The Truth of Magic

282 Chapter 281/breaking the deadlock

In an instant, Zhao Xu realized that the barrier of immortality spell that allowed him to disguise himself as an undead creature had been dispelled.

then, the statue started to shake even more violently. a lot of the sand on the statue fell off and landed heavily on zhao xu’s body before shattering into pieces.

” the king of human revenge, the immortal master of killing, and the god of death who walks the world. ” Zhao Xu immediately started reading out the honorific name that the God of Slaughter, Edmund, had given himself before he became a God. He had read about it in a book called ” the path to godhood.

After he finished his prayer, a mysterious black light suddenly appeared from the statue. It started from the statue’s arm and started spreading to Zhao Xu’s entire body.

Zhao Xu’s eyes went black.

then, the scene in front of him turned into a dilapidated and rotten dungeon. in front of him, he was wrapped in an old and moldy thin blanket. a few fleas were flying around, and under him was a nest made of straw.

In front of him, there was a lifted wooden board, and below it was a tunnel entrance that had already been opened. A thin and small old man was sitting beside the entrance of the tunnel, staring at him.

the man’s eye sockets were sunken, and his prison uniform was already in tatters. only his long beard was still slightly maintained.

what touched zhao xu the most was the old man’s determined expression, but the old man suddenly burst out laughing. ” edmund, you stupid kid. ”

“why do you think that the prosecutor is protecting you? to protect you until you’re in prison? and then eat these rancid steamed buns and drink the soup left from the washing pot every day?”

I’m even guessing that your coveted fiancée is already lying in the bed of your enemy. the old man continued to mock.

zhao xu realized that he was just putting himself into the young man’s perspective, and he didn’t have any control over the other person’s actions.

But after hearing the old man’s sharp words ...

Even though Zhao Xu was separated by a layer, he could feel that the original owner of this body felt as if his entire body was going to start spasming after hearing the old man’s deafening question.

he had to face the cruel truth that he had been avoiding all this time.

the young man’s hands had been trembling non-stop since the beginning, and even zhao xu was affected by his extreme emotions.

suddenly, the footsteps of a guard came from outside the cell door. the old man suddenly displayed an unimaginably strong body and directly jumped back into the pit to hide.

At this moment, Zhao Xu’s consciousness also trembled, and then he realized that he had gained the power to control this body.

The people outside the cell even began to hear the whistles of the guards.

zhao xu immediately took a big step forward and covered the hole he had just dug up with a cover. then he pulled over a thin cover and covered it with the bare wooden board.

at this moment, the metal plate of the observation window on the cell door was pushed open from the outside. he saw zhao xu sitting on his back on the ground, and even the thin blanket had been pulled to the other side. he immediately asked, ” “what are you doing?”

Zhao Xu’s eyes were fixed on the straw blanket that he had just pulled away from the blanket. He muttered to himself, ” I clearly saw a Spider here just now. How did it disappear? it’s obviously a delicious protein. zhao xu even licked his dry lips as he spoke.

The jailer revealed a disgusted expression and directly let go of the cover. He turned to inspect another room and mumbled, ” “another one has gone crazy.”

when he heard the jailer’s footsteps moving further away, zhao xu let out a light breath. he had finally managed to hide it.

However, he suddenly felt the world spin around him.

zhao xu noticed that the layout of the cell in front of him had changed again.

compared to his cell, the walls of this cell were engraved with several holy emblems and prayer symbols of gods. at the same time, there was a wooden cabinet with a faded paint, stuffed with several dirty books that were so dirty that they had turned black.

It meant that he had come to the old man’s cell, and even the wooden board covering the tunnel had been covered back up.

As for the old man in front of him, compared to when he had first met him, his face was as pale as gold, and his whole body seemed to be only breathing but not breathing.

Suddenly, the old man reached out and grabbed Zhao Xu’s arm tightly as he shouted, ” “anta! you must go to anta! there, the god of our lord has ascended to heaven and is looking down on the world.”

