Jiang Hao finally waited for the moment when the curse would be lifted.

The God-Slaying Curse seals all the skills of the cursed user, causes them to lose 1% of their health per second, and repels all healing effects from other classes or equipment. It is a technique used by the Archmage Oron to kill a true god.

Jiang Hao, who had barely managed to stay alive by constantly drinking healing potions, was now standing in the underground hall of the cathedral. Beneath his feet was an incredibly complex array, making the defensive arrays of Jinling City seem like child's play compared to it.

Seeing the famous generals throwing gold-grade energy crystals one by one into the intersection of the formation as if these energy crystals were free, the city lord of Jinling City felt a pang of heartache.

"So, should we put one at every major intersection?"

Mingdu straightened up, rubbing his back, and asked with some resentment.

"You idiot, do you want one?"

The city lord of Jinling looked bewildered.

"We can choose not to use it, but the effect cannot be guaranteed, and he may very well end up becoming an idiot."

Jiang Hao jumped three feet high.

Is it really that dangerous?

"Let it go! Let it go! Let it go, let it go, let it go!"

Jiang Hao quickly spoke up, fearing that the city lord of Jinling City would abandon him for the sake of the energy crystal.

"Guardian, please don't be shy. Place it wherever you can. If you don't have enough energy crystals, I'll take some more to fight."

The city lord of Jinling closed his eyes and waved his hand.

"Let him go, as long as he's alright."

Mingdu then continued working until he had placed all 128 gold-grade energy crystals, at which point he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After that, Mingdu came to the very center of the formation and put all 10 dark gold-grade energy crystals into the groove.

The city lord of Jinling closed his eyes again, pretending not to have seen anything.

"Commander, you may sit down."

The address of "Legion Commander" filled Jiang Hao with immense satisfaction. Although he was currently commanding his own troops, Mingdu held him in genuine respect.

This made Jiang Hao feel very favorable towards Mingdu.

After Jiang Hao sat down cross-legged, Mingdu sat down cross-legged opposite him.

After chanting a few incantations, Mingdu held his staff in his right hand and gently tapped it into the air. The magic array patterns on the ground suddenly lit up with a bright light. Jiang Hao's eyes stung from the light and he quickly closed them.

"Clear your mind and don't think about anything."

Mingdu shouted, and Jiang Hao felt the light in front of him become even brighter, so he squeezed his eyes shut.

A moment later, the light before my eyes slowly dimmed, slowly dimmed, until I could no longer feel any light at all...

Jiang Hao felt his body become very light, as if he were standing underwater, swaying freely with the current. Just as Jiang Hao was enjoying this relaxed state, a sharp pain suddenly came from the middle of his body, as if he had been cleaved in two by a large knife.

Jiang Hao immediately opened his eyes and saw himself.

Yes, Jiang Hao saw someone who looked exactly like him. That person was staring at him with the same terrified expression Jiang Hao had. If it weren't for the fact that he and Jiang Hao were currently swaying back and forth like balloons in the air, Jiang Hao was certain that it was his reflection in the mirror.

At the same time, Jiang Hao also saw that in the center of the formation, another Jiang Hao was sitting cross-legged on the formation without moving.

Only then did Jiang Hao realize that he and the other version of himself floating in the air were actually transparent.

-45.7

A white damage number floated above Jiang Hao's head. Jiang Hao instantly understood that this was the effect of the Godslayer Curse, causing him to lose 1% of his health per second.

Mingdu placed another 10 dark gold-grade energy crystals into the slot. Then he stood up, waved his staff at Jiang Hao opposite him, and Jiang Hao saw his own reflection slowly becoming transparent, until it disappeared with a pop.

Jiang Hao had a very strong intuition: the Jiang Hao opposite him was dead.

Before Jiang Hao in the air could even grieve, he suddenly felt a tremendous suction force coming from below. Jiang Hao, having nowhere to hold on, was instantly sucked into the body below...

Jiang Hao opened his eyes and saw Ming Du still sitting opposite him, as if he had never moved. However, Ming Du was now breathing heavily, and a fine layer of sweat was seeping from his forehead.

"It actually worked!"

The city lord of Jinling City ran over.

"Quickly check if your skill is usable yet."

Jiang Hao could already see the top of his head; the God-Slaying Curse had disappeared.

Jiang Hao was incredibly excited and quickly opened his attribute panel.

In the skills section, Jiang Hao saw that the gray mist status on his resurrection skill had disappeared.

Staring at his health bar for several seconds, Jiang Hao finally confirmed: the God-Slaying Curse had indeed been lifted!

Jiang Hao jumped three feet high, landed, picked up Ming Du, spun him around in the air, and was about to hug the city lord of Jinling City when Ming Du dodged him.

Jiang Hao then realized his lapse in composure and quickly stood still, scratching his head awkwardly.

"Your soul has suffered a painful split, and you may experience occasional headaches in the next few days. But don't worry, as your level increases and your attributes improve, the headaches will naturally subside."

Because of his manipulation of the magic array, Mingdu was physically weak at the moment. In addition, he was caught off guard and spun around in Jiang Hao's arms. In order to avoid embarrassment, he gave a few words of advice and then left in a hurry.

"Soul split? What's going on?"

Jiang Hao looked at the city lord of Jinling City with suspicion.

"What else could it be? It's just what it sounds like."

The city lord of Jinling spread his hands.

"Old man, didn't you say you were breaking the curse? How come you've caused a split soul? What did you do to me? Will I ever be a normal person again?"

Jiang Hao grabbed the arm of the city lord of Jinling City.

"If you don't explain yourself clearly, I... I'll fight you to the death."

"Hey, hey, don't get excited. Let me explain slowly."

"Isn't the Godslayer Curse you're afflicted bound to your soul? After much thought, I came up with this idea. I'll use the spirit of Archmage Willy to link with your soul, and then he can take the place of the Godslayer Curse in your body. That way, your curse will be lifted!"

"Don't worry, your soul has only suffered a little damage. It will be fine in a few days and won't affect your monster-killing."

He doesn't seem to be lying.

Jiang Hao suspiciously released the city lord's arm.

"Young friend, could you go to Qiongfeng Pass and help me recapture Qianfeng Pass?"

"I'm not interested. You should find someone else."

"Oh, that's a pity. It seems I won't be able to give away this Summoner's Skill Book."

"A skill book? For a summoner? What skill?"

"Archmage Willie's [Soul Link], are you perhaps interested?"

It's more than just being interested.

Jiang Hao could recite the skill descriptions of the skill books that cost 2,000 career points in the career shop by heart!

[Soul Link] The unique skill of the deceased undead mage Willy is priced at 2000 class points.

He splits his soul and stores it in each summoned object, thus achieving immortality.

The Summoner's third skill; click to learn it.

Note: If the third skill has already been learned, it will overwrite the original third skill.

Note: The mage Willy, who possessed an immortal body, eventually died. But without a doubt, this skill remains as powerful as described.

But would the City Lord of Jinling City possess this skill book, which is sold in the professional shop?
