Chapter 15

◎Let Go◎

Jing Shuxing understood that once the second stage of the curse mark formation reached its peak, his consciousness would be divided into two.

The part that remained in the outside world was as immature as a child, without any rationality to speak of. The remaining consciousness would be dragged into an illusion, cut off from the outside world.

If he fell into the illusion at this point, when the curse mark faded and he woke up again, he might be able to restrain his murderous intent, continue to follow the promise he made, and endure a life worse than death.

What’s so good about this?

Rather…

Jing Shuxing thought a lot, but his sleeve was held by someone.

Not only that, the other party even used spiritual power to condense a barrier, tightly enclosing the two of them. As soon as his consciousness was released, it was interrupted and pulled back into his body.

“Let go, or else…”

Chi Lu: “I won’t let go!”

Chi Lu took a deep breath, steadied her mind, pinched her fingers, and reinforced the barrier again.

The cultivators of Linghua Sect were not good at fighting, but their side skills were extremely strong. As soon as Jing Shuxing released his consciousness, Chi Lu noticed something and immediately cast a spell on the spot, firmly blocking his path to massacre the city.

Jing Shuxing wanted to do something, she was very clear about it. The system in her bracelet was going crazy, sending out an alarm, telling her that if she couldn’t stop Jing Shuxing, and let his time of turning evil advance, she would be erased immediately.

She stared at Jing Shuxing’s eyes, as if those pale pupils were complex and could communicate with her eyes.

“Look, you can’t even pull your sleeve out of my hand, why should I let you go.” Her voice suddenly lowered, unhurriedly.

Jing Shuxing opened his mouth to speak, but he suddenly changed his face, hurriedly raised his hand to cover his lips, and vomited a mouthful of black blood.

The second stage of the curse mark formation had already erupted to its peak, his consciousness seemed to be tied up, invisible chains wrapped around layer by layer, pulling his consciousness away from his original body.

He could no longer support his body, like a broken bamboo in the wind, he bent down inch by inch.

The corner of his mouth raised a cold smile, it turned out that heaven was so concerned about him. Seeing that he was planning to recklessly indulge in a spree, he quickly sent someone to stop him, so that he could avoid making a big mistake.

Could it be that the reward for avoiding a big mistake is the same as that of a few years ago, with the soul suffering in the illusion, and the body showing its ugliness in front of others?

Contrary to the expected scenario, the sensation of falling onto the cold ground did not come.

His body sank slightly and was scooped into someone’s arms.

Chi Lu scooped up Jing Shuxing like fishing.

It was only when she held him in her arms that Chi Lu realized that Jing Shuxing, who looked like a broken bamboo, was not as he seemed.

The man in her arms had broad shoulders, and his whole body was soaked. His hair was disheveled, sticking to the black marks that spread like thorns, the wet clothes tightly adhered to his body, outlining a body shape that was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom.

The corner of Jing Shuxing’s eyes outlined a glaring scarlet, he had long lost the strength to escape, even if he struggled with all his might, in Chi Lu’s eyes, it was just a vain lift of his hand.

His body became heavier and heavier, as if hundreds of hands were holding him, intending to drag him into the illusion.

“Let…” He exhausted all his strength, gasping hard, “Let me go.”

“In your dreams.”

Chi Lu forcefully held Jing Shuxing’s shoulder, her bare hand turned in mid-air, gathering a handful of radiant spiritual power, and poured it into Jing Shuxing’s body.

“I will take good care of you, naturally, I won’t allow others to hurt you again.” Before I complete my mission.

Jing Shuxing didn’t understand Chi Lu’s words.

He broke his promise with her. If she thought he had lost his value, she could directly hand him over to Jing Yi, why bother?

Before he had time to express his doubts, he completely lost control of his body. The invisible ghost hand pulled him, going down all the way in the endless abyss.

While Jing Shuxing fell into silence, Chi Lu manipulated her spiritual power, making a round trip inside his body.

She gained nothing.

She couldn’t cut through the dense curse marks at all, but instead, a lot of her spiritual power was absorbed by the curse marks.

Seeing that her spiritual power was about to be completely devoured, Chi Lu furrowed her brows, and hastily withdrew her spiritual power. She raised her hand to lightly stroke her chest, and she gasped with lingering fear.

The one who could lay the curse mark formation so tightly that even she couldn’t break it, whether it was talent or cultivation, was extremely high.

But why had she never heard of the first young master of Fengyue City being cursed by someone?

Wasn’t Jing Shuxing’s mother a genius formation cultivator? Her own son was cursed with a curse mark formation, didn’t she care at all?

The light screen of the bracelet reappeared, reminding Chi Lu that she had successfully prevented Jing Shuxing from massacring the city and completed the temporary mission.

【Uncompleted mission: Tease the target of the mission, and say the original lines.】

Right now, Jing Shuxing was in a coma, which was a good opportunity to complete the mission.

Chi Lu quickly recalled the plot, planning to casually make a few moves, then dryly recite a few lines, and perfunctorily complete the mission.

Before she had time to act, she suddenly heard a very weak voice.

“…It hurts.”

The person who had always been extremely forbearing and hardly ever showed any emotions, let out a cry of pain from between his lips and teeth, shivering in Chi Lu’s arms, like a fledgling bird.

“It hurts, it hurts so much…” The voice was so soft and weak, as if it would cry out the next second.

Chi Lu’s movements abruptly stopped, she incredulously lowered her head, as if she was holding a fake Jing Shuxing, “Does it hurt?”

Hearing Chi Lu’s voice, Jing Shuxing suddenly fell silent.

It was as if he had just realized that there was someone by his side, he immediately closed his mouth and said no more.

The definition of the curse mark formation flashed through Chi Lu’s mind, and she understood the reason. The formation had entered the second stage, taking away most of Jing Shuxing’s rationality. At this moment, although he was undoubtedly himself, his intellect and scheming had dropped to zero.

In other words, Jing Shuxing at this moment was just a child.

But since he was undoubtedly himself, his memory should not be missing.

“I’ve helped you so much, and you don’t even want to talk to me? It’s really heartbreaking.” Chi Lu pretended to be angry.

“I won’t believe it.” Jing Shuxing replied.

He wanted to get up from Chi Lu’s arms, but Chi Lu wouldn’t let him. She reached out and stopped him by his shoulder, “Why?”

Regardless of whether it’s a good opportunity to complete the mission now, given Jing Shuxing’s current state, Chi Lu would never feel at ease leaving him.

He would soon be sent to the side hall of Linghua Sect to rest. If he suddenly went mad there and hurt her companions, Chi Lu wouldn’t mind dying with him.

She had been easily pushed away by him before, almost making a big mistake. Now she had to be here, and have a frank conversation with Jing Shuxing. Once the mission was over, she could die easily, having nothing more to do with this troublesome man.

Thinking like this in her heart, facing the “childlike” Jing Shuxing, Chi Lu coaxed with a good temper, “I am a person from Linghua Sect. For me, as long as you tell me where the eye of the curse mark formation is, I can manipulate my consciousness to enter the inside of the formation and relieve your pain.”

She was about to say something else when Jing Shuxing’s voice rang in her ear.

He gritted his teeth, pausing after each word, as if he was being refined by a fierce fire in hell.

“I will never believe.” He muttered to himself, repeating it over and over again, like a madman, forcing himself to remember strongly.

“You too, they too, however much they gave me, they will take as much from me, so I won’t believe you, absolutely not.”
