Shushan: Extinction

Chapter 183 I even deceived myself
Gong Tianwu was shocked:
"Wait, what are you going to do?"

Hua Manlou had already rushed forward at this time, and in the process, his body had already lowered and began to transform into a beast, a three-legged spotted dog.

Although this guy ran with a limp, his speed was extremely fast.

The direction that Hua Manlou was rushing towards seemed to be an uninhabited area. Yes, even in Gong Tianwu's eyes, there was nothing unusual about this place.

But what is Hua Manlou's true identity? A dog demon!
A dog's nose is famously sensitive, so if there is something that the naked eye cannot capture, the sense of smell may not be able to detect it.

Then Hua Manlou aimed at the void and bit down hard. This move seemed to be a random move, but after Hua Manlou, this mad dog, bit down hard, a strange and creepy hoarse howl came from the void.

Then, the figure of the goddess Ba holding the bottle slowly emerged from the shadows.

At the same time, the figure of Tiannv Ba, who was running madly in the distance, quickly faded and disappeared!

This guy is really amazing. Even when being hunted down, he was able to disguise himself and use illusions to deceive everyone, and he hid himself quietly.

However, although Tiannv Ba's illusion is unparalleled in the world, it can only deceive the vision. The problem is that Hua Manlou, this absolute mad dog, feeds by his nose.

After being bitten, Tiannuba began to twist in pain and resisted frantically, but a dog bite goes deep into the bone, not to mention that Hua Manlou bit her with the determination to die?

This caused Tiannv Ba even more pain. She struggled frantically on the ground and tried her best to resist.

After realizing that the real culprit had been caught, Gong Tianwu and several remaining elite demon clan members simultaneously emitted strange light from their eyes and pounced on the culprit.

They knew clearly in their hearts what the meaning of their survival was. Were they here to fight to the death with the people of Qingcheng Sect? Were they here to learn from the young city lord Kong Yi?

So many brothers and friends, like moths to a flame, have sacrificed their lives one after another, with the goal of killing Moba and ending this drought! !

Gong Tianwu noticed even more keenly at this time that even in such a situation, the goddess Ba still held the bottle tightly in her hand and refused to let go.

So he rushed forward quickly and made a sword gesture at the same time. The invisible sword lurking beside him also shot out instantly, with a flash of light, and attacked directly from top to bottom.

Seeing that the goddess Ba was about to die on the spot, a long sigh suddenly sounded out of nowhere, and it sounded exactly like the voice of the old Taoist Xu Chenzi.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely gentle force came from around Tiannvba, repelling all attacks directed at her, even Hua Manlou who had revealed his true form was no exception.

Then, a Taoist priest with a long beard was seen standing beside the goddess Ba. A unique light was shining in the palm of his hand, and a round pill-like object was slowly rotating.

This round pill-shaped object looked incredibly powerful, and the light it emitted formed a unique golden shield.

The diameter of this golden shield was more than five meters, and it was translucent in shape. It actually protected the two of them tightly, and the light it emitted was even so bright that it could not be despised!
The Taoist priest with a long beard was none other than Xu Chenzi. After all, he could not just sit back and watch the goddess Ba being killed, so he took action to save the latter.

But there are many things in this world that cannot be taken into account at the same time. If you want to gain something, you will lose something!!

Xu Chenzi divided his attention to protect the goddess Ba, but he himself still had to deal with the Green Corpse Rong Jian.

Then, about fifty meters away, a monk in a green robe appeared quietly.

This monk has a very ordinary face and no special temperament. If he were thrown among the common people, it can be said that he would hardly attract anyone's attention.

However, in the left hand of this green-robed monk was holding a seemingly ordinary oil lamp.

The light from the oil lamp only illuminated a distance of two or three meters in front. You could see a small translucent figure inside the lampshade. The figure looked to be frowning and in pain, and was sitting cross-legged, trying hard to resist.

And the appearance of this translucent figure is exactly the same as Xu Chenzi! !

However, the resistance of this translucent figure was obviously futile, and it was soon completely suppressed by the oil lamp.

The green-robed monk then said in a hoarse voice:
"You gave up your soul and spirit, and even burned the fake pill, just to protect this evil creature?"

