Distant Mountain Battle Song

Chapter 251 Damn it, Huo Qubing isn't dead!
A tiny spark darted into the wrist guard with the speed of a meteor, and once inside, it became completely silent; even Yun Ce couldn't sense its presence.

Since the folk performance was so frightened, Yun Ce naturally wouldn't hold back. He didn't care about revealing his figure, so he jumped onto a house and then jumped rapidly from the house. Just as he was about to jump onto the city wall of the city lord's mansion, a huge palm made of raging fire slammed down on him.

Feeling the terrifying pressure emanating from the palm, Yun Ce cried out in despair and transformed his left arm into a dragon claw. With no way to avoid it, he straightened his left arm to meet the descending palm.

The dragon claw pierced through the palm, but not completely. Yun Ce was like a mosquito biting someone's palm, swatted down from mid-air and crashing heavily to the ground.

Just as his body hit the ground, Yun Ce tried to struggle and barely managed to move his body to the softer ground next to him, where there was a huge stone sculpture.

It's unclear whether the laws of physics will have any effect on this giant hand made of pure energy, but in any case, this is the only thing Yun Ce can do at the moment.

"boom"

The earth trembled violently, and the side hall affected by the giant hand not only collapsed with a crash, but the beams and pillars were also reduced to ashes in an instant.

The stone sculpture that Yun Ce relied on was also reduced to dust by the giant hand. With no other options, Yun Ce used all his inner energy to protect his internal organs. With his dragon arm pointing downwards, he stood upside down. He no longer expected to be able to return unscathed today.

"Don't go out, take me with you."

Yun Ce hurriedly gave the dog some instructions, and then the huge hand slammed down on his foot. The force hit his foot, and Yun Ce felt as if he had no feet left. The force traveled to his legs, and Yun Ce felt as if he had lost his legs. Then came his buttocks, waist, chest, and abdomen...

...Everyone enjoys hammering nails, watching the nail penetrate wood, sheet metal, and everything a nail can penetrate, until it is completely driven in. This gives them a great sense of satisfaction.

Has anyone considered how the nail feels?
It's highly likely that they hadn't thought of it.

Yun Ce could empathize with nails. Today, he was a human-shaped nail, being relentlessly pounded by a giant hand made of flames until the entire human-shaped nail was smashed away.

After the fiery palm slapped Yun Ce out of sight, it suddenly retracted into the Dragon God Temple and merged with the Taizhou Shehuo. The Taizhou Shehuo, who had just smashed Yun Ce into the fire pit, seemed very satisfied. After returning to the fire pit, they slowly continued to wander around it. The Taoist priests, who were originally very angry, were no longer angry. They sat around the fire pit and continued to chant scriptures, seemingly comforting the injured Shehuo.

The twelve warriors who were guarding the Dragon God Temple not long ago are now surrounding a palm-shaped pit. The pit, which is more than ten feet deep, is still smoking, and there is nothing at the bottom.

The samurai thought this result was normal; after being thoroughly beaten by the Shehuo, it was no problem for the items to be burned to ashes.

They didn't linger in the deep pit. Instead, they returned to the Dragon God Temple and settled down on the futons in the courtyard, waiting for the snow, which had become gentler, to fall a little longer, so that they would once again become snow sculptures.

A gleaming silver metal tentacle carefully lifted a patch of tightly packed earth. The tentacle slowly and carefully extended, looking around. Soon, seven more tentacles emerged from the ground. With all eight tentacles working together, they pulled a humanoid object out of the ground. The tentacles wrapped around the humanoid object, making it look as if the object had grown eight legs.

One tentacle reached out first, wrapping around a flowering tree that hadn't been affected. With the help of its other seven legs, it left the deep pit and climbed up the city wall step by step before a large group of people arrived, before finally vaulting down the wall.

After thinking for a moment at the foot of the city wall, the dog quickly and laboriously moved its legs toward the inn.

If it weren't for the slight fluctuation in Yun Ce's mind and the occasional skip in his heartbeat, Gouzi would never have been willing to use so many resources to save him.

Yun Ce's internal energy stored up over the past six months, as well as the Peng Zeng brand rapid growth fluid that Zhang Min obtained from Panxing Tower, would never be used on a dead person, because doing so would be illogical.

Yun Ce's only intact body was his left arm, and it was only thanks to that left arm that he was able to break through the three layers of stone foundation and survive.

In order to wake up Yun Ce as soon as possible, Gouzi even released the suppression of the dragon arm, allowing the dragon's power to join in the treatment of this broken body.

As a result, the dragon arm did not react at all. The dragon arm, which used to need the dog to monitor and suppress, now had no interest in possessing Yun Ce's body. No matter how the dog urged it, it just wandered around Yun Ce's left arm. Not only that, it even stole some of the internal energy that the dog had instilled into Yun Ce's body from time to time.

The injury was extremely serious...

