Two roars echoed simultaneously over the shopping mall.

The cursed energy sorcerer from four hundred years ago and the modern cursed energy sorcerer engaged in their first official battle.

Almost simultaneously, the figures of the two vanished from where they stood.

The next moment, a bang rang out.

Jie Jian and Hajime Kashimo collided fiercely with a pair of punches right in the center.

Excessive cursed energy clashed against each other, erupting into a powerful shockwave that shattered the surrounding glass one pane after another.

"Hmph!"

Feeling the force coming from the punch, Hajime Kashimo could not help but take a step back.

What is going on? Why is this guy's strength so immense!

Yet at this moment, he had no time to keep thinking, because Jie Jian's next attack struck once again.

Jie Jian swung his left fist to bash continuously toward Hajime Kashimo, while the cursed energy within his body was actively activated, raising his strength by yet another level!

Thinking it was merely an ordinary left hook, Hajime Kashimo raised his hand to block it defenselessly.

Yet when the left fist smashed into him at that very instant, he realized something was wrong.

Clearly it was a left hook, so why was the strength even greater than that of the previous right punch?

Not only that, after taking this punch from Jie Jian, Hajime Kashimo felt as though his soul had shuddered.

He acted as if he were dead drunk, his entire person actually standing stupidly frozen in place!

Until another of Jie Jian's straight punches struck his face, Hajime Kashimo only then snapped out of his dizziness.

Under the effect of this punch, Hajime Kashimo went flying directly.

His body tumbled continuously through the air, ultimately crashing into a shop before coming to a stop.

Watching Hajime Kashimo get beaten flying away, Jie Jian chuckled a few times with the satisfaction of a great revenge.

"Like to put on airs? Watch me make you fly!"

As the saying goes, the left fist deals high damage, and the right fist deals high damage.

You should go learn this trick of weaving normal attacks with skills; there are simply far too many details to pay attention to inside it.

Inside the shop, Hajime Kashimo picked himself up in a disheveled state from the knocked-over cargo.

Possessing rich combat experience, he reacted immediately: that "dizziness" he had just experienced was definitely the result of Jie Jian's technique.

It appeared the opponent's technique was not entirely identical to his own, as his own technique merely endowed him with the properties of cursed energy lightning.

Whereas the opponent's lightning technique seemed to have brought him other special skills besides!

Yet not the slightest bit of fear appeared on Hajime Kashimo's face; instead, a trace of excitement flashed across it!

"Omosiroi! It seems modern sorcerers aren't all trash after all!"

Hajime Kashimo raised his hand toward the distance, and the next moment an iron rod flew over from not far away, entering his hand.

There was a negative charge left by Hajime Kashimo inside the iron rod, allowing him to conduct long-distance automatic retrieval through attraction with the positive charge inside his own body.

Just now, in order to test Jie Jian's level, Hajime Kashimo had casually stabbed it into the ground.

Although it was still uncertain what conditions Jie Jian's dizziness technique had, Hajime Kashimo felt there was a high probability it came with conditional limitations.

And this condition most likely required directly striking the opponent's body!

To prevent direct attacks from hitting his body, the blocking of the iron rod was extremely crucial.

Hajime Kashimo propped the iron rod on his shoulder and walked out of the shop with a loud laugh.

"Four hundred years, and you are the first lightning sorcerer to make me suffer. In terms of techniques, I, Hajime Kashimo, dare call you the strongest!"

"Ha?" Jie Jian almost failed to keep a straight face. "Kashimo, you bastard are still acting cool at a time like this; have you really never seen a dark hand!"

Hajime Kashimo's face turned dark, and dropping further nonsense, he flashed to arrive above Jie Jian.

The iron rod carried Hajime Kashimo's cursed energy, smashing down from high altitude with overwhelming force.

Although Jie Jian considered his physical defense to be decent, he had no intention of standing still to take it raw.

Such a high-foreswing normal attack was too fancy, and he dodged it with a sideways step.

Taking advantage of the timing while Hajime Kashimo was at his side, Jie Jian raised his arm for a signature elbow strike!

"Eat my black flash elbow strike! Man!"

The two words "Black Flash" caused Hajime Kashimo's pupils to shrink violently.

As the strongest sorcerer from 400 years ago, how could he possibly not know about Black Flash.

When the error between physical strike and cursed energy impact is within 0.000001 seconds, spatial distortion can be produced, directly multiplying the attack's power to the 2.5th power!

Associating this with the power of Jie Jian's previous fists, once a Black Flash was landed, he would probably be either dead or severely injured.

