Curse Returns: Eight Extraordinary Skills? I lack nothing.

He glared at the crowd with hatred, then made a hand seal.

Yuuto thought he was about to unleash his domain, so he quickly led Toudou Aoi backward. At the same moment, Tsukumo Yuki had already prepared her domain.

To everyone's surprise, a burst of intense green light suddenly erupted from the plague.

This light was extremely peculiar; it was composed of magical power, so bright that everyone was unable to open their eyes.

Yuuto quickly closed his eyes and manipulated the cursed spirits to form a wall in front of the three of them.

Unexpectedly, what greeted the three was not an attack, but the empty shell of a plague-infected body.

Its blue core, just like when Yuuto and he met last time, has broken away and started drilling into the water pipes.

But Yuuto wouldn't make the same mistake twice; he was prepared.

He was surrounded on all sides; if one side was missing, he wouldn't alert the enemy.

Yu Ren raised his hand, and lightning magic condensed in his palm. Five lightning talismans flew out at the same time.

The lightning and the talisman struck the core of the plague simultaneously, causing the blue crystal, which resembled a tiny person, to tremble violently and emit a mournful cry.

But in the end, he still managed to crawl into the sewer pipe at an extremely fast speed, his two calves almost leaving afterimages.

It passed through the pipes, turned the corner, and the light of the exit was already in sight.

Just as he was basking in the sunlight, preparing to mock Yuuto and the others for their incompetence, a giant hand reached out from the shadows and grabbed him.

That's Rika.

She grasped the plague and floated to Yi Gu, happily saying:

"Yota, Yota, quickly praise me..."

Just as Yigu was about to praise Rika, the plague suddenly shrank to a tiny size, scratched out of Rika's palm, and then expanded wildly again.

In just three seconds, it went from the size of a fist to a five-meter-tall giant.

Just then, Yuuto, Aoi Toudou, and Yuki Tsukumo gathered around.

The three men formed a triangular formation, blocking the plague in the middle.

Yigu stood in the middle, holding a long sword, ready to cripple Yuuto as agreed with him.

Suddenly, the plague opened its mouth and let out a piercing scream.

Dark purple curse power surged from his body, swirling wildly around him.

The stance looked like it was gathering strength, preparing for the final blow.

As Yu Ren raised his hand, hundreds of talismans were already spread out around him. At the same time, the others also prepared to face the plague's final counterattack before its death.

Then the plague broke out.

Its blue, translucent body instantly disintegrated into tens of thousands of fragments, which flew in all directions.

"Spell sequence, maximum output..."

Just then, a voice rang out from behind them.

Gojo Satoru, with Natsumi Yuuki by his side, stood at the edge of the breach, his right hand raised, fingers spread:

"Azure!"

Chapter 66 Death from the Plague

A pale blue sphere slowly appeared in Gojo Satoru's hand and began to spin rapidly before he tossed it high into the air.

Otsu and the others already knew about Yuuto's plan, and withdrew from Sou's range a second before Gojo Satoru appeared.

Hanging in mid-air, it began to collapse, like a miniature star that had been ignited.

A powerful suction burst forth in an instant, tearing the gravel off the ground and crushing it into powder through the suction.

The blue fragments that the plague had broken off were also among them, struggling frantically in the suction, trying to fly in different directions.

But the force was too great; not a single fragment could escape. They were like grains of sand clutched in the palm of a hand within the vortex.

Finally, the fragments reassembled, coalescing into a fist-sized blue crystal, which was firmly locked in place by the gravity of the sky.

Gojo Satoru beckoned with his finger, and the gravitational pull dissipated.

The crystal fell from mid-air and hit the ground.

The plague was suppressed so severely that it could not split again in a short period of time.

Inside the crystal, a miniature version of the plague is slowly taking shape, like an insect trapped in amber.

His movements were slow, and his eyes were unfocused, as if he had been broken.

Yuuto walked step by step to the front of the plague, and Toudou Aoi followed and stood to his left.

Eki stood on the right, Tsukumo Yuki leaned against the wall without moving, and Gojo Satoru pulled Natsume Yuuki to his side. The two stood side by side, just enough to plug the last gap.

