Shushan: Extinction

Chapter 154 Triangular Relationship
The three clones immediately began to chase after Gong Tianwu's afterimage. As long as they could hit it successfully, the afterimage would burst directly like a bubble, and it seemed that the hunting was very easy.

But the number of afterimages created by Gong Tianwu was still too many, giving people the feeling that they could not be killed.

Not only that, but something else happened next to make the situation even worse. Gong Tianwu then "bang bang bang bang" fired five or six bullets around.

These projectiles exploded one after another, forming large balls of white mist, which quickly enveloped the entrance to the cave and even the statues in the square in front.

Originally, Gong Tianwu’s methods were not worth mentioning at all. After all, this was the dojo + tomb arranged by Yuan Hong himself!

But don't forget that this is in the "True and Drunken Immortal Picture". The weapon souls here can almost do whatever they want. For example, these clones of his, the weapon souls can disperse them all with a thought.

Not to mention the white mist that obscures vision, the weapon spirit can stir up a strong wind and blow it away in minutes.

It's a pity that the weapon soul has been severely damaged by Gong Tianwu and is in dormancy. It will take at least a few years of recuperation before it can come out again. Therefore, the methods used by Gong Tianwu caught Yuan Ming off guard for a while.

Just as Yuan Ming was getting angry, Gong Tianwu suddenly let out a scream:
"Ah!! Yuan Ming, you bastard, don't even think about making me give up. This is the golden elixir opportunity that came from Yuan Hong!!"

Yuan Ming was slightly stunned, and then he reacted angrily:

Was Gong Tianwu's scream meant for him to hear?

Of course not, this was said for Emei disciple Zhu Yin to hear, and it was an outright conspiracy!
Zhu Yin is an elite disciple of Emei. He is arrogant and proud, and carries many life-saving props on him. He is loved by many people in the sect, just like the rich second generation in real life.

But this definitely doesn't mean he is stupid, he has no brains, no vision!!

In fact, after Gong Tianwu shouted this, even Zhu Yin realized this guy's sinister intentions earlier than Yuan Ming.

But the problem is that everything Gong Tianwu said was true, not a single word was false!!

This place is indeed the cave built by Yuan Hong himself. If he failed to ascend to heaven that year, then it would be his own tomb.

When he succeeds in ascending, transforms into a golden elixir and successfully ascends to the upper realm, then there will certainly be a chance for a golden elixir in this cave!!
Such an opportunity could be a technique, a magic weapon, or an elixir. It could even be an implement used by Jindan during his lifetime. A piece of insight written down casually could give new ideas to those who come after him.

Facts have proved that this kind of thing is not uncommon. There are clear records in the Emei Sect that at least 20% of those who successfully refine the golden elixir have obtained the corresponding opportunities from senior golden elixir masters.

Such an opportunity is extremely precious not only to disciples in the Qi Refining Stage, but even to elders in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

In this situation, the arrogant Zhu Yin, after confirming that there was indeed an opportunity to find the golden elixir here, laughed loudly without saying a word and rushed in.

For him, giving up the golden elixir opportunity would even damage his Taoism. Since he has embarked on the path of cultivation, he cannot be afraid of risks! Moreover, Gong Tianwu has deliberately created an opportunity for him?
Now Zhu Yin really hopes to see himself escape unscathed successfully, and the other party's frustrated expression of losing more than he gained!
Amid Yuan Ming's roar, Zhu Yin took advantage of the fog and rushed straight into the cave, even with an unstoppable momentum.

Zhu Yin was also very alert at this time. He and the sword became one, and he turned into a golden light and shot out. A string of giant beads appeared faintly around him. This was the protective magic weapon he used:

Bright light Buddhist beads!

Yuan Ming became furious upon seeing this, and suddenly let out a strange cry, biting his tongue and spurting out a mouthful of blood mist.

After the blood mist was sprayed out, it instantly transformed into a huge blood-red claw. It looked furry like a monkey's paw, and the image was very lifelike.

