"Huh? But we just met, didn't we?" Yuji Itadori was completely dumbfounded this time, looking a little lost.
However, it was abrupt.
Asuramaru warned with a hint of sarcasm, "You're surrounded. It looks like these people want to kill you here."
"Kill me? Because of Sukuna? But haven't I already been temporarily pardoned from the death penalty?" Yuji Itadori hurriedly asked.
Seeing that Yuji Itadori was still somewhat unaware of what was going on, Asuramaru pouted and explained in an annoyed tone.
"I feel that calling you an idiot is an insult to the word idiot. Right now, you're a ticking time bomb in the Jujutsu Society. Your suspended death sentence is only because Satoru Gojo is around."
You don't actually think nobody wants to kill you, do you?
In the past, Yuji Itadori might have complained, but now he simply replied calmly, "Thank you for reminding me, Asuramaru!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
Gunshots rang out in the distance, and a bullet whizzed through the air.
However, Yuji Itadori was able to accurately pinpoint the direction from which the arrow was coming, and easily dodge it with a simple sidestep.
Then several more shots came in quick succession.
However, Yuji Itadori calmly dodged it without even making any significant movements.
"They dodged them all? How is that possible!"
Mai Zenin, perched in the tree, looked horrified; the muzzle of her revolver was still smoldering with gunpowder.
On the tree opposite him, Noritoshi Kamo raised his bow and arrow, drawing back the string, ready to fire at any moment.
The Mechamaru below also raised its right arm, revealing a component resembling an energy emitter in its palm.
Kasumi Miwa stood not far away.
They had practically completely surrounded Yuji Itadori, cutting off all his escape routes, though these people were unaware of it.
If Yuji Itadori wanted to, he could easily kill them all!
But Yuji Itadori did not do that.
Instead, he looked around warily, but what no one expected was...
A crisp round of applause rang out.
In an instant, Yuji Itadori switched places with Noritoshi Kamo, who was in the tree, and Aoi Todo appeared behind him, coldly rebuking him.
"I told you, I'd kill you all if you got in my way!"
"You said before that if you come to command again, I will kill you all," Noritoshi Kamo put away his bow and arrows, stood up, and turned to correct him.
But what she got in return was a sharp rebuke from Aoi Todo: "It's all the same, get out!"
"Then you'd better kill him properly."
Noritoshi Kamo ultimately chose to compromise, leading everyone away to continue their mission.
"I'm not the kind of person who would go easy on a close friend!" Aoi Todo also got into a fighting stance.
Yuji Itadori above, was no longer the naive and innocent boy he once was. He silently wondered, "Asuramaru, are they really gone?"
Upon hearing this question, heaven knows what Asuramaru was feeling, but he didn't show it at all, and instead replied coldly.
They've already gone far away.
"That's good!"
Without a moment's hesitation, Yuji Itadori leaped down from the tree and looked at Aoi Todo in front of him, offering a warning.
"I'm coming!"
"Then come on, my dearest friend!"
Aoi Todo excitedly gave a reply.
The two continued their sparring in the woods, and with each punch and kick, Aoi Todo began to analyze Itadori's condition.
Great stamina, and he also actively uses the terrain to fight back, but the best part is his amazing physique!
Whether it's strength, speed, or resilience, they are far beyond ordinary people, even if they cannot fully master the use of Cursed Energy.
It can also inflict extremely powerful damage!
However, there is also the problem that the Cursed Energy is a beat slow when punching!
Unlike Aoi Todo, who thinks during battle, Yuji Itadori relies on sheer force to achieve Miracles!
This guy is really tough.
However, Aoi Todo quickly stopped what she was doing and said directly, "My dear friend, that slow-moving Cursed Energy of yours is a bad habit!"
Are you referring to Divergent Fist?
Yuji Itadori also stopped, somewhat puzzled, wondering what was going on with this guy.
"If you're content with this level, you can't defeat me. If you're satisfied with this level, then we're no longer best friends."
"I feel a little dejected," said Aoi Todo, her expression somewhat listless.
"That's alright..."
As for whether or not they could become close friends, Yuji Itadori didn't seem to have any particular feelings.
But the next moment.
Aoi Todo suddenly interrupted, questioning, "Is it really okay to stay this weak?!"
These words seemed to touch a nerve with Yuji Itadori, reminding him of moments in the past when he realized he had been too weak.
At this moment, Yuji Itadori, who had already made up his mind, immediately raised his fists, added his Cursed Energy to them, and then spoke with a serious expression.
"Of course not!"
"That's right, my dearest friend!"
Aoi Todo became increasingly excited; this was the best friend he had ever dreamed of!
The two sides continued fighting.
