Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 44 Space Compass and Curse Body Borrowing Technique

The red sun rose high, but it did not dispel the rain all over the sky.

There are always dark clouds hanging over Bo City.

The sound of high heels clicking was particularly clear in the silent rainy alley.

A woman in a bright red cheongsam holding an oil-paper umbrella walked out of the street corner.

She has a graceful figure and elegant manners, especially in this rainy alley in the south of the Yangtze River.

She was even in the mood to protect a newly bloomed gardenia from the rain.

The fragrance of the flowers is so refreshing that even the violent demons cannot bear to blaspheme and bypass this ancient alley paved with mottled stone slabs.

An inconspicuous shadow among the flowers blends into the old stone wall.

"You called me?"

The shadow outline made a very light sound.

"Inform the headmaster and tell him to get out of here."

"Ok."

The shadow outline gradually fades away.

At the end of the quaint alley, Xu Shen's steps became slower and slower.

The bloody warning bells rang throughout the city. Along the way, this was the first time he saw such a leisurely person.

This made him wary.

The woman's appearance could not be clearly seen, but her face, half covered by the paper umbrella, was very delicate.

"Young man, if you are looking for a safety isolation belt, it is in that direction." The woman's voice was hoarse.

Xu Shen frowned slightly: "Aren't you going?"

"The flowers are blooming beautifully. It would be a pity to let them down." The woman squatted half-crouched, tilting her paper umbrella.

The light rain wet her back, revealing her seductive curves, but the delicate Gardenia remained unscathed.

Xu Shen shrugged: "I think it would be a pity if I lost my life."

"Maybe you are right, but after my husband dies, I don't think life is a pity."

"Do you want to die for love?"

Whoever wants to live doesn't rush to the isolation belt with all the energy to feed herself? This woman's appearance clearly looks like she is tired of living.

"Suicide for love?" The woman laughed incomprehensibly: "If you say you died for love, that's okay."

"Yes, I hope you get what you wish for." Xu Shen waved his hand and hurried to the isolation zone.

Everyone is an independent individual. In theory, they have absolute control over their own lives. The choice of life or death is the freedom of others.

It takes great courage to go against instinct and choose death. When a person makes such a decision, then living must be more painful for him than death.

Since life is worse than death, why bother to talk too much.

"Interesting young man, I wish you good luck," the woman murmured and stood up slowly.

The high heels clicked, trampling the delicate flowers into the mud.

……

On the top of Xuefeng Mountain, Zu Guangyao stood quietly, still looking like a sculpture.

"Is it useful?" Zhan Kong yawned: "If the Black Holy See were not stupid, they would definitely have discovered the bloody alert. It was too early."

It's really a secret. He has long been disgusted with the eldest brother's attitude of having everything under control.

Therefore, when Zu Guangyao's plan emphasized that the time for raising the red alert must be after the demon wolf appeared, he deliberately did not remind him.

"What are you waiting for? The plan has been aborted, why don't you save people?"

Zhan Kong smiled proudly. It felt so good to win back a victory in front of his elder brother.

An imperceptible smile appeared on Zu Guangyao's lips: "Xingyi, if they can't find them, how can I find them in the huge crowd?"

Zhan Kong's smile stopped: "So, you did it on purpose?"

Zu Guangyao smiled: "It was intentional and careless."

"Ouch!!!"

A sad and arrogant roar pierced the gloomy sky.

In the gray sky, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared at the highest point of Bo City - Yinmao Building.

The majestic howl seemed to announce its arrival to the world.

Its fleshy wings are half-stretched, half of it is hidden in the mist and mist, and the other half covers a dozen-story high-rise building.Winged Wolf...

Even though he was several kilometers away, Zhan Kong still recognized this leader-level demon.

He turned to look at Zu Guangyao: "Brother..."

"The fish has emerged from the water." Zu Guangyao raised his hand to interrupt Zhan Kong's unsaid words: "Xingyi, keep this while I go to meet this famous cardinal."

The constellation loomed on his chest, and with a flash of silver light, he disappeared on the top of the mountain.

A piece of green mountain forest suddenly cracked into countless pieces out of thin air like a fallen mirror.

Debris flew all over the sky, and a figure wearing a torn cassock fell out of the air.

"Lord Salan...Bald Donkey, you've already come, why bother leaving in a hurry?"

Zu Guangyao was hovering on the top of the tree. The howling sounds of wolves were silent, and the arrogant and domineering demon wolves collapsed to the ground one by one.

Never would I have imagined that the cardinal who terrified the world would actually be...a monk?
The world fell into an eerie silence, the only sound was the rustling of raindrops on the leaves.

"The poor monk has no enmity with you. We are just passing by. Why should you embarrass me?"

The monk stood still, hovering on the treetops, and waves surged out from under his feet to support his body.

Zu Guangyao stared at the monk and slowly shook his head: "I am very disappointed with your opening remarks. I hope my last words will be more pleasant to the ears later."

"When will it be time for revenge?"

The monk looked sad and chanted scriptures.

The drizzle around him turned into water and flowed towards him, forming a series of aqua blue waves that spiraled up, wrapping his whole body as if he was encased in a slender aqua blue transparent conch.

"I don't want to fight, the poor monk, please help yourself," the monk clasped his hands together and muttered something.

"Ah!"

Zu Guangyao sneered, and his whole person suddenly disappeared.

He seems to be traveling through different spaces, or stagnating, leaving several ghost images, or drifting, leaving behind a series of afterimages.

In just a few seconds, his figure changed countless times, and finally appeared directly in front of the monk.

He raised his fingers lightly, and some invisible power gathered.

The originally rustling trees seemed to have silenced themselves and remained motionless despite being blown by the wind and rain.

"[Space Compass·Death Axis]!"

Zu Guangyao started from his fingers, and the silver light spots lit up one by one from the places where he had appeared before.

The light points are intertwined, forming a silver compass hanging between heaven and earth in the gray sky.

The center of the cross of the compass is the monk in robes.

Zu Guangyao's figure disappeared, and a black axis parallel to the ground passed through the center of the compass in an instant!

Zu Guangyao's back suddenly appeared behind the monk.

The axis gradually disappeared, and the monk's figure gradually disappeared, turning into a puddle of water and falling into the mountain forest.

On the other side, the monk's figure condensed like water again, and he bowed with his hands and said: "Thank you for your hard work."

Zu Guangyao's pupils narrowed slightly, then slowly relaxed.

He could see that although the monk had used some means to avoid the fatal blow, the space compass covered a huge area, so he must have been uncomfortable.

"It's interesting." Zu Guangyao said with a smile on his lips.

If the Cardinal died in the hands of a mere [Space Compass], he would be surprised.

Blood-red mist filled the air, and Zu Guangyao's clothes exploded, but his whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of blood-red armor.

The blood surged into the sky and condensed into a huge giant.

This giant has legs as thick as ancient trees in the sky, and strong and burly arms. He is three-dimensional and tall, and his silver-gray body is as hard as metal.

In front of the giant, Xuefeng Mountain, which was originally quite towering, turned out to be as small as a small mound.

In Bo City, the crowd in the security isolation area looked at this sudden appearance of a towering body with earth-colored faces, huddled in a corner and shivering.

On a temporary watchtower made of earth magic, Zhan Kong stared at the body of the Titan that held up the sky and the earth, his eyes a little blurred.

The monarch-level Silver Moon Titan, the eldest brother’s Curse Borrowing Technique, has already mastered it to this extent...

　Life is not easy and I work overtime every day.

　　I'll see if I can find some time to write tomorrow...
