80 Li Lians Surprise Attack (2/2)

He stopped trying to pull her down and just focused on dodging her attacks.

Successive explosions could be heard, as Li Lian opened and closed her fists. Out of the few that she exploded, most of them at least got a piece of him.

'Dammit I need to go faster. Go faster!' He motivated himself.

Xiao Fang could easily have ran away from Li Lian, but what man runs from his wife?

Xiao Fang had only used his technique 3 times, but was already reaching his limit. Each time he pushed himself further, he would receive a backlash, but he didn't care. He wanted to push his boundaries to master the technique.

On the 5th execution, he felt like his spirit qi had been completely drained. Though he was in the Solid Body and Spirit Core realm, his Body cultivation was 7 stages ahead of his spirit cultivation.

'Dammit!'

Suddenly he felt his spirit qi was completely exhausted, so he started moving with his body cultivation alone.

When Xiao Fang could no longer use his movement technique, Li Lian's eyes widened.

'Now!' She thought as she directed all of her attacks towards Xiao Fang.

BOOM~

BOOM~

BOOM~

Xiao Fang was being knocked around by her exploding stars, but all he could do was try to dodge.

”Faster! I need to go faster!”

Suddenly, Xiao Fang felt his spirit qi returning to him, but at the same time he felt an unbearable burning sensation on his chest, slowly spreading down his body.

He didn't think twice about it, he simply reactivated his technique and went back to dodging her attacks.

Li Lian was surprised, but what surprised her wasn't the fact that he was moving even faster than before, but she could feel that his qi had significant changed. There was something sinister about it, and it made her feel extremely uncomfortable. Because of that she didn't want to return back down to the ground, now more than ever.

Despite how she felt, she knew she couldn't keep herself up for long. She needed to end things quickly.

Despite all that's happened since she started flying, only a few seconds had gone by.

Meanwhile, Xiao Fang was feeling better than ever, he felt like he had unlimited spirit qi at his disposal, it was great. He could always feel this power inside of him, but it felt extremely ominous so he never tried to use it in the past. However, now that he was using it he felt free and unstoppable.

As he was using his movement skill, he started to also use his Reaper's Grasp technique on her as well.

Feeling the familiar pull, she began to panic.

”Xiao Fang... no.”

Something didn't feel right. For some reason she was feeling scared, but not from losing, she was scared of his qi.

She tried to fight it, but couldn't keep herself up for long. Finally her flames disappeared and she began to free fall towards him.

At the speed she was going, if she hit the ground she would definitely be severely injured, but she didn't think about herself for even a moment.

Suddenly, only moments before she could hit the ground she gathered the dozen or so 'Exploding Stars' to surround her, and with the extension of her arms they all shot straight down surrounding Xiao Fang.

'Now!' She screamed in her head as she closed her fists.

BOOM!!!

The shockwave from that massive explosion created a massive crater and cushioned Li Lian's fall, but being completely drained of her strength she still fell unconscious upon hitting the ground.

Xiao Fang's body was steaming and his robes were ragged and torn, but he still stood upright as if he was unfazed by it, but in truth his body was in a much worse condition than Li Lian's, it was a surprise he was still standing at all.

Coated in an ominous black aura, he looked down at her with a blank expression. Despite looking at his fiancé in that state, he didn't feel anything. He was neither happy for his victory, nor worried for Li Lian. His indifference to everything almost gave him an air of arrogance as if nothing could be put in his eyes. Almost as if he was a peak immortal looking down at the weaklings in the mortal realm.

Suddenly, as he was staring at Li Lian's unconscious body, he heard a deep rumbling demonic voice echoing in his head.

”Feeeed~”

His dark aura reached out to her body, but the moment it touched her, he stopped.

Xiao Fang raised his head slightly, forcibly retracting the black aura that creepily engulfed his body. Xiao Fang's expressionless face changed to something that could only be described as one thing, disbelief.

'I... I definitely didn't imagine that, did I?' He thought.

No matter what it was it certainly wasn't good, because for a moment he felt like he wasn't looking at his unconscious beloved fiancé, but any old corpse. With that new power, he felt nothing, and that terrified him. He never wanted to feel like that again.

Either way, it was dark out. So he picked her up and carried her home to recover. As he carried her home he continued to ponder about where that power really came from. It was only after he got home that he learned the truth.

While he was home he undressed before slipping into his bed, but when Chun Hua saw him, the first thing she said was something he didn't expect.

”Oh, did you get a new tattoo? It looks good on you.”

The moment Xiao Fang looked down was the moment everything made sense to him.

Seeing the black markings on his chest and upper abs, he couldn't help wishing that he was imagining it.

The curse mark was spreading, and it was spreading fast.
