Chapter 105 - Killing Two, Injuring One, Already a Checkmate (Seeking Follow-Up Reading)

Chapter 105: Chapter 80: Killing Two, Injuring One, Already a Checkmate (Seeking Follow-Up Reading)"Hey, what’s going on? What did this kid do?"

"Why did Elder Tian suddenly mutate?"

"Could it be curse power out of control?"

"Elder Tian, how are you?"

Suddenly, the other four members of the White Emperor’s sons watched him warily, only daring to speak to inquire.

"Quick... quick, help me~ save me~" Tian Wenjin rolled around the ground as if he were having a seizure.

However, the more he did this, the more uneasy the others became.

They all jumped away, and for a moment, no one came forward to help.

Tian Wenjin’s body was covered in red hair; when anyone saw him, they knew something was wrong. Who would dare approach him?

"Hmm?"

This scene actually illuminated Xu Shu’s eyes.

They didn’t seem to recognize the Corpse Dog or Tian Wenjin’s condition—he was hit with a demonic curse!

Previously, due to the urgency of the situation, Xu Shu had no chance to deal with the Corpse Dog quickly, so the final solution chosen was to throw all the people possessed by the Corpse Dog into a quicksand trap.

Because of the urgency, Xu Shu didn’t have time to wait for it to die completely, so he came here looking for the little demon.

Although the Corpse Dog looked easy to kill—a single shot for those possessed—it was because it had a "Death Possession" passive. It didn’t defend itself against the person killing it and even had a bit of a death wish.

But in reality, Xu Shu knew this thing’s vitality was extremely strong.

Just by being able to contest with him doing sit-ups in a simulation for over ten minutes was a sign of its vitality.

But then there was a question back then—if a trap kills the Corpse Dog, would it still count as his kill?

Later, when he wasn’t plagued by curses, Xu Shu knew the outcome—killed by a trap, so directly making it lethal naturally marked "the person who set the trap."

As it couldn’t sense the person who trapped it leading to its death, it naturally wouldn’t die easily and would fight against death in quicksand, definitely activating all survival skills.

But just now, after these people appeared, Xu Shu suspected that the Corpse Dog hadn’t died in the quicksand!

It was still resisting.

To this, Xu Shu just chuckled.

The Corpse Dog had held out longer than anticipated—apparently it couldn’t sense the one who killed it, so when it couldn’t launch the demonic curse, it would do everything to keep itself alive!

"But even if you can hold out, you can’t withstand me when I’m operating Jingwei!"

I am a Legendary Warrior after all!

The facts proved he was right.

The Corpse Dog did endure for a long time, but it couldn’t last more than half an hour.

Just now, it had died in the quicksand.

Then, located three to four hundred meters away, Tian Wenjin was hit by the demonic curse.

They had entered the range of the curse, and he was possessed.

"Although Tian Wenjin is a Second-order Transcendent, but looking at this, he can probably hold out for at most half a minute before being completely replaced by the Corpse Dog!"

"Opportunity!"

At this moment, Tian Wenjin had already fallen into madness, and the "cage" that was restraining them had actually already collapsed, although the four of them hadn’t realized it yet.

Xu Shu clenched his fist, taking advantage of everyone’s attention being drawn by the mutated Tian Wenjin, he grabbed Gu Pan’s waist, squeezing hard.

"Ow!" Gu Pan suppressed a shout.

"Stand firm, up!"

Xu Shu suddenly turned around, powerfully stepping forward, and with a boom, he forcefully launched the straight-bodied Gu Pan back into the air.

Whoosh!

Gu Pan flew towards the blood-covered wall.

This time, with experience and pre-warning from Xu Shu, she easily adjusted her balance and landed steadily.

Change occurred suddenly and in a flash during a tense moment, actions fluidly connected.

"Damn!"

When the four members of the White Emperor’s sons reacted, Gu Pan had already grabbed a sniper rifle and with a roll, vanished without a trace.

"What should we do?"

"Old Yun, you take Elder Tian and retreat; we’ll deal with this guy!"

"Ah? Me?"

