Chapter 43 Chapter 39 Jujutsu Battle
To fight? Now? Here!
Fushiguro Megumi nervously formed his hands ready to summon a familiar, not for battle but to protect himself from the fight between Teacher Gojo and Sukuna.
Ijichi Kiyotaka, standing behind the two, was equally tense. He had no fighting capability, and at this time, he was just a burden. However, he whispered cautiously, “Mr. Gojo, it might be unwise to engage the enemy here.”
“There are many civilians around here, there won’t be enough time for an emergency evacuation no matter what.”
“I know,” Satoru Gojo replied.
He was also pondering over how to resolve their current predicament optimally. Engaging with Ryomen Sukuna was a method to buy time.
In either scenario—whether they fought or allowed Sukuna to leave—it would result in considerable harm.
This couldn’t be helped. What began as an opportunity to recruit talent turned out to be a disaster, as the target was Sukuna’s container.
Becoming a vessel for Sukuna was indeed a remarkable find.
Fighting? Yukinoshita Yukino asked, feeling somewhat apprehensive.
There’s no other choice. The other side won’t let us go. This guy’s so provocative; we can’t just be victims, right? Lin Qi commented casually, seemingly trying to soothe the worried girl.
But he was mistaken. Yukinoshita wasn’t disagreeing with Lin Qi using his body to fight. She wasn’t one to take things lying down; she worried that Lin Qi would get hurt… though her worry was for her own body too.
Of course, these thoughts remained in her heart.
Yukinoshita fell silent, and Lin Qi took her silence as acquiescence, unraveling the two red cords tied to his long hair and raising a high ponytail.
“Looks like you’re quite troubled, Nine. Follow me.” With that, his figure vanished.
The sight of the girl abruptly disappearing was shocking to Fushiguro Megumi. He couldn’t even track her movements.
This meant if Lin Qi decided to attack, Megumi wouldn’t have known until the moment he died.
“Hikari, Ijichi, stay here,” Gojo didn’t need to add more. Sukuna’s intentions were uncertain, and they were powerless to stop him.
Saying that, Gojo sensed immense Curse Energy coursing through him like flowing lightning, and with a clap of his hands, he disappeared.
If Lin Qi’s abrupt disappearance was due to unmatched speed, Gojo’s was akin to instant teleportation.
In the blink of an eye, in the high-speed chase outside the city limits, Lin Qi halted sharply while Gojo followed suit.
Surprisingly, he remarked, “Going to such a remote place to halt, does Sukuna care about saving commoners?”
“If we hesitate during the fight, it won’t be satisfying, right?” Lin Qi flexed freely, “And I’ve got to consider the girl’s feelings too.”
“Thanks indeed,” Gojo laughed lightly. “That does help a lot.”
Before he could finish, an attack rushed towards the white-haired man’s handsome face, but halted unexpectedly in front of his eyes.
Lin Qi’s pupils dilated slightly.
“Don’t rush yet, your confusion speaks volumes about my technique…” Gojo tried to explain when his words were interrupted.
“So, it’s infinite like converging series? I see,” Lin Qi realized after a pause, “Your technique is without a limit, right?”
While browsing the system’s list, he saw it listed, though pricey, requiring 100,000 points.
Gojo being interrupted and uncovered embarrassedly, said, “Such ancient knowledge from a thousand years ago still surprises me.”
“What? Isn’t this advanced math? Goro was tormented by this.”
“What are you babbling about,” chuckled Gojo.
Failing his attempt, Lin Qi retreated immediately, dodging Gojo’s palm strike. But then felt repulsion from his lower abdomen.
“Dodged it?” Gojo removed his eye bandages, revealing glowing blue eyes. Glancing sideways at the seated Lin Qi under a tree, he grinned mischievously, “Impressive.”
Despite not using enhanced Chakra, Lin Qi’s reflexes were noteworthy; Sukuna’s strength was considerable.
“Shinra Tensei? You’re Pain?” Lin Qi complained, supporting his cheek.
His eyes should be Rinnegan, if not mistaken.
Utilizing such techniques exhausts vast amount of power; only six paths could balance it out – knowledge gleaned from the system.
Acquiring a pair came at forty times the cost, 400,000 points.
Saying Gojo’s worth 500,000 points was hard to quantify.
“I’m a Jujutsu Sorcerer not a ninja.” His voice echoed, accompanied by a powerful fist breaking the air, “Satoru Gojo, the name shall resonate.”
Fist wrapped in a technique of seven types of gravity, pulling six bodies toward a collision. Nevertheless, Lin Qi held firm, catching Gojo’s punch without a glance back.
Trading blows in mere seconds, shadows cast by punches blurred, trees groaned underfoot, shattering in shame.
Suddenly, Gojo’s collar was caught by a delicate pale hand, tossed aside, crashing through several trees before finally stopping.
Touched?
Though not harmed, Gojo’s face displayed shock.
“A troublesome technique indeed. Being able to only be hit without hitting back isn’t fair, right? If I expand my domain, perhaps the certain hits will neutralize your technique.”
Lin Qi spoke while patting his skirt, displeasure evident, “Wear proper sportswear next time, properly.”
…
Yukinoshita rolled her eyes silently.
“The extent of your domain, the Curse King, indeed swift to unravel my technique without limits,” Gojo praised, “However, now you can’t use yours either. Unfairness remains.”
“Ryomen Sukuna, what do you plan?”
…
One more thing.
