Chapter 191 Jiang Lai vs. Sukuna
Ryomen Sukuna originally wanted to play word games and trick Yuji Itadori into signing another one-minute restraint against Jiang Lai, so that he could continue to hide the [契嗊] restraint until later.
However, Yuji Itadori was quick to notice the loophole in Sukuna's words and did not agree to the deal proposed by Sukuna.
So Sukuna could only sigh with regret in his heart, and then decided to use [契嗊].
As those whispered words came out, black stripes suddenly appeared on the cheeks and body of the cherry-pink-haired boy in front of him, and the crescent pattern under his eyes was torn open to reveal a new pair of secondary eyes.
The scarlet eyes replaced the boy's original golden orange color, staring at him with malicious intent.
At the moment when the cold curse power rose, Jiang Lai waved his hand and pulled up a space stripe, pulled Ryomen Sukuna out of the room, and arrived outside the dormitory in an instant!
Ryomen Sukuna's [Kaikan] only lasts for one minute, and the opponent certainly doesn't care where the battle takes place. But Jiang Lai can't let him perform a chopping attack in the high school dormitory.
Outside the dormitory is a grassy forest. It is not as spacious as a playground, but it is an uninhabited area where you can fight.
Jiang Lai waved his hand again and immediately formed a closed space barrier, confining the battlefield between him and Sukuna to the grassy woodland at the back to avoid affecting any buildings and personnel.
Fushiguro Megumi reacted after being stunned. He subconsciously rushed to the window in three or two steps and climbed out, but he could only watch the two people outside being covered by the translucent barrier.
This violent fluctuation of cursed power naturally attracted the attention of other people in the high school. Before the alarm sounded, the special sorcerer Otkotsu Yuta had already arrived at the scene.
He looked at the two people on the scene, paused for a second, and then held the long sword tightly in one hand and asked Fushiguro Megumi who was standing beside him: "What happened?"
"..." The black-haired boy turned around, took a deep breath, and made the point short.
After hearing this, Otsutsuki Yuta pondered for a moment and calmed down the rising curse power. He did not put down the long sword, but he also stopped fighting.
He believes in the choices made by his predecessors.
Otsutsuki Yuta knew that he didn't need to worry too much about the opponent's strength, and he guessed that the purpose behind this action might be to get rid of the [Positive and Negative] Tower on Yuji Itadori.
So he calmly replied: "In that case, let's leave the scene to them for now."
"We can't interfere with other people's decisions. It's also difficult for outsiders to intervene in the battles between special cursed spirits. All we can do is to prevent accidents from affecting the academy." Otsutsuki replied in a low voice. He half turned his head and soothed, "It's okay. I'll stay here."
Inside the space barrier, the two Sukuna stopped their vertical and horizontal attacks almost the moment Jiang Lai cast the barrier, without any intention of waiting for Jiang Lai to adjust his condition.
After all, Sukuna has never been a person who pursues fairness and justice. He only cares about maximizing the results and benefits.
Jiang Lai knew his stinky brother's character, so he was prepared.
After Sukuna chanted the word [契嗊], a thin but strong protective film attached to his body, which was enough to withstand Sukuna's sudden and sweeping attack.
To block Sukunoki's initial attack, Jiang Lai flipped his wrist and mobilized countless cursed power codes, causing bright waves of light to appear in the air.
Ryoumen Sukuna raised the corners of his lips, his eyebrows slightly raised, and dodged the raised curse code in a few seconds, saying casually: "Too slow, what kind of old age speed is this?"
This is obviously a response to Jiang Lai's previous statement "Caring for the elderly and widows". However, because Sukuna and Jiang Lai are characters of the same generation, no matter who says this, it will hurt each other.
Jiang Lai looked calm, as if he was not affected by the erroneous attack.
——Actually, he did it on purpose.
Jiang Lai had long guessed the reason why Ryoumen Sukuna wanted to duel this time, so he followed Sukuna's idea and deliberately did not show his full strength, so as to let the opponent relax his vigilance and make it easier for him to perform the time and space reversal in the end.
