A Bizarre Adventure That Begins in Jujutsu Kaisen

Chapter 120 No More Than Li, Part 3 (1/5)

The shattered metal fragments shot out in all directions like shrapnel.

Li Cunxiao didn't even glance at the broken spear tip. He stepped back with his left foot, and the spear twisted out from his waist.

This move is called "Returning Horse Twisting Spear". The spear shaft is rotated close to the waist to store power, and the force of twisting the body and hips is amplified several times.

The jagged, notched spearhead gleamed coldly, aiming straight for Dio's heart.

Theo dodged the deadly stab by a hair's breadth, the cold, broken blade grazing his ribs and taking another piece of clothing with it.

He leaned back and kicked his left leg upwards, his toes landing precisely on the middle of the spear, sending it flying high into the air.

Taking advantage of Li Cunxiao's slight pause in his stance, Dio turned around, twisted his waist and thrust his shoulder, and the Soul Release Blade transformed into a straight, cold light, swiftly stabbing at his opponent's throat.

Li Cunxiao remained calm in the face of danger. Holding the spear in his right hand, he suddenly struck the ground with the butt of the spear, using the force to leap half a zhang into the air, narrowly avoiding the throat-severing blow.

He spun in the air, and the horizontal nail below the spearhead drew a complete arc around his waist, pointing upwards towards Theo's chin!

This move was incredibly fast, leaving no room for evasion.

Then I won't avoid it!

Dio flicked his blade, precisely parrying the incoming horizontal nail, and then, just as he did, leaped into the air, headfirst and feet sideways, executing a "scorpion tail swing".

With the force of his entire body weight and rotation, his right heel slammed into Li Cunxiao's unprotected chest!

As if struck by a mountain, Li Cunxiao's heaving chest left a clear footprint, which traced an arc in the air before he flew backward.

However, as he flew backward, he stepped on the invisible "density surface" of the air, and with a few skillful aerial steps, he dissipated most of the terrifying impact force and finally spun around and landed steadily.

Li Cunxiao held his spear horizontally across his chest, his gaze fixed on the weapon in his hand.

At this moment, the spearhead was shattered, the crossbar was loose, and the shaft was covered with tiny cracks.

In the intense battle that just took them to the extreme, this first-class cursed artifact, known for its sturdiness and durability, was on the verge of collapse.

He looked up at Theo, his eyes showing no sign of dejection, but rather bursting with an unprecedentedly fervent fighting spirit. His aura surged, stirring the surrounding air: "Theo, this Yu King Spear is about to give out! Let's settle this with one last move!"

"Alright!" Theo replied in a deep voice.

Li Cunxiao exhaled, stepped forward, and thrust out his spear.

This spear strike was unpleasant.

To an onlooker, it even appears slow.

There was no shrieking sound that tore through the air, no shockwave that broke the sound barrier, no afterimage, and none of the earth-shattering, weather-changing commotion that a peerless master would make when unleashing a decisive blow.

The spear simply thrust in without any resistance.

The speed is uniform, and the trajectory is straight.

Just like farmers carrying their hoes home at dusk, just like fishermen hauling in their nets in the morning mist.

It's so natural, as if it were meant to be this way, with a touch of rustic simplicity.

Because he no longer needs to be "fast".

This spear technique has discarded all superfluous variations, follow-up moves, and feints, entrusting everything to the intuition honed through countless trials.

He simply chose the right direction at the right time and thrust out the right spear.

The ultimate goal of being the first is to use a transcendent sixth sense to perceive and capture all information, and to complete real-time calculations and predictions of the "future" in an instant.

This spear is aimed directly at "The Future Theo"!

Dio stared at the slowly approaching spear and couldn't help but activate the concept of "six eyes".

He saw the tiny ripples created as the jagged, broken tip of the spear sliced ​​through the air.

He saw the perfect rhythm of Li Cunxiao's muscle fibers working together like precision gears when he exerted his full strength.

After he saw this spear strike, all possible variations and follow-up moves spread out like branches and leaves.

His brain and soul began to work overtime, and Theo tried his best to "imitate" this feeling, integrating it with his lifelong combat experience.

Then, he also touched upon the ultimate martial arts realm called "foreseeing the future"!

He exhaled and made a sound, his waist and hips vibrating violently.

The spine trembles like a great dragon, the power rising from the heels, passing through the knees and hips, penetrating the spine, reaching the shoulders and elbows, and finally converging between the wrists and fingers.

With a flick of his arm, the "Soul Release Blade" met the attack!

This was an all-out, all-consuming strike, like a torrent of fire.

The blade and the spear met in mid-air.

There was no loud noise.

There was only a very faint, almost imperceptible "hiss".

It was like red-hot iron falling into water, or like thin silk being sliced ​​open by a sharp blade.

Time in our senses is stretched infinitely at this moment, and then suddenly returns to normal in the next instant.

The two figures passed each other, standing back to back.

Li Cunxiao lowered his head and looked at his chest again.

On the garment, an extremely thin, straight tear running from left to right was slowly emerging.

Immediately, bright red blood beads seeped from the crack, gathering into a stream that slowly flowed down.

The broken blade of the Yuwang Spear in his hand snapped in two, the horizontal nail fell off, and it clattered to the ground.

The 800-pound divine weapon had now been completely transformed into a long staff.

"This is what is meant by 'a single move in the battle,' or 'a single misstep in chess,' leading to defeat. This statement describes you, not me."

Dio turned around, his long sword trembled slightly, shaking off the blood droplets on the blade, and spoke.

"You, who were possessed by that young man, are a tyrant with zero magical power," which should overwrite the original spell's effects, right? How do you plan to undo it?

Li Cunxiao burst into loud laughter, his laughter as bold and thunderous as thunder: "Haha, it's alright! Those who are meant to die will die, and those who are meant to live will live."

This spell can't trap my soul. Once I've had my fill and returned to the afterlife, this kid will awaken on his own!

Before he finished speaking, he swayed, but did not fall.

Li Cunxiao held the broken spear across his chest, his eyes blazing as he stared directly at Dio.

Dio stared at him for a long time, then suddenly sheathed his sword and threw it into the shadow beneath his feet.

That's enough.

Li Cunxiao raised an eyebrow: "Aren't we going to settle this with a winner?"

Theo shook his head and turned to walk towards the carriage door: "You've already won the martial arts contest. I was only able to defeat you by one move because I had the advantage of my weapon."

"Oh? Yet you didn't even use any spells!"

"I gained this innate superhuman strength at the cost of permanently losing my magical powers, but you are a sorcerer—why don't you use spells? Are you looking down on me?"

"I wouldn't dare." Diora opened the car door, still not turning around, but simply waving her hand, "The Sui and Tang dynasties were the strongest, their reputation is well-deserved."

To have fought me to this point is something to be proud of.

Without a suitable weapon, you will die if you continue fighting. I have a kind heart and cannot bear to see someone die far from home.

He got into the car, pondered for a while, and then instructed Ailian, "Change our destination. We'll go to the headquarters of the International Atomic Energy Agency in Austria first."

Press the button, and the car window slowly rises.

Through the glass, Theo glanced at the still-standing figure and said calmly, "If there's a chance, let's meet again in our homeland."

Li Cunxiao watched the departing convoy and suddenly burst into laughter again.

"What a madman! Next time we meet, we'll definitely drink ourselves into a stupor!"

He tidied up the mess, hoisted the broken spear onto his shoulder, and strode away towards the east.
