The King of Curses

Chapter 269 Betting on Life
Song Yutang felt like he was really crazy.

She actually hid in the core area where three special forbidden spell masters were fighting, trying to snatch the "treasure" they were fighting for -

She had been watching in secret, and with the reminder from Senior Sister Jiang, she saw clearly that the Dragon Slayer had been lurking for the past few years just to forge the "Kunwu", and that Zhang Shidao had come to the Shanyin Ghost Market for the same reason.

The two of them were watching closely and fought over this. How dare she, a mere first-class spell-forbidden master, take advantage of the situation...

This is not even walking a tightrope, it's simply seeking death.

What surprised Song Yutang the most was the girl who suddenly appeared.

She appeared on the battlefield with dignity. She looked frail, but possessed terrifying power to shatter space, and had a familiar face.

——The sister that Master mentioned is actually a special-class spell-forbidden master...? !

At this moment, she suddenly understood why the Master had chosen to stay with her these days; including the confidence that the Master had shown in the past and the problems that had puzzled her, all were solved.

Song Yutang couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Compared with her master who had prepared a trump card in advance, she was really impulsive and emotional.

By the way, since Master's sister and girlfriend are both special-class curse masters, the relationship between them must be very complicated. They must be unwilling to admit it to each other...

Putting this matter aside, it was impossible for Song Yutang to jump out and ask for shelter and help at this time, so the appearance of Yi Qingyan did not make the situation better, but made the scene on the battlefield even more chaotic.

In addition to the strange phenomena in the sky and earth that were running around, she also had to avoid the white light that could cut off everything without being discovered.

At a certain moment, a faint white light passed over the girl's head, cutting off part of her hair tied into a ponytail, making her feel cold in her heart.

Song Yutang's mind was full of confusion and disorder, but his behavior remained calm.

She remained calm and, with the help of No Barriers, lurked in the turbulent phenomena of heaven and earth, thrillingly dodged one magnificent aftermath after another, quietly waiting for the opportunity without revealing her true colors.

Song Yutang should have stayed away from danger, but at the critical moment, she chose the most difficult and craziest path, because deep in her heart, her desire to become stronger would not be lost to anyone.

Reason told the girl that she should not risk her life.

Her life does not belong to her alone. She has a family to take care of, as well as teammates on the same team. She cannot let her master and senior worry because of her own selfishness.

However, just as a person's beliefs can be destroyed through repeated doubts, even the strongest dam will inevitably collapse; conversely, to establish a belief that makes people willing to die, all that is needed is the accumulation of coincidences.

The world of the curse master is so cruel, and Song Yutang did not realize this clearly in the past. She now understands that in the face of talent and fate, the accumulation of time and hard work are meaningless, and only those who are on the road to "special" are qualified to stand beside those two people.

Although she acted calm in front of others and seemed to be very open-minded, she even tried to persuade Senior Jiang not to care...but what was her real thought in her heart?
The accumulated unwillingness became the basis of her mentality for allowing the adventurous mood to dominate her actions.

Then there was Senior Jiang's ability. She proved that her spell was strong enough to block the spiritual perception of the special spell master, allowing the two to move under the eyes of Zhang Shidao and the Dragon Slayer. This made Song Yutang's heart move. This was the first coincidence;
The second coincidence was that she discovered that the war between the two special-class curse masters had become intense and they had no time to deal with others.

The third coincidence became the last straw -

When the Kunwu Sword was pulled out and the world was regenerated, Song Yutang grabbed Jiang Yunmei and ran away. In desperation, she broke through the realm and achieved the "full body elementalization" that had been motionless for a long time, and finally she was able to run at the speed of lightning.

From then on, Song Yutang possessed the ability to transform into lightning. This moment symbolized that she had completely mastered her life-limited skill "Tianlei Wuwang".

This was certainly something worth celebrating. But before she could be happy, she was controlled by some impulse -

Song Yutang looked up at the sky, where thousands of thunders released by the giant face in the clouds crossed with the Dragon Slayer.

Thunder and lightning, as the most destructive celestial phenomenon, happens to be Zhang Shidao's favorite means. He releases lightning to attack his opponents all the time.

Isn't this a hint of fate?
She suddenly realized that this might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; if missed, there might not be another one in her future life.

All conditions have been prepared. Although the road ahead of her is extremely dangerous, the chips that can change her life are at the end of the road.

