Fang Xing jumped in fright when he saw the attendants surrounding him. He quickly changed his expression and said with a smile, "I'm just joking. Lady, please don't be angry. Actually, I'm from the outside world. I've just entered the Ultimate and I'm not familiar with the place. How can I be a spy? I was really too hungry to take it, so I bumped into you. Give me two pieces of meat to eat first, and I'll explain to you in detail when I'm full. How's that? "
"You're from outside the Ultimate Ruins?"
The woman was taken aback when she heard that, but she did not mention anything about crippling him again.
Fang Xing nodded hurriedly and said, "Absolutely!"
Upon hearing that Fang Xing was from outside the Ultimate Ruins, the yellow-robed cultivator also walked over and sized up Fang Xing curiously. He whispered to the lady, "Young Lady, the clan leader has ordered that we must try our best to rope in people from outside the Ultimate Ruins and serve the Heaven Hatred Clan …" The lady looked at him impatiently and sneered. "He's not even a Golden Core cultivator and isn't anyone powerful, so why be so careful? Furthermore, just because he says he's from outside the Ultimate Ruins, does it mean he's from outside the Ultimate Ruins? Why don't you ask clearly? "
At this point, he turned and shouted at Fang Xing coldly, "Since you're from outside the Ultimate Ruins, when did you enter, and where did you enter?"
"I've been in here for about … half a year? A year? Anyway, the place where I entered is not far from here! "
Fang Xing answered hesitantly. His tone was careful, and he did not know how the people in the Ultimate Ruins treated outsiders.
As for when he entered, he really did not know either. He had almost forgotten the time during that seclusion.
However, in the eyes of the lady and the yellow-robed cultivator, they began to suspect that Fang Xing had come. The yellow-robed cultivator took a step forward and looked at Fang Xing. "If you really came from outside the Ultimate Ruins, how could you even forget when you entered the Ultimate Ruins? Moreover, this mountain range is under the jurisdiction of the Heaven Hatred Clan. If you really came from the Ancient Ruins in the past year, why didn't the elders sense it and send people to look for you? Brother, it's really not easy for you to have such a cultivation at such a young age. I don't want to cut off your path of retreat. This is the Young Master of our Heaven Resentment Clan's Patriarch. It's fine if you tell us where you came from, but if you don't, no one can save you! "
Fang Xing was a little speechless and said, "But I really can't remember. Could it be that I've been in seclusion for more than a year?"
The woman sneered and said, "You're still pretending to be a fool at a time like this. Let's see how long you can last after taking the Eighteen Ominous Spikes!"
Upon hearing her order, someone took out a package and opened it on the ground. Inside were eighteen copper spikes about a meter long. They were carved with complicated patterns. The tips were as thick as a baby's fist, but the tips were as thin as a bee's tail. They shone with a cold light. There were blood grooves carved on the body of the spikes. They were extremely terrifying, and there were even some dried blood stains on them. It was a chilling sight to see.
When Fang Xing saw this, he immediately became alert. He immediately circulated his spiritual power and laughed dryly. "Hey, you don't have to do this. I'm just telling the truth. It's mainly because I've been in seclusion to heal my injuries the moment I came in. That's why I can't remember the time!"
The lady sneered and said, "That's why I'm helping you to remember. Maybe you'll remember after you've endured these eighteen copper spikes. Consider yourself lucky. These eighteen copper spikes are used to deal with Level Four ferocious beasts …"
Fang Xing glanced at them, and his face was quite ugly. He forced a smile and said, "Such thick stuff. Let's not talk about eighteen. I guess I'll lose my life if I take one. Miss, let's sit down and talk slowly …"
The people around saw that he was timid and begged for mercy without any spirit. They all thought it was a little funny.
A follower on the side laughed and said, "If it's gone, then it's gone. Who told you to offend our young master?"
"Humph, you're the only one who dares to behave atrociously in the territory of the Heaven Resentment Clan. I'll teach you a lesson, lest you don't know your place!"
In this group of followers, except for the three Gold Core cultivators, the rest of them were not strong enough to be feared. They were just followers, and they were best at flattery. At this time, they naturally saw that the young master, who had always been competitive, was frightened by this guy. She was quite unhappy in her heart, so they picked the words she liked to hear one by one. Between their words and smiles, they did not take Fang Xing's life seriously at all.
Fang Xing's face darkened. He looked at the crowd vigilantly and secretly mobilized his spiritual power. Even he did not expect that after going through so many storms, he would fall into a life-threatening crisis because of a piece of barbecue. He was also helpless in his heart. He had really smiled, pretended to be a coward, and said soft words, but the poisonous girl did not believe him and insisted on nailing him eighteen holes.
Sneaking a glance at her expression, he could see that she was rejoicing in his misfortune. She probably wanted him to suffer a little. He didn't know what kind of grudge she had with him. It was clearly the first time they met, but she already hated him to this extent.
As for the yellow-robed cultivator, he had no intention of stopping her. He could tell that the young lady was angry and wanted to vent her anger. To him, all he needed to do was stop the fellow in the cage before he lost his life and spare his life. The young lady was right about one thing. Although the people of the Sinkhole thought highly of the people outside the Sinkhole, that was only limited to those with strength.
