Chapter 2260 - 1754: Black Sorcery Backlash!

Third update, please subscribe and vote~~~~...

African Dark Witchcraft is a very terrifying secret technique for most people, even those above Great Grandmaster Level need to be cautious in dealing with it... Generally, these experts absolutely cannot give the opponent any time to cast spells.

If other experts knew Gagarin was using African Dark Witchcraft and still allowed him enough time to cast his spells... Gagarin would probably laugh himself awake even in his dreams, as this would be akin to suicide.

The longer the casting time for the witchcraft, the greater the power, and the curse duration would be more prolonged...

Much like the situation now, if indeed cursed by Gagarin, one would definitely endure the most horrifying torment, unable to live, unable to die... Only when Gagarin finds it dull would he end their life completely.

And now, Gagarin detests Qin Fang to the extreme, and absolutely intends to do just that...

However, Gagarin has clearly overestimated his African Dark Witchcraft!

Even though he guessed Qin Fang might have something to rely on, he still remained very confident...

Whether Gagarin knew the Godslaying Worm is the nemesis of African Dark Witchcraft or not, he wouldn't care if he did... The Godslaying Worm became extinct hundreds of years ago, and no one would dare raise such a creature.

So what does Gagarin have to fear?

Unfortunately...

Things happened so coincidentally!

The more unlikely something is to happen, the more it does... Even Qin Fang himself felt like Heaven was teasing him, basically delivering a large sum of Experience Points into his hands.

"That guy must have taken quite a bit of advantage, mustn't waste it..."

Qin Fang seemed somewhat bored, watching Gagarin still casting spells, as the dark aura around him grew even more terrifying, almost forming a huge, grotesque demon-like shape, as if ready to devour everything around it.

But what truly intrigued Qin Fang was what this guy carried with him...

As the earliest commander of the Hand of the Demon to enter the underground palace, and a tremendously fierce, selfish fellow, Qin Fang would hardly believe he hadn't gained substantial benefits on the third layer... Qin Fang only coveted these treasures.

"Anyway, treasures delivered to your doorstep shouldn't be left untaken!"

Thinking of this, Qin Fang revealed a mischievous grin on his face.

Buzz~~~

Just then, a dull buzzing sound made Qin Fang's mind tense slightly, signaling that Gagarin's witchcraft casting was complete... At least the opponent thought it was enough to annihilate Qin Fang.

"Kekeke... This time, I'll make you endure endless torment, make you kneel before me and beg in agony, I want you..."

With the spell completed, Gagarin looked incredibly ghostly, those aware knew he was using African Dark Witchcraft, while those unaware might think he'd been possessed by ghosts... His extremely piercing voice added even more ghostly aura.

Towards Qin Fang, Gagarin naturally hated him to the utmost, no longer hiding his animosity towards Qin Fang, even deciding to use the cruelest, most horrifying methods to torture Qin Fang, making him suffer yet unable to die!

"Idiot... Are you done? Hurry and act... Finish this up, I'm rushing to the fourth layer of the underground palace!"

Yet, before Gagarin could finish speaking, Qin Fang interrupted him disdainfully, adopting a "you're an idiot" posture.

"Fuck! I want you dead..."

Such provocation infuriated Gagarin utterly, leaving no courtesy remaining, as his long-prepared African Dark Witchcraft immediately took action...

No apparent movements, just watching the terrifying black aura swirling around Gagarin, it directly turned into a massive and ferocious demon head, opening its huge bloody mouth, quickly charging towards Qin Fang.

The mouth expanded rapidly in the wind, faintly emitting a chilling coldness, swiftly approaching Qin Fang, seemingly intending to engulf Qin Fang entirely within... making observers' hearts tighten uncontrollably.

"Young Master Qin, be careful... Don't let anything happen!"

Feeling this terrifyingly abnormal aura, the kind that incites fear and trembling from the heart, Charlie and others could only silently pray in their hearts... They wished to help, even if just to shield Qin Fang a bit.

But at this moment, they couldn't manage it, their legs felt like they were filled with lead, unable to move at all... Completely suppressed by this evil aura, powerless to do anything.

And what about Qin Fang on that side?

