Su Chen instinctively shouted, "Stop!"
His shout was deafening.
At some point, Akaza had appeared beside Shinobu Kocho, radiating staggering killing intent.
How was that possible?!
Countless thoughts flashed through Su Chen's mind at that moment.
Had Akaza betrayed us?
Hadn't he broken free of Muzan's curse?
"So, it had activated again?"
The next instant, Su Chen found his answer in Akaza's eyes.
Blood-red once again filled Akaza's eyes, and the characters for Upper Rank slowly reappeared.
No matter how Su Chen called to him, he remained unmoved.
"What was this?"

Su Chen's eyes turned bloodshot as he watched helplessly, about to see Akaza strike Shinobu Kocho dead.
His body was so stiff that he could not immediately reach Shinobu Kocho's side.

In the end, she could only turn her gaze toward Su Chen.
She left him with a clear smile, one that seemed to say she would not blame her.
[Expand Time Domain!] [Your intense emotional fluctuations affected the domain. With a single moment of clarity, your Time Domain expanded threefold!]
Su Chen's heart was as still as stagnant water.
As he looked at Shinobu Kocho before him, scene after scene surfaced in his mind.
Their first meeting on Mount Natagumo that day, when Shinobu Kocho brought
