1354 The Curse… Broke Out Completely? (1/2)

It was a girl's hand, white as jade and with skin so smooth that it was as if it didn't have any pores. The whole palm seemed to glow with a sparking light. Just by looking at it, one could imagine that the owner must be a stunning beauty. However, there was a faint turquoise light lingering on the palm.

Nether Puppeteer Patriarch stood where he was. He was only one step away from the Black Temple, but he was not in a hurry to enter.

'Resurrecting Tian Cang? This idea downright goes against all the heavenly laws!' The Way of Life and Death was governed by the supreme Powers of the Laws. It was very difficult for even those above the Great Saint Realm to resurrect a person, let alone a Great Saint. When a man died, his soul would be pulled by the Power of the Laws into a mysterious place. It was too difficult to bring back the soul, and a person would not resurrect without it. That was why he was not anxious at all that Tian Cang was being resurrected.

His eyes moved slightly, looking up the fair arm. First, he saw a black dress, then above that, a perfect collarbone and a slender, white neck. He glanced up further and saw a breathtakingly beautiful face.

'She is indeed very beautiful! Oh?' Nether Puppeteer Patriarch's pupils suddenly constricted because under this charming appearance, he felt a fearful, oppressive aura.

Nethery's pupils had turned green, and her hair, which had recovered after eating the Three-cup Chicken, had once again turned dark green. They waved gently behind her and, with her fair skin, made her look like a fairy.

Nether Puppeteer Patriarch narrowed his eyes. A smile came over his old face, and his lips parted, revealing his brown teeth. ”Little girl, are you going to stop me?”

Nethery didn't answer him, but her aura grew stronger and stronger.

”Do you know who I am?” said the Patriarch. His voice seemed to have magic, which could enchant those who heard it. Even then, a rustling sound rang out of his sleeve. The next moment, one metal bug after another crawled out of it, rushing madly toward Nethery's arm.

Nethery remained cold and expressionless even as the bugs were about to touch her palm. Her long eyelashes fluttered, then her big eyes turned and fell upon the bugs. Suddenly, a dark green light emerged, and then all the metal bugs became stiff and fell to the ground from the Patriarch's arm.

Nether Puppeteer Patriarch winced at the sight. He found that his divine will engraved in these metal bugs had been erased in an instant! 'Did this girl do this?' He was slightly shocked, but he quickly regained his cool.

Scram? Nether Puppeteer Patriarch's cheek twitched. No one had dared to speak to him like that for a long time.

”Little girl… You are digging your own grave. Do you want me to make you into a puppet?” he said coldly.

Boom!

A tremendous force erupted, lifting Nether Puppeteer Patriarch from the ground and throwing him away from the Black Temple before he could react. His figure arced through the air like a meteor, then smashed into the ground.

Nethery floated slowly into the air, her eyes cold and emotionless.

The attack of this level naturally did Nether Puppeteer Patriarch no harm at all. He rolled over, stood up, and gently swept the dust from his clothes. ”What a hot-tempered girl… But I like it. A hot-tempered girl like you deserves to have her belly cut open, her entrails removed, and made into a beautiful puppet that others can admire like a work of art.”

He smiled faintly, then raised his hand and moved his fingers. In the sky, the Earth Nether Puppet holding the great hammer moved. Like a thunderbolt, she sped through the air and went toward Nethery.

Er Ha and Ice Saint turned pale. There was no way that Nethery could resist the attack of this fearsome Earth Nether Puppet. However, it was too late for them to help her because the puppet was already on her.

The puppet bent her attractive body, then sprung forward like a spring and landed beside Nethery, lifting her great hammer and bringing it down hard toward Nethery's head. If this blow struck, Nethery's head would certainly burst like a watermelon.

Er Ha and Ice Saint gasped at the same time. How could Nethery block the attack? Was she going to die like this? However, what happened next horrified them. They saw Nethery raise her hand…

Boom!

The hammer struck, but it was stopped by her hand! The blow that came with a terrifying force was blocked as if it was nothing!

”What?” Nether Puppeteer Patriarch's cloudy eyes burst into a bright light. The Earth Nether Puppet, on the other hand, tilted her head, her mechanical eyes flashing as if wondering why her invincible hammer was blocked.

Nethery glanced at the great hammer, then at the Earth Nether Puppet, her eyes cold and emotionless. Then, she raised her hand.

Boom!

A terrible force erupted from her palm, accompanied by a turquoise light.

The next moment, the Earth Nether Puppet was hit hard by the light, throwing her back and smashing her into the ground. She slid far away and plowed a deep trench across the earth until she reached Nether Puppeteer Patriarch's side and was stopped by his hand.

There was a deep green light surging on the hammer. Nether Puppeteer Patriarch stooped, stretched out his withered hand, and gently wiped his finger on the hammer. The light stained his finger and began corroding it instantly. The puppet's body, which was made of the best materials, was also being slowly corroded.

”The power of the curse…” Nether Puppeteer Patriarch took a deep breath, looked at Nethery, and grinned. ”So you are the Netherworld Woman, the so-called Source of Curses?” he said.

Instead of fear, he showed great interest when he learned Nethery's identity. He squinted at her as she floated in midair, and he could vaguely see a dark green snake coiled around her.
