Hanami was still blankly searching for Satoru’s figure when it suddenly felt its shoulder being tapped, and a chill instantly shot from the soles of its feet straight to the top of its head.
“Who?!” Without even turning its head, it decisively released countless branches behind it while charging forward to create distance.
After putting dozens, or even over a hundred meters of distance between them, Hanami finally dared to turn back, wanting to see who had just tapped its shoulder.
Sure enough, a man with a full head of white hair had returned to the battlefield, and those blue eyes flashed with a provocative look.
“Looking for me?
I’m back, and I even brought a loyal spectator for the two of us.” Yuji looked completely bewildered, constantly scanning his surroundings.
Seeing Hanami standing in the distance, he turned his head and asked Satoru, “Gojo -sensei, is this your opponent?” Satoru nodded, still maintaining that calm and indifferent demeanor.
“Don’t let its look fool you, this one is a Special Grade Cursed Spirit, and it is countless times stronger than the one you fought last time.” “That strong?!
Gojo-sensei, can you win?” Yuji’s eyes widened as he recalled the Special Grade Cursed Spirit with black and white stripes he had faced at the juvenile detention center.
At that time, the Special Grade Cursed Spirit had toyed with him, easily severing his palm at the root, and with a casual strike, left him in a near-death state.
Even knowing that Satoru was very strong, Yuji still inevitably felt worried for him.
If the opponent was so strong, Satoru might get hurt, and there was also himself, a dead weight.
Satoru put his blindfold back on, the corners of his lips curling into a confident smile.
His Cursed Energy circulated continuously, and Infinity kept wrapping around himself and Yuji without interruption.
“I will win.” “You brought a dead weight along?
Truly like you, Gojo.
Come, take this attack of mine.” Hanami let out a roar, and countless thick branches erupted from behind it, spreading toward Satoru and Yuji.
Additionally, the ground beneath the two shattered with a boom, and sharp wooden spikes pierced out, wanting to skewer them.
In this critical situation, not only did Satoru not make any defensive posture, but he turned his head instead.
“Yuji, do you know what a Domain is?” Yuji felt waves of immense Cursed Energy surging toward them.
He had been a bit panicked, but after seeing Satoru so calm, he relaxed.
“I vaguely know, it’s a barrier constructed using Cursed Energy, the trump card of every powerful Jujutsu Sorcerer, right?” Satoru gave a thumbs up.
“Exactly.
Don’t you want to see my Domain?” “Of course, Gojo-sensei, you are so powerful, I really do want to see it.” Hearing Yuji’s praise, Satoru immediately became carried away.
He reached out his right hand and made a gesture in front of him.
“Very well, then I will show you today what a real Domain is.” “Domain Expansion: Unlimited Void!” In an instant, the surrounding space seemed to freeze, all things fell silent, and every sound vanished without a trace.
Hanami, who had intended to attack, was suddenly frozen in place, its brain being frantically bombarded by endless, chaotic information.
It wanted to forcibly gather its consciousness, but was powerless to do so.
Every thought was enveloped by a vast amount of chaotic information, making it impossible to form any effective action.
Even with the mental strength of a Special Grade Cursed Spirit, it could not withstand such a massive influx of information.
It was soon forced to give up thinking, and its brain began to devote all its effort to digesting this data.
Satoru released his hand from Yuji.
His Domain Expansion, “Unlimited Void,” was an AOE attack that made no distinction between friend or foe.
Regardless of which side they were on, anyone within the domain’s range would be hit by “Unlimited Void” and their brain would crash on the spot.
Those who were in physical contact with him could remain unaffected within the range of “Unlimited Void,” such as Yuji, who had been touched by him the entire time.
Watching Hanami being frozen in place, Kenjaku, on the mountaintop, had no intention of intervening to save it.
He smiled: “They really did come.
Daring to intervene to save someone even when facing Gojo…
the bond is truly deep.” Hmm…
wait, that’s not right?
Kenjaku’s previously narrowed eyes widened at this moment as he looked at the tall man with surprise.
Even with his thousand years of composure, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of strangeness.
Is this Jogo?
How did he take on a human form?
Why has his appearance changed so drastically.?
