Antique Shop Zero: Disfigured School Beauty Becomes a Succubus to Pay Off Debts

Above the city of Nanhai, four enormous phantoms occupied the four directions.

In the east, a five-clawed azure dragon coils and twists, its scales and claws appearing and disappearing among the clouds and mist.

In the west, a giant white tiger roared to the sky, its roar shaking the very air.

In the south, a divine bird engulfed in flames hangs like a new sun, its intense light scorching the sky.

In the north, a black tortoise coiled with a black snake coldly surveys the human world, its gaze as deep and still as a thousand-year-old icy pool.

The air was filled with a spiritual energy so rich it was almost tangible.

The four colors of blue, white, red, and black intertwine and entwine in the air, transforming into a colorful tide.

Spiritual raindrops emanated from the four colors, drizzling down on the edge of South Sea City.

They converged and rose at the city's borders, eventually coalescing into a giant four-colored cube that completely enveloped the entire city.

The Cowherd's face was pale, but his eyes were sharp as knives as he spoke indifferently:

"This is the Four Symbols Suppressing Evil Formation, also known as the Lesser Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Severing Formation."

It was derived from the "Sealing Heaven and Earth" move of the last emperor.

Although not as powerful as one that uses the dragon vein as the array's core, it still uses the phantom images of the four sacred beasts as the four array's cores.

To annihilate ordinary gods is as easy as slaughtering a dog.

Dusk, this is the most powerful magic in the human world today.

"To witness this move that I've mastered for a thousand years is a stroke of good fortune for you before your demise."

Jiang Chaosheng glanced around.

It's really strong.

That's ridiculously strong.

Even with his immortal body, he felt immense pressure at this moment.

But this Four Symbols Exorcising Formation isn't the most deadly thing; the most deadly thing is—

Medusa's spiritual senses may be fully restored soon, and those eleven buyers won't last much longer.

A sinister laugh suddenly echoed in my mind:

"Hey, Xiao Chaosheng, you seem to be in trouble."

Jiang Chaosheng narrowed his eyes.

The voice sounds familiar.

The Deceitful and Treacherous Left Eye?

Since being suppressed by the forbidden sculpture, this eye has become his divine aperture.

Forbidden sculptures once warned:

Unless absolutely necessary, do not use supernatural powers or believe in deception or strange tricks.

Jiang Chaosheng knew—

That thing never died; it was merely lying dormant, waiting for an opportunity to deceive him.

The voice in my mind softened again, like a close friend denouncing a villain:

"It's time to use the divine power, isn't it?"

Unfortunately, you listened to the stone's advice but never used it, which resulted in you being completely unaware of the power of the divine aperture and unable to perfectly control it.

But you don't have time to adapt. What you lack most right now is time, isn't that right?

The cunning and treacherous man paused, his voice lowering, filled with seductive allure and a deeply suppressed greed:

"How about this, let's make a deal, a small deal."

Lend me your body for five minutes, and I'll make sure the Cowherd is dead beyond any doubt.

Just five minutes. In five minutes, your body will be back yours—I'm not lying to you.

Jiang Chaosheng could tell.

The cunning and treacherous man was very lusting after his body.

.....

At the border between Dongpu City and Nanhai City, a long line of cars was stuck on the main provincial highway.

"Beep beep beep—"

"Beep beep!!"

The blaring of horns echoed incessantly.

A taxi driver got out of the car, grumbling and cursing.

"Did her mother die? How can this godforsaken place be so congested?"

He thought he had made a fortune by delivering a big job from the South China Sea to Dongpu.

But the way back was completely jammed!

I heard that the road ahead seems to be under traffic control.

This is absolutely outrageous! What kind of regulations are there in this crappy place?

A sonic boom suddenly echoed in the sky.

Everyone looked up.

Several fighter jets streaked across the sky, heading straight for Nanhai City.

"What's going on? Is this a drill?"

Before the words were finished, four brightly colored beams of light converged in front of them, forming a huge four-colored square in the sky above South Sea City.

Immediately afterwards, the square suddenly lowered its dazzling light curtain, transforming into a cube that completely enveloped the entire South China Sea City.

A fighter jet happened to be scanned by the light screen and was directly cut off.

After the flash of light came an explosion. Fortunately, the parachute ejected, suspending the pilot as he slowly descended.

The taxi driver's eyes widened, and he quickly shrank back into the car, trembling as he lit a cigarette, no longer daring to complain.

......

The Cowherd laughed loudly, looking up at the sky:

"Haha, Dusk, I admit you're special."

However, none of the managers are any good at it!

He flicked his sleeve, and a wine jug appeared in his hand. He sneered:

"Will you drink this farewell toast or not?"

Jiang Chaosheng gripped the Grim Reaper's scythe expressionlessly, his gaze shifting between the phantom images of the Four Sacred Beasts.

