Xuanxia

Chapter 689 Backlash
A momentary flash of thought lasts only a moment.

The red light stung Fu Qingzhou's eyes, and he raised his right hand to cover his face - people are like this, even if they are about to die, they will subconsciously make themselves more comfortable.

But after this moment, he did not wait for death, but heard a loud noise coming from the sweep!

For some reason, the red light shifted at the moment it was about to burn him to ashes.

It avoided Fu Qingzhou and hit the cliff behind him. With a loud bang, the cliff collapsed instantly, and huge rocks fell and dust flew.

Fu Qingzhou was shocked. Before he could react, he felt a sharp pain in the palm of his right hand!
He lowered his head and saw the curse mark on the palm of his hand flickering faintly, and there seemed to be a black light shining through. The black light was like needles and cotton, faintly piercing into the flesh, and it actually caused the muscles in his palm to contract.

"The Smoker... The Dark Spring, the Styx, the monster in the Styx..."

Fu Qingzhou realized something and suddenly raised his head and looked at the giant in front of him.

At this time, the red light in the giant's eyes had gone out, and its bloodshot eye became somewhat hesitant.

"Yes……"

It made a dull and puzzled sound: "Cang...?"

Cang.

Before the Smoker's consciousness sank, he mentioned his own name and also said the word "Cang". Fu Qingzhou remembered it very clearly.

"You know Old Ghost!"

His eyes fixed: "You know..."

He was halfway through his words when the curse mark on his right hand started to hurt again!

Then, the curse mark actually cracked.

Fu Qingzhou's eyes widened as he watched a large crack slowly appear on his palm, and then... a puff of black smoke floated out from it.

"Old ghost?!"

he shouted in surprise.

But, this is not a smoker.

The black smoke did not give him any response, nor did it seem to have any life. It just floated into the air and then condensed into two lines of twisted large characters in the air.

"Those who break their oaths and promises and act rashly towards the Lord of Hell are dark clouds."

"That person will be stripped of his possessions by the Styx, and his soul will sink into the underworld, and will be reincarnated for hundreds of lifetimes, with no end in sight."

After the two lines of large characters took shape, they began to float towards the giant.

"no no!"

Seeing those two lines of big words, the giant was clearly panicked, and even the voice from under the helmet sped up: "I have been guarding the end of the Styx for nearly a thousand years, but I never expected to encounter such an unfortunate situation!"

But the big words formed by black smoke would not listen to its explanation.

Seeing those big words getting closer, the giant finally couldn't hold it anymore and started to turn around and run away.

All the tentacles that were entangled with Fu Qingzhou were retracted and returned to where they should go.

However, Black Smoke had no intention of letting it go.

The moment the giant turned around and prepared to escape, wisps of thin smoke came out from the big words and floated towards him.

Although they were said to be floating, they were actually moving very fast and in the blink of an eye they had already wrapped around the giant's limbs.

The giant's body was so huge and the oppressive feeling was something Fu Qingzhou had never seen in his life. But after being entangled by the light and intangible smoke, it seemed to lose its strength all of a sudden and knelt down on the ground with a bang!
A terrible tremor spread out at the bottom of the tiankeng, splashing water everywhere. The surrounding evil spirits became even more frightened, and all of them huddled in the corners of the cliff or climbed up to the top of the cliff.

"The Lord of the Underworld?"

At this time, Fu Qingzhou had been loosened by the tentacles and fell to the ground.

He gasped weakly, and before he could get over his relief at surviving the disaster, his eyes were already deeply attracted by the two lines of large characters.

"Lord of the Underworld? Breaking your oath?"

He thought of something and muttered, "So, this giant called Dark Cloud... has a contract with Old Ghost? Yes, Old Ghost said that when he was alive, he was no weaker than Long Dabei. If he was in the Styx Valley, even if he wasn't the head, he should be a deputy head, a great elder, or something like that. It's not surprising that he has a younger brother."

"It left a curse mark on my hand, and the soul is hidden in it..."

