Shushan: Extinction

Chapter 123: The Dangers of Black Prison
After Zhu Er walked in, he gently pushed the wall next to him, and a secret door flipped open, revealing a corridor shining with fire.

Gong Tianwu was a little surprised and followed Zhu Er in. He found that the corridor turned a corner and went deep underground.

If it were in a place with good lighting, the mechanism in this cell should not be difficult to see.

But if the purpose of the visitor was to rob the prison, Gong Tianwu knew that he would not be able to discover him if he just took a quick look here.

So his eyes suddenly softened when he looked at Zhu Er. After all, this guy did play a role.

Suddenly, a shout like a broken gong came from the front:

"who is it?"

As soon as this voice came out, Gong Tianwu immediately knew that the other party must be extremely powerful.

Because of such a simple shout, people's eardrums felt swollen and painful, and even the dust above was falling.

Gong Tianwu was not surprised but happy, because his mentality at this moment was similar to that of a thief who had found a safe.

The safe is of course a big problem, but once this problem is dealt with, there is a high probability that there will be a surprise inside - especially when the thief has the ability to open the safe.

Zhu Er was like a young wife who had suffered a great injustice and finally met her parents. She quickly walked up to them and complained:

"Elder Niu! The new guest has a bad temper. He started to criticize people right away. He just…"

Zhu Er had just started complaining when he suddenly felt an extremely strong wind blowing past him, which even swept him to the ground and rolled him several times.

Then I heard the torch in front of me flickering and almost going out, followed by a muffled groan.

And the muffled groan came from Elder Niu.

Then, in the light of the fire, Zhu Er saw with horror that the guest official slashed at Elder Niu with one palm.

Elder Niu also smelled strongly of alcohol and it was obvious that he was not mentally prepared to be attacked and was just throwing the fight away.

However, when this palm was about to hit Elder Niu's arm, an illusion of a dagger suddenly appeared half a foot in front of the edge of the palm!

However, illusions are illusions, but when seen, they give people a very lifelike feeling.

What’s more important is that after this phantom dagger cut Elder Niu’s arm, it actually left a bloody mark.

This may not seem very powerful, but Elder Niu is not a human, he is a monster!

The sight of blood means the defense is broken.

And then Gong Tianwu's palm knife landed heavily on Elder Niu's arm.

At this moment, Elder Niu's face turned pale, and his burly body was forced to take a step back. It was obvious that he had suffered a loss.

As for the drunkenness, it was completely dispelled by the pain and tension in an instant.

After succeeding in one move, Gong Tianwu continued to use his style of taking advantage of the enemy's weakness to kill him, pursuing him relentlessly and without mercy.

Each move is like chopping with a knife or chopping with an axe, with wide opening and closing, and looks extremely ferocious.

What's even more terrifying is that his every move seems to have the power to split mountains, and illusions of weapons appear behind him from time to time.

This strange phenomenon is the special ability that Gong Tianwu acquired after he was promoted to Martial Saint in this life.

Although the burly and strong Elder Niu had an amazing physique and natural strength, he was still struggling to fend off the attack and looked very embarrassed.

Not to mention anything else, just hearing the muffled "bang bang bang" sound when Elder Niu blocked the attack made Zhu Er feel frightened. If he were to go up to him, he would probably be slapped into a pulp.

Then, Zhu Er discovered with horror that blood had begun to flow out of Elder Niu's mouth and nose. It was not until then that he confirmed a fact that was hard to accept.

Elder Niu was actually being beaten by that "guest official"! !

That was Elder Niu, the one with unparalleled divine power and nicknamed the Lord Who Moves Mountains! !

Even if this mysterious guest had taken the initiative, he shouldn't have been suppressed to such an embarrassing state.

All of a sudden, Elder Niu exhaled and uttered the word "Hum" from his nostrils.

With this snort, two long white streams came out of his nostrils, and his whole body was shining with a faint golden light, which was an obvious sign of greatly increased defense.

The most exaggerated thing was that Elder Niu’s body suddenly grew in size. He took a step back abruptly, pulled back his fists, and was about to strike out with all his strength!
At the same time, an illusion of a giant bull suddenly appeared behind him, charging forward with its head lowered.

This move is his innate magical power: it is called the Mountain Crashing Style!
After performing this move, Elder Niu will burn a part of the blood and energy in his body, in exchange for an extremely powerful defense and the subsequent explosive attack.

Of course, the price is that your cultivation will regress by at least ten years, and your lifespan will be shortened to a certain extent.

Although the lifespan of monsters is often longer than that of humans, no one/monster would mind having a short lifespan, right?

Elder Niu's full-strength attack was actually unavoidable.

Because he had never encountered such a cruel situation where he was beaten as soon as he met someone, and he even had a strong premonition in his heart.

If I continue to passively take the beating, I won't have any chance to fight back and will be beaten to death!

You have to fight to the death to have a chance of winning!!!
Gong Tianwu was also caught off guard at this time. He suddenly stepped forward and tried to steal the attack, but was hit by the giant bull illusion first. He lost his balance and was knocked away.

