193: Chapter 188 Curse Killing Technique_1 193: Chapter 188 Curse Killing Technique_1 Xu Cheng glanced at the strand of hair and raised an eyebrow, saying, “That’s good, it will save us some trouble.

Since that’s the case, let’s go back and start the ritual!”

Xu Yuan quickly nodded, and afterwards, the senior members of the Xu family left the hospital, leaving only a few unimportant people to take care of Xu Shaoming.

The Xu family.

A sacrificial altar had already been set up in the courtyard.

Xu Cheng changed into a black robe and knelt in front of the altar, murmuring words.

In front of him were three bowls of blood: chicken blood, dog blood, and human blood.

In the middle was a stack of yellow talisman paper, with skull heads placed on both sides, though it was unclear whether they were real or models.

Above the altar hung a portrait of an evil demon with a ferocious face, its blood-filled maw gaping as if devouring a human, utterly terrifying.

The whole courtyard had become much more sinister because of this altar.

After a while, Xu Cheng stopped chanting, turned to Xu Yuan, and said, “The preparations for the spell have been completed.

Give me that strand of Lu Chuan’s hair.”

Xu Yuan hurriedly handed over the small transparent bag containing Lu Chuan’s hair to Xu Cheng.

He was a bit worried and asked, “Brother, this Curse Killing Technique, does it really have no side effects?

Won’t it affect you?

You are the pillar of our Xu family.

If something happens to you, the Han family will definitely seize the opportunity to strike at us.

If this method affects you, we should consider another way.”

Xu Cheng laughed and said, “Although the Curse Killing Technique is complicated, it generally won’t have any effect on me, at most it will leave me weak for a while.

However, there are two scenarios we must avoid.”

Xu Yuan asked, “What scenarios?”

Xu Cheng explained, “One is that the person intended for the curse must absolutely not be someone with an extremely high destiny, and the other is that the person must not possess a peerless treasure, because in a certain sense, such treasures can enhance the destiny of the one who carries it.”

“If either of these two scenarios occurs, after performing the Curse Killing Technique, the caster will suffer very severe repercussions.

It could even cost them their life.”

Then he asked, “By the way, I forgot to inquire whether this Lu Chuan is some extraordinary individual?”

Xu Yuan replied, “I had someone investigate this youngster’s background.

He’s an orphan who grew up in an orphanage.

Until not long ago, he was still delivering food; he can’t possibly be someone with an extremely high destiny.

Typically, those with such destinies are born into wealth and nobility, right?”

Xu Cheng nodded and said, “Indeed, those with high destinies are no ordinary individuals, and being born into a rich and noble family is just one aspect.

It looks like this youngster’s destiny won’t be too high.”

Xu Yuan continued, “However, it’s uncertain whether he possesses some peerless treasure.

This kid’s talent for the Martial Path is exceptionally strong.

In less than a year, he’s gone from delivering food to where he is now.

Perhaps he stumbled upon some treasure by chance.

Shouldn’t we investigate this before we proceed?”

Xu Cheng laughed heartily and said, “The peerless treasures I’m referring to are not those that can enhance one’s talent or change physique.

Those can only be considered treasures, but definitely not peerless.”

“The peerless treasures I’m talking about are those that, each on its own, carry the might to destroy the heavens and obliterate the earth.

They must possess the power to change the current state of the world to qualify to alter the destiny of their carrier.

In ancient times, such treasures were called Divine Artifacts.”

“Nowadays, these Divine Artifacts have long since ceased to exist; no one could possibly own them.

Even if this Lu Chuan encountered some fortuitous adventures, it is utterly impossible for him to possess a Divine Artifact.

So, you need not worry about this.”

Xu Yuan nodded thoughtfully, “I see.

In that case, I can rest easy.”

Xu Cheng said, “Next, I will begin the spell.

Don’t let anyone disturb me.”

Xu Yuan nodded, gave a glance to the surrounding people of the Xu family, and they immediately scattered to protect Xu Cheng as he conducted the ritual.

Xu Cheng no longer hesitated, picked up a piece of yellow talisman paper, swiftly folded it into a small figure, then soaked it in each of the three bowls of blood in turn.

Following that, he took a long nail and nailed the small figure to the altar.

He then took out the strand of Lu Chuan’s hair and, while performing a hand sign, began to chant a spell.

After a while, he placed the hair on the small figure.

Forming hand seals, his eyes bulged, and he shouted, “Die!”

The blood-soaked small figure immediately moved its arms, grasping Lu Chuan’s hair, and then with a bang, the entire figure burst into flames.

Xu Cheng maintained his hand seal, staring intently at the small figure, sweat dripping from his forehead, clearly exerting a great deal of strength.

As long as he could maintain the spell until the figure was burnt to ash, the Curse Killing Technique would be considered successfully executed.

At that time, Lu Chuan would die from bleeding through all seven orifices, and no one would be able to determine who killed him.

Watching Xu Cheng perform the ritual, Xu Yuan felt a strong anticipation and murmured, “Son, with your great-uncle taking action, Lu Chuan, that cur, will surely be killed, and your vendetta will be avenged.”

Meanwhile.

The Han family.

In Lu Chuan’s room.

Han Qingci, holding onto Lu Chuan with a grievance, said, “Qingci just wants to sleep with Brother Lu Chuan, please don’t send Qingci away, okay?”

Lu Chuan looked at Han Qingci helplessly and said, “But I want to spend some time alone tonight; I can’t calm my heart with you here.”

Han Qingci said, “Brother Lu Chuan didn’t come back last night, and Qingci has already felt so aggrieved being away from you for so long.

