"Drip, drip."
Blood dripped from Soji's body.
To be honest, in all this time, Soji had rarely been the first to have his defenses broken by an opponent.
But today, Isshiki had managed it.
Of course, Soji could actually have avoided Isshiki's attack just now.
However, in order to decipher Isshiki's bizarre method of attack, Soji had chosen to take the blow head-on!
"Clang," "clang," "clang."
After pulling the three Yin-Yang Release Black Rods embedded in his body out and tossing them onto the ground, Soji showed no frustration over his injuries. Instead, a smile appeared on his face.
The wounds where the Yin-Yang Release Black Rods had been removed were slowly healing on their own.
The healing speed was not particularly fast, but it was not slow either.
At most, he would be fully recovered in a minute or two.
Seeing Soji so unhurried, Isshiki frowned instead.
He had a feeling that the slight advantage he had just gained was gradually slipping away.
"Senior Isshiki, I've already seen through your attacks!"
After brushing nonexistent dust from himself, Soji looked at Isshiki with a smile.
Sure enough, Isshiki's heart sank upon hearing that.
He had suspected as much, but hearing Soji say it with such certainty still left Isshiki deeply incredulous.
After all, despite how fierce their fight had seemed just now—
In reality, less than half an hour had passed.
It was hard to believe that someone could see through his Sukuna-Hikona in such a short time.
"Is he bluffing me?"
That was Isshiki's first thought.
But he could not be certain.
"Hmph. Then let's try again!"
Isshiki said that as much to himself as to Soji.
The instant his words fell, he charged at Soji again.
Soji did not retreat and met him head-on.
Bang!
