The King of Curses

Chapter 265 Bystanders

minutes ago.

When the battle between Zhang Shidao and the Dragon Slayer was about to break out, the atmosphere hanging over the entire Shanyin Ghost Market had become extremely depressing.

The conference room trembled as if in fear, dust fell from the ceiling, and the ground beneath their feet was like a small sampan, rising and falling with the waves.

The three forces gathered together. No matter whether it was the members of the Super Working Committee, the followers of the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly, or the waiters of the Ghost Market operators, they all looked confused and panicked at this moment. Some looked at each other, while others walked to the window, trying to find the source of the vibration.

Only the three people at the negotiation table remained calm.

An Zhizhen remained calm, Cen Dongsheng looked serious, and Zhang Shidao, who was sitting in front of him, smiled, as if he didn't feel the change at all.

He sat upright in a chair, drinking tea calmly.

The hot water in the teacup was shaken out and splashed on him, but Zhang Shidao was completely unaware of it and continued with the previous topic.

"Actually, the Dragon Slayer and I met half a year ago...Did he talk to you about this matter?"

"He doesn't have a very good impression of you."

Cen Dongsheng said.

"I might have been a little impatient when I was testing him, but luckily we didn't really fight."

Zhang Shidao laughed.

"But I have always respected this senior. As far as I know, he is one of the oldest special-class spell-forbidden masters. He has been a spell-forbidden master for many years before the era of spiritual energy revival."

"Compared to 'lucky guys' like us, half of the Dragon Slayer's achievements are due to his own skills. Therefore, he has the most experience and the most ambition among his peers. When it comes to exploring 'higher levels', he is also the one who has gone the furthest. When we are still unable to confirm whether we can reach a higher level, the Dragon Slayer has already started researching."

Zhang Shidao came to this conclusion based on his own perspective.

But in the eyes of Cen Dongsheng, the reborn person, the one who has gone the furthest among all the "special curse masters" is most likely the King Kuruo of "Shengwang Sijue".

This person has always maintained a mystical style. If he had not reached the top earlier than Sister Zhizhen and became the "first ancestor" who was recorded in history, King Kurong's presence would be far less than that of the others.

Then again, the Dragon Slayer was not a Life Ban contestant, but was promoted to the Special Class as an ordinary Curse Ban Master? This is really... unexpected. He can indeed be called a "senior", Cen Dongsheng thought.

"Really? But today, you didn't hesitate to fall out with this 'respected senior'."

There was still a hint of tentativeness in An Zhizhen's words, but now she spoke in a tone of certainty.

"I feel very sorry about this. Although I respect his personal struggle, our philosophies do not match each other."

Zhang Shidao put down his teacup and sighed.

"A dragon slayer is a villain who will do anything to achieve his goal, no matter how many lives are sacrificed. As for me, I don't mind if a few people die, but if the goal is only for myself, it seems too meaningless."

"I enjoy the respect and admiration from people. If I have such a powerful power but it is unknown to others, or if people hate and fear me... I would feel very sad. Since you are willing to shoulder the responsibility of the Super Working Committee, I believe you can understand my feelings."

The other person laughed again.

"No, you should have a stronger sense of responsibility than me. I want to be admired, but I find it troublesome to deal with people, so I choose to start a new business. But you can be patient and mediate the relationship between the spell master and ordinary people."

After this praise, Zhang Shidao suddenly shut his mouth, as if he had no intention of speaking again.

The trembling under my feet never stopped for a moment, but instead became more and more intense; the window glass was illuminated by the incomparably brilliant golden light, as if a new sun was rising.

"Then what? Nothing else to say?"

Cen Dongsheng said.

"Aren't you going to explain what's going on outside?"

Zhang Shidao smiled but said nothing.

"This person is really dishonest."

An Zhizhen said softly.

"I guess it's not that he doesn't want to explain, but that he doesn't feel like talking. So..."

"Dongsheng."

The woman's voice sounded in his heart, and Cen Dongsheng quickly understood what he meant.

"I see."

The young man raised his fist without saying a word.

