This Curse Is Just Awesome

Chapter 32 - This Class Of Enemies Is Truly Awesome

"Dong!"

"Dong!"

"Dong-dong…"

[Hurt inflicted: Qi and blood +771]

[Hurt inflicted: Qi and blood +637]

[Hurt inflicted: Qi and blood +890...]

By the time the other three people arrived, Chen Yu and his opponent had already finished more than ten rounds of battle.

He had accumulated quite a fair bit of "actual combat" experience.

"Surround him!" Zhang Qing rubbed his sore shoulders, and with a solemn expression, he said, "This is a tough nut to handle. He's too resistant to all the blows dealt him… Something doesn't feel right. All of you have to be a little more careful."

"Yes!" X3

The three men quickly separated from one another. Then, each taking a side, they kept Chen Yu surrounded in the middle.

"..."

Stopping in his tracks, Chen Yu swallowed a mouthful of blood that was welling up his throat. Then, he held his Tang Knife horizontally in front of him and said, "Who the hell are you guys? What do you want from me?"

The fact that he was neck and neck with a middle-high student after so many rounds of battle was suffocating for Zhang Qing. A murderous glint flashed in his eyes, and in an icy-cold tone, he said, "Taking you to a place. The folks up there want to talk to you."

In fact, their topmost priority was following Chen Yu to see where he was going and what secrets he had.

But since they had already alerted the enemy, the only other option they had was to go hard on him.

They would capture Chen Yu first…

"I'd advise you to come with us compliantly."

Chen Yu asked, "What if I don't want to go with you?"

Zhang Qing replied, "Our team is all present now. If you don't go with us, then we'll give you a taste of what it's like to suffer in our hands."

Chen Yu said, "And what if I refuse to taste it?"

Zhang Qing replied, "It's not up to you."

Chen Yu said, "What if I don't want…."

"Bullshit!" Zhang Qing flew into a rage and ordered, "Do it!"

"Yes!" x3

The other three subordinates responded to his order and wasted no time in joining hands.

With that, they activated their internal vigor, and then, three streams of red light started radiating from their three bodies.

"Martial Law… Heavy!"

"Martial Law… Weaken!"

"Martial Law… Mystify!"

Three rays of red light rose and intermingled in the air. They turned into a bizarre ball of vigor that moved over to envelop Chen Yu.

Chen Yu was stunned and said, "This… this is…."

[Subjected to the attenuation of the Curse: Temporary agility +18%; Temporary power +11%; Temporary reactivity +8%; Temporary explosive power +10%...]

[Subjected to the attenuation of the Curse: Temporary physique +8%; Temporary metabolism +17%; Temporary charisma +16%; Temporary cellular activity +15%...]

[Subjected to the attenuation of the Curse: Temporary Mental state +12%; Temporary memory +17%; Temporary mental stability +20%...]

Chen Yu commented, "… what a good guy."

"Hur…" Zhang Qing stepped forward, the corners of his mouth lifting to reveal a smile. "Feeling the weakness now? Are you still able to move?"

Chen Yu said, "… I feel much better."

"We'll see how much longer you can keep up with this stubbornness." Zhang Qing waved his hand and said, "Continue!"

"Yes!" x3

"Martial Law… Heavy!"

"Martial Law… Weaken!"

"Martial Law… Mystify!"

[Subjected to the attenuation of the Curse: Temporary agility +20%; Temporary power +14%...]

[Subjected to the attenuation of the Curse: Temporary physique +13%; Temporary metabolism +22%...]

[Subjected to the attenuation of the Curse: Temporary Mental state +18%; Temporary memory +25%...]

"Are you feeling extremely suffocated now? You only have yourself to blame." Zhang Qing sneered and said, "This curse will remain stable for a good whole day. During this period, you will be nothing more than a lamb waiting to be slaughtered."

Chen Yu: "…" (speechless)

"Martial Law… Heavy!"

"Martial Law… Weaken!"

"Martial Law… Mystify!"

The three others were still doing their best to continuously release their vigor.

[Subjected to the attenuation of the Curse: Temporary agility +20%...]

[Subjected to the attenuation of the Curse...]

Chen Yu: "…" (speechless)

"That will do." Seeing how Chen Yu was still standing in his original spot without moving in the slightest, Zhang Qing thought that he was no longer able to resist. So, he took a big step forward and grabbed Chen Yu by the shoulder, saying, "Ha. Aren't you quite resilient to hits? How come you're not…"

Chen Yu said, "Sneak attack!"

"Swish!"

With the boost in attributes thanks to the multi-layered "curse," Chen Yu just needed to swing his hand, and it would turn out to be one deathly blow of his knife!

His speed was so fast that Zhang Qing didn't even have the time to react.

The latter could only see a white light flashing across his eyes, then feel a cool sensation on his arm that penetrated his skin and reached his bones. Then, it continued to sweep throughout his entire body…

"Piak."

