Chapter 24 It Was Really Him What? Du Huoguan turned his head and looked at him, knowing that the prison master must have seen something. The corners of the mouth and nostrils of the self-righteous slanderer began to bleed. He suddenly felt no pain in his body and quickly lost perception of his internal organs. He suspected that the paralyzing effect of his poison needle had taken effect, but other parts of his body could still feel it. Then he realized that he was overthinking and couldn't breathe. He looked up at Shi Chun with disbelief in his eyes. When the four arms were competing just now, he could feel that the difference in cultivation between the two sides should not be that big. How could he not be able to withstand even a palm strike from the opponent with his own defense? Boom! Another drum beat, the sixth one. Almost at the same time as the drum sounded, Shi Chun rushed over with his legs kicking, as fast as a meteor, spun around and kicked the ground with a whip, his brows raised and his eyes cold, his hair fluttering. Afraid that the opponent would not die within the specified time, he kicked him again urgently. With a click, the head of the slanderer turned two and a half circles on his neck, with the back of his head facing Shi Chun. He refused to close his eyes, and his body was shaking and swaying. Boom! The seventh sound rang out, and the accuser slowly fell down with a look of resentment on his face. The city guard slowly put down the drumstick in his hand, obviously there was no need to continue beating it.
Shi Chun also let out a sigh of relief. If he was well-informed, if he knew that the bodies of the several people he had killed that night had been brought here by the city guards, he "maybe" would not have used the killing move just now. In his opinion, only the forces behind Shen Youkun knew the location of the incident that night. Even if they had secretly colluded with the city guards, they would not have openly exposed the bodies here. The most likely possibility was that they destroyed the bodies. Without knowing the inside story, he couldn't figure out how the body appeared here even if he racked his brains. But it was just "maybe". In fact, he had no choice now. He had to kill an opponent with a similar level of cultivation within ten minutes. He could not get over this hurdle without a killing move. As the body of the slanderer slowly fell, the bloody skull mark on his back was blurred by the spreading subcutaneous bleeding, and a large, eye-catching area of bright red appeared behind him. Seeing this mark, Du Huoguan behind the window pane lost his composure a little, with an expression of disbelief on his face, "He really did it!" Shi Chun, who had lost her hairpin during the interrogation in the prison, looked around with her hair disheveled, and then realized a problem. There was no one else on the scene except the city guard who beat the drum to count. Where was the referee? Could the person beating the drum also be the referee? Du Huoguan, who was standing behind the window pane, had turned around and stared at the prison warden. The final result could explain the previous process. He finally understood the prison warden's intention of watching this duel. Didn't he report before that Qi Yueru had every reason to suspect Shi Chun was the murderer of his son and brother? Now I naturally understand what the prison warden means. Since he suspects it, I will verify it to see if it matches the murderer's attack characteristics. As for why they had to beat the drum dozens of times and engage in hand-to-hand combat without weapons, it was now obvious. This was to prevent Shi Chun from retreating and to force him to use a killing move. Just as Du Huoguan was about to say something, he saw the prison master raise his hand and his index finger slashed out into the air like a sharp blade. There was no damage to the window pane in front of him, and he couldn't even feel anything unusual. However, a crack suddenly appeared in the duel arena where corpses were bleeding, like a glowing thread that gradually grew larger and turned into a crack. The process was silent until a whirlwind with a fragrance blew out of the crack. Shi Chun suddenly noticed it and looked back, only to see this strange sight. Da, a knocking sound echoed throughout the city. The sound was not loud, but everyone in the city could hear it clearly. Many people in the city looked around, not knowing where the sound came from, as if it was knocking right next to their ears. Wu Jinliang, who was sitting in the corner of the cell soothing his wounds, was stunned for a moment and then stood up. He didn't know there was a duel. Shi Chun was alert to the space cracks while looking around for the source of the sound. Only Officer Du Huo saw the source of the sound. The prison master placed one hand on the windowsill, tapping the window with his index finger. The tapping sound came again and again, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes tight, sometimes loose, and each tap seemed to hit everyone's heart, making people feel like they couldn't help but want to follow the rhythm. This feeling caused panic and made people feel very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the tapping sound disappeared soon. Shi Chun was just about to take a breath when he suddenly stared at the crack in space. He saw the crack suddenly expand and split open, like a huge vertical eye, torn open from the inside by a pair of sharp claws. There seemed to be a dazzling blood light flashing inside, and a magnificent demonic aura poured out, as if it would sweep across the world in an instant, and Shi Chun was the first to bear the brunt of it. Who could bear such a shock? At least Shi Chun couldn't bear it. He didn't care about the rules of this place. The most important thing was to escape. He jumped up, turned around and ran. Unexpectedly, just after he jumped about a foot high, he became unable to move. A powerful demonic force swept over and pinned him in the air. He enjoyed the treatment of the immobilization talisman again, but he knew very well that this was not an immobilization talisman at all. He could clearly feel the demonic power, which was so strong that it could crush him into pieces in an instant. He suddenly panicked and it was hard not to be nervous and scared. Unfortunately, misfortunes never come singly. The pain of his head splitting into thousands of pieces and his spine feeling like it was being eaten by countless insects and ants appeared again at this moment, and the dream-like scene in his right eye also reappeared. The overwhelming demonic energy seemed to be all-pervasive, quickly seeping into every corner of the city. Determined to avoid suspicion, Ba Yingshan, who had been staying in his room, finally couldn't bear it anymore. He opened the door and was about to fly into the air to check what was going on. Before the man could cross the roof, he was knocked to the ground by a powerful demonic force that descended from the sky. Ba Yingshan was shocked, but he felt that the big monster who attacked him showed mercy, otherwise it would be easy to kill him. He quickly looked around and found that he was not the only one who fell to the ground. Some city guards who wanted to jump up to check were pinned to the ground by an invisible force. Not only them, but everyone in the entire city who wanted to climb up fell down. It seemed that the evil power would not allow any latecomers to surpass it. On the second floor of Bowang Tower, bathed in the demonic energy that seeped in, Old Tan suddenly turned his head to look at the inner city, wondering, "Which demon dares to act rashly here?" Lan Qiaoyan, who also looked back, had a solemn expression on her face. After a little thought, she shook her head and said, "It must be the work of that 'jail boss'." Many people in the city were in panic. Wu Jinliang in the cage hugged his arms and looked around timidly, looking very cold. Shi Chun was the most frightened one at this time. “Hehehe…hehe…” A woman's bell-like laughter suddenly sounded behind him, and the strange fragrance became stronger, as if someone was breathing hot air on the back of his neck. Shi Chun couldn't understand what was going on. What was even more terrifying was that his body, which was fixed in the air, was slowly turning around, and then he saw a scene that he didn't want to see. A huge fox head actually emerged from the torn space crack. It was as big as a man, with two strange blood-red eyes emitting a strange red light, and its green fur was soft and smooth, rippling like waves. The aura it exuded was terrifying. It kept turning its head left and right, staring at his Shi Chun carefully, as if it was examining food and thinking about how to eat it. Shi Chun had never seen such a scene before, so he forced a dog-licking smile in an attempt to win favor. (End of this chapter)
