Transcendent Ember

Chapter 67 The Heartbreaker

"A contract with Shengjing, a contract!"

In Daniel's camp, Mr. Luo Jieni got out while Mr. Daniel was dragging Zhu Gang, and sent a contract invitation to Zhou Xinyi who was not far away.

Zhou Xinyi agreed, and an extraordinary force established a contract between the two.

"Mr. Xinyi, borrow a supernatural item."

Teacher Luo Jieni activated the ability of "Yue with Shengjing". With one move, he borrowed an extraordinary item from Zhou Xinyi's soul crown, which was a barometer.

"Lomonosov's barometer, atmospheric pressure!"

Teacher Luo Jieni modified the atmospheric pressure on Zhu Gang.Immediately, Zhu Gang felt a surge of pressure, and the surrounding air seemed to turn into a viscous liquid, squeezing towards him.

boom!
Zhu Gang's shoulders sank, and he half-kneeled, his knees sank deeply into the ground, the wound on Mige's body opened again, and blood gushed wildly.

His complexion changed, and he realized that something was wrong. A thick ink light bloomed from the tyrannical goblin body, trying to fight against the ubiquitous air pressure.

"Oh, Wei Pi's thousand-step crossbow, piercing!" Mr. Daniel seized this opportunity and summoned his most powerful extraordinary item again.

call out! ——

A crossbow arrow as thick as a baby's arm pierced through the 'Mongolian Iron Shield' that Zhu Gang hastily summoned, and also pierced Zhu Gang's chest.

"what!"

A big hole appeared in Zhu Gang's chest, and he was as angry as a spring, but he still did not die.

His facial features were distorted and his expression was ferocious: "Let's die together, Adams' bat bomb!"

In his purple soul light crown, a black and gray bat specimen flew out, and the bat was carrying a bomb.

Zhu Gang injected the power of the soul, and the specimen was 'resurrected' and divided into ten parts. These bomb-carrying bats flew out with unpredictable trajectories.

The extraordinary ability of 'Adams' Bat Bomb' is 'Air Strike', and the negative ability is 'Indistinguishable from friend or foe'.The trajectories of these bats are unpredictable and uncontrollable. It may kill the enemy, or it may kill itself...

Teacher Luo Jieni changed color and took immediate action.

"Xuanzang's monk's shoes, go west!" Wearing a golden light, he quickly teleported Mr. Daniel, Teacher Zhou Xinyi, Jiang Yunyun and other teachers and students to a collapsed corner.Then, he borrowed a supernatural item from Zhou Xinyi under the name of "Appointment with Shengjing".

"The Freighter Changci, literally means: block!" He borrowed the "Freighter Changci" from Zhou Xinyi, and the only money he had on him began to be deducted at double speed...

boom! ——

A bat bumped into the freighter "Longci", and the high explosives carried on it exploded, causing the huge freighter to shake and burst into flames.

Fortunately, Mr. Luo Jieni is only a little bit away from the third-rank Dzogchen. When he used the "Changci Freighter", the defense power of this freighter was also at the third-rank level. Although the bat bomb was fierce, it did not shake the huge freighter after all.

But others aren't so lucky...

Zhu Gang was the first to bear the brunt. He was in the middle of the two bat bomb explosion locations, and the two groups of flames engulfed him almost at the same time...

The other adventurers, bandits, and Moratu in the camp were all thrown off their feet by the explosion...

……

Zhu Gang's bandit group was wiped out, but Mr. Daniel's camp and the adventurers who were repaired in the camp also suffered heavy casualties, which can be called a tragic victory.

boom!
A figure descended from the sky. It was a burly man who looked like an iron tower. Behind him was a black, purple, red and gold four-fold soul crown, setting him off like a mythical King Kong.

The lone thief, Hou Long.

He licked his lips and looked at the corpses on the ground: "Zhu Gang is dead? What a waste!"

Another figure landed down, the elderly Liu Zhuo, whose clothes were rotten into strips of cloth, his hair and beard were all on fire, a cloud of black air remained on his forehead, and the crown of soul behind him was crumbling...

Liu Zhuo is a new fourth-rank supernatural, obviously not an opponent of a senior fourth-rank superhuman like Hou Long. Liu Zhuo should have suffered a loss in the battle just now... Teacher Luo Jieni made a judgment instantly, and his face was solemn.

"Hou Long, let's go. Zhu Gang and his bandits have been wiped out, and your plan has failed. As long as you retreat, we will pretend that what happened today never happened." Liu Zhuo gasped.

"Hey!" Hou Long sneered with disdain, "Do you think that without Zhu Gang, I wouldn't be able to take down your little camp?"

Hou Long pointed at Liu Zhuo: "Old man, how many tricks can you take from me?"

Xiacheng, the second largest city of the Xinhua Dynasty, second only to the capital Shangjing.

Liu Ming is 27 years old this year. He was born in an ordinary family, and his talents in reading and spiritual practice are not bad. He was admitted to the third-ranked university of Xinhua Dynasty, and successfully passed the examination of Xinhua Dynasty's public officials when he graduated, becoming a public official with a establishment personnel.

But when deciding where to go, Liu Ming didn't go to the department he wanted. With no background, he was transferred to Xiacheng Prison and became a... prison guard.

Prison guard is a job with little future. Liu Ming has been in the job for more than five years, and his salary is only 48 Xinhua dollars per month. If it is not possible to charge a little fee when the prisoner's family visits, he may not be able to support his family at all.

