As a Saint Realm Voodoo Master, he had a powerful immunity to curses. In just two breaths, the black mist shrouding the mage's head rapidly dissipated.
His sanity returned.
Bang!
Guan Ya struck first. She raised her gun, aimed in an instant, and pulled the trigger. Smoke spewed from the long barrel.
The mage, who had just regained his senses, suddenly jerked backward as though someone had struck him over the head with a club. His forehead cracked, the hard carapace splitting as thick green fluid gushed out.
After shattering the enemy's defenses with one shot, Guan Ya immediately took out half a tube of diluted life essence and held it in her palm, ready to inject it at any moment in case he used his injuries as a medium to cast a curse.
Fortunately, she was surrounded by teammates she could trust.
The instant the gunshot rang out, Queen removed the silver hoop from her earlobe and hurled it with all her strength.
The silver ring spun toward the mage. Upon touching his burly two-meter-tall body, it swiftly transformed into a ring of water, passed through his flesh, and suddenly tightened.
This effectively restricted his movements and interrupted the curse he had been about to cast.
Seizing the opportunity created by their teammate—or enemy—Li Xianzong and Zhang Yuanqing lunged at the mage from front and back.
The former held steel nails in one hand and a butterfly knife in the other. The latter wielded the Demon Subduing Pestle in one hand and the Bloodthirsty Blade in the other.
Both possessed weapons of the Bewitching Demon, which came with armor-piercing effects capable of breaking through the hard carapace.
Just then, the mage bound by two water rings dropped to his knees and began muttering under his breath.
Whether by coincidence
