Li silently shed tears, but stubbornly bit his lips, trying not to cry out loud. His inconsolable look made Ding Ning's heart ache.
"Are you satisfied now?"
Ding Ning had nowhere to vent his anger, and suddenly punched An Ze hard in the face, causing him to scream again and again, covering his face and retreating.
Ding Ning was like an angry lion, punching and kicking like a storm. Although he felt every punch and every kick, he was a person who had been trained as a soldier, and his ability to endure pain was far from that of ordinary people.
"Spare me, I was wrong, okay?"
An Ze finally knew what a madman was, crying and begging for mercy.
"Wrong? That's two human lives we're talking about! Do you think you can get over it just by saying you were wrong? "
Ding Ning roared furiously, but his hands were merciless, madly beating An Ze like a mad tiger.
He was punishing An Ze, and at the same time, he was punishing himself. If he hadn't been overcautious and worried about changing history, maybe Jue and Lu wouldn't have died.
Although he knew that in that situation, his choice was not wrong, but seeing Jue and Lu die like this, he still couldn't get over his conscience.
He didn't regret it, nor did he blame himself. If he could do it again, he would still make the same choice as before.
Beating An Ze also hurt his body. He just wanted to use this kind of self-torturing method to vent the grievance and depression in his heart that he couldn't vent.
"Enough, what does this have to do with me? This is the family's arrangement, and I'm just an executor. Don't hit me anymore, do you really think I won't fight back? I've tolerated you for a long time."
An Ze was finally angry, holding his head and roaring with red eyes.
Since childhood, although he had suffered sarcastic remarks because of his aptitude, his identity was there, and no one had really beaten him like this.
"Come on, fight back, it's best if we die together, then I'll feel comfortable."
Ding Ning was like a madman, revealing a mouthful of cold white teeth, and his smile made people's hearts palpitate, but his hands didn't stop at all, and he madly beat him.
"F * ck, lunatic, you're a f * cking lunatic. Come on, beat me to death. At most, we'll die together."
Even a clay figurine had a temper. After being beaten by Ding Ning like this, An Ze's fierceness was finally aroused. He roared loudly and punched Ding Ning's face without hesitation, sending him flying backward.
"Ouch!"
Ding Ning did not make a sound. An Ze screamed in pain.
Only now did he know what kind of pain Ding Ning had to endure when beating him. This discouraged him and made him feel waves of fear.
Did this guy not feel any pain at all? What a complete lunatic. The people in this plane were all f * cking lunatics.
"Come on, continue, don't stop."
Ding Ning rolled to his feet, wiped the soul blood from the corner of his mouth, and grinned, revealing his blood-stained white teeth. He looked extremely ferocious.
"I won't hit you anymore, I won't hit you anymore, okay?"
An Ze felt pain all over his body as if his bones were broken. He waved his hands and said with grievance, "I know you're unhappy, but you really can't blame me for this. I don't have any say in the family. I do what the family arranges for me. If you're really angry, vent it on my family. Is it really meaningful to argue with me?"
"You mean, you're innocent? It's my fault for venting my anger on you? "
Ding Ning narrowed his bruised eyes, and a frightening cold light shot out from his eyes. What he hated the most was this kind of person who acted righteously and thought he was innocent after doing something wrong.
An Ze's heart trembled. He waved his hands and retreated, and said with grievance, "Brother, you're my big brother, okay? Stop, really stop. I'm not saying I'm innocent. I'm definitely responsible for this, but think about it, I'm just a disciple of the family. I have to do what the higher-ups arrange for me. Didn't I promise you just now to try my best to stop Black Devil No. 1? Who would have thought that they would be so unyielding and self-destruct just like that? I didn't even have time to react. "
Ding Ning gradually calmed down. Although An Ze's words still seemed to have the intention of shirking responsibility, what he said was not without reason. Although he was responsible for this, the biggest culprit who caused the deaths and killings was the An Family.
Although An Ze deserved to die, and he wanted to kill him immediately, in their current state, if he killed An Ze, he would have to die with him. This price was not something he could afford.
Thinking of this, Ding Ning sat on the ground and stared coldly at An Ze until An Ze's hair stood on end. Then, like summoning a puppy, he crooked his finger and said, "Come here."
"Ah … oh."
An Ze was really scared by him. If Ding Ning dared to humiliate him like this before, he would definitely fly into a rage. But now, he was as obedient as a pug, timidly moving forward and squatting in front of Ding Ning, his face full of fear.
"Tell me, how can we get out of this state?"
Ding Ning asked expressionlessly.
An Ze's heart clenched, and his eyes flickered as he said, "Once the Spiritual Embryo is formed, it's utterly impossible to get rid of it. Only when the embryo is nurtured to perfection will it naturally be born."
"You're saying that we can't be separated from each other in the future? Do you think I'm an idiot? "
Ding Ning didn't believe him at all, and he laughed with ridicule.
"I'm telling the truth. It's really impossible to get rid of it."
An Ze shrunk back in fear, and his expression was as sincere as it could be.
Ding Ning didn't say anything. He continued to stare at him, causing him to squirm uneasily. He gritted his teeth and lowered his head, refusing to look at Ding Ning. He said in a low voice, "Only when we reach the Origin Realm and the elders of the clan help us will they be able to separate us."
In reality, it wasn't that their current state was impossible to get rid of, but An Ze had gone through untold hardships to arrive at this step. So long as he persisted for a while longer, returned to the Origin World, and then asked the seniors of his clan to help, he would be able to separate Ding Ning's soul.
