Chapter 915: Breaking and Reestablishing

The Winter Goddess and Yunxiao gave Xu Yang a deep look before successively entering the tent to rest.

Meanwhile, Xu Yang sat cross-legged at the center of his Angelic Domain, closing his eyes in concentration. His mental energy split into three illusionary bodies, which constantly patrolled around the tent.

However, at one particular moment, Xu Yang suddenly sensed a familiar aura appear near his domain. He sharply opened his eyes and saw that the newcomer was none other than the Extreme Yang Ancestor Witch's soul.

"If you've come to show off your arrogance to me," Xu Yang said, "then I advise you not to speak. Otherwise, you will bear my wrath, and you surely know what that means."

Although the other party was merely a soul projection, it was still intimidated by Xu Yang's unspoken, domineering aura.

The Extreme Yang Ancestor Witch gave a solemn smile.

"You've misunderstood," he said. "I'm not here to mock you, but as the Great Priest's envoy, to warn you that throughout this fixed space, a cursed aura is integrated into the air."

"In other words, even if you stand still, merely by breathing the surrounding air, the essence of these curses can silently merge into your bodies, waiting for a suitable opportunity to infect you."

"Of course, a being of your immense power naturally wouldn't fear the invasion of this aura. But the two girls who have fallen into a deep sleep in the tent might not be so lucky."

The smile on the Extreme Yang Ancestor Witch's face was smug, but Xu Yang knew very well that now was not the time to conquer him. The key to solving the problem was finding the exit of this fixed space.

Xu Yang sneered, "Stop playing games here, and get lost!"

With a gentle wave of his hand, an incredibly powerful aura erupted, and the Extreme Yang Ancestor Witch's ethereal soul instantly dissipated.

At the very next moment, Xu Yang, without hesitation, rushed into the tent, only to see the Winter Goddess about to press her hands on Yunxiao's neck.

"What are you doing? Stop immediately!"

Xu Yang instinctively summoned his Jade Bone Divine Sword and forcefully pressed the flat side of the blade against the Winter Goddess's body, blasting her out of the tent.

The commotion also startled Yunxiao, who immediately woke up and looked around in confusion.

"Boss, what just happened?"

Xu Yang sighed helplessly. "This girl must have been corrupted by the curse's power too. The essence of the curse that infected her is actually integrated into the air of this fixed space, making it impossible for us to guard against it."

"Only when you let your guard down completely can this curse take advantage!"

"This girl's mental state isn't very resilient. She was likely infected by this curse in her dreams, which made her lose her mind and treat you as her enemy!"

After Xu Yang finished explaining to Yunxiao, the Winter Goddess, who had just been knocked away by the flat side of the blade, had already recovered her mobility. This time, she surprisingly locked her target onto Xu Yang.

However, the strange emotions she displayed towards Xu Yang were completely opposite to when she attacked Yunxiao.

Her eyes were filled with infatuation, and she recklessly lunged towards Xu Yang.

"Boss, you're too amazing!" she exclaimed. "What should I do? I think I'm infatuated with you! I can't control myself; let me feel your warmth!"

Xu Yang sighed helplessly. He truly hadn't expected things to escalate to this point, nor that the strange curse could operate in such a way.

This was almost a vicious cycle. Even if Xu Yang already knew the effects of this infatuation curse, if he didn't let these two girls sleep, then over time they would deplete their mental energy and become fatigued, eventually being infected by other types of curses due to their physical exhaustion.

Xu Yang had no other choice. He immediately activated the iron box on his person, and in the instant that time and space froze, he flew in front of the Winter Goddess and pressed a finger on her forehead.

An incredibly cool purifying power restored the Winter Goddess to a brief state of clarity.

But soon, her eyes slowly became hazy again.

Xu Yang, without hesitation, once again unleashed powerful defensive measures and sealed the girl within himself.

"Boss, if this continues, I'm afraid it won't be long until I become the fourth cursed target," Yunxiao said. "By then, the energy you'll have to expend will likely be even greater!"

"And in our team, only you can ignore the power of these curses."

Hearing this, Xu Yang already understood what the considerate Yunxiao meant.

"You want me to seal you beforehand," Xu Yang said, "to narrow our team's objective to just myself, so that the curse's power will lose its effectiveness."

Yunxiao nodded solemnly. "That's right," she said. "This way, you'll be rid of me, a burden, and save more time. Two people acting together takes far more time than one person acting alone. As long as you can break free from here, the rest of us will also be out of danger."

Xu Yang had to admit that Yunxiao's strategic foresight and her understanding nature made her charm irresistible to any man.

To be able to recognize her position at such a critical moment and find the most beneficial solution for the team was a capability not just any woman possessed.

Xu Yang thought seriously for a moment and agreed that Yunxiao's method made a lot of sense. Without further hesitation, he immediately acted and sealed the girl within himself.

This way, Xu Yang had no teammates holding him back, and he could unleash his full power.

"Hmph," a new voice echoed. "I really didn't expect this woman to have such a brilliant and clear mind, saving you a lot of trouble."

Another soul projection of the Extreme Yang Ancestor Witch directly entered the tent.

As he had said, the power of the curse could be mixed into the air, so the Extreme Yang Ancestor Witch's own soul could do the same.

"Your Excellency Xu Yang," he continued, "now only you remain as the target! I will exert my full power to hurl all other curses wildly at your body! I refuse to believe that for the next two days, you will still be immune to all the curses."

Xu Yang sharply turned around and gazed at the elusive soul form of the Extreme Yang Ancestor Witch before him.

Soon, he seemed to have gained a very important clue.

"I'm thinking," Xu Yang said, "ever since we entered this fixed space, all the rules have been in your hands. If I try to break the limits of these rules, perhaps the situation I face will change completely."
