Neither of us is at full strength, right?

"You've gotten a lot more handsome, Fushiguro."

"... Zenin Xuan."

Bang!

Lightning suddenly erupted from Sukuna's hand, shoving Xuan Meng away. After briefly reading Megumi Fushiguro's memories, he had already grasped the usage of Ten Shadows Technique, but he did not currently possess Mahoraga.

but.

Originally, Sukuna was just struggling, wanting to infiltrate Fushiguro's body and find another opportunity, but this attack actually caused white smoke from Xuan's hand to rise from the Reverse Cursed Technique.

Xuan stood not far away, the numbing effect of the electric shock giving him a long-lost tingling sensation.

To be honest, Xuan wasn't confident right now—if Sukuna in front of him had a strength of 15 or higher, he would have to go all out. If Sukuna used his own Maximum Technique or something similar, he would be in for a tough fight.

The Cursed Energy that Xuan had temporarily stored within his Shikigami was now completely "empty".

To resist the open, Unlimited Void, Xuan exhausted almost all of his Cursed Energy at the time. He even rushed back immediately after sensing that Fushiguro was in danger, with both of them half running and half flying.

To be honest, Gen didn't expect that Kenjaku, who had been kicked into a bloody mist, would still have the guts to continue his plan. After re-establishing Gen's network, Satoru Gojo and Tsukumo went to fight Kenjaku, who was fighting against Yuta Okkotsu and Higuruma, while he dealt with Sukuna alone.

"Hey... you bastard, did Mahoraga get killed by Satoru Gojo?"

At this moment, Sukuna looked at Xuan, and the corners of her mouth slowly curled up.

Oh, um? Who knows?

Seeing Xuan's reaction, Sukuna knew that the Mahoraga had not been destroyed.

Of course, it could also be destroyed, but Xuan has a strong heart.

But regardless of whether it's destroyed or not, Xuan Du will most likely be unable to use the Mahoraga to fight.

Even so, Sukuna didn't want to fight Xuan in front of her anymore.

What a joke! If Xuan could unleash a few Black Flash, he'd be at full strength, while I'm currently nowhere near that level.

Not to mention, even at full strength, I might not be able to defeat Xuan in front of me.

"Haha... Zenin Xuan."

"Ha?"

"Catch me, and I'll give you my life."

Before Xuan could react, Sukuna transformed into a gust of icy wind—with lightning crackling around him—and darted into the city.

"What the hell? Saying such cool things just to run away?! Sukuna!!!"

Even so, Gen did not immediately prepare to pursue them. In his perception of his Cursed Energy, Sukuna was always locked onto by him—his priority was to help Yuji Itadori.

Xuan turned around, made a hand gesture, and spat out "Round Deer," and a white deer appeared beside Itadori.

"Hey bro, are you sure you can handle this? If not, get out of the way."

As soon as Round Deer appeared, a deep, resonant voice entered Itadori's mind.

"Hmm?"

Just as Tiger Staff had used Blood Manipulation mixed with the utterly inefficient Reverse Cursed Technique to slightly stop the bleeding in Tsumiki's abdomen and establish a connection, Itadori was pushed aside by the horn of Round Deer. Then, white Cursed Energy unfolded like a field.

Tsumiki's abdomen and Itadori's brain both began to recover and regenerate under the effect of the Reverse Cursed Technique. Itadori only stood up after Tsumiki's abdomen had completely closed up.

"Teacher Xuan."

"Ah?"

Xuan was just about to use Cursed Technique Reversal to start chasing after the person when Itadori's words stopped him.

"Fushiguro... I'm counting on you."

"Ha, I thought it was something serious! Don't worry, leave it to me! I'll do it!"

Gen smiled at Itadori, who was holding onto Playful Cloud and Itadori Inverted Spear of Heaven, and had Itō Mamoru and Reggie take the unconscious Tsumiki back.

With a whoosh, Xuan transformed into a beam of light and shot out, rapidly moving between the buildings, trying to catch up with the cold wind.

Meanwhile... on the other side.

Yuta Okkotsu, kneeling on one knee, was struggling to keep his body upright, staring intently at Kenjaku in front of him, while Kenjaku waved his hand dismissively.

"Ah, thank you so much, thank you for helping me adapt to this body."

Kenjaku twisted his hand, and the black shadow, like the blood armor of the Blood Manipulation, enveloped his body. After the great battle, Kenjaku was in a very good mood. Although his senses were still a little impaired, he had already adapted.

"Zenin Xuan's physical body, plus the Idle Transfiguration etched within... Ha... Ha... Looks like my combat skills aren't bad after all."

The intense battle with the three people in front of him was taking its toll on Kenjaku —although he hadn't overexerted himself with his Cursed Energy, his mental strength was indeed lagging behind his physical strength.

After the battle, Kenjaku planned to quickly reunite with Sukuna and obtain the Tengen. Next, he only needed to hand over the eight fingers he possessed to Sukuna.

"Yo... Kenjaku."

Just as Kenjaku turned his head, Satoru Gojo behind him.

Long time no see.

"..."

At this moment, Kenjaku was thinking—no matter what, if Satoru Gojo hadn't arrived immediately, he would definitely have started fighting with Gen. If that had happened, Satoru Gojo wouldn't have been able to appear on the battlefield, because even Satoru Gojo could never defeat Zenin Xuan.

"Fake... Transformation Cursed Technique?"

Kenjaku transformed the fourth Cursed Technique engraved in his brain into a kind of reconnaissance Cursed Technique through Idle Transfiguration.

No, it's the real deal.

The absolute original.

How is that possible?

That shouldn't be possible, it's impossible!

Haha, it seems you're shocked too.

Satoru Gojo took out his phone from his pocket, and with a flash of light, the stunned Kenjaku was captured on camera.

"Good expression, good expression! I'll show it to Xuan in a bit and let him see how stupid he looks."

Six Eyes...

Realizing what had happened, Kenjaku gritted his teeth. He had indeed included Six Eyes in his plan, but how could that be?

Based on Gen's performance against Sukuna, Satoru Gojo should have been defeated as well. How could he possibly be standing before him in this state?

Unlike Gen, Satoru Gojo was currently in a period of low Cursed Energy. The open-ended Unlimited Void drained most of his Cursed Energy within 10 seconds, and he used the remaining Cursed Energy entirely to defend himself.

In terms of form, Yuji Itadori was probably in the best form on the court.

Satoru Gojo took a step forward, his body flashing around Yuta Okkotsu. As the flash went off, the image of Yuta Okkotsu with the knife stuck in his throat was completely captured.

"Teacher... the battle is still going on..."

"Ah, it's nothing, it's nothing. I was just recording things that I don't usually see! Even Gen himself couldn't get away with this, let alone an imposter."

Within Six Eyes's field of vision, Kenjaku was a level weaker than Xuan. In terms of game levels, Kenjaku was around level 80, while Xuan was level 100.

Of course, this refers to games where each subsequent level requires more experience than all the previous levels combined! That's a difference of twenty times!!

After recording the appearance of the Yuta Okkotsu, Satoru Gojo turned around, casually tossing away his blindfold. At the same time, Satoru Gojo made a punching starting gesture towards Kenjaku was once again assuming a fighting stance.

"You seem to have done quite a few bad things to my students, huh?"

His azure eyes were fixed on Kenjaku before him, and red Cursed Energy flowed through his hands.
