Curse Technique

Guy demonstrated to everyone in the Underground Palace what it meant to have "the best swordsmanship in the Number One Under Heaven."

Use skill to overcome all methods.

Given the chance to draw his sword, no one can stand a chance against him.

There will inevitably be death and injury upon meeting face to face.

Whether it's an invincible heavy armor user or Extraordinary Profession skilled cloth armor user who moves nimbly, as long as any opening is revealed, his longsword can accurately and cunningly pierce that spot.

No matter how exquisite or Transcendent the enemy's abilities are, under that sharp and incisive sword, they can't even unleash one tenth of their full combat power. The moment they reveal a flaw, they will die!

Top-tier combat intuition, impeccable swordsmanship, and decades of rich combat experience—in the eyes of a master swordsman like Guy, these noble knights were full of flaws.

Guy was already Fifth-tier Expert, and his understanding of swordsmanship and the solidity of his battle aura already surpassed 99% of the Transcendent individuals in the world. Now, his killing intent is even stronger, and magic shields, Bodyguard Battle Qi, and elemental armor can all be broken with a single sword strike.

That's how brutal it is to face a top master. It's a life-or-death battle. There are no fancy martial arts techniques to clash with. As long as you find the opening, your opponent won't give you a chance to survive.

After Guy revealed the "Eight-Armed Ksitigarbha" technique again, he was unstoppable. He had no intention of getting entangled with the knights, but went straight for Prince Harper and the group of high-ranking members of the Rosas Family.

These people are the real culprits.

He should be killed.

Not far away, Rein, who had already taken advantage of the chaos to sneak up to the second floor of the Underground Palace, watched with great interest.

"Is this what they call skill-based suppression?"

As Rein watched, he thought to himself, "Wow, that's awesome!"

He himself could indeed break through the "hundred-man formation," but it would definitely not be so easy; as for the "thousand-man formation," he would be somewhat helpless.

This kind of legionary battle formation with continuous supplies can wear down even Fifth-tier Expert. It would take thousands of consecutive punches from each individual to kill them all. And the opponents aren't just wooden figures; they are ruthless Transcendent as well.

But for a master like Guy, it was completely ignored.

No, it should be said that he can easily and accurately find flaws in Guy's "invincible swordsmanship" at this moment. This kind of battle formation, which even the "Ten Great Legends" could restrain for a long time, is like a dragon whose tiny, almost imperceptible scale can be found at a glance. He then tears open the flaw, magnifying it infinitely until the entire battle formation becomes irreparable.

He, alone with his sword, was unstoppable.

"Guards! Guards! Stop that guy!"

The higher-ups panicked. Seeing such a killing god attacking them, they all turned pale with fright.

No one could have imagined that the "good-for-nothing" who would never fight back no matter how much he was bullied would actually possess such terrifying strength.

Seeing this, they also felt some regret for provoking such a killing god.

Putting aside the previous beatings and humiliations, they know that their current actions are absolutely unforgivable.

The older generation still vividly remembers Guy, the "Sword of Justice" who once hated evil as if it were his enemy.

How could they not know that guy's style of doing things?

He would never hesitate to kill anyone who committed evil, and he would not care in the slightest about so-called noble titles, status, or power.

The law can't punish nobles, but that guy can.

Therefore, Guy was once a "beacon of light for ordinary people," a symbol of justice in the eyes of the common folk.

But now, these guys in City of Radiance have become nobles, the source of evil, and have begun to fear the "scythe of justice" hanging over their heads.

However, given the current situation, the Rosas Family leaders knew that there was only one way to go: kill Guy, or be killed by him!

There were also experts in the Knights Order, and the experienced battlefield commander discovered Guy's weakness.

No, to be precise, it's a "weak point".

That's Guy's physical body!

He had been tormented by the toxins for over a decade, and his muscles had atrophied almost entirely. Even if Rein were to detoxify him, the lost muscles could not possibly recover overnight.

For close-combat Transcendent like swordsmen, muscle strength is especially important.

Even though Guy follows the path of "controlling air currents," he still needs physical strength and power to support it.

The lethality of sword techniques is directly related to "strength" and "qi," and they complement each other. Roughly speaking: 10 points of fighting qi x 10 points of strength = 100 combat power.

The lower one's strength, the more battle qi one needs to expend to achieve the same level of lethality.

Guy's body has only recovered about 20% of its strength, which means that each of his sword moves requires more than five times the amount of battle qi.

This terrifying consumption is not only due to the total amount of battle qi leaking out like a punctured balloon; each time you gather qi, it also puts a huge strain on your body.

The more powerful the move, the greater the burden!

Even though his exaggerated, waterfall-like sword energy seemed inexhaustible, it was impossible for it to be consumed indefinitely.

Although Guy's momentum grew stronger with each kill, his fighting spirit visibly diminished after he wiped out the thousand-man group.