Jiang Lai: Winning or losing the battle is not important, my goal is on another level! .jpg
One minute may sound short, but for an expert, it is enough for countless duels.
Ryomen Sukuna fell to the ground, his eyes full of contempt, and his fingertips drew out countless sharp cursed blades!
This time, the cursed blades were denser than before, and the thin edges carried a huge amount of cursed power as they rushed straight towards us!
Although the two had agreed to target the neck, Ryomen Sukuna's wide-ranging attacking stance was clearly not limited to the neck.
This time, Jiang Lai did not choose to erect a barrier for defense. Instead, he clenched his palms and controlled the space technique to wrap up the cursed blades like a cloth bag, actively gathering them together.
Then, he pressed down with his wrist, and in an instant, he smashed the force to the ground—
The force of the explosion created a deep hole in the ground. The edge of the hole was cut extremely neatly, and there was not even any grass or bark inside. Everything was crushed into ash.
Jiang Lai silently apologized to the college's green plant staff for half a second, then remembered that this expense could be reimbursed by the rotten oranges in the upper management, and he felt relieved.
The eyebrows of the two Sukuna on the opposite side are slightly raised.
He saw that Jiang Lai's action was a mistake, so he used less cursed power to distract and gather the cursed blades that were originally attacking him and smash them downwards.
It was a smart move, and Ryoumen Sukuna raised his head slightly, thinking casually. But such a little cleverness would not affect the final outcome, and strength was the basis for everything.
The previous two attempts had already proven that the current ability of the figure in the navy blue kimono was already so weak that it was inferior to his.
How pathetic and stupid. Ryoumen Sukuna narrowed his scarlet eyes. He wasted his strength on the weak and unworthy until he became like this.
He will not stop just because the opponent is in a bad condition. It is his style to take advantage of the opponent's illness to kill him.
Ryomen Sukuna no longer hesitated, and fifteen seconds before the end of the one-minute countdown, he clasped his hands together and directly opened up the field!
"——【Demon Subduing Chef】."
Blood and buffalo bones suddenly surged up, cold curse power expanded in a circle, and a weird and neat shrine rose from the ground.
The domain has actually been opened! Outside the space barrier, Fushiguro Megumi's eyes widened, his heart pounding in his chest, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at Otsutsuki Yuta beside him.
Okkotsu Yuta still held the knife in one hand, his expression became serious, and his eyes were fixed on the situation on the battlefield.
Other people from the college also arrived one after another.
Norose Kugizaki hurried over in a casual coat. She tucked her hair behind her ears and looked into the translucent space with her eyebrows raised. "What is this? Why did that Sukuna guy come out?"
"Something happened." Fushiguro Megumi pursed her lips, "Sukuna recited a word, and then he broke through Yuji's will and appeared."
Nagizaki No Rose: "Huh?!"
At the same time, other students who came nearby were also stunned by the situation.
"Ah, that's Sukuna, right? It's Sukuna, right?" The panda rubbed his dark circles in disbelief, closed his eyes and opened them again, "It's really Sukuna!"
"Salmon." Goujuanji muttered.
The two sisters, Zenin Maki and Zenin Mayi, did not speak. They remained silent, their eyes fixed on the figure in the navy blue kimono through the translucent barrier.
The figure was very familiar. If it was covered with a fox mask, it would perfectly match the mysterious monster in the memory.
The "big monster" who once held their hands and led them away from the cannibalistic Zenin family appeared before them again. But the scene had been completely turned upside down.
The Cursed Corpse Zenin Naoya, who was forcibly pulled in with the appearance of a golden Stitch, glanced up at the barrier and froze the next moment.
Logically, the focus at this time should be on the Curse King Ryomen Sukuna. However, Zenin Naoya's attention fell on the black-haired young man.
The obsession in the bell-ringing corridor in his youth and the goodbye in the misty room in his adulthood, each time changed the trajectory of his life.
