Heaven has bound me to weakness? I angrily unleash the Eight Gates!

Zen-in-shiki frowned slightly, his body being shaken back several meters.

Looking at the broken piece of the Youyun, Zen-in Shinsuke felt a pang of heartache; this was a magical artifact worth 500 million.

"Hahahaha! This power! It's amazing!"

Seeing that he had finally driven his opponent back, the cursed spirit revealed a maniacal smile.

It thought that humans couldn't help it become stronger, but it seems it was wrong. Anything that can make it feel pressure can make it stronger!

"How can it be!?"

Kusakabe, who had already run back to the songstress and the others, was filled with shock. "How could a cursed spirit possibly unleash a black flash?!"

This is way too insane!

"What should we do now? Why hasn't Gojo arrived yet?!"

The songstress immediately tensed up again.

"Looks like I came just in time."

Xia Youjie appeared on the other side, and seeing the current form of the cursed spirit, he was overjoyed, "You've become stronger again! I knew I wasn't wrong about you, my grand plan depends on you!"

Xia Youjie had a feeling that as long as he could absorb this cursed spirit, his plan would be more than half successful.

Chapter 29: Five Gates Opened in Succession! Brutal!

"This time, I won't let you get away again."

Xia Youjie used his spell spirit manipulation technique to release dozens of powerful spell spirits, including one of the top-tier ones.

"So it was you! I'm not going to lose now!"

The cursed spirit turned to look at Xia Youjie and said confidently.

It now feels incredibly powerful.

"Really?" Xia Youjie said with a smile.

The stronger the opponent, the more excited he became; it was worth bringing the Xia You Gang members along this time.

"Hey, Xia You, this guy is my prey. Don't you dare try to take it, or I'll have to use your cursed spirit to make up for it."

Zen-in-shiki picked up a piece of drifting cloud from the ground and warned Xia Youjie.

"Hmm? It's you again. You stole our prey last time, are you trying to steal it again this time?"

Upon seeing Zen-in-Sei, Xia Youjie's expression turned sour, and he immediately recalled the incident of the Mountain Demon King being robbed years ago.

"This time, you won't take it from me again."

Ignoring Zen-in-Sei's warning, Xia Youjie waved his hand, ordering dozens of cursed spirits to attack the special-grade one.

"Come on, come on! Make me stronger!"

The top-tier cursed spirit lunged forward, swinging its fists to engage in a fierce battle with the other cursed spirits, attempting to unleash the same attacks as before.

"Tsk, you're the one who stole my prey, okay?"

Zen-in Jinsuke looked at the Wandering Cloud in his hand, wondering if he should do what Jin'er did and sharpen it a bit.

But in that case, wouldn't this cursed artifact worth 500 million be rendered useless?

If we take it back like this, at least we can fix it.

"Never mind, it can still be used after some repairs, and we can give it to Maki later."

Thinking this, Zenji Jinsuke flashed to the side of Kusakabe and his group, and handed over the severed Yuuki for safekeeping.

"Kusakabe-sensei, please keep my weapon safe for me."

I'm still not quite sure how to use Shen'er in a one-time manner.

"Oh, okay!"

Kusakabe took Yuuki, who was covered in blood, and asked somewhat blankly, "Um, what do we do now?"

"Should we retreat first, or wait for Gojo to realize what's going on?"

This cursed spirit probably can't be dealt with in a short time. It even summoned Black Flash. After the spell melts away and the opponent recovers its spell, its strength will probably be even more terrifying.

Kusakabe figured that since Xia Youjie was there anyway, as long as they didn't fight outside the tent, he could just give the cursed spirit to Xia Youjie; at least it wouldn't cause any personnel losses.

Alternatively, we can wait for Wutiao to come to his senses and exorcise this cursed spirit.

Upon hearing this, Zenji Jinsuke glanced at Kusakabe, then at the geisha and Mingming.

"That's true, there are still wounded people here, we need to get back quickly."

Zenji Jinsuke walked towards Mingming, stared at the large axe beside her, and asked, "Is this axe also a spell tool? Can I borrow it for a while?"

Although the cloud-borne weapon is powerful, it is ultimately a blunt weapon, and one still needs to use a sharp weapon to save effort.

"Use it freely, you don't need to pay for it if you break it."

Mingming generously handed him the axe.

It's just an axe; it's nothing compared to the life-saving grace the other party received.

Taking the axe, Zenji Jinsuke stretched his body slightly, looking at the dozens of cursed spirits fighting in the distance with some excitement, "Xia You kid, I gave you a chance."

Since he doesn't cherish it, he doesn't need to be polite.

"Let's fight quickly."

His body trembled, and a powerful, scorching current of air erupted from the center of Zenji Jinsuke.

The door is closed—open!

