Chapter 39

After Leaky Coral appeared, the temperature around it suddenly rose. Although the distance was still far, sorcery was never logical. Although the temperature was actually far from the standard, many weak sorcerers still lost their lives due to spontaneous combustion.

The burning human bodies looked like moving candles. The air was filled with a bitter smell of burning. Lou Hu and Bai Yun looked at each other from a distance, their words full of confusion.

"Why?"

Louhu stared at Bai Yun with his one eye, and when he saw that Bai Yun did not answer, he raised his voice and asked, "Why do you want to stand on the side of humans?"

If it weren't for the curse before them, they wouldn't...

A cursed spirit does not grieve over the death of a companion, or even its own death—that is how it should be.

Therefore, Lou Hu had no idea what feelings were rising in his heart.

It should have been a foolproof plan, but because of the changes caused by the curse before them, not only did they fail to successfully get Ryomen Sukuna's fingers, but they also got Hanazu and Masato involved.

Now the ability of the curser has been greatly weakened, and as for the noose of the alliance...

Judging from the fact that the real person informed the other party in advance about the abnormality of the cursed spirit in front of him, and the fact that this guy not only didn't remember what was going on at the time, but is even pretending to be dead now, Noose has completely lost Louhu's trust.

After all, the curse before him was not the type that would remain unknown.

In Louhu's opinion, maybe this guy Luosuo was just pretending to be stupid, and actually knew about the unknown curse!

Now he might be trying to collude with the curse from inside and outside, and I don’t know what bad things he wants to do!

After beginning to doubt Nosuke's stance, Rougo naturally began to doubt everything Nosuke had said before, including, of course, his promise to seal Gojo Satoru.

Gojo Satoru is here, the noose is here, the unknown curse is here... Louhu and the others have too many enemies.

They will definitely lose this round.

But before it's all over, Leaky Pot wants to know how to do better next time.

Louhu jumped down from the top of the factory and landed not far in front of Bai Yun. The sand around him melted and shone under the high temperature, and gradually revealed a glass-like texture.

The land near Louhu's feet was a completely disaster-stricken area. The land was directly carbonized and blackened, with a faint red glow.

"Don't get me wrong."

In this hellish environment, the cursed spirit looked neither excited nor panicked. If anything, it was just numbness and fearlessness after experiencing so much.

"I never joined any camp."

"…What did you say?"

Louhu was very dissatisfied with Bai Yun's answer.

Louhu totally ignored the group of sorcerers who were fighting among themselves and almost beat their brains out before he showed up.

In its view, that group of mixed people was no match for Hua Yu and the real people, and the cursed spirit in front of it was cursing them.

"Well, just don't admit it."

Louhu took a deep breath, and the magic power in his body began to surge. He was mentally tense and ready to fight at any time. At the same time, he forced himself not to look in the direction of Tagore and expose his opponent's position.

The only person who entered the barrier and came out alive was Shigemen Haruta. The reason why that guy was able to come back alive was not because of his strong strength, but because the scene was too big and no one paid attention to him, and this guy was indeed very cunning.

But from the perspective of Leopardus, this behavior is really incomprehensible.

What's the point of living in a muddle? It's better to die with some value.

Lou Hu came to Bai Yun with this idea in mind.

Because to some extent, for Louhu and the others, the curse in front of them is more troublesome than Gojo Satoru.

Gojo Satoru is very strong, so strong that he is completely unmatched, but for Curse, this is not a completely unsolvable problem.

Because Gojo Satoru is still a human being after all, the worst that can happen is that I can just wait for him to die of old age before coming out! If I can't beat him, can I still survive till I die?

But this is also a curse! The longer you endure, the stronger the opponent will be!

Even if they managed to hide, wait for the real flower to "rebirth" them, and successfully start over... wouldn't they still have to face this guy who always goes against the curse for some unknown reason?!

Who can handle this?

If other people were faced with this kind of situation where their future was almost completely blocked, they would probably curse and swear passionately, then give up, question their life... or something like that.

But Louhu is a curse with a very specific pattern and dreams.

So it started thinking about how to solve the problem.

First, it will try to talk to the other party. It would be best if it could find out where the other party's hostility comes from and solve the root cause.

