Chapter 1500: Curse Counter-Attack

Daggers, dolls, curse talismans, rings...

The moment these artifacts touched Suxi’s palm, the curse spread instantly. It was unclear which artifact had taken effect, but Suxi’s palm directly turned into a pool of foul-smelling blood!

Suxi screamed, half of his arm already gone. That pile of cursed artifacts clattered to the ground, still emitting an extremely eerie aura.

"What the hell are these things!"

Suxi had never seen such a bizarre situation. He looked up at Jiang Xiaohua, who was frozen in mid-air.

At the same time, the chess pieces stuffed into Jiang Xiaohua’s body exploded simultaneously, but Jiang Xiaohua’s body wasn't blown to ashes as he had expected...

Jiang Xiaohua just burped lightly.

Suxi: ???

Having lost an arm, Suxi was clearly truly enraged. Since he couldn't hurt this guy’s physical body, he would go straight for the soul!

His figure vanished instantly, and when he reappeared, he was already on the chessboard in front of Jiang Xiaohua.

"[Quake]—!!"

Suxi formed a seal with one hand, his voice like thunder.

The next second, Jiang Xiaohua’s vision blurred. He felt as if he had been hit hard in the chest by a sledgehammer, and his vision detached from the back of his head...

At this moment, he saw his own back, the chessboard beneath his feet, and the grim, cold light in Suxi’s eyes.

The moment Jiang Xiaohua’s soul left his body, Suxi formed a seal again!

A pitch-black Soul-Driving Chain shot out and pierced the chest of Jiang Xiaohua’s soul!

Crack—

The chain made a soft sound. As Suxi pulled back, Jiang Xiaohua’s soul was actually dragged out of his body and floated in front of Suxi.

Jiang Xiaohua’s physical body lost its support and hit the chessboard with a thud, motionless like a corpse.

From Suxi’s attack to Jiang Xiaohua’s soul being detained, the whole process took no more than two seconds. Suxi was indeed wary of this guy’s bizarre curses, but when it came to manipulating souls, he had enough confidence in himself.

Suxi released the Chess God Path ghost, letting it float back to the Underworld River. He looked at Jiang Xiaohua’s soul beside him and said faintly:

"The curse on your physical body is indeed very powerful..."

"Unfortunately, now your soul is just my accessory."

Jiang Xiaohua’s soul was wrapped in the chain, floating beside Suxi like a tethered dog, but there was no panic on his face; instead, a smile appeared:

"Who is whose accessory... we don't know yet."

Suxi was stunned.

The next second, a strong purple hue erupted from the pupils of Jiang Xiaohua’s soul. He grabbed the chain that had pierced his chest, and a curse carved into his soul was poured back into Suxi’s body, using the chain as a carrier!!

[I will feel pain forever, I will remember sorrow forever, I will never forget]

Unprecedented pain, like a surging wave, directly engulfed Suxi’s soul. He widened his eyes in disbelief and couldn't help but let out a shrill howl!!!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"

"Your curse can actually pollute the soul??"

"You... you... who exactly are you?!!"

"I am Jiang Xiaohua."

Jiang Xiaohua grabbed the chain and gave it a hard tug, actually dragging Suxi’s soul out of his body instead, floating beside him like he was leading a balloon dog.

Jiang Xiaohua then slowly lay back into his physical body on the ground.

A moment later, he sat up.

The Ghost Path Envoy, who was supposed to drive ghosts, had become a "ghost" controlled by Jiang Xiaohua’s chain. At this moment, the identities of the ghost and the ghost-driver were completely reversed!

If other Envoys saw this scene, they would probably be so shocked their eyes would pop out... They had been Ghost Path Envoys for so many years and had never heard of an Envoy’s soul being counter-controlled by another soul.

Jiang Xiaohua stretched his limbs and looked at Suxi’s soul connected to the other end of the chain.

Suxi glared at him:

"Let me go!!!"

"No." Jiang Xiaohua shook his head.

"I’m warning you... this is the Ghost Path Ancient Treasury. Even if you control me, you will be targeted by the Ghost Path. You won't be able to escape!"

Facing Suxi’s threat, Jiang Xiaohua acted as if he hadn't heard it at all and spoke again:

"Take me to find my companions."

"In your dreams! They are probably already dead by now! It’s impossible for you..."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"

Halfway through Suxi’s sentence, Jiang Xiaohua used the chain to transmit pain to Suxi again, making the latter roll wildly in the void in agony.

"Take me to find them." Jiang Xiaohua repeated.

"..." Suxi gritted his teeth.

Finally, he yielded and raised his hand, pointing toward a certain direction.

……

Thud—!!!

Ancient killing intent collided violently in the air. A figure flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing through several high-rise buildings and leaving spider-web-like cracks in the earth.

Beneath the sky of the ghost city, a figure in white armor flew into the clouds like a dragon, holding a long sword, coldly looking down at Jian Changsheng in the ruins:

"You... are too weak."

A blood-stained palm grabbed the edge of a crack and slowly crawled out of the ruins. Jian Changsheng spat out a mouthful of blood, the black armor on his body already in tatters.

Same God Path, same path, same killing intent... but the Ghost Path Envoy could exert Eighth-Tier strength, while Jian Changsheng could at most exert Seventh-Tier.

Under the vast disparity in power, Jian Changsheng was beaten with almost no ability to fight back. If not for the [Asura] path’s extremely strong vitality, he would have died at Da'an’s hands long ago.

"Damn it... relying on a bunch of ghosts to back you up, is that something to be proud of?!"

Jian Changsheng clenched his fists, streaks of blood flowing from the corners of his mouth. His pupils began to be stained with a layer of black.

Surging killing intent gushed from his body, several times more solid than before. A pillar of killing intent shooting into the sky almost pierced the clouds, and within it, a pair of hollow pupils seemed to slowly open...

Jian Changsheng’s pupils, stained with black, became increasingly sharp and cold, as if another personality had begun to take control of his body.

Seeing this, Da'an’s brows furrowed slightly.

"So that’s how it is..."

"I know why you came."

Da'an gripped his long sword tighter. As the chain swayed, the incomplete ghost of Bai Qi was wrapped tighter and tighter, and the killing intent emanating from Da'an became more and more intense...

"You want to take back your soul here, use this kid’s body to complete your resurrection, and prove your path as a Soldier Path Demigod again... Unfortunately, I am destined not to let you have your way."

"Your era has passed, Bai Qi!"

Da'an’s voice was as cold as frost. As the chain tied to Bai Qi’s ghost tightened, dense cracks even began to appear on the surface of the latter’s ghost!!

Da'an intended to destroy Bai Qi’s incomplete soul right in front of him!