On this day, Liu Ming was on the big night shift. There was a special prisoner in the prison who had been here for nearly five years. He didn't know what he had committed or his background. He was named and locked up in a special cell.

Even later, the higher-ups specifically instructed the prisoner to try his best to meet whatever requirements he had.

Humanized management...

But just over a month ago, the prisoner suddenly wanted to go online on a whim. Liu Ming and his companions asked the warden for instructions and gave him a tablet computer.

This is a bad thing, the prisoner suddenly disappeared...

The warden shook, his face pale with fright.

The high-ranking officials of Xiacheng came here one after another after hearing the news. Liu Ming swore that he had never seen so many high-ranking officials in his life...

In the end, if the criminal hadn't reappeared suddenly, Liu Ming and his companions would have been used as scapegoats...

The prisoner's special treatment was cancelled, and the entire cell was covered with layers of seals, and a high-ranking official ordered the warden to organize several teams to take turns monitoring day and night...

Liu Ming is one of them.

For more than a month, the prisoner still disappeared from time to time, but the prison guards gradually figured out the pattern. Every time he disappeared, he would eventually reappear in the same place...

No one knows where the prisoner went when he disappeared, and this has become a mystery in Xiacheng Prison.Even once, a high-ranking official agreed to the sentence, but the prisoner's bones were very hard, his mouth was tight, and he didn't ask what he wanted...

Gradually, the prison guards no longer faced the enemy as they did at the beginning. They would occasionally even chat with the prisoner and tell him what happened outside...

everything is normal.

Apart from……

squeak! ——

Amidst the teeth-stinging rubbing sound, Liu Ming, who was on the shift and had endocrine disorders, squinted his eyes and pushed open the old door. This small home, together with the three relatives in the family, was Liu Ming's inner safe haven...

But when he opened the door today, Liu Ming was stunned by what he saw: there was no breakfast prepared for him by his mother, no lights for his younger brother to study early, only the eye-catching blood stains on the ground that stretched all the way to his younger brother's room...

Liu Ming's heart skipped a beat, his eyes widened, and he hurried to his brother's room:
The thin brother was lying on the bed, his face was pale, and he fell into a coma. His two hands and two legs were all broken, and the simple bandaging could not stop the blood from oozing...

My father sat on the edge of the bed and sighed, and my mother kept wiping away her tears...

"What's going on?" An anger rose from the bottom of his heart, and Liu Ming's eyes instantly turned red.

"A Ming, your brother..." When the mother saw Liu Ming, she couldn't stop crying, "Your brother was beaten by the son of the nobleman."

"You..." The father blamed, "Why are you telling him this, son of a nobleman, it's useless to tell him!"

"Then... what about Aning?" the mother wailed.

The son of a nobleman... Liu Ming remembered that not long ago, his younger brother mentioned that he had a girl he liked in school, but it seemed that a nobleman had also taken a fancy to that girl.

Liu Ming's face was gloomy, without saying a word, he turned and went back to his room, and took out a box from the locked cabinet.

"Go to the hospital first and treat Ah Ning." Liu Ming handed the box containing all his savings to his parents.

"But..." Mother hesitated, "But you saved this money, A Ming, with great difficulty. You and Xiaojing need to rely on this money to get married..."

"It's important to treat Ah Ning first!" Liu Ming interrupted his mother's words, and said a little irritably, "Don't worry about the money. If it's not enough, I still have something to do."

He couldn't help but recall that special conversation, the sentence that special prisoner said to him:
"Well, it's not a lot of money, maybe a few thousand gold tongbao..."

…………

…………

At night, Liu Ming, who had been in the hospital all day, returned to Xiacheng Prison to be on duty.

In the middle of the night, he sent away his sleepy companions, came to the prison door, and saw that special prisoner through the heavy seals.

The latter is closing his eyes and meditating.

Liu Ming sat on the edge of the cell, with his back facing the monitor, his posture as usual.Suddenly, he said in a deep voice, "Does what you said last time still count?"

"Heh!" The young man in the prison uniform didn't open his eyes or even move his mouth, but his voice rang in Liu Ming's ears, "Have you figured it out?"

Liu Ming shook his head: "No, it's just... I need money."

The young man in prison uniform shrugged slightly: "The effect is the same."

Liu Ming looked back vigilantly, and said in a low voice, "Tell me the address."

"No hurry." said the young man in prison uniform, "You swear to 'Santa Filinna' first, otherwise, if you don't keep your word, I can't do anything to you now."

I haven't heard of Santa Felina... Liu Ming frowned, and the little scheme in his heart was seen through.

Helpless, he could only swear according to the instructions of the young man in prison uniform.

"Received." A feminine voice sounded in the mind of the young man in prison uniform.

"Can you still bind him with an oath?" The young man conveyed his doubts consciously.

"Heh, don't you believe me?" The feminine voice was a little annoyed, "Although I can only live in your body, it's more than enough to bind a prison guard who is not bound to a supernatural item with an oath, okay?"

"Don't be angry, don't be angry..." The young man hurriedly said, "Of course I trust you, just like I believed what you predicted back then, this prison guard is the one who is most likely to help us... You see, I have no one else. You seduced him by choosing, and it turns out that you are right..."

"You'd better be like this!" said the feminine voice with lingering anger, "Also, you'd better make sure that what you got in that space can help us get out of here, I remind you, you only have one chance. "
