Curse back: As a swordsman, what's wrong with a happy ending?

Chapter 290: Wolves Waiting for an Opportunity

23:35

JR Shibuya Station, New South Exit.

There were ruins everywhere, the blood of the cursed spirits had contaminated the entire ground, and the smell of blood in the air was so strong that it made people vomit.

"Hey, hey..." Kusakabe tightly grasped the Japanese sword at his waist, his face looked extremely ugly, and fine beads of sweat covered his entire face.

In front of me, dozens of meters away, a slender figure was slowly walking towards me.

The man was wearing a grayish-white monk-like robe, had short hair with bangs, and had a calm look in his eyes.

Satomi is an ancient magician who followed Sukuna thousands of years ago.

Every time he took a step forward, a small piece of extremely cold frost would appear under his feet, and the white mist would completely envelope him.

Occasionally one or two low-level flying curses would fly past him, and the next moment, they would be frozen into a ball of ice and fall straight down.

blah blah——

Then it shattered into a ball of ice.

Kusakabe suddenly drew out his long sword, held it steadily in front of him, and swallowed lightly.

Behind him, Panda and Dog Juanji were ready on the left and right.

Li Mei kept walking slowly towards this side without changing his pace.

"Hey, how about we have a discussion--" Kusakabe's eyelids kept twitching, and he opened his mouth to try to talk to the person in front of him.

...As the saying goes, "left eye twitching means good fortune, right eye twitching means disaster." He doesn't think this is a good sign.

What's more, the kid coming towards him looked like he was of top-grade caliber - he didn't want to risk his life here!

"Get out of the way." Li Mei said in a cold tone, without any emotion.

"No... it's like this -" Mr. Kusakabe babbled, trying to explain clearly, "If possible, I don't want to stop you... but could you please take a detour and go through the next block?"

——After all, Su Ze had clearly said before, "If we let an enemy slip through his reach, we will hold him responsible later."

Of course it would be best if you could get the other party to choose another route.

Mr. Kusakabe was very talkative and kept talking: "It doesn't take much time to go to the street next door. There are no magicians there right now, so it's very convenient..."

... "Special Grade", he didn't want to face it directly for both emotional and logical reasons.

Send the opponent away first, and then wait for your top combat force to come to your rescue - this is the best solution.

Although the other party was unmoved, Mr. Kusakabe was not discouraged at all.

"Besides, you see, we don't have any hatred, so there's no need to fight to the death—"

"Sorcerer...are you making fun of me?" Rimei suddenly raised her eyelids and glanced fiercely at Kusakabe.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment, and a faint light flickered.

All the hairs on Kusakabe's body suddenly stood up, and a blue circular magic formation instantly formed under his feet.

He shook his wrist and swung the knife almost as a conditioned reflex.

The knife shadow drew two arcs in the air.

Hyperactivity

Pong!

The next moment, two pieces of ice cones fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

Kusakabe's teeth were grinding and his back was covered with cold sweat. The long sword in his hand was swung twice at an extremely fast speed, accurately and timely blocking two ice cones flying towards him.

The azure magic circle beneath his feet was emitting bright light, and the faint fluctuations of spell power surrounded him tightly.

New Yin Flow - "Simple Field".

The effect of the "Simple Field" used by Kusakabe is different from that of Miwa's "Simple Field". The "Simple Field" used by Kusakabe will not be canceled by moving his feet.

At the same time, when he used the "Simple Field", he almost relied on muscle memory to respond to attacks directed at him in a very short time.

——Sometimes even faster than the reaction of brain nerves.

Li Mei opened his eyes slightly. The seemingly mediocre magician in front of him actually took his attack without any injury.

But then, Li Mei frowned tightly: "... "Simple field"! "

With disgust and anger in her eyes, Rimei gritted her teeth and said, "That villain Kamiizumi Nobutsuna - how dare he spy on Master Sukuna's technique!!"

Mr. Kusakabe heard the shocking bombshell.

Even though there has been such a legend for a long time, I heard with my own ears that the secret moves of my school actually originated from Ryomen Sukuna...

——It is really shocking.

As for the founding ancestor of his own sect being called a villain...to be honest, he really didn't care much about it.

After all, Kusakabe himself has always believed that "the dead are not as important as the living"... If the old man Kamiizumi was not satisfied, he should have refuted it. Why should a junior like him take over his duties?

Li Mei's hair was stained with blood, as if she was furious because someone had secretly learned her master's moves.

The cursed power in his body suddenly exploded, and a white wave of ice and frost instantly swept towards everything around him.

air!

A black spot suddenly flashed in Li Mei's peripheral vision and hit his shoulder from the side.

The next moment, a powerful impact like a small cluster bomb hit.

There was a violent explosion, and the sky was filled with dust, blocking the view.

Kusakabe's expression then eased a little, but he still maintained his coping posture.

At the same time, he slightly grinned and turned his head to look at the source of the explosion.

Ta, tap.

The sound of high-soled boots hitting the hard ground came from the alley of a small building nearby, and a slim and mature figure appeared.

Mingming was carrying a huge axe on his shoulder, his fair hair was tied into a thick braid, and one of his hands was still stretched forward.

"Oh, what a pity, the sneak attack failed~" She pursed her red lips slightly and closed her eyes.

——"Blackbird Maneuvers".

Mingming manipulated the crows to launch a self-destructive attack, and apart from its extremely fast speed, the power of the technique was enough to rival the full-strength attack of a top-level magician.

The previous attack was covered by Su Ze's talisman, and the opponent didn't notice it until the distance was very close.

Above her head, hundreds of pitch-black crows circled around her, their caws sounding incessantly.

A clear voice sounded from behind her: "No! Sister has obviously done a great job!"

"Oh, Youyou, you have such a sweet mouth~"

In the dust over there, Li Mei's figure gradually emerged. On his shoulders, a large piece of thick ice formed, which blocked most of the explosion impact of the Dark Crow.

But there were still thin traces of blood flowing from the shoulder under the frost.

Li Mei sighed softly.

——This body is too weak!

The next moment, another figure suddenly flashed out from behind him. The man was wearing an olive-colored suit jacket and special goggles. He was suspended in the air and swung the blunt knife in his hand heavily.

——"The ten-stroke mantra? Wa Luo Wa Luo."

Intense black sparks appeared the next moment, and crackling waves of magical power were brewing at the point where the blade was about to cut.

"Black Flash"!

boom! !

Li Mei once again created a large piece of ice behind her, but it was almost instantly shattered by the technique enhanced by "Black Flash".

A violent impact landed on his back. He took a deep breath and icy white frost instantly appeared behind him. The cursed frost with freezing effect climbed up Nanami's arm holding the knife, and the latter decisively dodged and retreated.

despair.

On the other side, Zenin Maki arrived at the battlefield shortly after. She stood quietly aside, holding the "Soul-Releasing Sword" in her hand.
