The King of Curses

Chapter 271: Almost Regret for Life

A few minutes ago, when Song Yutang was lurking carefully among thousands of thunders with the posture of lightning, the man's steady voice sounded in his ears.

"let me help you."

The girl was stunned for a moment and almost failed. Fortunately, before that, Cen Dongsheng reminded her:
"Don't worry, just be patient. You're doing well now, no one has discovered you."

"Master...!"

Song Yutang's gratitude and joy were beyond words.

She was already very happy just to hear his voice again, as if she had taken a reassurance pill.

Unexpectedly, the master did not blame her for taking risks at all. Instead, he praised and encouraged her and said he would help her...

However, Song Yutang herself knew best that her behavior was reckless and dangerous, and its nature had not changed; it was just that her master could not give up on her, so he just let things take their course.

"Master, thank you. What should we do next?"

"Just follow your original idea."

"'Original idea'..."

Song Yutang looked at the strange visions and white lights flying all over the sky and swallowed nervously.

"You want to snatch the Kunwu Sword, right? Then follow your idea." Cen Dongsheng explained, "The important thing is how you can escape from the battlefield of the special curse masters after you get the sword."

"...I have mastered 'Full Body Elementalization', so if we only talk about speed..."

Although she said this, Song Yutang's tone did not sound very confident.

The girl now has complete control over her life ban. The Dragon Slayer's "Mountain and River Bone Form" can blend into nature and transform into all things, while her "Heavenly Thunder" specializes in thunder and lightning. One is a special-grade curse ban, and the other is a first-grade life ban. It seems normal to have such a gap -

But Cen Dongsheng understood that the key distinction here was not the nature, but the huge gap in the energy levels between the two people.

"So can you really move at the speed of 'lightning'?"

"……Well."

Song Yutang's voice became weaker and weaker.

"I don't know, but probably... it's not possible."

Lightning is a discharge phenomenon, and its speed is affected by many factors such as conductivity. It occurs between clouds and the ground, and its speed varies in different stages of travel. It can be divided into two processes: the "leading process" and the "returning process". The speed of the latter is much faster than the former, reaching one tenth to one third of the speed of light.

This is already an incredible speed. Maybe there is a chance to escape the capture of the special spell-binding master... But this is only in theory.

Cen Dongsheng had already guessed the answer. Even if "Tianlei Wuwang" had this potential, the amount of true Qi of a first-class spell master would not be enough to realize it.

The Dragon Slayer believes that the real standard for distinguishing special-class spell-binding masters from ordinary spell-binding masters is the difference in the amount of true Qi. Although this view is not completely correct, it is not far off.

For example, the most mysterious and powerful type of spell, the "manipulation of time and space" spell, can actually be seen in Class A cases, but it is often only in the hands of a special-class spell master that its unpredictable power can be exerted.

Suppose that a special-grade spell and an A-grade spell both have the effect of "reversing time", but with the amount of true Qi of an A-grade spell master, he may only be able to interfere with the time and space phenomena within the area, and the length of time does not exceed one second, and can only be barely used in combat; if it is replaced by a special-grade spell master, he can go back dozens of hours at a time, which is of immeasurable value.

If Song Yutang could really move at lightning speed, it would be enough to make her the fastest life in the material world, far exceeding the reaction speed of the spell-binding master - after all, the speed of light above that involves the impact on the structure of space and time, and it cannot be achieved simply by using natural elements.

But now it seems...

"It's not that simple."

He sighed.

"Besides, Zhang Shidao and the Dragon Slayer both have the power to interfere with nature and can block your actions."

This move is ineffective against Yi Qingyan, but it is a sure kill for Song Yutang.

Taking the ability of "reversing time" as an example, a special-class curse-master is large enough to overthrow cities and countries, but he may not be able to reverse time for his "kind" - once the opponent is a behemoth, it will be difficult to interfere.

Song Yutang was silent.

"So, what should I do...?"

"You can't escape alone, but it will be different with me. Once you get the sword, run as fast as you can. I will support you."

"……I see."

Song Yutang's eyes were always fixed on the Kunwu sword.

