Chapter 123 This time, I’m the one holding you back.

While inside the tent, Masato and Kagome found the floating debris, but they were in no hurry to collect them in a woven bag.

The cursed spirit with blue hair in three braids turned his head and smiled at Geto Suguru, "Ah, it's almost time for us to put our plan into action."

Xia Yujie still had his hands in his pockets, with a normal attitude, and responded naturally: "How do you plan to arrange it?"

The little fox returned to Xia Yujie's shoulder and yawned slightly, wagging its tail, looking leisurely and out of touch with the world.

"I originally thought of tricking him into looking for his companions and settling somewhere. But after thinking about it, I realized that he might be able to sense whether there are special cursed spirits around." Zhenren said, "So, in order to avoid sleepiness at night, I might as well take action when we withdraw the money and gather together."

"When we meet him on patrol, he will probably relax subconsciously since he already trusts us." The real person raised his eyebrows and made a simple gesture, "At this moment, we will..."

His words have a lingering meaning, and those who understand will naturally understand.

"I see." Xia Yujie nodded slightly in response, and then asked, "Should we attack together, or one after the other?"

The real person put one hand on his chin, thought for a while, and said, "Let me go first - after all, you will be a little conspicuous if you summon the cursed spirit. So wait for me to attack first, and then you can finish off the attack."

"Okay." Xia Yujie smiled with narrowed eyes and said slowly, "——I'll finish the job."

After hearing Geto's reply, Masato nodded with satisfaction.

The real person simply laid out the process: "I will first try to break through the space barrier and touch the opponent directly. If he is still on guard, you will take advantage of his reaction moment to use the curse spirit to break the barrier directly from behind, giving me a second chance to touch him."

Xia Yujie nodded in response, but he was thinking about something else.

He thought: The real person's technique is to touch the soul, I am afraid I can't attack this guy's soul directly.

But since Lai was able to break Wu's limitless power, he should be able to attack the real one. Although I didn't see Lai's magical book...but it's probably still on him, just in a different form.

Or maybe Lai has other ways - in short, just believe in him.

Xia Yujie thought so, and he knew that Lai and Masato would definitely have a head-on conflict first, and then he would make a surprise attack to create an opportunity for Lai.

Masato and Kagome each have their own ideas for a plan, but Jiang Lai outside the account has already come up with another plan.

Inside the tent, Masato said that he was injured and asked Kagome Toshi to collect the fragments, and then gave him the woven bag.

Xia Yujie's expression remained unchanged. He smiled and said, "I rarely carry out debris collection tasks and am not very experienced. Just in case, it would be more appropriate for you to do it. After all, you also said that the woven bag containing the debris must be in your hands. This is the requirement of the regulatory committee."

"Don't worry, I will use other cursed spirits to protect you." He raised his deep purple eyes and said meaningfully, "Also, I think you should create some surface scars, so that the other party can relax their vigilance and it will be easier for us to carry out our plan."

Xia Yujie's speech was very perfect. He even summoned a cursed spirit for protection as soon as he finished speaking, and it surrounded the real person.

The blue-haired three-cursed spirit with shining eyes looked at the smiling Xia Youjie for a few seconds, then he tutted his tongue, and finally weighed the woven bag and stepped forward:

"Well, you're right. A little wound can actually make the other party relax their guard."

"It's okay to be slightly injured."

The real person looked relaxed, but his movements were much more cautious, so as to avoid the fragments from exploding into an energy wave like what happened last time when Uzumaki was in junior high school.

Even so, he was inevitably bounced back by the energy wave!

——Fortunately, the cursed spirits surrounding Geto helped to block the rebound wave a few times, making it less effective.

Seeing that Xia Yujie was really helping him, the slight doubt that had just surfaced in the real person was suppressed again. He wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, looked outside the tent, and raised the corners of his lips:

"Then we will have a pleasant cooperation next time."

——

Zhenren and Xia Youjie walked out of the tent and saw Jiang Lai standing in the distance.

Xia Youjie, who was lagging behind, raised his eyes and stared at Jiang Lai, who turned around, for half a second. Neither of them said much, but they could see some hints from each other's expressions.

——We will have a coordinated battle later.

The real person could have erased the external wolf scars by fabricating a soul, but he did not do so. Instead, he came over to say hello with some traces of the energy rebound wave.

"We have accomplished our mission!" The real person smiled brilliantly and waved his hand.

"Okay." The black-haired young man nodded. His eyes fell on the real person and paused for a moment. "Are you injured?"

"A little bit. I was careless just now." Zhenren stuck out his tongue. "This energy is a bit strange. It lingers around my body, making it impossible for me to repair the reversal technique immediately."

He made up a lie and used the scars on his body to create a false impression.

"Really?" The black-haired young man said with an expression of inconspicuous concern, "Do you need to rest?"

"I want to set off right away and take you out to find my companions." The real person showed enthusiasm and took the initiative to say, "How about you try to use your magic to isolate the power surrounding me?"

"Is this possible?" The black-haired young man frowned slightly, a little doubtful, but he still walked forward and stretched out his hand, "I can't sense anything at the moment, let me try."

The real person waited for Jiang Lai's hand to get closer, and when it moved closer, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Jiang Lai's wrist!

