The cursed spirit let out a miserable cry and turned around to strike Dian Yue, but since jellyfish are soft-bodied, it did not suffer much damage.

"A perfect opportunity!" Fukuro Megumi's eyes lit up, and he seized the opportunity to form hand seals, "[Jade Dog]! [Nue]!"

Two jade dogs and a ye emerged from his shadow, attacking from three directions without needing their master's command.

Enraged by the bites and scratches, the cursed spirits suddenly shook them off and jumped away.

It glared angrily at Fushiguro Megumi, making noises that were incomprehensible to others.

It assumed that Fushiguro Megumi was rushing up alone because he wanted a real man's one-on-one fight, and it was happy to do so.

Even when he was exchanging blows with Fushiguro Megumi, he didn't use much of his magical power.

Who knew they lacked martial ethics, and one or two shikigami took the opportunity to grab and bite.

They even poisoned him! What a disgrace to a one-on-one fight!

Since that's the case, there's no need for it to follow any rules of the game!

The power of the curse surged, its momentum rising steadily, and its oppressive force growing stronger.

The next second, it moved.

The speed was incredibly fast, more than twice as fast as before!

Fukuguro Megumi gritted his teeth; his eyes could barely keep up with the speed of the cursed spirit!

He could only keep his shikigami close to him and let them help him defend against some of the attacks.

He could defend himself, but his attention was completely tied up, and he couldn't spare a glance to look at Shunping.

In that instant of carelessness, the cursed spirit slipped through the gap in his defense and struck Shunping with a palm.

"cough!"

Before being hit, Shunpei had Yodogetsu envelop him. The attack traveled through the jellyfish's body, and after a muffled thud, he slid backward.

His breathing became erratic for a few moments, but he quickly regained his composure; his injuries were not serious.

Fushiguro Megumi breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, her thoughts wandering.

That won't work. It's too fast. It's difficult to even defend against, let alone fight.

At least keep up with its speed.

Fushiguro Megumi looked at Nue beside her, her eyes narrowing. "Come on! [Nue]!"

Chapter 91: Similar Beginnings (Part 4)

Upon hearing its master's call, the ye folded its wings and swooped down from low altitude.

Its body shattered into dozens of arcs of electricity the moment it got close to Fushiguro Megumi, and lightning entered Fushiguro Megumi's body from behind.

Lightning patterns appeared on his face, spreading down from his eye sockets and extending all the way to his arms.

Fushiguro Megumi's pupils sharpened, and their color turned a pale orange-yellow.

The clothes on the back were torn from the inside, and a pair of huge wings emerged from the two rips.

The wings had no physical form; pure lightning flowed within the skeletal shape, crackling with electrical currents as they unfolded.

His heels left the ground, and he was suspended in mid-air. The density of his curse power more than doubled in just a few breaths.

"【Ten Shadow Arts - Possession】, 【Nue Form】!"

The cursed spirit felt threatened and rushed over, its fist aimed directly at his face.

Fushiguro Megumi shifted to the side, moving slightly before the fist arrived, the distance of which was just enough for the fist to miss.

Fushiguro Megumi felt the cursed power within his body, clenched his fist, and realized he could keep up now!

So, it's his turn now.

With a flap of his wings, accompanied by the roar of thunder, he appeared beside the cursed spirit.

The cloud swept across, the staff wrapped in lightning, emitting a piercing electric shriek, and slammed into the arms of the cursed spirit as it crossed to block.

"Stab!"

The sound of impact and thunder exploded together, and the cursed spirit was cleaved from mid-air and slammed to the ground by the blow.

Before he even landed, Fushiguro Megumi had already moved behind him.

Youyun thrust upwards, carrying lightning as it pierced the cursed spirit's back, sending it flying again, hovering in mid-air.

The cursed spirit twisted its body forcefully in mid-air, its eyes keeping up with Fukuro Megumi's speed.

The cursed power exploded from its body, forming a shockwave that pushed Fukuro Megumi several steps away.

It landed at the center of the shockwave, its five fingers spread open, the power of the curse condensing into a sphere in its palm.

"what!"

With a loud cry, a spherical wave of magical energy blasted towards it.

A flash of lightning appeared behind him, and Fushiguro Megumi dodged to the side. The cursed ball grazed his chest and exploded behind him.

Another bullet grazed past my body, scorching the hem of my clothes, and the smell of burning filled my nostrils.

Another direct hit came, but he stopped dodging and used his Cloud-Wandering Technique to split it in the middle.

