Chapter 233: Another Incident, Breakthrough of the Heavenly Trick

Deep inside the Demon-Suppressing Tower, in a cell where no sunlight can be seen.

Tick ​​tock!

A drop of cold water fell down the chain, making a sound.

Zhou Hu, who was drowsy and in a coma, shuddered and woke up suddenly. He squinted his eyes and looked outside the railing. Seeing that there was no one in the corridor and the door was still locked, Zhou Hu sighed slightly and relaxed his tense muscles.

Just such a tiny movement caused a tingling pain in the muscles, making Zhou Hu grimace in pain.

"These bastards have absolutely no humanity at all." Looking at the flame swaying back and forth on the candlestick, Zhou Hu couldn't help but groan.

Looking back on the time I was detained, it was like hell.

I have three big fights every day, morning, noon and evening, not once at a time.

There were also five minor beatings in between, each of which broke several bones and cut several muscles in the body.

And those guys, just beat him up, without asking anything. Even if Zhou Hu wanted to reveal some information and beg for mercy, it was completely useless. In just a few days, Zhou Hu was almost unrecognizable. Moreover, he and his companion Ding Meng were imprisoned separately, and he didn't know how the other party was doing now.

"I hope he is still alive." Zhou Hu thought.

He stared blankly at the flickering candle outside the door, feeling the stinging pain coming from his body, and said, "Perhaps death will be the earliest relief."

After all, people in their line of work are prepared to end up like this.

boom!
Heavy footsteps sounded from the corridor outside.

A burly figure blocked the firelight and cast a shadow. Zhou Hu subconsciously thought he was going to be beaten again, so he curled up into a ball and hid in the darkness in a corner with a terrified look on his face.

Immediately afterwards——

"Crench!"

The door was pushed open from the outside and the chain was thrown casually on the ground.

An expressionless, rough face was shrouded in shadows. The man said in a deep voice, "The master wants to see you. You'd better organize your words and think about how to answer the master's questions."

A huge hand stretched forward out of nowhere.

The giant in the shadow didn't even take the key, he just pinched the chain lightly with his fingers.

The chain made of pure iron broke like rotten wood in the giant's hand. The iron chain, which was as thick as a child's arm, was held in the dragon guard's hand at one end, while the other end was tied around Zhou Hu's scarred and bleeding neck.

that's it……

Zhou Hu was led away from the cage by the Dragon Guards like a stray dog.

The long-lost sunlight poured in through the window, and Zhou Hu's eyes were pierced with tears, and his eyes were blurry, and his body was trembling slightly. He saw that in another deep and dark corridor, Ding Meng was also dragged on the ground like him, crawling out.

The two looked at each other, speechless.

Then look away at the same time.

The dragon guard led him to a wide staircase.

While looking up, I was thinking about the other party's possible questions and how to answer them.

"If I answer satisfactorily, will he let me go?" Zhou Hu raised his head, curled up his body, and asked cautiously. The young dragon guard holding his hand seemed to have heard a joke, with the corners of his mouth raised upwards, and he almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

"You feel that you are miserable now. The torture you have endured makes you want to die." The young dragon guard said calmly.

"Yes, sir." Zhou Hu nodded and said sincerely.

"If you had seen Lord Dusi's methods..." The young dragon guard gave Zhou Hu a meaningful look, "you would understand what real hell is."

The expression on Long Wei's face was non-threatening.

But the moment the two looked at each other, Zhou Hu felt a chill running up his spine to the top of his head.

If he hadn't reacted quickly and tightened his anus, he would have been frightened to incontinence by this look.

Zhou Hu didn't dare to ask any more questions and walked forward with his head down.

Every dragon guard is incredibly burly, with the shortest one being over three meters tall.

Their normal walking speed was much faster than that of ordinary people running, not to mention that Zhou Hu was crawling on all fours. Although he had a certain level of cultivation, it was quite good that Zhou Hu could still move after being beaten for several consecutive days.

It was obvious that Long Wei could not care about Zhou Hu's injuries.

They are more like tools than people, molded into inhuman appearances, and loyally carry out the orders given to them by their masters.

As he walked, Zhou Hu was almost dragged forward by the chain by the neck, blood oozed out, first falling and then being wiped clean by his body.

He felt like a wild dog, and Zhou Hu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Fortunately, this journey is not too long...

He would rather the journey was longer. Compared to the pain, the fear of facing the unknown made Zhou Hu tremble in his heart.

The dragon guard stopped in front of an iron-black door with skulls and strange patterns carved on it.

There are also dragon guards guarding the gate.

His hair was white, but his figure was more robust and his expression was solemn.

Zhou Hu lowered his head quickly. It was the man in front of him who caught them and brought them into this terrible purgatory. The two exchanged a few words.

With a long friction sound, the door slowly opened inward.

The thorny corridor, the shiny stone floor, and the black dragon pillars standing like sculptures on both sides of the throne form the dragon guards of the ceremonial corridor.

On a raised platform at the end stood a bronze throne with skulls hanging on it.

