Chapter 57: Curse?
Chen Beiping looked completely dazed at the moment.
He just stared at the rusty iron sword in front of him, unable to hide his frustration.
“Could it be that apart from Ji Suying, no one can wield this sword?”
He sighed deeply.
He had made all the necessary preparations for this sword, but what he didn’t expect was that when he tried to refine it, he felt the agonizing pain of a thousand swords piercing his heart and the sensation of being sliced into pieces.
It wasn’t fatal for him, but it still came with a significant cost.
What confused him the most was whether the sword had a somewhat naughty character.
It was as if the sword was teasing him by pointing itself up and down, and then it shot a wisp of residual soul into his brain.
Thinking back on those lewd movements, and those even dirtier actions made Chen Beiping furious, almost wanting to break the sword.
He felt humiliated by it.
“Wait, it can’t be that to unseal this sword, some utterly humiliating means are required, right?”
His face turned a bit grim as he fell into deep thought.
In the end, Chen Beiping still felt that this whole thing was way too ridiculous.
“Forget it. Since I can’t have it, then I’ll ensure this sword never sees the light of day again!”
With that, he picked up the sword and slowly walked toward a cave.
Finally, he reached a lava pool in the cave.
Looking at the rusty sword in his hands, he felt a pang of reluctance.
But since it couldn’t be used by him, he hurled the sword straight into the lava.
“Whoosh~”
In that instant, the rusty sword trembled and instantly flew away.
“Smack!”
Just then, Ji Suying appeared from another passage and caught the rusty long sword in her hand.
Instead of immediately focusing on the sword, she fixed her gaze on Chen Beiping, standing across from her.
“Now, tell me how you found this sword and why you wanted to throw it away?”
“Don’t even think about escaping or lying to me.”
Chen Beiping took a deep breath, and his face turned pale.
He had never considered that he would be caught by Ji Suying.
Nor had he thought he would fail in his chance to seize an opportunity.
What made it even harder to accept was how early he was being ushered out of the game.
Because the name Ji Suying meant invincibility.
But Chen Beiping refused to believe it.
“I, Chen Beiping, am also a top-tier genius.”
“Am I ever inferior to others?!”
“Boom~”
A terrifying aura began to rise around him.
Today, he would challenge this so-called invincibility.
Ji Suying revealed a smirk of disdain at the corner of her lips.
“Ding~”
Ji Suying merely tapped the scabbard of the sword lightly with her finger, and a shockwave erupted forth.
The mountain rocks crumbled.
The lava churned.
Chen Beiping was swept up by the wave and sent flying.
In the end, he crashed like a cannonball into a distant peak.
“Woosh~”
Ji Suying’s figure appeared right in front of him again.
“I…”
“Woosh~”
Ji Suying’s finger flashed past Chen Beiping’s neck.
His head instantly went flying off.
“Whoosh~”
At that moment, a palm-sized baby shot away into the distance.
“Hmph!”
Ji Suying spread her palm and clenched the void.
“Boom~”
That baby exploded in an instant.
Ji Suying clapped her hands.
“Turns out this was once a mere ant that dared to covet what doesn’t belong to it!”
After saying this, Ji Suying’s figure vanished immediately.
……
……
In the main hall of the Heavenly God Sect.
Naira Bujiu, looking utterly dried up, lay in a pool of blood.
The blood in the pool was visibly dwindling, yet Naira remained in a dire state.
To call it inaccurate, there was a slight improvement.
Whenever Naira was on the brink of collapse, his blood would stop evaporating.
Once he began to recover, the blood would start evaporating again.
Yet, Naira was ecstatic.
He had witnessed Shi Changxin continually breaking through the Blood Demon Technique.
Now, after a long wait, was this chance finally his?
Naira Bujiu frantically operated the Blood Demon Technique.
Indeed, he understood the technique on a deeper level and was consistently breaking through.
“Quick! Blood pool, blood crystal, bring me the blood crystal of the ancient demon emperor!”
Naira commanded.
His subordinates didn’t dare delay and hurriedly got to work.
Meanwhile, Naira eagerly absorbed the energy.
Though the process was excruciating, the feeling of continuously breaking through was irresistible.
“Hahaha! At this rate, I’ll become invincible! Then I… um, wait, what’s going on?”
Naira suddenly sensed something was off.
Not only was his blood evaporating, but his soul, lifespan, and flesh were also beginning to vaporize.
“Wait, no!”
Naira cried out in terror.
Just as his voice fell, the evaporating stopped.
At this point, Naira had become a mere dried corpse, looking as aged as a gnarled tree.
He staggered out of the blood pool, filled with fear as he looked back at it.
“Fill up this blood pool, quick!”
His subordinates immediately nodded in agreement but were also terrified.
Look at Elder Naira, he’s basically been sucked dry into a raisin!
At this moment, Naira finally sensed something was wrong.
“This… this feels like a curse!”
Just then, an old woman approached him with a smile.
“You’re absolutely right, this is a curse, and a particularly powerful one!”
Upon seeing the old woman, Naira felt as if he’d found a lifeline.
“Please, grandma, help me get rid of this damned curse!”
The old woman laughed.
“This is the first time I’ve encountered such a powerful curse, but don’t worry, I’ll help you out.”
Saying this, the old woman pulled out one of Naira’s teeth.
Then, she utilized the delay to activate the curse.
“Pfft…”
Naira spat out a mouthful of blood as countless insects crawled out from his body.
“Granny, what are you doing?!”
Naira was utterly confused.
The old woman looked just as perplexed.
“What’s wrong with you? Did you curse yourself?”
Naira widened his eyes in disbelief.
“I didn’t curse myself, I swear!”
The old woman narrowed her brows.
“But my curse is designed to find the source of the curse and then devour it!”
Naira was at his wit’s end.
“Well, grandma, how about you take care of the curse first? I feel like I’m about to go down!”
The old woman nodded.
However, just as she was about to stop, a series of popping sounds erupted.
Her body was also overrun by countless insects, tearing into her flesh.
“I cursed myself?”
The old woman stared in horror.
“No, stop!”
She tried to end the spell, but the cursed insects were devouring too quickly.
In a blink, both the old woman and Naira Bujiu became two mere skeletons…