The cursed ball split in two, slid across both sides of the stick, and exploded simultaneously on the ground behind it.

Smoke and dust billowed up, obscuring the view.

The cursed spirit burst forth from the smoke and dust; it had already begun to move the moment the smoke and dust rose.

The fist pierced through the dust and slammed into Fushiguro Megumi's crossed-defense Yuyun. The impact traveled through the staff to his arms, sending him flying.

"cough!"

Fushiguro Megumi's back slammed into the wall, the force of which caused him to cough up blood.

He stood up again, slightly out of breath.

Although the speed has caught up, the power is still much weaker.

"Fukuguro-kun!"

Seeing Fushiguro Megumi being knocked away, Junpei cut in from the side.

Yodo-moon's tentacles simultaneously wrapped around the raised arm of the cursed spirit from three directions, injecting the poison once more.

The cursed spirit turned around and slapped the jellyfish.

Yodogetsu's body was dented by the blow, and her semi-transparent body was almost pierced through by the palm strike, but the tentacles did not loosen their grip.

Fukuro Megumi switched the cloud to his left hand, and the lightning left in Nue's body condensed in his right palm, compressing the scattered arc of electricity into a single point.

The point of light was only the size of a fingertip, but it illuminated the entire barrier.

sprint.

This strike was faster than any of the previous ones; each time his feet touched the ground, lightning would explode from beneath them, making him even faster.

As he rushed towards the cursed spirit, his body was still accelerating, and the lightning spot on the palm of his right hand pressed directly onto the cursed spirit's chest.

The moment they made contact, the points of light exploded into an electric grid, which enveloped the cursed spirit's entire body, causing every part of it to twitch under the electric shocks.

The screams of the cursed spirit were drowned out by the crackling of electricity.

Fukuro Megumi wouldn't stop attacking like that. Yuyun switched back to his right hand and struck the same spot three times in quick succession.

The cursed spirit roared and, despite the electric current surging through its body, slammed both arms down onto Fukuro Megumi's shoulders.

The bones made a faint cracking sound as he was slammed into the ground, sending dirt and gravel flying, and blood foam gushing from his mouth.

Fushiguro Megumi braced himself with his left hand on the ground, trying to pull his body out of the soil, but the cursed spirit had already broken free of its restraints.

Its foot was already raised, ready to stomp him into the ground again.

"Don't think about it!"

The tentacles of the moon wrapped around the leg that the cursed spirit had raised from the side, and dozens of tentacles pulled backward at the same time, shifting the cursed spirit's center of gravity.

The ground cracked open when he stepped on the ground beside Fushiguro.

"It's not over yet!"

Shunping poured all his magical power into Dianyue at once, causing the jellyfish's body to swell up, and its tentacles simultaneously pierced the wounds inflicted on the cursed spirit from all directions.

Even the highest grade poison cannot be ignored once it's been injected multiple times!

The cursed spirit's body froze, the toxins accumulating within it, preventing it from moving an inch.

Fushiguro Megumi didn't want to miss this opportunity, so she suddenly sprang up from the ground.

The lightning of the Nue flowed from all parts of his body into the clouds, his wings disintegrated, and all the lightning attributes on his body poured into the clouds.

The clouds turned from black to blazing white, and the immense energy distorted the surrounding air.

He spat the blood from his mouth onto the gravel at his feet, then gripped the scalding hot stick with both hands and swung it upwards.

"boom!"

The second and third blows arrived at the same time as the first blow landed.

Fukuro Megumi turned Yuyun's dance into a lightning storm, with upward and downward thrusts, horizontal and vertical slashes, so fast that the eyes couldn't keep up with the movements.

"Haa!"

Fukuro Megumi's eyes widened in fury, and with a loud shout, he slammed his final blow, accompanied by a flash of lightning, onto the cursed spirit's head.

"boom!"

The cursed spirit's head exploded, and its charred body slowly tilted down, crashing to the ground with sparks and convulsing.

Fuhei Hui stood still for a moment, and the Youyun slipped from his hand and stuck into the ground, the lightning on the staff extinguished.

His legs trembled and his knees bent, but he used one hand to support his body and prevent himself from falling completely.

The possession state of the nue ended, and there was still a bloody taste in its mouth.

I don't know how many ribs are broken, and I feel a sharp pain in my lungs every time I inhale.

Shunping, who was not far away, was not optimistic either. Dianyue had shrunk to only half its original size and was floating limply on his shoulder.
