Time Was Almost Up!

Uraume's icy Cursed Energy erupted.

White frost spread wildly outwards from him, and everyone on the street except for Kenjaku became the target of Uraume's freezing!

Nanami's expression changed.

"Get out of the way!"

However, in the face of the rapidly expanding cold wave, normal speed was simply not enough to avoid it, and almost everyone was frozen in place instantly.

Only Akuta and Momo Nishimiya escaped the freezing.

Akuta exclaimed "Holy crap!" and performed a sudden, dramatic leap, barely dodging Uraume's freezing attack.

Momo Nishimiya used a Cursed Technique to take off from the spot, dodging the attack by flying into the sky.

Damn it!

Seeing Mai frozen at her feet, Maki called out anxiously from inside the Akuta.

"Just what level of Jujutsu Sorcerer is this guy?!"

Akuta answered casually.

"Of course it's Special Grade, otherwise it wouldn't be Grade 2 like Fushiguro."

"Another Special Grade? Aren't there only four Special Grade in the world? How come there are so many more!"

Regarding Maki's question, Akuta I can say is that she's still inexperienced.

Even Hajime Kashimo is Special Grade, so what if Uraume is also Special Grade?

As he landed back on the ground, he kept glancing in the direction of Uraume and Kenjaku out of the corner of his eye.

Kenjaku remained standing in the same spot, even leisurely adjusting the hem of his monk's robe, completely unconcerned about the battle before him.

"Uraume," Kenjaku said casually, "Don't kill them all; I still need them to relay messages."

The anger on Uraume's face had not disappeared.

He used Reverse Cursed Technique to heal his hand, which had just been injured by the Choso and Piercing Blood, while speaking expressionlessly.

"This is not a reason to spare their lives."

As soon as the Akuta landed, Maki eagerly looked at Mai.

"Mai, are you alright?!"

Mayi, frozen solid with only her head sticking out Mai, gritted her teeth and responded.

"Don't worry about me, watch out for that guy!"

At this moment, the Choso was also frozen in place and unable to move.

"Ice of this mediocre quality!"

Choso gritted his teeth, about to unleash the "Blood Manipulation" to forcefully break free from the ice.

But Uraume didn't give him a chance at all.

"Something like this?" Uraume's voice carried a hint of disdain. "Faced with absolute temperature, your blood can't even flow."

After saying Uraume was about to continue his attack on the Choso.

Akuta sighed helplessly, vanished from his spot, and instantly reappeared beside Uraume, knocking her away with a single blow and saving Choso.

The equally mobile Momo Nishimiya was not to be outdone, and hurled a wind blade at Kenjaku!

Faced with Momo Nishimiya's all-out attack, Kenjaku didn't even dodge, letting the blow land on his head.

As for its power... well...

Momo Nishimiya's attack almost messed up Kenjaku's hairstyle!

Uraume, who was sent flying by the Akuta and rolled several times on the spot, gritted her teeth and looked at the Akuta.

You bastard!

The next moment, an even more intense frost rushed towards the direction of the Akuta.

"Ice Formation - Icefall!"

An iceberg-like frost struck towards the direction of the Akuta, and Mai's expression changed as she remained frozen in the ice.

"Get out of the way!"

However, just before the attack was about to hit the Akuta...

A bone dragon leaped out of the shadows, shattering Uraume's furious attack.

Uraume's eyes narrowed, and she turned to look in the direction from which the bone dragon had come.

At the end of the street, a motorcycle was parked.

Beside the motorcycle, a tall, blonde, blue-eyed woman was smiling and looking in Kenjaku's direction.

"Yo, Sashibuli da na, Suguru Geto."

Can you answer my question from back then? What kind of woman do you like?

Upon hearing this voice, Kenjaku, who had maintained his composure, finally became serious.

Wow, it's that woman!

"Yuki Tsukumo!"

Kenjaku naturally remembered this woman.

One of the four Special Grade Sorcerer.

One of the former Star Plasma Vessel, the Yuki Tsukumo!

The others present were also stunned by the name.

"Tsukumo... Yuki?" Kugisaki's eyes widened, his face lighting up with delight. "That Special Grade Sorcerer?"

How did she get here?

Nanami frowned; he hadn't expected that Yuki Tsukumo, who always wandered off, would actually appear here.

Akuta watched Yuki Tsukumo's figure and breathed a sigh of relief.

"They've finally arrived."

Maki breathed a sigh of relief inside him, but her tone still carried a hint of doubt.

"You knew she would come?"

"How could that be? You're overestimating my Information Network. I can't predict the future, how could I possibly know that Ninth Sister would come?"

Akuta chuckled and chose to tell a little lie.

Although he was indeed stalling for time, he said all that because he wanted to wait for Yuki Tsukumo to come over.

As the only one among the four Special Grade Sorcerer, Jiaxin, Lao Jiu's strength is undeniable.

Regardless of whether Lao Jiu ultimately lost to Kenjaku, it was the product of multiple factors.

Even if Kenjaku wanted to defeat Yuki Tsukumo, he would have to take some risks.

As a cunning and ruthless man, Kenjaku would never put himself in danger!

At the end of the street, Yuki Tsukumo slowly walked up from his motorcycle.

"What's wrong? Not happy to see an old friend?" Yuki Tsukumo tilted her head and smiled at Kenjaku. "I even rode my precious bike all the way here, and I ran quite a few red lights along the way."

Kenjaku did not respond.

He simply stared silently at Yuki Tsukumo.

The appearance of the Yuki Tsukumo was completely outside his plan.

This woman is too strong.

So strong that even he had to take it seriously.

Beside the Akuta, Choso finally struggled to stand up from the ice.

He clutched the frostbite on his chest, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Yuki Tsukumo and Kenjaku, seemingly assessing the current situation.

Uraume retreated to Kenjaku's side, looking at Yuki Tsukumo with a blank expression.

The atmosphere at the scene seemed to freeze subtly at that moment.

The next moment, Kenjaku suddenly laughed.

Now that Yuki Tsukumo had arrived, Kenjaku no longer had time to continue playing.

A ball of Cursed Energy appeared in Kenjaku's palm.

Sensing the fluctuations of the Cursed Energy, Tsukumo's expression changed, and she looked at the Akuta and asked:

"There should be a Cursed Spirit called 'Mahito,' right? That Cursed Technique can interfere with the soul! Where is he now?"

Akuta scratched his head.

"You're too late, Ninth Brother. The Mahito has already been absorbed by him."

"No way!"

As Tsukumo panicked, the Cursed Energy in Kenjaku's palm spread towards the Sky Manipulation.

In an instant, a complex Barrier appeared in the entire Sky Manipulation.

Tsukumo stared intently at the Barrier in the Sky Manipulation.

"This is... Tengen's Barrier? No, this is a remote activation of Cursed Technique!"

Feeling his backup plan being activated, Kenjaku smiled and looked at Akuta.

"I also have to thank you, Maki... oh, no, I should call you Akuta, right?"

"If it weren't for your help in activating the Mahito's potential, I really wouldn't have been able to complete my plan."

Amidst laughter, Kenjaku slowly recounted the actions he had planned for a thousand years.

Seeing Tsukumo's dark face, Kenjaku burst into laughter.

"Tsukumo, the golden age of the Jujutsu Society is about to arrive once again!"
