The King of Curses

Chapter 170: Thunder Exorcises Ghosts and Monsters

"boom!"

A huge insect tail fell from the sky, crushing the roof of the concrete house. The rusty iron door deformed in an instant and flew backwards.

The walls collapsed, the exposed steel bars looked like hideous animal bones, the glass was shattered all over the floor, and the dust in the room flew in the night sky.

A young girl with a ponytail jumped out from the scattered smoke and dust, rolled on the ground, and nimbly avoided the attack.

After she stood up, she ignored the monster with a human head and a worm body that was showing off in the night, but looked into the distance. A slender figure was running towards the distant forest, getting farther away from them, and it was obvious that the person was running very hard.

"Yes, no problem, Senior Jiang has already left."

Song Yutang calmed down and turned his attention to the sorcerer who had transformed into a ghost.

Just now, when she faced Ke Junchen's attack with his tail raised high, obviously intending to connect it to the house and crush both of them together, she did not dodge immediately, but stayed where she was and used herself as bait.

She waited until Jiang Yunmei, an ordinary person, escaped from the house before she seized the opportunity to hide.

If Song Yutang hadn't recently clearly felt that his physical abilities had been enhanced in all aspects, he would not have dared to do such a thing.

His feet in sneakers jumped twice on the spot, and his long and powerful legs under his trousers contained amazing explosive power.

She looks like a beauty who is used to doing aerobic exercises in the gym, but if she takes off her clothes and exerts a little strength, you can see beautiful muscle lines in her abdomen and forearms, just like a nimble deer in the forest.

The girl moved her body on the spot, her eyes fixed on the movements of the giant man-worm not far away, but the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.

She is a natural born spellcaster, and like her master, she gets high from the thrill of stressful battles.

I was able to dodge it, and it was easier than last time!

The guy seemed to be bigger than before, more dangerous and powerful, but that didn't affect her.

This is also thanks to Master’s teachings.

When Song Yutang expressed her second superpower, hoping to develop abilities related to physical strengthening, her master passed on his experience to her.

Using a firm will to guide and allow the body to constantly adapt can indeed allow the life ban to develop new abilities according to one's wishes to a certain extent.

Although not every spell has this kind of flexibility, and the supernatural powers developed must "not deviate from its origin", that is, it is impossible to think of a supernatural power that has nothing to do with the origin of the spell as one pleases and thinks whimsically; but as long as the key factors of the spell are grasped and the situation is taken advantage of, there is still a chance of success.

Especially the life ban, as an innate talent, is more malleable than ordinary spells; and Cen Dongsheng's "Transformation to Otherness" can bring this property to the extreme.

However, the spellcasters of this era do not have this clear awareness, and often develop new superpowers in a confused state, mostly influenced by years of experience or stimulated by a sudden encounter, rather than doing it on their own initiative.

Song Yutang was lucky enough to receive instruction from a reborn person who possessed knowledge of the future.

"Tian Lei Wuwang", its root is to control the power of thunder. The word "thunder" can be big or small. It refers to the thunder in nature, the thunder in the artificial world, and the thunder in the human body, that is, the bioelectric current - whether it is muscle movement or nerve sensation, the human body is inseparable from bioelectric changes.

Creations that utilize this important phenomenon are commonplace in modern society. For example, detection devices such as the electrocardiogram (ECG) and electroencephalogram (EEG) can infer whether physiological processes are in a normal state based on bioelectric changes. Or vice versa, electrical signals of a certain intensity and frequency can be input to specific tissue sites to affect the physiological state of the human body, such as "pacemakers".

The principle was easy to understand and Song Yutang grasped it quickly.

Cen Dongsheng was not worried that she would go astray or that her efforts would be in vain. After all, he knew that the future "cover girl" had indeed developed this ability.

But this time, Song Yutang will compress this process into one month after the awakening spell.

Once you know the principle, the process is also simple: force your body to get familiar with it.

The initial self-training was like torture.

When the curse was on the verge of awakening, she would often be pricked by the electric current leaking from her body, but compared with this special training, it was nothing - the pain was magnified five times and the duration was extended twenty times, and that was the pain she experienced.

