The King of Curses

Chapter 217 A Different Hug
The monster in the dark night roared from time to time. Its essence was the coffin that Jiang Qi carefully made for himself. After being awakened, Shan's movements changed from slow to agile, and he was engaged in a stalemate with the male curse master flying in the sky.

The ground was shaking. The originally hard rock was flowing like unsolidified cement, from one end to the other, filling the gap made by the curse master. Objects growing above were falling down in accordance with the law of gravity. Everywhere you looked, the rocks were broken, the grass and trees were falling, and everything was heading towards collapse and destruction...

Song Yutang and Jiang Yunmei could no longer stand on the ground as they did before, but at least they had a fairy spell master with them so they wouldn't really fall down.

Just now...

Song Yutang hugged Jiang Yunmei from behind and put her outside the cliff like a child, with her feet dangling in the air, looking like he was planning to kill her.

"Senior, I'm going to let you go right now."

Her tone was very gentle.

“…Do we really have to stay here?”

Jiang Yunmei looked at the howling wind and the endless darkness below, her pretty face stiff.

"Why are you so timid all of a sudden, Senior? You were so brave just now."

"I'm not as strong and capable as you guys. My body is very fragile. It would be easier if I had someone to protect me..."

"Don't worry, Master will catch you after you jump down."

"Oh... okay."

The mountain of coffins under her feet was still shaking, the situation was precarious, and the view under her feet was sometimes far and sometimes near, which was very exciting; she felt that a short pain was better than a long one.

Jiang Yunmei recalled the experience of lying on Song's back and being carried to the top of the mountain by her. The process was like the exciting rides in an amusement park, so it was not completely unbearable.

"Then I'll let you go?"

"Hurry up."

She complained unhappily.

"It's embarrassing for you to hold me like this..."

Before she finished her words, her teammates behind her let go, and the girl's complaints turned into screams, a faint sound in the empty valley that continued to respond.

……

In the beginning there was darkness.

After being thrown down, the scenery in the field of vision quickly swept upwards, the faint light disappeared in the field of vision, and the surroundings seemed to be a chaotic black before the creation of the world, and it was pitch dark.

The only sound left in my ears was the whistling wind.

During the fall, Jiang Yunmei's heart gradually calmed down, and she even had the leisure to think about all sorts of things.

She believed that someone would catch her below.

Besides, it is too late to regret now, and the girl can only pin all her hopes on others.

This is not anyone's fault, it was her own decision.

"What an exciting night! This is my first mission and it looks like it's coming to an end..."

Ten or even dozens of years later, the memory of this night might still surface in her mind.

"After all, it's the first time."

The first time always makes the most impression.

"It's a fantasy adventure that I could never have imagined in the past. It's more exciting than any game... or too exciting."

A chaotic stream of thoughts flashed through her mind, and the man's voice coming from below caught Jiang Yunmei's attention.

"I'm right here... I see you!"

……

Cen Dongsheng soared into the sky with the help of his wind-controlling ability. The air flow surged behind his shoulders, like a pair of invisible wings spreading out, making it easier to control the direction of flight.

He opened his eyes and looked up, and soon saw a figure falling at a rapid speed.

"Hold me tight!"

The girl's voice sounded in Cen Dongsheng's ears.

"of course."

He responded with a smile.

……

One flew upwards, the other fell downwards, and they soon converged at the same intersection.

The girl subconsciously closed her eyes, but she felt the wind around her suddenly change from sharp to soft, as if she was sinking into a sponge bed...

Cen Dongsheng manipulated his supernatural powers with precision, carefully adjusting the strength of the airflow and removing the gravitational potential energy that fell from the sky. The blowing wind was like a pair of gentle big hands, holding both the man and woman in his palms.

He opened his arms, held Jiang Yunmei in his arms, and then flew upwards.

"Caught you."

"……Um."

Jiang Yunmei opened her eyes.

Cen Dongsheng carefully opened the wind barrier to prevent the cold air from invading the two of them; so she felt more than just a sense of security. In this man's arms, she could even feel a little comfortable...

The atmosphere became a little subtle. As if to break the silence, the man asked as he flew:
"This is your first mission, how does it feel?"

I don’t know if this can be considered as telepathy, but the question that Cen Dongsheng asked at this moment was exactly what she had just thought of.

"What do you mean?"

