Chapter 87: An unexpected surprise

Chapter 87 An unexpected surprise Of course, if the other party does not tear it apart and continues to provide him with magic energy, he will not bring up this matter. If you insist on talking about right and wrong, how can you maintain peace? This question also touched upon a secret. Sun Shigang was a little speechless. How could he possibly say that he was here to kill Wu Jinliang, especially since he had fallen into the other party's hands? In an instant, he went from being extremely angry to being stubborn, "I don't know what you are talking about!" Without saying anything, Shi Chun asked something else: "Are you still willing to provide me with magic energy?" Three months had passed, and only half a month had passed. If the other party was willing to provide him with magic energy to consolidate his cultivation, he was willing to spend time here to continue practicing. “Haha…” Sun Shigang laughed up to the sky, his laughter was filled with sadness, and he laughed out a mockery of his own stupidity. He asked back, “You can use demonic energy to practice, and now that I know this secret, do you think you can still let me leave alive?” After he finished speaking, Shi Chun's cheeks twitched, his eyes flashed, and he grabbed Wu Jinliang and threw him to the ground quickly. A beam of light shot out from Sun Shigang's mouth, just passing the position where Shi Chun had just stood. Bang! With a loud bang, a hole as big as a basin was created at the bottom of the stone wall. It was just a mouthful of spit, but its power was far greater than an arrow, even when his vitality was severely damaged and his strength was greatly reduced. When he wanted to get angry again, he could no longer see the figures of Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang because the chains that bound them were too thick, blocking his view. It wasn't that Shi Chun got away with it by luck. He was always highly wary of the other party every time they met.

"Ah!" Sun Shigang roared to the sky, and the iron chain hanging him suddenly bounced. With a loud bang, the stone beam collapsed on the spot, and the iron chain like an iron tower fell to the ground. That was all. The rubble fell to the ground with a rumble, but the iron chain of the tower floated in the air, and a talisman hit the chain ball. Shi Chun and the other man then stood up with dark faces. They knew that they had the immobilization talisman in their hands, but they still did this. It seemed that the other party wanted to fight to the death. The problem is that another third-grade immobilization talisman is gone, and it is also the last one, so it is wasted. This time the third-grade immobilization talisman was quite powerful, but after it was severely depleted and his strength was greatly reduced, Sun Shigang could no longer move. Without saying a word, Shi Chun jumped onto the chain and hit Sun Shigang on the head, knocking him unconscious. He then untied the chain and pulled Sun Shigang out. He then placed multiple restrictions on him and picked up his long sword and short blade. Seeing this, Wu Jinliang waved his sleeves to sweep away the smoke and dust, and asked in surprise: "He has risked his life, can we still expect him to confess anything?" Shi Chun said nothing. He dragged the man away from the place of rocks and dust, put him down outside, then closed his eyes and cast a spell, using his own blood and energy to attack the purple mist in his body. The mist turned, and the power of his right eye was activated again. He stared at the unconscious Sun Shigang, and saw the black flame-like object in the dantian area of ​​Sun Shigang's body. He scanned Sun Shigang's body but did not see any demonic energy, so he finally focused on the thing he temporarily called "demon flame". In fact, he did not know what it was, but he guessed that this demon flame was the key to the generation of demonic energy. This ball of demonic flame no longer had the fierce momentum seen before, and was obviously much weaker. Wu Jinliang, who followed out, was about to speak when he suddenly saw Shi Chun half-kneeling beside Sun Shigang, with one hand pressing on Sun Shigang's dantian. He immediately held back the words that were about to come out of his mouth. Just like he had cast a spell to help Wu Jinliang absorb the evil energy from his body before, this time Shi Chun was not targeting the evil energy, but the ball of devilish flame. His skills really did touch the ball of devilish flame. When he tried to absorb it, the ball of devilish flame resisted and seemed to be struggling desperately. Mo Yan's struggle seemed to have affected Sun Shigang's emotions. Sun Shigang seemed to be trapped in a nightmare, with a look of pain in his eyes and brows. Shi Chun immediately increased the amount of magic power he absorbed, and eventually, he pulled out a trickle of magic power from the demonic flame, channeled it into his palm, and inhaled it into his meridians. The same refreshing feeling he had when he first absorbed the magic energy reappeared. If it felt right, then it was right, and he immediately absorbed it with all his strength. Sun Shigang, who was in a coma, suddenly opened his eyes at this moment, as if waking up from a nightmare, and screamed, "What are you doing?" This sudden incident almost frightened Shi Chun to the point of paralysis. He thought he had removed the restriction, but later found out that he hadn't, so he continued to increase the absorption without caring about anything. The look of fear on Sun Shigang's face became more and more obvious. Even though his body was restrained, he could clearly feel that the foundation he had laid over the years of practicing magic was quickly disappearing. What the hell, why was this happening? He had never felt this way before. The fear was much stronger than a knife on his neck. He screamed in fear, "Stop, what are you doing, stop..."

