Chapter 69: [Nail-Head Seven Arrows, Crime of the Same Clan] (First update, please follow)

~8 min read 1,577 words

Supernatural Ability Era Year 420, Lu Chengtong is 151 years old, cultivation at the Third Layer of the Golden Core Realm, obtaining a new supernatural ability for the second time.

This supernatural ability gave him a big surprise.

【Nail-Head Seven Arrows】: A curse-heart technique; by combining a straw man with writing talismans and forming seals, one can collect the enemy's three souls and seven spirits, taking a person's life from a distance.

To cast this supernatural ability, one needs to use aura as a guide, then set up an altar to perform the technique; after a complex seven-day ritual, one can curse the target to death using the Dao of Causality.

It should be noted that casting this technique requires consuming one's own lifespan and cannot be used lightly.

If he had had this supernatural ability earlier, why would he have spent so much energy, ambushing for decades, inciting a great war between two factions, and finally cultivating three Golden Core cultivators, just to avenge the family's great hatred!?

He could have cursed the enemy to death all by himself.

As for the required aura, it is very simple for him who possesses the 【Circular Light Manifestation】 supernatural ability and can be easily obtained.

It's just that he doesn't know how much of his own lifespan it will consume to curse a Golden Core cultivator to death.

He is currently at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm, with a lifespan of six hundred years; he is only one hundred and fifty years old, very young, and still has over four hundred years to squander.

Just right, some time ago, in order to prevent himself from being involved in any causal connections, Lu Chengtong checked the past of the three people he dealt with before—Zhao Yongcheng, Sun Xiao, and Zheng Lansong—once again, just as watching a holographic image series.

It didn't matter if he didn't watch, but it really let him discover several blood relatives of Zheng Lansong and Sun Xiao.

Because of the "previous lesson" of himself as an avenger, Lu Chengtong has a great obsession with the four words "cut weeds and eliminate roots."

He successively killed several of them secretly, and currently, there is one left named Sun Zuo.

Sun Zuo, cultivation at the Eighth Layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm, is a grandson of Sun Xiao's brother, and is currently an inner disciple of the Danquan Peak of the Ziyao Immortal Sect, and is a good alchemist.

Lu Chengtong checked his experience for a period after Sun Xiao's death and found that he had investigated the cause of Sun Xiao's death, and moreover, he had received favors from Sun Xiao.

This is a hidden danger.

He originally intended to go and deal with it personally; after all, the clone does not have the Earth Escape supernatural ability, and if something happens, it will be more troublesome; going with the main body will not leave any traces.

Now, there is a new choice.

It's just eliminating a Foundation Establishment cultivator, how much lifespan can it consume? Lu Chengtong decided to give it a try.

He must give it a try; he even thought about killing a Golden Core to try it out after having a reference, otherwise, when he really needs to use this supernatural ability, the supernatural ability is launched, and his lifespan is exhausted, that would be a loss that outweighs the gain.

According to the information fed back by the supernatural ability, he can curse cultivators who are one major realm higher than himself to death; it is imaginable that the lifespan paid will be a massive number.

Lu Chengtong chose a room in the basement, set up an altar in the room, wrote seven talismans, made a book and a small peach wood bow and arrow, and finally made a straw man.

Launching the 【Circular Light Manifestation】 supernatural ability, he found Sun Zuo's figure, took a wisp of his aura, and hit it into the straw man.

He wrote the two words "Sun Zuo" on the book, burned a talisman, then knelt and bowed to the straw man once, and wrote "Kneel and bow once today" in the book.

The supernatural ability had been launched, and Lu Chengtong discovered that he had lost one month of lifespan.

At the same time, a wisp of Sun Zuo's soul aura was guided over and fell onto that straw man.

On the second day, Lu Chengtong burned the talisman again, knelt and bowed, and recorded it in the book.

This time, he lost another month of lifespan.

This repeated until the fifth day.

