Where were my teammates?

Why did they believe him?

Come on, the gap in strength was right there for everyone to see.

"How are you going to take us there?"

Momo Nishimiya was rather curious. After all, jujutsu sorcerers generally weren't particularly mobile, even those like her with a cursed technique specifically for it.

Cursed energy consumption was one issue, and speed was another.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have taken the train.

Yue Liusi didn't explain. He simply placed his hands on Utahime's and Mai Zenin's shoulders.

Before anyone could react, the three of them vanished from the train.

"Huh?"

Momo Nishimiya blinked blankly.

Where had a whole person gone?

Where had her whole Utahime gone?

But in that brief moment of distraction, Yue Liusi had already returned to the train.

"Let's go."

There was a flash before Momo Nishimiya's eyes. When her toes touched the ground again, she was already on the streets of Shibuya.

Noritoshi Kamo was there with her.

Utahime and Mai Zenin were waiting nearby.

Finally, Yue Liusi brought Kasumi Miwa over.

"What an unparalleled cursed technique..."

Looking at Yue Liusi's young face, Utahime couldn't help praising him. The mobility of this cursed technique was downright absurd, with an effect similar to that of Mei Mei's younger brother.

And judging by how he looked, it was much easier for him.

"There are still plenty of people trapped in Shibuya. I'll leave them to you. Stay safe, and stay alive."

Before leaving, Yue Liusi waved at them and offered that reminder, then vanished again.

"That guy..."

Mai Zenin shook her head, then looked at Utahime.

"Let's listen to him and rescue people first."

Utahime made the decision. They had originally intended to support the operation to rescue Satoru Gojo, but Yue Liusi apparently had other plans.

In that case, they would listen to him.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Mahito and Itadori were in the middle of a chase.

Just as Itadori was about to catch up with Mahito, an unexpected figure suddenly appeared ahead.

Kugisaki?!

"Run, Kugisaki!!!"

Startled, Itadori hurriedly shouted a warning.

But clearly, Nobara Kugisaki, who hadn't understood the situation at all, was already too late to react.

Mahito leaped forward with a confident smile, his palm reaching straight for Nobara Kugisaki's head!

Just then, a pebble suddenly flew out, striking Nobara Kugisaki squarely behind the knee.

Pain shot through Nobara Kugisaki, and she stumbled straight down onto one knee. Mahito's strike missed, carrying him right past her.

Mahito's expression darkened as he landed. He wanted to finish her off, but Itadori was already on him!

His chance gone, Mahito knew things were looking bad. Just then, Choso, whom he had trapped earlier, finally arrived as well.

Watching the three resume their battle, Nobara Kugisaki finally felt her heart settle and let out a lingeringly shaken sigh of relief.

"Looks like I used too much force."

Yue Liusi leaned against a nearby wall, looking a little sheepish as he watched Nobara Kugisaki struggle to straighten her leg.

"Thanks..."

Nobara Kugisaki naturally understood what had just happened. Looking at the person who had saved her life, she thanked him between sharp breaths.

It really did hurt too much.

But compared with touching that guy's palm, this outcome was so much better.

Yue Liusi came over to Nobara Kugisaki. A green glow appeared in his palm, and her injury rapidly healed.

"Thank you."

Nobara Kugisaki could finally speak smoothly again, while Yue Liusi turned his gaze toward the three combatants.

"Aren't you... going to join them?"

Although Nobara Kugisaki didn't really remember the person before her, since he had helped her, he had to be on their side.

"I'm going to learn a little."

Yue Liusi quietly activated his Sharingan, watching the battle thoughtfully.

At that, Nobara Kugisaki said nothing more and turned to join the fight.

"Kugisaki! Are you okay?"

Seeing Kugisaki completely unharmed, Itadori breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, Mr. Yue was here. Otherwise, he really wouldn't have known what to do.

Mahito, however, was getting annoyed.

Fighting two against one had already been a struggle. Now there was another opponent, one who posed a threat to him at that, while that loathsome person was watching hungrily from nearby.

Where were his teammates?

This was the absolute worst!

With that thought, Mahito immediately prepared to run.

Just then, another pair arrived, blocking the very route Mahito needed to escape.

It was Aoi Todo and Nitta!

"You've got to be kidding..."

Mahito's heart sank. The situation felt very bad.

Why was everyone coming after him???

Yue Liusi's gaze also landed on Aoi Todo.

Aoi Todo, the wielder of the most underhanded cursed technique in history.

Metronome Aoi Todo was even more outrageously underhanded.

Even more ridiculous than Amenotejikara.

Of course, he was also the happiest person in Jujutsu Kaisen.

A real winner in life.

Before long, Mahito began to buckle under the encirclement. With a tremendous crash, the battlefield shifted outdoors.

"The principle is simple, but it demands a lot from the user..."

Yue Liusi came lightly to a stop nearby, keeping his Sharingan active. With Aoi Todo and Itadori as examples, he gained a deeper understanding of Black Flash.

The former had pressured himself into landing a Black Flash, while the latter, the king of Black Flash, went without saying.

"One millionth of a second..."

Before, even with a cheat like the Sharingan, he certainly couldn't have attempted to analyze Black Flash. But now, with Chakra Control Mastery stacked on top of it, his control over cursed energy was no worse than Satoru Gojo's.

Of course, analysis was one thing. Understanding it didn't mean he could use it.

Luck still accounted for the vast majority of it.

Meanwhile, Mahito finally couldn't withstand the pressure any longer and prepared to use his domain.

He looked at everyone surrounding him, a savage grin spreading across his face.

Come on! If that was how it was, he could only give it everything he had!

Although he had already used it once, he hadn't maintained it for long that time. Forcing himself to use it again now would, at most, come at a price.

It was absolutely worth it!

A 0.2-second Domain Expansion!

Following that person's method, it would definitely work!

He would be the winner!

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared right in front of Mahito!

Yue Liusi had never left a mark on Mahito, but he had Aoi Todo there!

Following his instructions, Aoi Todo had swapped out Itadori, who was closest to Mahito, almost immediately.

Now it was a contest of speed!

Logically, with Mahito forming hand seals inside his mouth, his Domain Expansion was astonishingly fast. Without the help of the Flying Thunder God Technique, Yue Liusi shouldn't have had time to interrupt him!

But...

Click.

As the pendant opened...

Aoi Todo's "Little Unlimited Void," specially effective against Mahito, activated!

Boom!

Yue Liusi drove a solid punch into Mahito's body!

Mahito's body instantly flew backward. He hurriedly adjusted his posture and landed on the ground, but he still couldn't help coughing up a mouthful of blood, his face filled with shock.

Impossible!

Mahito remembered Yue Liusi clearly. The last time they had met, he had been nothing but a fleeing coward.
