Chapter 133: Fierce Battle Against the Special-Rank Cursed Spirit Hua Yu!

Wu Jue and Xia Youjie met like old friends, immediately drawing their blades, while within the barrier, the battle between Shengzai and the others had also reached a fever pitch.

Hua Yu is a Special-Rank Cursed Spirit, and not just any Special-Rank Cursed Spirit—it was born from humanity’s fear of forests.

Simply put, Hua Yu is one of the Cursed Spirits born from humanity’s reverence for nature.

With this level of prestige, even among countless Cursed Spirits, it unquestionably belongs to the top tier.

According to Xia Youjie’s plan, in the absence of Yi Guo Youtai, neither of the two branch campuses of Jujutsu High should have had anyone capable of opposing Hua Yu.

Even though Dongtang Kui had previously eradicated a Special-Rank Cursed Spirit, Special-Rank Cursed Spirits themselves are ranked in tiers.

Those Special-Rank Cursed Spirits with fragile or nonexistent domains are nothing but trash before a top-tier Special-Rank Cursed Spirit like Hua Yu.

Sending Hua Yu to attack the students of both campuses, even if it couldn’t wipe them all out, would certainly cause casualties—and at that moment, the attention of Jujutsu High’s strongest would inevitably be drawn.

Their barrier had blocked Wu Jue; even if more Level-One Jujutsu Sorcerers arrived, if Hua Yu wished to flee, it still had the ability to escape unscathed.

But what Xia Youjie and the others never expected was that this year’s Tokyo Branch had welcomed an extraordinary new student.

Not only had the newcomer immediately spotted the flaw in their plan, but now he was holding his own against Hua Yu, a Special-Rank Cursed Spirit, all by himself!

While Shengzai was speaking with Wu Jue, Hua Yu had already clashed with the students from both campuses.

More precisely, it had clashed with the students from the Tokyo Branch.

As for the Kyoto Branch students, aside from Dongtang Kui, who still retained considerable combat capability, the others had all sustained varying degrees of injury from their earlier battles with Shengzai.

Facing Hua Yu, a top-tier Special-Rank Cursed Spirit, with the surrounding forest as its domain, even though they were outnumbered, Zhenxi and Panda eventually fell one after another.

Now, the only two still fighting Hua Yu were Huzhang and Dongtang Kui.

Tiger Stick relied on his protagonist-level indestructible resilience, while Dongtang Kui relied on genuine strength.

Previously, Dongtang Kui had been indifferent toward Tiger Stick due to Shengzai, but now, seeing Tiger Stick repeatedly knocked down yet rise again like a true man, his opinion of him improved drastically.

After asking and learning that Tiger Stick’s ideal woman was also tall, Dongtang Kui instantly regarded him as a kindred soul.

Not only did he repeatedly guide Tiger Stick’s shortcomings in battle, but he also began coordinating seamlessly with him using his technique, “Unjust Game,” and within a short time, they matched Hua Yu blow for blow.

However, this situation did not last long, because Hua Yu soon received word from its ally, Louhu.

Their original plan had been exposed; now, it and Xia Youjie were facing the most troublesome opponent—Wu Jue.

If Xia Youjie hadn’t understood Wu Jue’s technique and abilities so thoroughly, and if Wu Jue hadn’t been hesitating to strike decisively while trying to probe the identity and intent of the fake Xia Youjie, they would have been dead already.

But this kind of prolonged stalemate clearly couldn’t last, so Louhu had sought to contact Hua Yu—if Hua Yu could pressure Jujutsu High’s students, Wu Jue, sensing the students’ danger, would inevitably be distracted.

That was why Hua Yu, originally only meant to lure the enemy, now unleashed its full power.

Vast stretches of flowers, grass, and trees erupted from beneath the students’ feet, and Hua Yu, standing amidst the blooming field, clasped its hands in seals and unleashed its Cursed Energy: “Domain Expansion: Floral Feast!”

As Hua Yu’s Domain expanded, everyone present was pulled into a dense forest, where every sight was filled with an overwhelming variety of plants.

Towering trees reaching the clouds, flowers blooming everywhere—if not for the fact this was the enemy’s Domain, this breathtaking natural scenery would rank among the rarest wonders of the world.

“Earth-Eating Flower: Cursed Seed!”

As Hua Yu formed its seals, a massive carnivorous flower with roots burst from the ground and opened a tooth-filled maw above them.

The next instant, countless red, grape-sized spheres shot out from the flower’s mouth toward the crowd.

Due to the sheer number of red spheres and the “Absolute Hit” effect of Hua Yu’s Domain-boosted technique, nearly all Jujutsu High students were struck.

Yet surprisingly, though the red spheres bore mouths and looked revolting, those hit felt no obvious damage.

It wasn’t until Jia Mao Xianji raised his bow to use “Crimson Blood Manipulation” that everyone realized something was wrong—his extracted Cursed Energy was instantly absorbed by the red spheres clinging to his body.

The moment Jia Mao Xianji unleashed his Cursed Energy, the red plants with toothy mouths devoured it.

Hua Yu then spoke plainly: “My Cursed Seeds can consume your Cursed Energy. Since you’re still useful, I have no intention of killing you…”

But before it could finish speaking, several figures simultaneously attacked from behind.

These attackers were none other than Shengzai, Tiger Stick, Dongtang Kui, and Zhenxi.

When Hua Yu’s Cursed Seeds rained down, not everyone was hit.

Shengzai had sliced every single one in half with his long blade; Dongtang Kui had evaded them using “Unjust Game.”

As for Tiger Stick, due to the presence of Ryozen, Hua Yu’s Cursed Seeds dared not consume his Cursed Energy.

As for Zen’in Zhenxi… she possessed no Cursed Energy at all, so these Cursed Seeds were no different to her than ordinary seeds.

Facing the multiple attackers approaching from different directions, Hua Yu pressed its arm to the ground, and instantly, two colossal roots like subterranean dragons erupted upward, shooting toward Shengzai and the others in a crisscross pattern.

Because all techniques within Hua Yu’s Domain were imbued with “Absolute Hit,” Tiger Stick and Zhenxi, despite their agile leaps, were both struck and pinned to the ground.

As for Shengzai and Dongtang Kui, one continuously shifted position using his technique, while the other, watching the roots surge like serpents, cleaved them all apart with dazzling swordplay.

Yet no matter how many roots Shengzai severed or how many times Dongtang Kui relocated, more roots grew in the surrounding area.
