On the big screen, after Qingxiao sent Sukuna flying back with a punch, he did not press his advantage.
He retreated a hundred feet, then planted himself in place, his left palm upright and his right fist raised, his body ramrod straight.
A clamor of discussion first broke out in the operations room.
"Why isn't he chasing him?!"
"Kick him while he's down! Why put distance between them now?"
The young Jujutsu Sorcerers in the front row leaned forward, their faces full of confusion.
He had pinned Sukuna down so completely at close range and could clearly have broken through his defenses in one push, so why had he backed away instead?
Takako Uro uncrossed her arms and leaned forward slightly, her eyes fixed on the screen.
"That opening stance... there's no mistaking it!"
Before she finished speaking, Sukuna moved on the screen.
Like a savage beast thoroughly enraged, countless Cursed Techniques erupted around him.
Slashes, Blue, Piercing Blood, Dismantle-dark red, pale blue, pitch black, cursed light of every color blotted out the sky, bombarding Qingxiao's position.
Had ordinary Jujutsu Sorcerers been there, the residual waves of those Cursed Techniques alone would have kept them from even standing.
The cursed light completely swallowed that black-clad figure.
The screen filled with blinding brilliance.
"Mr. Qingxiao!"
Someone could not help crying out.
Just then, a voice rang out, seemingly right beside everyone's ears.
"Chenghuang.
Raise Blue.
Break Ten Thousand Laws.
Domain Expansion! Seeking Truth by Abandoning Cleverness!"
The blinding radiance abruptly dispersed-or rather, all the light was erased.
On the screen, the booming explosions vanished, and the Jujutsu filling the sky vanished.
With Qingxiao at their center, Three-Colored Lines spread flat in every direction.
Wherever they passed, Sukuna's slashes melted away soundlessly like snow and ice meeting sunlight, and ruined walls crumbled