The blood-colored claws flapped twice to the left and right, dispersing the surrounding clouds and mist.
Immediately afterwards, the bloody claw stretched out fiercely, and grabbed Zhu Yin first.

This move is called Heavenly Demon Grip, and it seemed easy for Yuan Ming to perform it, but in fact, it had cost him thirty years of cultivation!
Zhu Yin sneered, and actually flashed away. This was the Taoist technique he had practiced for many years: moving without a shadow.

The source of this Taoist art can even be traced back to the magic taught by the Golden Immortal Guangchengzi. It is the most authentic Taoist art that cannot be more authentic, and of course its power is also extremely great.

But at this time, Yuan Ming's three clones suddenly jumped out from the side, locked him in the center in the shape of a "品" character, and muttered spells in their mouths.

At this moment, Zhu Yin was distracted. In addition, there was a big gap between the two sides in terms of realm, so Zhu Yin's Invisible Movement was slow to be performed.

Seizing this opportunity, Yuan Ming's eyes turned fierce, and he directly used all his strength:
Several sharp claws suddenly popped out from the end of the bloody claw, and then it clenched hard!
Immediately, a clear cracking sound was heard coming from Zhu Yin's body surface. The sound was like an eggshell being crushed forcefully, which was extremely creepy.

A scream was also heard from Zhu Yin, which was caused by the damage to the soul of his body-protecting magic weapon, the rosary.

It can be seen that an angry Asura phantom emerged from behind him, but quickly fell into the state of the five decays of heavenly beings and then disappeared.

However, this magic weapon also exploded with great power, transforming into a halo that quickly exploded in all directions.
First, the blood-colored claw bullet was dismantled, turning it into a ball of blood and gas and then dissipated.

At the same time, three clones were also hit, and were swept away by the halo and annihilated in mid-air.

In fact, strictly speaking, the quality of the rosary that Zhu Yin used to protect his body was very high, but his own Qi Refining Stage cultivation greatly limited the power of this protective magic weapon.

This is like owning a Arabian horse, but you can only feed it three-quarters full at each meal. It certainly can't take advantage of its ability to travel a thousand miles a day.

If Liu Xun and others were to control this rosary magic weapon, they could easily dissolve Yuan Ming's celestial demon.

Zhu Yin was immediately furious when the Mingguang Buddhist beads were broken, because this item was given to him by his childhood sweetheart and had an extraordinary origin. He was immediately heartbroken to see it was damaged.

Then the sword flashed and rolled towards the cave gate next to it. Yuan Ming never thought that Zhu Yin would actually attack here. He was unable to stop him in time, and immediately heard a large sound of destruction.

This move is not harmful enough but extremely insulting.

This place is where Yuan Hong used as his mausoleum!
Zhu Yin's sword was equivalent to digging up someone else's grave, smashing the tombstone, and trampling the offerings to pieces.

Yuan Ming became furious upon seeing this. He suddenly opened his mouth and spat out an oval object, which he aimed at Zhu Yin.

This object was surrounded by a layer of unique misty yellow gas, and as it flew towards them, it made a dull and creepy sound of breaking through the air!

Zhu Yin was also arrogant and defiant, showing his edge. As a core disciple of Emei, he had to be respected by others wherever he went, so without saying a word, he pointed his finger and a stream of Gengjin sword energy slashed over.

Who would have known that this indestructible Gengjin sword energy would fall on this magic weapon, just like a snow lion facing fire, and it would instantly disappear and be annihilated without leaving a trace.

Zhu Yin was greatly surprised at this time. He waved his hands continuously and produced two magic weapons and a talisman, finally eliminating the yellow gas on the surface of the treasure that Yuan Hong had offered.

Looking closely, this thing is oval in shape, and the surface shows various unique and winding textures, as if it contains the mysteries between heaven and earth!
It turned out that this thing was a peach pit from the upper realm, and it had also mutated into a very rare earth attribute.

