Chapter 354

"Boom!"

The thunder coming from the northern horizon was deafening.

But the yokai of this country were long used to it; they knew it was the sound made by their king, Raizen, when he was hungry.

The never-ending hunger tormented him, but seven hundred years had not killed this man-eating demon. He was like an immortal monster, acting as the final boss in the deepest part of the Demon King's castle.

The once fierce and tyrannical aura gradually faded away with the torment of pain, and that incomparably powerful strength seemed to be weakening continuously. The invincible existence known as the "Fighting God" became incomparably weak in a cold, gray tower. But as long as he didn't die for a day, no one dared to make a move.

Days seemed to pass endlessly in the torment and struggle of Raizen fighting against his own instincts.

Until today...

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Continuous thunder also came from the southern land, and it was getting closer and more terrifying. Two slightly different sounds of thunder intertwined, as if they were clashing.

A strong pressure, carrying rumbling thunder, flew toward them from the front.

Why is Raizen weak?

Because he stopped eating humans and is continuously weakening.

Why is Raizen strong?

Because he stopped eating humans, can even resist his own racial instincts, and can even face death calmly.

The yokai of Raizen's country showed surprised expressions. They might not dislike eating humans, but because they respected Raizen's philosophy and loyalty, they were willing to live and die with him, gathering under his command to fight against the other two countries.

They were truly loyal to Raizen, not submissive to his might.

Now, facing these aggressive invaders, they would not retreat. Various demonic auras erupted violently, and dozens of figures appeared directly in front of the border line first.

"Let them come."

Raizen's voice echoed throughout the country.

The overlord who ruled the north of the Demon Realm in front of them was only 190cm tall. Compared to the residents of the Demon Realm, this physique was not very tall, and he was gaunt, with an unusually haggard appearance like a handsome young man. The black markings on the left side of his cheeks added a sense of gloom and decay, making him look even frailer.

It looked like he was indeed going to die.

The human and the demon stared at each other, neither speaking first.

Raizen suppressed the entire Demon Realm alone, causing everyone to dare not act rashly. His actions to invade the Human Realm were simply a culmination, an interdimensional, a toilet-flushing-under-Yomi's-ass kind of feat. The demons might not like it, but they had to give him a thumbs up.

And as the three people from the human standpoint, they should be even more respectful.

It's just that for Jia Ji, "Even if it's Raizen, he finishes his act and runs? Can I tolerate this?"

Jia Ji estimated that his battle Qi converted into demonic power was about 200,000 to 300,000, which was already hard to find an opponent for in the "Frenzy Low-Rank," reaching the limit of most powerhouses' lives.

As for those demons in the millions in the Demon Realm, they had definitely reached the "Frenzy Mid-Rank," and Jia Ji knew that there were only three people in the Demon Realm with over a million demonic power on the surface, but in fact, there were a lot more in secret, and even several with 1.6 or 1.7 million.

Just comparing normal combat power, he couldn't even be ranked, let alone challenge Raizen himself. However...

"According to the contract, seal released!"

In Raizen's astonished gaze, a ring-shaped shockwave spread in the air. The golden radiance appeared exceptionally bright in this gray world, piercing the sky.

The dark clouds that had condensed due to demonic energy for thousands of years were suddenly dispersed. The sky was cloudless for ten thousand miles, and the water-like brilliance illuminated the earth. Many yokai had never seen such a clear sky in their lives.

That was a powerful force capable of dueling any powerhouse.

—The challenger proved his qualifications.

Unfortunately...

"I don't have time..."

In the highest tower of the country, the starving man-eating demon slumped on the ground, showing a self-deprecating smile to the human in front of him, "Isn't it ridiculous?"

"The dignified Fighting God is actually going to die of hunger. This appearance is too ugly."

Precisely because he was a qualified powerhouse, Raizen could understand that his current state could no longer satisfy the opponent's fighting spirit; there was no such opportunity anymore.

"My full power can only be maintained for five seconds."

Raizen, who had fought against his own instincts for seven hundred years, met a human who took the initiative to challenge him at the end of his life... but his state could no longer satisfy the opponent.

Toguro once transformed from a human into a yokai because he was afraid of this kind of thing, but the strongest yokai in the world was actually facing this.

A man-eating demon who blindly pursued satisfaction, falling to this point of being almost unable to move, isn't it ridiculous?

This is undoubtedly a tragedy, a regrettable miss.

If Jia Ji made a move now, he could probably kill Raizen in less than five seconds.

"There are two good things I must tell you."

Jia Ji, standing in front of him, said in a calm tone without any negative emotions.

"First, my name is Jia Ji, and I am a fist artist."

"Second, I am here to help you!"

"..." Silence. The former "Fighting God" once had a morbid obsession with the title of the strongest and had an endless pursuit of battle. At this moment, all he could do was remain silent.

Didn't he want to?

Wasn't he willing?

Wine, meat, and battle were once everything that made him up, but his own body knew better than anyone else that what was here now was merely a corpse wearing the shell of "Raizen."

Recently, illusions appeared before his eyes from time to time, his head was often dizzy, his ears were disturbed by many noises, his body was weaker day by day, his blood flow was slower day by day, and his body temperature was constantly dropping.

Except for the crazy hunger that tormented him, all his functions were being lost, and his life was like a candle in the wind.

"Hey, what if I said I could let you unleash your full power? Truly, your power in your prime."

"Don't joke!"

Raizen was startled and looked up abruptly. Jia Ji's relaxed tone almost angered him! The only way to solve everything was that—to violate his principles of seven hundred years and eat humans.

What, does this human in front of him want to cut off two pieces of his own delicious meat and give them to him, Raizen?

He wanted to sneer.

A powerhouse of his level, especially at the end of his life, had reached the point of knowing destiny in some aspects, so he understood very well that there was no second way to 【save】 him in the world.

And the only way was exactly what he could never accept.

"If I'm not mistaken, you can hold on for another year..." Jia Ji laughed strangely and withdrew the blessing of the Holy Spirit power, "Just wait and see, don't get beaten too badly then."

He turned and waved to Esdeath.

"Let's go, Little Es! It's time to start training!"

Fighting God Raizen,

is the only rule-breaking powerhouse in the "YuYu Hakusho" world.

What Jia Ji wants to challenge is not the current pitiful 1.32 million demonic power, but Raizen at his strongest with 6 million demonic power!

Even with the Holy Spirit power, he is not enough to defeat or beat Raizen now! So for the next year, he will start training in this place with countless powerhouses in the Demon Realm, letting himself continue to become stronger in battle. As for other unfinished side quests...

【Da Mengshen: I'll leave it to you for now!】
