Shushan: Extinction

Chapter 124 Heavenly Treasure: Heavenly Dragon Pearl

Gong Tianwu then went to check on the other two prisoners.

One of them was stabbed twice, both in vital parts, and looked dead. His original fox form also appeared.

The other person was a dirty old man who had been tortured extremely badly beforehand. His eyes were completely blind and the tendons in his legs and hands were torn.

Not only that, he was also stabbed twice, both in vital parts, but this person's vitality was extremely strong and he actually still had a glimmer of hope.

The most peculiar thing was that when Gong Tianwu approached him, he suddenly felt a very friendly aura emanating from the old man, as if he had met a long-lost relative.

So Gong Tianwu took out the best medicine and fed it to him, then stopped the bleeding and bandaged his wound, then carried him out on his back.

After walking a few steps, the old man uttered a weak voice:

"Stop, stop."

Gong Tianwu stopped as he was told.

Perhaps the drug was taking effect, the old man was more energetic and said:
"The Yuan family has placed an extremely vicious restriction in my body. I will definitely die after leaving this damn place."

"However, I will die with peace of mind knowing that my family has not forgotten me and has sent a talented young man like you to save me."

Hearing him say this, Gong Tianwu immediately knew that the old man had recognized the wrong person.

At this time, he had already carried the man out of the cell, so he could see by the light of the fire that the old man was probably near death and could no longer maintain his human body:

Long whiskers began to grow on the jaw and forehead, blue scales appeared on the skin, and the face began to take on a lizard-like shape.
Witnessing this scene, Gong Tianwu's heart skipped a beat and he suddenly realized that this old man should be a demon dragon.

No wonder I feel so close to it, because I have the rare blood of the dragon, so I feel close to it naturally.

At the same time, he had just used the Dragon Killing Technique, and the blood aura on his body was at its strongest, so this old man mistook him for a junior.

However, Gong Tianwu had a vague feeling in his heart that it might not be a bad thing to admit his mistake at this time.

This old man is so valued by the Yuan family and is locked up in this dark cell. He must be of great value that even the Yuan family covets.
And among the six demon generals, there seems to be a dragon demon general Ao Lin?

At this time, the old man continued:

"Which vein are you from, the water vein or the gold vein?"

"No, why does this aura have a faint sense of lightning? Could it be that you are the missing Old Seven who has been found?"

Gong Tianwu could no longer remain silent, so he used his all-purpose rhetoric and sighed:
"Hey, ancestor, please don't ask. I am the only one who came to save you this time. There is really something unspeakable in this."

"What's the situation with your restrictions? Although I killed Elder Niu with a surprise attack, their reinforcements will probably arrive soon. We have to hurry."

After hearing what Gong Tianwu said, the old man remained silent. After a few seconds, he smiled miserably and said:
"I understand, I understand. It turns out that the family is still fighting for power and oppressing each other. I guess there are more people who don't want to see me go back."

Gong Tianwu wanted to say something at this time, but he couldn't pick up his words, so he comforted him:
"You can't have everything you want, but you must have a clear conscience."

The old man seemed touched after hearing this. After repeating these words, he murmured:
"I have a clear conscience. I have a clear conscience"

Then he suddenly said:

"You came alone, but you were able to kill Niu Tianmeng. Your strength is outstanding among the younger generation."

Gong Tianwu was most afraid to mention family matters at this time, because it was very easy to be exposed, so he could only change the topic and said with a wry smile:
"To be honest, I took advantage of the situation. First, I took the initiative by a surprise attack. Second, my bloodline is impure, so I disguised myself as a human and attacked him when he was least prepared. I was lucky enough to succeed."

"If that sneak attack had missed, then it would have been disastrous."

Although Gong Tianwu said that the situation was dangerous, he actually still had two trump cards, Dong Huang Yin and Xing Tian Nu, that he hadn't played yet, so even if he failed, he would be as stable as an old dog.

