The King of Curses

Chapter 272 Surrender
Things developed as Cen Dongsheng expected.

Originally, if Yi Qingyan and An Zhizhen appeared together openly, it would inevitably arouse the vigilance of the other two special-class curse masters. Zhang Shidao and the Dragon Slayer would have speculations like "these two people have known each other for a long time". Under such external pressure, they might really choose to join forces.

That is the "worst case scenario" in Cen Dongsheng's mind, 2vs2 after the battle begins.

Although it was called "bad", they were actually evenly matched... But Cen Dongsheng felt that even with him as a reborn person around, the situation had evolved to one where they had to become enemies with multiple special-class curse masters, which could be considered a failure.

The current situation can be described as going smoothly: Zhang Shidao and the Dragon Slayer fought each other first, and then Cen Dongsheng and Song Yutang interrupted them. They failed to react in time to Yi Qingyan's appearance and fallout, as well as An Zhizhen's sudden attack, and as a result, one of them was injured and the other was cut in half on the spot, and their life or death is unknown.

The gap in intention and intelligence can still be the key on the battlefield of the special curse master.

However, Cen Dongsheng couldn't really foresee the future, so after he asked others for help, he couldn't control the unexpected developments -

Especially a dangerous person like the future King of Equality. In other words, Yi Qingyan has a side that she herself cannot control.

Compared to her past self, she has undergone earth-shaking changes; if compared with the "previous life" in Cen Dongsheng's memory, her life trajectory is even more different.

However, their inherent recklessness and paranoia prove that they are indeed one person.

Subconsciously choosing to use violence and killing to verify her own ideas, this kind of cruelty may be a character flaw that the girl needs to fight against throughout her life.

……

The Dragon Slayer fell into the abyss, Zhang Shidao was completely suppressed by An Zhizhen, and the gods he created were either destroyed or had his control taken away.

The situation seemed to have stabilized, but one person was inexplicably furious and filled with murderous intent. Her deep pupils stared at a familiar temporary ally.

She knew that it was her brother who asked the other party for help.

But... to join forces with this woman? And An Zhizhen?

Normally, she would be annoyed enough just by having to ignore this person's existence.

"Sister Qingyan, are you planning to turn against me now?"

The woman's charming voice, which sounded sickening, rang in Yi Qingyan's ears.

"Looking at your expression, it seems like you are really angry."

The well-behaved, obedient, pure and lovely image in front of the man was long gone; the girl's cold face was filled with gloomy anger, which was chilling.

"You think I don't dare?"

"I don't mind playing another overtime game... But today's operation was requested by your brother, so it's better not to miss the main task, okay?"

The girl's breasts, which were beginning to take shape, rose and fell slightly, and her expression was frozen.

She knew that the other person was right and she couldn't let her brother get angry.

Although she possessed powerful supernatural powers and was unwilling to be restrained by anyone, she was only willing to obey that man. Although she looked humble, Yi Qingyan was willing to do so.

It's not just because they have a deep brother-sister relationship and a blood bond connected by the curse, but also because she regards her brother as her bottom line.

If one day, she stopped listening to her brother, she would no longer be herself, but a depraved murderer who indulged in desires without restraint.

But then again, although Yi Qingyan has always been wary of her dangerous nature, she doesn't think there is anything wrong with punishing and killing those reckless guys who think they are superior and hurt others out of simple moral values.

In her eyes, An Zhizhen was a bad person who was totally out of her league and needed to be punished. This woman had a terrible personality, she was a control freak, arrogant, and she almost called herself a god. It was only because of her relationship with her brother that she could not do anything.

In comparison, the two teammates around my brother are better...

Yi Qingyan sighed softly

Because of her brother’s presence, she was able to control herself;

But also because of his existence, sometimes, the jealousy or the innate murderous intent, which one had a deeper impact, she gradually couldn't figure it out.

"We've worked together before, but it's hard for me to understand what my sister hates about me."

The other party seems to find it difficult as well, maybe this is because they are not compatible.

"After all, we have lived under the same roof for so long, haven't we?"

"I hate it everywhere. Exchanging interests is one thing, being partners is another."

"Haha, I'm already very happy that you consider me as your partner."