At this time, Sun Zuo, who was concentrating on alchemy in a pill room on Danquan Peak, suddenly felt his legs go soft and fell down; the pill furnace lost control and exploded with a boom.

Fortunately, the explosion power was not great, and the pill room had a buffer array, so Sun Zuo was not injured by the explosion.

Sun Zuo felt a bit dizzy; in a trance, he seemed to see a person, that person showing piety, kneeling and bowing to him.

He shook his head, only feeling that his soul was not attached to his body, and his body could not exert any strength, so he lay on the ground, took out a token weakly, injected Spirit Qi, and shouted into it.

"Senior Brother, come quickly to the pill room to save me!"

It is common for alchemists to explode furnaces; sometimes, the explosion power is too great, and the alchemist will be in danger of life.

Therefore, their identity tokens can communicate with each other within Danquan Peak.

On the other side, hearing the voice from the jade tablet he carried, the true disciple of Danquan Peak, Huang Jue, immediately rushed over.

Arriving in the pill room, Huang Jue was shocked to see Sun Zuo's appearance, hurriedly stepped forward to check, and after checking, he was even more shocked and said:

"Junior Brother! Your three souls and seven spirits have already lost one soul and two spirits! How are you practicing alchemy? How can this furnace explosion be so precise?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Zuo had a confused face and said tremblingly:

"Senior Brother, I suddenly felt powerless, which is why the furnace exploded; the furnace explosion did not hurt me."

Huang Jue listened to him finish and frowned, saying:

"In that case, you should have been hit by some kind of curse spell. Junior Brother, have you offended anyone, the kind with great hatred?"

People who practice immortality, where are there people who don't offend anyone? Fighting for resources, offending many people, who knows who it is.

Sun Zuo couldn't help but smile bitterly and said:

"Small hatreds and accumulated grievances are many, but recently I have been practicing medicine in the mountains and haven't gone out to provoke trouble!"

Immediately after, he asked anxiously again:

"Senior Brother, is there any way to break it?"

Huang Jue replied in a deep voice:

"According to the information I have, such spells can only be broken by destroying the sacrifice of the spell itself or killing the caster himself. Do you have any clues?"

"I vaguely saw a person bowing to me, but I have never seen this person!"

Sun Zuo said helplessly and angrily:

"Let me know who it is, I will definitely make you pay the price!"

Huang Jue sighed and said:

"Then I don't know how to break it either."

Sun Zuo added:

"I can still perceive his approximate direction, I don't know if it will be useful?"

Huang Jue shook his head and said:

"Without knowing the aura, it cannot be tracked; knowing the direction is also useless. I will call a fellow disciple to look after you, and then go ask the Peak Master if he knows how to break it."

However, the Peak Master of Danquan Peak, Wang Yingquan, didn't understand this either and was also helpless.

On the sixth day, Sun Zuo passed out completely.

Huang Jue came to see, only to see that Sun Zuo's three souls and seven spirits only had one soul and three spirits left!

'This curse technique is so vicious and powerful; Sun Zuo is afraid he is doomed! I don't know which god he provoked.'

On the seventh day, in front of the altar, Lu Chengtong continued to perform the technique.

The power of the supernatural ability was still guiding, burning talismans, kneeling and bowing, writing words.

After this set was done, only to see a face appear on that straw man, who else could it be but Sun Zuo?

At this time, his three souls and seven spirits had all been trapped on this straw man.

"You, who are you, why do you want to harm me? Do we have any hatred?"

Sun Zuo looked at the guy wearing a mask and a black robe and bamboo hat in front of him and asked in horror.

Lu Chengtong shook his head and said:

"You and I originally had no hatred, but who told you to have blood relations with Sun Xiao? This is the crime of the same clan."

Sun Zuo was stunned; he thought there might be some deep hatred he didn't know about, but he didn't expect this answer, which made him almost vomit blood, so angry that he jumped up and down, angrily saying:

"Just because my surname is Sun, you want to harm me?!" ===== CHAPTER 70 =====
