Chapter 717 - Suppressing the Curse

Plop!

The crisp sound of entering the water resounded in this hollowed mountain body. When Mandala leapt into the pitch-black pond, the boiling pond instantly turned violent as a rumbling noise constantly came from it.

Mu Chen’s focused gaze was filled in a little grave as black spikes drilled out from Mandala’s petite body.

Those black spikes seemed like living organisms as they tightly reined onto her physical body. As they wriggled, they seemed like venomous snakes that were greedily devouring her blood essence.

Mandala sat on the pond with her brows slightly knitted. She seemed to be enduring the pain, which made Mu Chen feel astonished in this heart. He was well-aware of this little girl’s pain tolerance. The pain that could make him wish that he was dead was of no threat to her. But, right now, she was enduring with her brows knitted, so what level had that sort of pain reached?

The sinister black spikes continuously grew from her body. In just a dozen breaths, they had already coiled around half of her body.

“This is the curse in her body?” Mu Chen was startled at this scene. Mandala’s strength was already so terrifying, he couldn’t imagine what sort of person could place such a curse on her body.

Along with the appearance of those black spikes, Mandala’s skin, which was initially fair, was gradually turning black. A brief moment later, only her golden eyes had retained their original colour.

However, Mu Chen could sense that her figure seemed to be intensely trembling. She appeared to be suppressing something with all she had...

Tsk!

The black pond water continuously boiled when, suddenly, Mandala’s long hair danced. Blacklight poured out from her frail-looking back as a colossal black spike that looked like a venomous python charged out.

Hiss! Hiss!

The sinister black spike violently danced. As it moved, a deep and painful groan would come from Mandala. Her teeth were clenched together, but there was blood flowing down from the gaps between her teeth.

That scene was truly terrifying.

Buzz!

However, when the black spike charged out, the ancient runes on the wall of the mountain interior burst out with intense light. Gentle beams of Spiritual Energy flew out as they shot towards the sinister spike that was coming out from Mandala’s back.

The beams of light shone over, causing the spike to emit white smoke as sharp whistles resounded. Judging from the looks of it, it was as if there was life in that black spike.

However, those beams could not thoroughly suppress the black spike. The black spike frantically struggled as it continued tol slowly drill out of Mandala’s body. With every bit of it drilling out, Mu Chen saw the trace of blood on the corner of Mandala’s lips becoming even denser. As if that black spike was about to thoroughly drill out from her body, taking her life away.

Rumble!

The black pond intensely boiled as black beams shot from the pond, pulling the black spike. But, evidently, it could only briefly slow down the speed.

The sinister black spike slowly pulled out of Mandala’s petite body, along with fresh blood. That bloody scene made even Mu Chen feel fearful.

However, Mandala had not uttered a sound while enduring that sort of pain. She had her teeth tightly clenched as she bitterly endured.

“Mu Chen!”

However, there was still a limit to her endurance. When Mandala raised her head, her face was filled with beads of sweat as she gritted her teeth. Her young and tender voice sounded hoarse at this moment, which would make others take pity on her.

Mu Chen immediately nodded his head as he formed some seals with his hands. The Spiritual Energy in his Sovereign Sea rolled as a mysterious blacklight burst out, floating before his eyes.

The Immortal Page quietly floated in the air, covered with ancient and mysterious runes with a faint purple light emitting from it that could calm the minds of others.

Mu Chen stared at the Immortal Page and looked at Mandala again. In the end, he gritted his teeth and flicked his finger, sending the Immortal Page flying towards the latter. Since he had chosen to trust her, then he wouldn’t be indecisive.

Even though this Immortal Page was very important to him.

The Immortal Page flew towards the sky above the pond. Mandala waved her tiny hand with great effort as a dark light shot out and enveloped the Immortal Page. After that, the Immortal Page was seen emitting a dark purple light.

When the light burst out, a huge Mandala Flower slowly appeared in the air, blossoming its enchanting petals. A dark purple light descended and shrouded Mandala within.

Tsk! Tsk!

With the descent of that dark purple light, the sinister black spike wriggled with unease. Any part of the black spike that came in contact with the purple light showed signs of dissolving and black liquid endlessly flowed down.

Hissss! Ssssss!

Sharp whistles were heard from the black spike as the speed of it drilling out was halted. Furthermore, it was still slowly being suppressed into Mandala’s body by the light of the Mandala Flower.

