Chapter 440: Intolerable! (1/2)
Chapter 440: Intolerable!
It took a great effort to get the Eight-Winged Centipede Queen to give birth to a single larva. Then, in order to get the larva to trust him and form a mental connection with him, even Ye Yihao needed to use his True Soul and his mind consciousness to nurture it for a period of time.
Thus, every larva was extremely precious to Ye Yihao.
That was why he had once told Yu Feng that the value of a larva was greater than the lives of Yu Feng and the others.
Ye Yihao did not care too much about the deaths of Yu Feng and the others because the Yu Family had many Netherpassage Realm martial practitioners. After coming out of the refinement convention, he could use the larvae to find new hosts in the Yu Family.
But Ye Yihao could not let go of the deaths of the four larvae. He could not help but feel angered.
“You?”
The smile on Ye Yihao’s face slowly faded as his gaze became cold and vicious, and sparking with murderous intent.
Qin Lie said calmly, “Me.”
“I will have the voodoo insect slowly burrow into your head, bit by bit, and consume your brain.” Ye Yihao stared at him and said darkly, “You will not die immediately, but will instead be conscious and able to hear the sound of the voodoo insect devouring your brain and bones. Tsk tsk, I guarantee that this experience will be one which you have never felt before in your life. I guarantee that even when you die, you will not forget it!”
The words caused many people’s hairs to stand up on end.
Not only did the expressions of Chu Li and Luo Chen change, but also those of Zhao Yuan, Zhang Chendong, and the martial practitioners from the three families on good terms with Ye Yihao.
Many people felt terrified of Ye Yihao from the bottom of their hearts. They decided that if they accidentally landed in Ye Yihao’s hands one day, they would be decisive and kill themselves to save themselves from the inhuman torture.
Strangely, Qin Lie showed indifference as his gaze didn’t change.
He was even slightly puzzled.
For some reason, he felt that he had once tormented people in a manner like how Ye Yihao had just described, and it had not just been once.
Deep inside, he actually thought that this inhuman kind of torture was quite normal and nothing major.
It seemed that he had done things even crueller and more insane in the past…
Yet in the eyes of other people, his daze was an expression of being stricken dumb.
Ye Yihao and the martial practitioners of the three major families all had disdainful expressions. They thought Qin Lie was just a little person who had been scared to death by just words.
Even Luo Chen, who was surrounded by the Xiahou Family and the Lin Family, looked coldly at Qin Lie and snorted, “You really embarrass my Heavenly Sword Mountain.”
Qin Lie suddenly woke up.
He gradually cleared out the disorganized thoughts in his mind whilst maintaining his mental clarity and calmness.
He glanced at Luo Chen and frowned, saying, “Your mouth is still so nasty for someone about to be buried in dirt.”
“If I die, do you think that you will be safe?” Luo Chen sneered.
“Hm?” Su Yan was surprised. She giggled as though she found something new and said, “So interesting, it really is interesting. You two are both from Heavenly Sword Mountain but are enemies, this is really interesting.”
“He is not qualified to be a martial practitioner of Heavenly Sword Mountain! He only knows how to take shortcuts and fawn over elders to get a sword token.” Luo Chen said mockingly.
From the start, Luo Chen had assumed that Qin Lie was only able to receive the favor of Li Mu because Qin Lie was good at flattery and getting on the good side of people.
At Sea Moon Island, he hadn’t targeted Qin Lie just because Qin Lie had received the blank tombstone.
Actually, ever since he discovered that Li Mu had picked Qin Lie to attend the Trial and learned a bit of the relationship between Qin Lie and Li Mu, Luo Chen had desired to kill Qin Lie.
Because of Qin Lie’s status as apprentice, and the fact that he had once stayed in Li Mu’s Li’s shop.
During the time when Qin Lie had nowhere to go in Icestone City, it had also been Li Mu that stood up and helped him leave.
In Luo Chen’s view, Li Mu and Qin Lie were not only teacher and student, but also friends.
This causedLuo Chen to feel great jealousy.
What others didn’t know was that Luo Chen had shown great talent during his youth, and had made great accomplishments in the way of the sword.
What others didn’t know was that at his most glorious moment, his grandmother Luo Nan had secretly taken him to find Li Mu in hopes that Li Mu would take Luo Chen as an apprentice.
Luo Nan understood how powerful Li Mu was, and knew his skill on the way of the sword better than anyone. She had taken Luo Chen to ask Li Mu and hoped that Li Mu would take him as an apprentice out of consideration for her and Luo Chen’s own astounding talent.
In the past, Luo Chen’s talent with the sword had astounded all of Heavenly Sword Mountain, making him very proud and arrogant. He had believed that everyone in Heavenly Sword Mountain would compete to take him on as their apprentice.
He had thought that Li Mu would not be an exception.
Perhaps it was this proud attitude which had displeased Li Mu during their meeting, and so Li Mu had refused.
Incontent, his grandmother Luo Nan had bitterly begged in hope that Li Mu would accept. But Li Mu would not allow it, his attitude cold and indifferent.
