Curse Return: Demon Void Girl Doesn't Want to Be a Weakling

Hua Yu raised his right arm to block, and the vines exploded the moment the stick hit him, but You Yun's stick continued downwards through the vine fragments and hit Hua Yu's shoulder.

The blow landed squarely, and Hua Yu took half a step back.

Before the newly sprouted vines on her right arm could regenerate, Maki swept across the clouds, the chain of her nunchaku drawing an arc in the air.

The stick bypassed Hua Yu's defenses and struck its left arm.

Fushiguro Megumi charged from Maki's side and rear, flanking Asaka Miyabi from the left.

He only needed to do one thing: every time Maki hit Hanami, he had Tamain block Hanami's counterattack.

Maki didn't need him to say anything; she had already seen Fushiguro Megumi's movement the moment Yuuka hit Hanami's left leg.

Take a half step to the right to create space for attack on the left.

Fushiguro Megumi's claw strike disrupted Hanami's counterattack rhythm.

Then Maki's next attack came, slashing up from below and hitting her chest.

Hua Yu was forced back to the riverbank, and all three blows struck different weak points in her defenses.

This person is very strong.

Maki's Cloud Slammed into Hanami's crossed arms, the chains snapping taut with a thud upon impact.

The riverbed pebbles beneath Hanami's feet flipped to the sides, but she didn't retreat an inch, as three tree branches pierced Maki from the side.

Maki released her left hand, and Yuyun flung it out, tangling it around two branches and snapping them off. She then swept the last branch away with the butt of her gun.

"benefit!"

Fuhei cut in from the side, and the claws in the shape of a jade dog slashed down from above.

Hua Yu sidestepped, its claws scraping the bark on its shoulder, leaving a shallow mark.

After landing, Fuhei immediately pushed off the ground and charged forward again, its white tail wrapping around Huayu's wrist from the left, while its black tail swept across its lower body.

Hua Yu raised her foot to dodge the black tail, but the white tail had already wrapped tightly around her right wrist and was pulling her outwards.

Taking advantage of this opening, Fu Hei retracted his right claw to his waist, gathered his strength, and then slammed it into Hua Yu's chest with all his might.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, Hua Yu's upper body was thrown backward, and his heels dragged two deep marks on the riverbank.

Fukuro's knees wobbled when he landed.

Maki saw it; his claws were slowly retracting, and his tail was twitching uncontrollably.

The Jade Dog form has reached its limit.

"Your possession has reached its time." Maki held Yuuki horizontally in front of her. "Step back."

"I can hold on a little longer," Fu Hei said, panting.

Hua Yu stood up straight. It glanced down at the wound on its chest inflicted by Fu Hei, then raised its head again.

"Your technique is very interesting. It attaches the power of a shikigami to yourself, greatly increasing your physical abilities and spell power density in a short period of time, but it also puts a heavy burden on you."

Fuhei did not answer; he was adjusting his breathing, trying to maintain the Jade Dog form for even just one more minute.

Hanako raised her left arm, and the flower on her arm opened, revealing many tooth-like buds.

Maki's instincts were faster than her conscious mind; the moment the bud detached from the flower, she had already rushed forward.

The three sections of the cloud-swept weapon unfold simultaneously: the first section strikes the flower's face, the second sweeps towards the flower on its chest, and the third blocks its escape route from the side.

Hanami took Maki's direct hit head-on, a large piece of bark was shattered, and then she grabbed Maki's weapon with her left hand.

The force was much greater than before, and Maki tried to pull back, but she couldn't.

Hanami launched the bud, and Fukuro tried to dodge, but his body froze the moment the Jade Dog form was deactivated.

The bud hit his abdomen and burrowed into his skin the instant it touched him.

Fukuro sensed that it was drawing away his magical power.

Hua Yu lowered her arm, the shattered bark on her chest slowly regenerating, her tone unchanged.

"That's a bud; it absorbs the cursed power within its opponent to take root."

"The more times you use the technique, the deeper the bud's roots will grow, and the greater the damage it will cause you."

"If you stop using the spell, you can hold on for a while longer."

It paused for a moment.

"But you probably can't do it, because if the two of you are against me, she will die without you using any spells."

Maki turned around and glanced at Fushiguro.

Fuhei's expression changed as he wondered how many more times he could use his shikigami.

Each summoning causes the sprout to grow deeper, but if she doesn't summon it, Maki can't withstand Hanamichi alone.

"Don't listen to it." Maki gripped Yuuki's hand tightly again. "Don't believe a single word the cursed spirit says."

"I'm telling the truth." Hua Yu raised her left arm. "I have no reason to lie to you."

Fuhei tried once, forming a hand seal with one hand, attempting to summon the Jade Dog from the shadows.

The moment the cursed power flowed, he coughed and pressed his fingers to his abdomen.

The bud was growing, and just one summoning of the Jade Dog made it penetrate deeper into the body.

Maki saw his movement. "What are you doing? I said back off."

"You can't beat it alone if you step back." Fuhei removed his fingers from his chest and formed a new hand seal.

Fushiguro Megumi summoned Nue, and the bud went deeper. He gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound, but sweat seeped from his forehead.

Nue swooped down from the sky towards Hana, and Fukuro seized the opportunity to summon the Jade Dog. The black and white dogs attacked Hana from the side.

Each call pushes the bud deeper into the body.

Maki-senpai is right, you can't believe what the cursed spirits say.

I will squeeze out my magical power, even if it means death.

Unlike others, I choose who to protect.

I carry the least burden.

Therefore, I absolutely cannot fall before everyone else!

He stood up.

Maki was locked in combat with Hanami, while Yuun's three-section staff weaved through Hanami's branches. The cursed chains severed one branch after another, but for every branch severed, Hanami would grow two more.

She noticed that Fu Hei had stood up, and she also noticed what he wanted to do.

"Hui! Don't you dare try to get yourself killed!"

Fu Hei didn't stop. He took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and squatted down slightly.

"Furube, Yura Yura..."

"Megumi, stop!" Maki stopped him. "Our work is finished, it's time for someone else to take over."

boom!

Yuji Itadori jumped down from a tree in the direction of the forest, his school uniform torn in several places by the branches, and he landed with a loud thud.

Higashido Aoi landed on the riverbank from the other side, her massive body leaving two deep craters in the gravel.

He glanced at Hua Yu, then shifted his gaze back to Hu Zhang, crossing his arms.

"Are you sure you can do it, bro?"

"Okay!" Itachi responded loudly.

"Stop! Itajō!" Fushiguro Megumi coughed twice. "That guy is beyond our capabilities..."

"Panda, take these two people outside," Toudou said to Panda, who had appeared behind Fushiguro Megumi at some point.

"Okay."

"Wait a minute, even if it's you..." Fushiguro Megumi said, looking at Itadori.

"Fukuguro." Itajimaru turned around, a confident smile on his face. "No problem."

"Tsk." Fukuro understood; he couldn't stop Itajitsugi now. "If you die again, I'll kill you!"

"Oh, then I can't die again!" Itajō stretched his shoulders and stepped forward.

------------

Fushiguro Megumi is really too overpowered. I'll refer to the buff suggestions from the forum users and increase his strength.

Tomorrow is the main event: Hu Zi and Dong Tang will fight Hua Yu.
