Chapter 83 Elegance Never Goes Out of Style
The day after Gojo Satoru went on his business trip, Li Muyang and his group were dispatched to carry out a mission: a special-grade cursed fetus was detected in a school, and once it completely changed, it was predicted to become a special-grade cursed spirit!
As mentioned earlier, the higher-ups planned to use a coincidence to eliminate the anomaly, Huzhang. However, the team was always short-handed and often encountered difficult situations. In such an unexpected emergency, no one else could say anything.
Only Li Muyang knew about these things.
With the help of the assistant supervisor, Kiyotaka Ijichi, Li Muyang, Itadori, Nadeshiko, and Fushiguro Megumi gained a temporary understanding of the situation inside the school. They knew that the upcoming mission would be extremely difficult. Although it was nominally just to rescue people who might be trapped inside, the experienced Ijichi estimated that everyone inside was already dead.
Sending only four students to carry out this mission is like knowingly sending them to their deaths!
"Remember, your only task is to identify and rescue the survivors." Ijichi seemed expressionless, but he spoke very carefully, reminding the group to prioritize safety and not to have too much psychological burden.
The four of them earnestly expressed their understanding to this seemingly cold but kind-hearted uncle!
There were several people outside the isolation zone. The families of the people trapped inside came over. Ijiji said a few words to them, but the matter of the cursed spirit could not be told to ordinary people. When they learned that their family members were inside and their fate was unknown, the families of the people felt sad and desperate.
Itari was a kind-hearted man who couldn't bear to see others suffer, so his face darkened, and he clenched his fists, saying, "Let's go, Mu Yang, Fu Hei, Ding Qi, let's go rescue them!"
The four of them entered the school building in silence, their expressions serious.
Upon entering the teaching building, the environment had drastically changed! It was completely different from the information in the materials; the once-proud teaching building had turned into a complex maze! Sister Ding had initially thought it was a multi-purpose building.
The domain created by the power of the incantation—when I turned around, the door I had entered through was gone!
Fortunately, before Fushiguro Megumi came in, she released her shikigami, a white jade dog. By smelling the scent, the dog could lead the group out and also serve as a guard.
Tiger and Nail stroked the dog with satisfied expressions. The big white dog, panting, seemed quite happy, which made Old Hui feel exhausted! The situation is serious! You guys need to be on high alert!
"Don't worry, I've cultivated the Buddhist Heavenly Eye, so I can see through these illusions." Li Muyang explained leisurely, completely unperturbed, and led the way.
The three people and the dog had no choice but to chase after them.
Li Muyang was definitely not bragging. He overdid it last time, so this time he wasn't going to hold back and was determined to carry the team the whole way!
Before long, he led the group to the rooftop.
"You really have a knack for seeing through things!" Sister Ding exclaimed in surprise, because there were many seemingly impassable paths that Li Muyang had managed to lead them through.
Li Muyang smiled calmly. What's the big deal?
Meanwhile, on Tiantai Mountain, one of the trapped individuals had completed his task, received his lunch, and collapsed.
Upon seeing this, Itadori was filled with grief and indignation and wanted to take the body out, but Fushiguro Megumi disagreed. It turned out that the people who were trapped were actually prisoners, each one more despicable than the last! They were just sent in for testing, and their deaths were not a pity.
The two immediately started arguing about whether or not to bring it.
Ding Jie was exhausted. Couldn't her two teammates check what was going on?
Li Muyang didn't care. It's normal to have arguments. The two of them still have different views. Fu Heihui is already used to sacrifice. He only saves people who are worth saving and who can still be saved. He doesn't want to care about anything else. On the other hand, Huzhang hasn't experienced a beating yet and is a bit naive.
However, none of this affected Li Muyang's operation.
Silently, a sword blocked the cursed spirit that wanted to ambush Bai Yu Gouzi.
Li Muyang's sudden action naturally drew the attention of the two arguing individuals, and Ding Jie also looked over.
"Hmm, quite unique, it looks pretty good!" Li Muyang observed the cursed spirit in front of him with great interest. Any one of the cursed spirits formed from Su Nuo's fingers was a top-grade one!
Let's call it the Finger Curse Spirit. This little thing is still half-in the cursed womb, with only its upper body outside, basically in human form. Even so, its movements are still silent and incredibly swift. Just now, only Li Muyang noticed its movements; the white dog didn't even react! It was almost instantly killed!
There wasn't even a chance to be alerted!
Glancing at the three people who were completely restrained and had difficulty even moving, Li Muyang calmly said, "The three of you! Do you understand the difference between a Special Grade and those below it? Let me teach you a lesson: never underestimate the strength of your enemy! In the situation just now, facing a Special Grade cursed spirit, Lao Hui, your dog didn't even have a chance to sound an alarm!"
Tiger, Ding, and Lao Hui stared at the scene before them with expressions of utter disbelief. The three of them, who had been suppressed by the mere presence of his aura, were now kneeling before Li Muyang, who was wielding a sword with one hand, his hands clasped together as he caught the blade with his bare hands, completely motionless!
