The silence stretched as the King of Hell looked at the lifespan record of the man on the scroll. Normally, he wouldn't bother checking this—after all, only humans are recorded on the \[Book of Life and Death], and generally, human lifespans don't exceed about 120 or 130 years, unless some special techniques are involved.
\[Sunset, lifespan: ??\]
The unknown lifespan left the King of Hell speechless. He also knew that Yuuki was not an ordinary person—such an even match was indeed unreasonable for a \[Contract].
"[Contract], invalid."
The King of Hell suddenly forcefully closed the scroll in his hand, his serious tone seemingly warning Qianru Xue that their contract was now void.
As the King of Hell withdrew her body, she regained control of herself. Looking at the two cursed objects that had become invalid in her hands, her fists clenched involuntarily.
How many cursed objects and cursed tools had already failed?
What exactly is this person?
Why is he so difficult to deal with?
Almost biting her back molars to shreds, Qianru Xue threw the \[Book of Life and Death] and the \[Judge's Pen] back into her robe.
Sacrificing fifty years of her lifespan—basically with the idea of perishing together with Yuuki—she had brought out this item, but now it was still useless...
Lifespan approaching infinity—what a ridiculous guy.
Cursed tools, cursed objects... and more, but all are forbidden objects. Once used, she couldn't be sure whether she could survive.
He's just a clone—why is he so stubborn?
"Damn it, but..."
Her pupils turned scarlet. She was calculating how much cursed energy that guy still had—maybe some other energy similar to cursed energy?
As the leader of the \[Net], when had she ever been so unrestrained?
"Clap clap!"
Qianru Xue slapped her face, calming her somewhat complicated mood. She recalled the Xuanyuan Sword beside her, preparing herself.
"Of course, I will take action. After all, this is our plan, not just yours."
Seeing the sinister aura vanish, she said, "This is our plan, not just yours."
The cursed spirits she summoned were not meant to kill him—rather, they were meant to create a massive \[Vortex].
Yuuki could draw cursed energy from his body, and these cursed spirits undoubtedly helped him recover the energy he consumed. This was no joke.
"Ultimate \[Vortex]."
With the \[Vortex] activated, the rocks above the hundred-meter sky shattered. Yuuki, whose body had been repaired, stepped out, his \[Cycle Eyes] directly staring at the waiting enemies.
The woman in her hand was not wielding some absurd cursed tool or cursed object—just a \[Xuanyuan Sword] capable of ignoring any defenses. He remembered destroying this in Shibuya, but now it appearing in her hand was obvious.
Even if Susanoo were fully unfolded, it would be useless—after all, the memories of his other clones were still in his mind, and he didn't need to consider the \[Six Paths] power anymore. Her cursed tools, however, were even more outrageous.
Right now... only close combat seems feasible.
Deciding so, Yuuki used his \[Repulsive Force] to propel himself forward, flying toward the two on the cursed spirit.
"Bam!!"
The cursed spirit, a \[Black Toad], and a \[Crab], both made of dense water about ten meters thick, shot out from the surface, resisting the oncoming flames covering the sky.
A sizzling sound rang out as white mist spread out. Yuuki burst out from the mist, his \[Cycle Eyes] locking onto the \[Drought Spirit], which had been waiting with sharp claws comparable to a \[Special Grade] cursed tool.
Using his \[Flying Thunder God], he arrived at the \[Earth Exploding Star], waiting for his chance.
(P.S.: Yuuki's clone No. 1 is still in the barrier, shaving the \[Yamato Crab]; he is No. 2, and his clone is No. 3.)
The woman definitely still has other cursed tools—since they want him dead, he might as well disappear and show himself to them, then take out that woman during her moment of complacency and rest.
"Leave it to me."
Watching clone No. 2 vanish, clone No. 3 nodded, then unleashed his \[Repulsive Force], rushing toward the two enemies.
He formed hand seals, and the cry of \[Chidori] rang out, covering his entire body in the next moment.
Cells inside his body were stimulated by lightning, boosting his strength and speed to the maximum. Yuuki charged headlong into the raging flames covering the sky.
"Go."
Seeing the flames cascade like a waterfall, Yuuki, with his \[Cycle Eyes], prepared to unleash his ultimate attack.
"Umm~"
Like a mermaid, the cursed spirit dove into the lake, its beautiful voice instinctively causing the onlookers to relax their guard and admire the enchanting sound.
But within that beauty lurked cruelty. Dozens of ten-meter-wide water pillars suddenly erupted from the surface, resisting the oncoming sky-full of flames.
A crackling sound rang out as white mist spread across the scene. Yuuki burst out from within, his \[Cycle Eyes] locking onto the \[Drought Spirit], which had been waiting with sharp claws comparable to a \[Special Grade] cursed tool.
Centered around the two, with a radius of fifty meters, he activated his \[Jutsu]!!
"Crack—"
The space above collapsed and shattered. Naturally, Qianru Xue instinctively drew out her \[Invincibility Talisman] to block this attack—this was also the last time today.
Golden light shrouded the two of them, and the instantly shattered space did not invade.
Qianru Xue drew a cursed tool, and spoke: "This is the last time I will protect you. Now, disperse—I will personally cut off his head."
"Yes, yes."
Watching Qianru Xue standing atop the floating \[Xuanyuan Sword], Luo Jieni said, with a serious tone, "You can handle it."
Qianru Xue threw the cursed tool into her sleeve, her crimson pupils staring directly at Yuuki flying over, and she took the blood-red longsword, charging forward!
And in Yuuki's eyes, he saw that his \[Impact-Resistant Cursed Tool] had lost its effect—this was his chance.
He raised his right hand, and the terrifying \[Gravity] pulled the incoming Qianru Xue toward him. His left hand slipped into his pocket, leaving a \[Flying Thunder God] coordinate — anyone could sense this.
This meant… the opportunity… was right here, right now.
Hidden inside the \[Earth Exploding Star], Yuuki clone No. 2 sensed the signal from No. 3, and in his mind, Shura's voice was simultaneously transmitted.
