Curse Reply: After choosing Nawa, the cursed spirit cursed me for being cruel.

Two small dogs, one black and one white, squatted on either side of his legs, wagging their tails rapidly. When they saw Duanmu Yan come in, the black dog rushed over first and circled his feet twice.

"I've already told you about tomorrow's plans, haven't I?" Duanmu Yan sat down opposite Hui and casually patted the black dog's head.

“I told you.” Hui looked up at him. “Teacher Gojo said that the Demon Lord is the strongest shikigami among the ten shadow spells, and no one has ever successfully subdued it. He said that as long as I summon it, with Teacher Duanmu and him watching over it, nothing will happen.”

“What he said is true. But you need to understand first what exactly the Demon Void is.”

Hui withdrew her hand from the jade dog, sat up straight, and nodded.

Duanmu Yan raised a finger. "First, Mo Xuluo's sword is called the Demon-Slaying Sword. The sword carries positive curse power, and cursed spirits will die if they touch it. It is not as effective against sorcerers."

"Any move it has seen once will become ineffective the second time."

"Secondly, I will go first tomorrow. You will hide in the shadows and observe the entire battle process from your shadow."

Duanmu Yan's tone became serious, "Hui, it's too early for Moxu Luo for you right now. But this opportunity is rare. You need to see clearly how it fights, and how its demon-slaying sword deals with different attacks. When you grow up and have enough strength to face it, everything you see today will become your weapon."

Fushiguro Megumi nodded solemnly and said, "I know. I will read it carefully."

Duanmu Yan stood up, and as he walked to the door, he turned back to look at him again.

The sea urchin-headed brat had already sat back down cross-legged, rubbing Jade Dog Black's ears with one hand and flipping open a book on the table explaining the basics of spell power with the other.

He smiled and gently closed the door.

I can't wait for tomorrow's big meal!

……

The next day, in a desolate area on the outskirts of Tokyo that had been designated as a restricted zone for many years.

The ground was covered with gravel, and withered shrubs stood sparsely on the surface. There was no sign of human habitation within a ten-kilometer radius.

Gojo Satoru put his hands on his head and looked around. "This place is actually quite suitable for taking things apart."

He turned his head to look at Duanmu Yan, who was flexing his wrists, a smug smile on his lips. "Hey, you're not going to lose, are you?"

Duanmu Yan turned his head and gave him a smile: "We will win."

Xia Youjie stood a little distance away, his hands tucked into his sleeves.

He decided to come over as soon as he heard the news yesterday. He said he was worried about the three reckless guys getting together, but in reality, he also wanted to see for himself the strongest shikigami that could rival the Six-Eyed.

He didn't say much, only telling Duanmu Yan to be careful before he left.

Fukuro Megumi stood in the open space between the three. The wind of the wasteland made his urchin-shaped hair ornament sway slightly. He took a deep breath, interlaced his ten fingers in front of him, and formed an ancient and complex hand seal.

Beneath his feet, the shadow that had been lying quietly on the ground suddenly boiled, churning and expanding like scalding ink, fiercely extending in all directions.

The air was compressed into a sharp, mournful sound, and the pebbles and sand on the ground were suspended in the air by the surge of magical power.

Hui's face turned pale instantly, and she gritted her teeth as she uttered the incantation: "Furube...Yura Yura".

The core of the shadow exploded into a towering dark pillar, and the phantom solidified in the darkness, its pair of enormous white pupils, larger than a human head, suddenly opening wide.

The Eight-Handed Sword, the Otherworldly Ring God, and the Demon Void were successfully summoned.

The moment it stepped out of the shadows, the pebbles beneath its feet were crushed into dust, the blade of the demon-slaying sword on its shoulder gleamed coldly in the sunlight, the eight-leaf wheel above its head remained still, and its gaze instantly locked onto Duanmu Yan opposite it.

Fushiguro Megumi swayed, and was immediately dragged into the shadows by her animal friends at her feet.

"Nawa Armor, absorb the power of the raging flames, combine."

Duanmu Yan snapped his fingers, and the Nawa Armor instantly combined.

"A feast awaits me?"

He pushed off the ground with his right foot, leaving a trail of scorching flames, and charged head-on towards Mo Xuluo without any hesitation.

The Molten Scale Blade took shape in his hand, and a blazing white light rose from its blade. He slashed at the Demon-Slaying Sword that Mo Xuluo had raised.

Flames and the clash of swords tore through the wasteland, and shockwaves crushed the surrounding rocks into fine powder.

As the giant arm of the Demon Void Luo parried, before the sparks had even dissipated, Duanmu Yan's second strike followed closely behind.

"Molten Flame Split Demon Cleave".

Demon Void was forced back by this attack.

Duanmu Yan did not stop; instead, he lunged forward and slashed down heavily with his sword.

Each strike was heavier than the last, smashing the ground beneath Mo Xuluo's feet, causing it to crack and collapse, and forcefully pressing down on its massive body.

Duanmu Yannawa's fighting style is like this: he doesn't give you a chance to breathe or think; he strikes one blow after another, each blow heavier than the last, relentlessly attacking until you can't defend anymore.

Mo Xuluo remained expressionless, but the eight-petaled wheel above his head silently rotated one tooth.

He has adapted to the high temperature of the molten flame.