Fu Qingzhou lowered his head and looked at his right hand again.

At this time, the curse marks had closed again, and they were no different from before and no longer painful.

"The giant Wuyun attacked me, and I blocked it with my right hand. It was like attacking the Smoker... attacking its own master, so it was backfired by the contract?" Fu Qingzhou laughed: "Then it is indeed a bit miserable."

However, if it is not miserable, I will be the one who is miserable.

He collected his thoughts and looked at the giant being chased and entangled by the black words.

Those big characters formed from black smoke were like messengers from the underworld, carrying irresistible majesty and judgment. They were like sharp chisels, carving the end of fate on the giant's huge body.

Big characters began to deprive the giant of his power inch by inch!
Those tentacles that were once as rampant as countless giant pythons were now like dead branches that had lost their lives in the autumn. They quickly shriveled and curled up, and the luster on the surface faded instantly. Finally, they broke with a series of snapping sounds, turned into wisps of light dust, and drifted away without a trace.

Immediately afterwards, cracks quickly appeared on the majestic and terrifying black armor on the giant.

Gray smoke continued to overflow from the gaps in the armor, carrying a strong smell of decay; then within a few breaths, the armor began to peel off piece by piece like a weathered stone wall.

The most obvious sign of its fate is the pupil.

The pupil that was flashing with blood-red light in the shadow of the helmet had now lost its luster, like an extinguished candle, unable to even illuminate its fear and despair.

However, the large characters formed by the black smoke continued to expand and became clearer, and finally turned into substantial stone characters, floating in the air, emitting a faint light, and slowly flew towards the giant.

As the big words got closer, the giant's body began to tremble violently, as if suffering from unspeakable pain.

Finally, its knees gave way and its huge body fell to the ground with a thud, stirring up dust and gravel. But its struggle did not stop there, it tried to support its body with its withered tentacles, but it only caused more dust and armor fragments to fall.

Finally, with a loud roar, the huge giant collapsed like a thousand-year-old tree after swaying in the wind and rain for a long time.

The moment its body touched the ground, it seemed to lose all support and strength, and turned into countless ashes that drifted away with the wind.

And those big characters were firmly placed where it fell, like an eternal tombstone, recording the fate of this oath-breaker.

"Oh my God……"

Fu Qingzhou was completely stunned.

The power of this giant has exceeded his imagination.

And it is just the smoker's little brother?

Is it true that the Smoker is only at the third level of Xuanxing?

Or is it that the three realms of Xuanxing... are actually much more powerful than I imagined?
Yes, Long Dabei and Ning Baimei were both seriously injured at that time. According to what Yan Gui said at that time, they might not even have exerted one tenth of their abilities.

No wonder Ning Baimei, the only person in the world who has reached the third level of Xuanxing, would become the best in the world.

No wonder the deceased Xuanxing Sanjing and Long Dabei dared to claim to be invincible.

Fu Qingzhou smiled weakly.

"Old ghost...you saved me again."

He clenched his right hand into a fist and took a long breath.

But the next second, he was shaken by the violent tremor and almost lost his balance.

Fu Qingzhou took a closer look and his blood almost froze.

After the giant fell, the monsters that were frightened by it and hid in the corner began to jump down from the cliff and approach this side!

"..."

Fu Qingzhou turned around.

Not far behind him was also a cliff.

There were also countless monsters on the wall. They were no longer frightened at this time. They were filled with murderous intent again and began to crawl towards him.

"Oh no?"

Fu Qingzhou couldn't hold it any longer, he raised his right hand and shook it towards them, but these evil spirits were not affected at all and still approached little by little.

"No, old ghost, why is your curse mark only effective against bosses? It has no effect on these elite monsters?"

"My vassal's vassal is not my vassal, right?"

"Master Lin! Hua Xiaolan! Why haven't you finished your work yet? I'm going to die——"

Fu Qingzhou’s screams echoed at the bottom of the deserted tiankeng.
