Chapter 500 - 500: A Big Gamble

Master Tang’s weak state just now was obviously the result of the backlash. Meng Bo was very clear about this.

He did not care if Yu Su was injured.

However, Yu Su was Ye Tang’s good friend. If Yu Su was injured, Ye Tang would definitely hate him even more.

Master Tang pondered for a moment and replied, “You’re right. The other party will also be injured by this spell.”

Even if he did not say it, as long as the few people in front of him asked other metaphysical masters, they would be able to get an answer.

Hu Rui asked, “If you add my blood, you can injure the other party to the greatest extent. Is this the reason why you can break the curse?”

He was displeased.

Why didn’t this old Daoist priest say something so important earlier?

He did not really care if Yu Su was injured, but being kept in the dark by this old Daoist made him feel very aggrieved.

There was another point. Yu Zong was watching from the side. He was Yu Su’s biological father. If Hu Rui really injured Yu Su with blood, would Yu Zong be angry?

Hu Rui couldn’t figure it out.

Master Tang stroked his beard and explained, “You’re right. If I don’t hurt the other party, I won’t be able to undo the curse. But don’t worry, even if I attack the other party, I won’t take his life. At most, I’ll let him have a taste of the pain you’ve suffered.”

The counterattack was only for self-preservation.

This was an eye for an eye. There was nothing wrong with that.

Yu Miao pinched her thigh hard and told herself to endure it. She really wanted to rush to her cousin and tell him not to hesitate.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t.

Yu Zong was right in front of her. If she did that, she would definitely make Yu Zong hate her.

Hu Rui lowered his eyes, deep in thought.

This old Daoist priest’s words sounded right, but there was something wrong. He wanted Yu Su to have a taste of pain, but who could guarantee what would happen after the blood dripped? n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He couldn’t believe everything the old Daoist said.

This was a huge gamble. If he won, he would return to normal. If he lost, something might happen that he could not control.

Perhaps even Yu Zong would be disappointed in him.

Hu Rui made up his mind and said firmly, “Forget it, I won’t drip my blood.

Master Tang, find me a spiritual artifact to suppress the pain! I plan to survive this period.”

As soon as he said this, Yu Zong quietly let go of his tightly clenched hand.

Of course, he did not want his nephew’s blood to backfire on Yu Su.

However, Yu Miao’s face was filled with disbelief. She almost questioned him, but when she saw the approval on Yu Zong’s face, she endured it.

Why did he decide against it?

Hu Rui had always been vicious to outsiders. How could he give up this opportunity so easily?

Just because Yu Su was related to him by blood?

The more she thought about it, the angrier Yu Miao became. Her lungs were about to explode.

While Yu Zong was not paying attention, she could not help but ask Master Tang, “Master, will breaking the curse really not hurt that person’s body? The person will only feel pain right?”

Master Tang said, “Yes.”

She would be fine at that time, but it would slowly flare up in the future.

Then, Yu Miao looked at Hu Rui expectantly, hoping that he would change his mind.

Hu Rui shook his head. “I’ve already made up my mind. I won’t undo it.”

He would rather be in pain for a month than do something with unknown results.

Yu Miao really couldn’t help but persuade him, “Cousin, you don’t have to feel burdened. You will just transfer the pain in your body to Yu Su. Who asked her to make the first move? You didn’t do anything wrong.”

Hu Rui still shook his head.

Yu Zong frowned and stared at Yu Miao. “Alright, since Hu Rui is unwilling to undo it, let’s end today’s ritual here. I wonder if Master Tang can lend us a few spiritual artifacts.”

Master Tang had yet to react, his eyes were filled with doubt.

Was he going to give up just like that?

He came here today to get Hu Rui and Meng Bo’s blood so he could report to the higher-ups.

This time, he actually returned empty-handed!

Thinking of this, Master Tang felt a little resentful.

He said, “This spiritual artifact was passed down from my sect. It’s not my personal item, so I can’t lend it out privately. I’m really sorry.”

Yu Zong’s eyes flashed with understanding. “It’s fine. I understand.”

Master Tang was unwilling to give up. He suggested again, “This curse has caused them unbearable pain. It’s best to use their blood to remove it. They will recover today. It won’t hurt the person who cast the curse. You’d better think about it again..”
