Shushan: Extinction

Chapter 173 Rebellion

Gong Tianwu nodded suddenly and said:

"This should be the enemy's technique of moving the universe. They want to divide you up and defeat you one by one."

Shen Ban said angrily:
"Yes, I think so too!"

"The most important thing is that we were short of manpower to begin with. That bastard Yuan Ming discovered a fork in the road not long after he came in, and then he proposed to divide the troops!"

“Most people were not in favor of splitting up the troops at this time, but he left with a group of people without saying anything.”

"In this situation, we can't start an internal conflict before the fight even starts, so we just start off badly."

Gong Tianwu suddenly realized:

"So Yuan Ming came in too, no wonder, haha."

Review:
"Master Xu, do you know something?"

Gong Tianwu shook his head:

"I just have some guesses, but I have no evidence, and it doesn't make sense to say it out loud. Anyway, let's meet up with the rest of the group first. This place is very weird."

Shen Dian nodded, and said with lingering fear:

"Yeah, I also think this place is very weird. As a group of us were walking, we actually felt the whole cave was shaking, as if there was an earthquake."

"That's fine. First, a large amount of disgusting poisonous water gushed out from the top of the cave, and then a large number of those insects appeared, which immediately scattered us completely."

Gong Tianwu nodded slightly and said:

"I see. These bugs seem to be very sensitive to cold, which is a blessing in disguise."

Review:
"Look at the wall, there seem to be traces of battle. Let's go this way!!"

***
at the same time,

Outside the huge wall,
The young city lord sent another group of people into the cave. The smile on his face was still gentle, which made people feel very comfortable and warm in their hearts.

After watching them go deeper into the cave, a strange whistle suddenly came from the sky, and then a shadow flashed, and then a man in a green robe stood on the rock next to him.

The man was very thin and had a hunched back. He looked empty in the green robe.

At this time, the mountain breeze blew gently, and even caused some strange bulges to appear inside the man's green robe. That was a physiological structure that a normal human should not have.

Of course, the most special thing is that this man has a unique layer of gauze wrapped around his eyes, making him look like a blind man.

The man looked at the young city lord and said calmly:
"I have done what I have done for you, and the cause and effect between us has been resolved."

The little city lord smiled and said:

"Is it so urgent? Let's go tomorrow. Come down and have a cup of tea before leaving."

It turns out that this man is Ming Qu, the most mysterious and most independent pupil demon general among the six demon generals.

He said very simply:

"There's no need to drink tea. The city lord is dead, and I've been here for so long. Our fate has ended. There's no need to drag it out any further."

At this time, the young city lord hadn't spoken yet, but the monk in the red robe standing behind him with his hands behind his back had already said in a cold voice:

"I don't know how to praise!"

Suddenly, a golden shadow was seen shaking beside him, and at least a dozen strange golden lights emerged from his sleeves and went straight into the light.

Fortunately, Mingqu had no intention of relaxing his vigilance since he landed. Suddenly, a light flashed on his body, as if he was covered with several layers of gauze, and directly bounced off these strange golden lights.

Then he discovered that these golden lights quickly merged into one after being bounced away, turning into a unique golden rope, which was loosely tied into a flower knot in mid-air and flew back into the hands of the man in the ochre robe.

Witnessing this scene, Ming Qu suddenly lost his voice and said:
"Immortal Capture Rope!! Are you from Emei?!"

As he said this, his entire body had gradually disappeared. It turned out that his real body had quietly disappeared at some point, and what was left was just an illusion.

However, the bearded old man next to him flicked his sleeves lightly, and suddenly a whirlwind blew up on the flat ground a few dozen meters away, and directly rolled out a figure.

This figure was none other than Ming Qu himself.

At the same time, the trees nearby trembled, and the leaves on them turned into dense hidden weapons, which flew towards Ming.

But the veil on Mingqu's eyes fluttered up instantly, and one could see more than a hundred tiny rays of light shot out from his pupils. They felt extremely sharp, and each ray of light hit the leaf accurately!
The leaves that were shot actually made a sound of metal clashing, and then the material crackled like porcelain and exploded in mid-air.

The name of the demon general Tong is truly well-deserved.