Asuramaru simply watched calmly, offering no comment on the battle between the two, since this world didn't place much emphasis on combat skills.
The main issue is still the Cursed Energy.
Having grown accustomed to Tanjiro's battles, watching these two fight seems far too naive.
Fortunately, Itadori is making rapid progress by feeding on Aoi Todo!
But Aoi Todo stopped him again, pointed out the problem, and guided him out of this misconception.
"Your Divergent Fist allows you to delay the formation of Cursed Energy that would normally not be delayed, thanks to your superhuman physical abilities."
Although it is quite powerful and can confuse ordinary sorcerers, this move is useless against Special Grade. The reason for this is that you have allowed the Cursed Energy to flow.
Generally speaking, the Cursed Energy generated from negative emotions flows throughout the body, originating from the Cursed Energy center at the navel. The idea of letting Cursed Energy flow throughout the body is correct, but one should not be limited by this way of thinking.
Listen carefully, Itadori! We exist in this world with our bodies and minds, a fact so taken for granted that everyone has forgotten it!
After hearing this lecture...
Yuji Itadori felt as if he were in this world for the first time, and gained a new understanding—an enhanced sense of control.
"I think I understand!"
As they were talking.
His entire body was covered in Cursed Energy, reaching a new level, as the two sides continued their battle.
Yuji Itadori's strength also began to improve rapidly.
Aoi Todo generously provided guidance, even teaching Black Flash as well!
However, Asuramaru, who was watching the show, suddenly sensed a large amount of energy fluctuations, confirming that the newcomers were not weak and that there were a great many of them!
"Did they release a large number of Cursed Spirit? Besides the two familiar ones, there's also an unfamiliar Special-Grade Curse..."
Chapter 135 The Sudden Attack
For the sake of the trouble of cooking and unloading the vortex
This was also within Asuramaru's expectations, since the six fingers stored in the Jujutsu High were something they had to retrieve.
This configuration was just unexpected.
After all, three Special Grade arrived at once; could the extra one be Dagon?
In addition, there should also be a Mahito who went to the treasure vault to steal Sukuna's Finger, which means that there are four Special-Grade Curse this time.
Moreover, the Jogo among them even has Hanami, clearly indicating that it was made for this purpose!
The goal is clear; we'll get here soon.
I thought about it for a moment.
Seeing that Yuji Itadori had already mastered the Black Flash technique, Asuramaru pondered for a moment before speaking up to warn him, "Yuji Itadori, a Cursed Spirit is heading this way, and it's an old acquaintance."
Upon hearing this, Yuji Itadori's expression changed instantly.
"Are they those same Special-Grade Curse from last time? Why are they here?"
Without a second thought, he quickly reminded Aoi Todo beside him, "Get out of here right now, Aoi Todo!"
Upon seeing Yuji Itadori's anxious expression, Aoi Todo immediately sensed something was amiss and quickly began to think with his self-proclaimed 530,000 IQ brain.
The final result was that Yuji Itadori was warning him of approaching danger.
But he couldn't understand what danger might be involved.
But soon, he saw two figures rushing towards him at lightning speed in the woods not far away. Looking closer, he realized that they were two humanoid Cursed Spirit.
Moreover, the emanating Cursed Energy and oppressive aura were without exception.
They are all Special-Grade Curse!
And it wasn't even recorded!
But how did Yuji Itadori know that?
When Yuji Itadori saw the two approaching Cursed Spirit, he gritted his teeth and said, "It really is you again!"
He turned his head as he spoke.
"Todo, let's get out of here while we can! I'll handle this!"
Although he didn't know what Yuji Itadori was hiding, Aoi Todo could sense his confidence, but he didn't choose to leave.
Instead, they intend to stay and fight together!
"How could I possibly abandon my dearest friend and choose to leave alone?! Let's fight side by side, my dearest friend!"
Although it was well-intentioned, in this situation...
This was a real problem for Yuji Itadori, but he only hesitated for a moment before making a decisive decision, thinking to himself.
"Please, Asuramaru!"
"Stop arguing!"
Asuramaru retorted irritably, then activated the Demonification and One -One-Sword Asura buffs for him.
The next moment.
That surging power surged into his body once more, and demonic horns sprouted from his forehead, his tiger teeth became sharp and prominent, and his eyes and profile turned a light purple.
His aura surged once again, reaching the Special Grade level, but this time it was even stronger than before!
But Yuji Itadori's first reaction was to turn around and remind him.
"Todo, be careful!"
Upon seeing Yuji Itadori's posture and the terrifying power emanating from him, Aoi Todo fell into deep thought.
Is this the power of Sukuna?
But this is clearly not Cursed Energy, so what kind of energy is this?
My mind was filled with questions, but there was no doubt about it.
