Slaying Gods: Ancestral Witch Agent, Starting with the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique

Chapter 177 You're a tough nut to crack!

Shen Qingzhu landed and raised an eyebrow as she looked at the large crater in the ground created by the Fierce Dragon Halberd.

"You scattered him, leaving not even ashes?"

Gu Tianchen's lips twitched slightly. "They ran away."

He should have kept his Netherworld Eyes activated and been watching King Gou the whole time; he was careless...

Suddenly, Gu Tianchen's eyes lit up, and the black totem on his wrist kept flashing.

"Hey bro, come with me! This kid can run away, but he can't escape!"

Shen Qingzhu frowned. What kind of words are these?

The alley behind the building.

Lu Liang knocked the two black zombies away, straightened his clothes, and looked puzzled.

"Aren't zombies supposed to be mindless? How come they've been mentally corrupted and jumped out of their coffins to attack people?"

hum!

The next second, Lü Liang felt as if all the air around him had been sucked out, and he was plunged into a strong sense of suffocation.

Lu Liang clutched his throat, his face turning purple, and lay on the ground, stretching out one hand as if he were a drowning man desperately grasping at the last straw.

Unfortunately, he didn't manage to catch anything.

Not far away, Shen Qingzhu calmly took out a cigarette, lit it, and then handed the cigarette pack to Gu Tianchen, asking, "Want a Huazi?"

Gu Tianchen took one and lit it for himself with a thumbs-up.

After finishing his cigarette, Shen Qingzhu said, "A normal person can only survive for three minutes at most in an oxygen-free environment. It takes about six minutes to smoke a cigarette. Even if he is from the Sea Realm, he should be dead by now."

Gu Tianchen exhaled a smoke ring and said slowly, "Don't rush, let the smoke ring fly for a while longer."

About ten minutes later, Shen Qingzhu slowly approached Gou Wang Lü Liang, who was lying motionless on the ground, holding a straight knife. It seemed that he had completely suffocated.

"Just to be on the safe side, let's finish with a final blow."

Shen Qingzhu gripped the straight knife tightly and stabbed it towards Lü Liang's heart.

Unexpectedly, Lu Liang, who was lying on the ground, suddenly pulled out a black longsword from his body, parried Shen Qingzhu's attack, and slashed at his opponent with lightning speed!

Shen Qingzhu hurriedly conjured a wall of energy around himself, but in his haste, he only managed to deflect the opponent's blade that was aimed at him slightly, and the black longsword still managed to slash his arm.

Seeing Gu Tianchen chasing after him with the Fierce Dragon Halberd, Gou Wang immediately abandoned his chance to attack Shen Qingzhu and turned to run away.

He wouldn't risk his life to kill a low-bounty, extremely dangerous enemy.

Gu Tianchen casually struck Shen Qingzhu with a wave of his hand, then flew on the wind to chase after Lü Liang.

Watching the two figures gradually disappear into the distance, Shen Qingzhu was utterly baffled. How could this guy possibly survive for ten minutes in a vacuum?!

Lu Liang's breathing became increasingly erratic, and his speed gradually slowed down. He was soon caught up by Gu Tianchen.

"hu~hu~"

Lu Liang, panting heavily, pointed at Gu Tianchen and said, "If it weren't for... me just using the Turtle Breathing Technique... disrupting my breathing rhythm, even if you flew on the wind... you still wouldn't be able to catch up with me."

Gu Tianchen raised an eyebrow. "The Great Method of Returning to the West? Is it a method to send oneself to the Western Paradise?"

While adjusting his breathing, Lü Liang said, "Bullshit, this is a special technique I learned from a master of the Ancient God Church. It allows me to enter a state of tortoise breathing and maintain it for ten minutes."

"I relied on this trick to climb up to my current position and survive countless life-or-death situations. If that kid hadn't insisted on finishing me off, I could have avoided this calamity by just crawling around!"

Gu Tianchen raised an eyebrow. "Didn't anyone think of finishing him off before?"

"Of course there were, but they were all taken down by my sneak attack just now. That kid reacted quickly enough to escape."

"More importantly, your presence behind me with your halberd somewhat affected my mindset," Lü Liang said through gritted teeth.

Gu Tianchen smiled slightly, "So I affected your performance? How about I apologize to you?"

Before he finished speaking, Gu Tianchen tilted his Fierce Dragon Halberd and thrust it toward Lü Liang.

Lu Liang's eyes turned cold, and he suddenly turned around to use his long sword to block the attack from behind by Gu Tianchen's true form. A golden light emanated from his body, blocking the explosion of the divine fire clone behind him.

Gu Tianchen was stunned. His tactic of attacking from the front and then stealthily attacking from the back had always worked, but he never expected that Gou Wang would catch it today.

Lu Liang instantly jumped away, creating distance between himself and Gu Tianchen, and slowly said, "Your shadow betrayed you. Even in the darkness, I am extremely sensitive to changes in light and shadow."

Gu Tianchen gripped the Fierce Dragon Halberd tightly, nodded, and said, "Tsk tsk, you're really hard to kill."

"With sandification, tortoise breathing, and that solid golden light defense from before, just how many ways do you have to save your life?"

Lu Liang looked at Gu Tianchen with a serious expression, "When you're out in the world, it's always good to have more skills. These are all techniques that I shamelessly begged from the big shots of the Ancient God Church. It's to save my life and not to be ashamed."

"To tell you the truth, the poison you secretly used earlier is useless against me. I still have at least two forbidden items on me that can resist mental attacks."

