Falling on the ground outside Duyang City, Du Qitang could feel the changes in her body even in the drowsy darkness, as if some kind of invisible and intangible connection had suddenly been broken, and the unbreakable bond that had always existed between her and this ancient city was quietly broken at this moment.

The passage of life comes to an abrupt halt and is replaced by a return to feeding.

Countless black lines were released from the disc in the central square of the city, and they poured overwhelmingly into the Du Tung Tang outside the city gate, like vines growing out of the earth, but writhing like living creatures.

These black lines quickly found Du Fengtang's body, and then flexibly climbed up, penetrating every inch of her skin.

Tang Juyi, who was lying next to him, looked at this scene and didn't know what to say:

"It's spectacular......"

At the same time, all the people in Duyang City who had survived the war that had affected the whole city seventeen years ago were entangled in their legs by the black filaments that poured out of the ground, and they could not move.

Including Li Chengyang, they are all bound by the black silk thread that seems to have a sense of life, and they are robbing nutrients from their bodies.

"I should have repaid the debts of the year......"

Li Chengyang seemed to be relieved, completely closed his eyes, and just let these black silk threads invade his flesh and blood.

A large number of curses flowed from the depths of the earth, flowing along the black threads into the bound people, sucking their lives and pouring them into their bodies.

"Nope! No! ”

"It hurts......"

"I see it...... I see it! ”

"Don't take me there...... Don't ......"

A large number of painful wails emanated from the city, turning this peaceful ancient city into a living purgatory.

The clouds of death were spreading rapidly, but Du Fengtang, who was wrapped in black silk threads, began to gradually regain his vitality, and he could vaguely hear the energetic heartbeat coming out of a large amount of surging black substance.

The leyline spirit in a black robe came to Tang Juyi's side, sat beside him, looked at Du Qitang wrapped in black silk threads with an attitude of appreciating the beautiful scenery, and said with emotion:

"Beautiful, isn't it?"

Tang Juyi glanced at the leyline spirit, and his tone was not very friendly:

"I think there's something wrong with your aesthetic."

The leyline spirit shook his head:

"No, I mean what's inside the threads."

Hearing this, Tang Juyi's eyes lit up:

"Oh? Can you see it directly? Is it the kind of classic scene where you are naked? Reborn into a butterfly? Isn't this obviously adult-oriented plot a bit-"

The leyline spirit laughed grimly:

"The beauty you talk about and the beauty you say are two different concepts......

Immediately afterwards, an extremely rich curse aura overflowed from the large cocoon formed by the black silk threads, and even Tang Juyi, who was accustomed to the power of the curse, changed his face:

"This?!"

The masonry on the ground quickly decayed and decayed, and the weeds growing in the cracks of the bricks withered and fell in the blink of an eye.

This kind of feeling is all too familiar to Tang Juyi.

"A curse from hell?! Are you kidding?! ”

Before being called the Infernal Jailer, Tang Juyi had stayed in the Infernal Hell for a short time, so he was very sensitive to the kind of death, calamity, and ominous smell that permeated the hell everywhere.

In that place, all life is gone, and it is not a realm that living beings can set foot in.

And at this time, Du Fangtang's body actually exuded an aura from hell, how could this not shock Tang Juyi?

"Why does she have a curse from hell?"

Tang Juyi looked at the leyline spirit beside him, his eyes were very gloomy.

The leyline spirit stared at the black cocoon, and his tone seemed to be intoxicated:

"What you should be asking is, what is she?"

Tang Juyi was stunned for a moment, and then vaguely realized something.

The leyline spirit then laughed:

"Yes, the ritual was interrupted, but she saved her life, and those who used to be in Duyang City will suffer from the pain of the curse and fall into the netherworld and cannot escape...... However, what is inside her will also awaken. ”

"Haven't you thought about why she can be used as a container to bear all this?"

Tang Juyi's face became more and more ugly, but he still didn't speak.

The leyline spirit turned into a thick fog and dissipated in place, but the sound still lingered all around:

"Her very existence is a curse. Even if she breaks free from the ritual, she will become an inhuman being due to the resurgence of a curse that has dormant in the depths of her soul. From the moment she was born, fate was sealed. ”

In other words, what you're doing is just stupid futility. You think you've saved her, but you've only made her move from one abyss to another, and that's it. If you had to say that you had any merits, then 'killing a large number of citizens' would be one of them, hehehe......"

Tang Juyi sat on the ground, supporting his body with his hands, staring at the black cocoon wrapped around Du Fengtang without saying a word, and no one knew what was going on in his heart.

At this time, most of the inhabitants of Duyang City were turned into corpses, and those writhing black silk threads were still attached to the bones, squeezing the last trace of nutrients from their bodies.

Not only that, but a strong curse emanated from their bones, casting a thick ominous sky over the city.

Faintly, it seems that you can still hear the painful nicknames of many dead souls as they fall into the netherworld.

"See what you've done? Originally, these people in Duyang City could not have to die, and only needed to sacrifice a curse container that would have died, but now it is full of blood and bones. You are not a messenger of justice, just a passerby who has done something wrong. ”

The mocking laughter echoed in the sky above Duyang City, stimulating Tang Juyi's emotions.

Pouting, Tang Juyi didn't care about the nedicatory words of the leyline spirit:

"Save all this...... Do you think I care about that? The reason why I wanted to take her out of the city was not because of any salvation, but because I promised her, and that's it. ”

"I have never professed to be a righteous streamer, on the contrary, I prefer to call myself an unscrupulous person of the most self-interested......"

As he spoke, Tang Juyi stood up with his slightly repaired legs, and walked step by step towards the black cocoon where the hellish aura became more and more intense.

"So, until she sees the mountains and rivers outside the city, she must be safe."

Wandering to the black cocoon, Tang Juyi suddenly stopped, and then showed a sunny smile:

"Truth be told, in every sense of the word, this development that leads me to misery step by step, and even mocks me in the process, is full of the style of a guy I hate......"

The surrounding sounds were quiet, and only a faint wail came from Duyang City.

Tang Juyi smiled, and then without hesitation, he put his hand into the big black cocoon.

"But, although I don't want to admit it, he won this game."
