"Do you think I'll reason with you every day like those fools and watch you cause trouble?" The man just smiled faintly. "Even if you don't agree, so what? I'll still cut you into 1,800 pieces, one by one, and send them to Lin Yuan City! I want to see how long that little brat can hold out."
"Hahaha!" Even though he was suppressed and unable to move, Shen Yunhao still laughed loudly. "Void Realm? Or Demonic Sect? That's all the ability you have! No wonder you can only do some insignificant stupid things behind the scenes, making a fool of yourself, making a fool of yourself, hahahaha!"
"Clang!"
With a flash of white light, Shen Yunhao suddenly felt a void in his left arm. Turning his head, he saw that his entire left arm had been severed at the root, and blood gushed out, splattering all over the ground.
"Ah...Eh!"
The excruciating pain caused the boy's face to turn bright red, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to cry out.
"I think 1,800 segments are too many. Why not send one hand to them first? Maybe it will have an unexpected effect..."
The severed left arm hovered in front of the man, who chuckled eerily, "You really are a man of deep sentimentality. So eager to die just to keep that demonic vine from emerging? But too bad, provoking me won't make me kill you outright. I have countless ways to make you wish you were dead, to torture you into a monster that's neither human nor ghost. That would be quite fun..."
"I forgot to tell you something. The whole affair at Medicine King Valley was orchestrated by me, and the Dark Abyss Demon Vine's tormented life was also personally designed by me... Don't worry, she'll eventually become my toy, and then I'll let you two have a proper meeting... Tsk tsk tsk, just thinking about it is incredibly exciting..."
At this moment, golden threads were already seeping out from Shen Yunhao's left shoulder, crisscrossing and moving about, as if they were doing their best to repair this terrible wound.
Shen Yunhao took two deep breaths and smiled again.
"Hey... what are you afraid of?"
"Um?"
Only then did the man called Guimu frown slightly.
"With your Void Realm cultivation, you could have forcibly captured me the instant I left Tianshan. Why did you wait until now? Who are you afraid of?"
"Ridiculous!" The man's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he sneered, "I was merely testing how many pawns you have behind you. Although the Dragon Blood Sect is foolish, they are not entirely useless. At least they managed to lure out the three Spirit Void Realm cultivators behind you, didn't they?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunhao shook his head.
"No, you're scared..."
"..."
"Let me guess, is it Shangguan Jingming, the current sect leader of Guanghan Palace? Or Ling Shuangzi from the older generation? Or perhaps... some palace master or elder?"
"Tch! I'm afraid of them? How laughable... If they were truly useful, you wouldn't have fallen into my hands. What is there to fear?"
"Oh... that's not the Moon Palace, could it be the North Sea? The chaos in the North Sea was also the work of your Blood Sect, wasn't it? It was also the Blood Sect that ordered the hunt for Sister Li'er to seize the Heart of the Vast Sea... So, you've been worried about retaliation from the North Sea? You are, after all, a Void Realm cultivator, one of the top combatants in the Blood Sect. If you were captured by Zhu Xuan here, it would be a huge loss, am I right?"
"Ignorant child, no matter how sharp your tongue is, you cannot escape the fate of those eighteen kinds of hellish tortures!"
"Tsk tsk tsk... That's really strange. I was just saying, and you broke your defenses? Your position as a Void Realm cultivator is far too stifling. If you were anywhere else, you'd be a respected and peerless expert. Being a dog in the Demonic Sect is one thing, but now that you've finally come to the righteous path, everyone's shouting at you, afraid of this and that..."
"You bastard!"
Finally enraged, the man in purple raised his hand and grabbed, unleashing an immense force that pressed down from all sides, continuously compressing as if to crush Shen Yunhao on the spot...
"Stupid...idiot...useless...worthless..."
Even now, Shen Yunhao is still mocking him and provoking him.
"You insignificant ant, I will crush you completely and feed you to the dogs!"
"Yeah?"
Just then, the bamboo forest, which had been restless due to its owner's anger, suddenly quieted down.
Shen Yunhao, who had been almost compressed into a ball in the air, suddenly unfolded and fell to the ground, panting heavily.
Golden light shimmered around him as he frantically repaired Shen Yunhao's injuries.
As for the Vast Ocean Heart, Shen Yunhao did not use it for fear that the other party would take it away.
"who!"
The man in purple's expression changed drastically. He turned around abruptly and saw a scholar in white carrying a wine pot, staggering out from the depths of the bamboo forest. He looked drunk and charming, yet he exuded an extraordinary and refined aura.
"Let's drink today, for tomorrow we may die! What's so great about cheap tea? Come drink with me!"
Before the scholar in white could finish speaking, the man in purple was struck dumb, his body stiffened, his eyes filled with terror, and even his breathing became rapid.
Shen Yunhao's consciousness was already somewhat blurred from the torment, but he still looked in the direction of the sound and then paused slightly.
He knew this person!
When Shen Yunhao left Tianshan, he met a Tyrannosaurus Rex who was drinking "Overlord Wine" while resting on the road. Shen Yunhao felt a strange sense of kinship with this person, so he paid for the wine and even booked a room for him to rest.
I never expected to end up here!
"You little rascal! I was thinking of having a couple of drinks with you... how come you ran off so quickly?"
The scholar, still seemingly drunk, swayed past the man in purple robes and came to Shen Yunhao's side. Then he paused, surprised. "Huh? Back then you... had two hands, but now... you only have one?"
"..."
Shen Yunhao really wanted to say that there was another one floating right behind him, but he was too weak to speak at the moment.
"You little brat... how can you serve... serve my darling with just one hand? No, no... you need two hands..."
The scholar muttered to himself, then turned and caught sight of the severed hand. His face lit up with joy. "Oh? This...this just happens to be one that no one else wanted. Here...I'll reattach it for you!"
"..."
That's simply incredible.
Just as the scholar retrieved his severed hand and was about to reattach it for Shen Yunhao, a cold glint flashed in the eyes of the purple-clad man, and he suddenly retreated, attempting to escape the area.
But as soon as he lifted his front foot, he was suddenly bound by an invisible force and could no longer move an inch!
This situation is exactly the same as when Shen Yunhao was suppressed on the ground just now!
At this moment, the drunken scholar suddenly turned around, a deep, cold glint flashing in his previously hazy eyes, and his tone was icy.
Did I... let you leave?
As soon as he finished speaking, a layer of frost seemed to freeze over the bamboo forest, and even the air seemed to solidify.
