Chapter 253 (2/2)

Kuwako’s pupil shrunk as she nodded, “You’re very strong. Even my Schoolmaster perhaps won’t be more powerful than you.”

“I can make your strength to surge up greatly if you become my subordinate. I guarantee that if you practice according to my methods for three years at the most, your strength will soar by tenfold,” said Tang Xiu.

“Hmph.” Kuwako sneered, “Is your strength even ten times stronger than mine? Impossible.”

“You’re mistaken. My ability is not limited to just straight up killing. If you didn’t come that fast and gave me enough time to arrange a good formation array, I dare say I’d be able to wipe out all those 40 plus people of yours within half a minute.”

“You know about formation arrays?” Kuwako was overwhelmed with shock as she asked with a flabbergasted expression.

“I know a lot of things, formation array is just only one of them. I’ll offer you again. If you can completely pledge your allegiance to me, I can help you in secret so it will be easier for you to become the head of the Yamamoto clan as well as the Schoolmaster of the Northstar One Blade School. I can even help you develop these two powers to become the most powerful forces in Japan.”

Kuwako stared at Tang Xiu and asked with a deep tone, “Who are you in the end?”

“If you want to know my identity, you have to agree to my conditions. After you go back, you can investigate about me slowly. But the premise is that you are alive and able to go back,” said Tang Xiu indifferently.

“There’s nothing that can make me believe you,” said Kuwako whilst shaking her head.

Tang Xiu pointed at Kuwako and said, “Do you think I need to lie to you?”

Kuwako was silent. She wasn’t repugnant of submitting herself to a powerful expert, but she always felt that if she decided it now, it would be too hasty and careless. After half a minute of pondering, she then asked slowly, “Are you not afraid of me betraying today’s oath after I leave?”

“Why should I? You won’t dare violate it,” replied Tang Xiu with a smile.

“From where this confidence of yours come from?” replied Kuwako with a sneer.

Tang Xiu said indifferently, “So long as you do as I say, I guarantee that you’ll believe it!”

“Do what?” asked Kuwako.

Tang Xiu grabbed her palm and used the Mitsubishi army knife to make a bloody scar. Then, he also bit his finger and dropped a drop of his blood on her palm. He then said with a deep tone, “Don’t reject. Be quiet and don’t move. Receive the sensation that will enter your body, you’ll find out the benefits you’re about to get later.”

Kuwako instinctively wanted to reject it, yet, upon hearing Tang Xiu’s words, she thought that Tang Xiu was about to scam her. In order to find out about what Tang Xiu would do, she then slowly relaxed.

Tang Xiu’s finger pressed the wound on Kuwako’s palm. Along with the control of his mind, the drop of blood on her palm gradually seeped into her body and slowly moved through her blood vessels and fused inside her heart.

“Soul Ruling Spell!”

Tang Xiu’s fingers pinched a series of imprints on Kuwako’s palm as he tapped the star force condensation at the tip of his finger on Kuwako’s palm, controlling it to flow into her heart along with her blood vessels, entering her heart and fusing with the drop of his blood therein.

“Boom…”

At present, Kuwako felt that there was only darkness in front of her. A sweet taste invaded her throat as she spurted out a mouthful of blood. If Tang Xiu didn’t move to the side to avoid it, the blood would’ve sprayed onto his body.

Tang Xiu panted heavily in secret. The requirement for the Soul Ruling Spell was extremely harsh. If the other party had the thought to repel it, he would simply be unable to do it with his current cultivation base. Fortunately, Kuwako didn’t repel it and relaxed her mind entirely.

Standing in the dark, he was already able to feel Kuwako’s body condition. He was sure that if he wanted her to die, he could make her heart explode if he willed it.

“Y-You… what did you do to me?” Kuwako erased the blood on the corner of her mouth, looking at Tang Xiu with an aghast expression.

Tang Xiu said indifferently, “It’s a Soul Ruling Spell. It rules over your life. If you dare to betray my orders and intentions, as long as I will it, your heart will explode and you’ll die a tragic death directly.”

“What?”

She also had the feeling of her life force being controlled by another. She now realized that she could even “see” the situation inside her own body. She could even see the bloody archaic runes above her heart that was more bright and colorful than her own heart.

“My body!”

Kuwako slowly felt the unusualness and the abnormality of her body. Even though she couldn’t move at present, she could clearly feel that an amazing and mysterious power was bursting out from the blood. A layer of glimmering luster slowly gushed out from the blood vessels and was integrated into her internal organs, fusing into her muscles and tendons, finally settling in the bones.

Her constitution was getting stronger.

Tang Xiu said indifferently, “You can feel it now? Like I told you, I will give benefits if you become my subordinate. Likewise, the benefits you can have later are far more than these. Say the oath and pledge your allegiance to me and I’ll teach you one cultivation technique. Later on, if you cultivate diligently, your strength will certainly soar for more than tenfold within three years.”

Kuwako swallowed her saliva desperately. She looked at Tang Xiu and asked, “Are you a Sorcerer? And you just cast a black magic on me?”

“A sorcerer?” Tang Xiu replied with a disdaining expression and continued, “People who call themselves sorcerers are nothing but trivial conmen! If I continue cultivating for a few more years, my cultivation will breakthrough substantially, even the most powerful sorcerer on Earth will be no more than the tip of my finger.”

Kuwako’s heart throbbed and palpitated faster.

She clenched her teeth and then said with a heavy tone, “Please give me back my ability to move.”

Tang Xiu stretched his hand to relieve the seals on Kuwako’s acupoints and didn’t even to put his guard up, as he didn’t believe that Kuwako thought to move against him this fast.

Kuwako moved her body up and down. Following that, she then knelt in front of Tang Xiu with her right fist on top of her left chest, whereas her left hand made a special hand seal and vowed, “I, Kuwako Yamamoto, swear an oath to serve the man in front of me as my Master starting from today. His command is my wish, and I shall never betray him. If I were to violate this vow, let me be forever imprisoned in the thousand cold pools.”