With a backhand slash, the blade tore through the air. Duanmu Yan dodged the blade, and the Melting Scale Blade swept upwards, the back of the blade knocking aside the Demon-Slaying Sword. The blade then followed up with a horizontal slash at the waist of Demon Void Luo.

The slash tore a scorching gash in the abdomen of the Demon Void Demon, and molten flames poured into the wound, causing the cursed power within its body to crackle and explode.

This time, the eight-leaf wheel above Moxuluo's head rotated another tooth.

Its body recovered instantly.

Adapt again.

"Nawa's playing style is still so violent, but Moxu Luo seems to be adapting to him. Is this the legendary adaptation to everything?!" Gojo Satoru pushed up his sunglasses, his tone carrying a rare seriousness.

This Demon Void Demon truly lives up to its name as the strongest shikigami; being able to withstand a single strike from Duanmu Yan already qualifies it as a top-tier shikigami.

Xia Youjie stared at the eight-leaf wheel slowly rotating above Moxu Luo's head, his brows furrowing slightly: "Its power is increasing, not just adapting, but also learning Nawa's attack rhythm."

After several exchanges, Moxuluo gradually adapted to Nawa, and Ava's once-proud attack power became less effective.

With a backhand strike, the sword's edge tore through the air. Duanmu Yan decisively retreated, switching to Tuonado in mid-air and transforming into a straight green shadow.

"Interesting, that's what I want."

Chapter 181 Family, can I still live?

The moment the armor of the Tuonado was put into place, Duanmu Yan was no longer in his original position.

The wind element propelled him to his maximum speed, leaving a green afterimage around Mo Xuluo.

The spot where he was standing was struck by the Demon-Slaying Sword, and a deep trench was blasted open in the ground. But the next second, Duanmu Yan had already cut into Mo Xu Luo from behind.

The Hurricane Shadow Dart flew from his hand, its emerald green blade spinning, and decapitated him instantly.

The next second, the wound on Mo Xuluo's neck miraculously disappeared.

It turned to chase the swirling hurricane dart, but Duanmu Yan had already cut to its other side.

He swung his right leg, which was enveloped in hurricane element.

"Gale Tornado Kick".

The whirlwind kick aimed straight for Mo Xuluo's knee, causing Mo Xuluo to bend one knee and briefly lose his balance.

Duanmu Yan seized this tiny window of opportunity, gripped the Hurricane Shadow Dart, and pulled out the Elemental Key to insert it.

"Azure Kite Pierces Demon Explosion".

A massive arrow of wind pierced his chest, and wind elements exploded inside the wound, causing Mo Xuluo's body to tremble.

Duanmu Yan's movements were fluid and seamless, taking no more than a second from entry to exit.

This is the fighting style of Tuonaduo: no head-on collisions, no entanglements, hit once and run away, then come back from a different angle, making your opponent always chasing your shadow.

Duanmu Yan raised the Mad Kite Bow again, and the arrows of wind reformed. "One more time, Azure Kite Piercing Demon Explosion."

Only now that his curse power has increased can he dare to play like this, releasing one level one curse and two level three curses in succession.

boom--

A huge arrow pierced through the air, but surprisingly, a giant arm caught it.

Mo Xuluo slowly rose from his kneeling position, his wounds healing at a visible speed, and the wheel above his head began to spin again.

They've also adapted to attacks from the wind element.

It crushed the arrow in its hand, turned to face Duanmu Yan, and smiled confidently.

It can adapt to anything.

The second tactic was useless against it.

Duanmu Yan stopped his attack and smiled as he watched the wounds on Mo Xuluo's body healing at a visible speed.

This was indeed a rare and wonderful meal.

But if it gets used to it any longer, it will become really difficult to deal with.

So he pulled out a huge summoning device.

"Thunder Yatalis, the forces of justice in the world, unite!"

The phantoms of the four elements were simultaneously projected from the summoning device at his waist. Four pillars of light—flame, wind, sea, and rock—soared into the sky from the ground, converging at their highest point, while a golden lightning bolt cleaved down from the void, engulfing Duanmu Yan within them.

The moment the armor took shape, blazing white arcs of electricity tore through the air.

Duanmu Yan raised his hand and made a grasping motion, which condensed into a sword wrapped in lightning.

"Heaven and Earth Thunder Sword".

After summoning the Heaven and Earth Thunder Sword, Duanmu Yan had no intention of giving Mo Xuluo any time to adapt.

He gripped the sword with both hands, and the four elemental runes on the sword lit up simultaneously, causing his entire body's magical power to begin to gather wildly.

To defeat the Demon Void Demon, you need the power to instantly kill it.

Just as he was about to strike with his sword, he heard Gojo Satoru's voice from behind.

"Wait a minute, Duanmu! Let's have a competition!"

Duanmu Yan: ? ? ?

He turned to look at Gojo Satoru, "What time is it now? You're still thinking about the competition?"

Gojo Satoru smiled at him, extended one hand, bent his middle finger and interlocked it with his thumb, and assumed the starting stance for the Void Formation.

"After all, it's not convenient for the two of us to directly fight. Let's see whose ultimate move is more powerful."

He turned his head to look at Xia Youjie, who was standing in the distance, and said, "Jie, you're here too. Didn't you say you'd learned a new special skill?"
