The old man, however, managed to hold on a little longer thanks to his strong physique, and before he died, he activated his spell to shift the strength of his magic.
However, the power of this flame was simply too strong. Although it could not compare to Gojo Satoru's Kagura and Zi, it was still far beyond the limit of what he could transform.
In less than the blink of an eye, the three curse masters, along with the array core they were guarding, were reduced to ashes.
The pitch-black barrier that had originally obscured the sky shattered and then vanished without a trace.
"hiss--"
"What was that pillar of fire just now?!"
Although Kitagawa Yu quickly put away the fire pillar, this astonishing scene was still witnessed by all the sorcerers, curse masters, and spirits inside and outside the barrier.
Although the sorcerers were shocked, they quickly deduced that this must be their own side, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, the faces of the curse masters and curse spirits turned extremely ugly.
"Damn it, weren't the ones guarding the barrier Kurisaka and Oogami? How could they have been killed so quickly?!"
"The energy emanating from that pillar of fire felt even stronger than that of a special-level sorcerer. Besides Gojo Satoru, when did such a powerful being appear on the sorcerer's side?"
"Could it be that the one who defeated Xia Youjie, Yi Gu You Tai, has returned?"
"."
The hidden sorcerers couldn't help but secretly speculate.
However, Kitagawa Yu was too lazy to pay attention to these small fry. He turned around and said to Fushiguro Megumi, who was still in shock, "The barrier has been broken. Let's go support Nanami-senpai and Gojo-senpai."
"Alright!" Fushiguro Megumi came to her senses and summoned the Shadow Shikigami Nue again, carrying the two of them to the next level of the barrier.
"I don't know the New Yin Flow - Simple Domain, so if an enemy uses a domain to deploy later, you must activate your domain immediately to prevent them from using the guaranteed hit characteristic of the domain to ambush us."
"Yes, senior, I understand!"
Soon, the two entered the next level of the barrier.
There were no survivors left in the area covered by this barrier. Upon seeing this, Fukuro Megumi's heart sank and his expression became solemn.
Of course, Kitagawa Yu actually knew that the survivors in this area were not all dead. Instead, they were sucked into the deepest barrier by Natsuyu Jie using magic, which was the lowest level of the subway station. This was to create an underground space where people were crowded together and it was difficult to move around, in order to restrict Gojo Satoru.
This strategy did force Gojo Satoru to expend more of his magical power and mental energy to avoid accidentally affecting those around him during the battle.
Once Gojo Satoru's energy is depleted and his reaction time and consciousness have declined to a certain level, it will be Xia Youjie's turn to activate the Prison Gate Seal to seal Gojo Satoru.
"Senior Nanami is there!"
Fushiguro Megumi, with her sharp eyes, quickly spotted Nanami Kento, who had entered earlier.
Because of the barrier, Nanami Kento did not see the towering pillar of fire from before, so he couldn't help but show a surprised expression when the two caught up so quickly.
"Why are you here? Didn't we tell you to remove the outermost barrier and let the survivors leave?"
"Don't worry, we've already removed the outermost layer of the barrier—"
Fushiguro Megumi originally wanted to explain the removal process briefly, but Kitagawa Yu, worried that Nanami Kento might discover something, took over the conversation, saying, "Those few henchmen placed the array's core on the rooftop of the tallest building to strengthen the barrier. Fushiguro and I flew up there and wiped them out instantly. This is clearly what I guessed; the main forces of the sorcerers and the cursed spirits should be concentrated in the deepest layer of the barrier to deal with Gojo-senpai, so let's hurry over there to provide support!"
Nanami Kento didn't think much of it, assuming that the curse masters guarding the outer barrier were just a few weaklings, as Kitagawa Yu had said. So, after listening, he nodded and led the two of them to continue towards the next layer of the barrier.
As for the factions within this barrier and the hidden curse masters, he ignored them this time.
Since there are no ordinary people on this floor, there's no need to waste any more time.
However, the curse spirits and curse masters hidden on this level wouldn't let them enter the next level to support Gojo Satoru so easily. Although they had already recognized Nanami Kento's identity as a level one curse master, they still jumped out in order to seal Gojo Satoru and change the power structure of the curse world.
then
"Puff puff--"
Every curse master and cursed spirit that jumped out was engulfed by the sudden flames in the next second, turning into a charred corpse.
Even if Kitagawa Yu could reduce his vitality, it was still something these small fry couldn't withstand.
