Blood Contract Curse

"At the end of its strength?"

Gu Jinlai was stunned.

This word...

It sounds familiar.

The demon emperors in Chilong Territory said the same thing more than once before.

He slightly reduced the killing efficiency to make it easier to gather monsters together.

This time...

It was because he didn't want to use the indiscriminate attack method of nuclear fusion to destroy the Demon-Slaying Hall formation, fearing that the flames that would escape after the formation was destroyed would harm innocent people. So he stopped releasing nuclear fusion energy and switched to the relatively weaker lightning field.

This has been known Gu Jinlai.

Zhao Hua knew this as well.

After the energy release from nuclear fusion, he thought Duanmu Shan had won and killed Gu Jinlai, but it turned out that Duanmu Shan was actually at a disadvantage!

Their situation is extremely precarious.

Recalling the countless times Gu Jinlai when they swept through the Chilong Territory, unleashing top-tier divine Divine Ability containing terrifying light and intense heat, a hint of madness appeared in his eyes.

He helped Duanmu Shan deal with Gu Jinlai, and he would definitely not escape death.

If he were to watch Duanmu Shan die, she would leave the blood pact Curse on him, and he would then face pursuit from the entire Holy Dynasty, and even from the six great grotto heavens behind it.

Either way, it's death.

This predicament gradually drove the city lord of Wind and Rain City to madness. "Why are you forcing me! Why are you forcing me!"

"I told you, cooperating with Demonic Beasts is the only way to gain greater benefits and the only way out for our human race. The high-ranking officials of the Holy Dynasty only care about themselves. They don't care about our lives. They would rather give to foreign countries than to their own slaves! To them, it doesn't matter if we all die, as long as they can live and enjoy themselves."

At this moment, Wu Tianya's voice rang out. "Just like now, Duanmu Shan knows that you are going to your death by taking action against Gu Jinlai, but she still forces you to die. She even threatens to kill you if you don't die for her. Under these circumstances, you still have to endure it!?"

Zhao Hua's breathing became rapid, and his eyes turned bloodshot.

"As the city lord of Wind and Rain City, if you are willing to pledge allegiance to the Demon God behind me with the method of setting up the city's protective array, he will definitely protect your safety! With the Demon God here, so what if you are Curse with a blood pact? Would the people of the Holy Dynasty's royal family dare to act recklessly in the Demon God's kingdom?"

Wu Tianya's voice, like the whisper of a demon, echoed in Zhao Hua's ears, "As for your desire to rule the people and continue to be the high and mighty city lord? That's very simple! There are also a large number of humans in the Demon God's kingdom. These humans also need to be governed by humans. As someone who made great contributions by bringing the array diagram to join you, it is not difficult for you to continue to govern a city. You can be the city lord anywhere. Why should you risk your life for the six great grotto heavens that do not care about our lives?"

"Formation diagram..."

A flicker of struggle crossed Zhao Hua's eyes.

The defensive formations used in the thirty-six outer cities of the Holy Dynasty were all of the same type.

Although the divine weapon is the core of the city's protective formation, and the royal family has the ability to bypass the city lord and directly control the formation, but...

If the formation layout diagram is leaked, the Demonic Beasts will be able to target the defensive formations of the thirty-six outer cities.

But once the power of the formation is lost...

Any demon emperor, with his elite forces, could conquer a giant city with a population of over 100 million.

With the Holy Dynasty lacking sufficient Immortals to guard every city, the entire Holy Dynasty will be forced to shrink its defenses and relocate to the inner ring.

In this process, countless families will be torn apart, and countless lives will be lost.

Although Zhao Hua was ruthless in achieving his goals, he still retained a sliver of humanity...

But at this moment, Duanmu Shan's divine sense surged forth once more. "Zhao Hua! Are you deaf?! I am the sixth princess of the Holy Dynasty! The future heir to the throne! If I die, your Zhao Family, every single one of you, will be buried with me!"

These words caused Zhao Hua, who was barely maintaining his composure, to open his eyes wide in anger and roar, "You bitch, shut up!"

He stared intently at the Demon-Slaying Hall, his divine sense surging, his emotions filled with madness. "If it weren't for you, you despicable woman, coveting the inheritance of Liyang Cave Heaven, colluding with Jin Fantian, and bypassing me, the city lord, to attack Gu Jinlai, how could you have driven yourself to this point!? Now that Jin Fantian and the others are dead, and you are about to be killed by Gu Jinlai, you finally remember me!? You want to force me to fight Gu Jinlai to the death, to die in your place!? There's no such thing as a free lunch!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Huazhi felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration, and the gloom in his heart was swept away at that moment.

He suddenly burst into laughter. "You bitch, go to hell! I don't care about any princesses, I don't care about any princesses! I've rebelled! Hahahaha!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he forcibly mobilized the power of the city's protective array, firmly reinforcing the Demon-Binding Array of the Demon-Slaying Hall.

In an instant, the formation, which was originally on the verge of collapse, was quickly stabilized.

Therefore, they would not hesitate to sacrifice the energy stored in the city's protective array, even if it meant consuming twice as much energy.

"Zhao Hua!"

From within the formation came Duanmu Shan's unwilling shouts.

"Walk!"

After gathering the power of the formation, Zhao Hua immediately rushed towards the City Lord Mansion.

"Lord Zhao has made a wise decision."

Wu Tianya caught up with Zhao Hua and cupped his hands in greeting. "Let's leave immediately before Gu Jinlai out, without delay!"

Zhao Hua glared at Wu Tianya.

