Shushan: Extinction

Chapter 160 Obtaining the Heavenly Palace Heart Technique
The enemy laughed loudly:
"The invisible sword of the Great Snow Mountain is still unique, but yours is not one of them. I have been prepared for that."

"This sword is pretty good. I'll take it! I've had a lot of fun playing with you, young man. Farewell!"

Having said that, he immediately wanted to turn around and fly away.

After all, it is well known that physical cultivators are weak in speed. This person obviously knows Gong Tianwu very well and is very confident in his own body skills, so he seems to be able to come and go as he pleases.

However, at this moment, Gong Tianwu took a deep breath, and his entire upper body - chest, neck, and mouth - all swelled up noticeably, looking extremely weird!

Then he suddenly burst into a roar:

"kill!!"

This roar seemed to be just an ordinary physical cultivation skill: Lion's Roar.

In fact, deep down inside is the terrifying roar of the God of War!

What’s even more exaggerated is that in the deepest part of these layers of cover-up, typical sound attack techniques are also mixed in.

The attack from the combination of these three secret techniques was mighty and powerful, like a bursting flood, sweeping towards the enemy in a surging manner.

It can be seen that the enemy didn't even make a sound when he was hit. He just fell straight down from the air like a sparrow that was electrocuted.

Gong Tianwu showed a sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth, which was the pleasure of crushing the IQ:

You think I'm just feinting, but my real killer weapon is the hidden invisible sword.

But in fact, the invisible sword is the bait I put out, and the real killer is myself! !
After more than ten seconds, the enemy shook his head and opened his confused eyes as if waking up from a dream.

Then he saw Gong Tianwu, wearing the armor of the God of Wilderness, standing in front of him with his hands folded in front of his chest, looking down at him like a demon!
"you"

The man took a breath and opened his mouth slightly.

But before he could make any move, Gong Tianwu had already kicked him hard.

The man had no way to dodge this kick, and his entire lower body was trampled into the mud almost half a meter deep. His pelvis, thigh bones, and calf bones were all crushed to pieces!
He immediately let out a shrill scream, but it was of no use!

Zhu Yin, who was far away, witnessed this scene with his teeth chattering. In fact, he had already noticed the existence of Elder Teng.

And from his position, it can be analyzed that this guy should be coming for Xu Tianwu, so he was speaking out intentionally or unintentionally to cooperate with him and distract Xu Tianwu in front of him.

Unfortunately, all of this is just flirting with a blind man, it is of no use at all!!
Gong Tianwu was unmoved. He attacked again like the wind, breaking both hands of Elder Teng. Then he said with a smile:

"Elder Teng of Zhushan Sect, nice to meet you. What did you say just now?"

Elder Teng then realized that the other party had already recognized his identity.

But this is normal. Anyone who can take out seven flying swords at once to kill people during the Foundation Establishment Period is either from the Huaying Sect - they are good at illusions, and six of the seven flying swords are illusions - or from the Zhushan Sect.

Zhushan has a special skill of refining bamboo into swords. There are many Qi Refining disciples who can use two swords to fight the enemy, let alone the elders in the Foundation Establishment Stage?
It's not surprising to throw out five or six flying swords at once to form a sword formation.

Of course, if the quantity is large, the quality will definitely not be much better. Otherwise, Gong Tianwu would not dare to use the Wild God Armor to carry it rashly, and even destroy a flying sword with his bare hands.

If it was Zhu Yin from Emei, even though he was at the Qi Refining Stage, if he was attacked by a flying sword, Gong Tianwu would have no trouble resisting and would have to take it head-on, otherwise, his fingers would definitely be lost.

At this time, Elder Teng from Zhushan was so painful that his face turned pale, with cold sweat all over his head and face. He didn't know whether it was because of the pain or the fear. He could only force a smile and shook his head repeatedly.

"No, no, nephew, don't take those jokes to heart."

Gong Tianwu then smiled and said:

"No, no, didn't you say I had a lot of fun playing with you? I happen to have some time today, so I can play with you more."

How could Elder Teng know that the slap in the face would come so quickly? While enduring the pain in his body, he smiled and said:

"I was just joking, Elder Xu, please don't take it seriously."

Gong Tianwu smiled sincerely and said:

"No, no, no, I really haven't had enough fun. Elder Teng, please play with me for a while longer."