It was manipulated to float back and forth, and was soon caught by an illusory figure wrapped in light. The next second, it was knocked away by the dragon slayer.

The dragon slayer occasionally transformed into a storm and lightning to approach, but would soon be recognized by the opponent and had to retreat back to his original form. This scene frightened Song Yutang;

Not far away, the master's sister continuously released her abilities towards the point where the sword landed. The nearby space was covered with a grid-like space-slashing wave, and anyone who approached would be chopped into pieces.

That was the center of the battle, and the scene was extremely intense. It seemed that the Dragon Slayer, who was besieged by the two men, was at a disadvantage, but he had his own support: the Kunwu Sword was surrounded by chains, which was the Dragon Suppression Formation in operation, and the control of the operation of this formation was still in his hands.

"Speaking of which, Master..." Song Yutang said, "it turns out that your sister is a special-class spell master."

"Yes."

"Should I say hello to her?"

"You don't have to worry about other people's business."

Cen Dongsheng replied with a smile.

"In addition to her, I also hired another helper."

"Is it Miss An?"

"Yes, you should feel relieved with the support of two special-class spell-forbidden masters. Just go for it boldly."

……

Not long after, the opportunity Song Yutang had been waiting for finally came.
"...!"

The stalemate was broken, and the Dragon Slayer, who was gradually forced into a desperate situation, broke through the obstruction of the two and reached out to the Kunwu Sword;

Almost at the same moment, the self-will that emerged from the Kunwu Sword broke free from the constraints of the formation, slipped away from the Dragon Slayer's hand, and floated towards her.

“It really came over.”

The master didn't say anything else, probably because he didn't want to distract her.

But Song Yutang could still hear his breathing.

As a result, the girl's heart beat faster and faster uncontrollably. She tried her best to control her breathing and build up her strength, making sure not to make any mistakes at the last moment.

At this time, she had not thought that her master would save her in that way...

……

Just as Master said, the energy of heaven and earth was blocked by the special-grade spell-binding master, and the invisible air around them solidified into a sticky colloid. Even with all their efforts, they could only create a short distance.

And after getting the Kunwu Sword in her hands, its ability to almost suppress the user's internal Qi extraction was an unexpected surprise, making her situation even worse.

The waves behind her were like an avalanche and tsunami, and after a few breaths, they were about to touch her back. At that moment, Song Yutang thought she was really going to die...

At the critical moment, she was held in the man's arms, and her mood went up and down, like she was on a roller coaster.

"Master..."

Song Yutang hugged back subconsciously.

But this sense of security soon turned into deep fear.

Wait, can Master block an attack of this magnitude?
She was quite familiar with Cen Dongsheng's abilities. If they continued like this, there would be no chance for either of them to survive...

This is the fact.

She heard the man's breathing close to her. Once, twice...

The surging waves caught up with the two men.

Cen Dongsheng was shattered in front of her.

The moment he died, a stronger true energy than usual was stimulated from this body, enveloping her entire body in the rain of blood.

The exploding shock wave broke free from the cage of heaven and earth, and the Lianshan Liuyaojian that fell from the corpse surrounded her entire body, and took the opportunity to bounce the protected her away.

Song Yutang was powerless to struggle. She watched the horrifying scene quickly fade away from her sight. She suffered a huge mental shock. She subconsciously held the sword tightly in her hand and fell into the abyss together...

……

"Kick!"

Song Yutang inserted his sword into the cliff.

Her pupils were dilated and cold sweat broke out on her back.

Just now, the girl's mind was blank. After falling hundreds of meters into the abyss, she used her sword to stop her body driven by her survival instinct. It was only at this time that she barely regained the ability to think.

What happened just now?
In order to save me, Master was killed by two special curse masters?

But when he talked to me before, he was so calm and composed, and I didn't feel that he wanted to commit suicide at all...

She didn't have time to ask her master what he was going to do. She just thought that since the man said so, there must be a way. Who would have thought it would end like that?

Song Yutang was shocked and sad. Her eyes were wet and her chest felt blocked. She couldn't even cry. She just felt so depressed that she was almost suffocated.

Just as he was about to reach the stage of "regret for the rest of his life", Cen Dongsheng's resurrection process began.