Seeing that Deming was about to disappear again, he was suddenly shocked and turned back slowly in disbelief.

It turned out that the young city lord had come to a place more than ten meters behind him without him knowing when. Then, a gorgeous peacock feather suddenly appeared in Mingqi's vest, and it pierced deeply into his vest like a sharp arrow.

Ming looked at the young city lord's face, which still had a warm smile on it. A large amount of blood gushed out of his mouth, but he still said with difficulty and effort:
"Why?"

The little city lord said gently:
"Mujiang City belongs to Bai Wen and Dongxuzi. Their words are the final word. The Kong family is just carrying the title of the little city lord in vain. In fact, they are just like their housekeepers, humble and pitiful."

"I proposed a few changes to the policy and plan, but they were all rejected. So why should I keep it?"

"I have waited for more than 170 years, and finally I have seen Dongxuzi act against the will of heaven, offend the powerful beings in the upper realm, and be unable to take care of himself!"

"If I don't take this opportunity to sell Mujiang City for a good price, how can I justify all the hard work I've put into it over the years?"

Ming Qu laughed bitterly:
"So that's how it is. I never expected that. I really couldn't tell."

At this moment, the Taoist in the ochre robe suddenly flew into the air. His body shape suddenly changed, canceling the illusion that he had used to conceal himself.

If Gong Tianwu was here at this moment, he would definitely be able to recognize him at the first moment, because this person is Li Yingqiong's reincarnated disciple and the core figure of the Emei Sect in this world: Xue Mingchuan!
This person let out a long howl, which shook the whole area:

"It's almost done, we can close the net now."

After this long roar, one could feel the entire surrounding mountains and earth shaking slightly, and a ray of fire shot out from the side and stopped nearby!

The man who came was wearing brilliant silver armor and holding a purple gold eight-edged mace. It was the demon king Yuan Ming. He looked at the deep cave entrance in front of him, then sighed and said:

"Oh! What a pity for my clone." After saying that, Yuan Ming pointed his hand towards the distance, and immediately saw a scroll appear out of thin air in the void, then swayed and floated down.

This painting was none other than the lifelike and intoxicating picture left by the demon fairy Yuan Hong!

Although the soul of this thing was severely damaged by Gong Tianwu a few years ago, it has obviously recovered its strength now.

As soon as this picture appeared, some of the surrounding scenery suddenly changed rapidly like rippling water, revealing their true appearance, which was immediately jaw-dropping.

It turns out that the mountain in front is not a mountain at all.

Instead, an extremely huge corpse demon was lying on the ground! !
Its skin is brown-red, and the black stripes all over its body form many strange magic patterns. It looks terrifying, as if even the human soul will be frightened by these magic patterns.

The cave entrance that Gong Tianwu and others entered before was not a cave entrance at all, but the terrifying big mouth of this corpse demon.

Even its long forked tongue is dragging outside, so if you want to enter the cave, you have to step on its tongue first.

Such an illusion was achieved by using the inspiration from the "Drunken Immortal Picture" and the help of Xue Mingchuan with the Emei secret technique. It can be said to be seamless.

On the head of the corpse demon, there is a black crystal throne, and two witches can be seen sitting on it.

They have bone wings on their backs, and one of the witches holds a pale bone staff in her hand.

There was actually a Buddha head embedded on the top of the staff, and the Buddha head was smiling and didn't seem to be in any pain at all.

Another witch was holding a bottle that was shining with a strange yellow light.

The shape of this bottle is a big belly and narrow mouth, the handle is a palm leaf style, and the body of the bottle is embossed with special images of the battle between gods and demons and the reincarnation of lotus, which is completely different from the Central Plains style.

On the bottle, the three words "Shengba Bottle" are clearly written.

Seeing this scene, Ming Qu murmured:
“So that’s how it is, so that’s how it is”

Then his entire body fell from the air like a dead leaf, and before it hit the ground it began to drift away with the wind, turning into a large amount of translucent things like tattered plastic.

Witnessing this scene, the young city lord Kong Yi and Xue Mingchuan from Emei seemed to have no reaction.

But the other old man with a long beard suddenly changed his expression, and quickly moved to the side of the fallen debris, stretched out his hand and picked it up, then frowned and said:
"No! This is the art of death transformation!"