The commander, recognizing this weakness, devised a tactical plan, shouting, "Stop him! His fighting spirit is limited. Form ranks and wear him down! Hundred-man regiments, charge as a group! Don't give him any chance to breathe!"

"Charge! Anyone who dares to retreat will be court-martialed!"

"Rush!"

"."

Knowing that defensive formations are useless, then let's just use human lives to make up for it!

The hundred-man squads charged at Guy again and again without regard for their own lives, giving him no chance to catch his breath.

In the blink of an eye, one hundred-man squad after another was defeated and routed.

The swordsman's attack was so fierce that the second floor of the Underground Palace was instantly turned into a slaughterhouse, with severed limbs and fragments of flesh scattered everywhere.

Guy, alone with his sword, wreaked havoc.

However, with each hundred-man group he wiped out, Guy's fighting spirit visibly diminished by a large margin.

And there are one hundred such "groups of one hundred" in the Underground Palace!

Before long, the entire underground palace was engulfed in flames.

Not only Guy, but also the more than two thousand Civilian Scavengers took up arms and fought back, engaging in a fierce gun battle with the Rosas Family.

Thump, thump, thump

The deafening roar of gunfire echoed throughout the palace.

They knew this was their only chance to survive. Right now, the High-tier Extraordinary noble knights were protecting the Rosas Family's elite members, and the elite troops were surrounding and killing Guy.

Although Guy is powerful, it's absolutely impossible for him to kill all 10,000 people by himself.

If they stood by and watched Guy be killed by Hao Hao's drained fighting spirit, and remained indifferent, then ultimately, death awaited them, this group of Civilian Scavengers.

The fighting strength of more than two thousand people should not be underestimated. With two forces restraining each other, the ten thousand noble knights also seemed to be having some difficulty.

As the battle turned increasingly unfavorable, Prince Harper's expression turned ruthless, and he directly ordered, "Kill all of these guys!"

They're just a bunch of lowly tools; even if it delays the exploration of the ruins, they absolutely cannot be allowed to live.

Upon hearing this order, the High-tier Extraordinary Rosas Family, who were hiding behind the Knights Order, also took action.

It must be said that when it comes to group killing, magic-based Transcendent have an innate advantage.

Those who use poison are even worse.

The Poison Master is inherently at a disadvantage when facing a top-tier swordsman. Since his poison cannot break through the opponent's battle aura defense, all his skills are completely useless.

Gisela was also extremely shrewd. Seeing Guy's invincible demeanor, she naturally knew that she was no match for him.

Although she possessed the [Void Ten Thousand Poisons Hand] technique and was confident she could injure Guy, she wasn't sure she could survive his sword strike when she actually attacked.

With sword energy of that level, the "Poison Mud Armor" offered her absolutely no sense of security.

So she quickly switched to a defensive stance, her body oozing green poisonous mud, and in the blink of an eye, she transformed into a "Mud Monster" more than three meters tall, charging towards the Civilian Scavengers.

The "Poison Mud Armor" is impervious to blades and spears, but the splattered poison can reap the lives of hunters in large numbers.

Gisela single-handedly managed to hold off these two thousand Civilian Scavengers.

Wherever she went, a large number of low-level Transcendent would fall like wheat being harvested, and under the influence of the deadly poison, they had almost no power to fight back except to scatter and flee.

On the other hand, the only fifth-tier mage in the team, the [Curse Master] Borlag, had already begun casting spells in secret.

Before anyone knew it, he was holding a scarecrow the size of his palm in his hand.

After chanting the incantation for nearly a minute, Guy's facial features strangely appeared on the white cloth pasted on the scarecrow's face.

"Curse Technique" are different from other spells. This spell is more concealed, and its release method is impossible to trace, making it impossible to defend against.

After that string of gibberish incantations, the scarecrow's energy became connected with Guy's, and it made the exact same jumping motion in Guy's palm, as if it had come to life.

At this moment, seeing that the spell was complete, Borlag uttered a soft shout, "Freeze!"

As soon as those two words were uttered, the scarecrow instantly froze, standing there motionless.

Strangely, the scarecrow stopped abruptly, Guy, who had already rushed hundreds of meters away from Prince Harper, also suddenly stopped swinging his sword. It was as if he had been controlled by an invisible force and was completely unable to move.

Upon seeing this, the high-ranking members of the Rosas Family were overjoyed.

Finally, the "Curse Technique," on which we had placed high hopes, proved its worth.

"Haha, it worked!"

"Archmage Borlag, your Curse Technique are indeed as formidable as they seem. Once caught in your [Grass Ghost Spirit Fixing Technique], even a fifth-tier Transcendent won't be able to escape. Guy is doomed."

"."

Seeing Guy restrained and unable to move, the overwhelming sense of impending death that had been suffocating them was relieved, as if the invisible hand that had been gripping their fate by the throat had loosened, giving them a chance to catch their breath.

