In the huge underground space, Yuan Gang didn't dare to make any loud noises as he was afraid of alerting the guards. He only let out soft whimpers.
Jade silkworms slid down from the ceiling and slowly climbed onto the cocoon. They lined up vertically on Yuan Gang's back and started gnawing on the thick cocoon.
When he felt that it was about time, the jade silkworms started to work on their own. Yuan Gang also shut up. His hair was disheveled from the torture and he didn't look like a human anymore.
Hua Meiru would come here almost every day to torture him.
He didn't want to sit around and wait for death. He tried to summon the jade silkworms and found that it worked.
Time passed slowly. Occasionally, a guard would pass by and take a look at him.
At first, the guard would circle around to check. Later, knowing that he couldn't escape, they didn't want to walk back and forth anymore. They would pass by when they saw him.
Yuan Gang took advantage of this loophole and secretly carried out his plan.
Time couldn't be seen in the cave. He didn't know how much time had passed. Yuan Gang, who was wrapped in the cocoon, repeatedly stretched his arms.
When the jade silkworms had bitten off all the threads on his back, his arms could already stretch his back and he could escape from the cocoon. Instead, he shrank his body and stopped moving.
There were guards at the exit. Moreover, this was the Peerless Sacred Land. He didn't think he could escape.
He slowly closed his eyes and began to meditate. He was waiting!
It was like a hunter on the hunt, lying dormant and waiting for its prey to arrive.
After an unknown period of time, footsteps could be heard. Yuan Gang suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the entrance.
Sure enough, Hua Meiru appeared again. Her neck was still wrapped in gauze. She walked towards him with a faint smile.
Hua Meiru walked to the hanging area and landed on top of a towering rock. He took out a handful of items. "Take a look. What's this?" It was a few thin steel needles with sharp tips. "Aren't you coarse and thick? I want to see if your skin is thicker or my needles are sharper. I specially made these for you."
"Master gave me three days. If you don't agree, I can't do anything about it."
"What do you think I will do? Pierce into your body and blind your eyes … Oh right, do you know why it's light red? Once it enters your body, that feeling … will make you wish you were dead instead! "
His smile was filled with endless hatred. The tip of the needle teased Yuan Gang's face and even touched his eyelids, as if it would pierce into his eyes at any moment.
His throat had been bitten by Yuan Gang, and his voice had clearly changed. It had become hoarse.
Ding ding! He tapped the steel needle in his hand. "I'll ask you one last time. Can you summon the Scorpion King?"
Yuan Gang suddenly looked behind her. "Who are they?"
Who? Hua Meiru immediately turned her head to look, but didn't see anything. Suddenly, she sensed that something was wrong. She had already heard the sound of rushing wind behind her. She spun around and stabbed the steel needle in her hand.
She had already seen Yuan Gang break free from the cocoon and grab her. Without hesitation, the steel needle fiercely stabbed towards Yuan Gang's arm.
However, Yuan Gang was even more ruthless than her. His hair was disheveled, and he was like a demon that had escaped from its shackles. He did not dodge or evade, and his attacks were fast and ruthless. He allowed the sharp steel needle to pierce into his forearm and penetrate his arm bone. His five claws flipped, and in an instant, he grabbed onto Hua Mei's wrist and pulled her toward him.
Hua Meiru was shocked. She knew that Yuan Gang's brute strength was astonishing, and she knew the consequences of being caught.
Caught off guard, she was dragged to the side. As she fell, the steel needles in her other hand stabbed towards Yuan Gang's abdomen.
Pu! The steel needles pierced his abdomen. He did not dodge or evade, allowing them to penetrate him. Instead, he swung his arm towards her neck.
Such a reckless fighting style. Neck again? When Hua Meiru thought of that bloody mouth, her legs went weak. She was so frightened that her soul left her body. She wanted to twist her body to dodge, but it was already too late. Just as she turned around, Yuan Gang grabbed her neck.
How could a cultivator be so reckless in close combat? Hua Meiru was not used to it, nor was she good at it. But Yuan Gang was.
One of her hands was grabbed, and then her neck. Hua Meiru desperately cast her arts to defend herself, protecting her vital parts. At the same time, she cast her arts and swung her elbow, hitting Yuan Gang's body behind her.
With every hit, Yuan Gang's abdomen, which had been pierced by the steel needles, would bleed. But he did not let go. He jumped up and used his legs to clamp onto Hua Meiru's waist, riding on her waist. The two of them fell from the rock at the same time, crashing to the ground.
The guards at the cave entrance were bowing to the newcomers. Lu Wushuang had arrived. She was accompanied by an old woman with white hair, eyebrows, and a pale face. She was Granny Xue.
The sudden change shocked everyone. When they looked over, they were all shocked.
Yuan Gang, who was rolling on the ground, desperately tried to break Hua Meiru's neck. Hua Meiru concentrated her transcendence energy to defend herself, but Yuan Gang was unable to do so.
Just as he was about to land a heavy blow on Hua Meiru, Lv Wushuang suddenly appeared. The hand that had been choking Hua Meiru suddenly moved to touch Hua Meiru's face, his fingers like hooks. "ARGH!" With an angry roar, Lv Wushuang stabbed two fingers into Hua Meiru's eyes.
"Ah!" Hua Meiru screamed in pain. Blood spurted out of her eye sockets.
"Stop!" Lu Wushuang shouted angrily.
Yuan Gang would not stop. He had no hope of returning alive. He was just killing to get his revenge!
