Zhi Gui’s face changed. "Who?"
Two figures appeared in front of Zhi Gui, a young man and a Daoist!
The young man was extremely handsome, Zhi Gui couldn't make out the Daoist's appearance, but his aura was incredibly lazy!
The young man laughed. "Hello, my name is Chen Sui Nian!"
"I'm the eldest son who you said deserved to die, the brother of Chen Ping An, whose brothers and sisters you said are dead!"
"I'm also the one you think has decent luck, and tastes pretty good!"
Zhi Gui laughed. "So? What do you want? What can you do? You..."
In the next moment, the talisman in Chen Sui Nian's hand transformed, turning into thousands of talismans.
The talismans connected with each other, forming an array!
The talismans rapidly changed, spreading out at an incredible speed, covering the entire courtyard.
Like stars, the talismans were connected in an orderly manner, slowly forming a grand array.
Each talisman emitted a faint light, intertwining with each other, sketching countless incantations and mystical symbols in the space.
This array emitted an aura that Zhi Gui was incredibly familiar with.
Chen Sui Nian’s eyes shone with a purple light, his fingers lightly twirling the talisman.
Chen Sui Nian suddenly looked up towards the direction of Yang's shop, his voice echoing through the air. "I know what I'm doing!"
Old Man Yang nodded slightly. Just a beast, it must be kept alive for now!
Zhi Gui looked at the talisman array, her face turning pale.
Her eyes darted around the talisman array, initially filled with curiosity, then transforming into confusion, finally becoming terror. Her pupils constricted violently, her eyes filled with disbelief and fear.
This is… the Dragon-Slaying Array!
No! There’s also the Dragon-Binding Array!
No! And also the array currently trapping her!
When Zhi Gui realized that the talisman array was specifically designed to trap her, she prepared to use all her magical power to break free!
But when she released her magical power, she discovered that all her strength was sealed.
She felt fear, a feeling she knew well, a feeling she experienced constantly three thousand years ago!
After escaping from the well, she swore that she would never be treated like this again. She would seek revenge!
But now, tiny beads of sweat trickled down Zhi Gui’s forehead. Her trembling fingers pointed weakly at the talisman array, as if wanting to escape but having nowhere to go.
Her body trembled slightly. The array made her feel incredibly small and vulnerable.
How could this simple array make her feel like she was facing the solemn and grand Dao of Heaven?
She felt insignificant, unable to resist or comprehend it.
Zhi Gui’s lips trembled, but no sound escaped. Her mind was in chaos.
Finally, when the talisman array emitted a stronger light and pressure, Zhi Gui could no longer hold on. She fell to her knees, supporting herself with her hands, her sweat flowing profusely.
Chen Sui Nian waved his hand, and Zhi Gui felt the pressure disappear.
But immediately after, Chen Sui Nian teleported directly in front of Zhi Gui, kicking her with his foot, sending her flying to the right.
Then, without giving Zhi Gui any time to react, Chen Sui Nian instantly appeared before her again, stomping down hard, breaking her right hand.
A hint of disdain and mockery flickered in Chen Sui Nian’s eyes. He sneered at Zhi Gui, who was trembling on the ground. Looking at Zhi Gui’s stubborn golden eyes, Chen Sui Nian let out a cold and cruel light, as if looking at a weak and insignificant insect.
He raised his hand, effortlessly lifting Zhi Gui with his magical power. Zhi Gui’s body trembled in his palm, her eyes filled with fear and despair. She could feel the powerful pressure emanating from Chen Sui Nian.
Under this grand array, she was just an ordinary person!
"Oh? You're finally coming to your senses?" Chen Sui Nian said with a sneer, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Unfortunately, I only stepped on your right hand!"
Chen Sui Nian used his magical power to lift Zhi Gui up, looking into her stubborn golden eyes. He smiled.
Suddenly, he mercilessly reached out and gouged out her golden eyes. A horrific sound echoed throughout the small courtyard.
Blood slowly oozed from Zhi Gui’s eyes, staining Chen Sui Nian’s palm crimson.
Zhi Gui let out a heart-wrenching scream. Her body convulsed in pain, her hands covering her eyes. Blood seeped through her fingers.
Her contorted face of agony was terrifying.
Chen Sui Nian ruthlessly threw Zhi Gui’s golden eyes on the ground. The golden orbs, once filled with spirit and sharp intelligence, now lay there, nothing but flesh.
Zhi Gui’s face was now covered in blood. She trembled uncontrollably. The excruciating pain of having her eyes gouged out was unbearable.
The entire array was filled with the stench of blood and the pervasive feeling of dread. Chen Sui Nian was still smiling, but his purple eyes only reflected coldness and ruthlessness.
Chen Sui Nian’s smile remained. "The three schools of Buddhism, Daoism, and Confucianism, I thought I was too merciful back then. You have to simply obliterate beasts!"
