Chapter 186: Master of the Palace, please take action quickly.
Is this curse a secret art of the devil race? Yun Xinyue was astonished at the thought. Mu Yunqing might not have sensed it yet, but I'm very clear about this matter. I never expected Wang Shouzhen to use such a bizarre curse. Is it similar, or is it indeed the same one?
Yun Xinyue's eyes stared fixedly ahead. I really want to go forward and clarify this. This curse nearly became an unsolved case in Wonderous Palace. But now I'm Zhang Tiancheng; I can only wait patiently. There seems to be something wrong with this curse. If it's a secret art of the devil race, why did people from Wonderous Palace fall victim to it before? Which member of the devil race cast the curse? Yun Xinyue found it even more puzzling.
Just then, Mu Yunqing suddenly roared, "A mere curse, how could it stop me?"
A ferocious smile appeared at the corners of his distorted mouth. Although the curse had come suddenly, he was prepared. He had already been cursed twice. The inability to find the curse's source, in particular, had made him even more cautious.
"Insignificant curse, be suppressed by me!" Mu Yunqing gritted his teeth. His aura erupted explosively, and a dazzling light bloomed from his body. At his neck, a piece of jade flashed continuously.
What is that... Yun Xinyue's heart tightened as she sensed an unknown power.
BUZZ!
The next moment, a phantasmal ancient Buddha, hands clasped and robed in a kasaya, slowly emerged, shielding Mu Yunqing beneath it. It was incessantly chanting something. Soft, pervasive Buddhist chanting began to fill the dungeon, while the Power of the Curse started to wriggle frantically. As if alive, it emitted sharp, piercing shrieks before rapidly beginning to dissolve. The appearance of the Buddha's phantom had actually suppressed the Power of the Curse!
PFFT!
At the same time, Wen Zhixing suddenly spurted a mouthful of fresh blood. This is the curse's backlash, occurring prematurely! How could this be? Wen Zhixing's face filled with astonishment. This is the first time I've ever encountered such a situation. The Unfounded Curse was terminated prematurely! There's a treasure on Mu Yunqing that can actually suppress the Unfounded Curse!
[You used the Unfounded Curse to curse Mu Yunqing.]
[The opponent possesses the Spiritual Treasure: Buddha's Relic. The Unfounded Curse has been forcibly suppressed, and the backlash triggered prematurely!]
[He has been slightly injured, but your injuries are serious.]
[Your injuries have recovered!]
Buddha's Relic? Wen Zhixing frowned, looking ahead, his injuries already fully healed. Damn it. What the hell is this thing? It even managed to block my infallible Unfounded Curse.
Mu Yunqing's gaze sharpened as he turned towards Wen Zhixing, their eyes meeting. This is… backlash? Due to the curse's backlash, Wen Zhixing naturally bore the curse's aura. Mu Yunqing was no fool; he instantly understood Wen Zhixing's state.
"It's you! You're the one cursing me!" Mu Yunqing's eyes nearly bulged with rage, his aura becoming unstable. So, everything was a trick by this Wang Shouzhen! That means before I even moved against him, this person had already struck first!
"Wang Shouzhen, you are truly courting death!" Mu Yunqing roared, his aura surging dramatically, his face utterly ferocious. When have I ever been treated with such contempt? His eyes, fixed on Wen Zhixing, flickered with an incredibly cold killing intent. This Wang Shouzhen is far too bold! To dare curse me right to my face like this! It's as if he doesn't take me seriously at all!
"Die!" Mu Yunqing thrust out a finger. Terrifying power surged, instantly transforming into a brilliant rainbow that shot forward to strike!
Damn it! Wen Zhixing cursed inwardly. I thought the Unfounded Curse could easily detain Mu Yunqing, but it unexpectedly failed this time!
SPLASH!
Wen Zhixing couldn't dodge in time; the finger directly pierced his chest. Blood gushed out.
"You…" Wen Zhixing's eyes widened in shock, his right hand clutching his chest as his face turned deathly pale. Such a swift killing move! He stumbled, involuntarily taking quick steps backward.
"Hmph." Mu Yunqing's eyes were filled with coldness. With a flash, he closed the distance, his fingertips once again glinting with a chilling light. This time, his finger aimed for Wen Zhixing's forehead. A mere Wang Shouzhen dared to scheme against me from the shadows. Time for you to die!
However, just at that moment, the entire Wonderous Palace seemed to convulse violently. Even the dungeon began to shake. Mu Yunqing paused, his eyes filled with caution. Seizing the opportunity, Wen Zhixing transformed into a blood mist, narrowly escaping the strike.
"The array method has been shut down?" Mu Yunqing didn't continue his pursuit, instead looking towards the ceiling with a solemn expression. Even though I can't see outside, I can still sense some things. This commotion… it feels like Wonderous Palace's Sect Protection Array has been deactivated. The battles between Shi Yan, Si Nanyan, and the others have also noticeably stopped. That terrifying energy fluctuation has vanished without a trace. Both sides have ceased fighting! This is bad! Mu Yunqing's heart chilled. Shutting down the array method isn't necessarily a good thing; it could be a trap set for me. If Shi Yan and Xu An leave, I'll be in danger. I need to act quickly while both sides are still in a standoff. No time to linger.
Mu Yunqing's expression turned serious, his gaze sweeping forward. He no longer paid any attention to Wen Zhixing, who lay injured to one side. The next moment, he was beside Zhang Tiancheng.
