"I'm very familiar with Jing Jie's hypnotic attacks." Before Teng Danye could maintain his smug smile for more than a few seconds, Sei Itō's voice suddenly sounded in his ear. Then, an arm with five fingers formed into a knife emerged from his abdomen.
"Bang!" As soon as he finished speaking, there was another soft sound. A flaming sword instantly pierced through Sei Itō's back and through his chest. It then pierced through Teng Danye's back and came out of his chest, skewering him and Sei Itō together like meat skewers.
"My attack isn't something you can counter just because you understand it," Jing Jie sneered as he released his hand from the flaming sword.
"Wah, ugh …" Sei Itō spat out blood and turned his head with difficulty. He opened his mouth with an unwilling expression. Then, he and Teng Danye were turned into a huge torch by the flames rising from the flaming sword. They fell to the ground below.
"Hey, old man, how are we going to get information on Zhenmu and Jia Li from him if you burn that guy to death?" Teng Danye frowned as he stood in the air with his hands in his pockets. He looked at the human-shaped torch that was about to fall to the ground.
However, Jing Jie didn't answer Teng Danye's question. Instead, he frowned as he stared at the torch that had fallen to the ground. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Old man?" Teng Danye asked in confusion when he didn't get an answer.
At this moment, Jing Jie from the Ministry of War closed his eyes, and in the next second, he suddenly punched the cattail leaf beside him.
"Bang!" Teng Danye's expression changed when he saw this. He quickly moved his right hand in front of him. With his palm facing outwards, he caught Jing Jie's fist. Then, he turned around and leaned his back against Jing Jie's chest. He bent his left elbow and smashed it toward Jing Jie's face.
"Smack!" Jing Jie's expression didn't change. He immediately raised his free left hand to his face and used his palm to catch Teng Danye's elbow.
"Bang!" The next moment, Teng Danye let go of Jing Jie's right hand and quickly used his elbow to strike Jing Jie's right rib.
Jing Jie of the Ministry of War, who was suddenly struck, immediately bent over and retreated backwards.
Teng Cattail didn't show any mercy. He rushed to the front of Jing Jie, and with a thought from his palm, he struck Jing Jie's chest heavily.
"Boom!" In a flash. With a loud bang, a large cloud of smoke appeared on the ground.
"Hmph." Teng Cattail snorted and waved his hand to summon several bolts of lightning that turned into electric guns and shot them toward the smoke-filled ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Several explosions sounded from the ground. More smoke and dust rose from the ground, spreading into a light yellow dust mist that completely enveloped the area.
At this moment, Teng Cattail's figure flashed in mid-air. He turned into Sei Itō.
It turned out that when the Vacuum Slash hit Teng Cattail, Sei Itō felt that he had been hypnotized by Jing Jie. As a result, Sei Itō beat Jing Jie at his own game. When he waved his hand to attack Teng Cattail with a wind blade, he used reverse hypnosis to fight against Jing Jie. At the same time, he made Jing Jie of the Ministry of War think that he had fallen into an illusion that he had created. At the same time, he used Jing Jie of the Ministry of War's psychological state to make him fall into his own illusion.
However, Sei Itō knew from the original work. As long as the Ministry of War's Jing Jie launched a hypnotic attack, he would continuously set up multiple layers of illusions. Therefore, Itō Seiji used the information obtained from the original work to deduce the possible reactions of the Ministry of War's Jing Jie, and set up one illusion trap after another. He waited for Jing Jie of the Ministry of War to enter.
As expected, after two or three exchanges, he finally managed to make Jing Jie of the Ministry of War completely fall into his illusion trap.
However, Jing Jie of the Ministry of War had lived in a pitiful world for more than eighty years. He was an old monster who had experienced a world war and who knew how many mysterious battles in the Dark World. His level of cautiousness was truly shocking. Not long after he fell into the illusion, he found clues from the burning corpse. Then, he closed his eyes and sealed off his vision, which was the most affected by hypnosis, and used other methods to determine the situation around him.
After that, the scene from before happened.
As for the real Teng Cattail, he had only just recovered from the multiple illusions that Sei Itō and Jing Jie of the Ministry of War had created.
Seeing that Teng Cattail had recovered, Sei Itō didn't waste any time. He immediately teleported behind him and pressed his palm, which was covered in lightning, against Teng Cattail's back.
"Ahhhhh!" Teng Cattail, who had been electrocuted, immediately arched his body and let out a long scream.
After a moment, the electrocution stopped. Teng Cattail, who was smoking all over, immediately fainted and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Sei Itō reached out and grabbed Teng Cattail's collar. Then, with a thought, he also put him into the Rubik's Cube world and locked him up in the Esper Prison together with Masaru Sirou and Hino Jali.
"Boom!" At this moment, there was a loud explosion from the smoke on the ground below. An extremely powerful Esper wave that was far beyond a Lv7 level rose from the ground and blew away the smoke like a hurricane, revealing Jing Jie of the Ministry of War. His clothes were tattered but his body was unharmed. His body was covered in pitch-black psychic waves that looked like rising flames. His hair was standing on its own without any wind, and his eyes were lifeless.