Elder Niu exhaled in a deep voice, and took this opportunity to punch out with both fists. There was even a thunderous roar in the air.

It was also thanks to Gong Tianwu's strength as a Martial Saint that after being knocked away, he hit the wall next to him with his elbow and managed to keep his balance without falling to the ground in a mess.

At this time, Elder Niu's fists were charging again with a tremendous force. Gong Tianwu tapped his feet and quickly retreated, while stretching out his hands, grabbing and trying to clamp Elder Niu's pulse.

But when his hands approached Elder Niu's fists, they were easily pushed away by a strong force.

In desperation, Gong Tianwu could only quickly change his palm into a fist and punch out in a series of crackling punches, similar to the sun-shaped punch in Wing Chun, in an attempt to slightly offset the power of Elder Niu's powerful blow.

The key point is that this place is inside a cell, and Gong Tianwu has limited room to dodge and retreat quickly, and he is retreating quickly. Once he is forced into a corner, he will be in big trouble.

Just after Gong Tianwu quickly threw dozens of punches, a strange illusion suddenly appeared behind him.

This illusion looks like a human face, but it is indescribably strange. Upon closer inspection, the breasts look like eyes and the mouth looks like a belly button.

The illusion held a weapon that looked like an axe or a knife in its left hand, with an ancient and majestic air, and held a shield in its right hand!
As soon as this illusion appeared, Elder Niu was shocked all over. He felt that his whole body was infused with and controlled by an indescribable force. Then he couldn't help but lose his balance and fell to the ground.

This is the effect of Gong Tianwu's golden talent Xing Tian's Wrath being triggered - Xing Tian's Fierce Will! !
Although this attack did not cause any damage, Elder Niu's mountain-ramming style was completely eliminated, and he fell to the ground, having to get up again in a very embarrassed manner.

Seizing this great opportunity, Gong Tianwu's left hand suddenly twisted and deformed in an instant, turning into a hideous and ferocious giant claw.

Its surface is bluish-black in color, and has a large number of translucent light golden scales on its body. Therefore, its most lethal claws are also translucent, which makes it less visually threatening.

The giant claw suddenly stretched out and went straight to Elder Niu's heart.

Elder Niu was in a state of being wide open at this time, with no way of blocking or anything like that. He could only rely on the skyrocketing defensive power of his whole body to resist.

However, the man's left claw suddenly accelerated, and Elder Niu's thick golden skin on his chest did not pose any obstacle and was pierced directly.
Then, with a push of the giant claws, a dark red heart as big as a coconut was taken out alive.

Even though the heart was pinched in the claws, it was still beating wildly, and the "thump thump" sound of the heartbeat could be clearly heard.

At this time, the ferocious giant claw slowly disappeared and turned back into a human hand.

***
This attack is called the Jiao-killing Technique, and it was the first time that Gong Tianwu used it in actual combat. It was originally a life-defining magical power that was derived from the root bone after it was strengthened to 40 points.

The effect is to activate the blood potential hidden in the body and cause temporary local mutations.

This magical power combined with Gong Tianwu's bloodline actually produced such a strange and powerful change, which was something Gong Tianwu had never expected.

Because according to the previous explanation, his body only contains one eighth of the dragon's blood. To be honest, this blood content is actually very low and basically not worth mentioning.

Therefore, Gong Tianwu didn't take it seriously, because under normal circumstances, there must be more than one-third of demon blood in the body to exert greater magical powers.

After successfully attacking the heart, Gong Tianwu himself did not expect that the power would be so amazing, so he relaxed for a moment.

But then, he felt a suffocating and powerful force coming towards him, and then his whole body was knocked flying, hitting the wall behind him heavily.

The collision caused a loud, dull "bang" sound, and Zhu Er felt frightened when he heard it.

It turned out that Elder Niu was also extremely powerful. Even though his heart was forcibly taken out, he was still able to grit his teeth and persevere, completing the performance of his magical power of crashing into the mountain.

Although the power has certainly decreased a lot, the power that erupts in extreme pain is definitely not weak.

Then Elder Niu took two steps back and leaned against the wall. Blood was already gushing out from the wound on his chest, but he gritted his teeth tightly. His heavy breathing was clearly audible, and his eyes were fixed on the fallen opponent in the distance.

It was obvious that Elder Niu was extremely confident in his mountain-ramming style. He believed that the opponent would definitely die. In this way, even if he was about to die, he would feel calm and refreshed, with no regrets.

But most of the things in the world are not as we wish.

The next second, the black shadow that was knocked away - Gong Tianwu, rolled up from the ground and strode towards this side.

Judging from his agile gait and neat posture, he should not have suffered any serious injuries.

But this is actually normal, because before the mountain-collision force erupted, Elder Niu's heart was dug out.

So the mountain-hitting style seems to have been completed, but in fact the actual force exerted is less than 30% of its full strength.

Witnessing this scene, Elder Niu closed his eyes in pain, then fell down weakly along the wall behind him, letting out a long sigh:
“How hateful!”

Yes, his heart was really filled with regret.

