Chapter 521: The Beginning of an End



In reality, the Paranormal Pawnshop was not weak at all!

Its defences were even stronger inside the pawnshop.

Fang Yuan was constantly under the increasing pressure from the curse of the pawnshop!

If not for the fact that he had already released both ghosts in his body and was resisting the pawnshop’s curse with his ’Strange’ Level Frosted Ghost, he would’ve died long ago.

Even if he could survive, he would be tossed out of the dimension, or his memories would be altered, or his soul would be harvested.

But now, Fang Yuan was as courageous as he ever was. He was against the pawnshop’s curse head-on and the traders which the pawnshop had strengthened were no match against Fang Yuan!

"I’ve found it!"

Suddenly, his gold and red eyes glared at a particular wall. Both his hands started to turn light-blue. "Open... up!"

The pawnshop would surely hide its source in the depths of the alternate dimension. It would be futile to use physical brute force to destroy the wall.

The only thing which could stand a chance against a Strange Level curse would be another Strang Level ghost!

Therefore, Fang Yuan unreservedly used the abilities of his ghost to lock on to the deeper dimension behind the wall!

"Kacha! Kacha!"

The wall turned into ice and the dimension behind it froze as well and could no longer move.

"Bang!"

With that, Fang Yuan struck a simple punch out and a huge hole was indented into the wall.

Behind the hole, there was a larger room.

This hall would never have been visible in the pawnshop’s actual building. This was where its real source laid, hidden in the depths of the alternate dimension.

But now, it was being infiltrated by Fang Yuan!

The dark hall was huge and there were black statues which decorated the room. Most of them were ferocious-looking beasts, but some of them resembled fallen angels.

In the middle of all the statues, there was a black-coloured stone platform which seemed to be entirely made out of obsidian. On the platform, there was a scroll of parchment!

"The source of the curse!"

Fang Yuan’s eyes glistened. Quickly, he transformed into a shadow and leapt towards the parchment.

"Creaaaak!"

In that instant, the eyes of the statues lit up and looked towards Fang Yuan.

In the surroundings, swarms of ghosts appeared. It was like an army of ghosts which guarded the obsidian fiercely.

"Get lost!"

As he roared, his hands turned into ice and fire. With a casual flick, the wronged souls disappeared.

"Bang!"

A black statue pounced forward. It was a three-headed bat which was emitting a screeching vibration.

"Die!"

With a casual grip, the chilly claws destroyed the heads of the statue effortlessly. Blood gushed out of the status as though it was a real living thing.

"These statues..... Every single one of them seems like a Murderous Level ghost and a curse in itself!"

Fang Yuan’s eyes glistened. As soon as the blood touched Fang Yuan, it evaporated instantly.

There were at least a hundred of these stone statue ghosts in the room! Together with the Strange Level curse on the parchment, Fang Yuan would really be troubled if all of these paranormal beings were to attack him at once!

Even with the Spirit Sealing Body, Fang Yuan had a limit and could not seal so many ghosts at once!

"Get lost!"

Fang Yuan clenched his teeth and the dark purple hue started to spread on his body. With that, he released the ghosts in him to his limit.

"Keke!"

The powerful force of a curse started to spread from Fang Yuan’s body. It was a curse of the Strange Level and the swarm of ghosts were easily chased away. Even the statue ghosts of the Murderous Level did not dare to advance any further.

The entire room quietened down. Only the parchment on the obsidian platform was still emitting its evil glow.

"I see... Only a curse of the Strange Level will be able to resist it!"

As Fang Yuan rushed towards the platform, he realised that a new statue was rising up, blocking his way to the platform.

It had the shape of a normal human being. It stretched its hands forward as though it was trying to grab the parchment. He was donned in an archaic attire and had a ponytail as well. His expression of fear and desperateness was extremely lifelike.

"Is this... the first trader who had signed the contract with the pawnshop?"

In an instant, Fang Yuan understood everything. "His agreement to the contract started the curse of the pawnshop. However, he did not have it easy as well. His soul was confiscated from him and his body was being used to spread the curse!"

At this point in time, cracks resembling spiderwebs started to spread on the statues, revealing a human’s skin.

The 30-year-old man stood up. Although he had the same appearance as the statue and wore a black religious robe, he was expressionless and his eyes were completely black as though they had become black holes of the universe. His eyes began to absorb light from the surroundings as he stood in front of the obsidian platform.

"The human form of a Strange Level curse?!"

Fang Yuan licked his lips and swung his right hand forward. "Heavenly Eagle Claw!"

"Chirp! Chirp!"

A huge eagle appeared behind him and its feathers had a blue icy hue. It had an icy crown on its head as well as it swung its claws towards the man in black.