When he was just reborn, he was hesitant about whether to approach the Philosopher King, whom he knew well. If he met a curse master of Zhang Shidao's level, his first thought would definitely be to stay away from him as much as possible - just like when he first saw Sister Qingyan;
However, the man now can throw this punch without hesitation.

The reason why he is so domineering and reckless is because there is a powerful... woman standing behind him.

If his elder sister is not enough, he can always call another one in time.

He swung his fist and hit Zhang Shidao in the face.

What was broken was not flesh and bones, but shattered into colorful spots of light like a clay doll. The man disappeared on the spot like a dream bubble.

This scene instantly attracted everyone's attention.

After the people in the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly reacted, they were shocked and angry. Just as they were about to rush up to do something, they were pinned to the ground by the others around them.

"so……"

Cen Dongsheng looked at the empty chair and said to his elder sister:

"Is this some kind of clone ability? And it has a special effect of blocking perception. I didn't see it at first."

The ground beneath my feet began to tilt, and the rumbling sound coming from the distance was like a rolling wave hitting the city on the shore.

Sometimes the sky was filled with golden light, sometimes with raging thunder; sometimes countless bulges appeared on the ground, sometimes they were uprooted. Most of the area had collapsed into an abyss, and the Shanyin Ghost Market was on the edge of the cliff, crumbling.

The conference room is located in the core area of ​​the city and has not been affected yet, but it is only a matter of time.

Cen Dongsheng withdrew his gaze from afar.

The only person who could cause such a commotion could be a special-class spell-binding master; since Sister Zhizhen and Sister Qingyan did not take action, the only ones left were Zhang Shidao and the Dragon Slayer.

He was just wondering whether the two were conspiring together, but when he came to his senses, he found that the two had turned against each other and started fighting.

"Although a bad situation was avoided, this development is still mysterious."

Cen Dongsheng sighed.

With his brain, he couldn't understand what these people were thinking.

It was too difficult to judge their plans from the clues. He was not the kind of wise man who could think carefully and plan thousands of miles away. However...

Although he was not, there was someone present who was known for his shrewdness and foresight.

"Sister Zhizhen, my spiritual perception is not strong, and I didn't find Zhang Shidao's true form. Didn't you notice it?"

“Well, I noticed it earlier than you, but I definitely didn’t at the beginning,” the woman replied calmly.

"...Hehe, this is the first time I see you miscalculate, sister."

Cen Dongsheng couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The elder sister glanced at him, not sure whether she was angry or amused by his childish behavior.

"When you meet an opponent of the same level, it is easy to misjudge the opponent's ability if you don't know his ability."

She admitted.

"For example, when I went to war with Sister Qingyan, I was mentally prepared for the possibility of death before I went. Of course, this was related to her extremely dangerous personality and abilities."

In other words, the Dragon Slayer and Zhang Shidao are relatively less "dangerous", right?

Cen Dongsheng was filled with emotion. He looked at the earth-shaking scene outside. Although he could more or less tell that someone was deliberately trying to show off in front of others, he still felt a little nostalgic when he witnessed the destructive power of the special-class curse master once again.

Every new spell master would be unable to resist searching for public records of the top warriors fighting each other, and would be amazed at the fact that a mere human being could possess such earth-shaking power. The respect and fear for the "highest spell" had been deeply engraved in their souls.
Ordinary people who had caused trouble several times during the first two waves had to get used to the rule of the curse masters.

...Come to think of it, the person who did this in the previous life was the Dragon Slayer.

Of course, not every special curse master is good at large-scale destruction. The Dragon Slayer and Zhang Shidao are among the best.

Cen Dongsheng felt that the power of the "Tiger Roar" he released was already great, but in terms of the destructive power to the environment, he might have to throw hundreds or even thousands of punches at the same time to catch up with them.

"So, what should we do now? Continue to be a bystander?"

The man folded his arms and sat down next to the woman.
"Zhang Shidao and the Dragon Slayer started fighting for no apparent reason. It seems we have nothing to do with this."