The skulls were of different sizes and shapes, but the aura emanating from them was without exception extremely fierce.

Zhao Hu shuddered.

Realize that these skulls came from the Demon Lord, and are now used as horrific decorations.

Two stunning beauties, the only gentle embellishment in the room, stood on both sides of the throne. One was dressed in red, with a calm and distant temperament. The other was dressed in white, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, looking majestic. The owner of the room stood in front of the window, leaving them with only an extremely majestic back view.

boom!
The young dragon guard kicked Zhou Hu lightly on the back.

Zhou Hu staggered, then reacted and quickly knelt on the ground.

He heard footsteps, and the master of this city turned around, stepped onto the platform, sat down on his throne, and crossed his legs in a casual posture.

Each heartbeat seemed to last an eternity. Zhou Hu's head rested on the cold floor, and a drop of cold sweat dripped down the tip of his nose.

A gentle voice came slowly, "What's your name?"

Zhou Hu swallowed his saliva, lowered his head, and replied, "My name is Zhou Hu."

"What is your purpose in coming here?" Before this, Zhou Hu had secretly prepared several sets of answers, some of which were true and some were false. But when the test really came, all these preparations were invalid, and Zhou Hu just told the most truthful answer.

"We are here to collect intelligence. Some people above believe that some strange changes have taken place in this city." Zhou Hu replied.

"Those people up there, who are they?" Su Heng's voice came again.

Zhou Hu was a little bolder. He raised his head and looked at the throne with the corner of his eyes. On the throne stood a burly figure, much younger than Zhou Hu expected. His long hair was slightly curled and his face was not handsome, but his sharp edges and corners were full of masculine beauty.

Zhou Hu's pupils contracted and he noticed tiny bulges under the man's taut skin.

At first glance, it doesn't seem strange, but after looking at it for a long time, there is a special feeling.

It's just like--

Under this human skin, there is a terrifying monster that chooses its prey and devours people. It is indescribable.

As soon as the opportunity arises, it will tear off its disguise, break free from its restraints, and kill without restraint, chewing up and mashing up all living things in sight and swallowing them whole.

Click!

A blood-red lightning exploded in Zhou Hu's mind.

He was horrified, and quickly closed his eyes and shook his head vigorously, finally breaking free from the fantasy he had just unconsciously fallen into. When he came to his senses, he found that his back was already covered with cold sweat, and his breathing became heavy.

Zhou Hu did not dare to hesitate and said hurriedly, "It's Yi-uh, cough cough cough!"

His expression suddenly froze, and he stretched out his hands to tightly pinch his neck, his two bloodshot eyeballs bulging out. Zhou Hu opened his mouth, but no sound came out, his skin turned blue and purple, and he looked extremely painful.

Su Heng raised his eyebrows and looked at the scene with interest.

Beside him, Qin Shunying had obviously seen similar methods before, and rushed forward.

She reached out and pressed Zhou Hu's philtrum, but she was still a step too late.

boom!
Zhou Hu's body fell limply to the ground.

Qin Shunying sighed and withdrew his fingers.

She turned to look at Su Heng who was sitting on the throne, spread out her hands, and looked somewhat helpless.

As Zhou Hu fell, black lines began to spread on Ding Meng's neck on the other side. His body twitched twice and then stopped moving. He died on the spot.

"This is a forbidden heart spell." Qin Shunying explained in a low voice, "It is a very ancient and evil magical power. When the recipient of the spell thinks of and says special words, the spell will take effect, cutting off some brain functions and causing the internal organs to decay rapidly. Even gods cannot save them."

"I've only seen records of this in some ancient books before. This is the first time I've seen it in real life." Qin Shunying's face looked gloomy and a little ugly.

"Heart-binding spell? It seems that these two people are not ordinary people. Who do you think they are?" Su Heng asked.

"It's either Skull Origin or the forces behind General Yuan Hong." Qin Shunying pondered, "But right now Skull Origin is busy with its own affairs, so I think the latter is more likely."

"Yuan Hong!" To Su Heng, this was just a name that he vaguely remembered. He touched his chin and said, "I understand."

"Your strength has increased too quickly, and some people are beginning to feel uneasy." Qin Shunying frowned and said, "This test may be just a simple desire to understand the situation, or it may be malicious to some extent. But in short, we must be on guard against others."

"I'll pay attention." Su Heng nodded and smiled, "Thank you."

A blush flashed across Qin Shunying's fair and pretty face.

She smiled and shook her beautiful head gently, her long hair cascading down her shoulders like a waterfall. "Didn't you say you wanted to find a secret method to break through the Heavenly Strangeness? I have some news."

"Really?" Hearing this, Su Heng's eyes suddenly lit up, "Tell me about it."

I feel like I’ve hit a bottleneck in my writing career. On the one hand, the exciting parts are repetitive, and on the other hand, the main storyline is not clear enough QWQ. I’ve been reading the book recently, and my head is hurting because of thinking about the plot, so I’ve been updating less frequently. I hope you can forgive me. Bang bang bang!
