The person was chanting a curse, but their hands were wielding the black magic.

Just before Shi Liulong was about to be hit.

"Reverse the external playback!"

Fukuro Megumi made a quick decision, withdrawing the item and instead summoning Enshi to deal with the situation.

A giant, white deer leaped out from the shadows, its antlers radiating a pure, inverted magical light.

The filthy swarm of insects clinging to the blade of the Rotten Life Blade had not yet managed to erode Stone Flow Dragon's skin before being hastily repelled by the reversed light.

The black curse energy melted and dissipated rapidly under the light, like snow melting in a fire.

Biological weapons, huh? Just eat me and turn the tables!

But only Shi Liulong could withstand the giant axe of the Evil Road King Dayue. The giant axe fell with immense force, striking Shi Liulong's crossed arms as he tried to block.

Fortunately, the released curse power had already been applied to the body's defenses, forming a thick layer of curse power armor.

But it also left Shi Liulong with bloody marks; two deep, bone-revealing wounds extended from his forearm to his elbow, with blood dripping from his fingertips.

"The King of Evil Roads... Ōtakemaru, is he a special-grade imaginary vengeful spirit, ranking alongside Tamamo-no-Mae as one of the three great demons?"

Being able to break through the Stone Flow Dragon's defense, it seems to be a melee-specialized fighter.

"I will use the reverse external output to deal with Hei Musi."

"The rest is up to you, Stone Flow Dragon!"

Fushi and Kuro instantly divided their tasks, with Shi Liulong covering Enshi, who lacked direct combat ability, creating opportunities for a reversal of the situation during the confrontation.

"Oh, so confident?"

Lu Suo clearly did not believe that the attack composed of three top-level cursed spirits could be easily dismantled.

However, the second shikigami chosen by Fukuro was no longer Shinji.

Instead.

"Moo!"

A deep, resonant cry rose into the sky, echoing like an ancient horn across the battlefield.

The massive bull has a wide body, yet it moves incredibly fast, creating a striking contrast with its enormous size.

"They've already sped up?"

The domain has unlocked the limits of the Ten Shadows, and Fukuro had already placed everything within the Shadow Tide.

In the “Matching Shadows Courtyard” composed of boundless shadows, the concept of space has become almost blurred.

Up, down, left, and right lose their meaning; distance and size no longer matter.

Under these circumstances, the entire area becomes a space for Guan Niu to gather momentum and unleash his ultimate attack, which is also Fu Hei's strongest killing move.

The bull can charge from any direction and attack from any angle, with no blind spots or dead ends.

Excuse me, good luck is on your side!

Fu Hei's confidence lay in the fact that this long-prepared attack would surely reduce one of the spirits to zero.

The goal is...

"Ganesha, remove the barrier of gravity."

"Fly!"

Lu Suo immediately realized that Fu Hei's target was Ganesha, who had the highest potential in this battle.

That conceptual-type Superior Spell Spirit possesses the ability to manipulate concepts; if it were allowed to fully exert its power, the consequences would be unimaginable.

As the command was given.

The giant elephant instantly broke free from the pull of gravity, its massive body rising straight up, its four hooves treading lightly in the air as if stepping on invisible steps.

It perfectly avoided the bull's initial charge.

The bull's silhouette passed beneath it, failing to cause any real damage.

"Eliminate the friction that causes the bull to pierce through!"

Lu Suo then used his second move.

His technique precisely targets the bull's four hooves against the ground, eliminating friction and preventing the bull from generating any forward thrust.

If it charges forward, it will lose momentum and become a useless behemoth that can only spin in place.

So the Curse Return really is based on physics!

Seeing that Ganesha's spell was about to be cast, Fuhei simply had Guan Niu re-integrate into the Shadow Tide.

The enormous figure vanished silently into the churning shadows, like a stone sinking into the water, without leaving a ripple.

However, Fu Hei's face still held the confidence of victory.

"Some tactics just work every time!"

Fuhei did not respond to Lusuo's provocation, but simply pointed gently upwards.

The next moment, the figure of the bull appeared even above Ganesha!

"And what about your upper part?"

The bull's speed did not decrease, and Ganesha had nowhere to hide.

A violent tearing sound came from above.

"Now it's four against three."

Bathed in the lingering, filthy curse power of the vanished elephant god, Fuhei deliberately raised his head and looked at Lusuo.

The filth lingered around Fu Hei, reflecting the composure and confidence on his face.

At the same time, Shi Liulong once again engaged in a fierce battle with Evil Road King Yue.

With the sheer power of his curse, Shi Liulong suppressed Da Wangyue's figure, forcing the top-tier curse spirit to retreat repeatedly.

"Fuhei, fire on me!"

Shi Liulong roared and locked his hands tightly around Ōtakemaru's arms, binding his body tightly to the enemy.

Upon receiving the instruction, the reversal light of the deer continued to expand outward, its rays piercing towards the entangled human and spirit.

Shi Liulong felt as if he were bathed in a spring breeze, while Evil Road King Yue almost vanished.

Under the light, the body, like a wax figure being scorched by fire, began to melt and collapse.

The light of reversal was so dazzling that Hei Musi could not get close at all. The cockroach cursed spirit hovered at the edge of the light, emitting a sharp hiss.

Working together, the two once again tore apart a top-tier cursed spirit.

"Now it's four against two!"

Fuhei deliberately repeated it again.

"It was clearly four against three all over."

Lu Suo slowly waved his hand, his voice carrying a calm and unhurried tone:

"Haven't you noticed I haven't been attacking?"

With a gentle wave of his hand, Hei Musi beside him paused for a moment, then dissipated into black smoke, like mist blown away by the wind, returning to his palm.

The black smoke condensed and contracted in his palm, forming a constantly rotating black sphere.

"Spirit Manipulation Technique... no, it's a vortex!" Fu Hei's pupils suddenly contracted.

You guessed right.

Lu Suo changed his tone.

"And Hei Mu was the last one that wasn't fused."

-

The moment the vortex aura suddenly appeared, even Lu Ziyun, who was far away on the second battlefield, felt this ominous aura.

Carrying the wails and resentments of hundreds of cursed spirits, it pierced through the walls, through the ice, through all barriers, and poured straight into everyone's senses.

"It has fused with all the cursed spirits?"

Fuhei never imagined that Lusuo would be so crazy as to fuse all the remaining cursed spirits.

This means that he completely abandoned the spellcasting technique in the aftermath of the battle.

"We're willing to fight to the death if it means killing you all!"

"And I'm going to take out a loan..."

"In exchange for permanently sealing away the Spell Manipulation Technique, I will once again enhance the power of this vortex strike!"

The black cursed power expanded and compressed like a tornado, emitting a piercing howl.

It seemed capable of devouring all light, all hope, and all life.

The vortex composed of countless cursed spirits grew even larger.

This startled even the cannon-wielding Stone Flow Dragon, causing a bead of cold sweat to appear on his forehead.

"Hey, this is even sweeter than my maximum output!"

At the cost of sealing the entire technique.

The vortex's attack far exceeded what Fuhei and the Stone Flow Dragon could withstand.

And in this moment of despair.

In the oppressive darkness, as if in death, a precise, interlocking sound was heard as it was inserted into the other side.
