Chapter 1313: Chapter 1284: A Madman and a Fool
“What, did you say you want to break the Demon King’s curse?”
The soul attached to Ning Wangyang’s body couldn’t help but exclaim upon hearing Li Chen’s idea.
“Do you know what you’re talking about?”
“Of course I know.” Li Chen’s gaze was calm, with a thoughtful expression on his face: “As long as it’s a form of power, there’s no problem that can’t be solved. The Demon King’s curse sounds formidable, but is the curse he cast really unsolvable?”
“This…” The soul was momentarily at a loss for words: “Of course… it can be broken! But, based on your Roar-level, it’s absolutely impossible! Although the Demon King hasn’t reached the Heavenly Level, he is a true Sky Approacher! The last layer of Earth Level, the Endless Hell!”
“A curse cast by an Infinite Expert, who do you think you are? Just break it when you say so?!” The soul said somewhat exasperatedly.
However, at this moment, Li Chen suddenly smiled and asked the soul: “Hey, what’s your name?”
“Me?” The soul was taken aback, seemingly not understanding why Li Chen would suddenly ask this question, but proudly replied: “I… my name is Metatron! I was once a top Super Expert, I could easily kill a junior martial artist like you back in the day!”
“Oh?” Li Chen tilted his head: “Then how did you end up like this? Oh right, you mentioned it was because of the Demon King’s curse. So, just keep your mouth shut.”
“Metatron, is it? Maybe you were indeed formidable, but now you’re nothing. Ever heard of miracles? My nickname is the Miracle Creator, so shut your bird mouth and open your bird eyes wide, and watch how I create a miracle!” Li Chen said disdainfully.
“You… you…” Metatron was so furious that he couldn’t speak, and indeed, he couldn’t do anything to Li Chen now either.
He was merely a soul attached to Ning Wangyang, without the slightest bit of power. Perhaps he could control the actions of ordinary people, but for a strong person like Ning Wangyang, he couldn’t control him at all, and couldn’t even influence his thoughts, only trying to instigate with words.
“Ning Wangyang!” Failing to reason with Li Chen, Metatron immediately targeted Ning Wangyang.
He was inside Ning Wangyang’s body now and could communicate with him in a special way without letting him hear it.
“You’ve seen the power of the Demon King, are you really willing to let this guy experiment with your life? Aren’t you afraid of dying?”
Ning Wangyang opened his eyes, didn’t speak, but responded indifferently to Metatron’s question in his heart in a way Li Chen couldn’t hear.
“Not afraid.”
Metatron was so angry he almost jumped out of Ning Wangyang’s body.
“You’re a warrior, fine, you’re not afraid of dying, but do you really want to die here so inconspicuously? Die quietly at the hands of this kid, instead of dying on the battlefield?”
Ning Wangyang’s tone remained calm, as if he didn’t care about Metatron’s words at all.
“Dying for my brother is worth it.”
“…”
This time, Metatron was completely speechless.
He suddenly felt truly unlucky. Having waited so many years, finally finding a worthy strong person to possess, laboriously helping the other to enhance his power to this level, in the end, this guy didn’t care about him at all, nor even his own life.
“A madman, an idiot.” Metatron looked at Li Chen, then at the calm-faced Ning Wangyang, and fell silent.
Li Chen wasn’t joking, he really intended to help Ning Wangyang cleanse the curse.
And his words weren’t baseless either, he just didn’t tell Metatron the specifics.
When Ning Wangyang mentioned the curse, Li Chen had already started communicating with the Seventh Heavenly Pearl.
Reaching today’s level of power, Li Chen found communicating with the Seventh Heavenly Pearl increasingly easy.
In the beginning, he could only passively wait for the Seventh Heavenly Pearl to activate on its own, and couldn’t establish any rapport with it. Later, Li Chen discovered that the Seventh Heavenly Pearl could communicate with him, but only for the simplest conversations.
But now, having reached the Roar-level, he realized he could communicate regularly with the Seventh Heavenly Pearl.
Though this communication was nothing compared to the rapport with Red Moon.
But it was much better than before.
As for the curse issue, the response Li Chen got from the Seventh Heavenly Pearl was: try tasting it…
Indeed, that’s what the Seventh Heavenly Pearl said.
To the Seventh Heavenly Pearl, power is akin to food, except even among food, there are distinctions of taste.
So, regarding this so-called curse of the Demon King, the Seventh Heavenly Pearl suggested trying to taste it, and if it wasn’t good, it wouldn’t eat it.
