Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 353 The Despairing Truth

The existence of the barrier also created a suitable battlefield for them, so that the cruise ship would not be destroyed after the cattle ghost appeared and took action.

The Niu Gui, who had additionally merged with the Nue, was simply a ghost appearing on earth at this moment. He waved his limbs and lashed the ground, destroying the debris he touched. Only the floor that overlapped with the barrier could withstand this unintentional destruction.

In addition to pure power, dangerous lightning flashes on the cow ghost's body from time to time. In order to accommodate all the people and countless entertainment facilities, the hall of the cruise ship is built extremely spacious, with a height of several floors.

However, this space is a little too narrow for this ghost god, and one cannot help but worry whether this place can withstand its destruction when it becomes truly angry.

"Who the hell are you?"

The bull ghost moved its huge body, and its fists and claws with explosive power, accompanied by whistling wind and thunder, smashed towards the middle-aged man.

The latter used his unknown spell again, and several invisible barriers appeared in the air one after another, blocking the cow ghost for a moment, but under its terrifying pure power, they were shattered in an instant.

But it was precisely this obstruction that prevented the cow-gui's attacks from hitting the target. Hearing Zenin Hui's roar, the middle-aged man moved around and seized the weakness of Yuji, using the force to turn around and kick him towards the pursuing cow-gui.

"Who am I? I am nothing more than a ghost from the past. However, since you have mastered the ten shadow spells to this extent, you are now qualified to know my name."

"Yanagase Shigeyoshi, remember this name, this will be the one who kills the Ten Kage!"

Yanagisawa Shigeyoshi's words were quite arrogant, but in fact he was very calm at this moment, and the situation was very clear in his eyes.

This little Ten Shadow demon has been able to complete the expansion of the technique and create those terrifying ghosts and gods, but is limited by this guy's strength. Although this bull ghost is very tricky, it is not strong enough to crush him.

After he woke up, he had been watching the Ten Shadows Imp go to great lengths to save ordinary people who were possessed by cursed spirits.

The ability to mobilize Shikigami to perform reversal techniques on a large scale is not comparable to ordinary spells. In fact, if he were to solve this situation, he would not be so stupid.

All we need to do is let those who are parasitized expose themselves. It is impossible to use this method on all of them in a short period of time. In this way, we can accurately deal with those cursed spirits with the least effort, and the price is just the lives of a few people.

As for the chaos that may be caused, of course special measures must be taken at this special moment. We only need to use those who are parasitized by the cursed spirits as an example to forcibly stop the chaos, and we can evacuate the others first.

But those meaningless kindnesses made this little Ten Kage choose the most thankless path. He wasted his cursed power just to save more meaningless mortals. So today he should kill the Ten Kage of this era with his own hands!

Use the technique to condense the air into an invisible steel barrier to block the cow-on's attack. When the barrier is shattered and it is impossible to dodge, Yanagisawa Shigeyoshi will choose to use his body, which has become harder under the effect of the technique, to confront the cow-on's attack head-on.

Dodging the punch from behind, Yanase Shigeyoshi turned sideways to catch the person attacking him, then impatiently punched him hard in the abdomen.

The punch intended to kill the opponent almost broke through his physical defense. The difference in strength between the two sides and the effect of Yanagisawa Shigeyoshi's technique, if the person who attacked Yuji was not an extraordinary sorcerer, this punch would probably have pierced his abdomen, putting Yuji directly into a near-death state.

Although Yuji was not in danger of death, he was definitely not feeling well after being hit so hard by the punch. Damage to his internal organs was inevitable. The fact that he was still able to move was because he was a sorcerer.

At this moment, Yuji was like a puppet who was completely unaware of his injury and pain. After vomiting blood, he punched Yanase Shigeyoshi again who was close to him.

"asshole!"

Yanagisawa Shigeyoshi was caught off guard and didn't expect that Yuji could launch a counterattack immediately. Even though the double impact of the punch on his face failed to seriously injure him, a strange force broke through his body's defense. If not for the fact that part of his body was also covered by the effect of the technique, he might have been seriously injured by this guy's attack.

At this moment, being hit in the face by such a reckless and ignorant kid was not very harmful but extremely insulting.

Although this little devil had no magic skills, his attacks could inexplicably hurt him. Coupled with his stubbornness like sticky candy, he really felt extremely annoyed.

The furious Yanase Shigeyoshi was about to withstand the attack of the cow-on and try to kill the little devil first. With one punch, Yuji's chest collapsed. On the other side, the anxious Zenin Kei drove the cow-on to punch out a blast that shattered the void.

The extreme strength and cursed power of Orochi and Manxiang, coupled with the characteristic of the Ox-penetrating Technique: the farther the straight-line impact is, the greater the lethality. Even Yanagisawa Shigeyoshi could sense the extraordinary and terrifying power of this punch.

"Hmph! You little brat of the Tenkage, the reason for your defeat is your weak heart!"

