Anyway, he has done his best in his life. The fact that things turned out this way can only be attributed to bad luck. There are countless people in history who failed at the last hurdle, so it doesn't matter if he does it again.
Even if you succeed... it doesn't necessarily mean you'll win.
Xia Youjie mocked himself inwardly, his expression becoming increasingly calm and composed.
They stood motionless, as if waiting for death.
Chu Yang walked up to him and slowly stabbed the knife in his hand toward Xia Youjie's heart.
Despite the intense pain, Xia Youjie's expression remained unchanged.
The panda and the dog-like creature landed right next to Zenji Maki and Otsuko Yuta.
The four people held their breath and watched silently from the side.
The blade did not pierce a vital spot, but instead swiftly engraved mysterious runes on Xia Youjie's heart. After a brief period of pain, Xia Youjie discovered that his injury was not as serious as he had imagined.
Amazing!
Xia Youjie was utterly shocked.
When the knife tip left Xia Youjie's body, he staggered and collapsed to the ground, losing consciousness, but he did not die.
Only a master swordsman like Chu Yang, whose skills have reached the pinnacle, could do that.
Chu Yang inscribed the Flying Thunder God's incantation on Xia Youjie's heart, so he can now appear by Xia Youjie's side at any time if he wishes.
The four pandas felt a chill run down their spines.
From their perspective, Chu Yang was killing Xia Youjie in an extremely cruel way.
The thought of stabbing someone in the heart and turning it around is painful enough.
This misunderstanding is actually quite good, as it prevents them from noticing anything amiss.
Chu Yang carried Xia Youjie's "corpse" out of the college. Zenjima and the others dared not ask any questions and could only watch him leave.
Arriving at a deserted place, Chu Yang first treated Xia Youjie's injuries, then woke him up, who was somewhat dazed.
"You won't kill me?"
"I want your life."
"What is the value of my life? Compared to you, I'm no different from an ant, am I?"
"Whether it has value or not is up to me. Even if you are an ant, you are a relatively large ant."
Chu Yang said frankly, "I don't really like the current world of sorcery. Whether it's those big families or the higher-ups at sorcery colleges, they can arbitrarily define the good and evil of sorcerers. But in my opinion, some of them are more like sorcerers than sorcerers themselves."
"I want to rewrite the world order."
"I have no interest in mocking your ideals, even if I think they are naive. But before you have the ability to realize your ideals, why don't you help me achieve my wish first?"
Xia Youjie was lost in thought for a long time before he chuckled softly, "Why should I help you?"
Chu Yang plunged the knife directly into Xia Youjie's chest and said coldly, "I'm not giving you a choice, I'm just giving you a chance to live."
The cold blade pierced his body again in a familiar way. Xia Youjie's breathing became rapid. The feeling of being on the verge of death was unpleasant and repeatedly eroded his courage to face death.
Just as Chu Yang was about to continue his artistic creation on his heart, Xia Youjie chose to give in.
"Very good. From today onwards, we are partners on the same side. I am not very capable, but I can reluctantly be the leader. What do you think?"
Chu Yang's kind smile felt strangely familiar to Xia Youjie. He suddenly remembered what Chu Yang had said before the battle and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "So you were after me from the very beginning, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind..."
"In this situation, if I were to oppose it, I would definitely die. Is there any other way but to agree?"
Chu Yang nodded and said, "Since you agree, then hurry up and figure out a way to fool Gojo Satoru. He'll be back soon."
Xia Youjie summoned a worm-like spirit.
Then he dripped a few drops of blood onto the cursed spirit, which immediately transformed into his appearance.
Chu Yang immediately understood and used the tip of his knife to smash the fake Xia Youjie's heart, obtaining a perfect corpse.
"The corpse can only exist for a maximum of one hour. If it exceeds that time, the cursed spirit will disappear."
Xia Youjie squinted and reminded Chu Yang.
"Alright, you'd better hurry up and leave, lest you run into Gojo Satoru later, which would be even more troublesome."
Chu Yang waved his hand, signaling him to leave.
"Aren't you going to ask me where my headquarters are? Don't you plan to come looking for me in the future?"
Xia Youjie looked puzzled.
"I can find you anytime I want. If you don't believe me, you can try hiding."
Chu Yang sneered and issued a warning in a joking tone.
