With a single scratch, a large piece of flesh was torn off. His current physical body could only be described as fragile; it could not even be considered weak!
Ouyang Xiaoshe screamed and scratched desperately. The flesh on his body had already been completely scratched off, but he still felt only an itch and no pain. Finally, he could not stand it any longer. Ouyang Xiaoshe dashed a dozen meters away and rolled on the ground, desperately rubbing the rough surface against his skin.
Everywhere it passed, there was blood mixed with flesh and skin.
He screamed, moaned, and cursed, rolling around hysterically.
"Give me a quick death!"
"Give me a quick death!"
Ouyang Xiaoshe screamed and begged desperately.
Poof!
Yun Yang stepped on Ouyang Xiaoshe's neck with one foot and forced him to face the sky. Yun Yang's cold gaze stared into Ouyang Xiaoshe's already befuddled eyes and said coldly, "Answer a few of my questions and I'll consider giving you a quick death!"
Ouyang Xiaoshe could no longer hear what he was saying. The only thing he could feel was an unbearable itch. His neck was stepped on, making it difficult for him to move, but his entire body was still struggling and rubbing.
At this moment, Ouyang Xiaoshe's physical condition could be said to be miserable. There was no skin or flesh left in his lower abdomen, and even his intestines had been dragged out with a clatter. Yet, they were still convulsing and struggling for their lives.
Under normal circumstances, even a high-level cultivator would not be far from death in such a situation. However, this normal situation did not apply to Yun Yang.
Yun Yang raised his hand, and a cooling force mixed with the air of vitality enveloped Ouyang Xiaoshe.
Ouyang Xiaoshe was startled to find that the itch had completely disappeared, and his consciousness returned.
Focusing his gaze, he noticed that in front of him, a cloud of mist seemed to be rippling and slowly coalescing into a human figure. Two cold, electrifying gazes focused on his face without the slightest hint of emotion.
"Supreme Cloud..." Ouyang Xiaoshe murmured, "Give me a quick death... I may have harmed your father, but... we have been brothers for seventy years after all... even if I have not treated him well... after this torture and this life as repayment... it should be enough, right?"
His gaze was lost, as if he had seen something. Suddenly, he screamed shrilly, "Dugu! Brother, I've let you down! I'm sorry … "
Yun Yang's heart skipped a beat. Another wave of cooling energy was sent out as he gritted his teeth and said, "That's right. You and Old Dugu are brothers. That's why he went to the Empire of Ziyou and didn't look for anyone else but you! He trusted you, he treated you as a brother, but you sent him to hell! "
Ouyang Xiaoshe's consciousness became clearer and clearer. However, after the itch, an overwhelming and boundless pain assaulted him. He panted heavily for a long time before he finally let out a bitter laugh and said, "Yes, I am despicable! I deserve it. Just kill me. I'll go to the underworld to personally apologize to him and make amends. "
Yun Yang replied coldly, "Apologize? Apologize? Why do you think I'm still keeping you alive until now? I just want to ask you something on behalf of Old Dugu. "
He looked into Ouyang Xiaoshe's eyes and asked, "Why do you want to harm me?"
"We've been brothers for so many years, why do you want to harm me!?"
"Old Dugu didn't have the chance to ask you personally. This was also his last regret. I'm sure the old man is still puzzled until now. So, I'm asking you on his behalf. "
Yun Yang's gaze was like a bolt of lightning as he stared at Ouyang Xiaoshe. "Ouyang Xiaoshe, tell me, why?"
Ouyang Xiaoshe was in a daze. His gaze seemed to be unfocused as he stared at the night sky. After a long, long time, he suddenly let out a bitter laugh. Tears streamed down his cheeks along with this bitter laugh.
He lay on the ground and did not speak for a long time. Finally, he let out a long sigh.
"Back then … we roamed the martial world on our own. We weren't actually close friends, but because our names were similar and we both had the same surname, even our names were similar, we were always mentioned in the same breath by some meddlesome martial artists. One was Xiao Se, the other was Gu Du. It was truly a solemn sight … Gradually, some people began to put both of us in the same breath. When one was mentioned, the other would definitely be mentioned. However, at that time, we didn't know each other. At most, we knew of each other's existence, that's all … "
"Back then … it was me who found a way to find him. We sparred for a bit and realized that we were really equally matched, so it wasn't considered a disgrace to myself. Since then, we became friends and even fell in love with each other after interacting with each other. In the end, the rumors in the martial world became a reality."
"He was older than me by three years … I respected him as my elder brother …"
"Later on, both of us worked together to do many things … but because of this, we also made many enemies. When we returned from our last work, we found that our families had all been murdered. Not a single one of them was spared …"
Ouyang Xiaoshe sighed. "Naturally, both of us were enraged and filled with hatred. We tried everything we could to find our enemies and used all kinds of methods and ways to kill them all … but after our revenge, I was left with nothing but silence. Dugu Du was even more disheartened …"
"Finally, one day, he left without saying goodbye … I don't know where he went. Once he left, we didn't see each other for a whole thirty-seven years. "
"Until the year before last, he suddenly came to Zilong City and found me. He said to me, 'Avenge me!' "
As Ouyang Xiaoshe spoke up to this point, Yun Yang felt a sudden jolt in his heart. A sour feeling welled up within him.
Ouyang Xiaoshe continued, "I asked him then, 'What's wrong?' He told me that my son had been set up by someone. ' I smiled and said, 'There's nothing to say. Your son is my son, of course, I'll help you!' "
"Then, he began to make his move in the Empire of Ziyou. As the local tyrant, I covered for him. With the combined might of both of us, no one in the Empire of Ziyou could stand up to us! We could kill anyone we wanted. Including the nobles, generals, and ministers, even the emperor of Ziyou, who could stop the two of us from joining forces? That so-called Great Perfection Grandmaster can't even withstand a move and a half under our hands. "
"Every time we returned after killing someone, Dugu would look for me for a drink. Each time, he'd pour eight goblets of wine on the ground and say, 'Son, your father has avenged you …'"
Listening up to this point, Yun Yang felt a stinging sensation in his nose, almost tearing up.
"Remember that time, I teased him and asked him, 'Where did you get so many sons?' He said, 'These are all my sons!' They were all good children, but it's a pity that they've been set up … "
"Until the very end, after a murder, he really drank too much that day. He pulled my hand and told me that he'd forgotten something important. I asked him, 'What did he forget?' He said that he had a treasure map, but he'd forgotten to leave it for his youngest son … "
Yun Yang opened his mouth in an unusually forgetful manner, exhaling and inhaling as he chanted in his heart, "Old Dugu … Father! You … "