In addition, the three prisoners who escaped first attracted the attention of the Yuan family, which was why he was willing to calm down and chat slowly with the old man.

After hearing the words "impure bloodline", the old man said:

"I see. I see. So you are not here to save me this time."

Gong Tianwu said:

"I dare not hide it from you, my ancestor. This is indeed the case. My main purpose for coming here is to teach the Yuan family a lesson. I was able to break into this place purely by accident."

The old man nodded, sighed and said:

"God's will, this is God's will"

"Never mind, you are not an outsider. You killed the bull demon and avenged the humiliation I have endured for so many years! Then I will leave this great opportunity to you."

At this point, he had already mostly transformed into the form of a dragon, and suddenly he stretched out his claws and dug into his left eye socket!
You know, the old man's eyes had been gouged out, and this grab should have only caused flesh wounds at most. However, as he moved, blood flowed from his left eye socket.

And in the center of his claws, there was a strange golden bead shining brightly.

This bead is probably only the size of a pea, and there are bursts of golden mist rising around it, and there seem to be strands of extremely powerful power coming from it!

When he saw this bead, Gong Tianwu suddenly felt his heartbeat quicken, and it seemed that something in the blood throughout his body was resonating with the bead.

Not only that, as soon as this golden bead appeared, the old man's entire body suddenly froze, and it felt like he was petrified at an extremely fast speed, and his life force seemed to have left his body in an instant.

After a few seconds, the old man's body collapsed and fell to the ground, leaving only the golden bead floating aimlessly in the air.

Then it circled around and actually flew towards Gong Tianwu. Without waiting for him to react, it directly merged into his body.

The next second, Gong Tianwu received a prompt from Kang:
"You have obtained the Heavenly Dragon Pearl."

"Rank: Lower Heaven Rank."

"This pearl was bred by a dragon whose cultivation has exceeded two thousand years."

"This monster possesses powerful magical powers, so when it reaches 300 years old, it can already perform the ritual of walking on a dragon and transform into a black dragon successfully."

"But its ambition is higher than the sky. It wants to achieve the right result and become a dragon. So it is unwilling to give in easily and has been waiting for the right opportunity."

"Finally, the gates of heaven opened, and the dragon flew up into the sky. Even the dreaded calamity could not do anything to it."

"However, when the tribulation was about to be successfully overcome, the dragon became too proud and spoke wildly. As a result, the tribulation suddenly intensified, so it was directly thrown down to the mortal world and failed to overcome the tribulation. In the end, only this dragon pearl was left."

"This item must be integrated into the wearer's body. It can only maintain its spirituality by absorbing the wearer's blood, consciousness, and energy. However, those who do not have dragon blood cannot benefit from it."

Seeing this, Gong Tianwu immediately understood what the Yuan family was looking for. It was undoubtedly this rare treasure!

It sounded like a coincidence that after so many twists and turns it ended up in his hands, but in fact, Gong Tianwu felt that it was his good fortune that played a role.

At this time, Kang's prompts appeared again one after another:

"Heavenly Dragon Bloodline (Passive). This attribute can only be activated by creatures with dragon/dragon bloodline. Once absorbed into the body, the bloodline in the body will be greatly stimulated."

"The rare dragon blood in your body has been activated and purified, and the corresponding innate magical powers have also undergone subtle changes."

"Your root bone +15."

"Heaven's Jealousy (Passive) (Negative). Because the Heavenly Dragon angered the Heaven and died in the calamity, the person who holds this item must also face the Heaven's punishment. Fortune -10."

After seeing this, Gong Tianwu was stunned.

Just as I was about to take a closer look, I noticed a commotion coming from outside. It sounded like a lot of people had come.

Gong Tianwu frowned slightly and immediately looked towards a room on the way here.

Judging from the location, that place should be where the jailer lives. Gong Tianwu had noticed it a long time ago, but he had no time to look at it.
Because there was a flash of light from time to time in that place, which was quite dazzling, but Gong Tianwu spent too much time on the ancestor of the Ao family and had no time to go and see it.

