Chapter 343: Speedy Demon Human

“You wouldn’t have come back just to bully Yuu and the others, would you? You could’ve crushed them completely five years ago already...”

Zangma murmured skeptically, though despite having had little contact with Jaki, based on his understanding of him, this man was indeed capable of doing something so pointless.

On the other hand, because Nan'no Shuichi discovered his mother's illness early and received timely treatment, he never had to resort to stealing the three great secrets of the Spirit World to fulfill a wish, and thus had no reason to get involved in Yuko's Spirit Detective team anymore...

But then again, cause and effect, fate—they are truly strange things.

As for why he came to enter the Dark Tournament, it was purely for Feiying—to use the wish granted by winning the championship to find his sister.

He could have simply told Genkai or Mumei and easily found his sister, but Feiying’s stubborn pride made him refuse to admit his true purpose for coming to the human world…

After all, Feiying was abandoned by the Ice Woman clan immediately after birth, starting life in the gutter, never having even met Xuecai; furthermore, Feiying had paid part of his life—"not being able to recognize his sister even if they met face to face"—as payment to the demon world plastic surgeon Shigeki for the transplant of the Evil Eye, making it unlikely they could recognize each other even if they stood face to face.

“Enough, enough—if you keep going, Feiying will wake up and kill himself.” Jaki paused, then let out a strange sigh: “What a roundabout path…”

If Xuecai hadn’t been too shy to approach him directly and instead dragged him over for advice, Feiying might never have recognized her.

“Brother…”

Xuecai pulled out her ancestral Ice Tear Stone to prove her identity, her eyes brimming with tears, her pitiful expression making it impossible for anyone to refuse her.

“You’ve mistaken me—I’m not…”

Feiying’s already frozen expression grew even stiffer, but bound by his agreement with Shigure, he had no choice but to harshly deny it.

“Boom!”

Kuwabara’s fist struck Feiying’s head without mercy as he roared, “No matter the reason, making a cute girl cry is the worst thing you can do!”

By the way, Kuwabara Kazuma’s nickname is “Warrior of Love.”

“What did you say, red-head?”

Feiying, furious at this delinquent who clearly knew nothing yet acted like he understood everything, clenched his fists until veins bulged, gritted his teeth, then finally slumped his head in defeat:

“Must… pay the fee.”

This was the price he paid—no matter what, he could never break it. This was Feiying, a stubborn demon.

“Damn it, take my Yūsuke Iron Fist!”

Though his head still spun, that didn’t stop Yūsuke from preparing to give Feiying a brutal beating for his nonsense.

The three of them tumbled into a chaotic mess, tangled together, neither able to pull apart nor willing to stop the emotional outburst.

……

“What a sappy reunion—thankfully I didn’t…”

“Hmm… true enough.” As Zangma was about to agree with the scene turning into a chaotic Shonen Jump brawl, he suddenly realized: “You still haven’t said what your real goal is!”

“The reason I came here last time is the same reason I’m here now…”

A faint, eager smile appeared on Jaki’s face as pure blue aura surged around him; countless stars hanging in the sky began to glow, and an indescribably terrifying presence radiated from him.

Whether it was Yūsuke, Feiying, Kuwabara, Genkai, Kidō, or Mumei, all stared at Jaki in utter horror—he now seemed as vast and boundless as the entire heavens, radiating an overwhelming, inexpressible pressure.

Cike ， Mingweipufanyouzhudeshaoniancaizhenzhengzhidao ， Jiajizaiyutajuedoudeshihouyuanyuanmeiyounachuzhenzhengdeshili 。

Far more.

His words triggered Zangma’s sharp mind to recall: last time, Jaki had challenged Hiei’s older brother, the then-revered strongest demon of the human world, seeking a breakthrough.

This time, for the same reason—but Hiei’s older brother still hadn’t escaped the Netherworld, and no one else in the human world could possibly be his opponent… then…

“The Demon World?”

Zangma whispered, his eyes flickering with deep dread and unease.

As a demon who had fled from the Demon World, he knew better than anyone how terrifying it was—any single demon escaping from there could destroy the fragile human world; even the combined might of all nations would be effortlessly crushed, and even the entire Spirit World might not defeat even one powerful demon lord.

“Raizen.”

Jaki repeated it calmly, as if fearing Zangma hadn’t heard clearly.

“My target this time is—the ‘Fighting God’ Raizen.”

Simply uttering that name made Zangma’s entire body tremble uncontrollably.

It wasn’t from excitement or anger—it was pure, profound fear; his expression grew graver than ever, and his heart shuddered.

“Are you sure?”

Only after asking did Zangma realize in shock that Jaki’s aura now enveloped the entire Death Tournament Island, his residual power disrupting magnetic fields, radio waves, gravity, and other invisible natural laws.

The most obvious manifestation? Everyone around him began experiencing “weightlessness”—their feet lifted off the ground, overwhelmed by a suffocating aura of battle spirit.

“Who is Raizen?”

Esdeath frowned slightly and asked.

She had assumed demons in this world were nothing special, but now it seemed there were far more intriguing depths beneath the surface.

Not only her—even among the locals, everyone except Zangma and Feiying wore confused expressions.

“He is… the highest mountain in the Demon World, the longest river, an insurmountable presence no one can bypass—the peerless strongest, the true ‘Fighting God’… If gods truly exist, only he possesses the right to challenge them!”

“The legendary Super Demon—Fighting God Raizen!”

Kenji, upon hearing the name, excitedly explained.

If she could witness Raizen fight, she’d gladly skip class just to be an audience.

Zangma glanced at Kenji in surprise—she knew more than he did—but now wasn’t the time to investigate that.

“You know there’s a barrier set up by the Spirit World between the human world and the Demon World, right? Any demon with a C-rank or higher cannot pass through.”

“I know—that’s why my championship wish is simple: open the gates of Hell.”

Jaki pointed at the young members of the Spirit Detective team.

“You’re the ones who’ll take down Senzui.”
