Annihilating the Enemy

The bizarre spiritual attack had barely entered Tang Jiu's eyes when the blood-colored Heavenly Curse Seal seemed to come alive, immediately beginning to devour that unusual energy.

Tang Jiu's mind cleared at that very moment.

The Heavenly Curse Seal could actually absorb spiritual energy!

In other words, all spiritual attacks would be absorbed by the Heavenly Curse Seal and stored as energy to activate it.

A moment later, one of the three blood-red commas seemed to glow with a crimson radiance. Tang Jiu understood that this comma had finished charging.

At the same time, a realization surfaced in his mind.

Once one comma was fully charged, he could enter the Curse Seal One state once.

Once all three commas were fully charged, he could enter the Curse Seal Two state once.

Having understood everything, Tang Jiu finally looked up at the Amethyst Spirit Master, who was still laughing wildly. The man had sunk into his own crazed fantasies and was grinning like an idiot, so Tang Jiu asked, "What's got you so happy? You look happy enough to become a fool."

"I killed Tang Hao's son all by myself. I'm about to become a White-Clad Archbishop! Hahaha! Tell me, shouldn't I be happy?"

Hearing someone ask, the Amethyst Spirit Master immediately and generously shared his joy. But in the next second, he came to his senses and pointed at Tang Jiu as though he had seen a ghost. "Why aren't you dead? Impossible! That was a spiritual attack!"

Yeah, how was that possible?

Spiritual attacks had always been mysterious. Even Flender had seen few people capable of spiritual attacks. He had encountered people who could create illusions, but those who could directly attack the soul were exceedingly rare.

"Can't be helped. My talent's just too good! I'm immune to spiritual attacks!"

"What? Immune to spiritual attacks?!"

The Amethyst Spirit Master nearly spat blood. He had heard of Fire Immunity and ice immunity, but he had never heard of anyone being immune to spiritual attacks. Was there any justice left in the world?

But he had no time to think. Tang Jiu beat his wings and lunged at him.

"NO!"

The Amethyst Spirit Master screamed. Before he even had time to react, pain ripped through his body. Tang Jiu had already appeared before him, and his spear-like ant leg had pierced his kidney.

The Amethyst Spirit Master was a spiritual-type Spirit Master, and his Spiritual Power was exceptionally strong. He did not die immediately. Suddenly, he grabbed Tang Jiu's ant leg and sneered, "You actually dare kill me like this? Your devouring speed already reached the limit your body can bear. Don't you feel like you're about to explode and die now? Die with me, idiot! Hahaha!"

The Amethyst Spirit Master laughed madly, coughing up blood in great mouthfuls.

Tang Jiu indeed felt an evil energy entering his body. It was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing his meridians, already at their limit, to completely shatter!

Tang Jiu's skin split open, blood seeping out. His Soul Power flickered erratically, and the muscles all over his body alternately swelled and contracted. These were the signs of an imminent bodily explosion!

"You brat! You're courting death!"

Flender's face turned deathly pale. He inwardly cursed Tang Jiu for being an idiot. He knew his body had reached its limit, yet he still used his ant legs to attack. Couldn't he just smash the enemy to death with a hammer?

He swooped down at high speed and anxiously circled Tang Jiu once. Finally, he slapped his thigh and roared, "Hold on a little longer! I'm going to get your teacher!"

With that, he stopped concealing his strength. Activating his Martial Soul, seven soul rings lit up as he shot toward Nuoding Academy.

"Spirit Sage!"

The Amethyst Spirit Master's pupils contracted. Flander's strength had startled him. He had never expected that the spineless man from before would actually be a Spirit Sage, and that he had been watching the battlefield all along!

Then he burst into crazed laughter again. "You're the stupidest person I've ever seen! You had a Spirit Sage backing you up, yet you still got yourself killed! Hahaha!"

"Is that so? What a pity. Who said I was going to explode and die?"

"Let me show you my special Soul Fusion Skill—Heavenly Curse Seal One, activate!"

Tang Jiu immediately entered the Curse Seal One state. The three blood-red commas on the Evil Ring Devouring Heaven Ant's forehead spread across Tang Jiu's body like crimson clouds. Half his face was covered in blood-colored markings, giving off an exceedingly evil aura!

An even darker, colder presence spread outward. Tang Jiu's Soul Power and physical qualities began to surge instantly, his Soul Power rising by � levels in one leap.

The strength of his body also increased greatly. His shattered meridians began repairing themselves in a strange manner.

At that moment, Tang Jiu was like a dark sovereign, his cold gaze fixed teasingly upon the Amethyst Spirit Master.

"I should thank you. If not for you, I wouldn't have been able to activate this special skill! So, I'll mercifully send you on your way!"

"You...!"

The Amethyst Spirit Master's eyes widened. Fear, rage, sorrow—he had thought others were fools, only to realize that he himself was the pig-brained idiot!

He spat out another mouthful of blood.

The Amethyst Spirit Master's head tilted to one side, and he died completely!

After � seconds of battle, the level 44 Assault Type Weapon Spirit Sect Master, the Amethyst Spirit Master, was dead!

Thus, Tang Jiu alone had faced Spirit Hall's Enforcement Team and annihilated them all!

Tang Jiu could not help throwing back his head and howling. That battle had been exhilarating!

After laughing, Tang Jiu swept through the corpses like a whirlwind, looting their possessions. They were truly loaded. The four members of Spirit Hall's Enforcement Team had contributed � Gold Soul Coins, while the Nuoding City Lord had contributed � thousand Gold Soul Coins.

"Faster, faster, Flender!"

Master's voice rang out anxiously from the sky. Flander had grabbed him and flown straight over, but after seeing the situation below, Master said unhappily, "Flender, your Martial Soul is a Cat Owl. Are you blind? Does Little Jiu look even remotely like he's about to explode?"

Hearing Master's voice, Tang Jiu grinned and said, "The Big Owl is too ignorant! Killing these people was as easy as killing chickens."

"You brat, just keep showing off!"

Flender curled his lip. Though he was shocked beyond measure, he pretended not to care.

When he saw the corpses scattered across the ground, his eyes lit up. He rushed over to search them, moving with incredible speed and practiced skill. A moment later, he let out a miserable cry. "Tang Jiu, you bastard! I went to get Little Gang to save you out of the goodness of my heart, and you didn't even leave me a hair!"

"Who told you not to help? Why the hell would I leave you anything?" Tang Jiu crossed his arms.

"You brat! Believe it or not, I'll hammer you!" Flender was so angry his lungs nearly burst. At least leave me something!

Master ignored the furious Flender and said sternly, "Little Jiu, quickly cancel the Self Spirit Fusion Skill!"

Hearing the severity in Master's tone, Tang Jiu did not hesitate. He immediately dissolved the Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

But the moment he returned to normal, he became like a deflated balloon. His body was terribly weak, and he staggered, nearly falling over.

At that moment, his Soul Power Level was actually dropping continuously.

Level 27... Level 26... Level 21... Level 20!

Even at level �, it did not stop. Level 19...

"What's going on?" Tang Jiu froze. He had never heard that Soul Power Levels could actually decrease!

In the end, Tang Jiu's Soul Power fell to level � before the decline finally stopped. Yet in just one minute, his Soul Power had dropped by � levels!

"Hahaha! Heaven's will! You've done too many bad things—this is your retribution!" Flender watched with immense satisfaction. That'll teach you to show off, brat!

Master, however, wore a solemn expression. He did not believe in retribution. A sharp glint flashed through his wise eyes, and he grabbed Tang Jiu's arm, asking urgently, "Has your physical constitution improved or declined? What is your base strength now?"