If I can’t sleep with Brother Lu Chuan tonight, then Qingci…

Qingci will cry for you to see!”

As she said this, her eyes began to well with tears, seemingly genuinely upset.

Unable to resist her look, Lu Chuan yielded, saying, “Okay, okay, you can sleep here tonight.

But let’s get this straight: you’re not to bring up any more of that ‘performance’ talk; just sleep soundly, that’s all.”

Han Qingci’s face immediately lit up with joy as she said, “Brother Lu Chuan is the best.

But since we’ve already slept together, wouldn’t it be okay for Qingci to ‘perform’ just a little more?”

Lu Chuan said with a stern face, “No, if you really must try to show off, I’ll throw you out right away.”

Han Qingci could only compromise, “Got it, Qingci will be good and obey.”

Looking at the girl in front of him who seemed to be infatuated, Lu Chuan sighed and said, “Alright, go lie down on the bed.”

He planned to use the old trick again, knocking Han Qingci out to prevent the girl from causing any mischief in the middle of the night.

Han Qingci obediently laid on the bed and then cheekily patted the space beside her, saying, “Brother Lu Chuan, come quick, Qingci wants to sleep hugging you.”

Lu Chuan walked to the bed, intending to cast a spell to make Han Qingci fall asleep.

However, just at that moment, a strong sense of crisis suddenly emerged in his heart.

Following that, his heart ached fiercely, as if something was squeezing it forcefully, causing him extreme pain and making him collapse onto the bed.

Han Qingci was startled and quickly sat up to check on Lu Chuan, “Brother Lu Chuan, what’s wrong with you?

Don’t scare me!”

Lu Chuan’s body curled up, fine cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and he started to tremble uncontrollably.

But soon, a strange power emanated from within him, and the faint sound of a dragon’s chant accompanied it, enveloping him.

Simultaneously, the Demon Suppression Pagoda inside him started to spin rapidly, releasing waves of power that protected him.

The moment these two powers appeared, Lu Chuan felt much more comfortable all of a sudden.

However, the sense of imminent death that had come so suddenly had still caused him some damage.

Struggling to maintain his spirit, he quickly took some elixir pills from the Demon Suppression Pagoda and popped them into his mouth.

Seeing Lu Chuan’s condition improve, Han Qingci breathed a slight sigh of relief, but she was still very worried and asked, “Brother Lu Chuan, what happened just now?”

Lu Chuan said, “I don’t know what happened either, it felt like someone attacked me from afar.

But luckily, I have a strong will to live and I survived it.”

He wasn’t in the mood to think about what had just happened; he needed to rest as soon as possible or he would suffer significant vitality loss.

He looked at Han Qingci and said, “Qingci, go and grab the covers from the bed for me, cover me with all of them.

I might fall into a deep sleep soon, and it will become very cold, but there won’t be any danger to my life, so you don’t need to worry too much.”

The recovery pills he had just taken had a side effect: they would allow the body’s injuries to heal rapidly, but would also make the body go cold and fall into a deep sleep.

Hearing this, Han Qingci quickly got off the bed and said, “Brother Lu Chuan, rest assured, I’ll take good care of you!”

After saying that, she hurried off to fetch the blankets.

Although she was love-struck at the moment, she was generally sensible and knew what she had to do in such a situation.

Before long, Han Qingci had returned to the room with the blankets in her arms.

By this time, the side effects of the pills Lu Chuan had taken were beginning to show.

He lay curled up in the blankets, shivering ceaselessly, his lips turning white, and it seemed like he had already fallen asleep.

Han Qingci quickly covered Lu Chuan with several blankets, but this seemed to have little effect.

Looking at Lu Chuan in pain, Han Qingci was filled with distress and muttered to herself, “Brother Lu Chuan’s body is ice-cold; he’s not radiating any heat.

In this situation, piling on more blankets won’t help, and all these layers might actually trap the coldness in and make Brother Lu Chuan suffer worse.”

Her expression turned anxious, as she sought to find some hot water bottles to stuff into Lu Chuan’s blankets, but in the middle of the night, she had no idea where to find them.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she murmured, “I don’t have hot water bottles, but my body is warm.

If I get into the same blanket with Brother Lu Chuan, it will slowly get warmer.”

She turned her head to glance at Lu Chuan and said with a hint of shyness, “Brother Lu Chuan, I’m doing this to help you, not to show off, okay?

Qingci is…

Qingci is coming in.”

After she spoke, she took off her clothes and crawled into the blanket, holding Lu Chuan tightly.

“Brother Lu Chuan’s clothes are a bit in the way, not suitable for keeping warm.

I’ll help him take them off too…”

…

Xu Family.

In the courtyard.

Xu Cheng was focusing his energy, casting the Curse Killing Technique.

The little man made from folded yellow talisman paper in front of him was about to burn up completely.

But just then, a terrifying force exploded from the effigy, blasting the entire altar apart.

Xu Cheng spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, instantly becoming incredibly weak and collapsing to the ground.

The Xu family members around him were all startled by this sight.

Xu Yuan hurried over to Xu Cheng and helped him up, asking urgently, “Big brother, what happened?

Why did the altar explode?”

Xu Cheng’s face was filled with terror, his body convulsed uncontrollably as he exclaimed, “It’s too horrific, too horrific!

I’ve suffered a backlash, that young man is terrifying.

Go get the Life Suspension Pills for me, quickly…

I…

I fear I’m not going to make it!”

As soon as he finished speaking, blood started to ooze from his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth, his face was covered in blood in an instant, creating a horrifying sight.

In just a few seconds, Xu Cheng, who possessed the strength of Transcendent Realm Level 7, stopped moving altogether and went completely still.