Cen Dongsheng himself had no bad intention to scare his apprentice on purpose. He just felt that compared to letting others do it, his chances of success would be higher if he blew himself up unexpectedly, which would make it easier for the trump cards who could really decide the situation - Yi Qingyan and An Zhizhen - to take action next.

It only took him a blink of an eye to lose consciousness. After his body was shattered, he once again experienced the familiar feeling of "soul shedding its shell", and then anchored his consciousness on the Lianshan Liu Yao Jian.

The last time, he was decomposed into invisible particles by Sister Qingyan's Space Slash; although he was crushed to ashes this time, the degree of destruction was lower - at least it rose from the microscopic realm to the level visible to the naked eye.

...this distinction is meaningless.

Cen Dongsheng's body was recovering out of thin air. Seeing this scene, Song Yutang couldn't help but widen his eyes, surprised and happy.

"You...you...Master..."

Seeing her red eyes, he realized that he had not told her in advance that she could be resurrected, which was a severe test for the girl's psychology.

Fortunately, nothing happened in the end, the sword was obtained, and they both escaped successfully.

What happens next - Cen Dongsheng looked up into the sky, just in time to see the familiar white light expanding, turning everything in sight into a blank scene - will be left to the two true special-class spell-ban masters.

"I'm so scared, so scared, it's really..."

Song Yutang resisted the urge to cry and punched his bare chest hard.

This was probably the first time she behaved so disrespectfully and rudely towards her master.

……

After finally calming down, Song Yutang let out a sigh of relief.

"Master, the sword..."

She was about to hand over the spoils to him, but was stopped by the man.

"You got it."

He patted the girl's hand.

"Eh?"

"Didn't you fight for yourself?"

Cen Dongsheng said with a smile.

"If I'm the only one left..."

She smiled bitterly.

Song Yutang didn't have the ability to survive after being crushed into powder. Without her master's protection, she would have been dead without even ashes left.

Also, even if she could escape for a while, facing the pursuit of two special-class curse masters, she would have no chance of survival.

The reason why I am fine now is because of my master's connections. He has a close relationship with two female special-class spell-forbidden masters, which makes them willing to help...

This kind of emotional connection with top powerhouses is more powerful than the ability to resurrect from the dead.

"...I have always wanted to keep up with you and Senior Jiang, but I know in my heart that I may not have the talent..."

"Now that you have it, keep the Kunwu Sword safe."

Cen Dongsheng comforted in a gentle tone.

"We will be able to leave this place soon, and leave the rest to others."

"Ah... um."

Song Yutang wanted to say something, but at a certain moment, when her gaze unconsciously moved downward, her pretty face suddenly turned red and became hesitant.

"That, that..."

Seeing her reaction, Cen Dongsheng felt strange at first. But it was not the first time for him to "come back from the dead", and thinking about the last experience, he immediately realized the problem after they calmed down.

The scope of rebirth brought by the "immortality" ability does not include the cloth on the body.

"Ah, I have no clothes on now."

As Cen Dongsheng spoke, he raised his hand to cover his apprentice's eyes.

"Yes, yes..."

Song Yutang behaved very obediently, but the blush on her rosy cheeks never faded away, and her crystal-clear earlobes were completely red.

"let's go."

"Okay, okay... We can't let Master run around naked all the time..."

There are some things you don't have to say.

Cen Dongsheng complained in his heart.

He felt that there was something strange about covering the girl's eyes with his hands and only showing half of her face, so he put it down.

Anyway, just now, his whole body has been seen...

*
Yi Qingyan was very angry.

Although I know that my brother will be resurrected, I still feel angry when I see my loved one being killed by others.

And... seeing the brother trying so hard to save a girl, that kind of "hero saving the beauty" scene also makes people angry.

Obviously, this treasure belongs only to her, and clearly, only she has the right to kill this person...

"Damn it."

Even after she vented her anger with all her might and finally succeeded in cutting one of her opponents in half, her mood still didn't improve.

After that, when she felt the familiar yet annoying power fluctuation, the fire of ignorance burned even more vigorously.
"Will I actually join forces with... this woman An Zhizhen one day?"
