Chapter 36 - Chapter 36 Near Death

"Sister!!!"

Watching Chinatsu next to him get sharply pierced, Gojo Satoru's eyes trembled. As he cried out, he raised his hand and instantly unleashed a "Blue" at Fushiguro Toji, who was behind Chinatsu.

However, Fushiguro Toji's speed was incredibly fast. After pulling the Cursed Tool from Chinatsu's chest, he quickly leaped backward, repeatedly jumping in and out of the reliable Jujutsu High barrier.

Seeing this, Geto Suguru's face showed disbelief; the previously infallible barrier was now useless.

Gojo Satoru quickly walked to Chinatsu's side, anxiously asking about her condition. Although Chinatsu tried her best to act as if nothing was wrong, Fushiguro Toji's stab was too brutal.

The force made Chinatsu suspect it was several times stronger than the stab Toji used on Gojo Satoru in the original work. Do we have that much animosity?

Chinatsu covered her pierced wound with her hand, breathing slightly while blood trickled from the corner of her mouth. This sudden change in the original plot meant Chinatsu couldn't react optimally to Fushiguro Toji's sudden attack.

Ever since the Star Plasma Vessel arc began, Chinatsu had been focused on minimizing her presence, trying her best not to disrupt the relatively peaceful first half of this part of the story.

But Chinatsu still underestimated the impact her variable existence had on the original plot. The original plot, in the end, could only be considered a reference. If she wanted to save more people in the future, the reference value of the original plot would only become lower and lower.

Ultimately, she could only rely on herself.

Caution, she must be even more cautious.

"Geto, you guys go in first. Gojo and I will hold them off here," Chinatsu yelled to Geto Suguru and the others.

Geto Suguru paused slightly. He had originally wanted to stay and fight, but after seeing Chinatsu's incredibly serious face, he nodded in agreement.

"But be very careful!"

After Geto Suguru finished speaking, he took Amanai Riko and the maid Kuroi and ran towards the interior of Jujutsu High. Chinatsu, with her azure eyes, continued to gaze at Fushiguro Toji in the distance.

He was wrapped in a black Cursed Spirit resembling a large maggot. In one hand, he held the soul split katana, and in the other, he held the Inverted Spear of Heaven connected to the ten thousand mile chain.

The soul split katana didn't require too much concern. Although it could deliver slashes regardless of hardness, Limitless Defense was a rule-based Cursed Technique. The soul split katana would be slowed by Limitless Defense, preventing it from touching flesh.

The main concern was the Inverted Spear of Heaven. This Cursed Tool could forcibly nullify any active Cursed Technique. When its blade touched the rule-based barrier of Limitless Defense, Limitless Defense would automatically deactivate.

The ten thousand mile chain connected to the Inverted Spear of Heaven was also a powerful Cursed Tool. As long as one end of the ten thousand mile chain was not directly observed, it could extend indefinitely.

These three Cursed Tools, wielded by the heavenly restriction tyrant, who possessed the strongest human body, presented an extraordinary level of danger. A powerful sense of oppression continuously surged from him.

Gojo Satoru, standing beside Chinatsu, also looked at Fushiguro Toji with grave eyes. Unlike Chinatsu, he had only seen Fushiguro Toji once at a banquet when he was a child, because he had been sound asleep during the last Cursed Tool auction.

Sensing the abnormality of not a single trace of Cursed Energy emanating from Fushiguro Toji, Gojo Satoru quickly thought of "Heavenly Restriction."

"The physical talent brought by Heavenly Restriction... is it that one from the Zenin Family?" Gojo Satoru murmured softly, his face serious. Yet, even such a soft murmur was heard by Fushiguro Toji's keen ears.

He tilted his neck, stretched his limbs, and said with a faint smile, "Not Zen'in, it's Fushiguro. I married into the family."

"..."

"Who cares about that!"

Gojo Satoru locked onto his target. He raised both hands and activated "Blue" at Fushiguro Toji's location. Under the influence of this powerful attraction, stones and even trees were pulled up and rushed towards Fushiguro Toji.

Fushiguro Toji, holding the soul split katana, sharply delivered several slashes. All the objects flying towards him were cut into pieces.

A sharp whooshing sound echoed again. Fushiguro Toji, holding the Inverted Spear of Heaven, charged directly at Gojo Satoru.

Gojo Satoru would not back down from this head-on challenge. He clenched his palm, conjuring several "Blues" out of thin air, like hovering turrets attempting to disrupt Fushiguro Toji's approach.

However, these "Blues" were almost like air in front of the Inverted Spear of Heaven in Fushiguro Toji's hand. With just a slight poke of the Inverted Spear of Heaven, those "Blues" vanished without a trace.

"What?!"

Gojo Satoru's heart jolted. As he quickly prepared for close-quarters combat with Fushiguro Toji, Fushiguro Toji, who had already reached Gojo Satoru, suddenly stomped his foot and changed direction.

Is he going after Amanai Riko?

No, his target is!

"Sister!!!"

Gojo Satoru turned and cried out. Chinatsu, of course, also reacted to Fushiguro Toji's move.

However, while her mind reacted, her body didn't. With "Blue" rendered ineffective, Chinatsu could only clench her hand into a fist and forcefully swing it towards Fushiguro Toji's face.

The next moment, Chinatsu's fist landed squarely on Fushiguro Toji's face. Because of Fushiguro Toji's speed and the principle of action and reaction, Fushiguro Toji's face was somewhat distorted by Chinatsu's punch.

But at the same time, Fushiguro Toji's Inverted Spear of Heaven had once again pierced Chinatsu's skin. In this exchange of blows, Fushiguro Toji clearly had the advantage.

Fushiguro Toji forcefully flicked the Inverted Spear of Heaven, and streaks of bright red blood splattered from Chinatsu's body onto the ground.

The injuries Gojo Satoru sustained in the original work, or even worse, now appeared on Chinatsu's body. Chinatsu's pupils dilated, and an indescribable sensation overwhelmed her entire being.

Since awakening the Limitless Cursed Technique and mastering Limitless Defense in her childhood, she had experienced minor injuries, but never a major one.

the strongest... invincible... reversal... like a tidal wave, it surged and engulfed her. In reality, as Fushiguro Toji pulled out the Inverted Spear of Heaven from her hand, Chinatsu's body tilted and fell, lying on the ground.

Fushiguro Toji exhaled, a comfortable ease appearing on his face.

He turned and looked at the stunned Gojo Satoru, smiling as he once again assumed a fighting stance.

"One down. I need to be faster. If the Star Plasma Vessel and Tengen really assimilate, I won't get the bounty..."