"Whether you feel uncomfortable, for example, you feel that the mission is too dangerous, you are afraid, and you don't dare to come next time."

"…If I really back out, will Teacher Cen let me go?"

Jiang Yunmei laughed.

"It may be a bit narcissistic to say this, but I always feel that Teacher Cen seems to be full of expectations for my future and has more confidence than myself... I am quite important to you, right?"

"It is important, but a forced melon is not sweet. If you don't want to, I will definitely not force you."

"It's just a joke." Jiang Yunmei replied, "Although I'm not as passionate about battles and challenges as Schoolmate Song, I think that being a curse master is my most important identity. I'm lucky to have met you."

"I am gradually beginning to foresee what the future will be like."

The girl sighed softly.

“Some things cannot be solved by escaping, even if the road ahead is difficult...but rather than living in ignorance, I would rather choose painful clarity.”

……

The wind was blowing hard, and Cen Dongsheng, holding Jiang Yunmei, broke through the clouds and arrived above the haunted house.

There are no stars or moon in the sky, just like the dark side of the universe.

He paused for a moment, adjusted his posture, and stared at the giant coffin mountain below.

"The final battle is coming. I'll need to use both hands later, otherwise..."

"You carry me on your back."

This time it was Jiang Yunmei who took the initiative to bring it up. In order not to affect Cen Dongsheng's punch, and at the same time to ensure that the movement of Jiang Qi's body inside the mountain could be observed at the first time, the two could only stick together temporarily.

She held the man's neck with both hands, her chest pressed against his shoulders, and her legs clamped around his waist to hold him in place.

“…Okay, that’s it.”

Although it was the same posture as Song Xuemei, theoretically she should have been used to it, but Jiang Yunmei's sense of shame did not weaken at all. Because it was the opposite sex, some aspects became even more "intense".

Originally she just felt that the posture was a bit strange, as she felt like a child when being carried on someone else's back; but now, their skins were touching, and even through the clothes she could feel the man's solid muscles beneath her, and the full heat brought by his vigorous blood.

I think Teacher Cen felt the same way and really cared about what the other person thought... Once she thought about it, the girl felt more and more ashamed and her face turned red unconsciously.

Bah, what are you doing crazy!
Jiang Yunmei cursed herself inwardly.

Now is the critical moment of the final battle, how can we think about anything else?
Look at Teacher Cen, he has a completely unshakable expression.

She secretly glanced at the man's expression and saw that his face was solemn and serious, with cold and hard lines like those carved by a knife or an axe. There was no sign of any wandering imagination; he was concentrating and focusing completely on the battle that was about to break out.

Such willpower is really enviable and admirable...

……

So, is Cen Dongsheng really as calm as Jiang Yunmei thinks?
The answer is obviously impossible.

He did not have any intimate relationship with the two female teammates and had no plans to develop any relationship, so even if they had contact occasionally, it would only be a brief encounter.

But perhaps it is precisely because it is a fleeting glimpse that one can appreciate its unforgettable beauty.

If the apprentice's body reminds people of wild bodybuilding and elastic skin, then Jiang Yunmei's body is soft and fluffy, which is another type of wonderful touch.

I can’t imagine how comfortable it is to hug her… Wow, it feels so good to hold her against the back of my head… You can’t see it at all with clothes on, the size of her breasts is amazing…

The young man's mind was filled with obscene thoughts that he couldn't tell anyone.

He is just thick-skinned, but others can't see it.

It is human nature to have wild thoughts, and we should not feel morally burdened by those fantasies that have never been put into action.

……

Men and women have their own thoughts, but the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing and opportunities are likely to be fleeting.

After observing for a while, Cen Dong said.

"Get ready to start."

"Ah."

Jiang Yunmei finally calmed down and put the physical feelings behind her.

The evil wind howled and the storm in the sky became more violent. It seemed that Jiang Qi had also noticed this side. Cen Dongsheng had not taken action for some time. The ghosts knew that the curse masters must be looking for an opportunity to win and tried to use the environment in the haunted house to interfere.

But no matter what means were used, they were all blocked by Cen Dongsheng's true energy and wind-controlling ability.

"I've heard 'it'... It's moving flexibly inside the mountain, and doesn't want to be locked by me..."

She used her "clairaudience" to capture the position of Jiang Qi's body, and at the same time confirmed the depth by changing the distance between the positions.

