Supreme Swordsman

Chapter 1369 Touching the Darkness

Time passed slowly.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

During the past half a month, Bai Le never went out at all, shutting himself in the room completely, and even the people who delivered meals every day would be violently kicked out by him.

Through the servants in the house, the news easily reached the ears of the high priest.

There was no need to guess, the high priest knew very well that Bai Le was definitely trying to dispel the power of the curse.

In fact, that's what she was looking forward to.

Bai Le's cultivation technique is extremely special, and it can actually restrain the erosion of the power of the curse. This gave her hope, but it was just a little bit worse!
She needed to make sure that Bai Le could really maintain his state and would not be eroded by the power of the curse.

As long as Bai Le can maintain this state for a long time, then once she compels her to learn this technique, she will definitely be able to restrain her own aging!
Maybe it's impossible to break the curse and let their family escape, but at least there is hope for her to escape and ascend to heaven!

Take ten thousand steps back, even if she still can't escape, as long as she can stop aging and live forever like a normal god, that's enough!

"Brother Bai!"

Standing outside Bai Le's room, Li Lin spoke softly.

"Is it brother Li?"

Bai Le's voice sounded from the room, revealing a bit of fatigue, "Sorry, I'm not in a good state these days, I'll go and apologize to Brother Li some other day."

"Brother Bai, why are you so reserved! The visitor is a guest, if there is something you don't like, you might as well speak up, and we can find a solution together."

While speaking, Li Lin was not polite at all, and stretched out his hand to push open the door.

Raising his head, Bai Le's expression turned ugly.

Startled slightly, seeing Bai Le's appearance clearly, Li Lin's heart skipped a beat: "Brother Bai, what's wrong?"

Completely different from half a month ago, Bai Le now has gills on his face.

Although the legs are still normal, but the breath also seems to be a lot more disordered.

After all, is it still unable to resist the erosion of the power of the curse?
Li Lin couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart.

The high priest had already shown his murderous intentions before, and as long as he was sure that Bai Le's exercises were effective, he would attack Bai Le.

But now it seems that the effect of the opponent's skills is really limited.

Of course, no matter what he thinks in his heart, Li Lin will not express these thoughts.

"Brother Bai, don't worry. The power of the curse is too strong. It's very rare for you to be able to survive for such a long time... This will also save you from working so hard. Slowly, you will get used to it."

These words were obviously comforting, but when they heard Bai Le's ears, they obviously made Bai Le even more annoyed.

With a bit of embarrassment on his face, Bai Le said in a deep voice, "I've found some ideas... I'll definitely be able to dissolve this damned power of the curse in a short time."

"Of course, Brother Bai is the person guided by Kun. Both I and the high priest naturally believe in Brother Bai."

Nodding his head, Li Lin continued: "I heard that Brother Bai hasn't eaten anything these days! Since I'm here today, let me treat Brother Bai to a good meal! I remember Brother Bai said that he likes good wine, and I I specially asked for some from the high priest, and let’s get drunk today.”

The hospitality was hard to turn down, so Bai Le had no choice but to follow Li Lin out of the room.

The wine was indeed good, neither of them tried to dissipate the alcohol, and not long after, Bai Le fell into a deep sleep.

In his sleep, Bai Le could no longer maintain the operation of his exercises, and his legs also changed slowly, turning into fish tails in his sleep!
From now on, Bai Le is no different from the people here.

With a look of coldness in his eyes, Li Lin pushed the door open and walked out immediately.

"Sure enough, he still overestimated him."

After receiving Li Lin's reply, the high priest also showed a bit of disappointment on his face.

The news she got from Li Lin was enough for her to guess the truth.

Bai Le's cultivation technique is indeed somewhat special, it can temporarily resist the power of the curse, but it needs to be continuously operated to exert its effect.

But people are not machines after all, they will get tired and tired!
Therefore, when Bai Le was unable to maintain the continuous operation of the exercises for a long time, he would also be eroded by the power of the curse.

In this way, the temptation of such exercises to her will naturally be greatly reduced.

"Continue to stare at him, don't make any moves for now... Didn't he say that there is a way to dissolve the power of the curse? Give him a chance!"

"Yes!"

While Li Lin was going to report to the high priest, Bai Le had already been sent back to his room.

When the servants left, Bai Le woke up immediately, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

How powerful is the Dao Body of Tongtian, even if Bai Le doesn't use any strength to dissolve it, it is absolutely impossible for Bai Le to become drunk.

In fact, it's more than that!
After so many years of continuous practice, he is already very familiar with the Tongtian Demon Art, and he doesn't need to spend any thought, the Tongtian Demon Art can also work naturally!

Although it was impossible to completely stop the erosion of the power of the curse, it was simply non-existent that Bai Le could not sustain it.

With a slight thought movement, the legs that had turned into fish tails and the cheeks with gills immediately recovered.

"Thousands of machines!"

In between breaths, Bai Le directly enveloped himself with illusion, turning himself into a murloc, but this was still not over.

In a moment, Bai Le returned to his normal state again.

However, this is not a real display, but the result of changing again with illusion!

That feeling is like wearing double clothes!
Today's Bai Le gives people the impression that some powerful masters here deliberately use illusion to look like a normal person.

Early the next morning, Bai Le went out with this appearance.

On the one hand, he is familiar with this underwater city, on the other hand, he is constantly looking for abnormalities, trying to find the source of the power of the curse.

Here, there are no secrets that can be kept from the high priest.

Soon, news from Bai Le reached the high priest again.

Only this time the high priest didn't respond.

Time passed so silently.

In the blink of an eye, Bai Le has been here for half a year.

During this period, Bai Le has also thoroughly familiarized himself with the city.

Moreover, besides Li Lin, he also became acquainted with many people.

However, after getting acquainted with it, Bai Le really saw the dark side of this city.

Under the superficial prosperity, there are countless dirty and bloody realities hidden.

This is a city that belongs to high-level practitioners!

Those ordinary people, even low-level practitioners, don't have any human rights at all!
They are just the playthings of those high-level practitioners!

From birth to death, they lived a miserable and hopeless life.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the people here do not detect amazing talents when they are born, they have already decided to have a tragic life.

Here, it was completely different from what Bai Le understood when he first arrived.

"So... it's time to touch the dark side of this place!"
