Cave Refuge-Chapter 208 - 207: Three Kills_1

With martial artists appearing on Nameless Mountain for two consecutive days, Dong Tianyu suspected that something abnormal was happening in the city center as it was unusual to encounter martial artists this often, given their once scarce population.

As expected, a martial artist climbed Nameless Mountain before dawn on the third day and he directly headed towards the location of Dong Tianyu’s cave mansion.

Dong Tianyu, who wanted to clarify what was going on, didn’t act rashly this time, but allowed the martial artist to move freely, aiming to figure out his intentions.

Upon reaching the platform at the cave entrance and seeing the metallic door on the mountain, the martial artist exhibited an extremely excited expression.

He quickly approached the door and gave it a push. After realizing that he couldn’t open it from the outside, he picked up a few stones from the vicinity and threw them at the door.

"Whoever is inside, listen. We’ve discovered this refuge center. If you’re smart, open the door immediately and let me in, otherwise you’ll suffer the consequences."

Despite the martial artist yelling at the door, Dong Tianyu paid no attention. Instead, he stood behind the door, hoping to obtain more useful information from him.

Martial artists balance their body temperature and resist external heat by utilizing their Inner Breath. This means that even standing still outside leads to consumption of Inner Breath. The greater the movements, the faster the Inner Breath is consumed.

Recognizing that his Inner Breath had declined by a third and seeing the unresponsive metal door, the martial artist grew angry, "Liu Hao, Ferguson, I know you two are inside."

"This refuge center wasn’t originally occupied by martial artists, so I suppose you two have taken it over now, right? Be sensible and open the door to welcome me in. The three of us can jointly occupy this refuge center."

"If not, I’ll return with other martial artists. Then, well, you probably know what would happen."

Seeing that the metallic door still showed no signs of opening after his speech, the martial artist became infuriated.

To ensure his safety, he had decided before arriving that he would return immediately if his Inner Breath was consumed by half. After making a scene outside the door and realizing his Inner Breath was nearly half depleted, he prepared to leave without hesitance, issuing a final threat.

"Okay, okay. So you want to play it like this, do you? You just wait, your time of regret will come." After stating this, the martial artist turned around to leave.

Sensing his intentions, Dong Tianyu opened the metallic door. The martial artist, hearing the noise behind him and assuming his threats had worked, turned around excitedly.

He knew that occupying a private sanctuary, previously unoccupied by any martial artists, would be extremely easy. And there should be abundant supplies inside. After all, any private sanctuary that could hold up till this point would definitely have stored up plenty of supplies.

Upon turning around and seeing Dong Tianyu stepping out of the door, the martial artist was taken aback. No one could progress to the martial artist level without wisdom.

If it was the two martial artists he knew coming out, it wouldn’t be a big deal. After all, they had never returned since they left, either because they were dead or had found a better place.

Comparatively, occupying a refuge center alone would be much more relaxing than sharing one with several other martial artists.

Despite the possession of guns now, injuring a martial artist wouldn’t be difficult. However, killing one in a prepared state would be extremely challenging.

So, compared to the death of the two martial artists, the martial artist in their shelter may have found an unoccupied refuge center and thus didn’t wish to return.

But if the two were occupying this sanctuary, they would definitely come out together once the door opened. Neither threatening him in unison, nor forcing him to stay through some kind of scheming, would involve only one person coming out, let alone a stranger.

Being able to calmly stand across from him after walking out of the door indicated that Dong Tianyu must have reached the Inner Breath Realm at least.

At this stage, the judgment of a martial artist’s combat power did not depend on their martial arts skills, but on the model of the firearm they possessed.

Looking at Dong Tianyu’s empty hands, the martial artist subconsciously reached towards the firearm behind him.

Although the martial artist thought his action was very secretive, it was transparent under the scrutiny of Dong Tianyu’s Divine Sense.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Four continuous gunshots directly shattered the limbs of the martial artist.

Seeing Dong Tianyu standing motionlessly, the martial artist speculated that there must be other people hidden and shooting, possibly including the two martial artists.

However, looking around the open area, he didn’t find any potential shooting spot, even after being hit by four bullets.

It was normal that he couldn’t find any since Dong Tianyu was the only one there without any other martial artists. As for how the guns were fired, it was simple.

Dong Tianyu had realized yesterday when he returned to the cave mansion that the Art of Controlling Objects was versatile. Though his assassination techniques were ineffective against martial artists, he could switch tactics and use firearms directly to conduct a frontal offensive.

As long as he applied the Art of Controlling Objects to the firearms in advance, he could manipulate them during combat to shoot from different directions, producing the effect of multi-person gun battle formation.

Before the martial artist turned around when the metallic door opened, Dong Tianyu had already used the Art of Controlling Objects to place four guns around the platform. Hence, the previous scene occurred when the martial artist attempted to ambush him by drawing his gun.

Currently, the gun muzzles of the four firearms were still aimed firmly at the martial artist lying on the ground. Although the instance of attacking him preemptively previously occurred, Dong Tianyu still approached him.

However, before Dong Tianyu could say anything, he suddenly sensed danger through his Divine Sense.

With a powerful kick from his right foot, he sent the martial artist’s body flying off the platform. As the martial artist’s body was about to fall,

’Boom!’ His body was instantly blown to pieces in mid-air.

The danger sensed earlier should have been that. The artist’s self-detonation was quite clever. From Dong Tianyu’s action of shooting his limbs, it was easy to infer that Dong Tianyu intended to interrogate him.

The martial artist knew that he would inevitably die once Dong Tianyu obtained the desired information from him.

So, rather than being tortured and killed by Dong Tianyu, it was better to commit suicide now. At this point, he also thought of the state of the two martial artists who had arrived here two days ago. Without any surprises, they must have set off for the underworld ahead of him.
