Shushan: Extinction

Chapter 174 Catastrophe
The reason why this monster looks so slow is actually not because of its own will, but because it is too powerful and is not a creature of this world, so it is constantly repelled by the power of the plane.

This is like a person who has never been in the water before falling into the water. Even with the help of an oxygen mask, it will take some time for him to adapt to this unfamiliar environment and swim successfully in the water.

Kong Yi tricked so many demon soldiers and strong men into his mouth with the purpose of letting him devour them and provide them with sufficient nutrition.

Xue Mingchuan and the young city lord Kong Yi stood guarding silently by the side, letting time pass. Both of them were proud and arrogant people, and they looked down on each other, so they did not talk to each other.

During this period, some demon soldiers came to inquire, but Kong Yi found an excuse to seal them and sent them back.

About three or four hours later, the chain illusions around the Axun corpse demon had almost disappeared. A hideous smile appeared at the corner of the monster's mouth, and then it came out of its kneeling position.

It was already dark, with no stars or moon. After the corpse demon Axun stood up, he looked like a mountain in the darkness, but only his huge outline could be vaguely seen, and his details could not be seen clearly.

The corpse demon Axun identified the direction and strode towards the nearest Camp A.

As it strode forward, you could see the ground began to shake continuously. Rocks on the surrounding mountains slid down and collapsed, causing a large landslide and raising a huge cloud of dust and air.

Such a huge commotion certainly could not escape the eyes and ears of the demon army in the camp in the distance.

However, most of their core members had been tricked into the belly of the Axun corpse demon by the orders of the small city lord, so these demon armies fell into panic and had no leader.

At the same time, many caves appeared underground and on the mountain walls around the demon army. The secondary monsters inside quickly poured out and began to cooperate in attacking them.

The most terrifying thing was that a small number of people in the demon army suddenly fell into a violent state with red eyes and began to attack the surroundings indiscriminately! !

This was of course also arranged in advance by the small city lord. Poisonous drugs were mixed into the food and drinking water of these subordinates who trusted him the most, and the effects had already begun to take place.

With these three measures in place, Camp A could not muster any effective resistance and was in complete chaos.

When the Axun corpse demon approached, he casually bent down and stretched out his hand to grab. The giant palm came over like an overwhelming force, grabbing forty or fifty creatures, most of which were demon armies, and there were even a few secondary monsters.

Then the corpse demon Axun tilted his head back, opened his mouth wide, brought his giant palm to his mouth, and then let go, stuffing all the unlucky guys inside into his mouth.

After eating fresh blood, the Axun corpse demon became more excited and irritable. He threw his hands open and continued to hunt!
However, the brutality of this monster instead aroused the common hatred of the demon army below, and they began to fight back desperately. This counterattack was very effective and could actually cause effective damage to monsters like the Axun Corpse Demon.

After all, the power of the Axun corpse demon will still be rejected by the will of this plane.

After a while, the demon army from Camp C also came to help, and the two sides engaged in a tug-of-war for a while.

Seeing this scene, Xue Mingchuan said sarcastically:
"How pitiful! What Tian Nu Ba likes most is to manipulate people's hearts. She forces people into desperate situations, gives them hope, and then crushes that hope with her own hands. The large amount of negative emotions generated during this period is the favorite food of Tian Nu Ba."

"Resist quickly, the harder you resist the better! The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!!"

The battle lasted for quite a long time. The demon army below fought one after another and finally formed a death squad to fight with all their might.

The leading demon general even burned all his blood and energy and cut off one of the arms of the Axun corpse demon at all costs.

But at this time, the goddess Ba holding the bone staff sighed slightly, a disappointed expression appeared on her face, and she waved her hand lightly.

The seemingly exhausted Axun corpse demon suddenly became full of energy and let out a dull roar. Not only did the flesh and blood on the wound of the broken arm begin to wriggle, but a new arm grew out.

The broken arm split on the ground and turned into seven heavy corpse demons.

These seven monsters had deformed bone shields on their left arms, and their right arms turned into bone weapons such as bone forks, bone knives, etc. They began to kill the crowd indiscriminately with great ferocity. In an instant, blood flowed like a river, and corpses were everywhere.