In that moment.

Only she can make decisions for herself.

……

Not long after Yi Qingyan joined the battlefield, the girl in Cen Dongsheng's arms slowly woke up.

Jiang Yunmei frowned and her body was tense; only after she opened her eyes and saw the man's face did she breathe a sigh of relief and relax.

"You're awake. How do you feel?"

"……fine."

The man helped her stand up. Jiang Yunmei covered her ears and smiled bitterly:

"That 'Kunwu Sword' was incredibly powerful. After it was pulled out, it not only affected the natural phenomena around it, but also interfered with my observations. I was caught off guard and got scared."

"...'Kunwu', this is the name of the forbidden object they are fighting for."

Cen Dongsheng stared at the battlefield, and just then he saw Sister Qingyan chop off the arm of the Dragon Slayer that was holding the sword...

Hiss, how cruel. He could empathize with her.

"Where's Yutang?"

The man turned his attention back to Jiang Yunmei.

Despite the question, he had actually already vaguely guessed the answer.

"She told me she wanted to take the sword away from me. I was about to faint at the time, but I was worried that she might do something wrong. I could only use my ability on her first..."

Jiang Yunmei let out a long sigh.

"I was crazy to actually agree to her request."

Thanks to her clairaudience, she heard everything clearly, including the struggle between the two special curse masters, the decades-long feud between the brothers, and the dragon slayer refining all the dragon veins in the Dragon Court into the Kunwu Sword, and now she was relaying it to him.

After listening to this, Cen Dongsheng nodded, thinking that this was the first special forbidden item to appear in the world since the "first wave", no wonder it caused a fight.

"Teacher Cen, what should we do now?"

The girl, along with him, looked up at the sky worriedly.

"I, I did think about asking her to come back, but at least she is not being noticed now. If I say something that might affect her condition... I am very worried, but I can't make up my mind..."

Jiang Yunmei regarded Cen Dongsheng as her backbone. With trembling hands, she subconsciously grabbed the man's collar, trying to get an answer from him.

In the future, she will be able to grow into a politician who is good at networking, skillfully dealing with several "ancestors" and running the Chinese Forbidden Masters Association into a national brand. Naturally, she is not lacking in courage; but at present, Senior Jiang cannot do it. She can only rely on the person she trusts most.

"You think that's your problem?"

Cen Dongsheng sighed, suddenly reached out and grabbed the girl's soft palm.

Jiang Yunmei was startled, and her slender white fingers curled up. At this time, she didn't care about being shy, and she also knew that the man didn't mean that -

"It's not your problem."

He said in a deep voice. "In fact, you and Yutang have the same idea. You think this is an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her to obtain the special forbidden item. You and she witnessed the development of the situation at close range and made the same judgment."

"S-So, we were both wrong, weren't we...?"

Cen Dongsheng shook his head.

Before the dust settled on the ending, no one knew whether Song Yutang's life-threatening adventure was an unrealistic, arrogant and foolish delusion, or whether she was so decisive that she really seized the opportunity to change her own destiny.

"Maybe... this is also 'fate'."

he thinks.

It is not the kind of fate that one can only accept, but rather positive action that adapts to the situation while giving full play to subjective initiative.

The dragon slayer is refining the sword, Zhang Shidao is trying to seize the sword, their desires are no different from Yutang's. Although the girl is much more powerful than them, they are standing on the same battlefield and are fair competitors.

As for the several-fold gap in chances of winning between him and the two special-class spell-binding masters, he would have to find a way to make up for it.

"Take a deep breath and calm yourself down as soon as possible, Yunmei. We have to prepare for the next task."

Cen Dongsheng said.

Song Yutang gambled his life, but the chances of winning were still slim. If he failed, the outcome would most likely be death. In front of a special curse master, even if he had the ability to "transform into lightning", he would still not be able to struggle for more than a few rounds.

He couldn't just sit there and do nothing, so he might as well make a bigger noise.

"If that's delusion, let's make it real."

If it weren't for Song Yutang's unexpected outburst, with Cen Dongsheng's cautious personality, he might have chosen to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two tigers instead of taking the initiative to snatch the magic sword.

For Cen Dongsheng and even An Zhizhen, isn't this an opportunity?

"Next, you will become the communication hub for our special-class curse masters."

