Revenge! (First Update!)

Unlike the lightning-fast curse of the Astral Evil Spirit, the Astral Spirit, Curse Death's curse was rather slow.

A curse should have been intangible and impossible to block or defend against. But thanks to the special perception granted by Curse-Reversal Strike, Xia Lun could clearly see its entire trajectory.

Like a venomous snake lurking in tall grass, the purple glow of the curse wound through the air, while a dazzling flurry of runes scattered from it like seeds shaken off the snake's body.

But the curse's circling lasted only a few breaths. In an instant, it snapped taut like a bowstring, accelerating and expanding into a vast net that fell toward Xia Lun's face!

"Whoosh—"

A cold, clear whistle rose as the blade cut through the air, and a chilling flash of steel slashed into the deep-purple curse.

The instant they touched, the curse, swollen into a net, collapsed along the blade into a purple thread. Xia Lun dropped his wrist, rolled his shoulder to shed the force, hooked his toes against the vehicle, and launched himself off it. The purple thread whipped around and shot straight toward Curse Death in the woods!

White Line stared blankly at Xia Lun. Before she could get out the words "Watch out, an ambush," he had already lunged away.

"Stay out of this. Leave it to me." Xia Lun tossed the words over his shoulder and charged straight at Curse Death.

Before Curse Death could react, the curse slammed into her face. With a muffled squelch of flesh, veins bulged across her face, and dense purple runes crawled over it like ants.

"Hiss—"

The runes ate into Curse Death's body at once, as though her face had been doused in sulfuric acid.

Her deathly pale skin, yellowed fat, and blood-red muscle melted away