Since he was planning to run away now, he had to go and take a look anyway.

As a result, after Gong Tianwu took a big step over, he found that the room was quite large and beautifully decorated, and the person living there must be of extraordinary status. The glittering thing was a set of luxurious war helmets hanging up, with a unique golden texture on the surface, which looked quite good.

On the weapon rack next to the armor, there was a thick and long strange halberd placed upright!

At first glance, both of them look extraordinary.

Gong Tianwu didn't know at this time that they were the weapons that the previously killed Elder Niu had carried with him:

Unique golden armor,
Octagonal thick-edged purple gold halberd!!

Gong Tianwu walked forward and touched the golden helmet. He found that it did look extraordinary, but he also found that it was not suitable for him to wear.

After all, Elder Niu is a strong man, about two meters and five centimeters tall when he stands there. Once the battle starts and he uses all his strength, he will be almost a three or four meter tall monster. The armor that he feels fits him well will definitely not be suitable for Gong Tianwu.

Therefore, after Gong Tianwu confirmed that this thing could be decomposed by Kang, he immediately decomposed it.

Then Gong Tianwu picked up the octagonal, thick-edged purple-gold halberd next to him, weighed it and felt it was very suitable, so he picked it up and rushed out.

As a result, just as Gong Tianwu rushed to the door, he saw two demon guards rushing in, shouting, holding huge black sticks in their hands.

Gong Tianwu stopped talking. He took a step forward and lunged forward, his wrist shaking violently!
The octagonal, thick-edged, purple-gold halberd in his hand immediately pounced out like a giant snake hunting its prey, pointing directly at the head and face of the man in front.

The demon guard immediately sensed a great danger and let out a strange cry. He felt the hairs all over his body stand up.

It also took prompt action and immediately summoned a magic weapon, which looked like a golden bowl, and completely covered itself in an instant.

But the next second, the sharp edge of the octagonal, thick-edged purple-gold halberd hit it hard, and the magic weapon made a loud noise in an instant and was destroyed. The whole person was knocked away directly, and knocked down two or three companions behind him.

Even Gong Tianwu himself did not expect the power of this attack!

The other demon guard was also experienced in combat and knew that the enemy in front of him was unfathomable in strength. If he retreated rashly, he would only be hunted down and killed.

So it let out a strange cry, and its entire body suddenly made a "bang" sound, and a large cloud of white mist rose up.
Then, six identical illusions appeared in an instant and pounced towards Gong Tianwu.

It was obvious that this guy was planning to get close to him. The octagonal, thick-edged purple-gold halberd was a typical long weapon, and once he got close to him, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble.

But Gong Tianwu did not lie dormant for the first twenty years in vain. During this long period of time, he was in seclusion and recharged himself.

It is not an easy task for an ordinary person to master all eighteen kinds of weapons.

Someone may spend his entire life on a single weapon and still not be able to achieve mastery, let alone dominate all fields.

However, Gong Tianwu, with the strength of a Martial Saint, 53 points of physique, and 36 points of comprehension, practices these eighteen weapons, which can truly be called a dimensionality reduction attack.

So, although it seemed like he was holding the octagonal thick-edged purple-gold halberd for the first time, when the opponent rushed forward, he had actually simulated four ways of dealing with it in his mind.

At this moment, facing this group of illusions rushing towards him, Gong Tianwu shouted:
"kill!"

At this time, the sound attack technique was already used.

The word "kill" echoed throughout the entire black prison like a thunderclap.

After being hit by the sound waves, the five phantoms immediately froze in place and then slowly dissipated.

As for the demon guard himself, he also stood there with his eyes wide open.

At this time, Gong Tianwu exhaled in a deep voice, turned around on the spot, and threw the octagonal, thick-edged purple-gold halberd in his hand forward.

When throwing it out, he used a unique technique to make this powerful weapon spin rapidly, turning it into a terrifying light wheel with a diameter of more than ten feet, which instantly blasted forward.