When Zhao Xu heard the name ” anta, ” the land of the sleeping, he knew that the old man in front of him, who was barely breathing, had mistook him for that Edmund. Or rather, he was the old man and was just occupying his ” body.

don’t forget the incantation I told you to recite. When the crow’s seventh claw touches The Mystic Wood and caws, ” the old man said as his eyes opened wide. Then he looked at Zhao Xu as if he couldn’t accept this and passed away.

zhao xu was feeling a little sad as well. even though the old man had just finished the first line of the spell and the rest of the spell had already started echoing in his mind, he still didn’t feel any joy at the moment of this man’s death.

he could even feel that the old man’s body was gradually stiffening.

at this moment, the sound of footsteps continued to come from outside the door. zhao xu looked at the shadow that he shouldn’t be in and immediately ran to the corner.

He crouched down and hid in the tunnel. Then, he heard the door of the cell being opened, followed by the jailer’s cry of alarm.

slowly, everything in front of him continued to change.

This time, he was still hiding in the hole, leaning against the gap between the bed and the ground, observing the difference in time.

At this time, the old man who taught him, the priest of death, was still wrapped in a body bag.

The room regained its calm after the doctor left.

Zhao Xu’s heart turned cold as well. He knew that after a while, the guards would get the corpse transporter to take the body bag away.

and then there would be new prisoners.

no!

When the next day came, the prison guards would have their hands free to clean up the priest’s room and see if there was anything.

then, this tunnel would be directly exposed.

Even though Zhao Xu wasn’t the original owner of this body, he could feel the fate of the owner of this body tomorrow.

After the tunnel was discovered, he was tortured to death.

for the rest of her life, she would basically be tied up by iron chains that were fixed to the corners of the wall.

Even after that, he could only live in the ‘confinement room’ that was only enough for him to half squat.

at this moment, zhao xu’s eyes kept looking at the “body bag.”

All of a sudden, he made up his mind and rushed out. He used the bone knife that he had painstakingly produced on the spot and cut open the body bag that had already been sealed.

Zhao Xu carried the dead and stiff priest out of the room and carried him back to his cell through the tunnel. Then, he covered him with a blanket and made the priest face the door and window sideways to show that he was sleeping.

Disguised as him, Edmund, and threw it.

and zhao xu seized every second of this thrilling moment and immediately rolled and crawled back to the prison cell that the priest had just been in.

He covered the hole and hid in the body bag that he had just cut open.

at the same time, in this dark room, zhao xu took out a fishbone needle and used the thread that he had taken off from his prison uniform to slowly seal the body bag again.

after confirming the death of the priest, the movers would arrive soon to take the body bag away.

It also meant that Zhao Xu had to give it his all and make the best use of every last second.

at this moment, he was biting the bone knife that he had just cut open, and his forehead was already dripping with sweat.

although he did not know what had happened, after hearing the priest’s description of the man in front of him, he was still very calm.

whether what was happening now was a memory or reality, he didn’t even have the time to think about it.

All he wanted was for the man in this body to have a chance to live and seek revenge.

“Thump.” At this moment, the iron gate of the prison was opened.

Zhao Xu had just finished the last needle, and he didn’t dare to move at all. During the last few steps, he kept using the needle to move around in circles. Finally, he pulled the needle and made the knot tight. He didn’t want the opening to split open when he moved the needle.

At this moment, Zhao Xu could feel the two of them each holding onto a corner of the bag. After they lifted him up, they dragged him out.

at this moment, zhao xu’s entire body was in an extremely relaxed state, and he didn’t even need to make a sound.

In the end, after a series of trembles, Zhao Xu didn’t know how far he had been carried, but his entire body was suddenly thrown off the ground. He was lifted up, then dropped down again.

he had been left behind, which meant that the opportunity had finally come.

however, the entire fall lasted more than three seconds!

it had exceeded the height of any burial pit!

then, there was a huge impact. zhao xu felt as if his bones were broken, and the entire body bag was being crushed.

He had been thrown into the sea.

Zhao Xu immediately took out his bone Cleaver and was about to slash at the hole in the bag, but the bone-chilling seawater quickly seeped in through the hole in the bag. It wrapped around Zhao Xu’s entire body.

but even though zhao xu could feel himself falling into the sea and he could feel the pain of falling into the sea, he was still in pain.

however, he didn’t panic at all. he still followed his original plan and used the bone knife to cut open the bag. then, like a frog kicking its legs, he constantly swayed in the sea and slowly floated up.

In the end, just as Zhao Xu was about to reach the surface of the sea, he suddenly charged forward.

And then, Zhao Xu saw the tall, solemn statue of the god of Slaughter standing in front of him again.

at this moment, he looked at the back of his hand. there were three more divine patterns.