Xue Mingchuan frowned and said:

"Master Xu, we three teamed up to deal with him! Even a Jindan Zhenren would have to suffer a lot. How could he escape with such magical powers?"

The appearance of the bearded old man also underwent subtle changes at this time. He looked much more like an immortal. His identity was not simple either. He was Xu Chenzi, the deputy head of the Qingcheng Branch in this plane.

After hearing Xue Mingchuan's doubts, Xu Chenzi sighed and said:
"This is not a magical power, but an innate talent. It is difficult to stop. It's like a fish can breathe in water and a horse can run as soon as it is born."

Xue Mingchuan frowned and said:

"There is such a thing, why don't other monsters have it?"

The little city lord suddenly said:

"This pupil demon general Mingqu was called here by Bai Wen (the Grand City Lord), and his identity remained a mystery for a long time."

"Later, I learned that he had an extraordinary origin. He was a prehistoric species in the garden of Goddess Nuwa. However, he was demoted because he bit the petals of a white flower in the garden."

Xue Mingchuan suddenly realized:

"No wonder. Such a great demon with an extraordinary background must have some tricks up his sleeve. So, Master Xu, will his magic be a hindrance to the overall situation?"

Xu Chenzi said:

"I have only seen this death-substitution technique in Taoist scriptures, and it was not about a dragonfly monster, but a golden cicada monster."

"It is said that when the caster is faced with a life-or-death crisis, he will instantly sacrifice his true body and transform into a layer of shed clothes to die instead, while the true body will be reborn in its original form in a suitable place nearby."

"For example, the Golden Cicada Monster's adaptive place is in the soil, next to trees, and after rebirth, it will degenerate from the flying cicada form to the original earthworm state."

The little city lord said curiously:
"Why is it in the middle of the soil, next to the wood?"

Xu Chenzi said:

"Because when the Golden Cicada Monster lives underground, it likes to crawl on tree roots in the soil."

After hearing this, Xue Mingchuan immediately laughed and said:
"If that's the case, then the pupil demon is a dragonfly that has become a demon. Now it will degenerate into a water scorpion."

"And isn't the most suitable place for water crawling something like a creek or shallow water? The only place that meets these conditions within a radius of dozens of miles is the stomach of this Axun corpse demon."

“Hahahaha, this pupil demon general has a miserable life. He could have died once and it would have been all over, but he insisted on dying again and suffering more.”

In the language of the demons, the word Axun means huge and heavy, and the guy in front of him really deserves the name.

At this time, Xu Chenzi did not respond, but looked up at the towering Axun Corpse Demon beside him, and said to the witch above his head:
"Tian Nuba, we have completed our tasks according to the contract. Now it is your turn to act."

The witch holding the Buddha's head bone staff glanced over here coldly, then raised her foot and stepped lightly downwards.

Suddenly, the Axun corpse demon who was lying on the ground raised his right palm and pressed it heavily on the ground, causing the earth to tremble.

Then, this guy slowly changed from a prone position to a kneeling position, and then he tried to slowly stand up, and the dirt, rocks and dust on his body began to fall off.

If such a terrifying monster that is three or four hundred meters tall loses its balance and falls, it will likely cause a disaster.

At this time, a sword light flew over from a distance. The one who came was another old man in Taoist clothes. His dress was similar to Xu Chenzi. He was another elder in the Qingcheng Villa: Xu Jingzi.

He shouted towards this side:
"Brother, the Axun demon is moving, and Kong Yi has also sacrificed a large number of monsters and creatures for it to devour. That means our work is done. Let's go back to the mountain quickly."

Xu Chenzi nodded slightly after hearing this, and then said to Xue Mingchuan:

"Mr. Mingchuan, what my junior brother said makes some sense. I will not be involved in this worldly affairs and will go ahead with my junior brother."

Xue Mingchuan nodded, and then watched Xu Chenzi and Xu Jingzi transform into two beams of light and escape, his eyes somewhat complicated.

At this time, we can see that after the Axun corpse demon stood up, it stayed where it was for a long time without moving. We could see unique illusions similar to translucent chains constantly flashing around its body.
