The King of Curses

Chapter 267 Big Melee

Two strands of white hair on the middle-aged man's forehead flew into the air.

His pupils, which were already sparkling without anger, now appeared pure gold, like a pool of boiling steel.

The dragon slayer raised his hand and gently scratched it with his sharp animal-like nails. A series of blood beads oozed out of the tiger's mouth, rolled back in the wind, and when they touched the sword's spine, they turned into a swimming red dragon, and sank into the blade along the dragon pattern.

The moment the dragon slayer grasped the hilt of the sword, he used the "Mountain and River Bone Structure" to blend into the surrounding nature, and felt the bones of the city trembling in his palm.

……

Kunwu, also known as "Kunwu", is the name of both the mountain and the iron in the mountain, as well as the sword forged from the iron. This is similar to the principle of dragon slayers forging swords with dragon veins, so it was named after the story of this ancient magic sword.

The moment "Kunwu" was pulled out, strange phenomena occurred in heaven and earth, as if the world was mourning the weapon condensed and twisted by these multiple dragon veins.

……

Metallic cries were heard from deep within dozens of subway tunnels in Sanin City. The tunnels, which had already experienced an earthquake, began to collapse completely. The cement on the arches peeled off, revealing the soil underneath.

On the road surface above, the deserted road twisted under the huge force, like a snake coming to life; dark golden lines wandering in the cracks of the concrete, they were converging towards the center of the underground along the steel veins.

The citizens looked on in fear and panic.

Outside the building, the flowing light on the glass curtain wall reflecting the sky was distorted into blue flames; and under the feet, the ground was shaking like the roar of an ancient bell, and the asphalt at the intersection was cracking in the violent trembling as if it was shedding its skin.

Further up is the sky.

Purple lightning burst out and split the cumulonimbus clouds covering the dome. What fell from the cracks was not rain, but countless streams of fire like bronze sword tassels.

The cyclones formed tornadoes, twisting the debris caught in them into chaos.

……

A completely destroyed underground city.

When the man pointed the tip of his sword at the sky covered by dust and haze, all the vibrations suddenly stopped.

"Oh……"

The giant face in the cloud stopped spitting out plasma balls and revealed a very vivid "amused" expression.

"Is this the weapon you used the entire 'Dragon Court' to refine?"

In an area the size of a modern city, there are generally two to three dragon veins flowing through it; while in a dragon court there may be more than a dozen or even dozens of dragon veins, accounting for more than one-third of the total number in the country.

Similar places may have appeared once or twice in this vast land over the past few decades or hundreds of years; from the perspective of feng shui, it has the potential to become the birthplace of a long-lived dynasty.

Of course, modern society doesn't care about this, and the spell masters only see the dragon veins as a simple energy source. If there are more than a dozen dragon veins integrated into one, it is indeed enough to match or even surpass the true energy of a special spell master.

...With this kind of comparison, I don’t know whether to say that the dragon vein is more valuable, or that the special curse that can fight against nature on its own is more exaggerated.

"But it's just a dead thing."

Zhang Shidao said.

"The special forbidden spell is the power that resides in us humans..."

"I'll tell you."

The Dragon Slayer spoke calmly, stating the facts he had obtained through research and comparison.

"The reason why the special forbidden spell is so powerful is that it can make the host's true energy produce a breakthrough growth. In other words, as long as you can reach this stage, all kinds of magical powers will manifest themselves."

When the dragon veins flow beneath the ground in the form of natural energy, they are just dragon veins; but when they are twisted and condensed artificially, what is born is an "energy crystal" comparable in scale to special forbidden spells. The dragon slayer uses a formation to bind this cluster of crystals to an object.

Zhang Shidao observed the sword, and electric light flickered in the huge pupils of Yun Zhong's face.

"Just to digress, when we were fighting just now, I found someone snooping here. I guess it was Advisor An's people."

"No need, I know they are the people around Cen Dongsheng."

"I'm sure you've heard of the story of 'the clams fighting, the fisherman profiting'."

"When I drew my sword, you realized your mistake?"

There was sarcasm in the dragon slayer's words.

Zhang Shidao did not show any unhappy expression. Because his mentality changed after seeing the sword, this was a fact.

