Curse Returns: Eight Extraordinary Skills? I lack nothing.

"Anyway, what I like best is a job that doesn't require me to work myself to the bone. Teaching people is safe, easy, and I can even act like a senior."

Miwa Kasumi muttered quietly beside him, "...What you said is so true." Kusakabe ignored her and turned to Yuuto, "Gojo-kun told me that you're short on time, only have three days?"

“Yes.” Yuuto nodded. “On the fourth day, we need to deal with the matters on the list in Kyoto.”

List.

The moment the word was uttered, Kusakabe's expression subtly changed.

The so-called list was compiled by Yuuto and Gojo Satoru, among others, at a meeting the day after the Matsue incident, listing the corrupt elements in the jutsu world.

This matter is not actually a secret. After all, our side has already achieved an absolute overwhelming advantage in combat power, and for those on the front lines, this matter is already public knowledge.

All the conspiracies and schemes, all the scheming and plotting, are nothing but low-class things.

Not worth mentioning.

The only ones still in secrecy are the people on the list.

But it's unclear whether it's due to incompetence at the top or a misunderstanding of their own abilities.

There was absolutely no movement.

Yuuto expressed his incomprehension and disrespect.

And sharpen the knife with all your might.

Kusakabe snapped out of his thoughts and slowly said to Yuuto:

"I can teach you the principles, methods, and techniques in three days. As for whether you can apply them in actual combat, that's up to you."

Yuuto nodded slightly, indicating that he had no objection.

On the way to the training grounds, Kusakabe also took the opportunity to introduce the Shinkage-ryu school:

"The function is actually very simple: it unfolds a circular magical energy barrier with a radius of about 2.21 meters, centered on itself."

"Within this barrier, the guaranteed hit attribute of all external spells will be forcibly neutralized, and any intruders will be automatically countered with magical power."

"Beginners must establish sufficient constraints in order to master the field. For example, Sanwa's favorite constraint is that he must stand still with both feet on the ground, and release it as soon as he moves."

"When you reach my level of skill, you will be free from constraints, and the range of your domain will also increase accordingly."

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Under the guidance of Kusakabe and with the help of Miwa Kasumi, Yuuto barely grasped the operating principle of the Shinkage-ryu.

To truly master it, extensive real-world experience and practice are still required.

Yuuto has already joined forces with Otsukumo, and their first stop is Kamo, one of the three starter families.

Chapter 75 A Rainy Night with a Knife but No Umbrella

Night fell, and a torrential downpour began.

The rain fell like a waterfall, turning the streets and alleys of Kyoto into a landscape of ink wash painting.

Yuuto and Ekito's figures emerged from the depths of the rain.

Yuuto was dressed in a black outfit with a stand-up collar and Chinese knot buttons, a black leather belt around his waist, and a Kikuichimonji Norimune hanging on his right side.

The rain fell on him, but was blocked by a thin layer of magical power; the water droplets were shaken away before they even touched his clothes.

Yi Gu was dressed in a white college uniform and was holding a long knife wrapped in cloth in his arms, with the hilt sticking out from the cloth roll.

The Kamo family mansion came into view at the edge of the horizon. The gray-white wall stretched for hundreds of meters, with a few old pine trees peeking out from the top.

The main gate is a traditional Japanese gatehouse, with a plaque above the door bearing the two large characters "Kamo". Rainwater flows down the plaque.

This family has long been corrupt and decadent, and is one of the biggest parasites in the entire world of sorcery.

Despite its prestigious title, it's full of incompetent old men and sycophantic good-for-nothings.

Those in power are a group of centenarian relic who have never been on the front lines; they are selfish, ruthless, and regard collateral relatives and illegitimate children as waste materials.

The younger generation of loyalists are mediocre in talent, relying on resources to build up their strength. They only bully the weak and fear the strong, engage in infighting and backstabbing, and collapse when faced with tough battles.

The entire clan lacked a leader, backbone, and principles; they were utterly destroyed.

Evil people are everywhere, and conscience is scarce. They claim to be a prestigious family, but in reality, they are parasites that suck blood and devour their descendants. The outer shell is still intact, but the inside is already rotten to the core.

This is a summary compiled by Yuuto based on his memories from his previous life and information gathered by others during this period.

Especially after being reduced to a state of utter depravity, one who has become a traitor and a cripple, a person who has been subjected to humiliation and abuse.

Therefore, the solution for the Kamo family is to kill them!

Those in power, kill them all.

Those who attempt to resist shall be killed.

Among them, Kamo Noriyuki, who was studying at a school in Kyoto, was protected in advance and supported to take over after the purge was completed.

Besides him, several other members of the collateral relatives who also possessed conscience and ability were also properly settled.

This is not a case of womanly compassion, but a necessary political consideration.

The world of sorcery is undergoing a dramatic change, with cursed spirits becoming increasingly rampant, and no force can be easily abandoned.