"And, with your sister..."

Jiang Yunmei, who had the ability to see through the sky, had already recognized the appearance of the girl standing in the sky.

Although she was surprised, she thought about it carefully and realized that it was normal for him to have the ability to openly challenge the leader of the Super Working Committee.

"Do not."

Cen Dongsheng shook his head.

"You're responsible for two people."

*
A fire of anger and anxiety burned in the dragon slayer's heart.

Given his personality, he rarely gets this anxious.

This is no wonder. The refining of the "Kunwu Sword" took a lot of his efforts, and most importantly, if he missed this time, there would really be no next time -

At most one or two "Dragon Courts" would appear in a hundred years, and all the places in this era had been taken up by him.

The dragon slayer said to himself: Good things take time.

At the critical moment when the magic sword was about to be refined, this place was targeted by his "kindred".

If he was only fighting against a special-class spell master, he would still have some confidence, but now...

Apart from Zhang Shidao, where on earth did this strange young girl come from? !
The opponent could release an attack that could shatter space with just a flick of his hand. The moment he dodged it, he vaguely felt "the whole world" passing by him.

In terms of the lethality to individuals alone, he completely surpassed him and Zhang Shidao.

After activating "Mountain and River Bone Form" to its extreme, the Dragon Slayer can also cause the surrounding space and time to distort, and this degree is enough to resist the Space Slash.

But it was too uneconomical to fight head-on. The opponent's curse was obviously a specialty of manipulating space, and the consumption was very low. In comparison, not only did he consume a lot of energy every time he activated it, but his own true energy was also being consumed by the Kunwu Sword. As a result, one thing increased while the other decreased...

The dragon slayer had a gloomy face and covered the wound on his broken arm. In order to avoid the space slash, he could only choose to blend into the surrounding environment again.

But this was Zhang Shidao's turn again, and this old rival had no intention of letting him go.

The battle became intense, and a powerful helper suddenly appeared. Zhang Shidao was suspicious about this, and half of his attention was focused on observing the young girl;
But he also knew that if he wanted to keep the Dragon Slayer, now was the best opportunity.

So, he activated "God's Enlightenment" with all his strength, giving "spirituality" to things that could be seen everywhere, such as flowing air, water, dust... and in the blink of an eye, he created hundreds of new gods with different characteristics.

The scene was so colorful and splendid that it caused waves in both the material and spiritual worlds. It is difficult to describe in words. The concentrated eruption of new will made the scenery before one's eyes suddenly "come alive."

Some of them are like ghosts, with only vague outlines; others are modeled after the appearance of their Creator and take on human form.

Some of them were originally just insignificant dust, but the power of the special forbidden spell changed everything——

This group of newly born gods trembled and marveled at the great power they felt when they were born; they sang praises to the Lord who gave them souls.

They were impulsive and curious. They held hands and danced in the air, exuding a primitive and wild rhythm that reminded people of the cave murals left over from ancient times.

Invisible ripples spread out along with the frenzied dance of the gods.

Unconsciously, the "wild natural environment" no longer exists here. It has been replaced by "living nature" that has its own will and obeys Zhang Shidao's orders.

The Dragon Slayer had no place to stand and was soon forced out.

"enough!"

He roared, gathered all his true energy, and used the simplest and crudest method to collide with his body, breaking through the heavy encirclement of the Space Slash.

Blood and flesh splattered, and the dragon slayer had dozens of wounds on his body, some of which were deep enough to reveal bones, and some of which revealed the wriggling internal organs. In order to break through the siege, he did not hesitate to allow himself to be seriously injured.

The Kunwu Sword, which was restrained by the "Dragon Forbidden Technique" formation, was suspended not far away.

The Dragon Slayer understood clearly that if he was unwilling to escape, there was only one way left to reverse the situation: recapture Kunwu.

……

And just as his fingers stretched toward the sword—

A flash of lightning suddenly flashed before my eyes.

"...?!"

A fourth contender emerges.

In terms of strength, this lightning is far less powerful than those of several special curse masters. Even for the seemingly embarrassed Dragon Slayer, it would be easy to wipe it out.

However, the "Lightning", who had been waiting for an opportunity for a long time, took the first-hand advantage.

At this moment, he touched the hilt of Kunwu's sword before the Dragon Slayer and Zhang Shidao.
