Curse Reply: I'm going to fight the Myriad Corpse Immortal, the highest level one!

"Hey Little Deer, you're not the only one who possesses Thunder."

Facing Lu Ziyunyi, who transformed herself into a blade, Xia Jie formed a sword with her fingers, which was also wrapped with a vast amount of lightning.

At this moment, Xia Jie used almost all of her magical power to influence the electromagnetic force, and then manipulated it to propel her body.

"Thunder Blade - Thousand Hertz!"

The palm strike was swung out faster than Little Deer's Black Flash Lightning Blade, with the remaining trace of cursed power covering the palm tip, successfully triggering the Black Flash mechanism.

Compared to when he first entered the Cursed World and achieved 100% Black Flash through causal resistance, he can now do it purely through skill.

Having already grasped the core of the spell's power, every instinctive attack he launched was a perfect moment of unity between mind and matter. He was only being careful not to use a full Black Flash now because he was afraid of knocking the deer away with his elbow.

Whoa! Boom!

The palm strike, crackling with black and red lightning, shattered the air in its path and collided with the deer's lightning-bladed body, unleashing a deafening roar.

"It's useless. Even if you trigger Black Flash, your palm strike is still no match for my Heaven-Shaving Strike, which is enhanced with my domain!"

"Nothing you do will change your mind. Just obediently let me slice you vertically into wasabi!"

Lu Ziyun's heartfelt words were conveyed to Xia Jie through a spiritual bond.

"Love is the strongest driving force. Underestimating the power of love will lead to defeat, Lulu."

Xia Jie also conveyed her feelings to Xiao Lu through the bond.

Meanwhile, in the live stream:

Is it true or not?!

<Wow, a spatial slash?>

Little Deer: I am a peak Special Grade cultivator, possessing 200 years of wisdom. Who can kill me? Who dares to kill me?

Mustard: This one cut teaches you to avoid arrogance and impatience.

Such comments scrolled by quickly. In the live broadcast, Xia Jie's palm strike sliced ​​through Lu Ziyunyi's lightning blade form in half like a hot knife through butter.

So, given that their total magical power was similar, how did Xia Jie manage to break through Xiao Lu's thunderous slash, which was launched using her domain as a blade, so easily?

The answer is that Xia Jie's "power" is "real," even "absolute."

If the Root's position were used, even a tiny bit of its curse power would be enough to cut itself into 2.5 pieces before it created the pseudo-Root.

Just as falling into the vortex of origin would turn one into nothingness, Xia Jie's source of love can trace everything touched by the curse back to the most fundamental cause of love.

As long as what is cut is not a power more fundamental than the root, it is as easy as cutting paper; this is the essence of true damage.

As a fundamental entity, Xia Jie appeared to be fiercely fighting Lu Ziyunyi, but in reality, she never used her own fundamental characteristics from beginning to end.

After all, using this thing is roughly equivalent to activating Wind Spirit Moon Shadow, which will only cause both sides to lose the combat experience.

At present, Xia Jie has only activated one-infinite fraction of her ability, and cutting down deer is as easy as cutting through air.

So why do we need to activate it?

Nothing more than a sudden urge to hunt for deer, and a bit of an itching to do so after not having admired them for so long.

Since Lu Ziyunyi is currently in an elemental state and has deliberately avoided her soul, this hand chop only looks terrifying, but in reality, it does zero damage.

"Revive the crisis!"

An electronic sound rang out.

As expected, the lightning blade, which had been cut in two by Xia Jie, instantly reunited and returned to its physical form. In fact, because the attack avoided the soul, even the domain did not collapse.

"Hey, did you forget something?" Lu Ziyun, now back in human form, suddenly revealed a smug smile.

"Same here, have you forgotten something too?" Xia Jie pointed to the deer's naked body covered in lightning.

Wearing lightning as clothing can certainly prevent accidental exposure in front of the live stream audience, but it is practically useless for Xia Jie, who has the perspective of the root.

Well, actually, as long as Xia Jie wants to see it, what she wears in front of Genyuan is irrelevant.

It's just that Xia Jie habitually wanted to make a comment because her moral values ​​haven't yet been deified.

"Tsk tsk, as expected of a boring question that only an 18-year-old boy would ask. This is the metaverse, a land of outstanding people and abundant resources."

"A naive boy like you, who grew up in the pure environment of Planet 3K, might one day be taken advantage of by the older, wicked women of the metaverse without even realizing it."

"You should know that dating skills are also a kind of 'skill' that can be practiced."

"The level of love achieved by those battle-hardened, wicked women is no small feat."

With a hint of disappointment, the little deer curled its lips and lightning flashed in its palm.

"Palm Thunder!"

This is a lie.

The real move is—

"Swallow Returns!"

Xia Jie, who could read minds, knew that because he was too young, after the 30-second window, Xiao Lu, who had discovered his excellent fighting talent, turned to his teacher, and their battle actually had a lot of teaching significance.

Right now, Xiao Lu is intentionally demonstrating to herself the basic combat technique of "saying one thing and doing another".

And what she said she had forgotten was something that hadn't been seen for a long time...

Xia Jie did not dodge, allowing her chest to be pierced from back to front, leaving a huge charred hole. The remaining negative curse power was neutralized by the curse power of love, the charge was converted and expelled, and then it quickly healed under the self-healing properties of the cursed spirit body.

The Ruyi Cudgel, which had been planted in the ground at the start of the battle, returned to the little deer's hands with a swallow's flight.

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Due to Xiao Lu's deliberate positioning, Xia Jie, who was in the middle of the two points, suffered a little mishap.

"Why not avoid it?"

The deer frowned. The return of the Ruyi Wand was too obvious; Wasabi should have been able to react by now.

The killing move she was preparing with the Ruyi Jingu Bang wasn't this, so how did it work? Could it be that Wasabi has a weakness in dealing with sneak attacks that she hasn't noticed?

"Because I'm not afraid."

Xia Jie pointed to her chest, which had completely healed in a few seconds.

You can't just say that because I subconsciously activated my primal instincts just now, and now you're backing me up, we're even, right?

"Tch! Bluffing!"

Lu Ziyun and the Ruyi Cudgel, which had inexplicably shortened considerably, disappeared simultaneously, splitting into two groups to attack Xia Jie.

Meanwhile, during the battle, the lightning spells that Little Deer had carved with the Ruyi Jingu Bang while distracted began to show their power.

A canopy of lightning rose from all eight directions, completely sealing off the street where the two were located, creating a smaller dueling arena.

The magical staff melts and cools under electric heat, forming the boundary nails that constitute the nodes of the tent, increasing its strength to a level that is difficult to break in a short period of time.

In Jujutsu Kaisen, things like tents that are linked to barriers and seals are exceptionally overpowered.

Players who use elbow strikes to their advantage will more or less use this kind of technique to close the huge gap on the board.

At the same time, in the live stream, a player named "Chapson" posted a comment:

Brothers, I just sent the behavioral data of Wasabi to the civilian AI of the comprehensive network, asking it to analyze the similarity between Wasabi and Summer Mustard, and the result was a whopping 63%!

The reply followed immediately:

Indeed, if you disregard his appearance, I feel his behavior does have a bit of that of the Heavenly Lord of the Descending Realm.

<You're absolutely right. This cosplayer of the Heavenly Emperor, Mustard, is actually quite similar, except for the fact that she doesn't look exactly like him.>

Fun fact: Summer mustard and wasabi have never appeared together. Do you think it's possible...?

Don't tease you. Big brother, you laughed.