When Yuan Ming got it, he couldn't let it go, so he refined it into a very unique portable magic weapon and named it Pan Lei!

This item is extremely difficult to refine. Yuan Ming received guidance from Yuan Hong and used his own blood to soak it day and night before he was able to refine it successfully. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as his natal magic weapon.

The powerful quality of this Pan Lei itself, coupled with Yuan Ming's meticulous carving, makes it extremely powerful, and it has a great degree of suppression over Zhu Yin.

Therefore, Zhu Yin could not escape this disaster and was hit head-on by this evil weapon!
Two rays of light flashed on his body twice in succession, and then disappeared. It was the other two protective magic weapons bestowed by the sect that had come to an end and were completely destroyed.

Fortunately, the life-saving talisman that Zhu Yin carried with him sensed the crisis in time, appeared to protect his master, and instantly formed a unique Bagua diagram illusion behind him, which allowed Zhu Yin to successfully escape.

However, Zhu Yin was also a very scheming person. When he was hit by the thunder, he adjusted his position in time. So while he was blown away, he took advantage of the momentum and rushed into the cave!
Yuan Ming became furious upon seeing this. He let out a strange cry and immediately controlled the thunder again, wanting to give Zhu Yin another fierce attack.

If this attack was launched, Zhu Yin would definitely not be able to rush in, but this guy's protective talisman is very powerful, so he would definitely not be killed.

Gong Tianwu, who was watching from the sidelines, seemed to be entangled by Jin Dasheng's statue, but in fact he had a clear understanding of the battle situation.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and then he made a quick decision, kicking out, kicking the chest of the Jin Dasheng statue in front of him. When the kick landed, purple lightning lingered under his feet. It was Gong Tianwu who activated the Wanling Thunder Method, slowing down the statue's electric attack several times, and it was no longer threatening.

At the same time, Gong Tianwu clenched his left hand and suddenly activated the physical cultivation skill inherited from Liu Xun: Tiangang Great Capture!
Suddenly, a cold wind blew out of nowhere, and then a giant hand that was barely visible appeared in the flying snowflakes. It looked as crystal clear as ice and slapped Yuan Ming.

Yuan Ming was trying his best to control the Pan Lei, so how could he have expected that the harmless Gong Tianwu would suddenly launch a sneak attack? He dodged hurriedly and picked up the purple gold mace next to him and hit Gong Tianwu with it.

If we only talk about magic, Gong Tianwu's strength is actually much lower than Zhu Yin's, so his Tiangang Daqinna seems to be very powerful, but in fact it was smashed to pieces after being hit hard by a mace, turning into icy dust all over the sky.

After Gong Tianwu took action, it only delayed Yuan Ming for a second or two at most, but this tiny difference allowed Zhu Yin to finally rush in as he wished.

At the same time, Gong Tianwu, whose sneak attack failed, predicted Yuan Ming's action, and slid to the side slickly, leaping thirty feet.

If Yuan Ming wanted to continue chasing him, then he would have to give Zhu Yin, who had rushed into the cave, more time.

In this situation, Yuan Ming was really furious!

To be honest, he really wanted to tear the bastard from the Snow Mountain Sect in front of him into pieces, but he could only choose the lesser of two evils. He glared at Gong Tianwu viciously and quickly chased him into the cave.

Gong Tianwu smiled slightly. This scene was already within his prediction.

In fact, he could have just ignored it and let Zhu Yin be kicked out, but was this really the best choice for him?
Once Zhu Yin left, he would have to bear Yuan Ming's pressure alone, which was obviously not a good job! Especially since this place was still in Yuan Hong's cave residence.

For now, maintaining the status quo and letting Zhu Yin take the lead is Gong Tianwu’s best option.

Gong Tianwu was not sure whether his obstruction would lead to Zhu Yin gaining great benefits, but he was sure that Yuan Ming in front of him would definitely try his best to prevent this from happening.

After thinking for a while, Gong Tianwu said to Kang:

"Can you consume causal points to cause a fierce conflict between Zhu Yin and Yuan Ming?"