As soon as the green-robed monk opened his mouth, Gong Tianwu recognized him. He was the Green Corpse Rong Jian from back then.

But Rong Jian had really undergone a drastic change compared to before!
Wherever Rong Jian went before, there would be a lingering chill and coldness like a tomb, and he would try to assimilate the surrounding environment into the appearance of a thousand-year-old tomb.

But now, as long as Rong Jian's identity is not revealed, he looks no different from an ordinary person. He can even be said to be an old scholar in the countryside or a storyteller in the market.

This can only mean one thing, that is, Rong Jian's cultivation has reached the point of perfection without any stagnation, and the corpse qi in his body has all been refined and tamed into his body.

What Rong Jian said shocked Gong Tianwu and the others:
Burn the fake pill!

Abandon one soul and one spirit!!

These two things can be said to be devastating blows to any monk.

If Rong Jian hadn’t revealed this, how could he have known that Xu Chenzi had paid such an astonishing price to protect this goddess Ba!!!
Suddenly, there was a flash of light nearby, and then the demon dog that Hua Manlou had transformed into let out a shrill wail, then curled up its body and flew out.

Qing Shi Rong also took three steps back. He could see a golden light on his chest, twisted like a snake, and twisting its body to drill inside.

In just two or three seconds, the golden light penetrated into Rong Jian's heart and formed a strange golden lock.

This is the rare treasure of Qingcheng: the Three Yang Soul Sealing Lock!
Seeing that he could no longer maintain his current form, Qing Shi Rong's whole body hunched over and turned into a hideous and ferocious zombie with fangs protruding from his lips, he was so thin that his bones were visible, and his eyes were as deep as black holes.

This scene immediately reminded Gong Tianwu of the first time he met Rong Jian. At that time, he had been imprisoned in the bottom of the dark prison for three whole years. He had not eaten a single bite of blood and was as hungry as he is now.

However, a figure also appeared in the darkness nearby. This figure was wearing a Taoist robe and was about to speak, but suddenly he covered his chest and started coughing violently. The cough was so heart-wrenching and extremely painful.

This person was none other than Xu Jingzi. He actually rushed over in just ten breaths after releasing the Jinyi Boshan Furnace, and then directly used the Sanyang Fengling Lock to launch a sneak attack. Even Qingshi Rong was not prepared to see such a strong man.

However, Hua Manlou seemed to have sensed something in advance, and rushed forward regardless of everything, blocking 40% of the power of the Sanyang Sealing Soul Lock, and then this thing hit Rong Jian.

It was also thanks to Hua Manlou that Rong Jian was able to seize this opportunity and launch the most fierce and brutal counterattack!
It can be seen that Xu Jingzi's expression is extremely distorted and painful. When he started coughing, what came out of his mouth was black blood!

But after coughing a few more times, in addition to vomiting black blood, sporadic strange insects began to fly out of his mouth.

These insects look like dung beetles without shells, with blood-colored patterns on their backs, forming a strange smiley face that looks particularly eerie and eerie, somewhat similar to a smiling spider. Looking closely, their surfaces are covered with fine scales that gleam in dim light, like the eyes of the underworld hidden in an ancient tomb.

This is the corpse bug!!

Moreover, it was Qing Shi Rong Jian who spent seven hundred years to refine the Netherworld Corpse Turtle using his own blood, flesh and bone marrow! !

Once this thing enters the body, it will immediately take root like a tick, begin to greedily transform and suck the enemy's flesh and blood, and produce a large number of offspring.

The higher the opponent's cultivation level, the more blood and flesh in his body can provide nutrients to the Netherworld Corpse Turtle.

It can be seen that some of the sub-bodies vomited out by Xu Jingzi began to fly around, hover, and attack the enemy, while others flew back to Qingshi Rongjian's body and fed the absorbed blood, flesh, and essence back to the host.

As the situation reached this point, the two giants of Qingcheng Mountain had never expected that this seemingly sure-win situation would end up in a lose-lose situation.

Witnessing this scene, Gong Tianwu also sighed, then endured the severe pain and limped to where Hua Manlou was knocked away.

