Chapter 67: Prison Fire

In the silent prison, the inmates each lie on hard beds made of wooden planks.

No sound can be heard, no light seen; one can only feel one's own breathing and heartbeat in the total darkness.

A prison guard in a blue police uniform, wielding a Short Staff, patrols the prison corridor, his leather shoes thudding against the floor.

All the prisoners here have fallen asleep; dim lights flicker faintly from above, making the walls and floor appear even more gloomy and terrifying.

Shadows sway on the walls and floor, and even a seasoned guard cannot help but feel uneasy at the sight.

Woo!!

Suddenly, a rapid alarm blares throughout the prison, the deafening sound jolting everyone who was asleep awake.

Outside, red fire trucks race over at record speed.

He can only see the raging blaze, its scorching heat instantly drenching him in sweat.

Shancun Long's body suddenly emits a dazzling radiance, muffled thunderclaps echoing from him, as golden power spreads out like lightning.

People around the prison evacuate; only professional firefighters may stay, while everyone else keeps away from the area.

"Quick, put out the fire."

The guards who had just been chasing him have all vanished.

Meanwhile, two guards have bound Shancun Long's hands behind him, locking him firmly to the ground; no matter how he struggles, he does not move a hair.

A shadow lifts its arm, extends its right hand, and gently pinches toward Shancun Long.

A faint light, accompanied by a muffled boom, spreads from Shancun Long's body, and in that instant turns into a golden shockwave,

a massive roar that, at that moment, reverberates throughout the entire prison.

After the thunderous blast, the terrifying force, like a volcanic eruption, instantly hurls all the guards surrounding Shancun Long into the air.

"Bang bang bang!"

Holding their respective weapons, they dash swiftly toward the source of the alarm.

As soon as the words finish, two guards rush forward, pull Shancun Long down from the wall, and fling his hands behind his back.

Behind him, a group of guards in blue police uniforms, weapons in hand, continuously pursue the prisoner who fled the cell for unknown reasons.

The raging fire also diminishes considerably after Shancun Long's escape.

The prison structures collapse and explode before the fire, the huge sounds and shockwaves continuously destroying the remaining buildings.

At this moment, the prison that has held Shancun Long for over twenty years is completely destroyed, cracks constantly appearing and spreading outward.

The towering flames now touch the prison walls, but the concrete walls clearly cannot block the terrifying energy barrage.

Then, step by step, they approach the Shancun Long who has collapsed on the ground from the smoke,

At the moment the golden energy erupts, the guards who were flung into the air meet the ground or walls,

A gale whistles by, and the scorch marks left by the guards on the walls and floor flash a spark again, then blaze like heavenly fire, sweeping outward in all directions!

Now no one cares whether the prisoners have broken out; anyone who survives is considered extremely lucky.

They touch each other, merge quickly; in the blink of an eye, the shadow shrinks ever smaller, eventually fully merging into Shancun Long's body.

"Shancun Long, you can't get away; if you don't stop, we'll open fire," shouted voices came from behind him.

A gust of wind suddenly appears here, whistling past.

A slender prisoner in a gray jumpsuit, wearing glasses, darts rapidly forward.

The massive bull‑horned giant on the wall, upon hearing the wail and painful scream, nods in satisfaction.

A shadow resembling a bull‑horned giant slowly rises from the wall, overlooking the scene.

Attempting to pin Shancun Long to the ground,

Just after the fusion, a massive boulder falls from the sky, a terrifying shockwave surging out, violently pushing the prison's walls.

"Bang!"

Although he looks a bit disheveled, his body and even his clothes remain unharmed.

Shancun Long now rises from the ground; behind him are concrete walls, and in front of him at least twenty guards have gathered. He looks up, the prison walls lined with patrolling sentries; he now resembles a rabbit besieged by a pack of wolves.

Immediately, the guards behind raise their guns, pull the triggers swiftly, and yellowish bullets fly from the barrels toward the mortal Shancun Long.

Seeing the thick swirling smoke, the remaining guards in the prison quickly make a phone call to report the incident.

"Boom!"

The whole world suddenly darkens, accompanied by an eerie chill and a burnt smell emanating from Shancun Long.

He uses every ounce of strength, crawling and rolling out of the fire, his body blackened by the smoke.

All the lights flash on at once, bright beams instantly flooding every corner of the prison.

"Surround him, don't let him escape."

A massive beam of light suddenly shoots down from the highest point of the prison.

Bullets rain down on Shancun Long, but they all strike his feet; no matter how they fire, they cannot hit his body, and his clothes are only dirtied from rolling on the ground.

But Shancun Long seems not to hear it; his facial muscles contort bit by bit as he flees, his expression turning unusually fierce.

The air instantly fills with tension, and the remaining guards around rush out one after another.

The thick prison walls, like tofu, are instantly shattered by the overwhelming force, cracking open a huge opening to the outside.

The crackling fire and pervasive smoke instantly make him feel terribly uncomfortable; the flames dance in the air like a massive monster devouring everything.

When it appears, the area previously lit by light suddenly dims, as if something has swallowed the illumination.

"Surrender, Shancun."

At this moment, Shancun Long suddenly opens his eyes, looks at the ruined prison around him, feels the still‑burning surroundings, and dashes away.

Those prisoners locked in cells with no chance to escape can only be devoured by the relentless flames.

At this moment, the previously invisible shadow on the wall has now fully emerged from the wall.

It actually turns into charred ash, leaving a humanoid scorch mark on the prison walls and floor.

Shancun Long raised his hands high, looking at the surrounding flames shooting up into the sky, he was suddenly startled.

And the firefighters also clearly felt that the fire had been brought under control; as long as they waited a little longer, they could completely extinguish the blaze.

However, it is impossible for a prison to spontaneously start such a huge fire.