Qin Fang remained standing there as if greatly oppressed, motionless... Yet his expression was still natural, seemingly expecting all this, not surprised, rather...

"Huh, why is he smiling?"

Just as Charlie and the others were worrying, they suddenly saw that Qin Fang, who was in the most dangerous situation, was not at all concerned, but instead bizarrely started to smile.

And then...

Buzz~~~

The eerie black mist that was about to engulf Qin Fang, the incredibly sinister demon, and the massive bloodthirsty mouth, all seemed to suddenly encounter something terrifying. Not only did they not advance further, but instead...

Turn around?

Yes, they turned around!

The sinister demon formed from the overwhelming black mist abruptly twisted its body and swiftly turned its head to counterattack Gagarin, the practitioner of the Black Sorcery!

Gagarin, who was immersed in his dream of Qin Fang's bleak outcome, was suddenly confronted with this situation and was completely caught off guard...

Moreover, he had unleashed his Black Sorcery with all his might, exhausting seventy to eighty percent of his power. The remaining strength was utterly inadequate to counter such a terrifying Black Sorcery!

Ah~~~ Ah~~

When the demon completely engulfed Gagarin, the piercing screams emerging from the black mist sounded as if they were coming from the ghosts of the Eighteen Levels of Hell enduring the harshest punishment, truly sending chills down one's spine.

Even though Qin Fang had anticipated this, he was still startled by the horrific screams...

The harrowing screams continued, growing increasingly malicious and terrifying, while Gagarin was entirely enveloped by the black mist, making it impossible to see what was happening inside, nor the gruesome scene of bloodshed...

But this didn't prevent others from imagining... The horrific punishment occurring within that terrifying black mist was, in fact, the most fearsome in the world!

"This... What is... happening?"

Charlie and the others stared dumbfounded at the scene, shivering, their eyes filled with astonishment beyond words...

Initially, they all feared for Qin Fang, especially after Gagarin's Black Sorcery was unleashed, which made them feel deep despair. However, the situation did not unfold as they imagined; instead... the roles were completely reversed!

The one expected to be devoured by the Black Sorcery, Qin Fang, was still standing there intact, without a scratch. Not even the terrifying black mist touched the hem of Qin Fang's clothes.

And Gagarin, who should have been celebrating his victory over his opponent?

He was now enduring the most terrifying punishment, the source of which was... the very African Dark Witchcraft he cultivated!

Backfire?

Charlie and the others were not foolish!

Although they didn't understand the nuances, they realized this situation had long been anticipated by Qin Fang, completely countering the opponent's attack and turning it back onto him!

The African Dark Witchcraft was terrifying, but the effect of the backlash was even more frightening...

Gagarin suffered the most dreadful punishment within the black mist. No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't escape the deadly curse attack... Meanwhile, all Qin Fang could do was lend him a hand early, ending Gagarin's life swiftly with a gun, sparing him further torment and allowing him to die more quickly!

It wasn't that Qin Fang was truly benevolent, but Gagarin's screams were so harrowing that they attracted some attention, with quite a few people heading their way. Qin Fang had to act swiftly!

"A bloodless victory..."

Without any great effort, Qin Fang claimed a bloodless victory over the formidable Gagarin... Even Qin Fang himself found it quite unexpected.

Given Gagarin's power, had they fought to the death, Qin Fang would indeed have won in the end, but at a significant cost, potentially sustaining internal injuries that would impact his subsequent challenges.

But now, with Gagarin easily eliminated, Qin Fang preserved his strength at its peak... thus maintaining substantial competitiveness for the battles ahead.

As for why Qin Fang, having anticipated the methods to counter African Dark Witchcraft, didn't use them earlier, it was entirely for maximum benefit.

The longer the African Dark Witchcraft takes to conjure, the stronger the curse's power becomes, and naturally, the backlash is even more terrifying... Once Gagarin finished conjuring, he knew its power could torture Qin Fang to death, while similarly causing his own demise through backlash!

This was the reason Qin Fang deliberately gave Gagarin enough time to conjure...

In this way, Qin Fang needed only a simple strike to knock Gagarin to the ground for good, without a chance for counterattack — far more convenient than taking him down with punches and kicks!
