Cave Refuge-Chapter 207 - 206: Double Kill_1

But it wasn’t Dong Tianyu’s fault. The martial artist’s suspicious behaviour only got in the way. Dong Tianyu had barely delt with Captain Wu a few days back, and already someone was up on the Nameless Mountain, looking around as if searching for something.

So it wasn’t Dong Tianyu’s fault, mainly because the martial artist’s actions were so suspect.

This time, Dong Tianyu didn’t go straight for a head explosion. While it does look shockingly impressive, it’s actually quite troublesome to deal with afterwards.

It was better to attack the heart. Even though this approach would also cause a pool of blood on the ground, it was less messy than blasting a head.

Dig a hole, bury it, sprinkle some water, and done.

Technically, water and mud aren’t necessary, but Dong Tianyu wanted to prevent the stench of a corpse from permeating through the soil cracks. Just to be on the safe side.

After dealing with the martial artist, Dong Tianyu didn’t think too much of it. As per his usual routine, he went into the Shadow Space.

But Dong Tianyu did not expect that the next day, another martial artist would climb up the Nameless Mountain. When discovered, the martial artist was rummaging through a temple at the foot of the mountain for supplies.

The temple had only been renovated a few years before, so even though it had experienced several natural disasters, the overall structure had not been severely damaged. However, the food in the temple had either rotted or been carried away by the flood, leaving nothing useful behind.

The temple was not far from the Shadow Space, and this time, Dong Tianyu did not immediately make a move, but decided to have a chat with the person first.

However, just as Dong Tianyu left the Shadow Space and appeared at the temple door, the martial artist resting inside sensed his arrival.

Just as Dong Tianyu was about to enter the temple for a chat, the other party pulled out his pistol from his waist, hid in the shadows, and prepared to ambush Dong Tianyu.

Their actions seemed a bit ridiculous under the Divine Sense surveillance. Fortunately, Dong Tianyu just wanted to gather some information. Four short needles, controlled by the Art of Controlling Objects, flew towards the martial artist hidden in the shadows.

Under the control of the Art of Controlling Objects, the speed of the needles was incredibly fast. If their target were an ordinary person, like Lee Byungho, they would not have time to react to Dong Tianyu’s attack.

However, this time their target was a martial artist. The moment the flying needles were about to hit the limbs of the martial artist, they suddenly sensed an unusual feeling.

The martial artist instantly guessed that the opponent might have discovered him and was attacking him by some unknown means. So, he quickly left his hiding spot.

The martial artist’s reaction was very swift, exposing the shortcomings of the Art of Controlling Objects. The speed of the flying needles controlled by the Art of Controlling Objects was fast to ordinary people, but it still gave martial artists room for reaction.

The speed of the short needles was far less than that of sniper bullets, even slower than handgun bullets.

Although the short needles were thin and short, the martial artist still noticed the four short needles floating in the air after dodging from his original position.

In face of the strange attack, the martial artist felt chills, even in the searing heat. After all, had it not been for his timely evasion, he wouldn’t have known what would have happened.

Seeing that the four short needles continued to fly towards him, the martial artist, who clearly understood his own marksmanship, did not panic and fire randomly.

Instead, he unconsciously scanned his surroundings, saw a seat that had long since rotted, put his firearm back in his waistband, flew over to grab the metal leg of the seat, and then forcefully snapped it. The rectangular metal frame was torn apart in an instant.

The martial artist swung an armchair leg, moved in closer towards the short needle without retreating, and then swiped hard with the metal stick in his hand.

This attack by the martial artist revealed another flaw in the Art of Controlling Objects. Although it is simple to apply the Art of Controlling Objects to a target, the control exerted on the object is not strong.

When the martial artist’s metal stick hit the short needles hard, distorting their shape, the Art of Controlling Objects attached to the short needles was instantly dispelled. The four short needles, due to the impact, hit the ground hard.

Seeing the short needles fall to the ground motionless, the martial artist did not relax his vigilance. He held the metal leg of the chair tightly, staring at the short needles on the ground.

What he didn’t realize was that Dong Tianyu had already arrived at the door. When the martial artist noticed someone at the door, the handgun in Dong Tianyu’s hand had already begun firing.

As the handgun in Dong Tianyu’s hand disappeared, he couldn’t help but sigh, "No matter what, guns are still the most useful. The Art of Controlling Objects is fine against ordinary people, but to face martial artists, unless you catch them off guard and ambush them, it’s not very effective."

The weakness of the Art of Controlling Objects was only due to Dong Tianyu’s lack of imagination. Since the Art of Controlling Objects can manipulate ordinary objects, why not directly use it on guns and control dozens of firearms? Nobody would dare say that the Art of Controlling Objects was not powerful enough!

Looking at the martial artist whose limbs were bleeding from gunfire, Dong Tianyu leisurely walked over.

Just as Dong Tianyu was about to approach the martial artist, the latter instantly grabbed the metal chair leg on the ground and swung at Dong Tianyu with all his might.

Dong Tianyu casually grabbed the chair leg that the martial artist was swinging at him, with a look of disdain he said to the martial artist, "You’ve been shot, why can’t you just stay still instead of thrashing around?"

After he finished speaking, he forcefully took the metal chair leg from the martial artist, and then, with a backhand swing, hit the martial artist on the arm he had used to attack him.

’Crack!’

The metal chair leg and the martial artist’s forearm bent simultaneously. At the same time, the pain from the broken arm made the martial artist scream.

"See, you’re just asking for trouble," said Dong Tianyu.

A series of killings had somewhat changed Dong Tianyu’s mindset. Although the martial artist had initially tried to ambush him, before killing Captain Wu, Dong Tianyu would have likely tried to subdue the martial artist using a more peaceful method, rather than in such a rough way as now.

Looking at the martial artist who was writhing on the ground with his broken arm, Dong Tianyu shook his head. Given the martial artist’s current state, he was not in a shape for interrogation. Therefore, Dong Tianyu decided to be merciful and dealt him a quick death to end his suffering.

A scan with the Divine Sense revealed that apart from a handgun and two full bullet clips, the martial artist had nothing else valuable on him.

With the spirit of conservation in mind, Dong Tianyu removed the firearm and bullet clips from the martial artist’s body and surveyed his surroundings.

Since they were indoors, digging a hole was out of the question. However, Dong Tianyu was also not too keen on dragging the body outside. He decided it was better to gather some petrol and wood and burn the place down.

He had an abundance of such materials in the Shadow Space, so he took out some firewood and placed it on top of the body and around it. After pouring some gasoline, he dropped a match, and the fire instantly engulfed the firewood on the ground.

Seeing the fire growing fiercer, Dong Tianyu lamented that it would be good if he had some corpse-dissolving liquid, as he made his way out.
