Shushan: Extinction

Chapter 153: Severely Injured Weapon Soul
Sure enough, this time Gong Tianwu immediately let out a strange cry, then squatted down with his hands on his head, looking extremely panicked and completely collapsed.

Upon seeing this scene, the spirit of the weapon was immediately overjoyed. The purpose of its actions was very simple, to put it bluntly, it was to "attack the heart."

By finding Gong Tianwu's psychological weakness and then completely defeating it, he can be completely controlled by using illusions.

This effect is many times stronger than directly destroying the enemy's physical body through fighting and killing.

Then the spirit of the weapon tried hard to create the appearance of thunder and lightning, but lightning is a very difficult celestial phenomenon to simulate, and it must be simulated realistically, so its own power was also rapidly reduced.

Suddenly, when a bolt of lightning created by the spirit of the weapon flashed in the air and meandered towards a big tree next to Gong Tianwu, Gong Tianwu, who seemed to be on the verge of collapse, revealed a hideous smile at the corner of his mouth!
He jumped up in an instant, reaching a height of more than ten meters, with his right hand raised high.

As his right hand was raised, it quickly twisted and deformed, turning into a terrifying and ferocious dragon claw.

Above the claw, a large group of fierce light gathered, squeaking in the air, and condensed into an electric ball with a radius of half a meter.

This ball of electricity echoed with the lightning that struck from the sky. It seemed that the lightning that fell straight down was actually charging the ball of electricity held by Gong Tianwu.

Wanling Thunder Method: Thunder Sky Rage!!

Gong Tianwu has been patient until now and has been misleading the spirit of the weapon, just waiting for this moment to come.

This attack is equivalent to the combined power of Gong Tianwu and Luanzhen Zuixiantu to attack the weapon spirit!

The next second, Gong Tianwu blasted the electric ball hard towards the cliff next to him!
And that was the place where the spirit of the weapon was as Kang had indicated.

Lightning itself has the additional special effects of warding off evil and breaking illusions. With the help of the power of the Heavenly Dragon Pearl, Gong Tianwu's control over lightning has been further improved.

After this blast, although the weapon spirit fled in shock, it was still a beat too slow and was hit hard.

The moment the electric ball hit the cliff, it exploded violently. A large amount of terrifying purple electric current surged everywhere, spreading and affecting areas within a radius of two to three hundred meters.

Wherever he passed, the scenery took on an eerie "faded" look, as if the VR panoramic realism had instantly turned into the old black and white of an ancient ink-splashed landscape painting.

The spirit of the weapon also appeared, and it looked like an extremely small monkey, trembling constantly.

When Yuan Hong was refining the Drunken Immortal Picture, he had extremely high requirements for the spirit of the weapon, and was therefore dissatisfied many times.

Finally, it took action personally and managed to make a female ape pregnant with its own offspring. After the baby ape was born and developed a sense of dependence and trust in its parents, it sent its men to suddenly and secretly kill it, and then extracted its soul to make an instrument soul.

At the same time, when the weapon soul was made, the murderer was killed in front of the little ape.

In this way, the weapon soul, which has been kept in the dark, will only regard Yuan Hong as its father and obey him in everything. The two of them will still be father and son, and there will be no worries about betrayal.

At this time, after being struck by lightning, the spirit of the weapon let out a series of strange "squeaking" sounds, which sounded extremely painful.

Not only that, under the continuous agitation of thunder and lightning, the surrounding space further deteriorated from "fading", strangely becoming lighter and peeling off.

Even large areas of light gray space were revealed, which looked like the background color of a scroll painting, with criss-crossing longitude and latitude textures.

After witnessing this scene, Gong Tianwu suddenly realized that the illusion he was dragged into seemed vast and boundless, as if it was an independent world of its own, but in fact it was not the case.

The space in the illusion is actually quite limited. The mountains and rivers in the distance are just lifelike textures! They only seemed real before under the maintenance of the soul.