The dog emerged from the Dragon Ball holding the Shehuo (a traditional folk performance), intending to place it on Yun Ce's chest. However, as soon as the Shehuo appeared, it shrunk back into the Dragon Ball in a flash.

Watching the seven tentacles busily repairing the body, the dog felt for the first time that its own power was far too limited.

What's yours is yours; you can't take it.

Liu Changsheng's voice echoed deep within Yun Ce's mind.

"So you're saying I'm the only one who can't take it, but everyone else can, right?"

"What they are seizing is merely the appearance of the world; what you are seizing is the essence of the world."

"Is Shehuo the origin of this world?"

"It's not just Shehuo (a traditional folk performance), but also dragons, and some things whose origins I don't even know. The last person who wanted to touch the origin of the world was Huo Qubing."

Even with his strength, he failed. Do you think you can surpass him?

"Huo Qubing? He failed? He failed?" "Yes, otherwise he wouldn't have been sent to the Huo King's Tomb, where the Dragon-Slaying Stone was placed, and he would never be able to come out again."

"Huh? Huo Qubing isn't dead?"

"Heh, if he were dead, how could Yuheng get pregnant?"

"He personally served Yuheng?"

"Hehehe, getting a woman pregnant doesn't necessarily require physical intimacy..."

Although Liu Changsheng did not make his point very clear, Yun Ce immediately thought of a famous case on Earth.

A heavily convicted female prisoner, about to be executed, became pregnant. According to the laws of the ancestral land, pregnant female prisoners are not subject to the death penalty, and she can live.

A DNA comparison of all the guards who had contact with the female prisoner revealed that they were not related to her; the child actually belonged to the female prisoner's boyfriend outside the prison.

The government officials questioned her boyfriend.

The boyfriend replied: It's because of our deep affection!
Humans are not plants that can spread seeds with the help of wind or other mediums, nor are they hermaphroditic plants that can self-pollinate, nor are they earthworms that can reproduce on their own.

Deep affection cannot lead to pregnancy, no matter how moving their feelings are. In the end, after a thorough investigation, it was discovered that one of the guards had been bribed and provided the person with certain medical treatments.

The thought that Huo Qubing, who was imprisoned, actually wanted to escape in this way made Yun Ce want to laugh. However, as soon as he started to laugh, he felt as if he had been thrown into the huge millstone of Yun Clan Manor, being finely crushed and kneaded by the two millstones.

Then he remembered the scene of being slammed into the ground by a giant fiery hand not long ago.

At that moment, his body was extremely sensitive; he not only felt pain, but also a disgusting tongue licking his hand.

Yun Ce could bear the pain, but he simply couldn't stand being treated so lewdly, so he forced himself to open his eyes.

Fortunately, the horse licking the back of his hand was a chestnut horse, which was alright and not disgusting.

"Doggy, are you there?"

"I'm here. From now on, call me Poor Dog. I have nothing left."

"Well, it doesn't matter. We'll just steal them anyway, and we'll steal even more in the future."

"You're not going to say something like, 'What doesn't kill you will only make you stronger,' are you?"

"That's one way to put it."

"Let me tell you, your body is just a rag doll right now, barely sewn together by me with needle and thread. If someone kicks you a few times, I won't be able to sew you up anymore."

"It was the Shehuo from Yongzhou who made the move. They ganged up on us. If it weren't for Liu Changsheng's intervention, we would have been wiped out by the combined forces of 499 Shehuo."

"Why? You stole Shehuo from Izumo Prefecture, and other Shehuo performers weren't this angry."

“In the past, we would just steal them and put them in another place for worship. This time it’s different. We’re trying to devour other folk performances, which has angered the public.”

"No wonder Shehuo was so scared that he hid inside the Dragon Ball and refused to come out, and even refused to help you."

"What's the point of it coming out? If it does, it will only attract a bunch of folk performers to gang up on us, bringing us even greater disaster."

"Hmm, you're quite open-minded. However, I've calculated it. You just killed the eldest son of the Taizhou City Lord two days ago. He tolerated you for two days to investigate your identity. He probably already knows that you are the Prince of Changsha. At the latest, he will definitely come to cause you trouble tomorrow."

"It's alright, I'm waiting for him to come. I'll see what kind of person the Prince of Changsha really is."

"Perhaps the title of Prince of Changsha can save you from death, but it cannot save you from humiliation."

"Then we'll see if that old codger Liu Changsheng will actually consider me his successor."

Yun Ce survived, and the dragon arm became interested in his body again. Yun Ce could feel a tiny fire snake moving around in his blood vessels. Wherever the fire snake went, the pain there would dissipate by more than half, and there would even be a slight burning sensation, making the blood in his blood vessels flow faster.

The dog was about to intervene, but Yun Ce refused, because he saw a tiny spark burning on his right fingertip, flickering and looking extremely sinister.
