Borrowing a sword

Chapter 233 Even from Thousands of Miles Away, One Can Still Kill

"Why can't Zhong Ming be saved!" Cheng Yuyan frowned, seemingly slightly dissatisfied with the answer.

In his eyes, there are too many fools in the world, and Zhong Ming is one of the few smart people.

It would be so boring if there weren't a few smart people like Zhong Ming in the world.

Ming Xuanji was unwilling to say anything more at this moment, or rather, he didn't have time to say anything more.

He simply said, "Zhong Ming's fate will affect too many people."

"If he weren't insane, it would be very difficult for me to set things right!"

Cheng Yuyan looked at him and said, "Ming Lao, do we really have to follow that predetermined ending? Don't you think it's rather boring?"

"Boring?" Ming Xuanji raised his head and looked at Cheng Yuyan with his empty eyes.

"This concerns a catastrophe for the world. Since the predetermined ending is already good, why change it just for your so-called fun?"

"Do you know how many people your 'amusement' will harm! Do you know that your 'amusement' will plunge the entire Xuanhuang Realm into crisis!"

"Is something interesting worth taking such a big risk?" His tone grew increasingly stern.

Cheng Yuyan, however, had an indifferent expression on his face.

"What do these things have to do with me?"

What do sentient beings and great calamities have to do with me, Cheng Yuyan?
All I want is to live a happy life, that's all.

But he soon became curious about what Ming Xuanji was planning to do.
He then took out a wooden box from his storage ring.

When the wooden box was opened, it contained a spirit seed!

"Huh? You took out the spiritual seed that Chu Huaixu planted in your precious disciple Lin Zixuan's body?" Cheng Yuyan was somewhat surprised.

But soon his face turned ashen, and he said in a serious tone, "Elder Ming, you wouldn't be planning to use a curse to kill me, would you?"

"So what if it is?" the old man said indifferently.

"So, planting the spirit seed in the first place was all your doing?" Cheng Yuyan asked.

"No, this was the choice of the younger generation themselves. It was Qin Xuanxiao who instructed Zixuan to do it," the old man replied.

"Within the spirit seed are Chu Huaixu's essence blood, spiritual power, and divine consciousness."

"According to Qin Xuanxiao, he is the Fire Dingyi of my Moon Kingdom, and I have obtained his birth date and time from the [organization]."

“Now that we are thousands of miles apart, if I use my curse to kill him, even if you, Cheng Yuyan, are too late to save him.”

“And you can’t lay a hand on me, much less would you lay a hand on me, right?” Ming Xuanji said calmly.

Cheng Yuyan looked at him with a conflicted expression and said, "But I owe the Daoist sect a favor."

“You can return it to other people in the Daoist sect!” Ming Xuanji sneered.

Cheng Yuyan fell silent.

But soon, he suddenly laughed.

"For some reason, I always feel that your curse technique might be useless against Chu Huaixu," said Cheng Xiucai.

“I know many of his special qualities,” Ming Xuanji said.

"Unfortunately, I used my own life force as a catalyst, expending three years of my lifespan. No matter how many supernatural powers and methods he has, even if he possesses a wisp of primordial power, he still cannot escape or avoid this inevitable end of his life force being cut off."

Cheng Yuyan nodded and said, "Logically speaking, that should be the case. But my intuition tells me that the outcome may not be as Elder Ming wishes."

"Intuition?" Hearing such a nonsensical reason, Ming Xuanji was taken aback.

"Your intuition is indeed always very accurate." The old man remained silent for a moment.

But after calculating with his fingers, a faint smile appeared on his face.

He quickly began to use encryption.

A faint black aura emanated from his body.

The old man quickly became even more gaunt.

His skin, which already looked somewhat gaunt, began to wrinkle even more.

At that moment, a large clump of his full head of white hair fell out.

He aged considerably in an instant.

Those eyes also became slightly dimmer and cloudy.

【Curse Killing Technique】Although it can kill people from thousands of miles away, it has many limitations and the entire casting process is very slow.

Cheng Yuyan, watching from the side, couldn't help but say, "Old Ming, why are you doing this?"

"With your current lifespan, you can't even see the end you've calculated. Do you think you'll live to see that day?"

Ming Xuanji ignored him and began muttering to himself.

Soon, the black energy gathered at the tip of his right finger.

He gently touched it to the spirit seed.

The spirit seed instantly dissolved, turning into a pool of black water. Then, the black water began to turn into black smoke, slowly gathering towards the old man's fingertips.

The following process was very slow.

The black water slowly transformed into wisps of black smoke.

The old man began to repeat Huo Dingyi's birth date and time over and over again.

Each time he spoke, a wisp of black energy would gather towards his fingertips.

It took about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before the black water completely transformed into black mist, merging with the black mist that was already present on the old man's fingertips.

Immediately afterwards, he cut his fingertip.

Strangely, no blood flowed out.

Instead, a drop of black liquid fell.

It instantly absorbed all the black energy and then floated in the old man's palm.

He raised his empty eyes to look at the black liquid in his palm.

It began to be reflected in the old man's eyes.

"burst!"

The old man clenched his fist tightly, and an immense power spread outwards, causing Cheng Yuyan to raise her sleeve to slightly block it.

The Taoist school, the gentleman's temple.

Chu Huaixu is using the power of the Dao Seal to try to solve the problem of the bell ringing.

Jiang Zhi watched from the side, feeling extremely nervous.

After a long while, the three golden characters in Chu Huaixu's palm began to slowly dissipate.

He opened his eyes, looking somewhat weak.

Zhong Ming, who was sitting in front of him, had closed his eyes at some point.

His breathing was slow and even, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

"Junior Grandmaster Uncle... this?" Chu Huaixu was unsure if it would be of any use.

"It's alright. You're only at the second level of cultivation and have just obtained the Dao Seal. How could you possibly cure Fifth Senior Brother's problem in one go?"

"It's already a blessing that he can get a good night's sleep these days," Jiang Zhi sighed.

It seems to have had some effect, but it's far from enough.

But at least it gave him hope!

"I haven't seen my fifth senior brother so calm in a long time." A hint of reminiscence appeared in his eyes.

In the past, no matter what happened, Zhong Ming always remained calm and composed.

It's as if even if the sky were to fall, he would handle it calmly.

Therefore, he always makes people feel at ease.

However, the next moment, Chu Huaixu suddenly coughed violently a few times, as if he was having trouble breathing.

"What's wrong!" Jiang Zhi exclaimed in surprise.

He suddenly sensed a strange power spreading across Chu Huaixu's body.

But it disappeared in just a moment!
Or rather, they dispersed on their own!
"It's nothing, I just suddenly feel a little uncomfortable, but I can't quite put my finger on it." Chu Huaixu was also somewhat puzzled.

But thousands of miles away, an old man was not having such a good time.

Ming Xuanji suddenly vomited blood, the blood a dark red!

He began to age rapidly, looking several years older than before.

The old man's hands trembled as he grabbed at his white hair, and with that gentle touch, he pulled out a lot more.

His flesh began to wither and shrivel, becoming like skin and bones, which was somewhat frightening.

The intense backlash caused him to lose some of his lifespan.

"How could it be wrong!"

"Why is Huo Dingyi's birth date and time incorrect?!" the old man roared.

"No! Huo Dingyi's birth date and time are correct!"

He kept calculating with his left hand, constantly using his fingers to divine.

"That's right, the birth date and time are correct!"

"No, it's wrong, it's wrong!"
