Sailing at Sea: The Breath of the Day at the Start

The girl said.

"If it were truly the work of a curse, they wouldn't have made such obvious moves. And although they all had a faint aura of a curse on them, if the curse had really killed them, the aura on their bodies should have been very strong."

These auras only indicate that the curse was present here, but they don't necessarily mean that they were responsible.

Ron said.

"Since the curse came here, why didn't it report to you?"

The girl shook her head.

"So far, I don't know what's going on, but I can gather all those curses together and hear their opinions."

At this point, the girl immediately sent out a signal, and moments later the area was filled with curses.

The girl pointed to the corpses scattered on the ground and spoke to the curses.

Has anyone been here before and knows anything about this place?

One of the curses emerged from the crowd, and he spoke.

“I’ve been here before, but I didn’t see any bodies when I arrived. I just stayed here for a while and then left.”

Chapter 34, The Encounter

But just then, the person suddenly disappeared. Ron looked around but couldn't find any trace of him.

"How is this going?"

The girl approached Ron, and as she looked around, her expression became very serious.

"It seems they've escaped again. This guy is incredibly strong, and the phoenix power he just unleashed happens to be able to counter us. I just don't know why he wanted to attack us?"

Ron frowned. He considered many possibilities, but none of them made sense. He and the other party were complete strangers, so why would the other party suddenly target them?

After waiting here for a while, the other party still did not reappear, and the flames began to slowly die down, Ron said.

"Let's get out of here right away."

The girl frowned deeply.

"But what about him? Are we just going to let him interfere with us so secretly?"

Ron shook his head.

"But we have no other choice now but to put this matter aside for the time being and wait until we find their weakness before we take action against them."

The girl shook her head slightly.

"That's impossible. We don't even know his identity or his situation. When will we ever learn about his weaknesses?"

The girl quickly gathered the remaining curses. The fire had already burned some of them to death. When she saw the only remaining curses, her face turned extremely ugly. These curses were like her children. How could she bear to see her children burned alive by the other side?

The girl suddenly turned around and said to Ron.

"I will not leave here. Whoever did this, I will personally find him and give him a good fight."

Ron said.

"But with our current strength, we simply can't stop him. The exchange just now is enough to prove that."

Ron could sense that the other party's presence hadn't disappeared, which proved that the other party hadn't gone far. He was likely still hiding in the shadows, watching them closely. Therefore, Ron believed that retreating to advance was the best way to attack. Simply staying here wouldn't be effective.

The girl looked at Ron, composed herself, and then spoke.

"Maybe I should listen to you. What should we do next?"

Ron said.

"Trust me, let's get out of here first."

After saying that, he turned and walked forward, with the girl following closely behind Ron. But at this moment, Ron had already released his consciousness and was constantly tracking her movements.

He could indeed sense a faint energy standing in front of him, and he could feel that this energy seemed to contain a strange aura. When he fought that person before, Ron could sense this aura on the other party, so the other party must indeed be hiding in the shadows.

Ron whispered to the girl.

"Don't make a sound. Although we are retreating, we can still sense the other side's presence. He hasn't completely left us; he's still nearby, monitoring us."

The girl looked at Ron with some surprise. She could also sense the faint energy emanating from the surroundings, but she didn't think it was left by him. After hearing what Ron said, she could indeed feel that the energy was very familiar.

"But if he were around, he might have already figured out our intentions by now."

Ron shook his head.

"Just come with me, you don't need to ask any other questions."

They had walked quite a distance before Ron stopped when he could no longer sense the other's presence. He didn't want the other to lose him, but he could always feel that presence. Perhaps the other had deliberately left it behind. As someone who had just appeared, the other must have already learned about Ron and the girl's abilities, so he must have his reasons for doing so.

The girl was even more surprised to see Ron stop, and she said.

Why stop?

Ron said.

"Check if the other party has caught up."

However, at that moment, Ron suddenly smelled a strong stench of blood, which was coming from ahead. Ron's expression immediately turned serious, and he quickly walked forward.

The girl also smelled the blood, and her expression changed slightly. Following behind Ron, she said...

"Has that guy started making moves again?"

Ron shook his head and said.

“But I can sense that aura hasn’t left. And in such a short time, it’s impossible for him to kill so many people silently without us noticing. Even if there is a certain gap in strength between us, it’s not an insurmountable gap.”

Sure enough, they saw a deep pit not far away filled with corpses. These corpses were covered in bloodstains, but their wounds were completely different from those of the corpses they had seen before.

When Ron saw the corpses, his heart sank to the bottom. He immediately knew something was wrong. However, at that moment, the surrounding air suddenly became viscous, and he could vaguely feel a violent aura rushing towards them.

Ron turned around alertly, only to see the man standing not far away, smiling at him.

"We never expected you to finally come here. This is a big gift we prepared for you."

Ron roared in fury.

"Damn it, why did you do this?"

The man had a smile on his face.

"Of course, it's to make you feel despair and fear."

Ron forced himself to calm down and asked again.

"We've never met before, and we have no grudges against each other, so why are you doing this?"

The man reached out his hand.

“There is really no grudge between us. It’s just that you discovered those corpses. In fact, this matter has nothing to do with you.”

At this point, he suddenly stretched out his hand, and a mysterious rune appeared on his palm.

"That's the answer."

The rune shimmered with a faint light, and there was a faint aura within it that seemed to be trying to break free.

When Ron sensed this aura, his expression changed slightly. He could feel that this aura was indeed interfering with his nerves and even affecting his state of mind.

"The Ten Thousand Souls Technique gathers ten thousand souls together and then completely absorbs them to enhance my own strength. When these souls enter my body, they become part of my body. Then, I only need to completely absorb their souls to master this technique."

As the mysterious runes began to shimmer, the man's aura suddenly changed.

Chapter 35, Rebirth

"With the Phoenix Rebirth and the Myriad Souls Technique, I will be able to stand above all others. No one will be my match. If you weren't so fond of meddling in other people's business, perhaps we wouldn't have crossed paths like this. But now it seems impossible to keep you here."

The man slowly opened his palm, and the mysterious runes began to glow. With a hum, the runes suddenly grew larger, and then Ron felt the bloody smell in the air getting stronger and stronger. The whole world seemed to be tainted by the bloody smell, and Ron felt as if he was being soaked in blood.

He desperately wanted to leave, but he could feel as if he were firmly locked in by some kind of shackles, and no matter how hard he struggled, he could not escape this sea of ​​blood.

"This must be a hallucination."

Ron warned himself deep down.

"Don't let this illusion affect you, I have to break out."

Just then, he heard the girl's moans. Ron turned around and saw the girl being grabbed by countless arms made of blood. Ron rushed forward to try to rescue her, but the girl was looking at him.

"Never mind me, kill him first. Only by killing him will these sights disappear."

But at that moment, those arms began to pull at the girl frantically. Although the girl possessed immense power and could control curses, she was unable to summon curses in this situation; her energy had been severed by the other party.

Ron initially intended to deal with the man first, but when he saw the girl's current state, he realized that if he didn't rescue her now, she might be torn to pieces by those arms. So Ron didn't care anymore and rushed over, concentrating all the energy into his own arms.

With a deafening roar, Ron unleashed energy that shattered the arms. The girl was able to catch her breath, but she was quickly grabbed by those arms again.

"No, this can't go on."

The girl kept shaking her head. She knew that these arms were inexhaustible, and the opponent could use such energy at will, but Ron's energy was limited. If he kept wasting his energy here, then Ron would have no hope of victory at all.

"You have to give up. I can't go on like this. Only if you solve this problem will we have a chance to survive."

The girl looked at Ron and said.