For some reason, Xia Youjie felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that Chu Yang must have done something to him, but he couldn't figure out how.
Xia Youjie felt uncomfortable staying by Chu Yang's side any longer, so he immediately summoned a spirit to take him away from the college.
Not long after, Gojo Satoru rushed back to the college in the afterglow of dusk and saw Chu Yang and the corpse of the fake Xia Youjie at the gate.
Gojo Satoru suddenly slowed his pace, walked slowly to the corpse, stared at it for a while, and then turned to look at Chu Yang, "Thank you for your hard work."
Chu Yang shook his head, took out a student ID from his pocket and handed it to Gojo Satoru. It was Otsuko Yuta's student ID, which he had lost during a mission not long ago and which was picked up by Xia Youjie.
"Do you need some time?"
"Thank you, then please wait for me a little longer."
Chu Yang nodded and sat down in front of the steps.
Gazing at the fiery clouds on the horizon, I silently waited for Gojo Satoru to mourn his dear friend.
Three minutes later, Gojo Satoru stretched and seemed to have returned to his usual carefree attitude.
"You guessed Xia Youjie's target was You Tai all along, so you deliberately stayed at the vocational high school, right?"
Gojo Satoru's lips curled up slightly as he recalled Chu Yang's hesitant expression during the previous meeting.
"Just luck."
Chu Yang smiled and, imitating Wu Tiaowu, sat on the steps and stretched.
"Are you fighting Xia Youjie alone in this battle?"
Gojo Satoru stood at a distance, his back to Chu Yang.
When he asked that question, no one could see the surprise on his face.
"You want to ask if Yigu Youtai made a move? Unfortunately, he didn't have time."
Chu Yang shook his head.
Gojo Satoru suddenly turned to stare at Chu Yang. The Special Grade was already the pinnacle of the sorcery world, and Xia Youjie was an even stronger one among the Special Grade. In the entire Sorcery High School, besides himself, he couldn't find a second person who could reliably defeat him.
"Your Level 1 rating hasn't even been announced yet, and now you have to be re-evaluated. You really know how to cause trouble for the higher-ups."
Gojo Satoru grinned and teased Chu Yang.
"Actually, I'm quite curious to see what expressions those higher-ups will have after Xia Youjie takes Qi Benlixiang away. For them, that's the real trouble..."
Chu Yang's tone was stern.
"Oh ho, Yangyang~~~ Your idea is dangerous, this won't do, Youtai will die."
Gojo Satoru continued to laugh to himself.
However, the atmosphere between the two gradually became strange after Chu Yang said something.
"Although I also really hate those stinking old men..."
Before the atmosphere became even more tense, Gojo Satoru jokingly added to the previous sentence.
"You rushed here so urgently, wasn't it for Etsuyuta? You should hurry up and deal with Xia Youjie's body and go see him."
Chu Yang calculated the time and casually reminded Gotō Sū.
Wu Tiao Wu walked straight into the college, turned his back to Chu Yang and waved, saying, "Help me bury him in a scenic place, so that I'll feel better when I visit him next time."
Chu Yang had already guessed that he would react this way. After Gojo Satoru left, he took the fake Xia Youjie's body directly away.
Gojo Satoru walked a short distance toward the classroom, where there were ruins everywhere, making it easy to imagine how fierce the battle had just taken place.
When Yuta saw Gojo Satoru's figure in the distance, he quickly called out:
"Teacher Gojo!"
Several people gathered around and vividly recounted the battle that had just taken place.
"When that guy named Xia Youjie arrived, I almost thought something terrible was going to happen."
"I didn't expect Senior Yang to eliminate thousands of cursed spirits with just one strike. It's just that his method of killing Xia Youjie at the end was somewhat cruel..."
Gojo Satoru listened silently as the four excitedly recounted their battle.
Amidst the cacophony of voices, he gained a relatively clear picture of the battle between the two.
"He won so easily. He seems to have even greater potential than Yuta. If this continues, could he really become a 'Tyrant of Heaven' with cursed magic?"
Gojo Satoru suddenly recalled his life-or-death battle with Fushiguro Jinji during his student days. If he had been less lucky, he might have actually died at Fushiguro's hands.
The thought that Chu Yang could grow to that level, or even become more powerful, stirred a flutter in Gojo Satoru's heart.