The five people formed a circle, looking down at the fist-sized blue crystal on the ground.

The plague raised its head in the crystal, reflecting five faces.

It opened its mouth, but no sound came out.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The crowd gathered together, laughing as they watched the plague spread.

Yuuto stepped on the crystal that had turned into plague and crushed it with force.

"Keep running! Go ahead and keep running. You think you're so fast? Run another one and see!"

He got more and more excited as he talked, and with increased force, he stomped the crystal directly into the ground.

Yi Gu watched from the side and said with a smile, "It's good that I listened to You Ren and made preparations in advance. Otherwise, this guy would have really gotten away."

Yu Ren shook his head: "It's because everyone is capable and willing to cooperate. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy."

Ever since the first time he let the plague escape from his hands in the warehouse, Yuuto realized one thing—this thing is a Jujutsu Kaisen version of Muzan, who is extremely afraid of death.

Therefore, after discovering the traces of the plague, he directly took command.

Firstly, he discovered it himself, and secondly, he had a cursed spirit that could act as an informant, making it easier to coordinate with all parties.

In addition, he gained the support of Gojo Satoru.

Yu Ren originally didn't plan to contact him, wanting him to continue enjoying his time with Xia Youjie.

Unexpectedly, this guy discovered Yuuto's cursed spirit and took the initiative to communicate and inquire, so Yuuto added them to his plan.

Then came the tight arrangement, a veritable net that made it impossible for the plague to escape.

Besides the few people present, several level-one sorcerers were scattered around the perimeter, completely surrounding the area. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it an ambush from all sides.

After thoroughly insulting the plague, Yuuto prepared to take action.

He did not intend to keep the plague alive, or to subdue it by using the Spirit Binding Technique.

He planned to kill him outright.

This guy's combat strength is extremely weak; it's questionable whether he can even defeat a level one sorcerer.

What's the use of having it?

His ability is to infect humans, similar to a viral source; keeping him around would be too dangerous.

If it falls into the hands of malicious people, or is thrown out again, it could lead to the accidental deaths of countless people.

The plague, finally able to speak, stared at the crowd with cannibalistic eyes.

So what followed was a heart full of helplessness and anger.

But even on his deathbed, he must make these humans pay the price.

He had one last trick up his sleeve.

Furthermore, the negative energy, or curse power, that I have collected during this period is almost gone.

However, the prerequisite for using it is one's own death, so he felt that he had to do something before he died.

He looked at Youren, his method of causing trouble still being to undermine the Dao Heart:

What difference would it make if you killed me now?

"Your pride in justice is a joke in front of me."

"Look behind you, hundreds of thousands of dead souls are watching you."

"It was your incompetence back then that led to their tragic deaths..."

"Shut up!" Before anyone else could speak, Xia Youjie suddenly went berserk for no apparent reason.

He was very worried that these words about the plague would cause Yuuto to feel guilty.

He is already deeply mired in darkness, and Yuuto, who possesses the same abilities as him, should not fall with him.

He wanted to recruit people, but he needed a mentally and physically healthy person, not someone as twisted as himself.

Yuuto showed no remorse or fear on his face, but instead gave a cold laugh:

"You think you can sway me with a few crazy words?"

“These hundreds of thousands of lives were not lost because of me, but because of you. I did not hold a knife to your throat and ask you to kill them.”

"Even if it's a flimsy excuse, because I didn't kill you back then and that's what caused this disaster, it's precisely for that reason that I have to kill you with my own hands and give everyone an explanation."

"Instead of blaming yourself and getting bogged down in internal conflict."

Looking at the bewildered expression on the face of the plague, Yuuto delivered the final blow to his psyche:

"The people you killed weren't weapons to defeat me; they made me understand better what I should do."

Before he finished speaking, Yuuto had already summoned Kikuichimonji from the system warehouse and, without the slightest hesitation, used all his strength to slash at the plague.

Almost instantly upon contact, the crystal's exterior was cut open, and the plague's hidden core inside was also split in two.

[System Notification: Defeat the Superior Cursed Spirit Plague, gaining 2 points.]

Hearing the system announcement, Yuuto felt relieved.

Even the most cunning rabbit with three burrows cannot escape death; the plague has been completely eradicated.