"Their dispute may be related to a secret. Zhang Shidao and the Dragon Slayer had contact before, but we arrived too late. We could only watch the two of them fighting and knew nothing about the reason behind it."

"That's right. Then all we have to do is wait and see if there is a suitable opportunity for us to intervene."

……

The crowd gathered in the conference room was completely evacuated.

The curse masters of the Super Working Committee left under An Zhizhen's arrangement, and the remaining curse masters from the Ghost Market were mostly given shelter according to their personal wishes. Even the people from the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly were captured and taken away, which could be considered a kind of protection.

Cen Dongsheng and An Zhizhen stayed here, in the special seats, to watch the short but fierce battle between the two special spell masters.

A few minutes later, the man observed the vigorous battle in the distance and saw some of the tricks. At the same time, he recalled Zhang Shidao's performance. Apart from the two sisters, the other party was the "ancestor" he had most frequent contact with in his life.

"This man's behavior is interesting... I think he started the fight partly to let the curse masters from all over the country see it, so he chose the ghost market? And, although there was a big fight, he controlled it to a level that would not be noticed by ordinary people in the city above ground."

In sharp contrast, the dragon slayer on the opposite side really didn't care. The giant's high-pressure water jet directly pierced through hundreds of meters of the ground. It was estimated that the Sanin City above was already in chaos at this moment.

Zhang Shidao naturally had no way of knowing the "two-step" plan proposed by his elder sister, but as a ruler, he seemed to have a similar judgment.

An Zhizhen nodded in agreement.

Then, Cen Dongsheng remembered something else.

He was not worried about his sister's safety, but he still wanted to remind his two teammates that it would be better for them to stay with him just in case.

The battle between the two special classes was shocking, but the aftermath could not hurt them with the Class A forbidden items and curses protecting them, unless they were dragged into the center of the battlefield.

Their luck wasn't that bad. They just needed to be a little more discerning and stay away from the center of the war...

But soon after, Cen Dongsheng found that he could not contact Senior Sister Jiang.

Now that the coverage of the Sky Ear has expanded to the point where it can cover one-third of the ghost market, could it be that the two of them have left on their own? Didn't they inform me before leaving...

The situation on the battlefield developed too quickly and the entire underground space began to collapse. Cen Dongsheng, who had originally thought that the two men had sufficient self-protection capabilities, began to lose confidence again.

Then he saw the white light rising slowly from the other side of the horizon.

“It’s a big commotion.”

No one can tell what will happen next.

"Sister Zhizhen."

The man stood up.

"Ok?"

"I'm going to find someone now."

*
"Wow……"

Jiang Yunmei and Song Yutang stayed in the corner. At the same time, six jade plates lingered around the girls, forming a circle of light around them.

The earth was shaking outside, but everything was safe inside. Even though there was an abyss under their feet, the Lianshan Liuyaojian still held up the two of them steadily.

"That's amazing. I'm so envious."

Not every special-class spell-binding master’s fight is so earth-shattering; but if one wants ordinary spell-binding masters to see the difference between them, the most direct method is to make a hole in the ground to see which one is deeper.

"The face in the sky was created by Zhang Shidao. He was the one who blocked my spiritual sense just now. This battle also seemed to be caused by him on purpose."

Jiang Yunmei looked towards the abyss again, paying attention to the figure of the old man, but he had been silent for some time since he stepped into the formation.

"We won't be hurt by this. As long as we don't get caught in the center of the collision, there will be no problem. But..."

Before long, they witnessed up close the scene of a giant holding a magma whip and shooting down a plasma ball that fell from the sky. The brilliant white light that flashed during the high-energy collision engulfed the entire world.

Jiang Yunmei's heart was pounding. Seeing this grand battle scene up close was more exciting than watching any blockbuster movie.

The whistling strong shock wave destroyed everything, and the lava residue emitting scorching temperature fell on the aperture one after another...but this level was still not enough to break the protection of the Class A forbidden object.

She had already begun to think about how to describe everything she had just done to Teacher Cen when she met him later.

Until the girl who had been silent the whole time, her junior, grabbed her shoulders.

"We've been discovered," she said.