However, the person who had a significant impact on him always treated him so lightly, as if he were a dandelion, blowing him away with a breath and then leaving.
Zenoin Naoya was holding back his anger, or perhaps something else, he wanted to grab the opponent's loose sleeves, show his strength enough to catch up with the opponent, and show his arrogance in front of that person.
...But now that he has become a cursed corpse, it is probably impossible.
Zenin Naoya took a quick look at the situation on the battlefield and thought reluctantly: I still hope that person will be better.
After all, if the other party collapsed here, it would seem that his persistence was useless.
Under the gazes of the crowd, the twisting and swirling shrine in the space barrier suddenly stopped, and the scarlet blood under its feet also stopped surging.
Everything seemed to be paused.
The next moment, the shrine at the center of the cold curse power suddenly shattered, the bloody buffalo bones were suddenly pressed down, and a ray of starlight flashed from the edge and disappeared!
——The Demon-Subduing Kitchen Skill was interrupted before it was fully unfolded!
Everyone: “?!”
What happened?
"..." Ryoumen Sukuna narrowed his eyes and stared forward with his secondary eye.
In the storm of cursed power, the dark blue clothes swayed slightly. The black-haired young man looked calm, and his hands under the wide sleeves were put together, and soon put down naturally.
——One of the ways to break a domain is to develop the domain in the same way, using one domain to fight another.
Ryoumen Sukuna underestimated his enemy, and he was very casual in his attitude towards opening up his domain. In addition, Jiang Lai had practiced once in the Tower of Crossroads, so he was relatively familiar with Sukuna's domain.
Therefore, Jiang Lai seized the opportunity and, with the help of the sharp observation ability of [Existence], expanded his own domain in an instant at the weakest link in the middle of the Sukuna domain, aimed at the shrine in the center of the domain in a moment, and defeated the Demon-Subduing Chef!
All this happened so quickly that in the eyes of most people outside, they only saw the Sukuna domain expand and disappear, while Jiang Lai's star sea domain only showed an unclear silhouette.
The two special classes, Ryoumen Sukuna and Otsukotsuki Yuta, fully understood what had just happened.
The King of Curses let out a light click of his tongue; he recognized that Jiang Lai had hidden his strength before.
At this time, Qi Kua's countdown was only eight seconds left.
Although the territory was breached, Ryomen Sukuna quickly adjusted his condition.
After roughly understanding Jiang Lai's true strength, he no longer launched a wide-ranging attack, but decided to make precise use of this restraint agreement and aim for the neck!
Jiang Lai dodged the cursed blade in an instant and arrived next to Ryomen Sukuna!
At this time, there are five seconds left in Qi Kua's countdown.
Ryoumen Sukuna had raised eyebrows. Facing the black-haired young man who boldly approached him, he raised the corners of his mouth and mobilized the magic power to concentrate it in his hands.
There are three seconds left in the countdown.
Jiang Lai suddenly stretched out his hand and placed it on Sukuna's shoulder.
Sukuna moved his fingers and aimed at the neck of the character in front of him.
Two seconds left on the countdown.
Jiang Lai placed his hands on his shoulders and silently activated the reversal of time and space left in this body.
A tiny, inconspicuous, but extremely condensed, cursed blade suddenly shot out from Ryomen Sukuna's fingertips.
At the same time, a similarly shrunken [茈] attacked from high altitude and broke through the space barrier.
One second left on the countdown.
Ryoumen Sukuna felt a special power. He stared at Jiang Lai and guessed in an instant that the other party's purpose was not to bind the transaction at all!
Jiang Lai smiled lightly, and started the time and space reversal, accurately destroying the [Positive and Negative] Tower before stopping.
That tiny [茈] hit precisely between Jiang Lai and Ryomen Sukuna, as if to separate them and interrupt the battle!
——As if by coincidence, this [茈] directly destroyed the tiny cursed blade that Sukuna was attacking.
The countdown returns to zero.