Nanami Kento immediately recognized that Kitagawa Yu's power came from the Ryujin Jakka in his hand.
Although he was somewhat curious about why Ino Takuma possessed such a powerful 'cursed tool,' everyone has their own secrets, especially when it comes to strength, so Nanami Kento didn't ask any further questions.
This relieved Kitagawa Yu, saving him the trouble of explaining.
Next, Fukuro controlled the Nue realm in the air while also providing directions. With him and Nanami Kento unleashing their full firepower, the three of them quickly broke through this area and entered the third layer of the barrier.
Unlike the previous levels, this level has neither curse spirits nor curse masters; it only has thousands of ordinary people who have been transformed into monsters by a top-level curse spirit master using magic.
This transformation is irreversible; even killing the real person who cast the spell cannot undo it. Therefore, faced with thousands of pitiful monsters, the three had no choice but to kill them all.
“Senior Nanami, leave the monster to me now! My cursed tool itself stores a huge amount of cursed power, and it can manipulate flames and is good at group attacks. The cursed power consumed in dealing with this situation will be much less than yours and Fukuro’s.”
"it is good!"
Nanami Kento adjusted his glasses and did not refuse.
Along the way, he had already roughly deduced Ryujin Jakka's abilities through observation, so he knew that what Kitagawa Yu said was indeed the optimal solution for the current situation.
"torch!"
As Kitagawa Yu swung his sword, a tornado-like flame instantly engulfed all the thousands of monsters crammed into the passage.
The temperature reached a scorching 6,000 degrees Celsius, a temperature that even the powerful physiques these monsters gained after their mutations could not withstand; they were instantly reduced to ashes.
However, the deaths of these monsters caught the attention of the real person who was with Xia Youjie at the lowest level, ready to attack Gojo Satoru at any time.
"What's wrong?" Xia Youjie noticed the change in Zhenren's expression and turned to look at him.
"The more than one thousand cyborgs guarding the top floor of the subway station were killed. It was a brat who could use fire magic. Although the power of his flames was not as great as Louhu's, it was still above the level of a first-level sorcerer," Zhenren explained quickly.
"Oh? A brat who can use fire magic and is above level one? I didn't have this person in the information I had. It seems the sorcerers have quite a few powerful trump cards up their sleeves!"
Xia Youjie raised an eyebrow in surprise and said quietly.
"They barged in without even removing the outer barrier and the curse caster. Did they discover something?" the Master asked.
“I don’t know, but we have to stop them no matter what, so let Tuogen kill them! Tuogen has the power of the sea, which is just right to counter their fire abilities,” Xia Youjie said.
The real person originally wanted to take action himself. His transformation of non-action combined with the guaranteed hit effect of his domain expansion was a bug for ordinary sorcerers who did not have a domain or had a simplified domain. As long as they were touched, their souls would be distorted, and their bodies would also turn into monsters. It was too effective against humans.
However, he also knew that Gojo Satoru was the real enemy.
He also had to stay behind to cooperate with Xia Youjie, Louhu, Hana, and Huaixiang to deliver a fatal blow to Gojo Satoru, so the task of dealing with Kitagawa Yu and the other two could only be left to Togen.
"No problem, just leave it to me!"
Tuogen usually acts in the form of a cursed fetus. Its main body is red, and it is only about one meter tall. Its shape is similar to an octopus, with black stripes on its tentacles. It usually likes to drape a white cloth over its body, and it makes a "poof" sound when it speaks.
However, once in battle mode, it transforms into a tall, humanoid creature with the ability to manipulate massive amounts of water, which theoretically can indeed counter fire.
Chapter 244 Humans are so lacking in martial ethics
However, the relationship between water and fire is always relative; if fire is powerful enough, it can burn mountains and boil seas.
Xia Youjie and Zhenren clearly did not expect that Kitagawa Yu's Ryujin Jakka was far more powerful than it had just shown. Even with his ability to control seawater, Tuogen was no match for Kitagawa Yu.
However, upon seeing Tuogen, Kitagawa Yu suddenly thought of a problem: if he showed too much strength now, would it force Xia Youjie to change his target and use Yumen Jiang to deal with him?
There is only one prison gate, and it can only seal one person.
The reason why Xia Youjie sealed Gojo Satoru was because Gojo Satoru's strength was too great, so great that it completely disrupted the balance.
With Gojo Satoru around, no one on the side of the Cursed Spirits and Cursed Masters could stand up to him; even if they got up, it was useless.