If the negotiation fails, it will do its best to force the opponent to reveal the spell. Tagore will take note of everything and lie low for the time being, preparing for the next round of plans a hundred years later.

Loucoral knows it is no match for the curse before it, but it will still try its best to complete this seemingly simple plan.

Even if the price is its life.

After Lohu made up his mind, the originally condensed and compressed cursed power suddenly exploded, and the sky-high flames erupted from the volcano-like head of Lohu and hit the buildings next to it.

Although there were no goods in the abandoned factory, there were still machines, and when they encountered open flames, there was no doubt that uncontrollable continuous explosions occurred.

Thick gray-black smoke, accompanied by sparks, spread across the sky, seriously interfering with the vision.

Seeing this, Otsutsuki Yuta frowned: "This cursed spirit...is not in a good state."

Curse power is linked to negative emotions. Generally speaking, no one can maintain extreme emotions all the time, not even a curse made of curse power.

Just like a candle, if the flame is too big, it will only burn faster, and the temperature will increase, but not much.

If that volcanic head continues like this, it will soon enter the "Sage Time" and will not be able to extract even the magic power.

After all, he is a special-grade cursed spirit, how could he make such a low-level mistake?

Gojo Satoru didn't think it was strange. He stood aside and said leisurely, "Because it knows that if it doesn't risk its life, it will get nothing."

"Uchiha Obito is just like that."

Things turned out exactly as Gojo Satoru had imagined.

Louhu has now completely given up on controlling its emotions, and its current state is basically the same as when Gojo Satoru called it weak.

Although his strength will soon decline due to his emotional decline, Louhu doesn't even plan to live "that long".

The explosion caused a pungent smell to spread in the air. It was hard to tell whether it was poisonous or not. Louhu had no intention of searching for the cursed figure. He just secretly planned for the next attack.

Its goal is to severely injure the opponent with a continuous stream of area attacks.

This is the advantage of fire attack.

It has a large range and high damage. Generally speaking, as long as it is touched, it will cause damage. It does not require too much delicate operation. It is very suitable for creating distance when there is a gap in the strength of both parties.

Louhu is actually a cursed spirit born from human's fear of the earth, but from the appearance, it has a volcanic head and its usual means of attack are basically related to fire, which also makes it the one with the highest attack power among the four cursed spirits.

But unfortunately.

The Uchiha clan is also famous for its fire escape technique.

Louhu, who was accumulating magical power, suddenly felt something. He turned his head and saw Bai Yun's figure breaking through the shackles of thick smoke and approaching him.

Behind the opponent, there were dozens of huge fireballs burning!

“What——!”

Is this guy's technique also related to fire?

Before he could react, all the fireballs hit Louhu. Although Louhu had a certain resistance to fire due to his own attributes, he still could not avoid the fate of being seriously injured.

Before Louhu could recover from the pain, the curse spirit appeared in front of it in the blink of an eye.

Only then did Louhu discover that a black iron rod-like thing had "grown" on the opponent's hand. Despite its ordinary appearance, it felt deeply threatened.

What is this!

Louhu subconsciously wanted to open more, but his speed was far slower than that of the Curse Spirit, and the thin and long iron rod pierced directly through his abdomen!

"puff--!"

A sharp pain came from the wound, and Louhu spat out a mouthful of blood.

No one knew what the black stick was. Louhu could feel that the curse power at his wound had completely stagnated. For a curse, this was almost a fatal blow!

The operation of cursed power is inseparable from the abdomen, and Louhu's current condition is no different from being captured alive.

Louhu staggered back two steps and barely pulled himself off the black stick.

Even with the inversion technique, the wound still healed very slowly.

The technique can't win, and the physical technique has some strange weapons...

Louhu looked up at the black stick. If he guessed correctly, that thing should have a considerable suppressing effect on cursed energy. It is a rare and good thing.

If I could get my hands on that weapon...

After the wound stopped bleeding temporarily, Louhu freed his hands again. Countless strange-looking pointed-beaked flying insects flew out from his volcano-shaped head, attacking the direction of the cursed spirit with sharp cries.

At the same time, Louhu himself rushed towards the direction of the curse, hoping to win by numbers.

But sometimes, quantitative change does not produce qualitative change.

There were actually not many cases where Uchiha Obito actually took action.

