Chapter 999 You Have a Weakness
When everyone heard that he was carrying his junior sister's (Miss Ye's) talisman, they thought it would be good to bring it along. Even if it couldn't help them, at least it would give them some ability to protect themselves and not hold them back.
While Xiang Yueqi and the others were busy running around rescuing people, Ye Wanxi and her companion were also very busy capturing people.
While Wu's abilities might not be particularly impressive, his evasive skills are top-notch.
Ye Wanxi and her companion struggled with him for a long time, but it was like holding an eel in their hands; they simply couldn't control him.
Especially when attacked from both sides, Wu finally revealed a momentary opening, so that when Feng Tianyu's sword flew over, he was unable to dodge in time and it slashed his arm.
Surprisingly, what flowed from his hand was not blood, but a liquid like thick ink, and what covered his skin was not flesh and blood, but textures like withered trees.
Ye Wanxi and the other woman were stunned by this scene. In those few seconds, Wu's arm, which had been cut by the sword, healed rapidly and returned to its original state.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, the two of them would probably have thought that what they had just witnessed was an illusion.
"He... is not human." But if he's not human, then what is he?
Upon seeing this, Feng Tianyu narrowed his eyes dangerously. With a wave of his right hand, the sword in his hand disappeared, replaced by a blazing flame, as red as blood and shaped like a lotus.
It was clearly fire, but it was shrouded in an ominous black aura, so it didn't feel hot; instead, it sent an inexplicable chill down your spine.
"Karmic fire?" Wu's expression finally changed when he saw the flame. "How could you..."
Before he could finish speaking, the fire in Feng Tianyu's palm slammed towards him.
Wu's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously snatched it away to the side.
His dodge exposed the vines behind him to the karmic fire, and the black malevolent energy instantly enveloped and entangled them.
Despite being mutated plants unable to make a sound, Ye Wanxi felt as if these things were screaming as the karmic fire surged and devoured them.
The devouring happened in an instant; these plants didn't even have a chance to struggle before being completely reduced to ashes.
At the same time, the barrier constructed by Wu was also pierced by a small hole by the sword energy thrown out by Fengtianyu at some unknown time.
With a crack, the barrier, like a mirror, showed a hole, and once it was broken, it was too late to fix it.
The fragments fell gently from the sky, and the whole house returned to its previous state.
Seeing this, Wu's eyes flickered slightly. Taking advantage of Ye Wanxi and the other person being distracted by the fragments of the barrier, he tried to escape as before.
Unfortunately, Feng Tianyu went to great lengths to lure him out, so how could he possibly let him go?
As soon as Wu was preparing to retreat, Feng Tianyu stepped in front of him, his right hand forming a claw as he reached for Wu's heart.
The karmic fire in Feng Tianyu's palm easily melted away the skin on Wu's chest. Just as they had seen before, what lay beneath the skin on his chest was not flesh and blood, but dark muscle.
Feng Tianyu pressed his palm down a few centimeters, burning away the dark skin and revealing a bright red heart that was pounding loudly.
Ye Wanxi's eyes narrowed slightly when she saw the heart: "You..."
It's not made of flesh and blood, yet it has the appearance of a human; it's a monster, yet it has a beating heart. What exactly is this thing?
With his heart in someone's hand, his life hanging in the balance, Wu's face grew increasingly pale, yet he didn't scream in pain. He only sneered nervously, "I admit I'm not as good as you, and I can't do anything to you. But what about the ordinary people in this house? Are you just going to ignore them?"
"What?" Ye Wanxi's expression changed slightly. She released her divine sense to investigate and found that the production team had not taken the guests to the first-floor reception room as previously arranged, but instead brought them to the room directly opposite the second floor.
Worried that something might happen to Gu Shaoling and the others, Ye Wanxi rushed to the second floor immediately.
Feng Tianyu was not so easily lured away. He had already grasped Wu's heart, and with just a little force, the person in front of him would disappear completely.
"You think I care whether they live or die?"
Wu paused, and a strange, complex feeling suddenly appeared in his eyes as he looked at Feng Tianyu.
“Father was right after all. You are the most cold-hearted and heartless person in the world, just like him.”
“Father?” Feng Tianyu’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he gritted his teeth as he said, “Wu Yequan.”
Wu did not answer, but stared at him intently, his withered tree-like hand slowly reaching towards Feng Tianyu: "It's a pity that you have a weakness, but your father does not, so the one who is destined to lose is you."
Feng Tianyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and the next second, a bright light flashed and enveloped the two of them tightly.
Ye Wanxi's sudden appearance in the second-floor room startled everyone, especially the director and his crew behind the camera.
"Wan... Wanxi, how did you..." Although Gu Shaoling and the other had witnessed Ye Wanxi's feat of scaling walls and roofs, her sudden appearance was truly beyond their comprehension.
"How did you end up in this room? Weren't you downstairs?"
"How did she know that the place we initially arranged was downstairs?" The director couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when he heard Ye Wanxi's words.
This matter was clearly only known to the production team staff and was never revealed to the guests. How did Ye Wanxi find out? Could it be that there's a spy in their production team?
Upon hearing this, the planner's lips twitched slightly, and he rubbed his forehead, saying, "Is that the point? Isn't the point that she suddenly appeared in that room, and even our cameras couldn't capture it?"
How did she even appear out of nowhere?
The director suddenly realized, "That's right, how did she do that?"
"If I knew how she did it, I'd be a god too. If she can even appear out of thin air, isn't it normal for her to know in advance which room we've arranged for the guests?"
Director: "..." That seems to make sense, I'm speechless!
Gu Shaoling hadn't quite grasped the situation yet, but when Ye Wanxi asked, she instinctively replied, "We were indeed downstairs before, but when we were halfway through sitting down, the lights inside suddenly went out."
Gu Shaoling recalled that just as they were talking, the lights in the room suddenly went out with a bang, just like the prelude to a ghost story in a horror movie.
The two girls were so frightened they almost screamed on the spot, their hands trembling as they clung to their boyfriends.
The production team didn't expect the castle's lighting circuitry to be so unreliable, and fearing they might scare the guests, they quickly changed their rooms.
As for why we were moved to this room...
The director's mind suddenly went blank. Right, why did he insist on having them moved to this room?
