Even though he had already triggered the prerequisite for Killing Intent Reflection, Daemon couldn't understand why his Killing Intent Reflection had suddenly stopped working.
This had never happened before!
Shinji looked at his palm. "That was easier than I expected!"
Daemon stared at Shinji as if he were a ghost and shouted, "W-what did you do to me?"
"Brat!"
Shinji's lips curled into a smirk.
The moment he touched Daemon, he had indeed triggered the prerequisite for Killing Intent Reflection. He had even vaguely sensed a connection forming between his Chakra and Daemon's.
He immediately understood the principle behind Daemon's Killing Intent Reflection.
Strip away the lofty appearance of this "Shinjutsu," and Killing Intent Reflection was still, at its core, an interaction between Chakra.
That was precisely why Daemon had to touch his target with his palm before he could trigger Killing Intent Reflection.
Ordinary people couldn't detect this at all, which was why they were baffled when it activated.
But Shinji was different. Not only had he fused the properties of all seven Chakra natures—yin, yang, and the five elemental natures—to achieve Kekkei Mōra, he had also mastered the special dōjutsu Naobi and Magatsu, which could connect their Chakras. So the instant Daemon's Chakra connected with his, Shinji vaguely sensed something.
Once he understood the details of Killing Intent Reflection, what came next was simple.
With his current abilities, Shinji couldn't forcibly sever the Shinjutsu-level Chakra connection Daemon had established. But by relying on Naobi to sense it and Magatsu to block it, he could briefly disrupt the Shinjutsu's Chakra connection the moment he felt killing intent toward Daemon. That made Daemon's Killing Intent Reflection fail for a fraction of a millisecond.
Such a brief opening was meaningless to ordinary people. Before they could even finish forming the thought