Most of the time, he is playing Uchiha Madara, but Uchiha Madara is a natural when it comes to fighting, and facing him once can leave a lifelong shadow on people.

At first, Uchiha Obito was only in his teens, and even needed to increase his height to pretend to be an adult. Naturally, he couldn't learn that style, so he always used Kamui to "play tricks" to avoid head-on confrontation and prevent himself from being exposed.

After all, not everyone is his elementary school classmate, and except when facing elementary school classmates, Shenwei is really very useful.

Over time, this way of fighting that used Kamui to cheat became Uchiha Obito's personal style, which seemed a bit rogue.

But this doesn't mean that his physical skills are not strong.

The cursed spirit dodged wave after wave of attacks. Its movements were skillful and nimble, and it twisted and turned in the firelight, as if not even a speck of dust had stained its robes.

There were more and more wounds on Louhu's body. It made a "tsk" sound, took a step back, and at the same time directed more flying insects to attack the opponent.

The suicide attacking insects exploded one after another near the cursed spirit, thick smoke billowed, and flames shot up to the sky, but in Louhu's subconscious, he realized that something was wrong.

When the thick smoke dissipated, Louhu found that the cursed spirit was standing before him unharmed, and he couldn't help but feel an unsettling sense of déjà vu.

But unlike Gojo Satoru at that time, Lou Hu didn't even have the real feeling that he had touched something.

The two sides exchanged a few quick moves, and by the time Louhu finally confirmed that he really couldn't catch the guy in front of him, he had already been sprayed with fire several times in the face.

For sorcerers, they usually cast spells along the extremities of the limbs.

Specifically speaking, for example, most sorcerers will only enchant their fists or legs to increase critical strikes, but rarely use such moves on places like the stomach. Firstly, it is difficult, and secondly, it is inconvenient to use.

As for fire spells that can hurt oneself if not careful, Louhu, as a curse spirit, can use his fists to cast it directly without any problem. And as a human, Zenin San is more accustomed to using tools to guide unless forced into a corner. This expands the range of attack while also avoiding the worry of hurting himself.

But "Uchiha Obito" is different from the above two methods.

It did not choose to use any weapons to assist in the attack, nor did it choose simple and crude attack methods such as "Flame Fist".

The curse spirit chooses to compress the curse power in the mouth and then releases it all at once. The compressed spell is not only incredibly powerful, but also hard to defend against because of its unique casting method.

This is undoubtedly a more ingenious way of operation than leaking coral, more convenient and flexible than using weapons, and even more powerful.

Not only can you copy it perfectly after seeing it at a glance, you can even improve it based on your own situation.

Off the field, Otkotsu Yuta couldn't help but sigh: His ancestor was indeed a rare genius.

The battle on the other side has reached a white-hot stage.

After being passively beaten for a long time, Louhu's thinking gradually became consistent with that of the real person at that time.

Louhu suddenly retreated a long distance, and after temporarily ensuring that he would not be disturbed, he suddenly began to say: "My territory is called [Coffin-Building Iron Mountain]. If an ordinary sorcerer enters, he will be burned to ashes in an instant..."

This is a ritual disclosure, which increases the effect of the ritual by revealing the constraints of the hand.

Lou Hu knew very well that he didn't have much time and only one chance.

So, next -

[Field expansion——]

Generally speaking, only a domain can fight against a domain.

If it can at least force the opponent out of his territory, then its death will be worth it.

Bai Yun stood far away, not knowing what to say.

It’s embarrassing to say that Bai Yun has been cursed in this world for almost two months.

But so far, he has not learned how to expand his field.

Although if other people said that it would be strange if one could learn to develop the field within two months, others didn't care how long Bai Yun had been a curse.

All in all, the expansion of the field is indeed a bit threatening to Bai Yun, and unlike the real person's technique, Louhu's technique is a completely offensive type, and obviously will not give him the opportunity to exploit bugs.

However, before the opponent's territory has time to fully form.

Bai Yun still had time to rescue him.

Without anyone noticing, a hint of purple light flashed in the eyes of "Uchiha Obito".

The curse spirit slapped the ground with one hand, and countless spells extended from that palm.

Louhu intuitively felt that the other party was up to no good, so it sped up the circulation of its magic power, wanting to expand its territory first.

——But it didn't work.