The opponent's practice of extracting dragon veins and deeply destroying nature went against his beliefs. Zhang Shidao had the idea of ​​killing them all during the battle, and he also gained the upper hand in the battle;
But after the Kunwu Sword was pulled out... although it was still unclear what kind of power this object had, the mass of light condensed on the sword was enough to cause the surrounding space to produce distorted energy. Add in the Dragon Slayer himself, the situation of victory or defeat has been reversed.

Before coming, when Zhang Shidao heard that this person was planning to attack the dragon vein, the first thing he thought of was that the other party wanted to merge the dragon vein with himself.

At that time, he only regarded the Dragon Slayer as a pioneer, but did not approve of this approach. Compared with increasing the amount of true energy, finding a new special spell was obviously more appropriate.

but now……

Zhang Shidao expressed his sincere emotion.

"That's amazing, how did you do that?"

This is the third way.

Using external objects to carry a force of an extraordinary scale, the Kunwu sword can be considered a "special forbidden object".

For the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly, forbidden objects are certainly not rare, but an object that can rival the power in his body is something he has never seen with his own eyes, let alone heard of for the first time; moreover, it is an "artificial object" cast by someone else's own hands.

They all have their own ideas and guesses about the "higher level" of realm, but as steady rulers, it is understandable that they should try all the different paths before them.

For example, the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly is conducting research on the "highest-grade forbidden objects" - he guessed that the Super Working Committee must be conducting similar research - the progress of this research is extremely slow, and compared to the example of "discovering special forbidden objects from the spiritual space", so far, no one has witnessed the existence of special forbidden objects with their own eyes.

Some people believe that there will be remains in the ancient times, that is, the "last" era of spiritual energy revival, but related archaeological excavations are still in progress.

Some people also speculated that special forbidden objects did not actually exist in this world, and that this kind of power could only reside in living things...

Living.

Speaking of "living bodies", questions arose in Zhang Shidao's mind.

He witnessed the death of Lame Old Seven with his own eyes; this old man, who was under his protection and tried to challenge his senior brother and was obsessed with revenge, died silently in front of the sword.

After that, the dragon slayer was able to draw his sword, which was obviously not an accident.

However, the man who hated the Dragon Slayer so much sacrificed himself to make the sword forged? What was the logic behind this? Or was it...

"continue."

The Dragon Slayer didn't let him think any further and said calmly.

"Well, if you really want to fight..."

Even though his chances of winning had been reduced, Zhang Shidao did not intend to leave in disgrace.

"After I kill you, I'll talk about others."

The dragon slayer raised his sword high.

There was one thing he lied about. This was the first time he had ever drawn a sword. Even though he was now the master of the sword, he still didn't understand the effect of the sword.

It doesn't matter, he thought. Since the sword is the crystallization of special-grade energy compression, even if the special ability is not taken into account, it still has a suitable use. "First of all... 'amplification.'"

The power of "Mountain and River Bone Structure" was activated, and the surrounding atmosphere was sucked out in an instant, leaving only the void-like darkness.

But the result that came out of this was extremely astonishing. The abyss collapsed hundreds of meters again, and the disappeared land and rocks formed a new giant in just a breath, and a giant hand stretched out from the abyss.

The scale was larger than when he himself used the curse, and the key was the speed, which was so fast that even he was shocked.

With the help of "Kunwu", the intensity and efficiency of his use of the curse were as fast as if he was equipped with a rocket launcher.

This is why the Dragon Slayer did not choose to integrate this energy himself. He tried, but the moment he tried, he realized that its scale exceeded his own load and could only seek external objects.

The reaction of the giant face in the clouds was also quick. It opened its mouth, and a fiery light flashed in it.

Zhang Shidao used his old trick again, using ultra-low temperature and thunder to create hundreds of ball lightnings, which were all ejected. The power was extremely amazing, and nothing in the world could withstand this attack that seemed to come from an alien army.

In response, the dragon slayer simply turned the hilt of his sword.

"……'projection'."

The giant raised his hand.

The mighty force of nature, flowing water, towering mountains, whistling wind... countless noises come together and eventually form a "clang" sound.

A sharp, vigorous white light, using the arm of the mountain and river giant as a sheath, came out of the sword.