Kang refused:

"No."

Gong Tianwu shrugged with some regret.

Kang continued:
"The fate of human beings is like the wind and clouds in the sky, changing all the time. One moment a person is safe and happy, and the next second a disaster may strike and bring misfortune."

"The two people you want to influence have great luck, so they can't do what you ask."

"However, considering that the relationship between the two is already very tense, we can go with the flow and give it a try. There is no guarantee that it will succeed, but it will cost 10 causal points."

Gong Tianwu hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said with some pain:

"Okay, here you go!"

After paying the corresponding fees, Gong Tianwu stood in place and took a few pills to restore his energy and heal his injuries, and then walked calmly into the cave.

***
after an hour,

No, it should be two hours.
No, no, no, no, it should only be ten minutes!

Gong Tianwu stood where he was, his brows tightly furrowed. He knew that something was wrong with his current situation.

To be precise, I should be in a state of losing my sense of time.

This cave is indeed a mausoleum built by Yuan Hong himself. After entering the door, my eyes blurred and I found myself in a long passage. No matter how I walked forward, I could not see the end.

When you turn around, you will find that the entrance you came in through is gone.

Moreover, time was rapidly confused in this passage, and the flow rate suddenly accelerated. It seemed as if a long time had passed, but when you thought about it carefully, it seemed as if you had just come in.

Faced with this situation, Gong Tianwuqing knew that he should have been hit by a dimensionality reduction attack. After all, this was the place arranged by Yuan Hong, who was at the Jindan level. How could a Qi Refining disciple like him compare with him in terms of knowledge and cultivation?
Therefore, Gong Tianwu also sought help from Kang Jinlong in time. In terms of knowledge, Yuan Hong must be a younger brother in front of it.

"You should be aware of my current situation, right? Can you help me?"

Kang said very straightforwardly:

"piece of cake."

Gong Tianwuxin said, "This problem is not a small matter for me at all." Then he was ready to pay a number of cause and effect points, but he heard Kang directly give a hint:
"Get a pitcher of water and pour it on the ground."

"Huh?" Gong Tianwu was stunned, then immediately searched for something and asked, "Water is running out, how about some wine?"

"That's fine too. If all else fails, you can just pee, as long as the volume is large enough."

Then Gong Tianwu poured a jar of wine on the ground, and then a strange thing happened.

The wine accumulated in the jar on the ground actually gathered together first, and then flowed in the opposite direction towards the top of the passage.

You know, in Gong Tianwu's opinion, this passage clearly extends diagonally downward, which is a typical example of water flowing upwards.
However, Gong Tianwu reacted immediately and realized that in such a place, one must not be deceived by vision. Intuition and the like began to become obviously unreliable.

At this time, Kang's prompt appears again:

"If you follow the direction of the wine flow, you will naturally be able to leave this maze."

Gong Tianwu was surprised and said:

"So simple?"

So he quickly followed the flowing wine.

After flowing upwards for more than ten meters, it suddenly turned to the left and went directly into the wall next to it.

Gong Tianwu's heart moved, and he immediately reached out to touch the wall. Sure enough, he found that the seemingly hard and thick wall was actually not touchable at all, and his fingers went straight through it.

To be on the safe side, Gong Tianwu continued to carefully search the area and found that this was actually a gate that was three meters wide and four meters high.

However, this gate is perfectly integrated into the wall, and at least from the visual point of view, there is no flaw to be seen.

So he tried to get in. At the beginning, Gong Tianwu couldn't see anything in front of him. After groping for about four or five meters, his eyes suddenly blurred and he found another passage.

Gong Tianwu looked down and found that the wine continued to flow along the channel.

It can be seen that this passage is also full of confusion, because after a while, the wine first flowed up the wall next to it, and then flowed towards the ceiling above.

This arrangement really made Gong Tianwu sigh that the damn Yuan Hong played dirty and his tricks were endless, but after thinking about it carefully, Kang was the stronger one.
