Chapter 359

Sienna was hit in the face with the robe. Only then did she realize her situation. She pretended to be obedient and docile, nodding weakly. “Alright, I’ll do whatever you say.” With surprising strength, she reached out and put the robe on. Seeing that she was now dressed, Gardner grabbed her hand. He slashed her fingertip directly, using positive energy, drawing blood and pulling out a talisman, which he began to paint with her blood.

Sienna winced in pain, not just from her arm, but from her fingertip. Internally, she cursed. This guy has no chivalry at all! But she also knew he was the only one who could help her now.

Once Gardner finished drawing the talisman, he chanted a spell and placed the talisman on Siemiur’s body. Then, forming a hand seal, he followed her blood trail all the way to the oil lamp in the distance. He located the lamp belonging to Sienna and cast a spell. “Extinguish!” He attempted to snuff out the flame using positive energy. If he succeeded, it would break the ritual the opposing party had set up.

At the hospital, Phoebe had been focused on the oil lamp the entire time. She immediately sensed a foreign positive energy acting upon Sienna’s lamp. Just as the other party was about to put out the flame, she forcefully suppressed their energy with her own. At the same time, she spoke coldly. “Get lost!” She did it on purpose.

At the same time, Gardner’s mind suddenly exploded with a voice carrying immense power. “Get lost!” His chest tightened, and before he could react, blood sprayed from his mouth. His face turned ashen. “Damn it!” His opponent was powerful. And that voice sounded like Phoebe’s.

His expression turned grim. Wiping the blood from his lips with a finger, he immediately drew another talisman. Slamming it onto Sienna, he shouted, “Explode!” The talisman ignited instantly, scaring Sienna so badly that she jumped in fright. Then she noticed Gardner looking at her with an icy, terrifying expression. Feeling a chill of fear, she quickly sat back down.

Gardner reached into his robes and pulled out a dagger, swirling with dense evil energy. Channeling every ounce of his positive energy, he continuously formed hand seals, chanting another spell. He drew from the dagger’s evil energy and launched an attack.

On the other side, Phoebe immediately sensed the attack coming her way. Without hesitation, she took out her seal, which contained its own evil energy. She activated it instantly, not only neutralizing the enemy’s attack but also sending a counterattack back.

Gardner’s cultivation level was technically higher than Phoebe’s, but his actual strength was far inferior. So when the counterattack struck him, a surging wave of evil energy engulfed his entire body. He let out a gasp, then spat out another mouthful of blood. His face turned pale, and his chest burned with unbearable pain.

His eyes were filled with disbelief. “How is this possible?” He could confirm that the one casting spells against him was Phoebe. He had been so sure he was stronger than her. Gardner thought he could protect Sienna and prevent the curse from being broken. He had also expected to seriously injure Phoebe in return. And yet, he was the one who ended up gravely wounded. He couldn’t understand. In Rack in Orat, he had deliberately rushed past Phoebe, secretly analyzing her cultivation level. Back then, he had sensed that he was stronger.

Chapter 9

For a moment, Raylan stopped forming seals. With his index finger, he traced circles over the two paper dolls. After drawing 49 circles, his eyes lit up. “Break!” And the others watched in shock as the two paper dolls suddenly ignited on their own. Phoebe lightly tapped the two oil lamps. “Swach!” Immediately, the talismans attached to the lamps caught fire. Lackering Camies suddenly took on a strange blue glow. Then the flames shot up, burning even more intensely. Elliot and the others felt as if they were seeing things. In the flames, they seemed to catch glimpses of Sienna and Cain’s silhouettes. Then two raging flames intertwined in midair. The flame representing Cain began to devour the one representing Sienna.

On the other side, Sen had already been frightened when she saw Gardner cough up two mouthfuls of blood. His face had turned ghastly pale. A wave of dread rose in her chest. Did he fall? Was he really this useless? Just as the thought crossed her mind, her expression drastically changed. She collapsed to the ground, her entire body trembling. She felt her luck inside her being torn apart. It was forcefully ripped away, surging outward. Her face twisted in horror! “No! Stop!” She could even begin to imagine what would happen to her if she lost all her luck. She screamed, “It hurts!”

It felt like her body was being ripped apart, as if someone was tearing her soul into pieces. Gardner stared at her, his expression darkening further. “Damn it!” This was the backlash of the broken curse. There was no way to stop it. He thought, Phoebe is already this powerful! If it had been him, he could have broken this curse too. But it would have cost him most of his positive energy and taken him a very long time. If someone had interfered, there was a high chance of failure. Even if Gardiner succeeded, he would have needed a long time to maintain the spell while completing the break. But Phoebe only took a short time. Even if his master had done it, it wouldn’t have been this fast. Then suddenly, his heart sank. This curse was his master’s doing.

Chapter 9

Gardner couldn’t stop the backlash, but he had also allowed the curse to be completely broken. His master was about to suffer the consequences. At this moment, inside the estate of a higher-up in the Horoscope Association, a man who was meditating suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. His face turned pale. His expression twisted in fury. “Who dared to break my curse?” Then, the backlash struck. His originally young and handsome face began to change. His skin darkened. Wrinkles etched into his brow and the corners of his eyes. His jet-black hair started to turn white. It was like he aged several decades. His expression contorted with rage. “Damn you! I won’t let you off!”

It had taken him years to maintain his youthful appearance. But this one backlash had erased it all. This made him furious. He latched a talisman and shouted at Gardner, “Get over here!” When Gardner heard the furious voice, his face turned even paler. He did not care about Sienna, who was still rolling on the ground and had aged another 20 to 30 years due to the backlash. He clutched his chest and endured the torture of the backlash. He immediately opened the door and walked out quickly.