If Zhang Shidao's ability is a change that conforms to scientific laws, then "Mountain and River Bone Structure" under the blessing of "Kunwu" is more like touching the underlying laws of the world, wiping out all the plasma balls falling from the sky with pure momentum, leaving only a vast expanse of white.

"The power of nature".

Earthquakes, tsunamis, thunder, typhoons... Even in this technologically advanced age, it is still extremely difficult for humans to imitate the wrath of nature, while others are still just fantasy.

This is not because people do not understand the principle, but simply because the scale is difficult to reach.

As a special forbidden spell, "Mountain and River Bone" has touched the deepest secrets of the material world. Even for the Dragon Slayer himself, it is not easy to use it. Under normal circumstances, it is enough to just merge with "nature" and drive those superficial disasters.

But it is different with the blessing of "Kunwu". It is originally transformed from the dragon vein, and it complements this power.

The strange face in the sky was wiped out by pure power, but the dragon slayer's brow did not relax.

He had no real sense of killing his opponent.

It's impossible for a special-class spell-forbidden master to die so easily...

Suddenly——

When he was about to look for the whereabouts of his opponent, a buzzing sound came from the sword in his hand.

He hadn't moved yet, but "Kunwu" was shaking uncontrollably.

At a certain moment, the sword he forged with his own hands sprouted a new will...

*
When Cen Dongsheng arrived at the scene, he immediately found Senior Sister Jiang lying on the ground unconscious.

She was placed in a relatively back position, surrounded by the protection of the Lianshan Liuyaojian, and seemed very safe.

The problem was, he didn't see another person - his apprentice Song Yutang.

Just as the man walked over, it seemed that someone who had always been with Jiang Yunmei walked past him.

He smelled a familiar scent and felt the touch of ponytailed hair brushing against his face, but it seemed to be just an illusion.

He couldn't help but frown.

He had already used all his strength to run wildly. It should have been less than ten seconds before Jiang Yunmei fell unconscious and the communication was cut off...

Where will the people be?
Cen Dongsheng became worried.

The situation is now serious and there is no time to hesitate. He knows it is time to use his trump card.

"It's now."

Cen Dongsheng said to himself silently in his heart, and then activated the blood contract matchmaking.

The hot and burning connection was like some kind of burst of emotion. The man fully felt the bond between the brother and sister. They were always closely connected, no matter where they were...

He didn't even have time to blink before the slender figure of the girl appeared before his eyes.

She landed lightly, turned around on the spot, and stood in front of him with graceful steps.

"elder brother!"

The girl's face was filled with a happy smile.

"I'm here to see you."

"……Um."

Cen Dongsheng couldn't feel happy for a moment. He looked at the two figures confronting each other in the distance.

The abyss beneath their feet, with a diameter of more than ten kilometers, with neither the sky above nor the ground below, was the result of a head-on collision between these two special-class spell-forbidden masters, like Mars hitting the Earth.

"Want me to join? This will turn into an unprecedented melee."

Sister Qingyan, as if she saw through his thoughts, spoke in a light voice.

"By now……"

Cen Dongsheng sighed and helped Jiang Yunmei, who was lying on the ground.

……

Yi Qingyan's gaze stayed on the man.

Although he felt that the woman lying in his brother's arms was a bit annoying, the prying eyes from somewhere in the distance were even more annoying.

But the time has really come.

The corners of the girl's mouth rose slightly.

That's right, that's it.

Not only can he obey his brother's orders and help him, but he can also have the opportunity to kill the "Special Curse Master", one of the strongest people in the world...

Where in the world can you find such a good opportunity?
To be honest, she had been unhappy with the two people in the sky for a long time.

Although Yi Qingyan was not interested in the interests and so-called "paths" that the special curse masters were fighting for, her instinct and her clear and straightforward way of thinking always allowed her to accurately grasp the essence of the event:

These two people are bastards who don't care about human life, which is enough to ignite the murderous intent in her heart.

She heard her brother say to her:
"This war will define the world of curse masters for a long time to come. If you directly participate in the battle, your name will be known by countless people... Do you think that now is the best time to step onto the world stage?"

"of course."

She answered without hesitation.