To be precise, it's wanting to move but being unable to!
The spirit of the finger curse could only feel that it was being suppressed by an invisible force and forced to kneel on one knee... The legs that were born were now like those of a sword, and even though it desperately tried to break free from this invisible restraint, it was still unable to do so!
Even the curse power within his body was forcibly suppressed!
This bizarre situation caused the finger-cursed spirit, sensing danger, to unleash its power recklessly in an attempt to break free from its predicament, but to no avail.
It wasn't until Li Muyang saw that the three of them were gradually getting used to the pressure that he kicked out, sending the finger curse spirit flying and crashing into the wall next to him.
He could still use other powers, but a one-hit kill wouldn't serve as a teaching tool! Li Muyang wasn't their babysitter; he would handle the problems that needed to be dealt with, but they also needed to face their own problems! They couldn't remain stagnant forever!
"You can move now?" Li Muyang squinted, turned to face the finger spirit, and said to the three of them, "In that case, go and stay to the side. This is no longer a problem that you can solve. Go and observe and learn from it!"
"Don't underestimate yourselves. These are not enemies that students should be dealing with right now. Humph! Just as the teacher said, they are those cowardly old fools who are afraid of death!"
After saying that, Li Muyang ignored the three of them and unleashed a white sword aura that struck the flying finger spirit.
Tiger Rod and the other two dared not stay there any longer and get in the way, so they quickly moved aside. After this lesson, Fukuro Megumi immediately summoned another black jade dog to guard against the white jade dog, fearing that another cursed spirit might suddenly appear to attack.
"...This kid is so strong!" Sister Ding looked at Li Muyang beating up the Finger Curse Spirit in shock. Li Muyang didn't even use any stronger abilities, he just used his swordsmanship to cut the Finger Curse Spirit's body in half several times!
If it weren't for the fact that the Finger Curse Spirit could heal itself through reversing spells, it would probably have been dealt with already!
This isn't Li Muyang holding back; he's showing his three teammates his top-tier abilities! He'll be beating them up while simultaneously giving them a lesson!
A disheveled finger-shaped cursed spirit, and Li Muyang, whose movements were graceful and whose swords were aimed straight for vital points, even had time to explain the key points of this special-grade cursed spirit to the three of them.
Tiger and Nail stared blankly at Fu Hei Hui. "Old Hui, do you know how strong Old Li is?"
Old Hui scratched his head bitterly: "Don't ask me. I haven't known Li Muyang for much longer than you have, only a day. I only know that he is an international student from China."
"But didn't Mu Yang say he's a medical student?" Tiger Brother asked, bewildered. "What kind of medical student is he?"
Ding Jie chimed in, "I thought he was a support staff member! Sorry for being so presumptuous! Turns out he's the ace! And we're the jokers!"
“A veterinarian!” Fushiguro Megumi said leisurely.
"Watch carefully! Study hard! Are you listening?" Seeing the three of them whispering, Li Muyang shouted again, "Stop talking to yourselves! I'm not your babysitter! Sooner or later you'll have to face the Special Grade yourself!"
"Oh!" x3
Observing Li Muyang's elegant movements carefully, Tiger suddenly realized something: "Holy crap! I get it! Muyang, could this be the legendary Chinese Kungfu!"
"Nonsense!" x2
Lao Hui and Ding Jie complained speechlessly.
However, the teaching session didn't last long, because soon after, another level-one cursed spirit emerged.
This level of cursed spirit is no ordinary creature; it's a whole group of them!
Seeing this, Li Muyang said, "Alright, that's enough for now! You three are in charge of those guys! This top-tier class is mine!"
Without Li Muyang saying anything more, the three of them had already engaged the level one curse spirit together. With their combat strength, dealing with a level one was still a bit of a struggle, but it was also a rare opportunity for training.
Anyway, with Li Muyang keeping an eye on things, there's no risk.
Of course, the three of them didn't think that way. They all believed that Li Muyang was already struggling to deal with a Special Grade fighter, and they couldn't let this Grade 1 fighter interfere with him! As teammates, they couldn't just play dead!
Upon refusing to teach the three, Li Muyang's expression changed immediately. Since that was the case, he decided to finish the matter quickly.
The finger spirit also sensed that Li Muyang's aura had changed. Although it was strange just now, it had been slow and deliberate, without much fighting spirit. But now... it sensed that his life was in danger!
Instinct told it to run away, but its bestial madness wouldn't allow it to retreat without a fight. So, it didn't even have a chance to regret it.
I've long wanted to try incorporating the power of the Shennong Beast into my sword techniques!
The ability to catch a blade barehanded has a hidden effect: if the locked-on opponent cannot even put their hands together in prayer position, or if the opponent is completely unable to catch a blade barehanded, then this effect will be triggered.
One sword strike and it'll break!
That was correct in principle, but Li Muyang discovered a bug: once he mastered this sword technique, he could choose the target autonomously using his divine sense! Therefore, Li Muyang could select a specific body part!
For example, you can lock onto the enemy's body only!
How can you catch a blade bare-handed if you only lock onto the body?