After recovering a little, the weapon spirit immediately struggled and tried to escape.

This is inside its main body, and the quality of this "Drunken Immortal Picture" is extremely high, so it should be no problem to escape.

Gong Tianwu blew a soft whistle, and the invisible sword that had been lurking nearby for a long time shot out instantly and went straight for the opponent.

But the weapon soul continued to flash, and it was obvious that the invisible sword was approaching quietly, but its main body teleported more than ten meters away.

In this picture of the intoxicating immortal, one can really do whatever one wants.

However, Gong Tianwu had endured it until now, and had been acting with it for so long, how could he tolerate it just leaving like that? He immediately took a deep breath, raised his left hand, and flicked his fingers lightly.

This shot seemed to be understated and should have hit the void.

But in the void, a bell sound came slowly!

It seemed to have crossed eternity of time and space, and arrived slowly and leisurely, not a minute more or a second less, and just happened to encounter the instrument soul above the long river of time and space.

Moreover, the sound of the bell did not follow the normal path of sound → air → ear → brain, but it directly struck the fate of the soul of the instrument, imprinting the "result" and then slowly tracing back to the "cause" process.

Such an outrageous thing is like when Reba suddenly came to A-Tu one day and cried and told her that she was pregnant with his son, and then the two of them slowly made up for the pregnancy and borrowed sperm from each other.

This is Dong Huang Yin!!
After Kang Su reunited, he endowed Gong Tianwu with a new innate magical power.

Although this magical power is still far from the real Donghuang Bell, it is more than enough to work on the soul of the Zhenzhen Drunken Immortal Picture.

It is worth mentioning that the sound of Donghuang Yin cannot be heard by other people, even Gong Tianwu can hardly feel it.

But to the target's ears, it sounded like a loud bell, shaking even his mind!
Then the weapon soul suffered a devastating blow from Gong Tianwu. He grabbed its neck with a dragon claw and then burst out with terrifying purple lightning again, hitting it hard.

Not only that, the invisible sword attacked from behind and directly cut off one of its legs.

However, it was an artifact spirit after all, and there was no bleeding from the wound on the broken leg. The broken leg fell directly downwards, then quickly became translucent, and disappeared after falling to the ground.

After suffering these two severe blows, Gong Tianwu was about to kill it in one go, but he found that the weapon soul directly dissipated into millions of rays of light and flew in all directions.

This was because the soul of the weapon sensed that it was about to die, and so it used the Disintegration Technique. Once this technique was used, its cultivation level regressed three hundred years, and the entire magic weapon was directly destroyed.

At the same time, the entire environment in which he was located quickly began to become dark and bleak.

The majestic mountains and rivers and dense forests began to fade rapidly and become pale, just like a painting that was rapidly decaying and corrupting after being washed away by time for thousands of years.

Finally, this illusion completely turned into an irregular space, which looked like an area of ​​more than ten square kilometers. The ground was gray and bare, with only deathly silence and dust.

About four or five kilometers away from Gong Tianwu, two people were fighting.

Gong Tianwu looked carefully and found that one of them was actually Zhu Yin from Emei. Although he did not recognize his opponent, he was a burly monkey demon with brilliant silver armor and a purple gold eight-edged mace in his hand. He looked extraordinary.

Based on his previous experiences, it was not difficult for Gong Tianwu to infer that this monster should be Yuan Ming.

However, after taking a closer look, Gong Tianwuduo realized that this battle was actually difficult to determine the outcome:
Although Zhu Yin's flying sword was sharp, he had to avoid Yuan Ming's purple gold eight-edged mace, so although he seemed to have the upper hand, it was actually in vain.

Yuan Ming was probably afraid to use force against an elite Emei disciple like Zhu Yin, which would bring endless trouble, so he mainly defended and dodged. Occasionally, his counterattacks would make Zhu Yin so embarrassed that he had to swallow two or three pills in a row before he could recover.

However, at this time Yuan Ming was looking around in confusion. It seemed that the changes in his surroundings also made him feel that something was not right.

