Seeing Leo’s candid admission, the flames of anger ignited in Kuhlmann and Batu’s eyes. Two evil and chilling auras swept towards Leo, who mobilized his Spiritual Power to resist.
“Kuhlmann, let’s turn this guy into a Corpse Curse to appease Regina’s departed soul. How about that?” Batu suggested.
With a dark expression, Kuhlmann responded maliciously, “That can be arranged.”
Leo smirked, “If you want my life, you might need to ask your Regina first.”
As the tension rose, a violent fluctuation erupted. Amid the chaos, transparent energy blades attacked Leo in an instant.
Leo didn’t underestimate the situation and summoned the Divine Dragon Sword.
Mentally controlling the sword, Leo conjured a myriad of sword shadows that shattered the incoming energy blades.
Afterward, the Divine Dragon Sword returned to Leo, and he exuded a commanding presence, appearing formidable.
Observing Leo’s sword, Batu questioned, “What… what kind of treasure is that?”
“Don’t worry about treasures. Kill this guy, and his belongings will naturally be ours!” Kuhlmann interjected, his lips moving slightly as a fierce wind stirred, conjuring a flag in his hand.
Simultaneously, Batu formed a hand seal and produced a staff-like object in his right hand.
“You brat, you’re about to experience the power of the Soul Summoning Flag and the Tormenting Ghost Staff!” Kuhlmann’s face contorted with evil intent.
Gathering his spiritual energy, Leo manifested a Wolf Hair Brush in his hand. With a flourish of his right hand and incantations, Leo began to draw Eight Trigrams.
Within moments, the eight hexagrams appeared in the air, materializing out of thin air.
Dispersing the brush, Leo retrieved a talisman and exclaimed, “Eight Trigrams merge, snap!”
Leo’s aura surged, and a faint golden halo enveloped his body.
The talisman ignited, transforming into a stream of light that wrapped around his hand. With a strike to the center of the Eight Trigrams, the light dispersed into the individual symbols.
The Eight Trigrams emitted a dazzling golden light, slowly rotating like a miniature Ferris wheel.
Visible ripples spread outward, dissipating the eerie aura that once pervaded the area.
With a sense of unease, Kuhlmann and Batu watched as the powerful fluctuation intensified, forgetting to attack Leo until a colossal wave of Spiritual Power converged where they stood.
“The first strike of the Eight Trigrams Curse, shatter!”
Leo swung his right hand, pointing towards Kuhlmann and Batu’s direction, and shouted.
The hexagrams from the mid-air Eight Trigrams detached and transformed into two golden lights, charging fiercely towards Kuhlmann and Batu.
Almost simultaneously with Leo’s call, Kuhlmann and Batu snapped back to reality.
Wielding the Soul Summoning Flag, Batu summoned a horde of souls to surge forth from within the flag.
Stabbing the Tormenting Ghost Staff into the ground, amid ghostly wails, numerous spectral creatures emerged from the earth.
These souls and spirits, like an army of ants, surged towards the two beams of golden light.
Although the first wave of spirits was torn apart by the golden light, a multitude followed suit.
The attacks of the two Eight Trigrams diminished significantly and dissipated just a meter away from Kuhlmann and Batu.
Resisting the hexagrams, Kuhlmann and Batu’s composure wavered. The two exchanged a glance, both harboring immense dread: this guy was too powerful!
The Eight Trigrams Curse comprised eight strikes, but with two opponents, Leo had to split his focus, ultimately unleashing only four strikes.
Leo found comfort in the escalating strength of each attack within the Eight Trigrams Curse, increasing exponentially each time. Thus, Leo was confident in using the curse to defeat the two adversaries.
As the souls and evil spirits surged towards him, Leo wasted no time. Forming hand seals rapidly, he directed his Spiritual Power towards the hexagrams, declaring, “Second strike of the Eight Trigrams Curse, shatter!”
At the utterance of “shatter,” the hexagrams detached from the symbols, transforming into two streams of light that surged towards Kuhlmann and Batu.
Wherever the light passed, a powerful energy wave swept through, cleansing countless spirits and malevolent beings.
Kuhlmann and Batu, alarmed, hurled their Soul Summoning Flag and Tormenting Ghost Staff into the air. Enchanting curses and commanding the flag and staff, they directed them towards the streams of light.
The collisions between the light streams and the objects were silent.
In the next moment, the flag shattered, and the staff broke.
Both Kuhlmann and Batu spat out blood simultaneously, their faces alternating between pale and flushed with a sickly hue.
“Batu, stop him before he completes his spell! Strike now!” Kuhlmann roared.
Batu gritted his teeth, vanished in an instant, and a strong aura of malice surged towards Leo.
With a cold smile on his lips, Leo, controlling the hexagrams, struck out as Batu reappeared.
A scream echoed as Batu spat blood and was sent flying backward.
Simultaneously, a red light shot towards Kuhlmann, who, despite his attempts to dodge using sorcery, found no escape.
Forced to confront the attack head-on, Kuhlmann produced a black Talisman-like object from his body to resist.
As the red light struck him, colorful ripples appeared on his body’s surface. After a brief moment of stability, Kuhlmann spewed blood and was flung backward, much like Batu.
The lingering power of the hexagrams dispersed in visible ripples, cutting through surrounding vegetation like pruning shears, neatly slicing off half of the plants.
With the hexagrams used, Leo now had two remaining.
Kuhlmann and Batu lay incapacitated on the ground, unable to rise.
Leo’s confidence surged as he knew the final two hexagrams would ensure these two adversaries remained defeated indefinitely.