"[Infinite Expiation] …" Sei Itō frowned as he looked at Jing Jie of the Ministry of War's current appearance.
[Infinite Expiation] was a move unique to Jing Jie of the Ministry of War. It was a type of Esper ability that could be controlled by the accumulation of various Esper abilities that originally belonged to dead comrades in the body. The explosive power produced could instantly push Jing Jie of the Ministry of War's Esper speed to the peak of this world.
Of course, this move was not without its side effects. After all, whether the Esper ability was controllable or not, there was no doubt about the damage it would cause to the body. Therefore, [Infinite Expiation], which used the explosive power produced by the Esper ability to increase one's strength, had the side effect of causing irreparable damage to the body after a certain period of time. It was a killer move that traded one's life for strength, similar to the Sky Demon Body Disintegration Technique.
"But I remember that this move should be a power that Jing Jie of the Ministry of War can only master after three or four years. Could it be that my attack and Jing Jie of the Ministry of War's strong will to live caused the power hidden in his body to erupt?!" Sei Itō frowned as he guessed.
At this time, Jing Jie of the Ministry of War suddenly raised his head and stared at Sei Itō with his empty eyes. Then, his figure flashed and suddenly appeared in front of Sei Itō, releasing a telekinetic attack at him.
"Boom!" With a loud explosion, Sei Itō's body immediately flew out of the air and smashed into the ground like a cannonball.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom ~" Then, a large number of telekinetic beams shot out from Jing Jie's hands and bombarded Sei Itō's body, who was still in the deep pit. One after another, explosions sounded from the ground, and a large amount of smoke quickly spread out like volcanic ash.
Those eyes must have entered an unconscious state just now. They're releasing their instincts. Sei Itō thought to himself as he tried to use all his telekinetic energy to form a protective barrier to block Jing Jie's Level-seven attacks.
"No, I can't just stand there and wait. Although I might be able to exhaust Jing Jie of the Ministry of War, I might be killed by his attacks before he dies!" Sei Itō thought to himself as he looked at the telekinetic barrier in front of him that was about to collapse.
Then, with a thought, a shadow clone suddenly appeared beside him. It nodded at Sei Itō and activated Earthmeld to instantly burrow into the ground. Then, a few seconds later, it emerged from another part of the ground that wasn't within Jing Jie's attack range.
Following that, the shadow clone slapped the ground with his palm, and a large area of electric light instantly covered the ground in front of him. A large amount of paper appeared and floated up from the ground amidst the electric light. They formed many shurikens in midair and shot out toward Jing Jie from the Ministry of War.
"Whoosh." On the other side, Jing Jie of the Ministry of War didn't stop attacking. He waved his free arm to the side, and a wave of fire immediately appeared around him, burning towards the paper shurikens.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough." Seeing the wave of fire burning towards the paper shurikens, the shadow clone immediately straightened up. His hands quickly formed several hand seals in front of him, and he blew at the wave of fire in midair.
A gust of wind instantly appeared in front of the doppelganger, blowing towards the waves of fire like a gust of wind.
"Whoosh!" The meeting of fire and wind was like a hungry woman meeting a hungry man. They immediately tangled together in midair, forming an even larger wave of wind and fire that burned fiercely in midair.
Seeing this, the shadow clone didn't hesitate. The energy in his body exploded once again, and he blew out another Wind Release: Great Breakthrough.
Soon, this new gust of wind caught up with its brother from before and joined up with him. It turned into a fierce man, and together with Sister Flame, it charged toward Jing Jie of the Ministry of War.
Seeing that the shadow clone wasn't fast enough, he formed another hand seal and released another Wind Release: Great Breakthrough to blow at the wave of fire.
With the addition of a new force, the wave of fire became even faster. It almost reached Jing Jie of the Ministry of War in the blink of an eye.
Jing Jie of the Ministry of War, who didn't have any consciousness and only acted on instinct, immediately stopped attacking. His figure flashed, and he disappeared from the wave of fire, appearing in another part of the sky.
Using this opportunity, Sei Itō, who had escaped, immediately teleported into the sky. He waved his hand and released several wind blades at Jing Jie of the Ministry of War. Then, without even looking at the results, he teleported again and appeared behind Jing Jie of the Ministry of War, reaching out his hand to grab his neck.
Jing Jie of the Ministry of War instinctively became alert. Lightning flashed on his body, and a large amount of lightning instantly appeared, crackling as it charged towards Sei Itō's arm.
Seeing this, Sei Itō quickly released his psychokinesis, forming a psychokinesis gauntlet to block the lightning attack. Then, his arm continued to grab Jing Jie of the Ministry of War's neck.
At this moment, a finger flashing with psychokinesis suddenly appeared beside Jing Jie of the Ministry of War's neck. It released a psychokinesis attack towards Sei Itō.
