207: Cursed War Spirit

Lu Qianyuan had figured it out: Qu You had activated an ability similar to the Curse Price of the Lightless Curse, meaning she was sure to die.

She was like a bomb now; whoever touched her would explode.

There was no need to fight to the death with Qu You; it wouldn't be too late to deal with her once her power was almost exhausted.

Seeing Wu Xing leave directly with Lu Qianyuan, Qu You felt extremely frustrated.

She suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, her own power rapidly evaporating.

Once she confirmed that Wu Xing and Lu Qianyuan had left, Qu You immediately fled.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Qu You stopped, hastily set up protective measures, and began to restrain her own power.

As someone recognized by the Annihilation Curse, she had the ability to stop the Curse Price of the ability.

However, once it was shut down, she couldn't use it again for a short period.

Time slowly passed, and in a blink, three hours went by.

The boiling power within Qu You's body gradually calmed; although she had consumed a lot of power and her Realm had fallen, at least she had survived.

A look of resentment appeared in Qu You's eyes; it was her first time encountering such a disgusting opponent.

Bullying the weak, and sneak attacking from behind.

She secretly swore that if she ever met the two of them again, she would definitely tear them to shreds.

However, before that, she still needed to recover her strength and find the remaining Cursed Battle Spirits.

'This time, I probably won't recover for a year and a half.'

Qu You sighed helplessly.

She put away her protective measures, only to find Lu Qianyuan and Wu Xing waiting outside.

“...”

“You don't look so good.”

Lu Qianyuan gloated, his tone flippant, but a hint of apprehension still lurked in his eyes.

“As expected of District 50, truly shameless.”

Qu You sneered, her eyes fearless.

“Still stubborn even when death is near. Bring out whatever trump cards you have; this time, I absolutely won't run.”

Qu You, catching him off guard, swung her long blade, and a bloody blade light shot straight towards Lu Qianyuan.

The next instant, Lu Qianyuan vanished from his spot, dodging the blade light.

“Didn't you say you wouldn't run? Coward.”

“That's for fools; only a fool would believe it.”

“...”

Qu You only felt her Qi and blood surge, her anger attacking her heart.

Although she had anticipated it, she was still surprised by Lu Qianyuan's shamelessness.

Today was definitely the most infuriating day of her life, without a doubt.

“I am a fair person, so I will arrange an opponent of equal strength for you, to send you off with dignity.”

Lu Qianyuan slowly said, and as his voice fell, the seventh-tier exotic beast, Fire Spirit Lava Dragon, appeared behind him.

Qu You looked at Lu Qianyuan coldly; he spoke nicely, 'equal strength,' but he merely wanted to see if she still had any trump cards.

She did have trump cards, but it would be extremely difficult to deal with Lu Qianyuan.

Before she could continue to ponder, the Fire Spirit Lava Dragon had already charged forward.

Seeing this, Qu You swung her blade, and a bloody sword light landed on the Fire Spirit Lava Dragon, but it only cut open its scales.

Qu You felt bitter; if it weren't for her current terrible state, she could have killed an exotic beast of this level with one strike.

Unfortunately, reality had no 'ifs.'

Because she had just used an explosive ability, Qu You, now only half-dead, had her strength drop to the bottom of the seventh-tier, causing even a seventh-tier exotic beast like the Fire Spirit Lava Dragon to be able to suppress her.

Qu You struggled to contend with the Fire Spirit Lava Dragon, gritting her teeth and holding on.

Although death was imminent, she wasn't going to die so easily.

At least before she died, she had to drag her enemy down with her.

Just as she was fiercely battling the Fire Spirit Lava Dragon, a Mental Spike silently struck Qu You from a hidden corner; the sudden attack made her body tremble, and her mind instantly went blank.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, a violent Mental Energy instantly descended, then poured entirely into Qu You's Mental Sea.

Qu You resisted with all her might, but it was to no avail.

Her Mental Energy attainments were already inferior to Lu Qianyuan's, and now in a terrible state, with the Fire Spirit Lava Dragon holding her back, she naturally couldn't resist Lu Qianyuan's enslavement.

But even so, she was unwilling to let Lu Qianyuan gain all the benefits.

Qu You, in a fit of ruthlessness, directly began to destroy her own Mental Sea.

Want information about the Cursed Battle Spirit? Dream on.

Lu Qianyuan immediately suppressed her, but Qu You still managed to destroy a portion.

Not long after, Qu You's consciousness was suppressed by Lu Qianyuan.

Only after completely taking control of Qu You's body did Lu Qianyuan breathe a sigh of relief.

The Cursed Battle Spirit was truly tricky; although it was a huge trap, its effects were top-notch.

If he hadn't had so many tricks up his sleeve, he would have failed.

Thankfully, no accidents occurred.

Lu Qianyuan breathed a sigh of relief, then began to search Qu You's memories.

However, regrettably, Qu You had just destroyed some information about the Cursed Battle Spirit, so not much was left.

There were a total of five Cursed Battle Spirits: Lightless Curse, Annihilation Curse, Greed Curse, Evil Soul Curse, and Nightmare Curse.

The one on Qu You was the Annihilation Curse.

Each Cursed Battle Spirit had unique and powerful effects, but in contrast, each Cursed Battle Spirit also came with a heavy Curse Price.

Basically, bad luck followed, and their destinies were fraught with difficulties.

However, once the Battle Spirit's recognition was obtained, this effect would disappear.

Before Qu You received the Battle Spirit's recognition, she had always been incredibly unlucky.

It wasn't until she became a fourth-tier and gradually gained the Battle Spirit's recognition that this situation improved.

After gaining the Cursed Battle Spirit's recognition, one could vaguely sense the other Cursed Battle Spirits.

It was said that if all five Cursed Battle Spirits were collected, they would mutually restrain each other, ultimately removing all negative effects.

Qu You was aiming for this goal when she began searching for the Lightless Curse.

Among the remaining three curses, two already had masters, and one was unaccounted for.

However, Qu You had modified this part of the information, so Lu Qianyuan didn't know who held the two Cursed Battle Spirits with masters.

And masterless Cursed Battle Spirits could not be sensed.

Last time, it seemed that Lu Qianyuan had replicated the Lightless Curse, causing it to be briefly activated, which was how Qu You vaguely sensed it.

After clarifying these points, Lu Qianyuan became interested.

If there was an opportunity, he could try to gather all five Cursed Battle Spirits to see what the effect would be.

However, for now, he should continue to improve his strength.

Qu You was at the Peak of the seventh-tier, and even she didn't dare to seek trouble with the other two, which indicated that the remaining two were definitely eighth-tier.

If a ninth-tier expert wanted to find Qu You, it would be effortless, and she wouldn't have lived this long.

He only had one eighth-tier combat power, Wu Xing, making it difficult for him to deal with eighth-tier Spirit Masters who wielded Cursed Battle Spirits.

As for the Cursed Battle Spirits, it was better to put them aside for now; it wouldn't be too late to collect them once his strength increased.

Wu Xing took an orange battle spirit from his spatial ring and handed it to Lu Qianyuan; this was his original target.

Jiang Kaixin's Battle Spirit, the Greedy Qi Beast.

After he controlled Jiang Kaixin, he made Jiang Kaixin lose almost half his Life Qi to extract the Battle Spirit.
