Immortality begins in Goose City

Chapter 74, 9 Crane Feather Strike

This time, it was faster and more impressive.

Murong Xue carried the unconscious Lu Yu and retreated step by step until she reached the wall, where she could barely stand.

She opened her eyes wide and stared at the two intertwined dark figures in the center of the room.

too fast.

It was so fast that you could only see afterimages.

Ma Da was completely unlike a human; he seemed to have no bones, his body could twist at will, and his attacks came from tricky and bizarre angles.

His snake scales were occasionally struck by the blade, sparks flying, but he was never seriously injured.

Huang Shujian moved with agility, leaping high and low, his liver and gallbladder slicing out streaks of dark light.

He was like a crane swooping down on a venomous snake.

A crane and a snake fought to the death.

The air currents rolled and the strong winds blew everywhere.

The pieces of tables and chairs in the room were rolled up and flew through the air.

Murong Xue's eyes stung from the strong wind, and she could only squint to see.

The flash of a knife, the shadow of a snake, sparks, and blood.

Intertwined, they form a bizarre and dangerous scene.

at last.

A clear, melodious cry of a crane echoed in the room.

Huang Shujian leaped high into the air, and the faint phantom of a white crane appeared behind him.

The phantom figure spread its wings, its posture elegant.

Then, the phantom split into nine.

In a daze, it seemed as if nine cranes were dancing in the air at the same time, each with a different posture, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.

For the first time, fear appeared in Ma Da's vertical pupils as he lay on the ground.

He felt a deadly threat.

Without the slightest hesitation, he turned and fled.

His body slid close to the floor, moving like a snake, so fast that it left a trail of afterimages as he lunged towards the room's window.

However, the nine crane shadows in the sky suddenly merged into one.

It transformed into a solid crane silhouette, soaring through the air with its wings folded, and swooped down like an arrow released from a bow.

The long sword, like a beak, pecked at the fleeing Ma Da.

The Limit Breaking Technique of "Nine Heavens Crane Shadow Technique" - Nine Crane Flying Feather Strike!

"laugh--!"

The sound of the blade piercing flesh was clearly audible.

Time seemed to stand still, and the dust settled slowly.

Murong Xue opened her eyes wide and saw Huang Shujian standing quietly in the center of the room.

The blade in his hand, the entire hilt, was embedded in Ma Da's chest, protruding from his back, blood dripping from the tip.

Ma Da's body hung on the knife, twitching slightly. His mouth was open, as if he wanted to say something, but only blood and foam oozed from the corner of his mouth.

The snake scales on his body peeled away one by one, revealing the pale human skin underneath.

The vertical pupil gradually dilates, reverting to a human eye.

The madness, ferocity, and fear in his eyes gradually disappeared.

In the end, only emptiness remained.

died.

Huang Shujian flicked his wrist and drew his long sword.

Ma Da's body fell limply to the ground with a dull thud.

Blood gushed from his chest, quickly spreading a dark red stain on the floor.

Ma Da is dead.

The body lay in a pool of blood, its eyes open, pupils dilated, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Huang Shujian stood beside the corpse, his brows slightly furrowed.

No?

He turned around and walked to the giant python that was not completely dead.

The python's carcass lay sprawled on the ground, like a giant tattered sack, blood still gushing from the wound on its abdomen, mixed with mucus, flowing all over the ground.

Huang Shujian gripped the liver and gallbladder in his hand, aimed at the python's lower jaw, and thrust it forward.

"laugh--"

The blade pierced through the flesh and bones, and plunged into the python's head.

The python's body twitched slightly, then it became completely still.

Huang Shujian drew his knife, wiped away the blood, and closed his eyes again to feel the sensation.

still none.

The free attribute points remain unchanged.

"It shouldn't be like this..."

He muttered to himself, a hint of confusion in his voice.

Neither the snake-like Martha nor the giant python that can withstand bullets provides any free attribute points.

Based on the previous experience with the strange infant, these extraordinary beings should have gained free attribute points after being killed.

unless……

Huang Shujian opened his eyes, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the corpses of Ma Da and the python.

"Those two...aren't they considered demons or evil spirits?"

A soft groan came from behind him. Huang Shujian turned around, and Lu Yu had woken up.

She lay on the ground, pale-faced, her forehead covered in cold sweat, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion.

When she saw Huang Shujian, her pupils contracted sharply, and she quickly put the broken sword behind her back.

"He already knows."

Murong Xue said helplessly, then added, "I also saw the wound on your thigh."

Lu Yu's body stiffened abruptly, and she instinctively squeezed her legs together, covering her skirt with her hands, her movements somewhat flustered.

Huang Shujian just turned around and his gaze fell directly on Lu Yu's face.

His gaze was calm, so calm it was almost cold.

Lu Yu felt a chill run down her spine from that gaze and instinctively shrank behind Murong Xue.

"Young Master Huang..." Murong Xue began, "Xiao Yu is conscious now."

"She's not the same as she was in that state."

"You can think of it as... two people."

Huang Shujian remained silent, as if deep in thought.

The room fell silent.

"Thump...thump..."

A soft knocking sound came from below the cellar.

Murong Xue's eyes lit up, as if she had remembered something.

She stood up, walked quickly to the cellar entrance, squatted down, grabbed the handle of the cellar door, and pulled hard.

"Creak—"

The cellar door was pulled open, revealing a dark opening below.

A musty and fishy smell wafted from the cellar.

Immediately afterwards, two small figures emerged from the cellar.

It's those two little monkeys.

They jumped out of the cellar, stood on the floor, and looked around blankly.

When they saw the bodies of Martha and the python, they were stunned at first, then their eyes widened suddenly.

"Squeak!"

One of the monkeys cried out in surprise, and the other joined in. They danced and circled the corpse as if in celebration.

But soon, they saw the little monkey covered in slime on the ground.

Two little monkeys immediately rushed over, squatted down beside the little monkey, and hurriedly cleaned the slime off its body.

Their movements were careful and gentle, as if afraid of hurting their companion. One of the little monkeys stuck out its tongue and licked the sticky substance off its companion's face. The other gently brushed away the clumps of sticky substance stuck to its fur with its paw.

"Squeak..."

The rescued baby monkey let out a weak cry, slowly opened its eyes, and looked at its two companions beside it.

The three little monkeys huddled together, making "squeak squeak squeak" sounds, as if they were communicating or crying.

Huang Shujian and Murong Xue watched this scene in silence.

They all understood that these three little monkeys were not real monkeys. They were children transformed into this state by evil magic.

The people who harmed them are dead now, but their lives can never be brought back.

A heavy atmosphere filled the room.

"Um..." Lu Yu said hoarsely, "What about the child who was kidnapped?"

Murong Xue was stunned for a moment, then realized what she meant and asked Huang Shujian, "That sugar-blowing girl...did you kill her?"

Huang Shujian shook his head.

"I only killed that guy with the triangular eyes."

"I didn't see her when I came over."

Murong Xue frowned.

"That's not right... I clearly saw her go to the backyard to look for you just now."

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing wariness in each other's eyes.

If the busty woman really went to the backyard to look for Huang Shujian, and Huang Shujian didn't see her...

That's only one possibility.

She ran away!