Everything is so grim and lifeless, it doesn't look like a good thing at all.

However, Gong Tianwu was able to find Yuan Ming and Zhu Yin in the first place because they were fighting. Even in a low-level battle like "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", there is Xie Xun's lion roar that is comparable to the accompaniment of square dancing, and the dragon-shaped light pollution produced by Qiao Feng's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms to attract attention, so that people from miles away can see and hear it, not to mention the battle between monks.

However, the battle between Gong Tianwu and the weapon soul has ended, and Gong Tianwu's body is mostly blocked by a huge rock, so it is not easy for Yuan Ming and the others to find him!

As the illusion in the picture changed dramatically, the clouds and fog that were originally diffused in the sky also began to dissipate rapidly, because the wind began to blow in the air - the kind of extremely cold wind!
The cold wind made a sharp whistling sound and swirled in all directions, making people feel desolate and dead silent from the bottom of their hearts.

That feeling was like the sharp whistling sound coming from the chest of a dying person, which could stop at any time.

When the clouds and fog completely dissipated, one could see a unique cave emerging in the core area of ​​this space. It was on a bare rocky mountain.

The entrance to the cave is a stone cave. There are seven unique statues standing majestically at the entrance. They are monkeys, cows, centipedes, sheep and other seven types. The height of each statue is more than tens of meters.

These seven statues of completely unrelated creatures are gathered together and seem to be having a great time. It seems very disharmonious, but they are forced together!
Gong Tianwu's eyes quickly swept across the seven unique statues. He knew Yuan Ming's identity, so a thought flashed through his mind:
"These seven statues reflect the original bodies of the Seven Monsters of Meishan!"

"After becoming spirits, these seven monsters swore brotherhood to each other. Could it be that the scene in which they swore brotherhood is reproduced by the statues gathered together?"

"Uh, it seems like they are reenacting the famous scene of the Three Heroes of Peach Garden?"

Immediately, Gong Tianwu confirmed his thought, and then subconsciously rushed towards the cave.

When he got closer to a few hundred meters away, he could clearly see that the stone cave had been modified. There was a plaque above the stone cave with four characters on it:

Large free sky
These four words are written crookedly and look very ugly.

On both sides, written in the same font:

"The deep cave hides the jade liquid, and the misty Meishan is surrounded by golden clouds."

After seeing this scene, Gong Tianwu thought more deeply about other things.

"Since Yuan Hong has already ascended to the upper realm, why did he leave this cave in this illusion?"

"Yes, Yuan Hong probably wasn't 100% sure that he could ascend successfully, so this is actually the tomb he prepared for himself before transcending the tribulation!?"

"If he fails to overcome the tribulation, then this will be the burial place he has chosen for himself."

"This place seems so hidden. If the weapon soul had not been severely damaged by me, it would not have been revealed at all."

"So, maybe there are some souvenirs or goodies in there?"

Thinking of this, Gong Tianwu immediately became even more excited, and then continued to run wildly forward.

There is no doubt that when he started to run towards this side quickly, he had already been spotted by Yuan Ming and Zhu Yin in the distance.

Yuan Ming was immediately shocked when he saw this. The others didn't know what was inside, but he knew very well where it was. The most valuable thing was the remains of the ancestor!

At this time, the ancestor's soul has returned to the upper world, and the remains are resting inside, without any resistance! If there is any damage, he and the Yuan family will lose a most precious trump card.

Therefore, Yuan Ming gritted his teeth and knocked Zhu Yin away with his mace, baring his teeth and threatening him viciously:

"Kid, if you don't want to die, get out of here!"

Then he quickly chased after Gong Tianwu.

However, Yuan Ming's threat was directed at the wrong person. If he had threatened a veteran like Gong Tianwu, the latter would have thought about it seriously.

But Zhu Yin, a gifted child of heaven, was always in a high position even in the Emei Villa. His teacher was usually kind and seldom said harsh words. After being threatened by Yuan Ming, the first thing that came to his mind was anger:
"How dare you talk to me like this, you bastard?"