Yanagisawa Shigeyoshi held the almost unconscious Itadori in front of him. Although the attack was terrifying, Yanagisawa Shigeyoshi had at least a 50% chance of resisting it with all his strength. Besides, he now felt that he had seen through this Tenkage brat.

For some strange ants, he is still able to consume a large amount of magical power at this time, so he will definitely not kill his companions like this!

As expected, when Zenin Keizai saw Yuji being blocked in front of the Ushiki's attack, his expression suddenly changed drastically, and he immediately controlled the Ushiki to make a move. "Haha, as expected... what?"

Yanase Shigeyoshi was so proud that he was ready to counterattack, but the next moment he suddenly found that his hands were empty. A shadow suddenly wrapped around the little ghost in his hand and took it away by force.

Looking closely, it turned out to be a huge toad crawling out from the cow ghost's fist, then using its tongue to wrap around the little ghost and roll it back.

This is a feint!

Yanagisawa Shigeyoshi could no longer see that the Tenkage imp had anticipated this scene, so he took advantage of the situation and used his other shikigami to take advantage of the Ushi-on's attack to reach the best range, and then took advantage of that moment to rescue the imp.

"Okay, okay, I underestimated you, but...how are you going to continue the battle after paying such a price to save your partner who has lost his fighting ability? Are you waiting for your other teammate?"

Yanagisawa Shigeyoshi laughed strangely. It was impossible for him not to notice the fierce battle on the other side. In fact, the really troublesome guy over there might intervene in the battlefield here at any time.

But he was not panicked at all. After all, as he had just sensed, he was probably not the only one who had been cursed by the noose and resurrected here.

"it's useless……"

“…You will all die here.”

In a dark world where only the sparkling water on the ground could reflect light, the figure sitting on the throne made of bones spoke with interest. The figure lying in the blood below him was stunned at first, then turned over and stood up.

Yuji glanced at the strange scene around him. He had learned about this situation in Juuko. It was called the "mind world" and was the necessary foundation for the expansion of the domain. And now he was... in the mind world of this guy Sukuna!
"No wonder he is called the Cursed King..."

The mountains of bones and the endless lake of blood that covered the ground all spoke of the boundless evil of the masters who created them.

The four eyes on Sukuna and Yuji's identical faces were all staring at the latter with an inexplicable meaning. The same face had completely different temperaments that made people ignore their identical appearance.

With a strange smile on his lips, as if he had seen something very interesting, Sukuna looked down at him and said in a bewitching tone, "You and that Ten Shadow brat are going to die here, but if you are willing to kneel down and beg me, and give me control of your body, then I can guarantee that brat's survival."

Yuji sneered. Are you kidding? Although the guy outside was very powerful, he was not that strong. Not to mention that he and Hui-Neng could not deal with him, as long as they delayed for a while, maybe just a few seconds, Otsutsuki-senpai would be able to free his hands. With Otsutsuki-senpai's ability, wouldn't it be easy for him to deal with this 'cumbersome' guy?
"You must be thinking: If we just wait for that Otsutsuki to come over, we can get rid of that enemy, right?"

Seeing through Yuji's thoughts, Sukuna's smile on his face, which was supported by one hand leisurely, became more bizarre and wanton. He opened his mouth to reveal his white teeth, and threw out the truth with the excitement of watching a living creature in front of him about to die.

"Haha - do you really think he's the only enemy? Little boy, you don't know the origin of this magician yet, come, let me tell you!"

The invisible but tangible malice was overwhelming, and Yuji's heart suddenly tightened due to some intuition. He had a premonition that the next words that came out of Sukuna's mouth would concern the life and death of him and Kei, as well as the fate of this mission and those hostages.

"He is a past dead soul like me, reborn with the help of a cursed body! And do you think that those slightly stronger bugs will only appear one at a time?"

"Next... no, maybe those guys are already mixed in with the hostages below, just observing what's going on. And the enemy you're going to face next... hehe, it's fun to think about it!"

Sukuna laughed so hard that he almost held his stomach. He knew that with that guy called Otsutsuki, they might not die here even if facing an enemy of that level. But one thing was certain, that is, either they would fight to the death here, or they would be forced to give up the mission and let all the hostages die on the cruise ship.

No matter what the outcome is, Sukuna is very interested in them, and if he wants to change these endings...

"Kneel down, beg me, and hand over your body. Let me kill all those ants. I can cast a spell and will never harm your companions!"

The scarlet, malicious eyes looked down at Yuji Itadori, while Itadori stood silently with his head down, and his clenched fists showed that he was not at peace at the moment.

"You are... wishful thinking!"

After a while, what answered Sukuna was a flying fist. The amused expression disappeared from Sukuna's face. He narrowed his eyes and smiled cruelly, then raised his right hand.

"Boring bug."

His strength dissipated along with his consciousness, and then several blood lines emerged from Yuji's body, cutting his face and body in all directions. The next moment, Yuji was like a building block that lost its balance, and was instantly cut into several irregular pieces of flesh that fell into the blood on the ground.
