Chapter 72 - Chapter 72: Surprise or No Surprise?

Seeing that his strike missed, Toji Fushiguro used the rebound force from his slash to disappear once more into the depths of the dense forest.

He was like an experienced, top-tier predator, a top-tier assassin.

One strike missed, retreat immediately. Never give the opponent a sliver of time to counterattack or observe.

The battle continued, and Toji Fushiguro kept attacking Alex Moyan as before.

Although the attack was seen through and blocked by the opponent's Cursed Technique, this was exactly what Toji Fushiguro wanted.

What he wanted was for the opponent's thinking to become rigid. Next time he attacked, the opponent would subconsciously use a Cursed Technique to defend.

At that time, he could break through the opponent's Cursed Technique and finish off this kid, just like how he killed the Six Eyes brat from the Gojo Family.

Toji Fushiguro pulled the Inverted Spear of Heaven from Ushimaru's mouth, preparing to launch the final strike to end Alex Moyan.

Buzz buzz buzz——

A massive swarm of fly heads emerged from the forest, resembling a dense, dark cloud that almost obscured the entire sky.

Suddenly, the sky darkened, and visibility was obstructed.

Alex Moyan's gaze was calm, showing not the slightest hint of panic.

He scanned his surroundings.

It was at this moment that Toji Fushiguro stealthily appeared behind Alex Moyan without anyone noticing.

Toji Fushiguro's lips curled up, revealing a bloodthirsty smile.

The Inverted Spear of Heaven in his hand was like the most venomous snake in the world, striking at Alex Moyan from an extremely tricky angle.

"At this angle and distance, dodging with speed is impossible. You can only use a Cursed Technique to defend."

"Go on! Use your Cursed Technique, Special Grade."

Just as Toji Fushiguro expected, if Alex Moyan used a Cursed Technique to defend.

The result was exactly as Toji Fushiguro had foreseen: the Inverted Spear of Heaven passed through the Cursed Technique's defense as if it were nothing.

Without the slightest obstruction, it broke through the defense of his Cursed Technique.

"Die!" Toji Fushiguro was exhilarated!

Killing a Special Grade, what a delightful, what an ecstatic thing that was!

Toji Fushiguro's eyes shone brightly with a strange light, as if he wasn't cutting down Alex Moyan, but a shackle.

A shackle from the Zenin Family!

Clang—

The sound of golden metal clashing rang out. The Inverted Spear of Heaven was clearly only a few centimeters away from Alex Moyan's heart.

Yet, it could not advance an inch further!

Toji Fushiguro looked at the object blocking the Inverted Spear of Heaven.

The highlight in his eyes instantly vanished, and an extremely strange and complex expression appeared on his face.

In short, he was dumbfounded!

"Huh????"

Toji Fushiguro was stunned. Where the hell did this brick come from?!

And it's made of iron!

Toji Fushiguro's eyes widened, his mind racing!

But what he wanted to know most at that moment was why this guy carried an iron brick with him!

Alex Moyan was delighted to see this scene.

It was exactly as he had guessed: the Inverted Spear of Heaven could break through a Jujutsu Sorcerer's Cursed Technique.

But physically, it was just a sharp blade, completely countered by physical defense.

The complete opposite of the soul release blade.

So, if I take out a diamond brick made of titanium alloy, with extreme physical defense, how will your Inverted Spear of Heaven cope?

Before Toji Fushiguro could recover from his shock, Alex Moyan grabbed the wrist holding the weapon aimed at him.

Toji Fushiguro felt his right hand locked by an immense force. This power was stronger than his own; he couldn't move even slightly!

Toji Fushiguro subconsciously looked up at Alex Moyan.

At this moment, under the sunlight.

In Toji Fushiguro's eyes, Alex Moyan was just a blurred outline!

Like a great mountain, a mountain that could not be shaken, could not be surmounted!

Toji Fushiguro's pupils trembled slightly, as if the world had stopped.

Toji Fushiguro knew what was about to happen.

Boom boom boom!!!

Alex Moyan snatched the Inverted Spear of Heaven from his hand by gripping Toji Fushiguro's wrist.

The brick in his hand instantly slammed into Toji Fushiguro's face.

Then, his fists moved like a fierce storm, turning into streaks of afterimages, landing heavily on Toji Fushiguro's body with great force.

Toji Fushiguro was pummeled so hard he couldn't even muster a counterattack.

"Toji, welcome back."

It was a bright, sunny noon. A beautiful and gentle woman, wearing a floral apron, dignified and elegant, was meticulously preparing a meal.

"Yeah, I'm back." Toji Fushiguro smiled...

Bang!

With a loud crash, Toji Fushiguro's face was struck by a fist, sending him flying a hundred meters, smashing through one large tree after another.

Emitting sounds like rolling thunder.

"A flashback?" Toji Fushiguro was beaten black and blue by Alex Moyan, blood streaming from his nose.

His entire body was covered in dense fist marks.

He felt excruciating pain all over, but thanks to his body's superior recovery ability.

He quickly stood up from the ground again.

Toji Fushiguro spat out Ushimaru from his mouth and took out the wandering cloud.

Although his body still hurt, it didn't affect his ability to fight.

Just like when he was in the Zenin Family, even though the enemy before him was so powerful!

Toji Fushiguro's gaze was firm. Even though Alex Moyan had beaten him into a sorry state.

"Stupid kid!" Toji Fushiguro spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.

He stood tall and proud, looking at Alex Moyan, who was slowly walking over, with a look of contemptuous mockery.

As if to say, that last attack was nothing more than a tickle.

Alex Moyan walked over leisurely.

"As expected of the heavenly restriction tyrant. Getting beaten into a pig's head and still acting so arrogant. Impressive, impressive."

Alex Moyan teased.

"heavenly restriction tyrant?"

Toji Fushiguro grinned when he heard the term.

"A good title."

"Much more imposing than my title of Jujutsu Sorcerer Killer. I'll use this name from now on."

Alex Moyan paused, but upon reflection, it was true.

The heavenly restriction tyrant seemed to be a nickname given by netizens in his previous life.

Toji Fushiguro's real title in the Jujutsu world was Jujutsu Sorcerer Killer. It was quite an accidental turn of events.

"Doesn't matter."

"Then I now declare that I have won the first match."

Alex Moyan's words stunned Toji Fushiguro.

What first match?

"A match, best two out of three. If I win, you work for me. If you lose, I'll let you go."

"What's wrong? Any problems?" Alex Moyan asked with a sincere expression.

Toji Fushiguro frowned: "I never agreed to this request. Don't just say whatever you want."

"Did I not? You didn't agree?"

"I seem to remember you agreeing."

Alex Moyan said while swinging the brick in his hand.

Toji Fushiguro felt a chill run down his spine seeing the brick in Alex Moyan's hand. He recalled how his Inverted Spear of Heaven was blocked by this brick that had no Cursed Energy at all.

Alex Moyan noticed the other party's gaze drift to the brick.

Alex Moyan smiled and put it away.

"Oh, I picked it up on my way back. Do you believe me?"

Looking at Alex Moyan's completely sincere face, Toji Fushiguro's face was etched with disbelief.

"I'm serious, you have to believe me.", Alex Moyan said innocently.

How could Toji Fushiguro believe Alex Moyan's nonsense?

Toji Fushiguro suspected that Alex Moyan had long ago understood his information, knew about his special grade cursed tool, and deliberately carried an iron brick to mess with him.

No wonder he was so composed; so that was it.
