60: Chapter 60 The Heavenly Prison Scripture is Completed to Suppress All Evil; The Second Prince Secretly Possesses Military Crossbows
"Pfft."
He spat out a mouthful of blood, his face full of shock.
"You... exactly what Realm are you at?!"
Gu Han walked forward slowly, every step feeling as if it were stomping on Zheng Jun's heart.
"Why ask so many questions when you are a dying man?"
Zheng Jun's eyes flashed with a trace of madness as he suddenly took out a jade Talisman from his bosom and crushed it.
"Please, My Lord, take action!"
The moment the jade Talisman shattered, an extremely cold and sinister aura suddenly descended.
Gu Han's pupils constricted, and his figure retreated rapidly by three zhang.
"Boom!"
The ground where he had been standing exploded, creating a deep pit a zhang wide. Amidst the flying gravel, a blood-red figure slowly emerged.
The newcomer wore a dark red robe, his face sinister, and his hands were as scarlet and terrifying as if they had been soaked in blood.
Most eye-catching was a vertical mark on his forehead, as if a third eye had yet to open.
"Du... Lord Du."
Zheng Jun scrambled to crawl to the man's feet.
"This Little Beast killed my brother and slaughtered my gang members. Please, My Lord, make the decision for me!"
Gu Han's expression was grave. His Divine Sense swept over the opponent: Mortal Transformation Realm Peak.
Moreover, his aura was sinister and strange; he was definitely no ordinary Cultivator.
"Trash."
"Someone has come to your doorstep, and you still can't beat them."
Du Tianxiong kicked Zheng Jun away and fixed his blood-red eyes on Gu Han.
"To be able to force Fatty Zheng to beg for help, you do have some skill."
"State your name. I am Du Tianxiong, the Ruthless Flower Destroyer. I do not kill nobodies."
"Ruthless Flower Destroyer?"
Gu Han couldn't help but find it funny, the corners of his mouth curling into a mocking arc.
"With your appearance, you deserve to call yourself that?"
"In my opinion, 'Sow Rooting a Tree' would be more appropriate."
Du Tianxiong's face instantly darkened like ink, and the vertical mark on his forehead trembled slightly.
"Little Beast, you're courting death!"
He flicked his sleeves violently, and three bloody rays of light shot through the air, heading straight for Gu Han's throat, heart, and Dantian—three vital points.
A cold light flashed in Gu Han's eyes. His figure moved three steps to the side like a ghost, the bloody light grazing past his hem.
In the blink of an eye, it left three bowl-sized holes in the wall behind him, the edges of the blue bricks sizzling as they were corroded.
"Tell me, why did you get angry?"
"Mr. Pig."
Gu Han mocked again.
"Courting death!"
Du Tianxiong shouted angrily, and the vertical mark on his forehead suddenly opened, revealing a blood-red vertical pupil.
Three bloody rays of light shot out from the pupil, turning into three ferocious blood snakes in mid-air, opening their fangs to pounce on Gu Han.
A trace of surprise flashed in Gu Han's eyes; he hadn't expected this "Sow Rooting a Tree" to actually have some tricks.
His figure flashed like a ghost, easily dodging the blood snakes' pounce, while his right hand slashed horizontally with his long blade, cutting the three blood snakes in half.
"Is that all you've got?"
Gu Han sneered.
The severed blood snakes didn't dissipate but instead turned into nine smaller blood snakes, attacking from different angles.
Gu Han frowned slightly. He circulated the blood-gold True Qi within his body, and dark gold patterns appeared on his skin, forcefully withstanding this wave of attacks.
"Sizzle, sizzle" sounds rang out.
The blood snakes crashed into Gu Han, but it was like hitting a wall of copper and iron, and they scattered one after another.
"What?!"
Du Tianxiong's pupils constricted. Even experts who had just entered the Heavenly Human Realm wouldn't dare to take his Blood Snake Heart-Devouring Art head-on, yet the masked man before him was completely unharmed.
Gu Han patted the spot where the blood snakes had hit him, his tone flippant.
"Sow Rooting a Tree, your tickling skills are not bad."
"Bastard!"
Du Tianxiong was furious. His blood-red robe fluttered without wind, and his hands quickly formed seals.
"Blood Fiend Palm!"
A blood-red palm print, a zhang in size, condensed out of thin air, slapping toward Gu Han with a pungent, fishy wind.
Wherever the palm print passed, the blue bricks on the ground shattered, leaving behind black, corroded marks.
A trace of excitement flashed in Gu Han's eyes; it was the perfect time to test the strength of his Dragon-Elephant Spirit Body.
He didn't dodge or evade. He clenched his right fist, the dark gold patterns flowing beneath his skin, and punched toward the blood-red palm print.
"Boom!"