Did Mahito use Idle Transfiguration to help him change his image?
And why has the total amount of Cursed Energy in his body suddenly increased so much?
Although Kenjaku had all sorts of doubts in his heart, he forcibly suppressed them and quietly watched the further development of the battlefield.
Watching Hanami standing motionless on the spot, Satoru grinned and gave Yuji a push.
“Yuji, hurry up.
Go up there and observe this Special Grade Cursed Spirit carefully.
This is a rare opportunity, you rarely get to see such a strong Special Grade Cursed Spirit.” Yuji was just about to move when in the very next moment, a huge object resembling a flower suddenly appeared beneath their feet.
In Satoru’s slightly surprised gaze, this flower-like object bloomed, spewing out extremely high-temperature flames that engulfed both him and Yuji.
Satoru condensed a shield with his Cursed Energy to briefly block the flames, while carrying Yuji and retreating rapidly.
Because he had just activated his domain, Satoru was currently in the Cursed Technique burnout phase, unable to use his Cursed Technique.
Although resolving the trouble of the Cursed Technique burnout only required removing the burned-out part of the brain and repairing it again with Reverse Cursed Technique, Jogo’s surprise attack came too suddenly, leaving him no time to repair his brain.
Moreover, he had Yuji, a dead weight, with him.
“Hahaha, Gojo Satoru.” A fiery red figure descended from the sky.
Countless flames flew towards Satoru, and pillars of fire erupted from beneath his feet as well.
Satoru’s expression changed.
Forced to interrupt the Reverse Cursed Technique he was casting, he grabbed Yuji by the neck and began to move rapidly.
After retreating for hundreds of meters, he finally stopped.
While using Reverse Cursed Technique with all his might, he kept his eyes on the attacker from just moments ago.
After sensing the opponent’s immense amount of Cursed Energy, he frowned slightly.
This was a bit troublesome now.
Many of his Cursed Techniques were still unusable.
He had thought that Special Grade Cursed Spirits like that muscular guy were rare, he hadn’t expected a stronger one to appear so quickly.
The opponent’s appearance came into view.
It was a humanoid creature about one meter ninety tall, with an appearance no different from a human, except for the striking dark blue skin.
A head of long, red hair fluttered in the wind.
That huge, golden eye that occupied almost half his face exuded dominance, and combined with his terrifying Cursed Energy fluctuations, he looked like a King of Fire.
Yuji was stunned.
He had thought the Special Grade Cursed Spirit he just encountered was already powerful enough.
He didn’t expect that this Special Grade Cursed Spirit that had appeared now would have a Cursed Energy reserve that was even comparable to double that of the previous Special Grade Cursed Spirit.
Jogo looked at the two people in front of him, feeling somewhat helpless in his heart.
He didn’t want to be exposed to the sight of Satoru and the others so quickly.
But he couldn’t just stay hidden.
After all, the Disaster Curses were allies with an incredibly good relationship, and Hanami was not weak, especially with its expertise in defense.
All these were reasons why he had to appear to save Hanami.
When he arrived at the scene, he had already sensed the figure with stitches on his forehead on the mountaintop, but he didn’t expect Kenjaku to help.
Kenjaku could not be exposed under any circumstances.
He would be the key to sealing Satoru, this alone was enough for Jogo to continue cooperating with him.
Now that Satoru had used his domain on Hanami, it meant that he was currently doing his best to use Reverse Cursed Technique to repair his brain, trying his best to get through the Cursed Technique burnout.
Jogo was familiar with this information and naturally understood the drawbacks of Domain Expansion but he didn’t want to reveal his trump cards so quickly.
Under the wary gaze of Satoru and the terrified gaze of Yuji, he hoisted Hanami onto his shoulder and ran away.
Before leaving, he didn’t forget to turn his head and blast a large amount of flames toward the direction where Satoru and Yuji were.
The casually released attack naturally couldn’t stop Satoru, but it did hinder his progress.
After all, without Infinity, even he dared not take the flames head-on with his physical body.
Yuji looked at the scorched earth and the branches and vines filling the sky, then looked down at his own fists and fell into deep thought.
Do I really have to use my fists to fight these guys who have special effects flying everywhere?
