely injured now, his life was no longer in danger.
"Reverse Cursed Technique?"
Kenjaku looked at Suguru, his tone full of questions. However, this question was actually directed at Mahito.
"Huh? So the Great Cult Leader also knows Reverse Cursed Technique. How amazing."
This was also the first ti Mahito had seen Suguru use Reverse Cursed Technique.
Only a few people knew about Suguru's ability to use Reverse Cursed Technique, and his own Reverse Cursed Technique efficiency was too low. He also could not output it externally.
So he never used Reverse Cursed Technique in the Ti Vessel Association.
He himself was very strong, and his family mbers were too capable, so he had never encountered a situation where he needed to use Reverse Cursed Technique.
At this mont, Reverse Cursed Technique played a huge role.
Seeing this, Mahito silently began to increase his intensity.
Kenjaku also understood Mahito's intention.
The attack had not been very strong earlier because he thought he could kill Suguru first.
Now that he could not kill him, continuing to slack off would easily lead to punishnt from his master.
Just then, a colossal figure enveloped the man and the Cursed Spirit, and eight terrifying orbs completely surrounded them.
Mahito: "No way, are you going to blow up too?"
