Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 185: Beneath the Black Steel City
Half a cup of tea later, Xu Yunfan looked at Chen Heng's corpse on the ground, and shook his wrist lightly to wipe away the blood on the Thunder Fire Qilin Hammer.

Hearing the tiger's roar, Xu Yunfan no longer hesitated and rushed to Tiangong City with the bronze cage.

There are always 360 incandescent fire arrow crossbows guarding the gate of Tiangong City, and there are more than a dozen newly installed mechanical beasts of the Mechanical Hall on the city wall. They should be able to provide some resistance, enough time for the leader Hong Baichuan to take action.

This tiger demon may have been a character in the past, but in this era, he can be teased a few times, let alone a marrow cleansing master.

Xu Yunfan sped along, and with every step he took, the ground and rocks flew out like a sharp arrow shot from a bowstring weighing a hundred stones.

He tilted his head slightly and glanced behind him. The three-meter-tall demon tiger was like a tiger descending from the mountain. The trees were broken wherever it passed, and its momentum was earth-shaking and terrifying.

The two are one in front and one behind.

The thirty-li long and rugged mountain road in Shu was like walking on flat ground, and in a blink of an eye we arrived outside Tiangong City.

Without any hesitation, Xu Yunfan pulled the whistle arrow on his right waist towards the sky.

"Whoosh!"

The sharp sound of the whistle arrow breaking through the air spread throughout the entire Tiangong City in an instant.

Qi Huan, who was on duty on the city wall today, heard the sound and looked in the direction of the whistle arrow, and saw Xu Yunfan running towards him from a distance.

Qi Huan clasped the battlements of the city wall with his five fingers. The morning dew condensed in the cracks between the blue bricks soaked through his wristbands and even formed a little frost on them. If someone touched his body at this time, they would feel that it was icy.

His eyes moved slightly, and a barely perceptible twisted black line flashed in his eyes.

"Brother Qi, look at that thing behind Brother Xu!"

Qi Huan pretended not to hear and stared at the familiar figure in the smoke and dust.

The bronze cage on Xu Yunfan's back glowed with a strange green light in the morning sun. Every step he took left a deep pit several inches deep on the rammed earth official road, but most of his attention was focused on the cage wrapped in Xu Yunfan's clothes.

The thing inside made him extremely agitated, and he almost couldn't suppress it, and some fine scales appeared on his cheeks.

"Senior Brother Qi! Look behind Senior Brother Xu!"

Qi Huan turned his gaze and saw a twisted black shadow flying close to the ground thirty feet behind Xu Yunfan.

The joints of the creature's limbs were bent like a spider, its disproportionate torso was wrapped in rotten tiger skin, and its exposed muscles were a corpse-blue color!
When he saw the appearance clearly, he couldn't help but frown.

"demon……"

click.

The battlements in Qi Huan's hands collapsed and broke into pieces.

He clearly saw the rotten flesh thrown off by the corpse tiger as it leaped. Wisps of black smoke rose from the dark red pieces of flesh as they fell to the ground, and the surrounding weeds withered and curled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

What was even more horrifying was that on the beast's forehead, where the "王" mark should have been, there was a fist-sized tumor protruding, and the surface was covered with earthworm-like blue veins.

"It's a demon!" The voice of the junior fellow beside him trembled. "The other day I heard from the porters of the Cao Gang that a large tomb in Shuzhou suddenly collapsed and a demon crawled out."

"Stretch your crossbow!"

The loud shout startled the crows perched on the wall, and the black steel wall of Tiangong City suddenly shook, and the hatch opened, revealing 360 blazing crossbows. At the same time, the sound of the turning mechanisms was like a swarm of locusts passing by.

Qi Huan pressed his junior brother's trembling shoulders with his backhand, but cold sweat was already oozing from his palms.

This was not fear, but when he saw the hideous-looking monster, saliva started to form in his mouth.

Some, I want to eat.

He tilted his head, suppressing the discomfort he felt. As the chief disciple of the Cangfeng Pavilion in Tiangong City, he had seen the Gu people in the poisonous miasma of southern Yunnan and the wolf bandits roaming the Western Regions, but he had never seen such a monster that defied the laws of nature.