Because Elder Niu is not good at fists and feet, but weapons!!
When he wears the unique golden-patterned armor, holds an octagonal thick-edged purple-gold halberd in his hand, and steps on the silver-threaded cloud-walking clogs, that is when his fighting power is at its strongest.

Before this battle, Elder Niu had just woken up from a hangover, and when he saw the familiar face of Zhu Er, he was completely unguarded.

As a result, he was ambushed by the enemy as soon as they met and lost the initiative. He was even forced to engage in close combat in such a cramped place, and was finally killed.

To be honest, no one would be willing to accept such an experience. Even if Gong Tianwu put himself in their shoes, he would definitely feel very aggrieved.

However, after Elder Niu closed his eyes, his entire body was suddenly completely enveloped by turbid white flames. Then, in a short period of time, he burned into a torch, and finally completely turned into a pool of white powder.

A great demon of his generation ended up like this.

Gong Tianwu let out a breath slowly. To be honest, he felt that this guy was indeed a bit difficult to deal with.

However, in order to hide his identity, Gong Tianwu never used the magical powers he learned from the Great Snow Mountain. Otherwise, the battle would have ended faster.

A prompt also appeared in front of Gong Tianwu:

"You killed Niu Tianmeng, which directly led to a change in his fate."

"Niu Tianmeng would have successfully ascended to the upper realm after seventy-seven years, and become the guardian spirit beast of the Huanbo Pool."

"However, Niu Tianmeng suddenly triggered a heart demon calamity during his cultivation three hundred and twenty years later and was severely injured."

"After twenty-three years of recuperation, Niu Tianmeng went completely mad and was possessed by his inner demon. He caused a great disturbance and was brutally killed."

"You gain 12 karma points for this."

Gong Tianwu took a quick glance and before he could take a closer look, he heard the alarm bell ringing nearby.

Immediately, shouts, screams and fighting sounds were heard from the dark cell.

Gong Tianwu frowned and immediately rushed in.

He discovered that there were five prisoners held separately in the dark cell. Two jailers were holding weapons and attacking them. Two prisoners had already fallen in a pool of blood.

The remaining three prisoners were also in a difficult situation and faced many dangers. It seemed that their lives were in danger at any time.

After witnessing this scene, Gong Tianwu immediately picked up a table next to him and smashed it forward, while rushing forward quickly.

The two jailers seemed to have given it their all. Although one of them was staggered by a table, he ignored Gong Tianwu's arrival. His faces were distorted and he continued to attack the prisoners against every second.

One of them was unable to dodge and his arm was cut off by the knife. He immediately let out a shrill scream.

The jailer swung his knife again with a grin, and the unfortunate prisoner could only close his eyes and wait for death.

But at this critical moment, a huge force suddenly came from the side and knocked the jailer away.

The guy staggered backwards, completely losing his balance, and then hit the wall next to him with a "bang". He immediately fell to the ground with a bloody head and lost consciousness.

Another jailer was still swinging his knife at another prisoner, but this prisoner seemed to be in much better shape and condition. He looked embarrassed but was actually as steady as an old dog. He could not be killed within a few moves.

Gong Tianwu strode towards the jailer, who let out a strange cry and suddenly swung his knife at him.

While he was swinging the knife, he actually opened his mouth and a ball of fire spurted out.

If an ordinary person encountered this move, he would definitely be burned to a crisp, but unfortunately he encountered the Martial Saint Gong Tianwu!

Gong Tianwu turned around and pinched the pulse point on his right hand. He pulled him to make him lose balance and then placed his palm on his chin.

This blow made the jailer's eyes bulge out instantly, because the fire was continuously spurting out for at least two or three seconds.

Gong Tianwu placed his palm on his chin, which undoubtedly prevented the remaining two seconds of flame from coming out.

To understand how this feels, just imagine that when you are halfway through vomiting, a bastard suddenly blocks your mouth so that you can't vomit.

What's more, what the jailer wanted to spit out was not vomit, but fire.

So, he immediately rolled over and over on the ground wildly, twitching, with bursts of flames coming out of his mouth, and eventually he died completely.

Facing the expectant eyes of the prisoners, Gong Tianwu did not disappoint them. He directly opened the cell door and said in a deliberately hoarse voice:
"Hurry up, the Yuan family's reinforcements will be here soon!"

After hearing this, the two prisoners immediately ran away. Only the guy with the broken arm struggled in a pool of blood, looking very painful.

Gong Tianwuxin thought it would be better to send the Buddha to heaven, as his death would do him no good, so he walked over and fed him medicine to stop the bleeding, all in one go without any effort.

This guy is of course also a monster, and he said in a trembling voice:
"I am from the Gushan of the Lu family. I wonder your name, benefactor? I will repay you for your kindness in the future."

Gong Tianwu whispered:

"Just call me Ninety-Seven."

Before Gong Tianwu came this time, he must have prepared top-grade healing medicines. The effect of the medicines quickly took effect, and the man from Gushan suddenly became energized. He immediately picked up his broken arm and staggered away.
