Chapter 172: Soul Curse, Die!

“Blood Curse!”

When Mu Yi heard that voice, he sensed the danger coming .

The blood rose up in front of him . He didn’t even need to use mind strength to see it, he could see it with his bare eyes .

The blood contained the murderous intentions of the people who had died . Mu Yi now understood why he had let them die .

Because they hated Mu Yi, and their hatred fed the curse, so it made it even more powerful .

The great leader didn’t care about those people’s lives . And if Mu Yi died, it didn’t matter whether the Octagon Organization still existed or not .

When Mu Yi heard the voice in his head, he understood he had been too careless . Mu Yi had underestimated the Octagon Organization because to him, they were just a group of people who were not that strong, and whether they were considered as top-class or second-class fighters didn’t matter to him because he initially thought they couldn’t do anything to him .

But Mu Yi hadn’t thought that the great leader of the organization also practiced Taoism and that he was slightly stronger than him . According to Mu Yi’s senses, the man had already reached the third step .

And Mu Yi had killed a hundred people so the great leader was ready to do anything to make him pay . In simple words, Mu Yi was in great danger .

But Mu Yi wasn’t the kind of person who faced danger with an unruffled mind, even in such circumstances, he remained cold-headed .

“Descend!”

Mu Yi took out three five thunders charms . That was his limit, five thunders charms and evil spirit slaying charms didn’t use the same amount of mind strength, for five thunders charms, he needed lots of mind strength .

“Kaboom!”

The lightnings of the three charms intertwined and flashed, then they descended from the sky . People who were watching in the distance were dumbstruck once again . Their bodies stiffened .

And at the top of Western Ji Hill, a slim silhouette appeared .

The thunders roared in the sky, and the evil dark clouds hadn’t completely dispersed so it was perfect for the five thunders charms . Mu Yi also used as much strength as he could to use the charms to the fullest .

Even Mu Yi closed his eyes when the lightnings descended from the sky, and his whole body felt numb . He had the impression he was going to faint . His legs felt weak .

And the blood which was rising around him became extremely thin when struck by the lightnings .

However, they didn’t destroy all the blood, it was the blood of a hundred people after all .

When the lightnings dispersed, Mu Yi had already taken out his copper lamp and condensed mind strength in it . The copper lamp was already dazzling at that moment and looked like a small sun .

When the lights of the copper lamp reached the blood, crackling and spluttering sounds spread in the air . The flame of the copper lamp was unstable and flickered . It could vanish anytime .

Mu Yi released even more mind strength when he saw that and the flame became big again .

It continued flickering though . It looked extremely fragile and delicate, it could still go off anytime but this time, when it reached the remaining blood, half of the blood vanished .

The great leader in front of the wain looked astonished but he looked even greedier too . He started doing hand seals to condense mind strength .

“Soul Curse, die!”

Even though Mu Yi was ten zhang away, he still felt ice-cold .

Souls started emerging from the bodies which were lying on the ground . The souls condensed together halfway up in the air and turned into a strange word in the distance, “SOUL” .

Then, the great leader pointed at Mu Yi with his finger and the “SOUL” words moved towards Mu Yi extremely quickly .

“Boom!”

A loud explosion sound spread in the air . Mu Yi used the copper lamp to protect himself . A strong wind pushed Mu Yi back . The gigantic word didn’t disappear, it just became smaller, it was now half the size it was initially . But it continued moving towards Mu Yi .

Mu Yi could see that that spell was dangerous .

It made his mind strength unstable, chaotic . He needed to inhale and exhale a few times to calm down .

In normal circumstances, a few breaths could be considered as a very short time, but in such circumstances, it was extremely long, the time required to have a few breaths could be enough to get killed .

Mu Yi now felt helpless, but suddenly, the Bamboo Tree of Life in his hand became dazzling . Nian Nuer came out and the word bombarded her .

“No!”

shouted Mu Yi hastily .

To him, Nian Nuer was more important than him and he had seen how powerful the spell was . Even his copper lamp hadn’t destroyed it . Even if Nian Nuer had become a fierce ghost, she couldn’t withstand such an attack .

But it was too late anyway because when Mu Yi shouted, the spell had already collided with Nian Nuer .

Mu Yi and the enemy hadn’t exchanged any word but their attacks were explosive . Mu Yi was terribly worried about Nian Nuer though .