Considering that he would have to go through Wu Tianya's route to see that demon god, he ultimately said nothing and instructed Zhao Liang: "Notify your trusted men to evacuate quickly. Evacuate as many as you can. As for us, don't worry about anything. Leave Fengyu City as quickly as possible."

"Yes."

Although Zhao Liang was somewhat reluctant to join forces with Demonic Beasts, once Zhao Hua was burdened with the blood oath Curse of the royal family, there would obviously be no place for them in the Holy Dynasty. In order to survive, he had no choice but to agree.

The Demon-Slaying Hall is shrouded in an array.

Since both Duanmu Shan and Zhao Hua communicated through divine sense, neither of them could perceive the Gu Jinlai, but they suddenly sensed that the Demon-Slaying Hall formation, which was on the verge of collapse, had been reinforced.

But the sixth princess in front of us suddenly went mad.

"Zhao Hua!"

She let out a hateful scream.

However, having witnessed the destructive power of the lightning field Gu Jinlai as somewhat unsatisfactory, and to avoid wasting too much time and causing unforeseen changes, the Eternal Furnace within his body was activated once again.

This time, he directly unleashed the Divine Light of the Departing Fire, which he was not yet very proficient in.

Although not yet proficient, when energy was drawn from the Eternal Furnace of Perfection to form a huge beam of light several meters in diameter that shone on the golden bell supported by Duanmu Shan, the golden bell still began to melt at a visible speed.

"Ah! No! Stop! Ancient Martial Saint, stop now!"

This scene instantly amplified Duanmu Shan's fear to its extreme.

The arrogance of a royal princess was gone from her face.

My heart is filled with regret.

Gu Jinlai, this branch has been able to escape the pursuit of Demonic Beasts to the Holy Land and even conquer the Chilong Territory. It is obviously extremely powerful. Why would she be so bewitched by Jin Fantian and travel thousands of miles to Fengyu City to die?

"Gu Jinlai, killing me has brought you no benefit. On the contrary, you will be Curse by our royal family. With this Curse, unless you attain the True Immortal Dao Fruit, you will face relentless pursuit by royal experts no matter where you flee... If you release me, I promise I will never harbor any thoughts of revenge for what happened today. Furthermore, I will do my utmost to gather the three thousand portions of Thunder Magnetic Essence you requested!"

No one has spoken Gu Jinlai.

The energy of the eternal furnace is continuously poured into the divine light of the fire.

The golden bell that Duanmu Shan held up was like a space battleship being targeted by a giant laser cannon.

Golden light burst forth.

One breath, two breaths...

Even though Duanmu Shan unleashed the full power of that rhombus-shaped divine weapon, the Divine Light of the Blazing Fire still melted away the greatly enhanced artifact after three breaths.

"No!"

In the instant the golden bell melted, Duanmu Shan knew she was doomed. With a roar filled with resentment, she suddenly exploded into a cloud of blood mist. "Gu Jinlai, Zhao Hua, the Holy Lord and all the Supreme Lords will not let you go. I will be waiting for you in the netherworld!"

Amidst this roar filled with resentment, the blood-red light split in two at an incredible speed, one part shooting towards the Gu Jinlai, and the other part shooting towards the Demon-Slaying Hall shrouded by the array.

"Um!?"

Gu Jinlai, with a mere thought, lightning from the lightning field can strike down at near the speed of light.

However, when these lightning bolts collided with the blood mist, they actually passed right through the blood mist, as if the blood mist didn't exist at all.

"This is..."

These crimson spiritual energies traversed the void, instantly staining those of Gu Jinlai.

However, just as Gu Jinlai felt that this power was familiar, his forcibly sealed True Spirit seemed to be stimulated and suddenly released a burst of spiritual light.

Under the illumination of the spiritual light, the blood mist melted away instantly, like ice and snow exposed to the blazing sun.

"This is a method similar to that of a Daoist priest, directly corrupting the life force of others!"

It can be quickly identified from Gu Jinlai.

The next second, he suddenly realized something. "Oh no!"

The True Spirit, instinctively retaliating, was once again forcefully sealed away.

But obviously...

The movement of the True Spirit has once again drawn the attention of a terrifying being.

A surge of energy rippled through the depths of the spirit world, and a terrifying, almost spiritual force rapidly turned its gaze toward this direction, attempting to descend.

Ruled by Aries.

Although more than half a year has passed, for a being that has no concept of "death" and is only lost in the spirit world, half a year is so short that it is just a fleeting moment.

Throughout this period, he never gave up his perception of the Gu Jinlai.

Currently, those who have been struck by the blood pact Curse Gu Jinlai have had their True Spirit shattered by their instinct to detect the pollution, immediately attracting the attention of the Aries Star Lord.

Once a spirit being spanning thousands of meters descends in its true form, the devastating disaster it brings will be even more terrifying than the arrival of a Spirit Lord. The spirituality of all living beings in the entire Wind and Rain City will be instantly devoured by this terrifying existence.

Yes!

If an entity like the Lord of Aries were to forcibly descend into the spirit world in its true form without a suitable vessel, the destruction it would cause to the outside world would be far more terrifying than the passage of a Spirit Lord or a Void Beast.

Gu Jinlai, it is clear that no one intends to willingly become its vessel.

He took a deep breath and quickly sealed his True Spirit.

The Demonic Spirit tempered the True Spirit, causing all fluctuations to cease and no longer leak out.

Immediately, the "peeping" gaze dissipated somewhat.

Even so, he could still feel an indescribable terror gripping his heart.

It seems that in another world, a terrifying being is constantly wandering, and at any moment it will suddenly sense his presence and forcibly descend.