He instantly opened five gates, and terrifying blood and qi power instantly filled his entire body. His muscles bulged, his skin turned crimson, and veins appeared on his body, making him extremely frightening.

The overwhelming aura forced the group of people under the sun back several meters.

"boom--!"

With a light touch of the toes, the ground within a radius of several meters instantly caved in, cracking open like a spider web.

The next instant, Zenji Jinsuke's figure appeared at the center of the cursed spirits.

He swung his axe, his figure blurring as he weaved through the spirits.

"Bang bang bang bang-!!!"

In an instant, all the cursed spirits, including the top-tier ones, exploded.

"How can it be?!"

Before anyone could react to what had happened, the cursed spirit had already turned into a bloody mist.

"what happened!"

Xia Youjie's expression changed instantly, and he hurriedly summoned back his special-grade curse spirit.

Fortunately, the top-tier cursed spirit was strong enough that even though half of its body had exploded, it could still be salvaged. However, the other dozens of cursed spirits were completely finished.

"Damn it!! Human! You didn't use your full strength just now!!"

Only one cursed spirit remained, roaring across the entire arena.

It barely escaped the enemy's slaughter thanks to its newly restored spells.

He quickly restored his severed arm and simultaneously used a spell to construct two lightning swords.

"I cannot lose!!"

Enveloped in lightning, this cursed spirit sought to evolve once more.

The next second, Zenji Jinsuke, radiating the power of blood and qi, flashed past it in a blur, his giant axe tearing through the air, leaving a line of blood on its body.

"impossible!!"

The cursed spirit, whose body was about to split in two, unleashed a powerful curse, pulling the two halves of its body back together.

If treated promptly, it still has a chance!

It can become even stronger!

"Swish swish swish swish...!"

However, the Zen monastery gave it no chance.

Amazing recovery ability, huh?

Let's see if you recover faster or I can cut faster.

All the people saw was a shadow constantly crashing into the cursed spirit, its arms, limbs, and body spraying blood everywhere, a truly gruesome scene of flying flesh and blood.

Some people even can't tell who the bad guy is.

Finally, the cursed spirit could no longer recover, because its body was gone, or rather, it had turned into a pile of minced meat.

In the last second before its consciousness faded, it sank into the depths and saw Zenji Jinsuke.

"You're very strong, but unfortunately you've run into me."

This is a cursed spirit with great potential, but unfortunately it was discovered before it reached its peak strength, otherwise it might have been a bit troublesome.

"..."

After reviewing his life, the cursed spirit lost his last vestiges of consciousness.

Such a cursed spirit cannot be completely killed; as long as humanity retains a primal fear of natural disasters, it can be reborn.

It will appear again, but will it still be the same the next time it appears?

Will they pursue even greater power?

"You bastard, I'll make sure you don't get away with it next time!"

Xia Youjie looked at the tragically dead Special Grade Cursed Spirit with a somewhat solemn expression. What exactly was the situation with this guy? Why was his plan always thwarted by him?

With no other option, Xia Youjie had to retreat and postpone the original plan after the plan failed once again.

I thought I could gain a powerful special-grade cursed spirit, but I ended up losing dozens more.

On the other hand, Zen-in Shinsuke didn't care what Xia Youjie thought.

A powerful surge of heat flowed from the scriptures into my limbs and bones, eventually flowing into the acupoint of the Jingmen point.

[Jingmen 3% - 15%]

This directly increased the unlock rate of the View Gate from 3% to 15%, the fastest progress increase ever.

It took a powerful top-tier cursed spirit, plus several first-tier cursed spirits among Xia Youjie's dozens of cursed spirits, to give him such a dramatic boost in an instant.

"call......"

Exhaling a breath of stale air, Zenji Jinsuke returned to normal, somewhat sighing.

"The cursed spirit is a good thing, we have to kill it..."

Chapter 30 Gojo Satoru, whom no one cares about

"The axe is nice, but it seems I've dulled it. I'll return it to you next time."

Zenji returned to Mingming and the others, and put the dulled axe back.

The group was stunned for a moment, then Mingming reacted and waved his hand dismissively, "No need, it's just an axe."

Although she likes money, not everything can be measured in money.

"Thank you very much."

Zen monk Jinjie didn't stand on ceremony; in fact, he didn't have the money to buy a new set of ritual implements to return to the other party.

"Gurgle... Can we go back now?" Angehime asked cautiously.

To be honest, she's a little scared of Zenji Jinsuke, but more than that, she's shocked.

Although the methods used to exorcise cursed spirits were somewhat brutal, the fact that they were able to eliminate so many cursed spirits so easily was enough to prove that their opponents were not on the same level.

"It should be fine, right? After all, the mission is over. Of course, I wouldn't mind if we continued to play for a few more days on company funds."

Zenji Shinsuke is in a good mood and, unusually, he's cracking a joke.