Seeing that the spell had succeeded, a hint of joy flashed in Borlag's eyes. He thought to himself, "Now, he's doomed!"

This spell was indeed his strongest control technique. It was also because of the knights' desperate charge that he had such a long opportunity to cast the spell.

When the soul is stilled, the body naturally becomes rigid.

Moreover, this move was also a trial before the actual surgery was performed.

If immobilization is successful, it means that the other person's soul is not stronger than one's own.

This means that truly deadly Curse Technique can be used!

Borlag didn't dare delay; the "Mind-Stabilizing Technique" might not be able to control a powerhouse of that level for long. Just as he immobilized Guy, he pulled out a blood-stained red needle and stabbed it straight into the scarecrow's heart.

The needle prick was very difficult, as if it had consumed a great deal of his soul power, and Borlag's forehead was instantly covered with sweat.

And it was this needle that pierced the scarecrow's chest, and in reality, the Curse Technique manifested itself. Upon closer inspection, a gray "spear" of death energy had materialized on Guy's chest not far away, and slowly sank into his body.

There was no bloodshed, but it struck straight to the soul.

In that instant, Guy felt as if his soul had left his body, and the scene before him blurred. The next second, his blood and qi stagnated, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing Guy cough up blood and be severely injured, the Rosas Family was overjoyed.

Borlag, the number one curse mage in City of Radiance and the pinnacle of the "Curse Sequence," is known to all for his methods.

One move can stun the mind, another can severely damage the soul; even Fifth-tier Expert would be severely injured if not killed.

The field commander saw this opportunity and shouted, "That guy is wounded! Elite Regiment, move in and kill him!"

Only then did the High-tier Extraordinary lurking in the crowd dare to show themselves, and one by one they rushed towards the stunned Guy and attacked him.

The situation in the battle took a sharp turn for the worse.

On one side, the "poisonous hand" Gisela rampaged through the Civilian Scavengers, leaving corpses strewn across the land.

On the other side, the unstoppable Guy was also severely injured by the "Curse Technique," and his momentum seemed to have been greatly diminished.

Now, the noble knights have deployed their best warriors; in the next second, Guy will likely be beheaded. This sudden battle may be drawing to a close.

However, just when everyone thought Guy was doomed, an unexpected incident occurred!

The man holding the scarecrow in his hand, Borlag, suddenly changed his expression and exclaimed in alarm, "Oh no!"

Upon closer inspection, everyone saw that the scarecrow with the blood needle stuck in its chest, which was in his palm, was actually struggling!

A moment later, it seemed to break free from the constraints of that invisible force, and the facial features on the white paper changed from stiff to a cold smile.

Most curses are ultimately evil spells that take a dark approach.

In the distance, Guy, with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, looked up and stared intently at the terrified-looking Borlag.

The moment their eyes met, he uttered four words: "Evil Cannot Suppress Righteousness!"

In an instant, Guy's eyes shone brightly, and the golden light emanating from his majestic half-body surged several times over, like a volcanic eruption. At the same time, a powerful aura of righteousness burst forth from his body, sweeping across the entire hall.

No one noticed what had happened; they only felt that the dark, dusty hall, which had been sealed for countless years, suddenly had its turbid air swept away, and their minds became clear.

But Borlag instantly sensed something, his expression froze, and he was so frightened that his soul left his body: My life is over!

Before he could do anything, the color drained from his face like a receding tide.

The backlash from the spell had already swept over his mind.

It was a backlash that filled him with despair and was completely irresistible. In that instant, he felt as if his soul, like a glass statue, had been struck by a heavy object and shattered into pieces.

The Curse Technique is indeed very strong, and their methods are more troublesome than those of ordinary Transcendent, but the cost of casting spells is also considerable.

Curse Technique are somewhat similar to prophecy spells. The higher the Extraordinary Rank of the target, the greater the price to pay. Moreover, if the spell fails, the consequences of the backlash will be even greater.

Just now, Borlag was determined to kill Guy, so he used the most vicious [Soul Shattering Thorn] technique.

This move can shatter the soul of Transcendent of the same level, causing the target to die instantly.

But failure brings a tenfold backlash.

He couldn't figure out why this move hadn't killed Guy, but reality didn't give him time to think about it. The tenfold backlash from the spell was a damage that no fifth-tier Transcendent could withstand.

With lifeless eyes, Borlag was already dead, his body lying stiffly on the ground.

With a loud "bang," a cloud of dust was kicked up.

With Borlag dead, Rein was secretly watching the battle from a distance, breathed a sigh of relief.

He was completely helpless against the Curse Technique, and in that crowd, he had no confidence that he could save Guy.

Now that Guy is out of danger, although he is seriously injured, I no longer need to worry about him.

Now that the enemy camp is in complete chaos, Rein feels that he can do something else.

For example, rescuing Nareta.

Thanks to 'Shikou Shiyang' and 'tanglong' for their generous support.