Elder Teng smiled a smile that was uglier than crying and said:
"Xu, Fellow Daoist Xu, this time I was blinded by greed and shouldn't have provoked you. If you let me go this time, I will immediately stay away from you wherever you are in the future."

Gong Tianwu shook his head:

"Elder Teng, if you can win this time against me, you will definitely gain a lot of things, and it will most likely cost me my life."

"Now, I'll give you ten breaths. If you can't convince me within this time, then die."

In this situation, does Elder Teng have any choice? No! He actually has no choice.

So in the end, although the elder of Zhushan managed to survive, he left with almost nothing. Not only was his property completely drained away, but he also signed a large number of indentures to sell himself.

But even Elder Teng himself knew very well that his luck today was really good, because not everyone has the opportunity to escape unscathed when facing the grin of death.

Even if the cost of getting this opportunity is huge.

***
When Elder Teng was stepped on by Gong Tianwu, the guys watching nearby sighed with regret and turned away.

Their behavior patterns are actually very similar to those of hyenas. They like to look for hunting opportunities on bloody battlefields, and they don't mind rotten meat and smelly intestines.

Unfortunately, this battle ended with a complete victory for the new foundation-building master of Daxueshan, so they had no choice but to leave, sell the detailed intelligence of the battle, and then squeeze out the last bit of profit.

At this time, Gong Tianwu looked at Zi Chengzi and said:
"I think now the real person won't doubt my intentions, right?"

Zi Chengzi had also recovered 30% of his strength at this time. He was silent for a while and said in a hoarse voice:

"I never expected it, I never expected it, we were indeed blind back then and missed out on such a genius like you!"

"Okay, what do you want?"

Gong Tianwu said slowly:
"I have seen before that Master Zi Yuzi possesses a very magical sound wave skill that can confuse people's minds and make them indulge in it unconsciously."

"Later, Senior Sister Zhu Yan, a disciple of your sect, used this skill to confuse my two junior brothers in succession, defeating them without fighting."

"If you are willing to teach me this secret, I will guarantee your safety for three days. If you are not willing, I will turn around and leave. All I did before was to repay you for your kindness in bringing me into the Dao."

Zi Chengzi still felt that Gong Tianwu's words were quite credible at this time, and couldn't help but sighed and said:

"In this world, you really can't tell a person's true nature until you are at the end of your rope." "The disciple who has received the most favor from me is the first one to stand up against me. The one who can save me from the predicament is you, a little boy who only received a little favor from me!"

Gong Tianwu smiled slightly:
"Things in this world are unpredictable. If I'm in trouble someday, I might even ask for help from the real person."

Zi Chengzi smiled bitterly and shook his head, then took out a jade slip and gave it to him:

"The technique you want is a fragment, but it was passed down to the master from a real person in Emei. It is called Gong Xin Jue, and it requires a certain talent in music theory to practice."

Then he added:
"The contents of this jade slip are incomplete. You must follow these sixteen words to successfully practice. Otherwise, you will be like a headless fly, unable to enter the door. Remember this."

Then Zi Chengzi wrote a line on the ground:

"Angry voices become slower, happy voices become faster, sad voices become faster, and happy voices become sharper."

Gong Tianwu nodded slightly and said:

"Okay, thank you, Master."

At this point, the fragment that Gong Tianwu had been longing for was finally in his hands.

As soon as he took it and looked at it, he knew it must be the real thing, because after running it according to the records in the mental method, he immediately felt that this thing produced a subtle resonance with the True Feather Heart Sutra that he had been practicing!

Not only that, after Gong Tianwu took a closer look, he found that only about one-third of the Gong Xin Jue was the original Tian Gong Xin Jue, and the remaining two-thirds were restored by other people.

Apart from anything else, the person who could repair this mental method can be said to be extremely talented.

The difficulty of doing this is equivalent to someone picking up a drone on the street, but only one-third of the wreckage remains.

The person who picked it up thought of a way and actually used the wreckage as the core to repair the drone. Although the repair was sloppy and it didn't look very good, at least it could make it fly again!

This is pretty awesome, okay?

***
After getting the fragment, Gong Tianwu protected Zi Chengzi for another three days, making sure that he had recovered his fighting ability, and then returned to the mountain gate.

After his return this time, the news of his complete victory over Zhushan Elder Teng Ming had spread.

You know, Teng Ming has been famous for nearly a hundred years, and he is also a powerful figure in the Zhushan Sect. However, he was captured alive by Gong Tianwu, his limbs were crippled, and he was beaten into a human stick. This is several times more difficult than killing him.

