CHAPTER 1760: CHAPTER 504: LEGENDS (5)

Shi Hui needs to continuously suppress the blood curse’s erosion while avoiding Xiangliu’s attempt to perish together with her.

Due to losing eight and a half heads, the Sea Demon King becomes unprecedentedly weak—it cannot chase or hit the distant Witch, the remaining eyeball cannot enhance the blood curse’s power, nor can it meet the conditions for spell backlash.

This sense of powerlessness is driving the Sea Demon King crazy, yet it becomes even more calm.

"How did you do it?"

The Sea Demon King’s voice remains hoarse, but it lacks the initial madness, becoming calm and sinister: "Being able to stop at the right moment in the final instance... even top legends cannot do it."

While asking, it hasn’t given up pursuing the distant Five-Colored Lotus, a gigantic fireball streaks through the dark universe, ripples stirring on both sides of the void.

Laughter from the Witch comes from within the lotus.

The Sea Demon King seems to see her gleeful appearance.

"Just like now, you can’t catch up with me."

Sitting calmly within the lotus, Shi Hui displays immense patience and explains, "This small universe is the battlefield I chose, this is the Wizard’s home ground... the home ground naturally has a home ground advantage... If I wish, this chase can last till the end of time."

"As for that spell before, I didn’t hold back. The spell’s power hasn’t disappeared. It’s just sent away. As for where it went... I guess it should be in the deeps of Starry Sky. After all, it was chasing after the starlight."

"I’ve answered your question... Now it’s my turn to ask."

In the void, the Five-Colored Lotus gently sways, seemingly waving at the massive star pursuing it from behind, the Witch sincerely asks, "Since you can’t kill me, nor can you let me kill you... then can you tell me what you intend to do this time? Perhaps I can help you."

The ’help’ the Witch speaks of naturally isn’t true assistance to the Sea Demon King.

She just sees that big snake struggling to ’die’ and feels a slight reluctance. If it doesn’t have a major impact, she truly wouldn’t mind giving a hand.

After all, she’s competing with Vice Principal Ruoyu for the position of the First University’s principal. If she can kill a Legendary Demon during this Black Prison battle, then the next principal will definitely be her.

Just thinking about it is tempting.

The surface of the distant star flickers, like pupils gently flashing.

The Sea Demon King seriously considers the Witch’s proposal.

Indeed, the initial plans not only failed but weakened it to the extreme. If today it leaves Black Prison in this extremely weakened state, I’m afraid it won’t even reach the Mariana Trench before being turned against by those four ambitious subordinates, becoming their resource for advancement.

Looking around, the future is pitch black, like this annihilated small universe, without a glimmer of hope.

Perhaps revealing things to the Witch holds a slight chance of success.

As it hesitates, it suddenly feels something and abruptly stops, the star retracts its glow entirely, turning into a gigantic eyeball, exposing a blood-colored pupil and a slender, black iris.

The iris slightly shifts, seemingly gazing through the endless void into another world.

In the Five-Colored Lotus, Shi Hui, fully resisting the blood curse, immediately notices the distant disturbance, hesitates slightly, calculates with her fingers, and suddenly feels a sense of foreboding.

Due to suppressing the blood curse while needing to evade Xiangliu’s pursuit, her control over the entire small universe is at its lowest, allowing the Forbidden Spell Aura erupting on the Black Prison battlefield outside to come through the gateway resembling a black hole.

This gave the Sea Demon King a new option.

The distant giant eyeball blinked at her.

In the void, the Sea Demon King expressed a cold and hoarse thought: "If it weren’t for the kids outside making such a fuss, perhaps I really would need your help."

"Since the host isn’t convenient now, as a guest, I shouldn’t keep disturbing... I hope you still have today’s kind intentions when we meet next time."

Before the words finished, the massive eyeball already contracted, shrunk to the size of a gourd, sparkling with starlight, emitting radiant light, rushed upwards rapidly, like a slender lightning bolt, creating a black hole with rippling waves in the void, the eyeball plunged into the black hole and vanished.

Shi Hui shouted urgently, the Five-Colored Lotus beneath her spun, sweeping up countless streams of red, blue, yellow, white, and black light, like a dancer’s water sleeves, scattering in every direction, trying to block the Sea Demon King’s exit from this world.

But ultimately, she was a moment too late.

The Five-Colored Light sealed that point of the black hole but didn’t block the eyeball, only wrapping a section of the Sea Demon King’s tail. The Witch steered the Five-Colored Lotus to float down before the black hole, looking at the portion of bone-white tail with remnants of flesh still twisting on its own, expressionless, raised her hand and gave it a slap.

Xiangliu’s remaining body instantly disappeared in a puff of smoke.

The Witch didn’t pause, the Five-Colored Lotus swirled, enveloped her, transformed into a stream of light, and once again broke through that point of the black hole, following the Sea Demon King’s trail chasing after.

Behind, star sparks are traces of the Five-Colored Light dissipating in the void.

The aftermath ripples subsided, string lines restored, the void smoothed out the traces left by the battle between the Big Wizards, this already ruined small universe fell back into darkness and silence, only the noise of different string lines trembling, still silently narrating the previous intense yet unnoticed battle.

...

...

When Shi Hui was fighting Xiangliu.

Inner castle tower head.

A silver creature with a wolf’s head and snake’s body is coiled into a tower shape, resting comfortably in an unattended corner, asleep. Within the snake’s body, there are no organs, only a winding river, with no visible ends. No fish in the water, no greens on the banks, only rugged stones, layered peaks, no cracks.

This is also a small world.

Vice Principal Ruoyu and Dark Council Chairman Six Fingers, the two Big Wizards’ battleground lies within this small world.

Compared to Shi Hui’s unexpected battle.

Vice Principal Ruoyu’s encounter fits perfectly with the Divination Group’s expectations.

The President of the Dark Council didn’t go crazy like the Sea Demon King, nor did he intend to fight to the death with the seasoned vice principal of the First University for the council’s future.

So after some simple communication, they decided to determine superiority through a match.

If Six Fingers wins, he can safely leave with his people; if Ruoyu wins, though Six Fingers can still leave with the Dark Council members, the Forbidden Curse they’ve been studying must remain at the school, and they need to sign a new contract.

The terms were quite lenient, naturally acceptable to the Dark Council Chairman.

In the river, in a boat.

On the deck at the bow, two Elder Wizards sit opposite each other, cloaked, with a chessboard, two boxes of chess pieces, and a pot of steaming strong tea between them.

Only hear the rippling waves outside the boat, water splashing softly, look at the black and white intersecting on the chessboard, the pieces falling silently.
