’He won’t be able to maintain this state for long.’
Wu Taeyong endured another punch while thinking.
’He has only just broken through.’
’There’s no way his body can sustain such an explosive output indefinitely.’
And he was right.
Several minutes later...
The blue lightning surrounding Shen Kai suddenly began to weaken.
Crackle...
Crackle...
The dazzling lightning gradually dissipated.
The terrifying speed disappeared also with it.
What appeared before everyone’s eyes was Shen Kai’s battered body.
His clothes were torn apart.
His body was covered in scorched wounds.
Blood flowed from numerous injuries, while his breathing had become heavy and ragged.
His fists trembled.
He had exhausted himself.
Wu Taeyong slowly straightened his body.
The injuries Shen Kai had inflicted upon him were already recovering.
His flesh rapidly regenerated and the wounds closed.
His aura remained terrifyingly powerful.
He looked at the exhausted Shen Kai and sneered.
"Out of steam already?"
Shen Kai’s face was pale.
He tried to raise his fists again.
But his body had already reached its limit.
Wu Taeyong’s eyes flashed coldly.
"Then..."
"It’s my turn."
He raised both hands.
Dark energy rapidly gathered around his claws.
The energy condensed into enormous claws above his hands.
Shing!
Wu Taeyong casually swept them forward.
Shen Kai was already too exhausted to dodge.
The gigantic claws tore through his body.
Puchi!
They ripped through his ribs, leaving a horrifying wound as blood and internal organs spilled out.
Shen Kai’s body was sent flying.
"Granduncle!"
Yang Qingxi screamed. Her heart tightened as she watched Shen Kai’s body crash into the ground.
Wu Taeyong glanced toward her.
A sinister grin appeared on his grotesque face.
"Wait there, missy."
"It’s not your turn yet."
His figure blurred.
The next moment...
He appeared beside one of the elders who had entered the prison alongside Wu Haruto.
The elder hadn’t even realized Wu Taeyong had approached.
Puchi!
Wu Taeyong’s claw pierced directly through his throat.
The elder’s eyes widened. His body went limp.
Wu Taeyong casually withdrew his claw.
The corpse fell to the ground.
The surrounding cultivators stared in horror. Their hearts sank.
One cultivator couldn’t help muttering,
"We’re done for..."
The heavy hitters had fallen one after another.
Su Mo had fallen in trap.
Dowblis Snake was down.
Shen Kai’s life and death was unknown.
Several elders had already been killed.
Even the Prisoners were being slaughtered.
What could they possibly do now?
All they could do...was wait for death.
"R-Run!"
Some cultivators finally lost their courage.
Seeing the situation deteriorate, they turned around and attempted to flee.
Wu Taeyong sneered.
"Where can you run?"
"There is only one path waiting for you."
He disappeared. His figure flashed across the battlefield.
"To hell."
Boom!
The fleeing cultivators were killed one after another.
Wu Taeyong moved through the battlefield with terrifying speed, slaughtering those who attempted to escape first.
The remaining elders also understood the grim situation.
Yet none of them fled.
They tightened their grips on their weapons.
If they were going to die...
They would at least fight until their final breatha and die with dignity.
Meanwhile...
Inside the Thousand Ghost Sealing Cage, Su Mo watched everything unfold with gritted teeth.
He had attacked the ghostly cage repeatedly, attempting to find an opening. It didn’t work.
He had even searched through the System Store for something that could help him escape.
But...
The price of every item capable of helping him in his current predicament was far beyond what he could afford.
At this moment, Su Mo finally understood just how lacking his system points actually were.
If he could have accumulated more... Perhaps he wouldn’t be trapped here helplessly.
But realizing that now was completely useless.
’Fuck...!’
Dowblis Snake was down.
His granduncle’s life and death were unknown.
The elders were dying one after another.
Even his Demonic Servants were being slaughtered.
And it wouldn’t be long...
Before Wu Taeyong turned his attention toward Yang Qingxi.
Su Mo’s fists tightened.
He desperately searched for another solution.
But there was nothing.
Then...
His expression suddenly changed.
Yang Qingxi who was in grief suddenly moved.
She was actually preparing to rush toward Wu Taeyong.
Su Mo’s heart jumped.
’Shit!’
["Qingxi, don’t do anything stupid!"]
He immediately sent a spiritual message.
But the Thousand Ghost Sealing Cage completely isolated him from the outside.
His spiritual message couldn’t pass through.
Su Mo could only watch helplessly.
His fists clenched until his nails dug into his palms.
[Don’t. Please don’t. You’ll die.]
He could do nothing except pray that she would stop.
Fortunately... It seemed his prayers had been answered.
Yang Qingxi suddenly halted.
She stood there silently for a moment. Then she slowly turned her head.
Her gaze fell directly upon the ghostly cage where Su Mo was trapped.
Their eyes as if met through the countless translucent ghosts.
And for a brief moment... Neither of them moved.
Su Mo immediately began signaling toward Yang Qingxi.
He shook his head repeatedly.
His eyes clearly conveyed a single message.
Don’t go!
Whether Yang Qingxi understood his gestures or not, she gave him an unwilling look.
Then... She rushed toward Wu Taeyong.
Su Mo’s heart sank.
He gritted his teeth so hard that his jaw began to ache.
Helplessness. Despair.
These emotions surged through him like a tide.
For the first time in a long while... Su Mo felt truly powerless.
"Why was I so reckless?"
His voice was barely audible.
"If I hadn’t been so reckless... None of this would have happened. No one would have died."
His fists clenched tightly.
Blood suddenly seeped from his palms.
Yet within moments, the wounds closed under the effect of his powerful constitution.
"Qingxi wouldn’t have been in danger."
His eyes became increasingly bloodshot.
He stared at her rushing figure through the ghostly cage.
"Hahaha..."
A miserable laugh escaped his lips.
What was the point?
What was the point of possessing so many cheats if the person he cared about died?
What was the point of becoming stronger?
