Chapter 165 An old friend is dying, and some sadness is inevitable.
"How should I put it, it felt pretty good, right?" Jiuying laughed. "Hey, the aftereffects of this Forgetfulness Worm are too strong. It took me ages to recover. You can't use this stuff all the time." Xu Sheng twisted his neck, and his demeanor had clearly changed compared to before, which meant that the side effects of the Forgetfulness Worm had disappeared.
Xu Sheng twisted his neck, speechless. It was too painful. He was actually being suppressed by Jiang Shaotian's three elements. Jiang Shaotian had one element, the Summoning element, while he had four. Normally, he should be the one suppressing Jiang Shaotian, but it was the other way around.
"What do you want to do?" Xu Sheng smiled cruelly, and the cursed spider's domain suddenly expanded, darkness enveloping everything. Everything here was shrouded in darkness.
Jiang Shaotian's face instantly darkened; his backup plan was broken.
He had been trying to transmit his voice using the sound system, but it was not working. It wasn't until the Cursed Spider appeared that he realized that the sound system was blocked by the Cursed Spider's dark domain, which was why it couldn't be transmitted.
However, his sonic abilities are very strong, and he cannot stop the Cursed Spider from unleashing its full power. But the Cursed Spider still has Xu Sheng as its master. He originally wanted to secretly transmit his voice and use its maximum power.
Now, however, Xu Sheng has cut off his connection. He expanded the domain of the Cursed Spider, preventing his sound system from spreading. Although it still functions normally within this domain, he was unable to tell Jiang Shaoxu that the Black Vatican's plan against the ancient capital had fallen through.
"That won't do. If you're going to fight, then fight properly. Why contact others? Jiuying and I won't join forces, and you don't need to join forces with anyone else. But it seems you don't intend to join forces with anyone else either, nor do you seem to have anyone who can join forces with you," Xu Sheng said.
After expelling the Forget-Me-Not side effects, he no longer referred to Xu Sheng of the Magic Association, but rather Xu Sheng of the Black Vatican in blue robes. The difference between the two is significant.
Xu Sheng is now a completely different person; his way of handling things and his logic of thinking are different from before.
Most importantly, he no longer has any feelings for Jiang Shaotian, just like when they first met, and he no longer feels any pity or anything like that.
He now finds Jiang Shaotian a bit annoying, and quite capable, so keeping him here is a potential problem.
"Nine Infants, you won't stop me, will you?" Just in case, Xu Sheng turned and asked. Nine Infants had already gone far away, only a small dot could be seen. His voice came from over there: "Why would I stop you? Didn't I already say that you can do whatever you want? I don't care. If you're going to kill Jiang Shaotian, then hurry up. I have some clues about the whereabouts of the White-Robed General. We might have to face Lord Wu'an later, so be careful of demonic energy."
"OK, Lord Jiuying, this will take at most ten minutes." Xu Sheng replied, though he didn't know if Jiuying could hear him, but it was a polite response. He turned his gaze back to Jiang Shaotian. "That's all there is to it, so please die here, and quickly, because I don't want to waste any more time here," Xu Sheng said.
"Cursed Spider, give me some real effort, stop slacking off!" Xu Sheng roared, and his magic followed immediately. A huge fireball appeared in front of Jiang Shaotian, thrown out in the form of a powerful punch, but it was actually a super-level spell.
The fireball was larger than the previous luxurious palace, and could be seen from any corner of the city. Darkness had once enveloped the palace, which was as large as a white prison, but now the fireball had dispelled the darkness.
The intense heat caused the ground to scorch, and Jiang Shaotian dared not be careless. He immediately used earth magic to ignite the fireball, which was lifted up into the sky.
While Jiang Shaotian was using earth magic, the cursed spider had already sneaked up behind him. After Xu Sheng gave him a death order, he became a little more serious. The cursed spider was behind him, and the curse was in front.
The curse was far more potent than the poison of the cursed spider itself. He manipulated several threads, which were connected to Jiang Shaotian. The cursed spider snapped one of the threads, and two white hairs appeared in Jiang Shaotian's black hair.
His physical strength declined sharply.
"Forbidden Technique!" Upon being attacked, Jiang Shaotian immediately recognized the type of magic. Curses are the easiest magic to trigger forbidden techniques, and forbidden techniques are almost always related to curses. This organization's curse can strip away a person's life force, making the victim incredibly weak. If the victim can regain their life force within a specified time, their body will remain in that state indefinitely.
Although Jiang Shaotian only had a few more gray hairs, he could clearly feel that he seemed to have aged ten years, and his control over magical energy had become somewhat stiff.
"Releasing this organization requires contact with me. When?" Jiang Shaotian pondered. He needed to figure out when to make contact with the cursed spider, otherwise, other troubles might arise. After releasing this curse, Jiang Shaotian's combat power would be greatly reduced, and the cursed spider would also need to rest for a while before it could release the next curse. He still had three threads in his hand, and those were all threads connecting the curses.
Only Xu Sheng and the Cursed Spider could see this line; Jiang Shaotian couldn't see it, but he could roughly sense it.
"Trouble is coming!" Jiang Shaotian looked up and saw Xu Sheng standing high in the sky with his Winged Demon Tool behind him. The space around him was distorted, and the flames that had been forced to shoot into the sky by changing their trajectory had disappeared, replaced by a large number of spatial fluctuation vortexes.
"Chaos System!"
Within that vortex lies the previous fire magic. Chaos magic can absorb it and return it double. This dimensional power is the most magical. Against chaos magic, elemental magic cannot be used, and physical attacks are also useless. The chaos vortex can absorb everything.
Jiang Shaotian was already very careful, but Xu Sheng didn't absorb Jiang Shaotian's magic; instead, he absorbed his own fire magic.
The vortexes turned crimson, and a dragon head emerged from each one, made of flames. Xu Sheng was as insignificant as an ant in front of these dragon heads.
"Hey, Jiang Shaotian, why did you insist on coming here? You only have three departments. Why didn't you just leave this suicide mission to someone else? Do you think you're some kind of savior? Even the previous Supreme Judge died at the hands of Jiuying. You're far inferior to him." Xu Sheng stood high in the sky, looking down at Jiang Shaotian.
"Why are you suddenly feeling sentimental? That's not like you." Jiang Shaotian struggled to lift his head, forcing a smile.
"It's normal to feel sentimental, after all, we're old friends. If I have the chance, I'll tell those Jiang family members who want revenge for you that Jiuying is not someone you can mess with. You've paid the price for this." Xu Sheng sighed slightly as the fire dragon poured down.
