Chapter 1864: Chapter 1062:
The ghost face twisted, seeming to come alive for a moment, shedding two lines of phantom bloody tears.
Upon seeing the ghost face, Yang Xiao’s expression changed instantly, his fear of the Half Compassion Purple Body Buddha growing stronger.
He thought he had reacted swiftly, severing the connection with the Wordless Heavenly Scripture immediately upon realizing something was wrong, but still, he was cursed.
Not just one, but two high-level curse magical artifacts were used in such a brief moment, truly thinking highly of him, fearing he wouldn’t die.
"What... what the hell is this thing?"
With the curse upon himself, it’s impossible for Yang Xiao not to be afraid, it’s fortunate to be in the Ju Mountain Family, accompanied by several great masters, otherwise, even if he miraculously survived the attack of the five Netherworld Envoys without being killed on the spot, these two curses alone would be enough to take his life.
To be targeted by the Half Compassion Purple Body Buddha, and still managed to escape unscathed as a Ghost-level Apostle, Yang Xiao could be the first, something to boast about for a lifetime once he returns.
No, no, mustn’t boast, if she ever hears about it, death would follow.
Jiushan Cangxuan naturally didn’t know Yang Xiao’s thoughts, but could feel the huge fluctuation in his spiritual power within, easy to understand, likely scared.
"This is the Ghost Blood Curse, usually there’s nothing noticeable, you won’t feel the slightest abnormality, but once you’re injured, the curse activates, causing your wound to bleed profusely until you bleed out and die," Jiushan Cangxuan explained.
Seeing Yang Xiao staring at the ghost face on his chest without speaking, Jiushan Cangxuan frowned slightly, "What, don’t you believe?"
Before Yang Xiao could reply, Jiushan Cangxuan sliced his fingertip across the back of Yang Xiao’s hand, creating only a tiny wound, but immediately blood flowed incessantly.
This scene disrupted Yang Xiao’s thoughts, it wasn’t that he didn’t believe Jiushan Cangxuan, it was just that while staring at the ghost face on his chest, he felt a familiar sensation he couldn’t quite place.
It seemed... he might’ve seen this ghost face somewhere before, but couldn’t recall at the moment.
Now with his blood flowing freely like it doesn’t cost anything, how could Yang Xiao not be anxious, "Senior! Please... Please stop the bleeding!"
"Don’t panic, this Ghost Blood Curse must be activated before it can be broken," Jiushan Cangxuan said calmly, taking out a crumpled handkerchief from his pocket, unfolding it and directly placing it on Yang Xiao’s chest.
Strangely, the moment the handkerchief was placed, it stuck to Yang Xiao’s chest with a strong suction.
As Jiushan Cangxuan activated his ability, the suction grew stronger, and Yang Xiao felt as if his skin was being torn apart.
At this moment, Yang Xiao noticed the handkerchief was made of human skin, with some ambiguous tattoos along the edges.
Just as Yang Xiao was about to lose his grip, Jiushan Cangxuan tore the human skin handkerchief away, and when Yang Xiao looked down at his chest, the ghost face was gone, and shockingly, that terrifying ghost face now appeared on the handkerchief.
On the handkerchief, the ghost face was no longer twisted and sinister, but instead appeared peaceful as if asleep with closed eyes.
"Haha, it’s a waste to just erase this thing, keeping it might be useful later," Jiushan Cangxuan smiled as he folded the human skin handkerchief and tucked it back into his pocket.
With the ghost face gone, the wound on his hand no longer bleeding, the Ghost Blood Curse was effortlessly dispelled by Jiushan Cangxuan.
No, it was "taken" by him, the human skin handkerchief is a precious artifact that can transfer curses, later Jiushan Cangxuan can use this Ghost Blood Curse against others.
"You’ve been too tense lately, letting out some blood helps to calm you," Jiushan Cangxuan lifted his head, "How do you feel now?"
Yang Xiao moved his limbs slightly, jumped in place a few times, confirmed nothing abnormal, and felt relieved, "Thank you, senior, for saving my life!"
This time, Yang Xiao’s gratitude was more sincere, his interactions with Jiushan Cangxuan were brief, but he had helped him majorly on several occasions, Yang Xiao is someone who repays kindness, knowing how to act in the future.
"Don’t rush to thank me, there’s something you need to know, I helped break the Ghost Blood Curse, but you’ll have to deal with some side effects."
"Being struck by two such powerful curses consecutively, your next Nightmare World script will come much sooner, and worse, the window from receiving the script box to entering the Nightmare World will significantly shorten." This means Yang Xiao won’t have much time to prepare, especially dangerous for him in unfamiliar Japan.
"How long do you estimate?" Yang Xiao asked straightforwardly.
"Quick as three days, slow not more than a week," Jiushan Cangxuan replied frankly.
After brief contemplation, Yang Xiao decided, "Senior, I cannot stay, I must return, please arrange for me, and... I leave Tong Han in your care."
"No need to worry, I like Miss Tong’s character very much, my sister values her greatly, you are welcome anytime."
"Rest tonight, I’ll arrange for you to take the noon flight tomorrow, leaving enough time to say goodbye to Miss Tong, should be sufficient," Jiushan Cangxuan had already made all the arrangements.
"Thank you so much, senior, and about that... that Puppet..." Yang Xiao hinted with a grin.
Jiushan Cangxuan couldn’t help but laugh, thinking this kid is really a penny pincher, "Rest assured, the puppet has been prepared for you, take it when you leave tomorrow."
Seeing everything well arranged by Jiushan Cangxuan, Yang Xiao expressed his gratitude once more.
