Domain Expansion

"Did you sense anything?"

The female reincarnator with long silver hair suddenly stopped and asked Bai Cangshu.

Bai Cangshu’s expression did not change in the slightest. He drew back half a step and asked in return,

"What did you sense?"

Silverlight looked at Mercenary Tao’s wariness toward her. Her expression shifted, but she said nothing.

Her spiritual sense was exceptionally sharp. That feeling just now could not have been wrong. Something bad seemed to have happened somewhere on this island, enough for her spiritual sense to send her a warning.

It was dangerous to remain on this island!

Yet Silverlight looked at Mercenary Tao, who still seemed unaware, and was somewhat unwilling to give up such a perfect opportunity.

News that Moon Demon had been hunting someone was not much of a secret among reincarnators of their level. Based on certain clues, she had concluded that Moon Demon’s target was most likely the newly risen Fierce Person: Mercenary Tao.

These reincarnators had appeared in the same mission world by such a coincidence, and Moon Demon had even happened to be severely injured. If she did not take this chance to use Mercenary Tao to kill Moon Demon once and for all, it would likely become far more difficult to kill him once he recovered.

Opportunities to hunt a reincarnator of Moon Demon’s caliber were few and far between.

In the end, Silverlight continued running forward.

"It’s nothing. Maybe I sensed it wrong."

Bai Cangshu followed behind her, the corners of his mouth curling up. This woman’s spiritual sense was sharp, yet despite clearly detecting that utterly abnormal aura, she still forcibly held herself back from reacting.

She really wanted to kill Moon Demon.

Bai Cangshu moved lightly behind Silverlight. He knew that the pyramid’s abnormal change had most likely been caused by those reincarnators and the two members of CP9.

Enel had been affected by Silverlight’s ability and could not return to the island for the time being. Whatever was inside that pyramid was likely about to break free.

There was the rapidly infectious Red-Eye Virus on this island, the cursed energy secretly released by this woman, and now, the being suspected to be God Hand or an Apostle was also about to be unsealed.

Things were getting more and more lively.

The two advanced at high speed, moving faster than any ordinary human could sprint a hundred meters. They quickly left the town behind, but precisely because of that, their movements became conspicuous.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out abruptly. Light flared from the talisman in front of Silverlight, but she still staggered from the impact, her forward momentum broken.

Instead of being alarmed, Silverlight was delighted.

"It’s Kyouya’s sniper rifle. Moon Demon really is in bad shape!"

She quickly tossed out several paper dolls. Upon landing, they swiftly expanded to roughly the size of normal humans, though their bodies remained as thin as sheets of paper.

As the wind blew, the paper dolls twisted and rapidly vanished into it.

Bang! Bang!

The sniper rifle fired repeatedly, but the shots all landed elsewhere. Bai Cangshu saw scraps from the shattered paper dolls flying through the air and guessed that this strange ability might be highly threatening. Kyouya had actually chosen to eliminate the paper dolls first.

Even Bai Cangshu could not identify the origins of Silverlight’s ability. He guessed it might have come from some obscure novel, or perhaps it was an ability she had created herself.

Bai Cangshu followed behind Silverlight and continued toward the reefs at the edge of Skuld Island. With his eyesight, he could already make out the black dot atop the reef, the sniper rifle constantly flashing with muzzle fire.

"Quick, Mercenary Tao, those two are over there!"

Silverlight seemed very excited. She kept scattering all kinds of paper dolls. The abilities this woman deliberately displayed in front of Bai Cangshu were all related to Onmyōdō. She was intentionally portraying herself as a support-type reincarnator skilled in summoning and gathering information.

That also fit with her initiative in approaching Bai Cangshu.

But Bai Cangshu was extraordinarily sensitive to negative energy, especially cursed energy, which he had once wielded himself. As everyone knew, in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, the ultimate destination of all Jujutsu Sorcerers’ various abilities was a return to the primitive art of "throwing punches."

This woman was definitely not as simple as she appeared.

Bai Cangshu pretended not to know and cooperated with the woman’s shout, immediately stepping forward.

Thud! Thud!

He stepped on empty air and instantly flew upward. That killing intent immediately locked onto his body. As Bai Cangshu’s body fell freely, he suddenly stepped sideways again.

Moonwalk!

Bang!

Bai Cangshu changed direction once more. It looked incredibly dangerous, but there had never truly been any risk. At this distance, a sniper unable to conceal their killing intent was completely transparent in Bai Cangshu’s eyes.