A broken arm fell to the ground with a pleasing sound.

Zhang Qing: "…" (speechless)

Chen Yu: "…" (speechless)

Zhang Qing: "… You… You… Ah, ah, ah!!"

While the other party was crying out miserably, Chen Yu, having gained the upper hand, took advantage of the situation and showed no mercy. Twisting the Tang knife in his hand, he took aim and stabbed Zhang Qing squarely in his chest.

The intense pain raised Zhang Wing's level of alertness to an extreme high. With a nimble step, he dodged the knife that was about to stab him. His rousing vigor was churning as he raised his intact left hand to launch a counterattack at full force: "I! Want you dead!"

"Huff…"

The wind from Zhang Qing's flying fist seemed to tear through the air.

The might that it brought with it was so terrifying that it made Chen Yu's hair stand on end.

"Can't receive…"

In a fraction of a second, this thought flashed in his mind, and right away, Chen Yu tilted sideways to dodge the fist.

"What?!" Zhang Qing's pupils contracted abruptly as his fiery temper suddenly ebbed. He hurriedly retreated backward to further the distance between himself and Chen Yu. Then, he exclaimed, "You… you're a Level 1 warrior!"

Only a warrior at Level 2 or above could dodge his full-force attack at such close range.

"Level 2?"

"He's a Level 2 warrior?!"

"Who's our informer, our information source?! D*mn it….."

The faces of all three subordinates changed dramatically as they hurriedly retreated.

"No wonder." Zhang Qing's face had gone pale as he said, "No wonder you were completely unscathed just now… So it turns out, you're a Level 2 warrior."

Thinking of how Chen Yu was still suffering from the several waves of "curses" at this very moment, Zhang Qing's face turned even paler.

A mistake…

There was a mistake in intelligence received.

This was a mistake that was enough to kill the whole team.

"Whack."

With a single kick, Chen Yu sent the broken arm on the ground flying a distance away. Then, he tightened his grip on the Tang knife and felt the power flowing within his body.

Dealing with those three "extras" was indeed not energy-consuming at all.

Considering they provided him, who was barely a Level 1 warrior, with such tremendous "support"...

"Comrades!" Chen Yu nodded gratefully to the other three.

"Not good! He's going to attack us with his strikes!"

"We're goners…"

"I saw him smile at me…"

"We can't just do nothing and wait to die!"

"Let's give our all and fight!"

The three cried and shouted boisterously for a while. Then, gathering whatever vigor they had left, they put another curse on Chen Yu.

"Martial Law… Heavy!"

"Martial Law… Weaken!"

"Martial Law… Mystify!"

[Subjected to the attenuation of the Curse: Temporary agility +26%; Temporary power +19%...]

[Subjected to the attenuation of the Curse...]

"… Just as I thought. There are really many kind souls in the world."

Chen Yu felt that simply smiling was no longer enough to express his gratitude, so very seriously and earnestly, he bowed and said, "Thank you so much."

Seeing this, Zhang Qing and his three subordinates all felt chills running down their spines out of fear.

Having been subjected to so many rounds of attenuation of the curse, he was still so indifferent and unaffected…

Just how horrifyingly powerful could this other party's strength be…

"Could it be…" Zhang Qing's voice was trembling as he speculated, "Could it be that you are… Level 3?!"

"Gulp…"

The crowd of four gulped at the same time.

In Green City, Level 3 warriors were considered to be the top of the military force.

"… Let's fight to our deaths." Zhang Qing was the first to calm down. He did all he could to gather all the vigor he still had within every single cell of his body and said, "This is already a battle of life and death. Empty yourselves of all the means you have collected so far and bring them out now."

He was really in disbelief.

It was supposed to be an ordinary mission of apprehending a "middle-high school student"… Who would have thought that he had actually mistaken a Level 3 warrior for a softie…

It was all so much like a freaking dream!

"This was a serious intelligence error… D*mn it." Zhang Qing's teeth were tightly clenched, and his heart was filled with wrath, as well as determination.

If he could return alive today, he would definitely tear that intelligence provider into pieces…

"Fight it out!" The other three looked at one another. Then, they each took out an elixir and shoved it into their mouths.

"Boom!"

The next instant, all they could feel was a ball of fire burning hot within their bellies.

"Martial Law—Vigor weakening!"

"Martial Law—Vigor weakening!"

"Martial Law—Vigor weakening!"

Red light shot up into the sky and illuminated the entire corridor.

[Subjected to attenuation of the Curse: Temporary vigor +24%]

[Subjected to attenuation of the Curse: Temporary vigor +21%]

[Subjected to attenuation of the Curse: Temporary vigor +25%]

Zhang Qing bellowed, "Well done!"

Chen Yu: "…" (speechless)
