Chapter 715 Breathing

 However, the crisis did not come.

The lung-shaped brass door opens inward, which corresponds to the main hall of the huge stone temple. A large number of Gu Dragon Lung practitioners are sitting cross-legged on futons, with their hands folded on their chests and clasped in a circle.

In addition to those who have dragon lungs, there are also some patients who have not transformed into dragons. Their lungs are either suspended in the hollow chest or outside the body, and they all maintain a cross-legged posture.

William could tell at a glance that this group of people seemed to be practicing something. Their breathing was light but regular.

The most important point is that more than 70% of the people who sit on the futons to practice are silver circle patients, numbering nearly a hundred. Such a force would be quite terrifying in the old world.

 With the arrival of the four William men, and with the words of the ‘Lord’,

These people stopped meditating and practicing, and turned to look at the four people at the door.

At the same time, an ancient crutch slowly came out from the depths of the hall.

But I only saw the crutches, not the legs... A withered and corpse-stained arm held the end of the crutches, and a purple cloak covered the hanging body.

  Without legs,

 The arms are only connected to a pair of lungs emitting purple smoke and the old man's head connected to the trachea. There are dragon scale structures on the cheeks.

 Careful observation will reveal that this old man is like a band conductor, his breathing affects the breathing of everyone present.

　　When this person appeared, Lorian, who had been playing the role of a blind patient, slowly opened his eyes and stared at this strange existence with full moon eyes.

The other party did not exude any smell of germs and could not be evaluated based on the patient's rank, but the breath exhaled by the old man made Lorian feel a different kind of threat.

Nash also tilted his head. He had killed many strong men before, including some reckless silver circle patients.

 You can get the basic information of the other party just by observing him, but he can't see anything through the old man in front of him, who is not even physically perfect. It seems that the method used by the sick person has failed.

Dentist Jessica took a step back instinctively. The phage in her mouth felt a sense of oppression, as if the mysterious old man in front of her could threaten her body.

 Only William present could assess the old man's identity, but he did not say it directly.

 Instead choose to confirm with another consciousness in the body.

　　　　Yichen, this is it! 』

　　　『You are right, William... is the so-called [God], or a guy who has obtained the "godhead". However, what is in front of me is just an incarnation for the coming.

But it’s much more powerful than the Buddha Mother you and Catherine dealt with.

This should be a true god, and he is a true **** who specializes in internal organs. However, this incarnation is really shabby and is so broken. I don’t know if it was beaten like this or was forcibly weakened in order to come to your world.

in addition,

 The danger is not here, this guy doesn't seem to want to kill you. The real danger is in the center of this city. You may try to communicate with this old guy first, maybe you can get some benefits. 』

William then spoke directly, "Senior, we don't mean to offend. The Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacilli modified by you is indeed strange, but it is not suitable for us, so we reject it.

But we are very interested in this place. One thing we can be sure of along the way is that you are not from our world, and what you are doing here is not like invading, but more like screening.

Theoretically, only individuals who are infected with the special conjugating bacteria that induce changes in their lungs and can withstand the purple river water are qualified to come to your [Lung Temple] for advanced practice.

Your ultimate goal seems to be to select and cultivate a truly strong person to help you kill some kind of existence in the middle of the city, right?

 The entire independent space and the entire city should have been relocated by you to suppress and blockade it, right? "

 “Smart, but your speculation is only superficial.

 Being able to reach here directly across the sea without concealing the truth speaks volumes about your abilities.

That’s right, as long as I can kill the ‘thing’ in the center of the city, I will have completed my mission, and the helpers will also receive considerable rewards, including the [True Lungs] that you should have heard of and some other things.

 But as far as the current progress is concerned, it is still far behind. After all, this is just a low-level world in the outer plane. Even if it is infected by the disease, the potential of the low-level creatures will not increase much.

 Out of the four of you, two are transformed from native humans, and the other two are purely pathological individuals. Your appearance has raised my expectations for this lower world, but they are still low.

Since you are here, let’s learn the breathing method together. I hope you can grow faster and reach my standards as soon as possible. "

William scratched his head and said, "Well, although we also want to learn, time is limited.

 We don’t plan to waste too much time here on this trip. Can you take us to the center of the city to have a look? Maybe we can help you solve it directly. "

William's words made the old man angry. "Sitting in a well and looking at the sky, you are arrogant... Do you really think that you can hide things from outside and solve things that are beyond your level?"

William said nonchalantly: "We really have limited time. Otherwise, senior, you can test us. If it really doesn't work, how about we not bother here and leave immediately?"

"All right."

 In an instant, the breath changed, and a deadly and dangerous breath came from the old man's lungs.

 Except for Lorian, who was standing behind with his hands bound, the rest of the people were in their postures.

Nash’s arms were drooped in front of him, like a living corpse.

Dentist Jessica unhooked the mask, loosened the thin threads sutured at the corners of her mouth, and looked at the old man with dotted eyes.

However, William gently touched the ring from the "Seventh Marquis" in his hand and looked at his teammates behind him, "Get out of the way. It is more intuitive to test alone."

　　Then he turned his head again and said, "Senior, can I take the test alone?"

Unexpectedly, it was the old man's actions that responded to William.

The old man in the purple hood took a very special breath, which seemed to be a directional and targeted inhalation.

 Click! The mouth closes as the teeth fall.

Plop ~ William's eyes were instantly bloodshot, he fell to his knees, and covered his throat with both hands.

 In an instant, the oxygen in his body, and even the oxygen in his blood, was sucked away. An ordinary person would have died on the spot.

The old man looked at William's pitiful appearance and commented, "Humans in the lower planes cannot get rid of the basic biological structure. This is the end~ You can't even learn the most basic breathing techniques, and I will easily take away the source of life. If you can't even breathe, what are you using to fight?

 Let me teach you a little more, young man. "

 The old man just ‘inhaled’, and now he ‘exhaled’ the air he had inhaled.

Huh~ A blade invisible to the naked eye and extremely fast cuts William's head straight.

 “Boss!”

Nash couldn't help it and wanted to step forward to block it.

　　Boom!

 A loud noise echoed in the stone temple,

Nash's body was kicked hard and flew down, rolling down the cliff and reaching the bottom of the mountain.

The old man standing in the hall looked surprised, even surprised... because Nash was not knocked out by him.

William had already stood up, "I'm really sorry, old man~ Nash is my most loyal lieutenant, and he instinctively wants to save me. My kick should make him wake up and stop disturbing you. The test...your breathing method is really amazing, and my [study] was blocked in one go.

But as long as I don't breathe, that's fine. "

William, whose face was pale due to the death makeup, and whose eyes were dripping with black tears, retracted his side-kicking right foot, recovered his body that had been cut in half, and walked toward the hall while twisting his head.

Unexpectedly, the old man suddenly raised his crutch to signal to stop.

“To be able to reach this level, it’s really not easy for a death of this level to kill you... Don’t waste your energy here, I admit that I underestimated you.

Then let’s satisfy your curiosity and take you to see something really scary.

This old and decayed body is also a gift from that thing.

 Also, let me remind you that even if you are dead at this level, you will still be killed in front of that thing. "

 “Old seniors, please lead the way.”
