Beauty and the Bodyguard

"The technique practiced by Du Wang is very special. Every time he breaks through seclusion, he will enter a state of suspended animation. You don't need to be too afraid."

Zhang Qiu said quietly behind everyone with a tone of fear that the world would be in chaos.

Lin Yi's heart moved and he asked: "What kind of skills does he practice?"

Everyone pricked up their ears. It was related to the strength of the Five Giants. It was definitely a secret among secrets. Even with their intelligence methods, it was difficult to investigate clearly. They only vaguely knew some corners.

In fact, if someone behind the scenes hadn't revealed the information to them, even they would have had a hard time knowing the Du Wang's current location and situation, and they wouldn't have deliberately planned to come here.

"This is a secret that must not be shared with outsiders, but since it is Hall Master Lin who is asking, I must give him the respect."

Zhang Qiu took advantage of the situation and said favorably: "The technique practiced by Du Wang is called the Self-Compassion Curse. Strictly speaking, it is not actually a technique, but an extremely powerful curse."

"curse?"

Everyone was stunned. Although each of them had information, in terms of accuracy, it was still far behind the Baijia Society, which relied on information for a living. At least the three words "self-sorrow curse" were in their intelligence. Just didn't show up.

"Yes, to be precise, this is a spell. For a while, it was known as the three major magic arts together with witchcraft and Gu magic. It was once all the rage. At that time, it even overshadowed the mainstream techniques!"

"However, their practice process was so unreasonable that they were eventually corrected and gradually disappeared from the practice world. Even if they occasionally appeared, they would be regarded as evil and crooked and quickly suppressed. Today, few people have heard of or understand them. It’s even rarer.”

Zhang Qiurao talked with great interest.

Everyone was naturally happy to find out more information from his mouth. You must know that buying information from Baijia Society is not cheap, especially when it comes to the Five Giants level. No matter how much spiritual jade there is, you may not be able to buy it.

However, while listening to his explanation, the energy of everyone present was still focused on the Du Wang in the coffin. They were always watching every move of the Du Wang and taking action immediately if there was any slight change. This was also the reason for everyone present. A tacit understanding that no one needs to say.

They have to be wary of each other, but if they really want the King to survive, they must join forces with all their strength.

Otherwise, no one here can survive.

Zhang Qiu continued: "The Self-Compassion Curse practiced by Du Wang is different from ordinary spells. Ordinary spells curse others, but the Self-Compassion Curse curses oneself."

"Curse is a kind of power. It is an extremely mysterious and powerful force. It can curse people to death or life. Although I don't know exactly how the curse is cast, Baijiashe, one thing is certain. Every spell is so powerful that it must pay a huge price."

"So you can understand the Self-Mourning Curse to mean that the King gave up something extremely important and gained a power that we can't even imagine!"

Lin Yi suddenly interrupted and asked: "What did the Du Wang give up?"

"have no idea."

Zhang Qiu said quietly: "No one can answer this question except Du Wang himself, but our Baijia Society combined the intelligence from all parties and we have a guess about this. Perhaps what Du Wang abandoned was his seven emotions and six desires as a human being."

Lin Yi was fine, but the other people all looked surprised when they heard this.

Xing Zhang, the head of the executive committee, held the coffin and said: "No wonder I couldn't feel any human touch in Du Wang before. He was as cold as a walking corpse, almost like this rag picker."

What he was pointing at was none other than the scavenger Liu Yun.

Lin Yi nodded secretly. Liu Yun's body was exuding a strong aura of death, not like a living person at all, even he couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.

But his intuition told Lin Yi that as long as he could understand the mystery, it would not be difficult to replicate this feeling with his perfect foundation in the Five Elements field.

After all, Lin Yi has mastered the Five Elements Transformation Ultimate, which can be regarded as the ultimate form of self-healing power. It represents life, and the power in this person represents death.

Life and death are two sides of the same coin, and it is entirely possible for them to transform into each other.

Lin Yi then asked: "Then what's going on with him now?"

Zhang Qiu said with a smile: "Any spell has flaws, and the same goes for the Self-Sorrow Curse. Especially when it breaks through, it will suffer strong backlash. Therefore, every time it breaks through, the Duwang must use this method of escaping into suspended animation to resolve the backlash. He will not be able to wake up until the backlash of the curse is resolved, and his strength will be infinitely weakened."

"In terms of personal combat power, Duwang ranks among the top even among the five giants. Looking at the repeaters, there are very few people who can compete with him head-on. According to our calculations, he should have reached the ultimate stage of the giants. The last step, if this breakthrough is successful, no one in the Repeater School will be his opponent!"

"So, now is the only chance."

Hearing this, Lin Yi already had an outline in his mind, but the most important point was still inexplicable: "Even if now is the best time to kill the Duwang, why...why do you want to kill him?"

This may sound a bit redundant at first.

The repeater college is leaderless and they are fighting all year round, fighting for territory, resources and even people, no matter which one is the leader.

But these reasons are not sufficient only for Du Wang.

It is true that as one of the five giants, he is in charge of a huge territory in the East District, and the resources accumulated in the Duwang Palace are enough to make any force jealous, but no one will attack the Duwang for these resources.

Because although the benefits are large, they are still disproportionate to the risks.

Everyone present knew that even the weakest King, even the King in suspended animation, was still extremely dangerous to them, and any mishap would lead to death.

Li Yushu and others were silent, but Zhang Qiu acted like a good person who will fight to the end, and explained to Lin Yi: "The reason why everyone comes here is actually because they are interested in the strength of the Du Wang!"

Lin Yi raised his eyebrows: "How do you say that?"

"The Self-Mourning Curse has a characteristic. Once the power is formed, it will not dissipate easily. If the Du Wang dies, his strength will become ownerless and he will spontaneously look for the next owner."

Zhang Qiurao glanced at everyone meaningfully: "If anyone can succeed, then I have to congratulate you on the birth of the new Five Giants."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Yi clearly felt that the atmosphere around him was different.

Not only is the strength of the Du Wang coveted, but more importantly, the four people present are all peak masters in the late stage of the Giant Dzogchen. As long as they are snatched in their hands, even if they cannot completely copy the strength of the Du Wang, they can easily break through the realm and step onto the stage. Enter the ultimate realm of perfection among giants!

This temptation is enough to overwhelm everything.