It can be seen that after witnessing all this, the morale of the demon army that was still fighting dropped visibly. When another leading demon general was killed in battle, the morale of the remaining demon army collapsed directly and they began to flee separately.

At this time, we can see that the goddess Ba closed her eyes, with a slight look of enjoyment on her face, and it seems that she is really enjoying the pleasure of manipulating people's hearts.

The bone staff was also glowing rapidly, apparently absorbing a large amount of despair emanating from these dying people.

Witnessing all this, Xue Mingchuan, who was watching the battle from a distance, glanced at the little city lord next to him and suddenly laughed:

"Kong Yi, this is the family business that you and Bai Wen have spent hundreds of years to build. Look at these people. They have been loyal to you until their death. Are you feeling a little heartbroken now?"

Xue Mingchuan's words were truly heartbreaking. He always thought that monsters were inferior to humans, and this cooperation was only due to pressure from the leader. He had long disliked Kong Yi.

In his heart, the dust had settled at this time. The Kong Yi in front of him was already a stray dog ​​without any support, so he had to say a few words to make his thoughts clear.

Kong Yi glanced at Xue Mingchuan coldly and suddenly said:

"Eighty years ago, I adopted a dog that looked nice enough to guard my house. But not long after, I drove the dog to the countryside to eat shit. Can you guess why?"

Xue Mingchuan certainly wouldn't ask why, but Kong Yi glanced at him sideways, then asked and answered himself:

"Because the dog likes to bark too much and is too noisy."

In an instant, Xue Mingchuan felt a buzzing in his forehead, and blood rushed directly to the top of his head.

Don't underestimate him as the second most important person in Emei Villa in this world. He is in a high position and has great power. He is also Li Yingqiong's disciple.

But in fact, the scar deep in his heart is that he has been marginalized.

If he could really gain Li Yingqiong's favor, why would he need to live in the lower world? The affection and grudges from the previous life were actually consumed when he was accepted as a disciple in this life!
What hurts the most? The truth!

Kong Yi's unintentional retort made Xue Mingchuan dizzy and his eyes were full of stars, as if he had just been kicked in the crotch and then been roasted by fire for five minutes.

The fellow roared angrily, then put his fingers together like a sword and swung it hard at Kong Yi, but it looked plain and simple, like a child casually waving his fingers as a gun.

Just two seconds later, a huge golden sword suddenly appeared above Kong Yi's head, and then slashed down with great force.

This was Xue Mingchuan's full-strength attack, and it could be said that the killing intent was so strong that it was almost bursting out! !
What is even more unique is that the speed of this golden giant sword's slashing is not fast, it can even be described as slow, but as time goes by, its slashing speed begins to become faster and faster, showing an obvious acceleration.

Kong Yi's figure flashed and he was already a hundred meters away, but the golden sword did not lose its target. It changed direction in the air and continued to chase him at an accelerated speed, and was about to chop him hard.

But Kong Yi pointed his finger, and immediately a talisman that looked quite old appeared on his body.

There was a line of poetry written on this talisman:
Without asking for a long rope, I will take the genius of heaven, and my sword will roar in the west wind.

There is a signature mark at the bottom, which is clearly the word "Ren".

The calligraphy of this poem can be said to be average, but each character reveals a very rare sharpness. The horizontal, vertical and diagonal strokes are like a sharp sword that turns and cuts out, looking down on everything and showing its edge.

It can be said that this is not only calligraphy, but also contains extremely high-level swordsmanship.

As soon as this talisman came out, it began to float above Kong Yi's head, emitting bright light!
Xue Mingchuan's sword, which was determined to win, could not cut down after encountering this talisman. It just stopped in mid-air for a few seconds, then turned into a small golden sword and disappeared into Xue Mingchuan's sleeve.

After witnessing this scene, Xue Mingchuan's eyes were almost spitting fire, and his teeth were gritting. It can be said that he was jealous and hateful:

"The master's handwriting, you actually got the master's handwriting!!!"