"What talismanic corrosion, what Buddhist thunderous chants, what Confucian righteous energy, nonsense! Only the brutal punishments of the military school even remotely qualify as punishment!"
"Lu Chen, do you know the biggest difference between beasts and humans?"
"That is, while humans consider eating very important, most people don't see eating as the most important thing. Because humans think they can't be simply controlled by eating!"
"But beasts are different. Besides eating, they can only eat! In their eyes, filling their bellies is a matter of course, no matter the means, even if it’s like this!"
"But I can understand other animals, but this is a dragon!"
"Dragon Clan are the most arrogant, the most proud. In the books I read, they described how they would rather starve than accept food from the weak. They look down on the weak, even killing them, but the Dragon Clan will never torture the weak!"
"And they think they’re not animals, they’re a different race like humans!"
Chen Sui Nian looked at Zhi Gui, mockingly. "But it seems, she’s not."
Zhi Gui laughed miserably. "I'm about to die, so I care about this? You scholars are like this, always talking about principles!"
Chen Sui Nian laughed. "Yes, I'm stronger than you, so I am the principle!"
Zhi Gui's face contorted in fury, her voice filled with disdain. "Come on, what else do you have? I can take it! I'll tell you, I still think Chen Ping An’s luck tastes good, much better than yours!"
Chen Sui Nian chuckled softly. The next moment, Zhi Gui’s body was ruthlessly thrown to the ground by Chen Sui Nian. She crashed onto the ground, accompanied by a dull thud.
Then, Zhi Gui’s seven orifices began to bleed.
Zhi Gui felt her consciousness fading. The world around her became blurred. Her body experienced excruciating pain and weakness.
Chen Sui Nian pinched his fingers together, and a mysterious talisman appeared out of thin air, flying towards Zhi Gui.
The talisman transformed into shimmering light, piercing through Zhi Gui’s skin, entering her body.
With the help of the talisman’s mystical light, Zhi Gui’s injuries miraculously began to heal rapidly, even the destroyed legs returning to their original state.
However, Chen Sui Nian struck again, injecting two talismans into Zhi Gui’s body.
These talismans were different from the previous one. The light they emitted disappeared between Zhi Gui’s eyebrows. Zhi Gui then felt an indescribable pain, as if her soul was being torn apart.
Experience Liu Zhi Mao’s pain!
This tearing sensation was different from the physical pain, a deep, soul-wrenching agony that made Zhi Gui feel like she was adrift in infinite nothingness, as if her soul was tossed about in an endless abyss.
She felt as if time had stopped, the world around her becoming blurry and distorted, all sensations distant and indistinguishable.
After an eternity of this ethereal journey, the soul-rending pain finally subsided.
Zhi Gui’s body was like a ravaged puppet, lifeless and drained of vitality.
Chen Sui Nian healed Zhi Gui again and started anew!
This time, Zhi Gui was suddenly crushed by an invisible weight, her flesh and bones shattering.
She lay on the ground, collapsed in a pool of blood, as miserable as a pile of mud.
Zhi Gui’s brow was filled with despair and agony. Her lips trembled slightly, but she couldn't make a sound. Only a trace of blood flowed from her mouth, accompanying her trembling body.
The air was thick with the smell of blood and death. The air solidified in a somber silence.
Zhi Gui’s body was so small and fragile in this desolate atmosphere, as if a gentle breeze could blow her away.
Chen Sui Nian stood aside, his gaze cold and emotionless.
The second time, the torture of crushing flesh and bone.
The third time, Chen Sui Nian extracted Zhi Gui’s luck, taking away all the luck that Chen Ping An had swallowed over the years.
The fourth time, Chen Sui Nian extracted Zhi Gui’s dragon tendon, skinned her!
The fifth time...
The sixth time…
…
The ninth time… Zhi Gui cried, saying she was wrong! Chen Sui Nian ignored her.
…
The thirty-third time, Zhi Gui kowtowed, saying she really knew she was wrong, but Chen Sui Nian still ignored her.
…
The sixty-sixth time, Zhi Gui said, she really knew she was wrong! She would never swallow Chen Ping An’s luck again. Chen Sui Nian simply chuckled.
…
The eighty-eighth time, Zhi Gui was numb, saying she would definitely listen from now on.
…
The ninety-ninth time, Zhi Gui didn't say anything. She felt like she was going to die. She said, "I won't change, even if I die!"
…
The nine hundred and ninety-ninth time, Zhi Gui said, she would seriously fulfill her contract with Chen Ping An. Chen Ping An would be the master, and she would be the follower! And she would learn Confucian principles and etiquette!
After an unknown number of times, Zhi Gui's words finally caused Chen Sui Nian to smile and nod!
Zhi Gui opened her eyes and saw Chen Sui Nian sitting in front of her. At the sight of Chen Sui Nian, her body trembled!
She discovered that her body was fine, perfectly intact, including her luck and meridians!
Her body trembled even more violently!