Although the Kamo family is decaying, its bloodline, resources, and network of protective barriers remain important pillars for resisting calamities.

A beheading is sufficient; there's no need to exterminate the entire clan.

Only by preserving its skeleton and infusing it with new blood can this withered tree sprout anew.

Moreover, the internal strife within the Kamo family was far more intense than the fighting against external enemies.

The elders and their direct descendants are utterly wicked, and the collateral branches and illegitimate children suffer greatly as a result. It is only natural that they would hope that someone would avenge them.

Most of the tribespeople would just stand by and watch, or even secretly cheer.

As they reached the door, Yuuto gave Yigu a final instruction: "Control your strength, and don't release Rika too easily. The elderly, weak, women, and children are not targets."

The guards at the gate spotted the two figures from a great distance.

One of the gatekeepers immediately ran back the moment Yuto arrived, and then the entire Kamo family compound was thrown into turmoil with a cacophony of footsteps.

It was raining heavily at night, and there were two men carrying knives.

This scene just doesn't seem right.

The guards still standing at the door, their hands on their sword hilts, shouted sternly:

"Who goes there!"

Yuuto didn't stop. The rain was so loud, but his voice came through clearly: "Yuuto in spring, Yuuto is filled with sorrow."

Upon hearing this, the guard's expression changed. These two names had recently become the talk of the town in the world of sorcery.

He instinctively took half a step back, his hand already on the hilt of the knife, but he didn't have the courage to pull it out.

"It's getting late, you two should head back."

Yuuto ignored him, stepped over the threshold, and Yigu followed behind him. The two walked into the front yard one after the other.

The front yard was already full of people.

The Kamo family was not unprepared; the elders received the news the moment Yuuto stepped into Kyoto.

They just didn't expect the visitor to be so direct.

They launched an unannounced attack, breaking down the door in the dead of night.

Leading the group was none other than Kamo Kozo, the leader of the Crimson Blood Clan. He was sixty-four years old, a first-class sorcerer, with his arms crossed, and twelve black-clad sorcerers standing behind him.

The Crimson Blood Clan is the Kamo family's sorcerer unit. Every member of the Crimson Blood Clan controls the ancestral spell. The minimum level for a member is level two, and the captain must be a level one sorcerer.

Decades ago, the Crimson Blood Clan had a size of over forty people, with several of them being first-level sorcerers.

But now, among all the Crimson Blood Clan, only Captain Kamo Kozo has reached the level of a Level 1 Spellcaster.

Kamo Kozo looked at the two people who walked in and sneered, "Don't go too far. Do you really think the Kamo family is a pushover?"

Yuuto didn't reply, but said in a calm tone:

"End my own life."

"presumptuous!"

Kamo Kozo was instantly enraged, and the twelve people behind him simultaneously released their curse power, with crimson blood energy rising in the rain.

"Red Blood Legion, heed my command! Kill without mercy!"

Twelve figures rushed out simultaneously. Seeing this, Youren took a step forward and said to Yigu behind him:

"I'll practice a bit. Yi Gu, you don't need to make a move yet. These guys are nothing to worry about."

As soon as he finished speaking, Youren activated his thunder magic, and lightning exploded beneath his feet, the blue-white arcs of electricity turning the rainwater on the ground into a mist.

His figure disappeared into the fog, only to reappear three meters away.

Without drawing his sword, he clenched his right fist and, with a burst of golden light, slammed it into the chest of the mage charging at the front.

The man was thrown backward as if hit by a truck, crashing through the wooden door behind him and into the house, where he remained motionless.

As Yuuto sidestepped the second person's attack, he reached out with his left hand and moved several meters forward in an instant, grabbing the other person's wrist and twisting it gently.

The sound of bones cracking was especially crisp in the rain, and the man screamed and fell to his knees. Youren raised his knee and smashed it into the man's face, sending blood and teeth flying.

The third and fourth attacked simultaneously from both sides.

Yuuto spun in place, his right leg sweeping horizontally. The Golden Light Mantra condensed into a blade of light on his leg, sweeping across the waist and abdomen of both of them.

Both of them were thrown out at the same time and crashed into the courtyard wall.

"Attack together!" Gangzang roared upon seeing this.

The remaining eight people simultaneously formed hand seals, and crimson blood lines shot out from their palms, weaving into a large net that enveloped Yuuto.

Yu Ren glanced at the blood net, raised his hand, and gathered lightning in his palm, transforming it into a pillar of lightning to meet the blood net.

Lightning collided with the bloodline, instantly tearing the blood net apart. The lightning bolt continued its relentless advance, striking the crowd.

All eight people were sent flying backwards at the same time, crashing to the ground, their bodies charred black, motionless, and already dead.

Yuuto looked at Kamo Kozo: "It's your turn. Get ready to go to hell and join them."

Kamo Kozo gritted his teeth, formed hand seals, and unleashed the full power of the Blood Lock Strangulation.