Yes, this thing that looks like a talisman is actually the handwriting of Changmei Zhenren, the founder of the Emei School. It was left behind when he had not yet achieved enlightenment, so the word "Ren" is written on it.

Just because Changmei Zhenren’s secular name is “Renshou”.

This piece of handwriting is an early work left by Changmei, and it is enough to shock the Emei sword practitioners.

If it is the handwritten letter left behind by Changmei Zhenren in the years before he ascended to heaven, it will not be able to survive in this world for long. Once it appears, it will cause the water to break, the mountains to collapse, and the world to be turned upside down.

Kong Yi looked at Xue Mingchuan with disdain and said sarcastically:

"Do you think I'm stupid? Would you sell Mujiang City without sufficient benefits? More importantly, there are too many villains like you in Emei. How can I not be on guard against them?"

Xue Mingchuan's forehead was bulging with veins when he heard this, but Kong Yi possessed a rare treasure like the Changmei Handwriting. Unless the current head of Emei came, or used magical objects like the Purple and Green Swords, there was really no way they could do anything to him.

At this time Xue Mingchuan also felt that he had lost face, so without saying a word, he set up a light of escape and turned around to flash away.

After Xue Mingchuan left, Kong Yi's expression gradually became uglier.

Yes, there are many things that you only realize how precious they are after you lose them. Before, Kong Yi felt that his position as a small city lord was meaningless because he was always suppressed by two people.

More importantly, he felt that Dongxuzi was not fair at all. He always protected the city lord Bai Wen's faction and kept suppressing himself!
Don’t worry about poverty, worry about inequality!
Kong Yi maintained this mentality for many years, and the resentment in his heart accumulated for many years.

Finally, the decline of the great city lord served as the fuse, and it was completely ignited! !
However, now seeing the foundation of Mujiang City being eroded and destroyed bit by bit, Kong Yi's heart is of course filled with pain and regret.

From being the respected city lord who commands the respect of everyone, he has fallen to being a lonely sinner who is condemned by thousands of people and stands alone, and he also has to face the tremendous pressure from Dongxuzi from the upper realm.

Even though he has precious treasures and has obtained the skills and resources he has always dreamed of, he has become a stray dog ​​abandoned by his friends and relatives.

This huge gap would certainly make Kong Yi feel painful and regretful, but he was too shrewd to show it.

After all, in this cruel world, if you want to get something, you must pay for it. What’s even more frightening is that there are many people who pay huge amounts but gain very little, or even nothing!
Kong Yi was silent for a while, and was about to leave, but suddenly he was shocked because he heard an extremely shrill roar in his ears! !
The roar was deep and mighty, like the howl of a cow after its heart was pierced, and then the sound was amplified tens of millions of times.

Kong Yi turned around and saw that the roar came from the Axun corpse demon. This huge monster looked unwell and even in great pain.

It was also covering its throat, waving its long arms, staggering backwards, and then leaning heavily against a hill nearby.

The mountain couldn't bear the impact and shook a few times, then a landslide occurred nearby, with mud and rocks rolling down.

The Axun corpse demon was completely unaware and continued to roll around in pain after falling to the ground. He also kept vomiting large amounts of crimson liquid from his mouth. It looked like the situation was quite bad.

Kong Yi was extremely shocked. He knew the ability of this Axun corpse demon. The magical power it possessed was very abnormal, called swallowing the sky and eating the earth.

Its internal organs have been refined into a terrifying magic weapon similar to the Avici Hell!
After entering through its mouth, the people and food that actually enter will be corroded by endless demonic energy, gradually lose their minds, and then be besieged and killed by endless secondary monsters.

Why does it seem like something has gone wrong with this seemingly foolproof link?

***
The reason for all this has nothing to do with Gong Tianwu.

Because at this time, Gong Tianwu and Shen Ban were resisting the attacks of a large number of strange insects!
It turned out that the three of them followed the traces of battle on the wall. After walking about four or five hundred meters, Shen Ban relied on his sensitive sense of smell to sense the smell of blood ahead.

So the three of them hurried over, only to find that the number of demon insects intercepted along the way began to increase, and the frequency of interception was also becoming more frequent.