“Phwap!

Against all expectations, the big word broke apart when it collided with Nian Nuer, but she was also blown away and her body became blurry .

And while Nian Nuer had blocked the attack, Mu Yi’s mind strength had had time to stabilize . Finally, he could use it again . Without thinking, he transfered some strength from the Bamboo Tree of Life to Nian Nuer .

At the same time, the great leader by the wain shook violently and coughed blood . He looked completely astonished, he couldn’t believe it his eyes, Mu Yi was still alive .

He had been astonished by the lightnings, the copper lamp and the little silhouette which had blocked the “SOUL” word attack . He was just astonished . And he realized he had failed even though he was so close to success .

Even though that curse was extremely powerful, sacrificing many lives was necessary to use it . He had sacrificed a hundred people in vain . And now if he still wanted to kill Mu Yi, he could only rely on his own strength .

At that moment, Mu Yi inspected Nian Nuer, when he understood her state, he took a deep breath . She wasn’t as badly injured as he thought, maybe that it was due to the nature of the curse? Anyway, she’d be able to recover in a short time .

Then, Mu Yi raised his head and looked at the man by the wain . Mu Yi’s eyes were filled with murder .

The great leader didn’t wait for Mu Yi, he turned around and started escaping .

Mu Yi hesitated but finally, he decided not to chase him . He had used almost all his strength, even though he could still fight for a little bit longer, nobody knew, maybe that the great leader had set traps . Besides, Big Slave had also collapsed there . Mu Yi didn’t know if he was still alive .

Mu Yi ran to Big Slave, his body was red and he was shaking violently . His muscles kept twitching . He was breathing extremely quickly .

Big Slave had inhaled the blood just before even though Mu Yi had warned him . But that blood had risen so fast, Big Slave hadn’t had time to run away and he didn’t have a copper lamp to protect himself .

Magic figures took out two exorcism charms, that was the only thing he had to heal the negative effects of magic figures .

He threw the two exorcism charms at Big Slave, white lights flashed around him, and the charms expelled the redness from his body . Then the white lights dispersed .

Mu Yi took a deep breath when he saw the exorcism charms had worked, he was initially extremely worried they wouldn’t work . Now, the great leader had escaped .

He had many exorcism charms so it wasn’t a problem . He also tapped Big Slave’s shoulders and slowly, he came back to normal . His breathing also became stable again .

In the distance, people were astonished . Their hearts continued pounding even if the situation had calmed down .

Nobody would have thought Mu Yi was so strong . The great leader of the Octagon Organization had astonished them as well . They hadn’t thought that mysterious leader also practiced Taoism . Since when were Taoist cultivators so common? They had seen two in such a short time . That was incredible .

The two Taoist cultivators were extremely strong . People wouldn’t forget them easily . Nobody would dare make fun of Mu Yi after that battle .

Therefore, when Mu Yi gazed into the distance, many people were instantly panic-stricken .

He didn’t intend to attack them, he shouted and told them to tell everybody they knew about what had happened . Even though he hadn’t killed the great leader, at least, nobody would dare underestimate him .

And if anyone harbored evil intentions regarding him, they would first think of the Octagon Organization’s fate .

Big Slave didn’t need too long to recover . He quickly crawled back up and stood up .

Mu Yi also talked to the Bamboo Tree of Life . Even though Nian Nuer wasn’t badly injured, he felt extremely sad each time he recalled the “SOUL” word attack .

It was the first time Mu Yi saw such an attack, it was extremely strange, it was completely different from the magic figures he used .

“My knowledge is too limited . ” thought Mu Yi sighing . Even though he had a few precious treasures, he only knew magic figures and the stronger he became, the more he had the impression magic figures were not enough .

Even his five thunders charms were limited, he couldn’t use as many as he wished at once . And apart from exorcism charms and evil spirit slaying charms, he didn’t know much .

Apart from magic figures, the only thing Mu Yi could use in a battle was his punching technique . Even though it was enough to fight against ordinary enemies, if he bumped into other powerful Taoist cultivators, he would be in danger .

Unfortunately, the old Taoist Priest had only left those few things to him .

Mu Yi didn’t know why though, but he suddenly remembered the copper lamp, he remembered he had received some of the old Taoist Priest’s teachings from it . So, would he receive new knowledge each time he leveled up?

Mu Yi was a bit excited when he thought about that .
