Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 857 - 855: This Is All I Can Do

"Such defiant means, if those guys from Heavenly Dao Village were to see it, they’d probably burn all these people to ashes."

At this moment, Dragon Spirit could imagine what kind of expression Xuan Chu would have on his old-fashioned face when he sees these people.

Unfortunately, he has no sense of responsibility for the stability of the world, not even considering doing it himself to destroy these undeserving existences.

However, he was very interested in the iron chain binding these people; it looked decent and should be good material for artifact refining.

He’d collect a bit and later, share some with Yun Ran.

By then, Junior Master would surely see his initiative and teach him a bit more.

Daring and decisive, Dragon Spirit immediately reached out to grab the iron chain.

In his mind, the thought was that just because these people couldn’t handle these chains didn’t mean he couldn’t. His strength could easily destroy a mountain.

However, as soon as Dragon Spirit’s hand touched the chain, he realized he was mistaken.

The hand grabbing the chain seemed to be stung by something, prompting him to withdraw instinctively.

Upon opening his hand, Dragon Spirit clearly saw countless ’tiny barbs’ invisible to the naked eye of ordinary people on his palm.

But upon closer inspection, these tiny barbs were not barbs at all; they were actually writhing worms.

Having been to the Gu God Hall and seen such means, Dragon Spirit naturally wouldn’t take these worms, invisible to the human eye, as mere coincidence.

"It turns out they are Gu worms!"

At this moment, Dragon Spirit felt his mind instantly become clear.

"I see, the discrepancy of these people isn’t just because they’ve had evil techniques cast on them, but also because they’re controlled by iron chains covered in Gu worms."

Looking at the goosebumps that sprung up on his arm, Dragon Spirit felt a shiver run through him.

Luckily, he was Dragon Spirit and inherently unafraid of such things; after all, the original owner of this body was the master of the Gu God Hall.

His body’s flesh had an immune effect against these kinds of Gu worms.

If it were someone else, just touching these chains would probably spell disaster.

Dragon Spirit stepped back and when looking at the chains again, all he felt was disdain; he didn’t want them anymore.

"I’ll leave it to Xuan Chu and the others to handle the matters here later. I won’t get involved."

Dragon Spirit’s gaze turned toward the big door behind these chained people, which should be the next path.

However, looking at the dust on the door’s side showed that it hadn’t been opened for many years.

Dragon Spirit became curious, how did Yun Ran and the others get in?

But that wasn’t a major issue, no matter the route, entry was all that mattered.

"Make way!"

Dragon Spirit raised the magic artifact in his hand, signaling to the insane people to clear a path.

This should have been impossible, yet an absurd scene unfolded.

Those who had long lost their sanity looked fearfully at the magic artifact in Dragon Spirit’s hand and obediently stepped aside.

Some of them, due to standing in awkward positions, tangled their chains with others while making way.

The clattering of the chains was extremely annoying to Dragon Spirit.

He immediately swung the magic artifact in his hand, and a glow struck the chains.

The crisp sound of chains falling to the ground puzzled Dragon Spirit.

Could it be that these chains were this easy to cut through?

He wondered whether what just happened was merely a reflex in anger.

The few people who lost the chains controlling them shook off their frenzied, fearful, and subdued expressions.

In their place came an awoken dreamlike clarity, their eyes becoming much clearer.

Their gaze directed straight at Dragon Spirit, their once stiff bodies moved freely.

With a "thud," they knelt directly before Dragon Spirit.

"Thank you, benefactor, for saving me from misery."

Seeing those who regained clarity, Dragon Spirit firmly gripped the magic artifact, contemplating whether he should rescue the rest.

But just at that moment, those previously kneeling to thank him began to bear black patterns on their bodies.

Until the patterns covered them entirely, their eyes shifted from clarity to complete darkness.

With a single glance, Dragon Spirit knew that these individuals, who had regained consciousness earlier, were now entirely puppets.

In complete puppet form, their bodies lost rigidity and moved agilely to attack Dragon Spirit.

The power behind the attack even carried a whistling sound.

If it landed on flesh, survival would be impossible.

Dragon Spirit transformed his claw to block their assaults.

Normally, facing Dragon Spirit’s claw, the hardest materials would shatter.

Yet against their attack, the dragon claw had no effect, only forcing them back a few steps.

Witnessing the situation, Dragon Spirit had to admit, comparing to demons that many feared.

Sometimes, human cruelty was indeed the most vicious.

If any Xuan Sect people had invaded this place and seen these people’s plight.

They’d be attacked by the Gu worms on the chains when cutting the chains, leading to their demise.

Even if they dodged the Gu worms and severed the chains, they’d be killed by the people they saved.

With these people fully transformed into puppets, their attack power could withstand many of the great talents of the Xuan Sect.

Dragon Spirit raised the hand holding a magic artifact, thrusting it towards one of them.

With a "plop" sound, it was the noise of flesh being pierced.

The puppets, who could previously withstand the dragon claw’s attack, faced the magic artifact taken from the stone pillar.

Stabbed as easily as a knife through tofu.

Dragon Spirit quickly dealt with the few who lost chain control.

Finally, he stared at the magic artifact in his hand seriously.

"What kind of magic artifact is this, with such effectiveness, seemingly able to subdue everything here?"

Looking at the few people on the ground, entirely dead, Dragon Spirit felt little guilt.

His greatest strength was never wasting energy on internal conflict or regretting his actions.

"You didn’t thank me in vain earlier; I truly brought liberation."

Dragon Spirit raised his hand, tossing these individuals into the pit they’d created before covering it with scattered stones.

"This is all I can do."