With its six eyes and limitless techniques, it is virtually invincible whether facing group attacks or one-on-one combat. Even the big boss, Ryoumen Sukuna, is no match for it.
However, if he demonstrates the strength to easily eliminate Tuogen, then there is a possibility that Xia Youjie might take notice of him.
After all, in the entire world of jutsu, besides Gojo Satoru, only Ryoumen Sukuna and the deceased strongest physical combat ability user, Fushiguro Jinji, are capable of easily killing a special-grade jutsu spirit.
In addition, the strongest shadow spirit summoned by Fushiguro Megumi at the cost of her own life, the Eight-Handed Sword Ring God General Demon Xu Luo, can fight back and forth with the seventeen-fingered Ryoumen Sukuna, forcing it to open its domain. It can also easily destroy a special-grade cursed spirit.
After all, even though Louhu was more powerful than Tuogen, it was easily defeated by Ryomen Sukuna with 17 fingers, and couldn't even touch the hem of Ryomen Sukuna's clothes.
"How about... having Fukuro Megumi summon the Eight-Handed Sword, the Divine General Demon Void, to deal with Tuogen?" Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but glance at Fukuro Megumi beside him, and such a thought popped into his head.
It's not that he didn't care about Fukuro Megumi's life or death.
After summoning the Eight-Handed Sword Ring General Moxu Luo, Fushiguro Megumi only enters a dying state. He will only truly die when the Eight-Handed Sword Ring General Moxu Luo eliminates the pre-set enemy.
Fushiguro Megumi is a man valued by Ryomen Sukuna. Given Ryomen Sukuna's strength, once Fushiguro Megumi summons the Eight-Handed Sword Ring God General Demon Xuluo, it will inevitably attract Ryomen Sukuna's attention, causing him to arrive as quickly as possible.
In order to save Fukuro Megumi's life, Ryoumen Sukuna will first defeat the Eight-Handed Sword God General Makuro and then kill Tagore.
Only in this way can Fushiguro Megumi survive.
With Gojo Satoru ahead and Ryoumen Sukuna behind, even if he performed a little stronger, Natsume Yuuki probably wouldn't have kept an eye on him anymore.
However, after only a brief moment of thought, Kitagawa Yu rejected the idea.
The reason is that the current Ryomen Sukuna is no match for the Eight-Handed Sword, the Divine General, Demon Xuluo.
This is what Ryoumen Sukuna himself said.
At this time, Ryomen Sukuna only had the strength of six fingers, while the strength of the Eight-Handed Sword Demon General Makuro was roughly equivalent to that of Ryomen Sukuna with fifteen fingers.
With such a huge gap, even if Ryoumen Sukuna possessed a large number of powerful spells and rich combat experience, it was useless. He was no match for the Eight-Handed Sword Ring God General Moxu Luo.
“Fuhei, Senior Nanami, we have just eliminated so many monsters, which will definitely attract the attention of the enemy. If they send someone to stop us, it will probably be a top-level cursed spirit. Otherwise, sending ordinary cursed spirits will only be a waste of time and will not delay us at all.”
"With the strength of a top-tier cursed spirit, even if the three of us could defeat it, it would take a very long time. So I suggest that when another enemy appears, Fukuro should activate his domain to suppress the enemy, and then Nanami-senpai should launch a frontal attack to attract the enemy's attention, while I will use my cursed arts to control my cursed tools to launch a sneak attack from behind and deliver a decisive blow."
"As long as it hits, with the power of my cursed weapon, even a top-grade cursed spirit should be doomed!"
Kitagawa Yu said quickly to Fushiguro Megumi and Nanami Kento as he ran.
After ruling out the previous unreliable idea, his solution was to strike first and not give the opponent a chance to unleash their full power.
In this way, Fushiguro Megumi, who is able to expand her territory, is undoubtedly the most conspicuous.
Furthermore, after changing from wielding a 'cursed weapon' to using a spirit summoning technique to summon the spirit of a mythical beast, 'Sword Control,' even if Xia Youjie noticed him, he would only think that the 'cursed weapon' Ryujin Jakka was more powerful.
Even if Yumenjiang could only seal people, Xia Youjie wouldn't be foolish enough to leave Gojo Satoru unsealed and seal a cursed artifact instead, would he?
"Ino's analysis is correct, Fushiguro. If any enemies appear later, just activate your domain!"
After only a brief consideration, Nanami Kento agreed with Kitagawa Yu's analysis and strategy.
"it is good!"
Fushiguro also had no objection to this.