The sound of flesh tearing could be clearly heard as the corpse tiger ran. It was clearly a corpse that should have decayed long ago, but at this moment it was more ferocious than a living thing.

The Yuanling is resurrected, and demons will rise...

"Load armor-piercing arrows!"

Qi Huan pulled off the bronze talisman from his waist and smashed it against the command post. The sound of metal and stone clashing startled the dazed crossbowmen, "Prepare the noose for the drawbridge below the city!"

He forced himself to stare at the demon that was getting closer and closer.

"Brother Qi, Brother Xu is almost at the moat!"

Xu Yunfan sped along the floating piles in the moat. The medicinal fragrance seeping from the cracks in the bronze cage left an invisible and intangible smoke behind him, making the demon tiger behind him even more frantic.

The gate cast from black steel of Tiangong City was slowly lowering, and three hundred and sixty seven-shot blazing crossbows were ejected from the city wall halfway, making the sound of mechanisms at the same time, and the fine steel arrow slots reflected the cold light of the cold moon.

The city gate in this direction is on the other side of Tiangong City, facing the Ghost Crying Abyss on the cliff. On weekdays, there are no merchants coming and going except the disciples of Tiangong Cave, so Xu Yunfan naturally chose to enter here.

"Play the strings!"

At Qi Huan's command, the sky full of flaming arrows formed a golden and red net.

The arrowhead was soaked in black oil refined by the Ministry of Heavenly Works, which would ignite when it encountered wind, wrapping the tiger demon in a ball of fire several feet long.

The beast's rotten tiger skin curled and peeled off in the flames, and finally broke out of the huge ball of fire. The fur disappeared, leaving only the muscle fibers that continued to stretch and expand with the movement.

Before the smoke cleared, the harsh sound of metal rubbing against each other tore through the night sky.

The tiger demon's sharp claws dug into the cracks in the bricks of the city wall, leaving three-foot claw marks on the vertical wall.

Xu Yunfan rushed into the secret door of the Xuangang city wall that was opened in time. His pupils shrank slightly. He never expected that the Fiery Crossbow would only burn the opponent's fur and then have no effect.

"Open the Earth Dragon Gate!"

Hong Baichuan's roar came from inside the city.

At this moment, Mo Shisan was also thrown down from a high altitude by a disciple of the Giant Kite Team. When he looked at the demon tiger that was about to climb to the top of the city wall, he shuddered suddenly and immediately operated the control console next to the battlement in a hurry.

In an instant, seven mechanical beasts over two meters tall broke out of the ground. The gears on the chest of the black jade tiger-shaped beasts were spinning rapidly. The "king" pattern on the forehead suddenly cracked, and thirty-six black gold bone-piercing nails burst out.

The leopard-shaped beast's steel tail swept left and right, and the bowl-thick chain with barbs blocked the tiger demon's retreat.

When Xu Yunfan jumped onto the battlement, he saw the tiger demon's lower jaw strangely dislocated.

This demon actually bent its waist in a way that no living creature could do. Its iron-boned tiger claws gripped the top of the black jade tiger-shaped beast's head, and its sharp tiger fingertips precisely pierced into the drive gear.

With a teeth-grinding sound of metal twisting, the mechanical beast weighing a thousand pounds fell to its knees.

Xu Yunfan was a little surprised: "Brother Mo, have you only been modifying these scrap metals these days?"

Mo Shisan's face flushed immediately, and he jumped up and said, "These are all old models. They haven't been replaced yet. I haven't even had time to take out the humanoid mechanical armor I modified. Who knew you would actually provoke a demon to come in? You..."

"Brother Mo, please don't call me a jinx. I can defeat this demonic tiger."

"If I can beat you, lead me here!"

"I'm afraid of the pain. Besides, there are countless mechanisms in Tiangong City, and I know as much as you do! Naturally, I know that this is a good way to save energy. I can just hand it over to the civil engineers in the Tiangong Department to recast it later."

(There should be another chapter later...right?)