Taking advantage of Hua Meiru's pain, he grabbed her neck with both hands and twisted her with all his might.
With a loud crack, Hua Meiru's head was twisted to the back.
Lu Wushuang's palm landed on Hua Meiru's body. His transcendence energy passed through Hua Meiru's body. "Boom!" Yuan Gang was sent flying like a meteor, crashing into the stone wall of the cave dozens of feet away. He fell to the ground along with a few pieces of rubble. He coughed up blood!
Granny Xue stared blankly at the scene. She did not expect to see such a crazy thing happen as soon as she arrived!
Lu Wushuang landed on the ground and saw Hua Meiru lying on the ground. His face was stuck to the ground, and blood was gushing out of his mouth. His limbs were still twitching.
After all, he was his disciple! Lu Wushuang quickly knelt on one knee and cast an emergency spell to save him. However, it was useless. Hua Meiru had already suffered a fatal blow. The transcendence energy he had injected into his body had finally stopped circulating. Hua Meiru's trembling limbs stiffened and then went completely still. Only blood continued to seep out of his body.
Lu Wushuang's face tightened. He used both hands to turn Hua Meiru's head around. His eyes had already become two bloody holes. His mouth was open and filled with blood. It was a horrible sight.
Lu Wushuang looked up angrily at Yuan Gang. He saw that the two guards who had dashed over had been stopped by Granny Xue.
Lu Wushuang slowly stood up. "Old witch, what do you want?"
"Crash!" Yuan Gang's face was covered in dirt. After a while, he crawled up from the rubble, gasping for breath. His hair was disheveled, and his face was covered in blood. He could not even stand straight, and his body was swaying slightly.
He raised his hand and grabbed the steel needle on his other arm. He pulled it out forcefully and threw it to the ground with a clang.
His hands touched his bleeding abdomen. He grabbed the steel needle, which was as long as a chopstick, and pulled it out with all his might. "Ugh …" He groaned in pain, and a stream of blood came out of his mouth. He pulled out the steel needles with all his might and threw them to the ground with a clang.
He seemed to lose his balance. He slowly retreated and leaned against the stone wall, gasping for breath. When he saw Hua Meiru lying dead on the ground, his face revealed a ferocious smile.
Granny Xue ignored Lu Wushuang. She stared at him and asked, "Are you Yuan Gang?"
Yuan Gang panted. "So what if I am? I've done enough! "
Granny Xue's ears twitched. She quickly grabbed Yuan Gang's arm and changed positions with him.
Lu Wushuang fell to the ground and turned to face Granny Xue. He pointed at Yuan Gang and shouted, "Old witch, are you trying to steal someone from my Peerless Sacred Land? Aren't you afraid that I will massacre your Sacred Land of Ice? "
Granny Xue pointed her walking stick at the bloody steel needle on the ground. "Steal someone? I wouldn't dare! But look at what you're doing! If I had come a moment later, this person would have been killed by you! Since I've run into you, I'm going to do justice! "
Now, she suspected that the other side had already found out what they wanted and wanted to silence them. However, she didn't expect that an accident would happen and she didn't have the time to arrive. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence?
Lu Wushuang said coldly, "Put him down. I promise I won't kill him. We'll deal with him together!"
"This …" Granny Xue glanced at the corpse on the ground and smiled. She quickly pulled Yuan Gang toward the entrance of the cave.
Lu Wushuang flew into a rage and hurriedly chased after them.
Granny Xue waved her walking stick at the entrance of the cave. The moisture in the air gathered and formed a thick layer of ice behind her.
A few ribbons shot out of Lu Wushuang's sleeves as she chased after him. Like rays of light, the layers of ice in front of her were blasted apart. Wherever her figure passed, the flying ice turned into powder.
Once they were out of the cave, Granny Xue pulled Yuan Gang and flew into the sky.
The ice blocking the entrance of the cave shattered. Lu Wushuang looked up and waved her sleeves. She shot into the sky.
The people from the Peerless Sacred Land looked up. The cultivators who came out of the cave shouted.
Soon, dozens of flying mounts carrying people quickly rose into the sky and chased in the direction that Lv Wushuang had gone …
Flying with one person was a burden. Seeing that Lv Wushuang was getting closer and closer, Granny Snow, who was flying across the sky, suddenly cried out and waved her walking stick in the air.
The temperature seemed to drop instantly. Countless snowflakes appeared out of nowhere and fell from the sky.
As Granny Xue waved her walking stick behind her, countless snowflakes were blown backward like countless spinning blades.
Then, countless icicles formed from snowflakes shot out.
Lu Wushuang spread out her sleeves and several ribbons intertwined like a drill that spun rapidly. She passed through the intertwining attacks of ice and snow amidst the rapidly spinning cone-shaped protection, making a crashing sound.
This kind of attack could not hurt her. It could only slow down her flying speed slightly.
Granny Xue looked back and smiled. Then, she looked at Yuan Gang, who was still dripping blood. "Silly boy, you're lucky to have met me today!"
She could not believe that Yuan Gang was the one who initiated the attack. She still thought that the Peerless Sacred Land wanted to kill him but did not succeed before she arrived.
The sky was covered with dark clouds. Granny Xue carried Yuan Gang and flew into the clouds.
Lu Wushuang, with her ribbon fluttering like a fairy, quickly caught up and rushed into the dark clouds.
The dark clouds blocked the view, but there were indeed signs of something flying by. She followed the path of the clouds and gave chase.