Apart from daily life and other regular training and meditation, she could only train in this way for 30 to 45 minutes a day, and then she would be exhausted and sweating all over, so she would take a shower, lie down on the bed and fall asleep.

But Song Yutang has a tenacity in her nature that ordinary people do not possess. Although before this, she was just a female college student with a happy family, who had never suffered much and lived an ordinary but happy life, she still showed outstanding talents in willpower and fighting.

Cen Dongsheng was not there to supervise her. Song Yutang achieved this progress entirely through self-motivation.

After a week, Song Yutang felt the changes in his muscle fibers and his nerve reflex speed had also increased significantly. However, he still seemed to be some distance away from awakening his new superpowers.

However, at this moment, Song Yutang had a vague feeling in his heart:
If I can win this fierce battle, maybe—

……

"boom!"

Another heavy blow came down from the sky. Song Yutang jumped back to avoid it and stretched out his finger to shoot an electric current at the opponent.

Her movement speed has surpassed the limits of human athletes. She is as fast as the wind, her whole body is shining with lightning, and she leaves an afterimage on the spot.

The man-worm did not dodge, but instead exhaled a puff of thick black smoke.

It was highly compressed Yin Qi, and when it came into contact with the electric light, it was like ice and snow meeting fire. It made a "hissing" sound and then melted quickly.

The true Qi of the spell-binding master can restrain the Yin Qi of ghosts and monsters, but this restraint has its limits. If the latter is too massive, it will in turn engulf the former - just like now, because Ke Junchen has a considerable advantage in the amount of Yin Qi, the black smoke was dissipated by the lightning and almost half of it, and the remaining force rushed towards the spell-binding master.

Song Yutang dodged again and began to circle around the five-story-tall human-faced insect monster. She ran so fast that only a phantom remained in Ke Junchen's sight.

The girl's eyes flashed indigo electric afterimages as she moved at high speed, swaying a ray of light backwards, just like a special effect.

"I see!"

Song Yutang's sight passed through the black fog and focused on a burnt "hole" not far below the huge head...

...The wound is still there!
That was the place where she had attacked him with a sneak attack when they first became enemies. Although this guy had become stronger again for some reason, the wound she had left behind had not healed.

After the special training, Song Yutang's reaction speed improved even more than her athletic performance. At this moment, something wonderful happened: in her focused eyes, time seemed to slow down, and the surrounding scenes were all clearly reflected in her pupils:

Sweat splashing on the cheeks, the monster's mouth slowly opening as it roared, the thick black fog spreading bit by bit like paint in water, the dust and flying stones scattered in the night wind...

From this perspective, Song Yutang saw the threats that the enemy might pose next one by one, and was sure that speed was the advantage on this side.

She remained calm, stretched out her hand and aimed at the wound, and the electric light expanded at her fingertips at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Song Yutang had already thought about the battle strategy before coming.

Ke Junchen's human-insect form is huge, and he looks thick-skinned and tough. The amount of Yin Qi he possesses is obviously greater than his own true Qi. If he were to face the enemy head-on in a war of attrition, he would definitely be the loser.

Besides, she is made of flesh and blood, and if she is slapped by the monster, she may be seriously injured.

Her advantage lies in speed, both in terms of movement speed and reaction speed; and the thunder she releases seems to have a stronger suppressive effect on Yin Qi. So the strategy is very simple: dodge the attacks of the ghosts, and at the same time find the weaknesses of the opponent, and win with one strike.

Song Yutang didn't know where this guy's weak spot was at first, so he had to run in circles to observe.

But after noticing the wound on Ke Junchen's neck, the girl had an idea: since she didn't know where the weakness was, she might as well create one.

The wound left last time was not fatal enough, so he would further deepen the original wound and make this monster, which was not sure whether it was an insect or a snake, start to fear his "weak point"!
……

The lightning arrow was shot first and arrived later, hitting the wound accurately.

"Bah-"

Just as Song Yutang expected, the trauma expanded further.

The goblin felt pain, and raised its coiled body to block its neck, letting out an earth-shaking roar, and smashing its thick tail around.