Against a strike which could severely injure a Murderous Level ghost, the man in black did not appear fearful. Instead, he merely raised both of his hands.

"Whooo!"

His black-hole-like eyes seemed to sparkle and in an instant, the giant eagle disappeared.

"Pa!"

As Fang Yuan’s claws met with the palms before him, he could feel his hairs standing on its ends.

"This human form... is indestructible and will not die. Most importantly, its eyes have the ability to absorb spirits. If I am a normal human, just by looking at its eyes, my soul would’ve been harvested..."

"Whoosh!"

At this point in time, black chains shot out of the man like spider webs as they attempted to restrain Fang Yuan in the centre.

"Even I will die if I am being absorbed into him!"

Fang Yuan clenched his teeth. "Complete release!"

"Buzz!"

Everything froze for a moment.

If anyone was around, they would see a purple frozen corpse crawling out of Fang Yuan’s body.

As soon as it appeared, the chains around it froze into ice.

This was an evil ghost at the Strange Level. Although it still had not restored its full abilities, it was already as powerful as the human form of the pawnshop!

"Shiing!"

It was as though the metal chains had realised something.

The purple corpse disappeared into thin air. Suddenly, it appeared above the man in black and pressed downwards.

"Bang!"

The human form which Fang Yuan had failed to injure the slightest bit was being forcefully pressed down and the two curses were engaged in a fierce fight.

"This is the best chance!"

Fang Yuan transformed into a charred Murderous Level ghost and flew towards the obsidian platform.

On his body, spirits started to appear and stretched their hands towards the parchment as well.

"Whoosh!"

One of the spirits arrived at the obsidian platform. However, a black streak of lightning struck down, disintegrating it.

The second spirit managed to retrieve the parchment but froze on the spot and disintegrated!

"This is the true source of the Strange Level curse... Even ghosts at the Spirit Level will be disintegrated as soon as they come into contact with it!"

A few test subjects had continuously failed. However, this made Fang Yuan even more confident. He leapt towards the obsidian platform and swung his hand out.

"Pa!"

The parchment was held in his hands.

"Seal!"

A swirl started to appear on his palm and the parchment was being absorbed into it.

"Ahhh!"

The pain of being forced into a spirit started to spread across Fang Yuan’s body.

"Do I need to experience the power of the curse before I seal it?"

Fang Yuan clenched his teeth. If not for the fact that his physical conditions were at 15 points, he would have died under this curse and his Spirit Sealing Body would do nothing to help him survive!

He seemed to seemingly experience flashbacks as he went back in time to the beginning of the pawnshop.

.....

In an ancient-looking pawnshop.

A man in black was crying before a coffin and a tablet. It was his late wife, Lanxin.

"Why... why wouldn’t the heavens let us be together..."

The man shouted as he questioned the heavens. There was no reaction from the heavens, but Hell responded.

The ground beneath him split and a huge black hand stretched out from the depths of hell. It pulled out a piece of parchment and presented it to the man.

"You want my soul and my everything? No problem!"

After the man read the terms, he started to laugh heartily. "As long as I can see my Lanxin... I will agree to any condition!"

In the next moment, the man had bit his thumb and signed the contract.

"Rumble!"

As soon as his blood landed on the parchment, the skies turned dark and thunder roared.

"Whiizzzz!"

The entire pawnshop was being pulled into an alternate dimension and the walls were being covered by a dark liquid. The pawnshop was undergoing an overhaul.

As the owner of the pawnshop, the man lost his vision and the curse started to flow into him. He became the human form which bore the power of the parchment and started to explore the world to harvest souls.

Fang Yuan knew that at the moment of agreeing to the contract, the curse had already confiscated this man’s soul.

Hell had kept its promise to allow the man to be reunited with his wife. However, the reunion was in the depths of hell and the both of them were now dead!

...

"For a woman he loved, he recklessly released this harmful curse?"

In his right hand, the parchment was already entirely absorbed into the swirl and had disappeared.

At that instant, the man in black who was pressed towards the ground disintegrated into powder.

The source of the Strange Level curse and the Paranormal Pawnshop was finally sealed up!

In that instant, before Fang Yuan could take another breath, the frozen corpse had already arrived above him!

A completely released ghost would surely attempt to attack its owner!

This time, it was different!

Previously, Fang Yuan was up against a ghost which was severely injured by the Door, only comparable to a ghost at the Murderous Level.

This time, the frozen corpse had partially restored its Strange Level abilities!

"Kacha! Kacha!"

In an instant, Fang Yuan turned into a frozen statue. He could not even twitch his eyelid.

Outside, the entire Paranormal Pawnshop started to self-destruct and all the traders outside were in shock.
