Although his Black Flash was only at the “entry level,” it was enough!
The space seemed to distort for a moment.
Black lightning crackled and exploded around his fist!
“Hmm?”
Sukuna’s pupils constricted slightly.
He felt the difference in this punch.
But it was already too late to dodge.
“Bang!!!”
A solid punch!
It slammed directly into Sukuna’s face!
Time seemed to stand still.
Megumi Fushiguro’s mouth hung open, his jaw nearly hitting the floor.
“He…
he landed a hit?!”
“He hit that Ryomen Sukuna?!”
“And right in the face?!”
“Is this guy a monster?!”
“Boom—”
Sukuna was sent reeling back over ten meters by the punch, his feet plowing two deep furrows into the ground until he crashed into a wall and stopped.
The dust settled.
Sukuna slowly raised his head.
His cheek was slightly swollen, and a trace of blood leaked from the corner of his mouth.
But he was laughing.
A laugh that was incredibly hideous and utterly insane.
“Hahahahahaha!!!”
“Good!
Very good!”
“A mere ant actually managed to wound me!”
“The flow of Cursed Energy was crude, but that momentary explosive power…”
Sukuna stuck out his tongue and licked the blood from the corner of his mouth.
The action was sinister to the extreme.
“Brat, your name.”
Lin Ye stood where he was, shaking his slightly numb hand.
“Lin Ye.”
“Remember this name, because in the future, I will be your nightmare.”
Lin Ye said, acting like a total badass.
In reality, he was cursing internally.
“Holy crap!
My hand hurts so much!”
“Is this guy’s face made of iron?”
“I put everything into that punch!
And it’s only slightly swollen?”
“Is this the gap in physical strength?”
[Ding!
Congratulations to the host for successfully hitting Ryomen Sukuna!]
[Evaluation: Low damage, but highly insulting.]
[Additional rewards obtained: Constitution +10, Points +200.]
[Mission Progress: 2 minutes 30 seconds / 3 minutes.]
30 seconds left!
Just hold on for another 30 seconds, and that Blindfold Monster Satoru Gojo should be here!
Lin Ye took a deep breath and assumed a defensive stance.
Because he could feel that Sukuna across from him was truly getting serious this time.
That abyss-like, hellish killing intent made the surrounding temperature drop several degrees!
“Lin Ye, is it…”
Sukuna slowly raised his hand, a heart-palpitating mass of Cursed Energy condensing at his fingertips.
“Since you want to play so badly.”
“Then I’ll show you what true—Jujutsu is!”
Just then.
“Click, clack, click.”
A set of light footsteps suddenly echoed from the other end of the corridor.
These footsteps felt completely out of place on the tense battlefield.
Then.
A cheerful, flippant voice with a hint of playfulness rang out.
“Oh my, oh my~”
“Young people these days, making such a racket in the middle of the night.”
“Don’t you know it’s wrong to disturb the neighbors?”
Hearing this voice.
Megumi Fushiguro’s whole body jolted, a look of relief washing over his face.
“Teacher Gojo!”
Lin Ye also let out a sigh of relief and slumped onto the ground.
“Damn, finally here.”
“Any later and I would’ve been turned into meat paste.”
Under the moonlight.
A tall man with white hair, wearing a black uniform and a black blindfold, was strolling over leisurely, carrying a pink kikufuku bag.
Satoru Gojo.
The strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer of the modern era.
The ceiling of combat power.
He ignored the surrounding mess and the murderous Sukuna.
Instead, he walked up to Megumi Fushiguro first and shook the bag in his hand.
“Megumi~ Look, look!”
“A souvenir I bought in Sendai—kikufuku!”
“I had to queue for ages and almost missed the last train~”
Veins popped on Megumi Fushiguro’s forehead as he looked at his battered self and then at the relaxed Satoru Gojo.
“Then don’t go stand in line!”
“Do you have any idea how dangerous it was just now?!”
Satoru Gojo chuckled, showing no signs of remorse whatsoever.
Then.
He turned his head and, through his blindfold, looked at Lin Ye sitting on the ground.
In that instant.
Lin Ye felt a gaze that seemed to see right through him.
The “Six Eyes”?
Lin Ye’s heart tightened, but he maintained his lazy appearance on the surface.
“Yo, Blindfold Monster.”
“Are you here to collect the bodies?”
Satoru Gojo tilted his head, walked over to Lin Ye, and crouched down.
Their faces were very close.
“Oh my, this young man’s face is quite unfamiliar.”
“You’re not a student here, are you?”
“That Cursed Energy fluctuation just now…
was that you?”
Satoru Gojo pointed at the swelling on Sukuna’s face that hadn’t fully subsided yet.
“Did you do that?”
Lin Ye shrugged.
“My hand slipped.”
“I accidentally bumped into him.”
Satoru Gojo froze for a second before bursting into laughter.
“Hahahaha!”
“Hand slipped?
Good reason!
I like it!”
“To be able to’slip’ and hit Sukuna in the face, you’re quite the talent.”
With that, Satoru Gojo stood up and tossed the kikufuku bag to Megumi Fushiguro.
“Hold onto this; it’s my late-night snack.”
“Don’t ruin it.”
Then.
He slowly turned around to face Ryomen Sukuna.
His originally flippant aura vanished instantly.
Replacing it was the composure and confidence of an absolute powerhouse.
“Alright.”
“Although I’d love to chat more with this interesting young man.”
“But now, I need to deal with that rude fellow over there first.”
Sukuna looked at Satoru Gojo, the killing intent in his eyes intensifying.
“So you’re the so-called’strongest’?”
“You don’t look like much.”
Satoru Gojo held up a finger and wagged it.
“No, no, no.”
“I don’t just look strong.”
“I’m actually really strong.”
“And…”
A cocky curve formed at the corner of Satoru Gojo’s mouth.
“Dealing with you will only take ten seconds.”
…
The battle was on the verge of breaking out.
Or rather, it couldn’t be called a battle at all.
It was a one-sided beatdown.
Satoru Gojo vs.
a one-finger Sukuna.
It was like an adult playing with a child.
Lin Ye sat to the side, rubbing his wrist while opening the system panel.
[Ding!
Mission complete!]
