Tang San: Don't underestimate the bond between Ranbai and me!

People's joys and sorrows are not the same.

At this moment, with the Demon Heavenly God completely destroyed by Sukuna's hidden trump card, it also means that... Hei Ranbai, who only has the strength of Demigod Level, is completely no longer qualified to fight Sukuna!

"Heh, kid, this should be your limit!" Sukuna panted, his body bearing the marks of Flame and frost damage.

It was obvious that the "Opening Quenching Spirit" he had just undergone had put a heavy burden on his body.

Hei Ranbai didn't speak, but instead took out the Special Grade Cursed Tool Playful Cloud and rushed towards Sukuna.

Perhaps because the previous move had put too much strain on Sukuna, he did not kill Hei Ranbai with a single punch. Instead, he sneered, grabbed Playful Cloud, and then engaged in hand-to-hand combat with Hei Ranbai.

"Tang San, wake up!" Hei Ranbai said, and through Sukuna Nuo's eyes, he seemed to see Tang San who had already suffered a mental breakdown.

Sukuna, who had been suppressing Tang San's consciousness so tightly, subtly relaxed his grip slightly. Tang San's soul, which had previously lost all will to resist, gradually recovered. He heard...

The Ranbai is calling out to itself!

"Ranbai!"

"You brat, behave yourself!" Sukuna snapped impatiently at Tang San, "Do you even have the face to live anymore? Don't forget, in your past life, the Tang Sect was disgraced because of you, and in this life, it's because of you that your mother, uncles, and your beloved Xiao Wu died!"

Upon hearing Sukuna's rebuke, Tang San, while accumulating Emotion Points, curled up into a ball again, plunging into despair once more.

"The Xiao San!"

Hearing a familiar call, Tang San raised his head once more!

As Sukuna's eyes widened, Tang San somehow regained some control of his body. His blood-red eyes brightened, filled with disbelief.

"Ranbai... what did you call me!?"

"The Xiao San..." Hei Ranbai's gaze was somewhat unfocused. After a long while, a relaxed Checkmark Smile suddenly appeared on his face. "I don't blame you anymore!"

Boom!

Like a thunderclap from a clear sky, Tang San's previously utterly despairing state of mind was restored. For him, the most important people were his beloved Xiao Wu, his mother Hanami, and his best friend Hei Ranbai.

His beloved Xiao Wu was killed by his own body. Although his body was controlled by Sukuna, Tang San still believed that he was the one who killed Xiao Wu. For someone Love-Brain, losing Xiao Wu was no different from losing his life.

His own mother was sealed away by Sasuke Uchiha right before his eyes, and he could do nothing about it.

His best friend Hei Ranbai, hated him even more...

The relentless blows nearly drove Tang San to despair, but at that moment, Hei Ranbai, one of the most important people to Tang San, suddenly spoke up, saying, "I don't blame you anymore."

For Tang San's spirit, which was already shattered and plunged into an endless abyss, this was like the last ray of light in the darkness.

Tang San, like a moth drawn to a flame, tried to rush over.

"Xiao San, actually, my Martial Soul can see some things through shadows. I saw that after you passed the Asura God Trial, you were determined to take me to the Divine Realm with you. I saw the apology in your heart. I saw so much..." Hei Ranbai lowered her eyes slightly, then smiled through her tears, "I also know that you didn't mean it back then!"

"I asked my father and mother, and they both frankly said that since you didn't do it on purpose, they could have beaten you up to vent their anger and then laughed it off! Over the years, no one has understood me, and I don't have a single friend!"

"No brothers are without their share of arguments, Xiao San, this punch... and we're back together!"

In that instant, Hei Ranbai roared and swung his fist. Black and red lightning streaked across the sky, like a shooting star falling from the heavens!

"Black Flash!!"

Under Tang San's influence, Sukuna had no time to dodge and was sent flying by a punch.

Hei Ranbai took a step, transforming into a shadow, and reappeared in front of Sukuna, while simultaneously throwing a second punch.

Another Black Flash!

The Black Flash Sukuna's chest, and the pain simultaneously affected Tang San's mind. However, Tang San did not have bloodshot eyes or pant heavily; instead, he stared blankly at the Hei Ranbai.

Then, Hei Ranbai smiled slightly and spoke softly:

Long time no see... bro!

Brother!

"Ranbai! Thank you!"

Tang San, who was on the verge of a mental breakdown and in despair, seized the last ray of light in the darkness. Hei Ranbai's few words dragged him out of the darkness!

"Brothers! Let's... take care of Sukuna together!" Tang San roared, and Youyou purple light gathered in his eyes, "Purple Demon Light!"

Without hesitation, he Hei Ranbai and kicked out again!

Unsurprisingly, another Black Flash was fired!

Sukuna was somewhat dumbfounded. Mentally, Tang San was attacking his soul, while physically, Hei Ranbai unleashed three consecutive Black Flash.

Even though Hei Ranbai was only a demigod, Sukuna was still quite uncomfortable after enduring three attacks in a row.

"Did this guy secretly take out a loan?! How come the chance of getting Black Flash is so high?" Sukuna muttered to himself.

Sukuna was right; Hei Ranbai had secretly taken out a loan, increasing the chances of triggering Black Flash.

If netizens from the previous life had seen Lao Hui unleash three consecutive Black Flash, causing Sukuna to vomit blood, Lao Hui probably wouldn't have been treated as a war criminal later.

"Ranbai, attack now!" Tang San's consciousness briefly overcame Sukuna, and he roared at Hei Ranbai.

Sukuna shouted impatiently, "You brat, behave yourself! Have you forgotten that you're the one who weakened the Tang Sect, the one who caused the deaths of your family? Do you want to kill Hei Ranbai too?!"

"... Hehe!" Tang San's consciousness suddenly laughed.

Then, he roared loudly:

"Sukuna! You rascal..."

"Don't underestimate the bond between me and Ranbai!"

"Purple Demon Light!"

"Fourth shot! Black Flash!"

"Puff!"

Sukuna was punched so hard he vomited blood. Even with Sukuna injured, four consecutive Black Flash were enough to leave Sukuna in such a sorry state.

Furthermore, with Tang San's help, Sukuna's time to repair the brain fracture was extended!

Even under Tang San's influence, Sukuna's tightly gripped Asura Demon Sword slipped from his hand.

"Ranbai, receive this wisp of Asura Divine Power that I have condensed, and you can use the Asura Demon Sword!" Tang San roared, his Divine Sense condensing into a ball of Asura Divine Power, which, with the help of the spiritual Skull, was thrown to Hei Ranbai.

Hei Ranbai immediately absorbed it, then with a single wave of his hand, he firmly grasped the Asura Demon Sword that Sukuna had released.

Hei Ranbai raised the Asura Demon Sword, his eyes sharp, yet a smile played on his lips, "This is the exhilarating combination technique between me and Xiao San! Sukuna, prepare to die--!"

"Asura Blood Sword!"