While Cen Dongsheng was waiting for Jiang Yunmei's answer, he felt a little emotional.

In fact, according to his expectations of "Miaoshenzi", if this person really wants to show his unique skills, he must at least wait until he awakens his "clairvoyance".

"Eyes" are naturally able to receive more extensive and richer information than "ears". The clairvoyance can see through illusions and see through weaknesses, and is truly omnipotent. At that time, Jiang Yunmei will demonstrate far greater value than ordinary ghost fairy-type spell ban masters in intelligence gathering and combat assistance;
In comparison, the advantage of Tianertong lies in its all-weather surveillance range and distant sound details, which makes it more like a supplement to the former.

But even in this situation, Jiang Yunmei, unwilling to be left behind, developed a brand new use, just like the blind people whose vision is damaged and their other sensory functions are compensated for in order to adapt to survival -

The current "clairaudience" can, to a certain extent, replace the supernatural powers that have not yet awakened.

Cen Dongsheng's judgment of Jiang Yunmei was correct. She was the type of person who would continue to become stronger under self-pressure and sense of responsibility. He had already begun to look forward to the future development of this "Wonderful Son of God".

"…The location has been determined, Teacher Cen, let's start!"

"clear."

The man gathered his thoughts and responded in a deep voice.

Following the guidance of the voice in his ear, Cen Dongsheng exerted the limit of his wind-controlling ability, manipulating the airflow, changing the direction of movement, and flexibly tracking the invisible target.

"Descend, descend about fifty meters, it's at the eight o'clock direction, it's right there!"

"Ascend, east...ten o'clock!"

"Almost...almost catching up!"

Jiang Qi's real body swam throughout the mountain of coffins, as agile as a fish.

A corpse moving around in a coffin as huge as a mountain... It is indeed an amazing idea. It is difficult for ordinary people to even notice it, let alone pull it out.

But with the two of them working in perfect harmony, Jiang Qi's range of movement became visibly smaller and smaller...

"It's right there, Teacher Cen, punch quickly..."

"Tiger roars!"

Before Jiang Yunmei finished speaking, Cen Dongsheng had already taken decisive action.

The shadow fell, and the shock wave brought by the strong wind had incredible destructive power. It created circles of white shock waves in the air like ripples, forming a huge air column that penetrated the night and tore a big hole in the mountain.

——At this moment, Cen Dongsheng could already capture "that thing" with his naked eyes.

They all saw a shadow surrounded by strong Yin energy jumping out of the cave and shooting straight to the opposite side.

The mountain wall in front moved with a rumbling sound, automatically clearing the entrance to the cave.

It planned to jump from the destroyed hole to the hole on the opposite side, and then hide in the mountain again.

Cen Dongsheng had just used Tiger Roar and was unable to use subsequent destructive moves. His wind control ability was also lifted, so he simply used gravity to fall towards the mountain.

But the black shadow's movement speed was obviously faster, and it seemed that this long cat-and-mouse game would continue -

……

At this critical moment that determines victory or defeat, dazzling lightning once again blooms in the night.

Although it was the cooperation of Cen Dongsheng and Jiang Yunmei, and Song Yutang seemed useless for the time being, the girl did not stand idly by. Instead, she tried her best to follow her teammates who were soaring in the night sky. With her amazing athletic ability, she moved back and forth between the mountains and gradually caught up with their pace.

While the two sides were chasing each other in the air, Song Yutang was chasing closely from behind, creating that opportunity for the man.

The lightning that fell from the sky like a falling star hit the thin and blurry black shadow, weakening the Yin Qi around it and stagnating its movement for several breaths;
At the same time, this ray of light pointed out the location of the target for Cen Dongsheng.

After taking advantage of the momentum to land on the mountain, he stood firmly on his feet and immediately raised his other hand that could still move.

“Teacher Cen…!”

"Well, I see it."

While answering, the man spread his feet apart, took a step forward with his left foot, slightly raised his right heel, slightly bent his knees, and assumed the most standard punching posture;
The thick finger bones were clenched, and the sharp gale was tightly grasped in the hand. The explosive power was repeatedly compressed and merged into a surging wave.

He pushed off the ground, turned his hips and shoulders, and threw this final punch towards the star-like light in the distance.

"Tiger roars!"
