Senior Brother Qu finally panicked. "He's planning to beat me to death with this small wooden stick. He'll beat me to death until I die!"
He really hoped that Qin Mu had a knife in his hand, even if it was a blunt one.
Naturally, the small wooden stick wasn't very powerful, but the swelling on his head and face had already turned into a bloody pustule. The swelling had reduced his eyes to two slits, and his vision was becoming increasingly blurry.
The skin on his body was also bruised, and a few of his muscles had already turned into paste. Qin Mu also paid more attention to his joints.
Qin Mu wasn't attacking the bones of his joints, but the ligaments and fascia. The ligaments and fascia of each of Senior Brother Qu's joints had been broken by the small wooden stick, and he felt a tearing pain whenever he moved.
Being beaten to death bit by bit by a small wooden stick was the most frightening thing. The pain and fear had been prolonged countless times, but he just wouldn't die for a while.
At this moment, the horde of beasts running above their heads had disappeared. They had already killed their way out of the ruins' entrance, and the horde of beasts had also dispersed.
Qin Mu's strength was also gradually weakening. He didn't know how many times he had 'swung his knife' up until now, but he couldn't hold on any longer. He and Senior Brother Qu had been running and fighting under the giant beasts' bellies. Not only did they have to dodge the opponent's sword, but they also had to dodge the giant beasts' hooves and claws. The constant changes in their footwork had caused his legs to become extremely sore.
When he had been cultivating with the Butcher, even though the Butcher had often been crazy, she knew that there was a limit to her training and wouldn't tire him out too much.
Now, he no longer had the strength to continue swinging his knife. He was relying on his own willpower to persevere.
He knew that if he stopped, even if Senior Brother Qu still had a trace of vital energy left, he would still be beheaded!
He could only continue to beat Senior Brother Qu to death!
Thump.
Senior Brother Qu finally couldn't hold on any longer. He collapsed to the ground, and his treasured sword fell to the ground with a clang.
Qin Mu threw away the wooden stick and grabbed the treasured sword, but he couldn't lift it. His arms had lost the last bit of strength.
Qin Mu lifted his leg and kicked the sword hilt bit by bit, aiming the tip of the sword at Senior Brother Qu. Senior Brother Qu could barely see what was happening and struggled with all his might to avoid the tip of the sword. However, his bones and tendons were almost completely rotten, and even his muscles couldn't move an inch.
He couldn't move and could only watch as Qin Mu struggled to adjust the position of the tip of the sword bit by bit. Then, he kicked the sword bit by bit, letting the tip of the sword pierce his throat bit by bit.
Finally, the sword pierced through his throat. Gurgling sounds came from his throat as bubbles appeared in his blood. Not long after, he breathed his last.
Qin Mu felt relieved and collapsed to the ground. It was too tiring. It had never been so tiring.
With a corpse lying beside him, the feeling was simply unbearable. Qin Mu tried to move his body, but he couldn't, so he could only give up on the idea.
This wasn't the first time he had seen a corpse. The woman who had crawled out of the cowhide by the river and Senior Brother Qu's two junior brothers had all turned into corpses.
Once, Madam Si had brought him to a neighboring village to help a woman deliver her baby. Madam Si was a midwife in addition to cutting clothes. She helped women in the neighboring villages deliver babies.
When they arrived, all the villagers in the village were dead. Men and women, old and young, including the woman who was about to give birth.
At that time, Qin Mu's mind was blank. He felt like he was floating in the air, weightless as he looked at the tragic scene below him. Later, Madam Si woke him up. Madam Si said that he was so frightened that his soul had left his body. It was Madam Si who pulled his soul back and stuffed it back into his body.
Granny didn't say who had killed the villagers. She only told him that such things were very common in the Great Ruins, so …
"Don't give your enemy any chance," Madam Si said to him sternly.
Senior Brother Qu's corpse made him uncomfortable. However, the Great Ruins was a place where the strong preyed on the weak and only the fittest survived. Qin Mu had grown up in the Great Ruins and was used to strange beasts killing each other. Senior Brother Qu's corpse was no different from other strange beasts'.
Just as he was adjusting his breath, he heard footsteps approaching. He forced himself to turn his head to look in the direction of the sound and was astonished to see Senior Sister Qing limping towards him. She was holding a treasure sword in her hand and her face was swollen like a pig's head, completely unrecognizable.
Qin Mu struggled to get up. His limbs, bones, and muscles were all in intense pain and swelling. He could only stop to gasp for breath and silently execute Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique.
His vital qi gradually became lively and flowed towards his aching muscles and torn bones. Wherever his vital qi flowed, the swelling lessened. However, his senses became sharper and he could feel a burning pain.
Senior Sister Qing was still limping towards him. This woman's legs were half-crippled when she fought with Qin Mu. Her face was also kicked countless times. The most ruthless kick was the last one. Qin Mu had used all his strength.
That kick was like a venomous dragon swinging its tail, flattening her beautiful face. Now, it was swollen like overnight noodles.
The teeth in her mouth had probably all fallen out, and the corner of her mouth was still dripping with saliva mixed with blood.
However, her hands were very steady. The treasure sword in her hand was still shining with a cold light. It was obvious that the hatred in her heart was overflowing. She wanted to tear Qin Mu into pieces.
Qin Mu hurriedly executed Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique in an attempt to recover some strength. However, the high-intensity battle just now had exhausted his body.