In that way, not only would he be able to obtain the secrets within An Ze's memories, he would be able to take sole possession of this soul and become a true Dao Embryo. From then on, the Grand Dao would reach the heavens, and his future would be limitless.
His lack of natural talent was the greatest knot in his heart. He was afraid of death and pain, but he was even more afraid of being looked down upon by others. This was his bottom line, and he wouldn't speak of it even if he died.
Ding Ning suddenly smiled. His smile was extremely brilliant, but there was no warmth in his eyes. There was only bone piercingly icy coldness.
He hadn't learned psychology for nothing. He was able to discern from An Ze's unsteady gaze and lowered head in guilt that An Ze was lying.
There was definitely a way to get rid of their current state, and An Ze was just unwilling to speak of it. But what did that matter? So long as there was a way to get rid of their current state, then he was confident that he would be able to obtain it from An Ze's memories.
The Soul Search Technique was a very cruel technique, and the person whose soul was searched would either lose their life or become an idiot.
No matter how ferocious and evil his enemies were, Ding Ning was usually unwilling to use this sort of evil technique that went against his conscience.
Yet now, he'd decided that An Ze would be the first person to have his soul searched.
Those who aren't of my race definitely have different intentions.
He wouldn't show any mercy to invaders, nor would he show any mercy to them.
Not to mention that he'd already given An Ze a chance, but it was An Ze who didn't know how to cherish it. Even now, An Ze still didn't know how to repent, and he even intended to deceive Ding Ning into the Origin World to obtain what he wanted.
An Ze's hair stood on end from Ding Ning's laughter, and he felt faintly uneasy. He kept having the feeling that this madman didn't act according to convention, and he didn't know what he was up to.
"Seal!"
Right when he was feeling uneasy, he suddenly heard Ding Ning say the word 'seal'. Before he could react, he saw talisman markings flicker on Ding Ning's hand as he slapped it against his chest.
An Ze's expression changed violently, and he shouted with disbelief. "You've already recovered your memories?"
"Of course. Don't you find these talisman markings very familiar?"
Ding Ning's lips curled into a mocking smile as he spoke softly. However, his hand didn't stop at all, and he continued to slap talisman markings all over An Ze's body.
After all, no matter what, this guy was still a Pseudo Quintessence Dao expert. He'd tolerated Ding Ning because he cherished his life and didn't dare to take Ding Ning down with him. Thus, Ding Ning needed some insurance.
When An Ze had sealed Ding Ning's memories earlier, he'd sealed a total of eighty-one layers. Ding Ning was even more ruthless, and he'd directly sealed three hundred and sixty layers. Just slapping the talisman markings had taken nearly five minutes, and he'd completely sealed An Ze's memories. Even if this bastard knew sealing techniques, it would still be impossible to open so many seals without a few hours.
Moreover, besides his memories, Ding Ning had sealed every single joint in An Ze's body, so An Ze didn't even have the chance to break the seals.
Thump!
An Ze fell to the ground with his head raised. He lay there like a vegetable. Only his eyes and mouth could move.
"You regained your memories a long time ago, so you've been acting all this time. You threatened me with taking me down with you, right?"
An Ze questioned unwillingly. His heart was filled with regret. If he'd known that Ding Ning had regained his memories, he wouldn't have been afraid of Ding Ning's threat. How could someone he cared about die so easily?
"So what if I regained my memories? In the eyes of people like you, your lives are more precious than anyone else's, but in my eyes, all lives are equal. No one's life is more valuable than anyone else's. As long as I think it's worth it, I'll risk my life at any time. "
Ding Ning didn't have the expression of a scoundrel intoxicated by success that he'd imagined. Instead, he replied with an extremely serious expression.
This made An Ze sigh softly. "Then I didn't lose out. You're indeed a madman."
"If we don't go crazy, we won't survive. We're too weak, and you're too strong. The difference in strength is too great, so we can only play crazy with you."
Ding Ning seemed to be joking, but his tone was not joking at all.
An Ze stared fixedly at him. After a long while, he said leisurely, "I admit that you are a bunch of lunatics. My family shouldn't have provoked you. However, what can you do even if you seal me now? If you kill me, you'll die as well. "
"Even now, you're still hoping for a fluke? I'm not sure if you've heard of a spell called Soul Searching? "
Ding Ning looked at him with a spurious smile and started to play psychological warfare. If he could make An Ze speak first, he would try his best not to use the Soul Searching Technique.
Because the conditions for using the Soul Searching Technique were extremely harsh, if he used it on someone with a higher level of cultivation, he would suffer a backlash. Thus, for the sake of safety, the Soul Searching Technique was his last option.
"The Soul Searching Technique?"
An Ze's eyes widened in shock, and he looked at Ding Ning in disbelief.
"Not bad. Looks like the Origin Realm also has this technique. That's for the best. That saves me the trouble of explaining to you what the Soul Searching Technique is."
Ding Ning was very satisfied with An Ze's reaction. He only needed to know how terrifying the Soul Searching Technique was. He didn't believe that this fellow, who treasured his life so much, would dare to play tricks on him.
But he hadn't expected An Ze's reaction to be far beyond his expectations. He yelled with extreme emotion, "No, that's impossible. The Soul Searching Technique is a secret technique unique to my Black Demon Ancestor. It was lost with the Ancestor's disappearance a long time ago. How could you possibly know about the Soul Searching Technique?"
