Grudge Breaker

Chapter 246: Living Towards Death
A thunderous dragon roar resounded throughout time and space!

Even the dark swamp that was falling rapidly and as sticky as asphalt paused.

Blue light flowed out of the Qinglong's eyes, and the snow-white hair on its back swayed and flew, as if a powerful blue cloud energy was rising from its body and rushing towards the darkness above its head!

It was visible to the naked eye that the speed of the dark swamp's fall had slowed down significantly.
.
"Little Chic, Suzaku!"

Song Weichen called the two phantoms with his heart sound, but there was no response.

The black swamp above her head was only ten meters away from her. She could clearly feel something churning and stirring inside, but Song Weichen knew that it was an evil spirit and definitely not her phantom.

After being swallowed, they are sinking somewhere in this hellish swamp. If they are not rescued, they will surely die.

correct!

Song Weichen had a flash of inspiration.

Why do we need to know where they are - just call them back and control them!

"Qinglong, hold on, I need half an incense stick of time!"

The Azure Dragon let out a long roar and coiled its body around her like a pillar, protecting her inside.

Song Weichen had broken bones in many places, and her hands and feet could not move. She could only half lie and half lean on Qinglong. She was not sure if she could successfully recall the phantom spirit in this state, so she could only try her best.

She closed her eyes and put aside all distracting thoughts, using the mental method taught by Mo Tingfeng to control the puppet.

In a moment, Song Weichen clearly felt two forces returning to the void of Yukui. It was her little guinea pig and Suzaku, for sure, but their energy was extremely weak, especially the little meatball, which had only a wisp of residual spirit left. It would probably require a lot of puppet energy to recover.

She let out a long sigh.

I'm glad you're back! I'm glad you're back!

But then he couldn't help but sigh. If he couldn't get out of here, how could he absorb the puppet energy?
Come to think of it, Song Weichen didn't even know where he was at the moment or how he got here.

In fact, after she had enough energy to speak, she had tried to use the Name Summoning Ban on Mo Tingfeng, but it had no effect, which meant that this place was definitely not real. But where exactly was this place? Where did this death curse take her, was it an illusion or hell?
How can she break the impasse?

……

Just as she was panicking, a rustling sound above her head brought her back to the present.

There were countless thin threads hanging in the black swamp, and hanging from each thread was a black spider with a faint green luster, which was as big as Song Weichen's fist.

They quickly wove webs as they fell down, obviously intending to trap Song Weichen and Qinglong in them - if Zhuque could still exert his fighting power at this moment and burn them with true fire, it would be a way to restrain them.

It’s a pity that the Azure Dragon used the power of water mines, which did not have an advantage in attributes. In order to protect Song Weichen, it could not really let go and fight. It could only continue to generate blue cloud energy to blow the spider back to its nest.

However, the black swamp spawned an endless stream of spiders. After an unknown amount of time, Qinglong inevitably became tired and revealed his flaws. Two spiders took the opportunity to land on him.

The spider quickly weaved a web around Qinglong's body. The moment the web was formed, it glowed brightly and suddenly began to tighten like a tight hoop. The force was so fierce that the spider silk instantly penetrated into Qinglong's body like the sharpest steel blade. The force was so strong that it almost cut its body off!
Qinglong screamed in pain, and thunder energy burst out of his body. The spider and its silk instantly turned into black smoke and dissipated, but the places where the spider silk was cut were like the acupuncture points were blocked and could not produce any thunder energy - if this continued, it was only a matter of time before Qinglong became a trapped beast to be slaughtered.

Even so, it still coiled its body and protected Song Weichen firmly inside, becoming her only and most solid line of defense.

However, the Azure Dragon had to resist the fall of the Black Swamp and guard against the invasion of spiders, so it could not hold on for long. Several more spiders fell on the Azure Dragon - and took root in places where it could no longer produce thunder energy.

This is a battle with no chance of winning.
.
There is very little energy left in the puppet control. If it is all used up, these phantom spirits will probably be completely annihilated.

Song Weichen made a decision.

She silently practiced her mental method and sent Qinglong back to the puppet.

Although I am not a very powerful puppeteer yet, I am definitely the most loving puppeteer in history - just think of her as being too soft-hearted.

If she had to die, why would she watch the phantom spirit die with her? Song Weichen could not move, she lay quietly on the ground, watching the spiders and the black swamp falling towards her. Surprisingly, at this moment, she felt calm and at ease, even without the fear that had been lingering in her heart since she saw the strange face of the Lord of the Corpse Forest.

And the changes began to happen from this moment.

……

The spiders that fell towards her were disappearing as they fell, even the endless black swamp... In the end, everything returned to nothingness, and she lay in the void again, with only the face of the Lord of the Corpse Forest with black eye sockets in front of her.

Its empty eye sockets without eyeballs were spinning rapidly around, as if looking for her, as if it didn't understand why she suddenly disappeared - but she was clearly right in front of it.

Song Weichen smiled.

She seemed to have figured out one thing - this monster, which had transformed into the Lord of the Corpse Forest, relied on "fear" to capture and locate her. When the fear in her heart disappeared, its "radar" failed and it could no longer lock onto her.

And those various bizarre "weird things" that attacked her and the phantom were most likely the "incarnation" of her inner fear. The more frightened she was, the greater the lethality of the "weird things".

Song Weichen's mind was extremely clear at this moment.

It seems that the death curse cannot truly borrow the power of the "Lord of the Corpse Forest" himself, but instead allows ignorant people to arbitrarily misunderstand and demonize the power of this legendary "Tomb Master" because of his seemingly ominous appearance, and develop a great fear of him.

I'm afraid the essence of "death curse" is to "curse yourself to death", to kill yourself with your inner fear of death.

No wonder Buddhists say, "No fear, no delusion, no dreams, no Nirvana."

……

"hehe."

Song Weichen actually laughed out loud, like a victorious general with little health left.

She suddenly understood that the opposite of death is not necessarily life, but not being afraid of death.

It turns out that "death" can really turn a person into a philosopher.
.
Song Weichen calmly closed his eyes in the void.

Whether you are the red-eyed cemetery protector or the black-eyed cemetery protector, I, Song Weichen, will sacrifice my body to you and throw it into the cemetery to give alms to birds, beasts, insects and fish, to realize impermanence and emptiness, and to destroy my anger.

Let him be all these things...

"Click."

In a trance, Song Weichen seemed to hear the sound of an eggshell shattering - the sound of a huge and thick eggshell shattering.

……

"you're awake?"

Song Weichen opened his eyes and met Mo Tingfeng's eyes which were full of extreme worry and tenderness.

"Weiwei, you scared me to death. You suddenly passed out on the way back home. There was nothing wrong with your body, but I couldn't wake you up no matter what I did."

……

His words left Song Weichen stunned for a while.

It turned out that he vomited blood, broke bones, fought to the death with evil spirits, and finally sacrificed his life... but to outsiders, it seemed like he just fainted?
It turns out that the world after being in a coma is so terrifying that it takes all your strength to wake up.

"Well, wake up."

Song Weichen smiled slightly, she knew she had won.

"Mo Tingfeng, nice to meet you."