Before the words fell, three white robes had already taken advantageous positions, brandishing curved blade daggers.

At the same time, they shouted in unison: "For our lord’s glory—kill!"

In their furious roars, the three criminals’ eyes suddenly bloodshot, becoming entirely red.

Their muscles inflated like being pumped with air, nearly bursting the seams of their robes.

Almost instantly, they transformed from their normal figures to nearly two-meter-tall super muscular men!

"The criminal’s breakthrough skill, Furious People!"

"So, they are now First Rank! They’re close combat type too?"

Xu Shu pondered the information Gu Pan had just mentioned and then felt his anger rise.

You shadowy creatures playing Hulk transformations before a Warrior, huh?

Boom!

In the next instant, without any warning, Xu Shu sprinted like a 100-meter dash, leaving behind a fan-shaped pit where he had stomped on the ground.

"So fast!"

"Wait..."

The two criminals were inexplicably shocked, discovering one of their brothers was missing.

Hurriedly looking back, they saw that the fellow had been launched away by Xu Shu, head-driving him about forty or fifty meters away.

This attack, a creation of Xu Shu, the Rocket Headbutt!

"Ugh!" The criminal’s abdomen was completely pulverized by the blow, as he spat blood and shockingly cried:

"Warrior! He’s a Warrior!"

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Shu’s figure had appeared again.

With an unfazed pursuit, he caught up with the still-reeling criminal, clenched his fist—

"Die!"

Warrior, basic attack!

The target was the enemy’s head.

With a solid punch, Xu Shu was confident he could explode it.

But, with a "swoosh," the criminal, already launched and weightless, turned into a shadow and swiftly moved across the ground.

Criminal, shadow stealth!

Xu Shu hit the brakes urgently, seeing the fleeing shadow. Annoyed yet inspired, he pulled out two steel bars and threw them.

Throwing Skill!

The two steel bars emitted whooshing sounds as they tore through the air, one on each side, embedding into the ground and the shadow.

"Boom, boom!"

The ground was shattered, but the shadow remained unharmed and continued to rapidly escape, reaching its two accomplices and revealing the body of the criminal with the pulverized abdomen.

His face was pale; clearly, having been caught by a Warrior, the Furious People almost turned into Instantly Dead People, and he was quite shaken.

The maneuver had reached its limit.

But it was over. In a one-on-one close combat, he realized he couldn’t handle this guy, but now there were four against one!

"Damn, disgusting."

Seeing this, Xu Shu also spat in disgust.

He originally thought he could kill all these people by throwing stones, but now it seemed that it wouldn’t work.

However, the one he had headbutted was already half-dead.

The two sides faced off for a second, and several people surrounded him, completely encircling Xu Shu.

The injured man furrowed his brows and said, "Old Yun, come here, forget about Elder Tian for now, this is tricky, let’s join forces to kill him..."

The other quickly stood up and said, "Okay, after we kill him, I want to find that little man and keep him for a bit of fun—!"

Bang!

As soon as he finished speaking, this incorrectly oriented Mr. Yun suddenly moved, but was still a moment too late. His head was penetrated, and he fell to the ground, dead on the spot.

"Ah~"

"Damn! A sniper!"

A roar erupted, and the remaining three suddenly turned into shadows, retracting into the ground and teleporting to a distant spot, hiding behind some obstacles.

But just then, an angry roar sounded.

The three turned their heads at the sound, and almost simultaneously exclaimed in horror:

"Tian Wenjin, fuck your mother!"

"What the hell are you doing?!"

Click clack. Click clack.

Hearing the curses, the "Tian Wenjin" covered in red fur raised his head, revealing a face with eye sockets turned into blood holes.

He was chewing on half a human brain, showing a mocking smile: "Chirp chirp chirp~"

Yang God·Corpse Dog!

Its possession was complete. The Second-order Transcendent, Tian Wenjin, was thus tricked and killed by a First Rank monster, completely annihilated.

"Damn, he’s been tainted by the monster!"

"What’s wrong with that kid, why can he control the monster!"

"What do we do now?"

The expressions of the three fluctuated uncertainly.

