While I was chanting a curse, the system said I was Xiao Yan?

Shen Er flicked the blood off the blade, and the Soul-Devouring Blade returned to its snow-white state.

The scales of the Rainbow Dragon are known as the strongest defense among all cursed spirits, arguably the strongest.

But under his Soul-Devouring Blade, which can ignore the body and attack the soul directly, they are nothing more than clay chickens and earthenware dogs.

However, Rainbow Dragon is still powerful enough against other opponents, since not everyone can use this cursed tool easily.

The only requirement for its use is the ability to perceive the outline of a soul, so apart from Shen Er, there are very few people in this world who can use it well.

Xia Youjie raised his hand again.

"The Slit-Mouthed Woman!"

A figure emerged from the black fog.

It wore a tattered black trench coat and a white face mask with a menacing slit revealing sharp, gleaming teeth.

He held a huge pair of scissors in his hand, the blades covered in dark red rust that gleamed eerily under the light.

That was the top-tier illusionary spirit, the Slit-Mouthed Woman, which Xia Youjie had subdued not long ago!

Around the Slit-Mouthed Woman's body, the air began to distort, not in a physical sense, but in a more abstract and essential way, as if space itself was being stirred up by something, forming invisible vortexes.

Suddenly, the hotel lobby transformed into a bizarre space filled with black mist, streets, flashing lights, and the crackling of electricity.

"Domain?"

He shifted his body slightly, a thoughtful smile appearing on his face. He sensed the information flowing through his mind and looked at the humanoid cursed spirit with its head bowed not far away.

"It's that kind of special area where you can't attack each other until the conditions are met. Interesting."

The slit-mouthed woman opened her blood-red maw, her sharp teeth clashing as she asked the question that sent chills down the spines of countless people.

"Am I beautiful?"

Shen Er looked at that face that was completely devoid of beauty: "As for here, well, let's just say no..."

Before she could finish speaking, the slit-mouthed woman slashed with her scissors, severing the hair on her right ear and leaving a line of blood on her ear.

Looking at the countless giant scissors that suddenly appeared around him, he smiled and said, "So that's how you attack."

A bronze hilt emerged from the mouth of the cursed spirit on his body, and with a swift motion, the uniquely designed Heavenly Rebellion Blade appeared within his domain.

It can forcibly dispel any initiating spell, whether it's a spell caster's or a spell caster's. Any spell touched by it will be forcibly dispelled.

And a domain is, of course, a type of technique!

Countless blades appeared around Shen'er, instantly shattering all the scissors in the domain!

The Slit-Mouthed Woman's domain cracked the moment the dagger appeared, and shattered with a "crack" after all the scissors were broken.

Like a shattered mirror, fragments scattered in the air, turning into tiny specks of magical energy that dissipated into the air. The slit-mouthed woman let out a shrill scream, curling up into a ball, trying to retreat back into the shadows.

Fuhesh'er's body was freed.

In that instant, he accelerated from a standstill to his maximum speed, so fast that he left only a blurry afterimage in the air.

The dagger drew an almost invisible arc in the air.

The slit-mouthed woman's throat was pierced!

The dagger pierced its neck from the front and exited from the back, drawing out a spray of dark purple blood that splattered in the air, appearing particularly glaring under the light.

The Slit-Mouthed Woman's body froze.

Its mouth opened as if it wanted to say something, but only a "hoarse" sound, like air leaking out, came from its throat.

The body began to dissipate.

Starting from the feet, it gradually turned into black mist, slowly dissipating in the air.

Xia Youjie had no time to lament the death of his top-tier cursed spirit. Before Shen Er left the domain, he had already circled around to the back and extended his right hand towards Shen Er!

Spirit Manipulation Technique activated!

However, this time it wasn't about releasing the cursed spirit, but rather absorbing it!

The target was the insect-shaped cursed spirit wrapped around Shen'er!

Xia Youjie's technique, the Cursed Spirit Manipulation Technique, can bring subdued cursed spirits under his control. However, there is an implicit rule: if the difference in rank between the cursed spirit and himself reaches two levels, then he can bypass the 'subjugation' process and directly absorb the cursed spirit, converting it into his own power!

In his view, the cursed spirit on this person only served as an armory. It was very useful, but its combat power and cursed power were very low, at most around level three. The gap between him and himself was definitely more than level two!

Under the influence of the spell manipulation technique, the cursed spirit seemed to melt away from Shen'er's body and flew towards Xia Youjie's palm.

Xia Youjie smiled. Just as he had thought, once he controlled this cursed spirit, this person's arsenal would be under his control!

In this way, enemies who rely on various magical artifacts to fight their own magical spirits will be defeated by their own magical spirits after they lose their weapons!

*Smack!*

Xia Youjie's expression changed as he watched helplessly as his hand was repelled the moment it touched the cursed spirit!

Another rule of the Spellcaster Technique is that a Spellcaster with a master cannot be forcibly absorbed.

Once this master-servant relationship is established, no other sorcerer can subdue it, not even with spells like Spirit Manipulation.

Unless the original owner dies!

Shen Er did not die.

Therefore, the cursed spirit on his body still maintains a master-servant relationship with him!

Backlash!

The backlash of the spell manipulating spirits.

His magical power became chaotic in that instant, as if it were being stirred up from within by something, and the output of his magical power became unstable.

Most importantly, his body swayed slightly!

Out of position!

Shen Er grinned, revealing a cold smile; of course, he wouldn't miss this opportunity!

A flash of light appeared.

Xia Youjie's body jerked back half a step, but he couldn't avoid it at all. The blade cut into his left shoulder, diagonally downwards, and pulled all the way to his right rib.

Then another flash of light slashed in from the right shoulder, all the way to the left rib.

Four blades flashed across his chest the instant he lost his position!

Blood gushed from the X-shaped wound on his chest!

Xia Youjie's legs buckled, and he knelt on the ground, his hands supporting him. Blood flowed down his chest and abdomen, dripping onto the corridor floor and forming a small puddle.

He looked down at the wound on his chest; it was deep, so deep that he could see the muscle fibers!

He struggled to lift his head and look at the man.

The man stood before him, holding a katana, blood still dripping from the tip. Sunlight streamed in from behind him, making him look like a demon emerging from hell.

He sheathed his sword, turned around, and walked in the direction where Tennori Riko and Kuroi Misato had disappeared.

The slapping sound of flip-flops echoed in the corridor, unhurried and gentle.

He did not kill Xia Youjie.

It's not out of mercy, but because when the user of the Spell Manipulation Technique dies, all the spell spirits he controlled will go berserk at the same moment, attacking everything around them uncontrollably.

He didn't want to deal with that kind of trouble.

Xia Youjie knelt on the ground, blood still flowing. His vision began to blur, his consciousness began to dissipate, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

His body fell forward, his forehead hitting the floor with a dull thud.

Boom!