Fist and palm collided, and a wave of Qi exploded. A large hole was punched through the blood-red palm print, and the aftermath sent the surrounding Fierce Tiger Gang Disciples flying several zhang away.
Du Tianxiong retreated three steps, his face full of shock.
"Impossible!"
"You... who exactly are you?"
"Why would you target the small Fierce Tiger Gang?"
Gu Han shook his slightly numb right hand and grinned.
"Looks like you, this sow, only have this much ability."
"Since the exercise is over, I'll send you on your way."
A cold light flared in Gu Han's eyes; he would no longer hold back his strength.
The pressure of the Mortal Transformation Realm Perfection erupted, and the blood-gold True Qi swept through the entire Fierce Tiger Gang headquarters like a tidal wave.
The blue bricks on the ground shattered inch by inch, and the surrounding Fierce Tiger Gang Disciples were struck as if by a heavy blow, collapsing to the ground with blood leaking from their seven orifices.
"Mortal Transformation Realm?!"
"No... this is impossible!"
Zheng Jun's fat body trembled crazily, the flesh on his face shaking like chaff.
He turned his head abruptly to look at Du Tianxiong and roared.
"Lord Du, kill him quickly!"
"He must be a spy sent by someone else!"
Du Tianxiong's blood-red vertical pupils contracted violently, his heart filled with tumultuous waves.
He had been ordered to lurk in the Fierce Tiger Gang specifically to build it into a surprise force for the Second Prince.
If they were truly targeted by someone else, the plan would inevitably be exposed.
By then, other princes would surely attack the Second Prince, destroying the Second Prince's trust in front of Emperor Yuanwu.
Thereby reducing his chances of seizing the throne.
"Regardless of who you are, you must die tonight!"
Du Tianxiong sneered and suddenly flicked his hand, throwing out three blood-red Talismans.
The Talismans exploded in mid-air, turning into a sky full of blood mist, instantly enveloping a radius of ten zhang.
Sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling came from the blood mist, and countless hideous ghost shadows could be faintly seen pouncing on Gu Han.
Gu Han sneered.
"Sow Rooting a Tree, you have quite a few tricks."
He didn't dodge at all, the Heavenly Prison Demon Suppression Scripture within his body roaring into operation.
The two layers of miniature heavenly prison in his Dantian vibrated, and eighteen phantom chains emerged from his body, twisting toward the blood mist like flood dragons.
Wherever the chains passed, the blood mist melted instantly like snow meeting boiling water!
"What?!"
Du Tianxiong was horrified; this was a killer move capable of corroding Cultivators of the Heavenly Human Realm!
"It's my turn."
Gu Han took a step forward, his figure appearing before Du Tianxiong like a ghost.
Dark gold patterns shone on his right fist, the power of the Dragon-Elephant erupted, and he punched toward the opponent's chest.
"Pfft."
Du Tianxiong couldn't react in time, and his chest was pierced straight through.
He looked down at the fist that had passed through his body, his face full of disbelief.
"You... you are a Body Cultivator..."
"Wrong answer."
Gu Han sneered, his fist vibrating.
"Boom!"
Du Tianxiong's body exploded into a blood mist on the spot.
[Slayed a sinful person, plundered 155 remaining remnants of fate]
"Lord Du... is dead?"
Zheng Jun slumped to the ground, his crotch wet.
He suddenly snapped to, scrambling and crawling toward the main hall, screaming hoarsely.
"Quick! Activate the crossbow formation!!"
"Swish, swish, swish."
Dozens of sounds of objects piercing the air suddenly rang out.
Gu Han's Divine Sense swept across, and he saw twenty black-clad crossbowmen emerging from the roof of the main hall.
The crossbow bolts in their hands glinted with a ghostly blue cold light; they were clearly the military's special "Aura-Breaking Crossbows."
"The Second Prince dares to store even military crossbows?"
Gu Han's eyes narrowed.
This type of crossbow bolt was specifically designed to break a Cultivator's Protective Aura; a single volley was enough to heavily injure a Heavenly Human Realm expert.
These military crossbows were heavy weapons of the Great Chu Dynasty.
Anyone who stored them privately would be executed without mercy!
"Little Bastard, go to hell!"
Zheng Jun hid behind the crossbowmen, waving his hand to give the order with a twisted expression.
"Fire!"
"Shoo, shoo, shoo."
The crossbow bolts poured down like a rainstorm, instantly sealing off all of Gu Han's retreat paths.
The tips were coated with deadly poison, creating a pungent, fishy wind as they cut through the air.
"heavenly prison Demon Suppression!"
Gu Han let out a low shout. Blood-gold True Qi surged out, condensing into an illusory prison around his body.
The crossbow bolts shot into the illusory prison, but it was as if they had fallen into a quagmire, their speed decreasing sharply.
"How is this possible?!"
Zheng Jun's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.