This time, Jiang Lai was not touched, because Jiang Lai's outstretched hand completely covered the space technique!

The black-haired young man raised his brown eyes!

The real person's eyes curved slightly, and he justified his abrupt behavior: "Oh, I thought about it, what if you touch that power and it is also dangerous? I wanted to grab your hand to stop you from touching mine."

The black-haired young man's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to stare at him calmly.

The real person showed a helpless yet sincere smile, but his body attacked again. He fabricated his own soul and turned his hands into electric drills, aiming at Jiang Lai and suddenly launched a more violent cursed impact!

The black-haired young man blocked the attack at an incredible speed, then suddenly raised his arm to swing it away. However, he looked like he hadn't reacted yet, and only blocked it subconsciously.

Facing the sudden attack from the real person, he took a few steps back to avoid it. While taking a step back, he did not notice the approach of another cursed spirit behind him.

The curse spirit operator controlled the gray shadow-like curse spirit and suddenly swallowed up Jiang Lai!

The Zhenren raised the corners of his lips and rushed forward, intending to launch a few more attacks while Xia Yujie's cursed spirit was trapping Jiang Lai.

Just as the three-braided blue-haired man approached the position where the gray shadow-like curse spirit was wrapping and swallowing him, before he could attack, the gray shadow curse spirit suddenly stretched out its extra tentacles and briefly grabbed him!

The real person was stunned for a moment, and his blue-gray eyes reflected Jiang Lai who emerged from the cursed spirit dilemma unscathed in front of him——

Jiang Lai moved his fingertips and flicked a fragment that was flashing light green into the real person's mouth from a distance!

The sudden flying fragments shocked the real person for a moment. He subconsciously wanted to change his soul to repair and eliminate it, but the small light green fragments melted in his mouth!

The real person did not realize what he had swallowed at first, until the next moment he suddenly felt a huge force that his soul could not bear -

"?!" The real person's expression suddenly changed.

How come there are extra pieces?!

His mind went blank for a moment, then he put the question behind him and looked at the smiling Kagome Geto beside him with a fierce look in his eyes.

At this moment, he has already noticed that Geto's stance is the opposite!

The cursed spirit that had just trapped the black-haired young man was simply a layer of delusion. It did not actually harm the other party, but was actually a trap to attract him!!

The power that an abnormal cursed spirit could bear surged in the body of the real person, impacting the soul again and again. The real person's body twisted violently and strangely, as if something was about to break out of his body.

The violent wave of power created by the fragments of the divine nature shook the surrounding air!

Jiang Lai originally planned to use space magic to hook away the woven bag containing fragments from the real person's waist from a distance, but the turbulent force interfered with the long-distance control of the magic.

So Jiang Lai walked forward a distance and nimbly tried to take away the woven bag to prevent the fragments inside from being blown away by the shock wave or causing an accidental fusion reaction.

With his soul being shocked, the real person could hardly control his body shape. His face changed in real time, and he looked extremely scary. Only his two heterochromatic pupils were fixed on Jiang Lai, burning with a certain gloom.

The fragments that mistakenly entered the cursed spirit's body vibrated more and more, and the scene twisted into a whirlpool. Jiang Lai was not afraid of the murderous threat, and he tried his best to speed up and move forward, ready to hook the woven bag with his fingers and leave!

However, the real person seemed to have exploded with some ultimate strength at the last moment, and his body twisted and deformed, grabbing the woven bag at an extremely high speed!

The fragments in the woven bag fell out, but the real person didn't care. He put on the woven bag and suddenly grabbed Jiang Lai's wrist!

The moment he was grabbed by the woven bag, Jiang Lai felt some kind of strange restraint. Although it was not enough to trap him, it made his movements stop for a moment!

Fortunately, he still used space magic to protect himself and did not come into contact with real people.

Jiang Lai quickly pushed away Zhenren's hand, picked up the large fragments on the ground with a space spell, and threw them to the liquid fox on the side who caught them with his tail!

However, this brief pause in movement prevented him from adjusting his body and evacuating the scene of the cursed power vortex.

At the critical moment, Jiang Lai felt someone pulling him from behind and pulling him out of the center circle!

Then, the gray shadow-like curse spirit suddenly expanded, and at the last moment, it enveloped them and the liquid fox that was rushing towards them with the debris!

The next second, a huge shock wave erupted at the scene——!

The tremors spread and destroyed the surrounding trees, and the scene fell into a brief and incomparable silence.

The gray shadow curse spirit held on until the end of this force before being torn apart. Before that, Jiang Lai held up a curse power shield to block the final wave!

For a moment, the only sound at the scene was the faint sound of breathing.

Jiang Lai let out a breath and looked at the person who had pulled him out urgently at the last moment.

The young man with the ball-head hair was still holding Jiang Lai tightly. His chest rose and fell violently for a moment, and he let go after breathing calmly.

In the brief moment just now, Xia Youjie's expression changed a lot, and in his mind, waves rolled and sand surged. In an instant, countless memories from thousands of years ago emerged.

Finally, he lowered his eyes slightly, then raised them again, with a faint but genuine smile on his face, and said in a low voice:

"…This time, I was the one who held you back."