Li Chen was helpless towards this bossy existence and could only agree to the Seventh Heavenly Pearl’s suggestion.
After all, if it indeed worked, he would make the Seventh Heavenly Pearl consume it all, even if by threatening or coaxing.
“Wangyang, take off your shirt.” After hesitating for a moment, Li Chen finally spoke.
“This kid seems determined, truly a madman…” Metatron muttered, simultaneously starting to ponder where to find a new host if Ning Wangyang died.
This kid before him seemed pretty good, though only at the Roar-level, his combat power seemed stronger than Ning Wangyang’s Burning Heat Level…
But quickly, Metatron dismissed this idea.
Compared to a madman, he would rather stay with a fool.
A fool can at least guess his thoughts, but with a madman, you never know what he’s going to do next!
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Ning Wangyang casually took off his clothes, fully trusting Li Chen, as if he didn’t care at all about the outcome if Li Chen failed.
Maybe, this man has been seeking death from the very beginning.
As if receiving some information, Li Chen furrowed his brow, then looked at Ning Wangyang and said, “Wangyang, it might hurt a bit later, you have to bear with it.”
“Boss, are you looking down on me by saying that?” Ning Wangyang laughed and said.
Li Chen nodded, and without saying anything more, he focused on Ning Wangyang’s upper body.
On Ning Wangyang’s body, more than half of it had already been eroded by bizarre magic patterns.
Unlike ordinary tattoos, these magic patterns seemed to be alive, and Li Chen could even see some of the lines moving occasionally, looking extremely eerie.
Ning Wangyang’s skin appeared smooth and not rough, with not a trace of mark on his entire upper body, as if he were a well-maintained dandy.
But Li Chen was clear, this man had followed him through countless battles, blocking knives and guns for him, already covered in scars. Yet all his scars had eerily disappeared.
Li Chen knew that his own body had gradually eliminated those old injuries thanks to the Purifying Body Pill and the supplementation of hyper regeneration cells.
But for what reason did Ning Wangyang achieve this?
Without a doubt, it was because of the Demon Race’s body and the curse from the Demon King.
This thing not only changed Ning Wangyang’s physique but even affected his personality. This was something Li Chen deeply understood.
Ning Wangyang was a very resilient man. In the past, no matter how hard or difficult it was, you would never hear a single discouraging word from his mouth.
But in recent days, this man has already actively sought death several times.
With eyes slightly narrowed, Li Chen took out the Seventh Heavenly Pearl.
Finding the most densely intertwined point of magic patterns on Ning Wangyang’s body, he pressed the black bead on it.
“What is this?” Seeing Li Chen’s action, Metatron couldn’t help but be puzzled.
Yet Ning Wangyang still remained motionless, didn’t ask a single question, maintaining full trust in Li Chen.
“Zzzt zzzt…”
A bizarre sound emanated from within Ning Wangyang’s body, and it could be seen that at the moment the Seventh Heavenly Pearl was pressed onto Ning Wangyang’s body, the magic patterns suddenly became active.
As if sensing a huge threat, these magic patterns frantically waved about immediately.
Pain surfaced on Ning Wangyang’s face.
However, Li Chen couldn’t help but reveal a look of delight.
Because he saw that those magic patterns were indeed gradually being absorbed into the Heavenly Pearl. It was clearly visible that the magic patterns on Ning Wangyang’s body were continuously diminishing.
And as these magic patterns diminished, a ‘squeak’ sound could be heard, these magic patterns seemed to have life, emitting painful screams.
Ning Wangyang also saw it, and uncontrollable rays of hope burst from his eyes.
Enduring the pain with gritted teeth, blood even began to seep through his teeth due to clenching too tightly.
Pain! Intense pain!
Pain like never before!
But he knew very well that this was his chance. So, no matter how painful it was, he had to endure it.
“Wangyang, hold on, just a little more!” Seeing Ning Wangyang, covered in cold sweat, Li Chen also tensed his nerves, couldn’t help but speak out.
“It tastes good.” At this time, the Seventh Heavenly Pearl conveyed such a message to Li Chen.
“Hurry up!” Li Chen couldn’t help but shout.
The Seventh Heavenly Pearl seemed startled too, didn’t respond anymore, but sped up the absorption.
“Eee—”
With a sharp and strange sound, the last magic pattern was sucked into the Seventh Heavenly Pearl.
Ning Wangyang’s tightly tensed nerves suddenly relaxed, and he passed out just like that.