At this time, Hua Manlou had already turned into the original body of the little flower dog. He was seriously injured, and his chest was even completely crushed. Blood seemed to be gushing out of his mouth like water, and his eyes were blurred and distracted.

Perhaps sensing that there was someone nearby, Hua Manlou gasped for air, trying to take his last breath with great effort, and then whispered vaguely:

"Who is it? Who is it?"

Gong Tianwu held his paw tightly and said:
"it's me."

Hua Manlou suddenly became energetic:
"Is it you? Is Master Rong okay? I smelled an indescribable strong malice at that time. I just hated myself for being too weak. I could only block it myself."

Gong Tianwu nodded:

"Master Rong is fine, and thanks to your sacrifice, we were able to severely injure the enemy! The one who launched the sneak attack was Xu Jingzi from the Qingcheng Sect. Now he is haunted by corpse-bugs, and he must be feeling very uncomfortable."

"That's good, that's good." Hua Manlou smiled with relief.

Suddenly, he couldn't help but shed tears:
"Master Xu, actually, actually I am afraid of death, selfish, and weak! Those actions of being righteous and smiling at life and death are all pretended by me. In fact, I am scared to death."

"I wanted to escape more than once, but I couldn't. I was forced to do this."

"I have been pretending for dozens and hundreds of years, so I can't make up my mind anymore. I have deceived others for decades and hundreds of years, and in the end, even I was deceived!"

Gong Tianwu had never expected that Hua Manlou would say such a heartfelt statement. He could not help but feel a little amused and felt as if this guy was really giving his last words. So he could only smile bitterly and said:

"Don't talk for now, and take care of yourself."

Hua Manlou burst into tears:
"No, no, I can feel it. I'm about to die. If I don't say it now, I'll never have the chance to say it again."

"Remember to tell Shiro not to learn from me. I tried so hard to save face that I ended up losing my life in the end."

Gong Tianwu comforted him:
"Don't worry, you won't die."

At this time, Hua Manlou hadn't spoken yet, but Xu Jingzi was already holding his chest and said bitterly:

"This dog demon was already badly injured, and was also hit by my Three Yang Soul Sealing Lock. Ahem, ahem."

"Ah! Ugh."

"His body has already collapsed and decayed. In a stick of incense at most, it will turn into ashes!"

"Still not dying? Hehehe!!"

Gong Tianwu raised his head at this time, looked at Xu Jingzi and said calmly:
"Oh, is it so?"

Then he took out a bottle from his arms. This bottle was very special. It seemed as if the stars in the sky were constantly shining on the bottle. It looked profound and mysterious.

"Do you still remember it? You said it yourself before. After taking this immortality pill, no matter how serious the injury is, it can make the Yuanzhen Qi in the chest endless and circulate endlessly."

At this moment, both Xu Chenzi and Xu Jingzi's faces suddenly became very interesting after seeing this star bottle.

After the two looked at each other, Xu Chenzi was the first to reveal a sarcastic smile:
"Yes! I told you so. The immortality pill does have such miraculous effects. If that's the case, just give it to him."

Gong Tianwu sneered:

"You think I'm reluctant?"

Then Gong Tianwu opened the bottle and his expression suddenly changed:

"Why can't it be opened?"

"Hahahaha!" Xu Chenzi laughed sarcastically: "Do you think you are worthy of owning such a divine object? This star bottle is..."

Then his laughter stopped abruptly, and his eyes almost popped out:
"This"

It turned out that the star bottle, which seemed indestructible in their eyes, was actually opened by Gong Tianwu with just a slight effort.

And it was not a trick, because the special fragrance of the Eternal Life Pill inside had already drifted away, lingering around the noses of people nearby, and even the Qingshi Rong in the distance were cheered up after seeing and smelling it.

Hua Manlou's eyes widened at this time, and he stretched his neck, his eyes were full of desire, with an expectant expression of "feed me quickly". If this guy's tail had not been broken, it would have been shaking all the way up.

Immediately afterwards, Gong Tianwu smiled at the two elders from Qingcheng in front of him and threw the pill into Hua Manlou's mouth.

It can be heard that when the elixir fell into Hua Manlou's mouth, it actually let out a shrill scream, and also screamed:
"Help!!!"