Yet at this moment, his distance from Jie Jian was far too close, and it was already too late to dodge.

Hajime Kashimo could only cross the iron rod before his chest, praying he could block this Black Flash from Jie Jian.

However, the thing he never expected happened.

The black lightning imagined by Hajime Kashimo did not appear; although the force transmitted from the iron rod was great, it was not something that couldn't be resisted!

With his face dark, Hajime Kashimo, who had been elbowed flying a meter or two away, looked toward Jie Jian.

When he saw Jie Jian's regretful face, how could he still not understand that he had been played by Jie Jian!

"You bastard! If you can't use Black Flash, what are you shouting for blindly!"

Not the slightest bit of embarrassment appeared on Jie Jian's face.

"Hahaha, isn't a signature elbow strike paired with a Black Flash standard operating procedure? It'd be a waste not to shout."

Hajime Kashimo's already dark face darkened by yet another fraction.

He looked at this ungrounded sorcerer before him, chanting wildly in his heart.

Don't get angry, don't get angry; it's not worth getting upset with an idiot.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the fury in his heart, and looked toward Jie Jian with clear eyes.

At this moment, not the slightest bit of anger remained in his gaze; what filled it was the confidence of impending victory.

"The farce is over, kid."

Hajime Kashimo looked coldly at Jie Jian.

"You can state your last words. I have gathered the formula for victory, and I will swing down upon you the Whip of Complete Defeat!"

Hearing this, Jie Jian narrowed his eyes slightly.

What did this old fellow mean? Could it be he had some move he didn't know about?

That shouldn't be right, though?

Yet confusion was confusion, and Jie Jian felt not the slightest panic in his heart.

If you can't beat them, you can't beat them; wouldn't it be fine to just come back next time?

He grinned broadly and looked at Hajime Kashimo.

"Last words? I certainly don't have those, but I can tell you my name. My name is Jie Jian."

"Jie Jian?" Hajime Kashimo muttered the name to himself. "A good name. I probably won't forget you for the rest of my life."

The next moment, the cursed energy within Hajime Kashimo circulated, and he snapped his fingers with confidence.

However, three seconds passed, and nothing happened at all!

"What!"

Hajime Kashimo looked at Jie Jian in disbelief, activating the cursed energy within his body once more.

Yet no matter what he did, the scenario he had anticipated did not occur.

Jie Jian narrowed his eyes as he watched Hajime Kashimo "performing on the spot," seemingly understanding something.

Oh! I get it, Kashimo, you're trying to activate the positive charge inside my body, right!

Hajime Kashimo's cursed energy properties were identical to electricity; he himself could separate his cursed energy charge into positive and negative charges, transferring the positive charge onto the target while striking the enemy.

When the positive charges inside the enemy accumulated to a certain quantity, he could not only utilize the mutual attraction of positive and negative charges to rapidly approach or pull the enemy over.

He could also release the negative charges inside his own body, causing them to react with the positive charges inside the enemy, directly generating a lightning attack inside the enemy's body!

This caused Hajime Kashimo's electric shocks to possess their own sure-hit effect even without performing a Domain Expansion.

During the several close-quarters struggles just now, Hajime Kashimo had long since driven a massive amount of charge into Jie Jian's body.

Yet at this moment, this reserve of charge had vanished as though it never existed, leaving not a trace!

Observing Hajime Kashimo's changing expression, Jie Jian knew he had guessed correctly.

He smiled as he looked at Hajime Kashimo.

"Old Kashimo, did you forget that my technique is also lightning?

The charges you just drove into my body were long since assimilated and absorbed by me; where on earth would there still be charges left for you to react with? Hahahahaha!"

Jie Jian's uninhibited laughter echoed throughout the shopping mall, while Hajime Kashimo's face turned grave to the extreme.

He was well aware that he had run into a technique restraint.

It was completely normal for restraint relationships to exist among sorcerers.

Just like the Sendai Four Heavenly Kings, severe mutual restraint relationships existed among their techniques.

When a sorcerer encountered a sorcerer who restrained them, they would usually choose to temporarily avoid the sharp edge.

His technique did not endow him with extra combat abilities, and the only destructive "Mythical Beast Amber" was something he would never use here no matter what.

At this very moment, fleeing became the optimal solution.

Yet not only did Hajime Kashimo have no intention of fleeing, the battle intent on his face grew even thicker.

Fleeing upon encountering a sorcerer who restrained you was indeed the optimal solution.

But that was the mindset of trash!

He, Hajime Kashimo, was going to take down Jie Jian's body with his own hands under circumstances where he was restrained!!!
