The curse rebounded
That thing leapt at Song Yan who didn't even blink and simply slashed her scythe in the direction of the condemned soul, who sensing danger changed the trajectory of its motion and swept towards the opposite wall before lunging at Song Yan from behind noticing that her back was turned on it but before it could so much as touch Song Yan, she twirled her scythe and backhandedly slashed the condemned soul into a puddle of charcoal black blood and frothy mess.
The moment she slashed the soul, the red candles flickered and crackled with a loud hiss as they sucked in the dark puddle on the floor of Au Mei's room, as soon as the black puddle was sucked in by the wickers of the candles, morphing the fumes from gloomy black to pearly white, the red diamond turned black and Au Mei stopped struggling as well. Song Yan noticed the change in red diamond and walked towards Au Lisha before taking the now cursed diamond from her with a grim expression.