"……nausea."

Yi Qingyan resisted the urge and turned her attention back to her opponent.

After killing a careless special-class spell master, she felt that she had not been able to vent her frustration completely. If she could kill another one, maybe...

But things in the world don't always go as we wish.

Before she could make a move, the other party surrendered.

*
Cen Dongsheng and Song Yutang left the abyss and returned to Jiang Yunmei who was in the safe zone.

Of course, before that, the man did not forget to change his clothes and pants first.

He had expected that he would die, so he had made preparations. But when he was putting on his clothes, Cen Dongsheng still felt troubled and embarrassed, thinking to himself, "It would be great if I could make clothes in the future."

Although his current ability development direction seems to have nothing to do with "creation", but... just think about it, with the characteristic of "Hehua Zizai" that every request will be granted, it may become a foreshadowing in the future.

"You are finally back!"

Song Yutang was holding a sword in his hand, but as soon as he came up, Jiang Yunmei opened her arms and hugged him tightly, so he had to put the sword in his other hand.

Seeing the other person crying and making a fuss, the girl felt a little helpless, and felt in her heart: Although she is older than her and is a senior, Jiang Yunmei is sometimes obviously more easily excited than them.

It may not be right to say that she is "naive", as she occasionally reveals a very tolerant and caring side, and she is very calm in dealing with people in front of outsiders; but to say that she is "mature" seems to be far from it, as in front of her own people, she sometimes acts like an innocent young lady, and she always likes to daydream.

What a complicated woman.

Just as Song Yutang was about to speak, Jiang Yunmei suddenly let go of her hand, turned her attention to Cen Dongsheng, and began to complain:
"Teacher Cen, why didn't you tell me earlier that you have the ability to 'come back from the dead'? When I saw you being killed, I was really scared to death, with blood and flesh flying everywhere... I thought we were really finished."

Indeed, Song Yutang thought.

"Look, I'm crying my eyes out."

Senior Jiang also pointed to the tear marks at the corners of her eyes and pouted to express her dissatisfaction.

"When I looked at Yutang, I felt nervous and I couldn't even breathe. And the reason I cried was because of you."

"It's just that I don't usually have this opportunity to show you my skills."

Cen Dongsheng laughed.

There was nothing he could do, his strength was just so-so. He didn't need to fight hard against ordinary spell-forbidden masters, he could defeat them with a little bit of effort. But if he really had to fight against top masters, he would often lose his resurrection armor in the first round, and other than that, it would be difficult for him to even hinder his opponent.

This time he helped someone block the knife, which was considered an exceptional performance.

"Because the previous opponents were too weak, right?"

Jiang Yunmei sighed. "Even so..."

Song Yutang watched her complaining from the side.

Senior Sister Jiang’s feelings for the Master were no less than her own. She was obviously very excited to see him come back to life, but she didn’t think of hugging him. Perhaps she did so out of consideration for the differences between men and women.

or--

A thought flashed through Song Yutang's mind.

Senior Sister Jiang’s clairvoyance is so powerful that she could see how her master was torn to pieces to save her, and she could also see what he looked like after he was resurrected.

Not only did she see it, the senior sister also saw the naked body of this man. I wonder if the master realized this...

She quietly observed the face of the chattering senior, and as expected, she saw the natural blush on her face due to shyness, as well as her eyes wandering around and her unnatural gaze dodging.

Really... no wonder.

A series of thoughts emerged in her mind. Even Song Yutang didn't understand why she noticed these details. She felt like a famous detective.

After Jiang Yunmei finished complaining, she turned her attention back to her.

"Are you finally satisfied this time? I was ready to scold you for being so reckless and disregarding your own life, which made me so worried. But now the result is that I am too embarrassed to speak. With this Kunwu sword, you can--"

"I rely on the help of my master, senior students, and my master's acquaintances."

Song Yutang shook his head.

"Just say it's all thanks to Teacher Cen."

"……Oh, yes."

"Have you figured out how to repay me?"

Jiang Yunmei teased.

Looking at the senior's expression, she thought the girl was going to say something weird like "I will pledge my love to you". Fortunately, she didn't, otherwise she really wouldn't know how to answer.

