Qingxuan's head was severed again.
Qingxuan: "..."
Chi Yu laughed. "Forbidden Curses are very rigid. Your attack on me could kill me, so its operating logic is that you have to die too."
A complicated expression appeared on Qingxuan's cool, handsome face, showing a little annoyance as well as wariness, though his voice remained calm. "You can't kill me."
Chi Yu said, "I can't kill you, but the poison in your body will kill you sooner or later."
Qingxuan finally realized that he had come prepared today. Such painstaking scheming truly made him see Chi Yu in a new light.
The Forbidden Curse kept pouring out of Chi Yu, perfectly replicating the Spiritual Power with which Qingxuan had attacked him. Qingxuan could not block it with his magical sword, because the Forbidden Curse passed through his Spiritual Power and sword to cut directly into his body.
Such efficient attacks, without a single opening, instead allowed Qingxuan to understand the mechanism of Xie Xiyi's Forbidden Curse within a few exchanges-
With every attack from the Forbidden Curse, his Spiritual Power, innate constitution, aptitude, lifespan, and even fortune diminished.

Qingxuan made a swift decision. He stopped resisting, exposed his vital points, and deliberately met the attack, letting his body die at once. Then his Nascent Soul Spirit shot out with lightning speed and fled.
Chi Yu immediately gave chase and reached out to grab him, but a surge of spiritual pressure from Qingxuan's Nascent Soul Spirit froze him in place.