Then Zhu Yin looked at Xu Tianwu who was rushing in front, and his competitive spirit suddenly ignited:
"Xu Tianwu dared to risk his life against this great monster, so why can't I?"

"Besides, wealth and honor are sought in danger. Judging from the appearance of this big monster, there might be some treasure in that place. I have a life-saving talisman with me, so why shouldn't I dare to go?"

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and then the arrogant Zhu Yin flew over there on his sword. His whole body turned into a ray of golden light, and his speed was unprecedentedly fast.

Of course, Gong Tianwu saw everything that was happening in the distance, and a vicious plan immediately came to his mind!
In fact, the unknown opportunities in this cave were not that attractive to Gong Tianwu. He now had a stable trade route to Xiongbian Mountain, and a steady supply of resources would be delivered every month.

So, when Gong Tianwu rushed to the cave entrance one step ahead, he was suddenly hit hard in the face and flew backwards.

At the same time, a shrill scream came out of his mouth.

He was thrown so badly that he landed on the ground more than ten meters away before he got up!
But even though he looked like he had suffered a great loss, after getting up he continued to rush forward with a grin on his face, looking like a virgin who was rushing towards love recklessly.

Immediately afterwards, Gong Tianwu raised his hand and threw out an ice snake leech that was unique to the Great Snow Mountain.

This thing slithered in the air and quickly hit one of the statues. When it hit the thing, the ice snake leech was actually shaken away crookedly, and then exploded in the air and turned into a ball of ice mist.

Gong Tianwu was also surprised at this time:
The fact that he was knocked away before was purely fake, but the fact that the ice snake leech was bounced away and exploded was not fake at all.

Not only that, there were a lot of cracks on the surface of the statue, and then stone pieces fell off in large numbers. A monster with a human body and a bull's head jumped out from it, holding a mixed iron stick and rushing towards Gong Tianwu.

It turned out that Gong Tianwu's prediction was not wrong. This cave did have defensive measures, namely the seven statues at the entrance.

When the Seven Monsters of Meishan became sworn brothers, they gave each other tokens of brotherhood. Yuan Hong used the tokens of brotherhood from the other six brothers to build corresponding statues here.

Because the core of the statues are the original owner's belongings, these statues also possess the power of inheriting part of the original owner's strength.

The monster that Gong Tianwu had to face at this time was the statue of Jin Dasheng, one of the Seven Monsters of Meishan. After rushing up, its attack was amazing, and all of its moves were to die together. To be honest, Gong Tianwu was quite troubled facing such an attack.

At the same time, it can be noticed that the other six statues were also not idle. They turned their heads to watch the battle in the field, with sinister light flashing in their eyes.

Because of this delay, Zhu Yin and Yuan Ming caught up one after another.

Yuan Ming was relieved when he saw this, but it was too early for him to relax.

It turned out that in the next second, Gong Tianwu suddenly tore a talisman:
His entire body immediately split into two, two into four, four into eight. Then it turned into more than fifty identical shadows that rushed out in all directions.

This talisman was one of Gong Tianwu's trump cards to save his life. It was worth more than thirty spirit stones, but he used it easily at this moment.

Yuan Ming was stunned when he saw it. He knew that among these dozens of Gong Tianwu, only one was real, but there were more than a dozen of them rushing towards the cave! How could he tell them apart in such a hurry?
In a rage, Yuan Ming suddenly stretched out his hand, pulled out three golden monkey hairs and threw them into the air. Immediately, he saw the three monkey hairs turned into three different clones.

The first clone looked like a macaque, with black wings on its back and two arms growing from its ribs. It wielded four Miao swords.

The second clone looked more like an orangutan, burly and strong, holding a stone pillar shaped like a huabiao in one hand.

The third clone has a human head and a monkey body. He looks very cunning, but holds a slingshot in his hand.
