Li Jialing ran crazily in the cold pathway. The wounds all over his body seemed to be covered in weird patterns.
The pathway behind him, on the other hand, was left with a cluster of mangled remains that looked like the digestive tract of a primeval beast.
"He's over there. Stop him!"
"It's dangerous. Don't go forward recklessly. Open fire!"
The roars of shock and fury of the Immortal Cultivators were echoing far and near. The enemy's attacks were no longer limited to anesthesia but smashed at him with the most dangerous attack magical equipment.
BOOM!
A mystic ray exploded on the young man's chest brutally, making him stagger and fall to the ground. He happened to dodge three flying swords that were darted at him from his back.
The moment he hit the ground, every joint on his body seemed to have grown a spring, which changed the direction weirdly and bounced back. He rushed into the middle of the three Immortal Cultivators like a tornado. After a few dazzling attacks, the few Immortal Cultivators all exploded their Crystal Suits, and they were blown backward.
Li Jialing took the opportunity to dash into a branch.
The metal wall of the branch slid open without a sound, and the fully-automatic crystal turrets turned over. The young man's eyes were ignited by the fatal mystic rays.
"Hehehehe!"
Li Jialing's entire face seemed to be burning. Roaring in both delight and fury, he suddenly accelerated to the highest speed and dashed between the four crystal cannons.
Sparks were popping up from the four crystal turrets. They cramped and shivered mechanically and did not explode at the same time until Li Jialing disappeared at the end of the pathway!
On the other side of the pathway, however, more than fifty Crystal Suits with super heavy firepower were waiting for Li Jialing. They blocked the only way of escape.
Standing before those Exos, Wuying Lan looked at Li Jialing thoughtfully with his hands behind his back.
It was not hard to tell from the bouncing flames deep inside his eyes that the master of "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky" was more ecstatic than surprised and dissatisfied at the loss of control of the "test subject".
"Have you had enough fun?"
Observing the wounds on Li Jialing's body that were healing quickly, as if he were observing a perfect masterpiece, Wuying Lan said casually, "If you want to continue playing, you should at least take a rest first!"
"Get out of the way! Get out of my way! Get out of the way! "
Li Jialing's eyes were bloodshot, but he turned into a raging fiend and charged at Wuying Lan. "Get out of my way, or you will die!"
Swoosh!
Li Jialing's bloody mist turned into a weird claw that snatched at Wuying Lan's carotid artery brutally, even tearing his head off!
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, how ruthless."
Wuying Lan smiled casually. He was not equipped with a Crystal Suit but was even faster than the Immortal Cultivators who were equipped with high-mobility reconnaissance Crystal Suits. Nobody saw how he dodged Li Jialing's attack. They only saw that Li Jialing was blown away brutally as if he had hit a nonexistent shooting star and smashed into the metal wall of the pathway, leaving a human-shaped dent.
"Pu!"
Li Jialing vomited black blood and white vomit.
"Young man, you are the most perfect masterpiece that I've ever refined. You are even stronger than me in certain aspects."
Warming up his wrists and ankles unhurriedly, Wuying Lan walked toward Li Jialing. "But you do not know how to make use of your immense strength at all. You are merely squandering the most precious abilities that the heavens have given you. Do you not feel that it is a waste of all our efforts that we have devoted to you?"
"You — You …"
Li Jialing seemed to have been woken up by the heavy punch. Crying and coughing, he lunged at him again. "You are all devils! Devils!"
BOOM!
He was blown away by Wuying Lan again. This time, Wuying Lan's fist did not stop but blew his head into the depths of the metal wall. Then, he opened his fingers and clutched his head so hard that the top of his skull was uttering cracking noises.
Wuying Lan dragged Li Jialing out. After a roar, his body expanded to twice its original size. The loose casual clothes turned into tight training clothes that were as thin as paper, and the thick veins all over his body were clearly visible on his clothes like boas.
He swung the young man on the ground, the wall, and even the ceiling crazily as if he were a ragged sack. Every blow raised an earthshaking explosion, making people wonder if "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky" had been bombarded by the giant cannons. Even the fearless Immortal Cultivators felt that their blood was freezing and they were secretly shocked.
Li Jialing's fleshly body, on the other hand, was unbelievably sturdy. Even under the bombardment of an expert of Wuying Lan's level, he was not killed yet. He was still moaning feebly.
"Enough!"
A deep and solemn voice came from behind the Exos. Everybody hurried to step aside and welcome Li Lingfeng's arrival.
Wuying Lan sneered and threw the young man aside casually before he backed off.