Shi Chun was becoming more and more addicted to it, and the pleasure was indescribable. If absorbing the demonic energy before was like absorbing fog, then he was now drinking water in big gulps. Wu Jin, who was standing by, blinked his eyes widely. He could tell from Sun Shigang's reaction that Chuntian was doing something to Sun Shigang that made him terrified. At first, it was Sun Shigang who was terrified, but later on, even he himself felt a little frightened. He found that Sun Shigang's energy and spirit were rapidly declining, and later even his cheeks and eye sockets were slightly sunken. What the hell was going on? “Stop, stop…” Soon, Sun Shigang became so weak that he had difficulty speaking. Shi Chun, who had absorbed the last black flame from the other's body into his own, took a deep breath and finally stopped. The blood and energy that maintained the rotation of the purple mist also relaxed. In this way, he no longer felt the pain of having his blood and energy forcibly sucked away, but the feeling of weakness from having consumed a large amount of blood and energy was unavoidable. Regardless of that for the moment, he drew his legs together and sat cross-legged on the ground, looking comfortable and satisfied, as if he had received a pleasant surprise. On the other hand, Sun Shigang seemed to have lost weight, his face was sallow, his eyes were dull, his gaze was scattered, and his breath was weak, as if he was only breathing a breath. He muttered something in his mouth, but it was inaudible. Wu Jinliang naturally saw that this was caused by Shi Chun's skills, and he couldn't help but be secretly shocked. The magic skills are indeed magic skills. The magic skills of this Chuntian guy are a bit scary. "I may have to stay in seclusion for a few days. He and the other four will be handed over to you for interrogation. Do whatever you want with them and try to dig out something useful." Shi Chun said as he took out three Changhua Pills and swallowed them all in one gulp. "I'll do it." Wu Jinliang agreed and dragged the half-dead Sun Shigang away on the spot. In the capital of Shengshenzhou, the atmosphere in the training ground half a month later was different. People from various factions were everywhere, worried and fearful. Several soldiers flew into the open space in the field, immediately attracting many people to stand up and watch. As expected, a soldier released several more corpses from his Qiankun bag. Someone cast a spell and shouted, "Qingbo Sect, come and collect the bodies." Many people breathed a sigh of relief, and three people quickly leaped out of the field and landed on the open space in the middle of the field. After the body was claimed, the bracelet on the wrist was cut off by the soldiers using their magic weapons and recovered. The people from the related sects left the scene sadly with the corpse. Similar incidents, from a few every day in the beginning to happening all the time now, have really made all factions nervous. As more and more insect crystals were found, as expected, driven by desire, killing had begun. Some of the killing scenes even happened right in front of people in the mirror image of the training ground. Over in the West, the royal court personnel who presided over the conference have also left. They will not interfere with the competition, but will just rush to various places to check on the bright spot that has remained motionless on the "Ultimate Map of Mountains and Rivers". Because the unmoving bright spot is likely to mean that the person involved is already dead. If confirmed, collecting the body and giving an explanation to the relevant sect is one thing, and it is also necessary to recover magical tools such as the mother-child talismans and bracelets. There are so many people attending the meeting that if we don’t start collecting them now, we will be confused later. "Elder, here they come, look, Senior Sister Bian and Senior Brother Gan." The disciples sitting next to Elder Ke Yizong suddenly pointed at the mirror to remind them, and saw that the scene they paid money to watch had finally come. There was no other way. Seeing that dead bodies were continuously being sent back from various factions, they could no longer remain calm. They were also worried about the situation of Bian Weiying and the others. After all, she was the sect leader's daughter. The sects that initially thought it was ridiculous to spend money on this are now rushing to pay to see it, and it takes a long time to get a turn because there are too many people lining up. This is the case even at night. It doesn't matter if you can't see clearly in the dark, as long as you can confirm that the participating disciples are okay. Seeing that Bian Weiying and Gan Tangyu in the picture were still intact and with a large group of people, looking quite safe, Elder Ke nodded slightly and finally felt relieved. A disciple asked in surprise: "Elder, Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang are missing. They are not among the people in the picture."

Elder Ke, who was twirling his beard, also noticed it. It was not known whether he was standing too far away and did not appear in the limited footage, or whether something happened, or whether Bian Weiying listened to his instructions and really killed the man. Feng Chi, who was covered in a cloak, also saw it. She was concerned that Xiang Lan'er was still there, but Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang were missing. She looked around with doubts, wondering if Sun Shigang had succeeded? He couldn't have killed Shi Chun as well. Miao Yilan, who was standing on the mountain's bleachers, also saw it and suddenly said, "Mom, it's the Wukangshan gang. Why aren't Shichun and the big guy here?" Lan Qiaoyan really didn't pay attention at first. After her daughter reminded her, she confirmed it through Lan'er's appearance. She had also carefully looked at the so-called top prostitute in the brothel when she appeared before, wanting to see why this woman was so popular with men. Not seeing Shi Chun and the others, she was a little uncertain and said, "Maybe they are standing too far away and not in the picture." In fact, she was a little worried. After all, she had paid for it and had a mother who had been calling her mother for a long time. Miao Dingyi really didn't remember the other outsiders. Seeing that the mother and daughter had confirmed it, he immediately gave a rational reply, "It's okay. Those who are in trouble have been carried back here." This was indeed the case, and the mother and daughter felt relieved immediately. "It's still the same one, Wu Kang Shan Si, Shi Chun, let Lao Yang cut in line." Young Master Nan's voice suddenly sounded behind them again. The family of three turned around and saw Young Master Nan giving instructions to the person in charge on the hill. The latter took the order and left quickly. "Brother Nan, you are too polite." Miao Dingyi smiled bitterly. It was not that he could not afford the money, but there was no need to do so. "Brother Miao, there's no need to be so polite." Young Master Nan waved his hand and said to Miao Yilan, "Lanlan, if you want to watch, just watch. You can always tell the person in charge. I've explained everything. You can always jump the queue." His information channels were not simple either. After these days, he had probably figured out the relationship between this family and Shi Chun and the others, and knew that Shi Chun might become Miao Dingyi's son-in-law. He thought this news was nonsense. How could it be possible for that low-level scum? But the reality was obvious, and he couldn't help but believe it. Others didn't know, but didn't he? Could a person like Miao Dingyi bet 100,000 gold? Could it be an ordinary relationship? So he could understand Miao Yilan's caring behavior, but he still couldn't understand the family's choice of son-in-law. What's so good about this kind of person? (End of this chapter)