At the start of the encounter, two of them had died, including the strongest among them, the Second-order Transcendent Tian Wenjin.

This directly sapped their will to continue fighting, giving rise to thoughts of retreat.

At least, if they decided to flee now, it seemed the enemy couldn’t stop them, but they had to act quickly.

"Let’s go!"

"Wait, don’t rush! Look!"

"Something’s not right, this monster isn’t helping him."

During their exchange, the Corpse Dog "Tian Wenjin" faced Xu Shu, shaking its head and scratching at the ground, crying out, "Kuku chirp chirp chirp!"

"Tch. Damn it!"

Xu Shu furrowed his brows.

Although he couldn’t understand the monster’s dog language, he could clearly see that the creature was cursing.

It was directing its hatred towards him!

The killing point for setting up the trap was indeed credited to Tian Wenjin.

But now, it was clear the Corpse Dog was no fool.

It knew who its real enemy was.

So, although it had eaten the brain of a member of the Salvation Army, it was merely attracted by the brain stem that had oozed out.

Now, it had started to attack Xu Shu fiercely; the monster held grudges!

Xu Shu remained silent.

The three Salvation Army "criminals" had indeed made it difficult for him.

However, with the sniper support of Gu Pan, he was entirely confident of winning.

But now, with the Corpse Dog turning against him to help the criminals attack him, Xu Shu felt the situation was tricky.

It truly was a case of what made him successful, now leading to his downfall.

"This is really bad now..."

But with Gu Pan’s sniping, him facing three alone didn’t frighten him at all.

It just meant his chances of success had slightly decreased.

It depended on whether he could withstand the damage until Gu Pan shot them all down!

He had the chance to eliminate them all.

These guys had just experienced Xu Shu’s straightforward attack method, but they had no idea how much damage he could take!

With Jingwei activated, what could they do to him?

Just then, the injured criminal shouted, "You handle him, I’ll avenge Old Yun!"

Saying that, he immediately submerged into the ground, taking a shadowy path and rushing towards where Gu Pan was hiding, instantly darting out.

"Damn? Stay here!"

Now, Gu Pan was just a regular person. If he were caught up to, he would undoubtedly be killed!

Xu Shu’s eyelids twitched, and he chased after him, determined not to give him a chance to kill Gu Pan.

However, at that moment, the Corpse Dog laughed with a chirp, and its sharp tongue lashed out.

"Damn it."

Seeing its ferocious momentum, Xu Shu didn’t dare to be careless. He had experienced the power of the Corpse Dog’s tongue sword; it could slice through steel.

Therefore, he could only defend himself with Jingwei where he stood.

Amidst the "clang, clang, clang" of explosive sounds, the tongue sword danced wildly, forcing Xu Shu to a halt.

Although his defense wasn’t broken, his steps were stopped!

The other two seeing this, also leaped out, their muscular bodies wielding short knives thrusting at Xu Shu: "Where do you think you’re going!"

The other bitterly said, "Kid, wait and see your brother’s head, let you experience the pain of losing a brother!"

Even in their "Furious People" state, they couldn’t confront a Warrior directly.

But the situation was different now.

With the bizarre Corpse Dog leading the attack, a comrade pursuing the sniper, and them outnumbering their opponent, they had both the hope and ability to kill this young man on the spot!

The scales of victory had completely tilted in their favor.

A red-haired monster, the Corpse Dog, and two criminal First Order Transcendents weirdly teamed up, launching a relentless attack on Xu Shu.

Xu Shu was forced into an immobile position.

Just at that moment.

He glanced sideways.

He saw, not far to the side, a dignified figure with Floating Cannons mounted behind it, appearing quietly there.

It was Primordial Spirit·Wisdom: Narrow Sleeve Guanyin!

She had somehow also come from afar, perhaps having been watching the battle for a long time.

And at the end of her gaze...

Xu Shu distinctly felt she was looking at him.

She wanted to kill him.

She indeed couldn’t forget the harm he had caused her!

Xu Shu gasped in shock.

With fierce tigers ahead and pursuers behind, this truly was a net cast from heaven to earth, a dead end!