Boom!

The black spike was clearly unwilling to submit as a black light burst from it, the spike pierced through space as it swiftly swept towards the Mandala Flower.

However, the Mandala Flower was still emitting a purple light while facing its attack. The purple light formed into a shield and no matter how the black spike attacked, it could not break through the defence. On the contrary, every single time it launched an attack, there would be liquid flowing down that was being corroded by the purple light.

Mu Chen quietly felt relieved at this sight. Fortunately, it was effective.

Because of the help from the Mandala Flower, Mandala had clearly felt less pressure. Her tightly knitted brows had also eased a little as she stretched her hand out and wiped the smear of blood on the corner of her lips. Right now, she had lost her strength due to the terrifying pain, so even such a small action was tough for her.

Up in mid-air, the Mandala Flower’s victory was getting more explicit as the state of the sinister black spike became even weaker. In the end, it went back into Mandala’s body.

Mandala relaxed only when she sensed the state of the black spike. Shortly after, she couldn’t bear the intense pain in her body and couldn’t help kneeling down in the pond as she took in deep breaths with beads of cold sweat endlessly flowing down on her exquisite face.

However, in that instant, when she loosened up, the black spike that was only left with half a foot abruptly burst out. A spike that was covered with saw teeth shot towards her throat.

The black spike swiftly grew in size in Mandala’s pupils. However, she could not avoid it with her current strength, so her face instantly turned pale.

Rustle!

However, just when Mandala was about to clench her teeth and take on that sneak attack, the sharp gale suddenly stopped half an inch before her throat. However, the sharp gale still made a streak of blood on her throat.

Mandala raised her head in shock as she saw that, not knowing when, there was a hand on the spike. Looking up from the hand, she saw Mu Chen before her and that he had grabbed onto the spike at the crucial moment.

However, when Mu Chen held onto the black spike, the sharp saw teeth instantly cut into his palm as fresh blood flowed down. Also, a crucible pain came from his palm as well.

Under that intense pain, he only endured for a few breaths of time before he kneeled onto one leg. His eyes turned bloodshot but he still clenched his teeth and refuse to loosen his grip. On the contrary, he even slowly pulled the black spike back.

Mandala clenched her teeth and waved her hand. The Mandala Flower up in the air instantly burst out with dazzling purple light. It was only a rustle, and the black spike could no longer prop itself up as it broke free from Mu Chen’s grip, before it was suppressed back into Mandala’s body.

Plop.

Mu Chen finally couldn’t bear it any longer and his body fell into the pond. His state was miserable. It took him a long while before he could climb up with his body slightly trembling with an expression of lingering fear.

“Are you courting death?” Seeing that he was fine, Mandala felt relieved as she coldly said.

“I’m helping you.” Mu Chen’s face was depressed. He had done such a great job helping her, but was reprimanded instead. What logic was this?

“Don’t barge in without knowing anything. If it weren’t for the Immortal Page, you would also be infected by the curse!” Mandala coldly reprimanded without any trace of politeness.

Mu Chen’s face slightly changed as he immediately looked at his palm. Indeed, he saw a sinister black mark on his palm but, fortunately, a purple light was emitting from within his body and was slowly erasing the black mark. That purple light naturally came from the Immortal Page.

Mu Chen wiped his cold sweat. He had witnessed how terrifying the curse in Mandala’s body was. If he didn’t have the Immortal Page, he would definitely die from the infection with his current strength.

“Are you much better?” Mu Chen looked at Mandala.

“For the time being.” Mandala moved her body, but realised that she had lost her strength and immediately frowned her brows.

Mu Chen stretched his hand out and retrieved the Immortal Page. After that, he looked at Mandala and curled his lips. He retrieved a big black robe and wrapped it on Mandala’s petite and fair body, before carrying her up from the cold pond.

Mandala only lightly cast a glance at him for his actions, but did not resist. She quietly leaned against his chest and was recovering her strength.

Mu Chen carried her and leapt out of the pond, before placing her on a rock.

The little girl quietly sat on the rock as her wet hair stuck to her body. The big robe was also firmly stuck to her body, revealing her little curves.

She quietly recovered a little before looking at Mu Chen, who was a little bored, and lightly said, “Thanks for your help. To repay you, I will tell you the secret techniques of the Great Solar Undying Body that I know about.”

Hearing her words, Mu Chen’s mind jolted.
