Destiny is ashes

Chapter 117 Lone Bamboo Mountain

At this moment, at the escape passage, the Fengdu guards were still interrogating the ghost cultivator.

Because of the opponent's weapon soul technique, he even began to suspect that someone inside Luofu was stealing from the company.

Contrary to what outsiders imagine, Luofu Group is a huge company with a huge business, and its internal members are definitely not united.

Our tribe’s Luofu Mountain is located high up in the Taixu Cave Heaven. The sages of all tribes concentrate on meditation and seldom inquire about worldly affairs.

Under the Luofu Mountain headquarters, there are countless internal factions composed of many corporate companies, which can be said to be numerous factions.

[True Talisman] is the rare object unearthed from the Dao Zong ruins by [Zhengyi Power Development Company] and the [Zhu Ming Palace] and [Jian Tian Bureau] behind it. Due to its unique properties, it can help the factions behind them gain more say in an important project of [Luofu Mountain Headquarters].

This thing is like a cake. If Zhu Ming Palace and Jiantian Bureau take one more bite, others will have one less bite. Naturally, there are many people who don't want to see them succeed.

They are more wary of internal competitors than external enemies.

[Tell me! Is it Xuanming Palace or Yaozhen Palace?] He intensified the ghost fire, intending to burn out the secrets deep in the ghost cultivator's soul.

"..."

The ghost cultivator's hexagram mask had begun to emit flames, and the soul light within was trembling continuously. It was obvious that he was about to lose his mind due to the burning soul-burning ghost fire of Fengdu Wei.

But just when a crack appeared on the Gua Xiang mask, the restriction hidden in it was triggered. A faint light suddenly flashed in the ghost cultivator's soul, and then he burst out with an extraordinary force with a roar, breaking free from the grip of Fengdu Wei.

The next moment, a ghostly shadow appeared, and the gray-black death energy was surging and turbulent. He screamed loudly, soared into the air, and pounced on Fengdu Wei's face.

When the ghost pounced, a transparent shield lit up on Fengdu Wei's body surface, with gray and black lines filled with the charm of the underworld inside, in an attempt to resist.

However, the ghost shadow stimulated by the secret hand restriction was incredibly powerful. The spiritual weapon-level shield was instantly shattered, and even the shield armor on the shoulder burst. Caught off guard, Fengdu Wei could only raise his hand and use his own spiritual energy to fight against the ghost shadow.

But at this moment, a ray of spiritual light broke through the air and hit the broken shield armor, causing Fengdu Wei to stagger and his shoulder armor to shatter, revealing his flesh and blood inside.

At the back, the martial artist who had been unconscious stood up while gasping for breath, with his only remaining right hand holding a spiritual light gun.

The wound on his arm was bleeding profusely. He gritted his teeth and forced his spiritual power to prepare for another shot.

But the furious Fengdu Wei blocked the ghost with one hand and pointed with the other hand. A dark light ignited the Lingguang Gun, and the underworld poison penetrated into the martial artist's body, causing him to vomit blood and become listless, without the strength to resist.

However, no matter how strong Fengdu Wei was or how good his equipment was, he couldn't do two things at once. While he was dealing with the martial artist, the ghost shadow screamed, pounced, and broke through the spiritual barrier of Fengdu Wei and penetrated into his flesh and blood body behind the armor.

【Ah ah ah ah! ! ! ! 】

Immediately, a deadly and icy feeling spread, and the Fengdu guards roared wildly due to the freezing.

He temporarily fell into madness, and stomped his foot on the ground, causing the blood-stained rocks around him to roll like waves, shock waves to spread, and white mist to roll like tides, rushing in all directions.

——It's bad. At this moment, the martial artist, whose arm was broken and poisoned, was completely hopeless. Whether Fengduwei suppressed the ghost that entered his body or the ghost controlled Fengduwei's body, he would definitely die.

Even if you use the trump card that should never be used... it's useless.

He couldn't even resist the aftermath of the shock and would be crushed into a pool of flesh. But at this moment, a hand grabbed the back of his collar and dragged him away.

In a flash, he was dragged across several streets and came to the inside of a collapsed ruin.

"who?!"

Wu Xiu was confused, panicked and angry. Although he was so weak that he was dragged away, he turned around quickly after sitting down and asked warily, "Who are you?!"

"The one who wants to kill Fengduwei and you with a sword."

An Jing said directly: "You are the culprit who attracted the Fengdu Guards, right? Don't waste your words, wait for the right opportunity and cooperate with me. After we kill the Fengdu Guards, I will ask you what is going on."

"If you didn't deliberately use the lives of people on the black market to hide yourself, I would have spared your life then."

"Let me live? You are so kind-hearted..."

Wu Xiu was originally looking at An Jing solemnly, but suddenly, his brows relaxed: "So you are from the wilderness... Ha, don't blame yourself for being affected. The people in this black market would die even without me. The Tianjian Bureau has long been unable to tolerate Xuanming Palace grabbing interests that do not belong to them. These damn big companies and groups will find every opportunity to take action."

Having said that, he looked in the direction of the Fengdu Guards and said in a deep voice: "You have nothing to do with this matter, so you don't have to fight. After I die, the Fengdu Guards will definitely use me to report their achievements. After he leaves, you can just take the secret passage. The other Fengdu Guards should not have time to catch you."

"The people from Xuanming Palace are still resisting underground. They should be able to hold out for half a day."

"How do you know I'm a wilderness person?" An Jing frowned, and Wu Xiu smiled and said, "I have called you with two chips just now, but you didn't respond at all. You definitely don't have a chip. Isn't this a wilderness person?"

"Little guy, you are too young, you probably don't even know the name of our Guiyi Army."

Seeing through An Jing's age, Wu Xiu's demeanor softened, and the wrinkles carved by wind and frost also softened a little: "We are a resistance force hiding in the wilderness, fighting against these super-corporations and cultivation families."

"Don't worry that I will harm you. I swear to never deceive you out of love for all."

"Universal love?" An Jing was slightly stunned. Although he didn't know the origins of Xuanming Palace or Guiyi Army, the former was most likely a faction under Xuandu Group, and the latter... made his memories of his past life flash and echo.

"The inheritance of Mo Sheng from Guzhu Mountain?" The sword spirit also reacted: "So it's the inheritance of Mo Sheng. No wonder they are the rebels."

"I will definitely die... Haha, as long as they don't get it, it will be fine."

Wu Xiu took a deep breath at this moment. He had figured something out, so he smiled and said to An Jing: "You can leave. After all, you are from the wilderness and they can't track you down. I can create a chance for you to escape."

"But you have to promise me one thing..."

[No, there is no chance]

Before the martial artist could finish his words, a huge black iron hand climbed to the edge of the corner wall, clenched its five fingers, and caused cracks to appear in the steel and concrete.

A dark figure with red pupils walked out of the shadows. The armored humanoid that came out from the corner had wounds on his shoulders intertwined with black granulations, wriggling and regenerating, with a demonic malice.

The reappearing Fengdu Wei gnashed his teeth and complained from the depths of his soul: [All of you insects must die! ]