"The art of spiritual communication—"

Although only one Rinnegan was pulled out, Bai Yun was not cruel enough to hot-swap and replace his eye.

However, the fact that the curse is composed entirely of cursed energy gives him the possibility to use some of the abilities of the Rinnegan even if he does not harm himself.

With a "bang", things that should not exist in this world were summoned.

A huge humanoid monster as tall as a mountain rose from the sea of ​​fire.

"What is this...?"

Louhu stared blankly at the existence that was beyond his understanding and muttered to himself.

"Is this... also a curse?"

It looked roughly humanoid, but it looked like a weird wooden artifact with nine eyes.

There were ten wooden poles on its back that looked like they had been chopped off, and its hands and feet were bound with iron chains for some reason. Its shadow covered the entire land, and was even high enough to touch the top of the tent!

The feeling of being restrained was obviously unbearable for it. The monster had a look of pain on its face, and the chains on its hands made sad sounds, as if they would break at any time.

Everyone saw it open its mouth, as if it was about to launch another attack that would affect the entire country.

"Ah, this won't work." Gojo Satoru, who had been watching the show, finally reacted.

He turned around and told Yuta Otsutsukoshi, "I'll go stop it. The original [Account] is probably not strong enough. It will be very troublesome if it breaks, so I'm asking Yuta to set up a new one."

It took Okkotsuki two seconds to react. He felt a little confused, but he knew that this was not the time to hesitate, so he nodded and said, "Okay, Gojo-sensei."

Gojo Satoru nodded, ready to intervene in the center of the conflict.

Just when everyone was facing a formidable enemy, "Uchiha Obito" spoke.

“Stop.”

The cursed spirit turned around and took a look at the monster it had summoned.

With just one glance, the cursed energy that was surging in the air came to an abrupt halt.

"Once is enough."

What surprised everyone was that the monster actually obeyed the curse spirit's command, which was neither light nor heavy.

It leaned down, and the chain, which already had many cracks, hung between its hands, restricting its movements but also revealing its obedience.

This is not an ordinary relationship between a container and its contents.

"Uchiha Obito" retracted his gaze and looked at Louhu.

The monster followed the Curse Spirit's line of sight and after seeing Louhu still in a daze, the two seemed to have reached some kind of silent agreement.

The moment the monster looked at him, Louhu finally reacted, and the domain in his hand, which had stopped due to excessive surprise, tried to reshape.

It couldn't fully understand what was happening, but it still remembered its mission.

But it's fast, and that monster is faster.

Under Louhu's nervous gaze, the monster opened its mouth again, but this time it was completely different from the last time.

Countless pitch-black chains shot out from its mouth and accurately entangled the coral before it had time to dodge.

The moment the chain touched him, the familiar feeling of powerlessness as if the cursed energy was solidified made Louhu realize that the material of the chain was from the same source as the black stick.

After failing to escape, Louhu was bound by the chain and was eaten by the monster.

Tuo Gen stared at the scene in front of him with bloodshot eyes, as if he wanted to engrave everything in front of him deeply into his mind.

What made him feel hopeless was that he discovered that one of the monster's nine eyes, which had been tightly closed, slowly opened.

What does this mean?

Louhu, who had the power of almost eight or nine fingers of Ryome Sukuna, could only barely make the "creature" in front of him open one eye.

And this guy has nine eyes!

Although the power of the curse cannot be determined by simple addition and subtraction, the current situation undoubtedly foreshadows some unspeakable disaster.

On the other side, Gojo Satoru and Otsutsuki Yuta also realized this.

There was no emotion on Gojo Satoru's face, but for some reason, Otsukotsuki Yuta felt that there seemed to be some subtle connection between this monster and Uchiha Obito.

The inspiration was so profound that Ottokotsu was worried that Taichi would not be able to fully grasp it in time.

But there is one thing that Yuta Okkotsu is very clear about.

That is, he just discovered one of the reasons for his family's demise.

Another long chapter!

Okay, I'm depressed again.

I have already described half of the villains with names in Curse, and it’s only 120,000 words. I don’t know what to do next.

PS: I actually quite like Louhu and Zhenren. These two characters are very three-dimensional in the original novel and are well written, although I gave them all the credit.

PS: Today's Outer Golem is also played by a cute little idiot system.

I just realized that I typed Hubao's name wrong. What a sin!