Sweeping away the clouds!!
In an instant, all the demon guards standing in front of them were killed or wounded.
Most of the unlucky guys were cut into two pieces directly, and a few who were standing at the back blocked the attack in time, but they were also blasted and flew out with blood spurting out.

There was a pungent smell of blood in the air.

Gong Tianwu was not idle at all. Instead, he bent down and leaped out, chasing after the halo formed by the octagonal, thick-edged purple-gold halberd, like a ferocious and bloodthirsty beast.

Don't think that he is unarmed at this moment. With his current strength, anyone hit by his punches or elbows will actually feel the same as being hit by a sledgehammer.

In less than a minute, the demon guards who came to support were killed and wounded. Seven of them fell in a pool of blood, and the rest scattered like frightened birds.

But Gong Tianwu was also hit by two sticks and one knife. Although nothing could be seen on the surface, he himself knew very well that his combat effectiveness had been reduced by at least 20%.

This is also the disadvantage of the Martial Saint. When facing a group attack, especially a group attack from cultivators, he is always unable to take care of everything.

No matter how fast a Martial Saint's reaction is, it is not as fast as a flying sword or a spell.

Fortunately, Gong Tianwu is not a pure martial saint. Theoretically, he has enough ways to solve this problem, but he lacks the resources now.

After watching the remaining demon guards flee in panic, Gong Tianwu let out a long sigh, thinking that if these bastards could hold on for another half a minute, he would be the one to escape.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gong Tianwu returned to the dark cell below and conducted a quick search, only to discover that Zhu Er was still alive.

When this guy saw Gong Tianwu, he was so scared that he knelt down and begged him for mercy with tears in his eyes.

To be honest, Gong Tianwu really didn't want to kill him, so he said calmly:
"Many people saw that you were the one who brought me down here, and then all the jailers died. Only you survived."

"Do you think the Yuan family will listen to your explanation and think you are innocent?"

Zhu Er was a straightforward person, otherwise he would not have waited until Gong Tianwu attacked Elder Niu before realizing that Gong Tianwu wanted to jailbreak.

After hearing Gong Tianwu's analysis, combined with the Yuan family's usual style of doing things, and thinking of those extremely cruel criminal laws, he suddenly felt like a basin of ice water was poured directly on his head, and his teeth chattered as he said:
"Then what should I do?"

Gong Tianwu pointed at the corpses around him and said calmly:

"Since you have cooperated so well, I will show you a way forward."

"If I were you, I would first search the corpses around for valuables. If I'm lucky, I could get enough to last me the rest of my life."

"Then don't run away. Where can you, a weak little demon like you, escape to without any premeditation?"

After hearing this, Zhu Er immediately said in a trembling voice:
"Yeah, where can I escape to?"

Gong Tianwu nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Yes, you have to find a backer! So after you leave here, immediately go find a powerful force that is most hostile to the Yuan family, tell them that you know a lot of inside information, and are willing to join them as a witness."

"It doesn't matter which one you choose, but it must be able to protect you, preferably at the level of the Six Great Demon Generals."

Zhu Er nodded hurriedly after hearing this:
"Yes Yes Yes!"

Gong Tianwu said:

"You have to remember that small forces cannot protect you. They might even capture you and hand you over to the Yuan family. They will reap the benefits first."

"Only those powerful forces will find you useful and go to great lengths to protect you."

"Come on, let's go up and help me release the rest of the people. You're planning to run away anyway, so this little bit won't make any difference, right?"

Zhu Er was shocked when he heard this:
"Ah? Release him?"

Gong Tianwu sneered:

"I just pointed out a clear path for you. Why don't you want to do me a small favor?"

Zhu Er had a sad face and nodded repeatedly:
"Yes, yes."

Although this guy was a little slow to react, he was very clear in his mind that if he shook his head, the octagonal, thick-edged purple-gold halberd in the opponent's hand might chop him down.

So the two of them hurried to the first level of cells and released all the people.