"You may leave now."
Li Lingfeng looked at Li Jialing expressionlessly. Nobody knew what was on his mind exactly.
Wuying Lan bowed respectfully and soon left with all the Immortal Cultivators.
In the bloody pathway, the only things left were the mangled remains on the ground and Li Jialing and Li Lingfeng. Right. Maybe Neltharion, which had been hiding inside Li Jialing's body the whole time, was also counted. After all, Li Yao's and the mental devil's telepathic thoughts were inside!
"You've finally awakened."
After the Immortal Cultivators who belonged to "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky" retreated, Li Lingfeng's voice turned mellow and … gentle. He smiled and said, "I've been imagining what you will look like when you break all the shackles and are completely awakened. I didn't know that the day would arrive earlier than I imagined, nor did I expect that you would make such a marvelous performance.
"Don't be influenced by Wuying Lan's words just now. He has grasped such enormous strength for decades, and this is the first time that you are using it. It is only natural that you will be defeated by him.
"However, under my tutelage, if you train yourself crazily, it won't be long before you have a chance to surpass him far!
"Believe in your potential and look at the bloody path behind you. Devil? Hehe. Who is more like a devil? "
"Huchi, huchi, huchi …"
Li Jialing crouched in a corner helplessly. The devastating wounds all over his body were healing quickly, but his mind, which had just been freed from the state of extreme excitement, couldn't have been more frustrated and confused.
Looking at Li Lingfeng who was smiling in front of him, at the broken limbs and internal organs left by the Immortal Cultivators behind him, and at his hands that were still brimming with veins and looked extremely hideous, the young man's lips trembled for a long time.
"I killed someone. I killed someone. I killed someone …"
"Ugh!"
Holding his stomach, he retched again.
It was a pity that he had vomited all the contents of his internal organs just now. At this moment, he vomited nothing except confusion, regret, and fury.
"Why? Why is everything happening?"
Hot tears flowed out of his eyes again. The young man was as haggard and shivering as a flower that had just been savaged and polluted by a swamp. He shouted without caring about anything, "You are a high and mighty big shot. Killing me is as easy as stomping on an ant. Why do you keep forcing me to do things that I don't want to do? Why do you toy with me like this?"
"Things that I don't want to do?"
Li Lingfeng's smile was even more profound and sarcastic. Appreciating the bodies of the Immortal Cultivators that had been torn apart by Li Jialing, he said casually, "With everything coming to this point, there's no need to deceive yourself anymore. Do you dare say that you killed so many people when you completely lost your rationality just now? Did you not feel the greatest ecstasy during the crazy slaughter? Was it not an impulse that had been lurking deep inside your heart but was suppressed by the goddamn shackle?
"Look at the broken bodies. They are the best evidence to prove that you are a natural-born Immortal Cultivator and the most perfect Immortal Cultivator. This is your instinct. This is the real you. I was merely 'pushing' you with the current. That's all."
Li Jialing seemed to have been hit deep inside his soul by lightning. Dumbfounded, he felt like crying.
"Do you want me to examine you first?"
Seeing that he was more or less calmed down, Li Lingfeng asked, "Although your body has a very powerful self-recovery ability, this is your first slaughter after all. It's safer to have a full examination first."
"Don't touch me!"
Li Jialing jumped to his feet as if he had an electric shock. Holding his arms, he shuddered and cried, "Don't touch me. Please, don't touch me. Leave me alone. I need to calm myself down. Please. Please …"
"Alright, alright, alright. It's true that you should calm down and figure out your real identity and destiny."
Li Lingfeng opened his hands, hinting that he meant absolutely no harm. "There's no need to beg me, and there's no need to be so wary of me. I told you last time, and I'm going to repeat it today. You were never a 'test subject'. You should know that absolutely nobody would devote so many resources and efforts to a mere 'test subject'. In my eyes, you are the most perfect warrior of the Li family and the most standard Immortal Cultivator of the new generation!"
"I don't understand."
The young man's eyes gradually froze, as if he had stepped into Li Lingfeng's rhythm without him knowing it. He had completely broken free from the panic and disgust a moment ago. Ignoring the people around him who had been killed by him, he narrowed his eyes and asked, "Tell me the truth. If I am not a 'test subject', why have you been torturing me so cruelly for so many years?"
"Torturing?"
Li Lingfeng burst into laughter. Then, he suddenly changed his expression and glared at Li Jialing. "Boy, you don't know how lucky you are. Do you think that everybody is qualified to bear such 'torture'?
