Chapter 1218: Chapter 1217: The Bone Spirit Blood Curse of the Black Sorcerer’s Curse Lin Dong had planted another Asura Needle into the body of Red Rat. Then he said to him, "I know what you’re thinking, but you’d better stay honest." "Otherwise, with just a thought from me, the Asura Needle can take your life." The face of Red Rat turned deathly pale as he hurriedly said: "I dare not harbor any other thoughts." At the moment, Lin Dong turned his attention to An Zhongshan and then asked Red Rat: "Red Rat, War God An still can’t use his Inner Qi. You must surely know the reason, right?" Red Rat’s face slightly changed as he quickly shook his head and said, "How would I know such a thing?" "Hmph," Lin Dong coldly laughed upon seeing this. "You think if you don’t tell me, I won’t know?" "He has been poisoned with a Black Witchcraft called ’Bone Spirit Blood Curse’." Upon hearing this, Red Rat blurted out without thinking, "You... how do you know about the ’Bone Spirit Blood Curse’?" "Not only do I know about it, but I also know where the Bone Spirit Blood Curse has been placed." "This Bone Spirit Blood Curse requires the cursed bone to be buried within a hundred-meter radius of the cursed person for seven days before the person can be cursed." "This curse is specially designed for Earth Realm martial artists. Once afflicted with this curse, even Earth Realm martial artists will not be able to use their Inner Qi." "War God An’s sickness this time, although seemingly stemmed from the injuries sustained in the great battle with the Master of Black Sorcerer Palace, is actually not the main issue." "The biggest problem is that he has been struck with this Bone Spirit Blood Curse..." The more Lin Dong spoke, the more shocked Red Rat’s gaze towards Lin Dong became. Lin Dong, however, ignored the shock in his eyes, and turned to look at An Zhongshan, then pointed to the garden outside their house and said: "There’s something buried over there in the garden. Dig it up, and then I will cast a spell to break the Bone Spirit Blood Curse." Upon hearing this, An Zhongshan and others quickly followed Lin Dong out of the room and into the garden outside. Lin Dong ordered Red Rat to start digging. Red Rat, with a sour face, had no choice but to do as instructed and, sure enough, quickly unearthed a pile of black bones. The surface of these black bones seemed stained with fresh blood. Seeing this, An Zhongshan and the others had extremely ugly looks on their faces. "So my home has been cursed with Black Witchcraft. But besides my family and a few Divine General guards, no one else could have come in here." "Who could have buried these cursing bones then?" An Zhongshan muttered to himself, knowing that there must be a traitor among his entourage. Lin Dong did not concern himself with these matters but instead said to An Zhongshan: "War God An, I will help you break this Bone Spirit Blood Curse. Once it’s broken, you can recover your strength." However, as soon as he said this, Red Rat by his side muttered, "Master Lin, although your strength is formidable, you won’t be able to break the Bone Spirit Blood Curse." "Only our Master of the Black Sorcerer Palace can cast this curse! Even the leader of the Twelve Zodiacs, ’Dragon Hall Master,’ can’t lift it." "Moreover, I might as well tell you something. If the Bone Spirit Blood Curse is rashly dispelled, but if the dispeller fails to do so, he will suffer the backlash of the Bone Spirit Blood Curse." "Even if the one trying to dispel the curse is an Earth Realm martial artist, haha, it will cause a great decline in your strength..." Hearing this, An Zhongshan also hesitated, wondering whether to let Lin Dong dispel this sinister ’Bone Spirit Blood Curse.’ He feared dragging Lin Dong down with him. However, Lin Dong ignored Red Rat and began to dispel the ’Bone Spirit Blood Curse’ for An Zhongshan. Having inherited the Legacy of the Sovereign Witch, Lin Dong had mastered almost all of the Dragon Country’s ancient witchcraft, which included records about the ’Bone Spirit Blood Curse’ and methods to dispel it. For Lin Dong, breaking this curse was a piece of cake. Lin Dong cast sixty-four ancient witch’s curses in succession, sending them into An Zhongshan’s body. After a short while, the bloodstained black bones that were placed on the ground exploded with a loud bang. All the bloodstained black bones that had been cursed shattered to pieces. At that moment, An Zhongshan also spat out a mouthful of black blood. Seeing this scene, Red Rat was utterly shocked. "You... you actually broke the curse, heavens, what kind of monster are you!" At this moment, Red Rat looked at Lin Dong as if a small imp had seen Raijin; the fear and reverence he felt had reached its limit. He might have had some ulterior motives before, but now, facing Lin Dong, he truly did not dare to have any more ill intentions. To him, respecting Lin Dong was like respecting the gods! At this point, An Zhongshan, after spitting out that mouthful of fresh blood, started to circulate his Inner Qi. To his surprise and joy, he found out that his Inner Qi had finally completely recovered. "Boom!!!" He condensed his Inner Qi and threw a punch. This punch unleashed a Fist Wind that directly shattered one of the rockeries in the garden. "Hahaha..." With his strength restored, An Zhongshan laughed hysterically. Who could comprehend the feeling of plummeting to the depths and then clawing back to the cloud from hell? "Master Lin, I will never forget this life-saving grace and the favor of rebirth! If there’s ever a need for War God An’s assistance, I, An Zhongshan, will go through fire and water for you!" An Zhongshan repeatedly refreshed his understanding of Lin Dong. His address shifted from the initially dismissive ’Dragon Country Kid’ to the equal footing of ’Mister Lin,’ and finally, to the current respect-laden ’Master Lin.’ Lin Dong gave a slight nod and said, "War God An, there’s no need to go through fire and water. However, I indeed have two matters for which I need War God An’s help." An Zhongshan immediately said, "Just say the word, Master Lin. As long as it does not involve treason, I agree." "Haha, War God An, you speak too seriously. I would never ask you to commit treason..." Lin Dong laughingly said, waving his hand, then continued: "This first matter, I’d like you to vouch for Doctor Jin Yuan. Help Doctor Jin Yuan regain his reputation." "That’s certainly not a problem," An Zhongshan instantly agreed without a second thought. Lin Dong continued: "The second matter is that I’d like to invite War God An to join forces with me in exterminating the Black Sorcerer Palace!"