Whether it was the moment she developed the intent to kill or the moment she pulled the trigger.

Kyouya had clearly noticed this as well. The firing interval of her sniper rifle was roughly 0.8 seconds, but after firing three consecutive shots that Mercenary Tao had all dodged, she realized he could evade based on her movements.

The corners of her mouth rose. She aimed at Bai Cangshu again, then fired three shots in quick succession.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bai Cangshu repeatedly used Moonwalk in midair. The final bullet grazed past the air beside him.

Bai Cangshu looked at Kyouya, whose features he could now see clearly, and felt delighted. After figuring out how he evaded the sniper shots, this woman had actually chosen to fire at the directions he might dodge toward.

"Not a bad idea. Unfortunately, my luck is very strong now."

Hummm~

Golden ki gathered in Bai Cangshu’s hand. Kyouya’s heart lurched, and she swiftly put away her sniper rifle before rolling backward.

Boom!

The golden Ki Blast shot out like a laser, striking the black reef dozens of meters wide in an instant before exploding violently. Chunks of reef scattered in every direction.

Silverlight landed behind Bai Cangshu and raised her brows at the sight.

This Mercenary Tao had indeed exceeded her expectations. She had thought he was merely a martial artist skilled in close combat, but he also possessed a long-range energy attack of this power.

It was perfectly reasonable for Hades to have died at the hands of someone like this.

After the reef exploded, Silverlight indeed saw an emerald-green barrier appear. Moon Demon sat within it as a great amount of life essence circulated through the barrier, repairing his injuries.

At that moment, Silverlight’s heart stirred. A bow appeared in her hand. Between the fingers of her left hand, she held that precious talisman which was still burning, while her right hand drew the bow and nocked an arrow.

Bai Cangshu spread his arms in midair and swooped downward like an eagle. He could clearly see Kyouya’s evasive movements and Moon Demon seated within that green barrier.

Bai Cangshu raised his index finger like a gun, and golden ki gathered once more.

Hummm~

As Bai Cangshu condensed the Dodon Ray, his aura was exceptionally steady. He even had enough attention to spare to clearly see Kyouya’s expression.

Boom!

The Dodon Ray howled forth. Silverlight drew her bow to its full extent as powerful spiritual energy gathered on the arrow.

Whether Moon Demon was deliberately baiting them into attacking or not, she had decided to fire this arrow after Mercenary Tao’s attack. Even if Moon Demon was truly killed by Mercenary Tao, she would only lose some loot.

Bang!

Under Silverlight’s somewhat startled gaze, the Dodon Ray precisely struck the green barrier and instantly pierced through it, punching through Moon Demon’s body as a massive explosion erupted.

Whoosh!

She instinctively released the arrow. A streak of white light instantly vanished into the smoke and dust, following the trajectory carved by the Dodon Ray and striking Moon Demon again.

It worked?!

Moon Demon really had no ability to resist?

"Damn it!"

Kyouya roared as if she had lost control. Claws burst through the skin of both her hands, and she charged across the ground in an instant, pouncing on Mercenary Tao as he glided through the air and knocking him down.

Her hands danced like phantoms, and in an instant, Mercenary Tao’s blood sprayed everywhere.

Silverlight moved quickly. She kept throwing out paper dolls while rapidly approaching Moon Demon’s location.

As the smoke dispersed, Moon Demon’s corpse appeared on the ground. A hole had been blasted through his chest, and an incredulous expression still remained on his face.

Moon Demon was dead?

Had Mercenary Tao killed him, which was why she had received no notification?

That thought flashed through Silverlight’s mind. Her heart relaxed for an instant, but in the next moment, she realized that if Mercenary Tao had truly killed Moon Demon, he should not be silently fighting Kyouya right now.

Mercenary Tao should have chosen to flee.

As thoughts flashed through her mind, she had already drawn her bow again, but a streak of emerald-green sword light rose behind her.

Slash!

Her shoulder, along with the wooden spiritual bow, was torn apart. Her talisman shattered as well.

Moon Demon’s pale face appeared behind Silverlight. Large patches of his green robe were scorched black, and his left shoulder had been blown apart. He was clearly in poor condition.

When Silverlight saw Moon Demon approach, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she actually smiled.

Though she had made a mistake, Moon Demon was indeed in bad shape. More importantly, he should not have rashly approached her.

Silverlight formed hand seals with both hands, her clear voice instantly reaching Moon Demon, Bai Cangshu, and Kyouya’s ears.