What is the core of a formation?

It's probably... the thing that supports this Four Symbols Exorcising Formation.

Once the core of the formation is destroyed, the formation will disintegrate.

However, the power surging from the phantoms of the Four Divine Beasts was too great, each one being no weaker than the Cowherd himself.

Formations are essentially a clever trick used by spellcasters to achieve maximum effect with minimal effort.

Once the formation is set up, the caster can unleash power far exceeding their own.

In his mind, the seductive and cunning voice continued to whisper:

"Your time is running out, Xiao Chaosheng."

"I'll only borrow your body for five minutes, just five minutes, I swear."

The cunning and treacherous left eye gradually grew restless:

"Make a decision quickly! If you're doomed, I'm doomed too! I don't want to die with you!"

Jiang Chaosheng nodded slightly:

"Okay, I'll use you then."

Deceitful, cunning, and incredibly delightful:

"Believe me, this is the best decision you've ever made!"

Jiang Chaosheng sheathed his flintlock pistol, gripped the Grim Reaper's scythe horizontally, and his eyes flickered slightly:

"The Deceitful and Cunning Left Eye—Open!"

After the stern shout, a crack appeared on his forehead.

A purple eye peeked out from the gap, darting left and right, its malicious gaze seeming to want to swallow the whole world.

Upon seeing this, Niulang trembled and pointed at Jiang Chaosheng, shouting sternly:

"Twilight! You have devoured the left eye of the Deceitful and Treacherous!"

How could you possibly have swallowed this thing and still be alive?

Even with the rules of Antique Shop Zero protecting me... Damn it, I forgot you're special!

What exactly did that foolish last emperor do?!

Why did I leave such a foolish backup plan like you!

The Cowherd took a deep breath, his eyes serious:

"Do you know how ferocious this thing is?"

A wisp of a cunning and treacherous soul resides within it!

If it fully recovers, the entire human world will be doomed!

The cunning and treacherous left eye urges:

"Quickly, quickly, give me your body!"

The Cowherd took a deep breath, formed a hand seal, and spoke in a voice as cold as ice:

"Twilight, you must have been bewitched by it!"

Even if you open the divine aperture of this evil god, you still can't defeat me and will surely perish here!

The cunning and treacherous creature is merely looking for an opportunity to leave your body and descend into this world!

Even if you were to defeat me with its power, you wouldn't be the one to survive.

It's a cunning and treacherous entity that has taken over your body!

When the time comes, you will perish, while the cunning and treacherous will live on.

You'll always lose by making deals with cunning and deceitful people!

The cunning and treacherous man, clearly having his secret exposed, became even more anxious:

"How could that be? We're together!"

How could I abandon you and let you die at the hands of that old Taoist priest?

"Hurry up, let me out, give me control of my body!"

Jiang Chaosheng could tell that they were both quite anxious.

He parted his thin lips slightly:

"Noisy."

The Cowherd was stunned:

"Are you really so stubborn?"

To risk everything, even the entire world?!

The cunning and treacherous man chuckled and said:

"Yes, he's quite talkative."

Jiang Chaosheng frowned:

"The same to you."

The cunning and treacherous man choked for a moment:

"Forehead……"

A chilling smile slowly crept onto Jiang Chaosheng's lips:

"You all seem to be very calculating, and you all like to treat others like fools."

The Cowherd frowned.

The cunning and treacherous also sensed something was amiss.

Jiang Chaosheng let out a muffled groan.

The eyes on his forehead were fully open.

The cunning and treacherous became excited:

"Great! You really are my best partner!"

It is taking over Jiang Chaosheng's body.

Although I don't know why I felt something was off just now—but I still achieved my goal in the end, right?

"I—I've finally been resurrected!"

Jiang Chaosheng wore an expression of enjoyment.

But just a second before the cunning and treacherous master took control of the body—

Jiang Chaosheng, using the last vestiges of his physical abilities, silently uttered a name:

"The Shadow of the Ark of the Covenant".

The shadow of the Ark of the Covenant, the power of the Black God.

After the Black God was killed, this supernatural power was sealed in the Grim Reaper's scythe.

The divine powers that the Western God comprehended in the subspace—

It can summon the shadow of the Ark of the Covenant, sacrifice its own soul, and forcibly banish the target regardless of their transcendental level.

Jiang Chaosheng completely lost control of his body.

Now.....

The one about to be banished is the Cowherd!

The one whose soul is about to be sacrificed is a cunning and treacherous devil!

Those two bastards are constantly scheming against themselves, but they never consider whether they might be schemed against by the prey they see.

The cunning and treacherous creature that had taken over Jiang Chaosheng's body was completely dumbfounded as it watched the Ark of the Covenant in the sky continuously open and release endless darkness.

"Jiang Chaosheng—you schemed against me!"