According to the rules of the curse-master society, her entire value is far less than this sword.

Song Yutang unconsciously picked up the sword in his hand again, holding the hilt in his hand and looking at it carefully.

Can she really rely on this thing to reach the same level as her master and senior schoolmates?
Cen Dongsheng beside her noticed her action and said:
"You think that because you didn't get it by your own ability, it doesn't belong to you?"

"Hmm? I'm not..."

Before she could deny it, she heard the man continue to speak:
"After all, it was only with Sister Zhizhen and my sister that I was able to keep the spoils without worrying about retaliation. Do you think this is my ability?"

"Of course... count, right?"

Although there is a suspicion of "living off a gigolo", this world only cares about results. Even if we don't judge by the rules of the curse master, in the society of ordinary people, connections are also a very important resource, and excellent social skills are a valuable talent.

"Then you can know me as the captain, which gives me the motivation to protect you. This is also your ability. Moreover, if you hadn't met me and Yun Mei, you might not have taken the risk at all, and you might not have been dragged into this battlefield."

Song Yutang was speechless for a moment.

……

Cen Dongsheng was happy that he could personally train a candidate for the position of special-class spell-binding master.

As for whether Song Yutang can wield the Kunwu Sword well, that is another question, but the sword has been handed into her hands, which is a kind of "destiny", and he will not have any other thoughts.

Anyway, the increased strength of his two teammates and subordinates will only benefit him, and Song Yutang is not the kind of person who doesn't know how to repay a favor.

In addition to this, there is another thing that deserves the attention of Cen Dongsheng, the reborn person. He will soon witness history with his own eyes.

For the first time, the existence of the "Supreme Level Curse" was announced to the world, and the grand melee involving four special-class curse masters was about to come to an end.

*
This was the first time that Zhang Shidao encountered such a situation, and his heart sank.

The opponent's power was so overbearing that it easily made the gods betray him, the creator.

Just as he can restrain the Dragon Slayer's "Mountain and River Bone Form" to a certain extent, his curse "God's Enlightenment" seems to be restrained by his opponent as well.

Special spells have strong scalability and adaptability, and are no longer limited to the concept of supernatural powers. They can develop different abilities according to the user's wishes.

But just like the Dragon Slayer was still suppressed by him in the initial period of time, now if he wants to turn the situation around and fight An Zhizhen fairly, he has to think of a response strategy and switch to other tactics.

But the problem is...

There is another "great white shark" standing nearby, lurking around eagerly. This person is also a formidable opponent. Does he really have the time to spare?

"You two know each other?"

While casually chatting, he first pinched a few gods as clones and threw them out to distract attention, and then used "God's Wisdom" on himself.

Zhang Shidao in the "deified" state possesses extraordinary perception and concealment capabilities, but——

"We are sisters, so to speak."

"Who is your sister?"

The two men on the opposite side chatted, but they did not hesitate to take action. They joined forces to force out Zhang Shidao who was trying to repeat the same trick.

The method was very simple, that is, the two of them simultaneously spread the range of space slash and mental interference to the surrounding environment. With nowhere to escape, he had to use his divine clone to block the knife and retreat again.

This is really...

He sensed that the murderous intent emanating from the girl was genuine; but it was also true that she and An Zhizhen were acquaintances.

As for the fact that they seemed to dislike each other, it didn't matter at all - Zhang Shidao doubted that there were no two special curse masters in the world who could get along with each other.

No matter whether the relationship is close or bad, as long as there is a foundation, it can be transformed into each other under certain conditions. A stranger whose depth is unknown is far more difficult to deal with than a familiar enemy, and Zhang Shidao has a deep understanding of this.

"Forget it, give up."

Zhang Shidao was a decisive man. After fighting several times, seeing that the situation was not improving, he immediately chose to surrender.

One against two, it’s not shameful to lose.

Besides, they don't have any deep hatred, and the benefits of letting him go are greater than killing him. I think Advisor An is aware of this.

"I surrender, if you don't have the intention to kill me..."

"——Don't even think about it! I'm going to kill you right now!"

Things in the world don't always go as we wish.

Zhang Shidao only overlooked one point: there was indeed hatred between them...