This is enough to show that Gong Tianwu's strength is far above his. In this case, it is obvious that Gong Tianwu has become the hottest star in the Great Snow Mountain, and his say must be much more important.

Next, Gong Tianwu plunged into intensive training again, but he was no longer isolated from the world for several months. Instead, he would learn about the situation in the outside world every three days.

And the place where he was in seclusion was not in the Great Snow Mountain, but in a shop in Hulu Valley.

At this time, as Gong Tianwu's strength grew rapidly, at least one-fifth of the land in Hulu Valley was quietly occupied by him, so he could find peace and quiet here and continue his practice.

After every battle, regardless of victory or defeat, Gong Tianwu would take some free time to review the game, analyze the reasons for victory/defeat, and think about what he could have done better.

But after this time, Gong Tianwu found that he couldn't calm down for a long time.

The one that flashed before his eyes was not Suan Chi, Emei Zhu Yin and others, but actually the mortal world!

What Gong Tianwu could not forget from beginning to end were the sad and desperate faces of the disaster victims, and the dry and desolate land that he looked down from above! !
After shaking his head, Gong Tianwu cut off these distracting thoughts and continued to practice the incomplete Tiangong Heart Sutra.

To be honest, this thing is quite difficult to understand. When Gong Tianwu first tried to practice it, he immediately found it difficult and obscure, and very difficult to understand. After all, it is both a fragment and an extremely profound one.

More importantly, although this body is an absolute genius in spiritual practice, it has not been able to cross over into music and has mediocre talent.

In fact, this is understandable, just like you can't expect Einstein to be 80% of Pavarotti's level in tenor.

However, after many days of hard work, Gong Tianwu was lucky enough to understand the first sentence of the Tiangong Heart Sutra, and he suddenly felt like he had been enlightened.

I tried it immediately and found that this thing really complemented the True Feather Heart Technique, directly increasing the power of the True Feather Heart Technique by about 10%.

Overjoyed, Gong Tianwu immediately came out of seclusion and asked his servants to bring some hot water and food.

Soon, the door outside was pushed open without any knocks, but Gong Tianwu had no reaction, because from beginning to end, the only one who could and dared to do this was the seventh sister.

Sure enough, she walked in quickly, stopped ten meters away from the meditation room, and said softly:
"Are you free, my dear?"

If Gong Tianwu didn't reply, she would leave directly.

However, Gong Tianwu was quite happy and free today, so he said:

"Yes, what is it?"

Seventh sister said:
"Wu Xiong and the others want to see you for something."

Gong Tianwu said:

"They're coming?"

Seventh sister said:
"My dear, didn't you say this before? Doing large-scale business with the demon tribe can be a big deal or a small deal. It's always bad if it's seen by someone with ulterior motives. It's something you can do but you can't talk about it openly."

"So it's best to keep a low profile and not let others catch us. That's why we always agree to trade at the Kekang Wharf, thirty miles to the west, every time we deliver goods. Wu Xiong and the others are waiting there now."

Gong Tianwu said:

"Okay, let's go over there."

***
About half an hour later, Gong Tianwu arrived at Kekang Wharf, and then he was stunned. It turned out that there were several gorgeous and strange ships docked on the river bank near Kekang Wharf.

These ships are typical tower ships, but their surfaces are coated with a layer of gold powder, the columns are silver, and the masts and cables are tied with colorful ribbons, making them look extremely bright and eye-catching.

When Gong Tianwu got closer, he found that it was not a ribbon at all, but something similar to the prayer flags of Tibetan Buddhism. However, a closer look revealed some differences:

Prayer flags are made of blue, white, red, green and yellow squares of cloth printed with Buddha's teachings and bird and animal patterns, sewn one after another on a long rope.
At the same time, the patterns on the four corners of the square cloth are four kinds of ferocious beasts: roc, dragon, lion and tiger, and in the center is a picture of a horse carrying treasure.

The ship is covered with a triangular cloth. On the front of the cloth is a bearded sun crying, and on the back is a pigtailed moon laughing. There are only three colors: blue, red, and yellow.

When the Seventh Sister saw Gong Tianwu examining this thing, she whispered to him:

"I have investigated this thing before. It is called the Wind Flag, also known as Longda. The three colors represent heaven, earth, and man."

"The blue represents the sky, the red represents the blood flowing from people, and the earth is khaki."
