"die!"
A terrifying, ghostly sound suddenly rang out.
A dark streak of light flew towards Mo Xie.
"Be careful, this is a ghost curse!" Falan exclaimed.
The Ghost Curse—Killing someone who practices ghost magic will result in a terrifying curse, ranging from bad luck to sudden death.
And Mo Zixuan's ghost curse is absolutely terrifying, causing instant death upon contact!
Mo Xie was originally sitting cross-legged on the ground, waiting for her return.
Given this dramatic turn of events, he had no way to avoid it.
In a moment of desperation, he had a sudden inspiration and with two fingers, he shouted, "Soul-summoning bell, appear!"
Whoosh!
A copper bell that made a crisp sound appeared, emitting a leisurely soul light that enveloped Mo Xie.
The black light, like an arrow piercing water, gradually weakened in its impact.
However, it was still imprinted on Mo Xie's forehead.
"puff……"
Mo Xie spat out a mouthful of black blood and lay on her back on the ground.
Fa Lan quickly stepped forward to help him up, only to see a dark aura swirling around his forehead.
She asked urgently, "How are you feeling?"
Mo Xie gave a weak smirk, "I'm not dead yet..."
Although he wouldn't die, he clearly felt that his body no longer belonged to him... he was practically paralyzed!
"It's ruined..."
Mo Xie could only manage a long, bitter smile.
He understood perfectly well that if they hadn't returned to the main world, it could only mean that the task of 'killing the protagonist' was not yet complete.
And before the mission was even completed, he was already paralyzed and crippled... No wonder it's the last primary cultivation world, no wonder it's marked as 'dangerous' by the system.
It was indeed extremely dangerous!
"You survived my Netherworld Curse?"
The terrifying ghostly voice said cruelly, "Fine, I'll spare your crippled body for now. I'll come and take your worthless life soon!"
After speaking,
A ghostly wind swirled around, transforming into a sinister shadow.
The ghostly figure gave Mo Xie a cold look before sweeping away.
"Enjoy your last pitiful moments!"
Mo Zixuan's corpse decomposed instantly, quickly turning into a pile of pale white bones.
"It's actually a Ghost King?"
Fa Lan calculated with her slender fingers, her face turning pale with shock.
Mo Xie asked, "The Ghost King?"
Fa Lan nodded and said, "That villain must be the reincarnation of a ghost king... no wonder he is such an inherently evil person."
Moye nodded, indicating that she understood.
As a protagonist, it's reasonable that he's the reincarnation of some powerful being, right?
Is the Ghost King very strong?
"Very powerful, a terrifying being capable of traversing between the realms of Yin and Yang! However, Ghost Kings usually reside in the Underworld and rarely come up here. I wonder which Ghost King this one is?" Fa Lan's expression was solemn. "What are its intentions in reincarnating as a human?"
The Ghost King is Mo Zixuan, and Mo Zixuan is the Ghost King.
No wonder I haven't finished my mission to kill the protagonist yet...
Mo Xie tried to move his body, but he couldn't even move a finger. He gave a self-deprecating laugh, "Whatever its plans are, they're none of my business anymore."
Fa Lan noticed that Mo Xie seemed to be on the verge of death, and her beautiful eyes flashed as she gasped, "You'll be alright...aren't you still alive?"
“You’re not good at comforting people…” Mo Xie shook his head and smiled, then sighed, “But to have your body ruined is more painful than death!”
Before Fa Lan could speak, Mo Xie interrupted her, "Fa Lan, promise me one thing!"
Fa Lan quickly said, "Go ahead!"
Mo Xie glanced at the demonic sword beside him, closed his eyes, and said, "Pick it up and kill me!"
Since my body is already crippled, I'd rather not wait for the Ghost King, or rather, the protagonist, to come knocking on my door.
It would be better to just die and return to the source!
Fortunately, it's just a wound to the soul; I can find some rare and precious materials to repair it later.
As for the dangers we'll face after returning... we can only take it one step at a time.
If there is still any chance of turning things around, he doesn't want to return in such a humiliating way!
But there really is no other way.
After all, as far as he knew, this was not a fantasy world where people lived for hundreds or thousands of years.
The Ghost King and the enlightened masters are already the most powerful beings in this world.
Even if a person with spiritual attainment becomes disabled, there may still be medicine to cure them;
But if an ordinary person like myself becomes disabled... then I'm truly useless.
After all, in this era teeming with demons, the lives of mortals are truly worth less than grass!
Fa Lan rarely showed anger, her beautiful eyes glaring angrily at Mo Xie, and she said, word by word, "What did you say?!"
“I said, I'll let you kill me... I'm serious!” Mo Xie opened his eyes and answered earnestly.
"No!" Falan glared at him and said fiercely.
"Good girl..." Mo Xie smiled, wanting to touch her puffed-up face, which was swollen from anger, if he could still move.
"If you really want to help me, then kill me... I'm sure I'll have a better new life, believe me!"
"But... what does that have to do with me?"
"What?"
Mo Xie was stunned, and with all his might, he looked up at her face.
With tears welling in her eyes, Fa Lan whispered, "The you who is reincarnated is not you anymore... What does the next you have to do with me?"
Moye fell silent.
"There must be a way... there must be!" Fa Lan murmured, tears streaming down her face.
Mo Xie really wanted to wipe her clean, but he couldn't.
He's useless now.
That terrifying ghostly aura was raging through his body. Even if he could endure the crippling pain and survive, he probably wouldn't have many years left to live!