"Neither of us can kill the other right now, so why don't we each take a step back and pretend we never met? How about that?"

Gu Tianchen raised an eyebrow. "King Gou is indeed King Gou. He actually predicted my prediction. But you don't care about the life or death of the Snake Woman?"

Lü Liang laughed and said, "It's just a toy. If it's gone, we can just find another one. It's not worth risking your life. You can kill it if you want."

"Alright, alright, with you saying that, I'm relieved. You can die in peace now." Gu Tianchen's lips curled up slightly.

Lu Liang spread his hands and asked, "I have countermeasures for all your methods. What will you use to kill me?"

"Take her."

Gu Tianchen snapped his fingers, and Best, carrying the battered snake woman, descended silently from the rooftop with elegant cat-like steps.

"Heh, the Egyptian cat god? It's a pity his divine power is damaged. He's nothing to fear from this mere Chuanxian realm." Lü Liang was fearless.

"You've misunderstood. The 'she' I'm referring to is the snake woman," Gu Tianchen said earnestly.

"Hehe, she's my teammate, how could she possibly help you kill me?" Lü Liang shook his head.

“The cat girl has been here for a while, and the snake woman heard everything you just said.”

"So what if I hear it? Brothers are like limbs, women are like clothes. If you lose your clothes, you can just run around naked. It's better than losing your life." Lü Liang shrugged and said indifferently.

The snake woman's eyes grew increasingly venomous. "Lü Liang, I've always been sincere to you, but I never expected you to treat me like this. I curse you to die a horrible death!"

"Heh, curse me all you want, it won't hurt me."

"Not necessarily."

Gu Tianchen walked up to the snake woman, held the Fiery Dragon Halberd to her neck, and said, "It's impossible for you to live, but you can take him away with the most venomous curse before you die. I can help you."

The snake woman revealed a venomous smile as she stared at Lü Liang and said, enunciating each word clearly, "You filthy man, I will haunt you even as a ghost! I curse you to die riddled with holes and rotting away!"

Swish!

Gu Tianchen raised his knife and severed the snake woman's head. "Don't worry, I will fulfill the curse you cast before you died."

Black curse energy surged from the snake woman's corpse, gathering in Gu Tianchen's palm and transforming into countless strands that surged towards Lü Liang like venomous snakes.

Chapter 178 Retribution Came Too Quickly, Like a Tornado

Lu Liang looked at the snake woman's head on the ground, her eyes wide with resentment as she stared at him with contempt.

He didn't believe in any curses that could come true on the spot.

Murder and set fire to the gold belt, repair the bridge and repair the road without corpses.

If karma truly existed, there wouldn't be so many hypocritical millionaires in the world.

Take the Baili family as an example. Chairman Baili Xin is practically all-powerful in Guangzhou and Shenzhen. With the Night Watchman as his backing, he lives a very carefree life.

The Baili family is known as the Museum of Forbidden Items, but no one really investigates where they got those forbidden items; there are plenty of shady methods behind it all.

But he is still a high-ranking member of the Night's Watch, and even has his own private army. If there is such a thing as retribution, shouldn't it fall on someone like Baili Xin?

Haha, karma? Karma my ass!

"puff!"

Lu Liang was about to retreat when, after taking only a few steps, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood.

He tore open his collar in disbelief, revealing a body covered in dense, festering sores, like snake scales!

"How is this possible?! That damned woman's curse actually came true?!"

Gu Tianchen clicked his tongue and said, "Retribution comes too fast, like a tornado. I'm the kind of person who's very soft-hearted and can't stand seeing lovers end up fighting each other."

"Don't worry, considering we're old acquaintances, after you die, I will definitely bury you two together. No need to thank me, it's what I should do."

"you……!"

Lu Liang was covered in sores, oozing black pus and blood. Provoked by Gu Tianchen, he suffered a sudden attack of anger and died on the spot.

"puff!"

Lü Liang, bleeding from all seven orifices, lay in a pool of black blood, emitting a foul stench.

Best looked at Gu Tianchen seriously and asked, "Is this what you people in Great Xia often call shrimp and pork heart?"

"Wow, you've only been in Great Xia for a few days, how come you already have an accent? Don't hang out with that fat bastard anymore, he'll corrupt you." Gu Tianchen said seriously.

“Okay, shall we go back now?” Best asked.

Out of the corner of his eye, Gu Tianchen saw a wisp of Lü Liang's remnant soul hiding in the jade pendant he wore on his chest, which must be some kind of special method of resurrection.

As expected of King Gou, if I hadn't learned from my previous mistake and kept my Netherworld Eye open, this kid would probably have escaped again.

hum!

A blood moon flashed between Gu Tianchen's brows as he reached out and pulled Lü Liang's remnant soul from the jade pendant.

In mid-air, Lü Liang's illusory soul showed obvious signs of panic; if his soul were to dissipate, his life force would be completely extinguished.

"Young man, leave some room for maneuver, so you can meet again in the future. There's no need to be so ruthless."

"In this way, as long as you let me go, I will give you all my forbidden items and life-saving methods, and I can even become your underling and be at your beck and call."

"If you don't mind, I can even disregard worldly opinions and recognize you as my godfather. What do you think, sir?"

In mid-air, Lü Liang resembled a dog wagging its tail and begging for a last chance at survival.

The initial conditions sounded quite good, but when Lü Liang said he wanted to become Gu Tianchen's godfather, the latter's expression suddenly became playful.