Although the person in front of him was a little strange, he was not even a Gold Core cultivator, so he was naturally not valued.
"Tell me, which clan's spy are you? Why did you offend our young master!?"
A fair-faced, beardless Foundation Establishment cultivator walked toward the cage with a copper nail in his hand and shouted in a deep voice.
"Hehe, Big Brother, don't mess around. I've already said that I just came to the Ultimate. How could I be someone else's spy?"
Fang Xing chuckled and looked around, trying to find a way to escape.
Unfortunately, the cage was made of black iron and was surrounded by restrictions. It was not that easy to break. Furthermore, when the Foundation Establishment cultivator walked over with the nail, the three Gold Core cultivators had already stood up silently and surrounded the cage. They released their pressure and stared at Fang Xing. Clearly, they were watching him, preventing him from hurting anyone in the cage. This could be considered as cutting off all chances of survival for Fang Xing.
"Damn it, am I really going to die here?"
Fang Xing became anxious and circulated his spiritual power even more frantically.
Now that things had come to this, he was no longer circulating his spiritual power to resist. Even if he was already at the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm, it would be difficult for him to fight for his life when he was being stared at by three Golden Core cultivators. Instead, he wanted to release his own aura to make the mad dragon that had run off somewhere to catch wild rabbits quickly come back. However, even he himself didn't know if this method would work.
"Hehe, kid, don't just hide. This copper nail is used to deal with fierce beasts. If it's used against humans, you have to identify the acupuncture points. It's fine if you behave, but if you move around, I might accidentally pierce a vital point and you'll lose your life …"
The white-faced Foundation Establishment cultivator smiled sinisterly and arrived in front of the cage. His gaze turned cold and the copper nail pierced through the bars toward Fang Xing's back.
Fang Xing watched coldly. Suddenly, his palm flipped in the narrow space and a gravitational force appeared out of thin air, pulling the white-faced Foundation Establishment cultivator toward the cage. He wanted to strangle him to death first. Seeing this, the yellow-robed cultivator next to him coldly snorted and pressed his palm against the air. A surge of Gold Core power surged out and cut off Fang Xing's gravitational force. The Foundation Establishment cultivator stabilized his body and took a few deep breaths. He was obviously a bit frightened. Gritting his teeth, a ruthless expression appeared on his face, and with a "chi" sound, he pierced the copper nail into Fang Xing's left rib.
Fang Xing was now at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. His body had been tempered by the Samadhi True Fire until it was like copper skin and iron bones. Not to mention secular swords, even flying swords and magical weapons would find it difficult to injure him. However, this copper nail was specially made to deal with fierce beasts with tyrannical bodies. It contained a cold yin power and pierced the copper scales like tofu. Fang Xing's copper skin and iron bones couldn't defend against it, and he was actually pierced more than half a foot deep.
"Even the armor-piercing nail can only pierce half a foot deep. This little monster's body is not inferior to that of a fierce beast …"
The white-faced Foundation Establishment cultivator sighed. Even the pupils of the three Gold Core cultivators shrank.
They had already discovered that although the three of them had formed their Gold Cores, in terms of body strength, they were not as good as this Foundation Establishment kid.
As for Fang Xing, he only grunted when the copper nail was nailed into his body. At that moment, he didn't beg for mercy anymore. He looked at the female childe with a malicious gaze, then closed his eyes slightly, circulated his spiritual power with all his strength, and released his aura.
The female childe noticed Fang Xing's gaze, and her heart inexplicably trembled. She subconsciously wanted to ask people to stop the torture, but on second thought, she was the one who gave the order to carry out the torture. If she asked people to stop now, wouldn't she lose face? She snorted coldly and said slowly, "The 18 Ominous Piercing Nails don't feel good, right? If you want to suffer less, then tell me the truth. Who are you?! "
Fang Xing glanced at her indifferently and said, "You'll know who I am!"
Seeing that, the female childe was even more resentful. She shouted, "Why are you so slow? Nail him a few more!"
Seeing that, the white-faced Foundation Establishment Cultivator hurriedly went forward with two more copper nails and stabbed them into Fang Xing's right ribs and back.
Chi! Chi! Fang Xing's expression didn't change at all. Instead, he closed his eyes slightly and circulated his spiritual power crazily.
It would have been fine if he didn't circulate his spiritual power, but once he did, the blood in his body immediately spurted out along the grooves of the Ominous Piercing Nails, splashing blood all over the cage. When the onlookers saw him like that, they couldn't understand why he did that. It looked like he was courting death on purpose. Someone even laughed and said, "This guy seems to want to suffer less. He's courting death …"
Someone else laughed and said, "Now that the childe hasn't said anything, he can't die even if he wants to. Old Jiu, be careful …"
The white-faced Foundation Establishment Cultivator chuckled and said, "He's behaving now. Don't worry, the 18 Ominous Piercing Nails will pierce through his body and soul. As long as the nails hit the right spot, he won't die even if his blood runs dry. Don't you trust my skills?"
When the crowd heard that, they immediately burst into laughter. Even the female childe had a faint smile on her face.
However, in the midst of everyone's laughter, a dragon's roar suddenly sounded in the distance …