Song Yutang dodged left and right in the critical moment, avoiding every fierce blow.

Dust rose up and cracks appeared on the ground; the girl's graceful dance-like dodge seemed dangerous, but in her eyes, whose reflexes were so strong that they could produce a phenomenon similar to "time slowing down", it was as easy as dodging a thrown ball.

Even at the moment when the ghost's attack relaxed, she seized the opportunity, raised her hand and fired another lightning bolt, hitting the "vital point" again.

This time, Song Yutang could even see the space behind—the entire wound was penetrated.

……

"Roar--"

Ke Junchen raised his head high, and quickly shrank his whole body, using his huge body as a wall.

The sorcerer's ghost stared at her fiercely with an unbelievable look; but behind this ferocity, there was an indescribable fear.

how come?
How could it be... beaten so badly that it had no power to fight back?

Although it withdrew early last time, it was only because it obeyed the orders of the Master.

After all, it appeared in the dormitory on a whim to take revenge on its roommate. The Human Master didn't like it to act on its own, so it chose to evacuate immediately after encountering the Curse Master.

But given the situation at the time, if the fight really continued, it would be the only winner.

As for the wound, it felt that it was ambushed, which allowed the other party to succeed; but now it was different, the two sides were facing the enemy head-on, and later it received the blessing of the human master, its body became larger and stronger -

It couldn't think of any reason why it lost.

But that's what happened.

This woman's movements were too strange, and she couldn't hurt him at all...

If this continues, it will lose, or even... die?

……

On the other hand, Song Yutang became more and more excited, and enjoyed the fight more and more.

“I really understand…!”

The master suggested this, and she herself felt the same way: if she wanted to shorten the time it took to master new abilities, she could only master the tricks in battle.

And now, she has really touched that threshold.

That amazing lightning-fast reaction and observation ability, and the wonderful phenomenon of slowing down time, is undoubtedly a symbol of new supernatural powers.

Song Yutang stopped running and watched the other party wrapping up the wound in panic, without moving.

The girl exhaled and released a flash of lightning at random, leaving scorch marks on the ghost's skin. After adjusting her breath for a moment and waiting for her true energy to be replenished again, she released another bolt of lightning, which made Ke Junchen howl.

She couldn't do anything to the other party at the moment, but everyone knew that this passive and cowardly posture could not be maintained for too long.

And if it dares to let down its defense, she will hit its vital points again with superhuman speed...

"Master, Master, give me strength."

Suddenly, she heard a fanatical voice coming from the entrenched body, and this guy was praying to the so-called "human teacher".

Song Yutang was on high alert; but after a while, the night became dark, the forest in the distance was deep and silent, and nothing happened.

"Master? Master? Where are you..."

There was a hint of hesitation and nervousness in Ke Junchen's voice.

"Please listen to my voice..."

"Why, your God has no time for you?"

Song Yutang laughed.

She suddenly realized something - it was just some kind of intuition, she felt that the "master" this guy mentioned might not have time to take care of his younger brother.

"damn it!"

The mocked ghost was extremely angry, and after realizing that it could not get help from the human master, the Yin Qi in its body surged, and the wind howled, covering an area of ​​100 meters.

——It decided to give it a try.

"I am going to kill you!"

The curled up body stretched out, and the strange giant insect body stood up.

Song Yutang did not miss this opportunity. He poured all his strength into releasing an electric shock, which turned into a sickle shining with dazzling light, piercing through the black fog and hitting the target with one strike.

Accompanied by the ghost's tragic howling and the smell of burning flesh, this attack almost cut off its entire head along the wound, leaving only a little flesh hanging, and the head drooped to the side, seriously injured;

However, the Yin Qi that erupted from its body did not dissipate. Instead, it continued to expand and swell, forming a small tornado that attracted all the surrounding sand, soil and rocks.

The thick black mist released from Ke Junchen had some kind of polluting property. Under the influence of this force, the solid ground turned into a dark quagmire...

The place where Song Yutang was standing was slowly disappearing, and his body was uncontrollably sucked into the tornado.
