After the Ugly Monster severed Bai Kuo's arm, there was no further movement. Ye Tian hesitated, contemplating whether to strike and kill it, when suddenly he heard a creaking sound.
Then, Ye Tian saw Bai Kuo's face contorting, his chest heaving not from pain but seemingly from nausea.
Since the Ugly Monster had its back to Ye Tian, he couldn't see what it was doing. However, the creaking sound conjured a vivid image in his mind.
In that image, the Ugly Monster opened its Blood-Red Maw and was gnawing on Bai Kuo's severed arm...
At that moment, not only Bai Kuo but even Ye Tian felt a wave of nausea rising in his stomach. Eating a living person's arm raw—this was something no human could do!
As for Bai Kuo, his situation was even worse. Not only had his arm been cut off, but he also had to watch helplessly as it was devoured. This feeling was something others could never comprehend.
The Ugly Monster seemed very hungry; in an instant, it devoured the arm completely, casually tossing aside the remaining bones which landed some distance away.
Coincidentally, the bloodied and flesh-laden arm fell at Ye Tian's feet, causing him to frown deeply. To consume raw flesh and blood—this abomination could not be allowed to live!
Whether for his former brother Bai Kuo or for others, this kind of inhuman monster absolutely must not be allowed to exist in this world.
However, Ye Tian did not act impulsively. Although he wanted to slay this creature, he felt compelled to observe a little longer. His trust in Bai Kuo was quite limited.
After finishing the arm, the Ugly Monster laughed with satisfaction and glanced at the sweating Bai Kuo. "You've paid your toll now; you can come and go freely in this mountain. If anyone dares to stop you, just mention my name."
Bai Kuo gritted his teeth and remained silent, but the flames of hatred burned fiercely in his eyes. Having his arm severed and then being forced to watch it being eaten while being addressed in such a condescending manner was utterly intolerable!
At that moment, Bai Kuo's heart was filled with overwhelming hatred. If he were still a Four-Stage Martial Artist and hadn't been crippled, he would have skinned this monster alive inch by inch!
"Now I'm leaving. My name is Lu Cangsheng. If anyone troubles you, remember to mention me." The Ugly Monster, calling itself Lu Cangsheng, waved its hand and turned to leave.
Ye Tian quietly watched from the shadows, thinking, "Eating human flesh so brutally, yet still daring to boast about being Lu Cangsheng... slaughtering the innocent!"
"What a bold claim! Soon, you will meet your end and suffer the torment of hell's demons!"
Looking at Bai Kuo, who was already injured and had lost too much blood, his face was extremely pale, and he was on the verge of fainting.
"Sigh..." Ye Tian sighed lightly, taking out a high-quality healing Spiritual Pill from his Xumi Ring. He crushed it into powder with his fingers and used Martial Origin Power to send it through the air, ensuring it landed precisely on Bai Kuo's severed arm wound.
This time, he was very discreet. Even if Bai Kuo had any cultivation left, which he did not, he might not have been able to notice.
As soon as the Spiritual Pill powder arrived, Bai Kuo's expression immediately eased significantly. Although the power of the spiritual medicine could not regenerate his severed arm, it at least stopped the bleeding and alleviated the pain, which was enough to save his life.
"Heavenly Retribution is still possible; self-inflicted misfortune cannot be avoided!" Ye Tian remarked with a sigh. The fate that had befallen Bai Kuo today was indeed a result of his own actions.
After giving Bai Kuo one last glance and feeling nine-tenths sure he wasn't lying, Ye Tian turned and pursued the direction Lu Cangsheng had taken.
From what he sensed earlier, Lu Cangsheng was merely an Eight-Dan Warrior Definition level fighter. Therefore, Ye Tian did not need to conceal his presence; the gap between their strengths was too great for Lu Cangsheng to detect him.
With Yuqi Tayan Jue activated, Ye Tian's figure swiftly darted through the Forest like a bolt of lightning!
However, after chasing for a long time, he still did not catch sight of Lu Cangsheng. Focusing intently on sensing any presence yielded nothing.
Ye Tian frowned slightly but soon relaxed. The opponent's strength was too low; if he were resting somewhere in these rugged mountains, finding him would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Since his priority was not to eliminate this cannibalistic villain but rather to devise a strategy against Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters, Ye Tian temporarily abandoned the pursuit, resolving that when he had time in the future, he would definitely hunt this scoundrel down.
Following Bai Kuo at a slow pace on the way back, Ye Tian no longer had many concerns. He dashed back to Cloud Sea Sect at Rolling Cloud Peak before dawn.
At this moment, the sky was faintly brightening, and since it was about to dawn, Ye Tian decided not to return home and went directly to Duan Liu's place to find him.
After about the time it takes to burn two incense sticks, Ye Tian appeared in front of Duan Liu's house. He had sensed waves of Yuan Martial Force during his journey, which made his heart stir slightly.
"Duan Liu seems like a completely different person, working so hard on his cultivation that I feel ashamed." Ye Tian shook his head. He had always prided himself on his diligence, but he didn't expect Duan Liu to be up early practicing. This situation made Ye Tian think that once the matter with the Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters was resolved, he would have to work even harder.
He knocked on the door, and sure enough, Duan Liu was sitting cross-legged on the bed, his eyes slightly closed as he breathed slowly.
Duan Liu could distinguish Ye Tian's footsteps, so he didn't open his eyes and let him be.
"Hey buddy, didn't see this coming—are you feeling stimulated?" Ye Tian began to tease.
Duan Liu opened one eye and shot Ye Tian a glare without saying anything.
"It's just a failed blind date, right? No need to torture yourself like this. Starting your training so early in the morning—aren't you tired?" Ye Tian continued, grinning mischievously.
"Let me correct you; it's not early in the morning. I didn't sleep at all last night," Duan Liu replied with a hint of pride in his tone.
He indeed hadn't slept last night. Recently, he had shown signs of a breakthrough, especially strong last night, so he had practiced all night long in hopes of breaking through this morning and then showing off to Ye Tian. However, he never expected that before he could succeed in his breakthrough, Ye Tian would come knocking as if he had received news beforehand.
"I'm telling you, if you hadn't disturbed me, I would have broken through!" Duan Liu started to shift the blame. "It's all your fault for delaying things; otherwise, I would have entered the ranks of Seventh-Dan Martial Artists by now!"
"That would be something impressive!" Ye Tian replied gleefully. He was using Duan Liu's own tactics against him and felt utterly satisfied. After a pause, he added, "Come on, tell me—is it that blind date that got to you?"
Duan Liu finally couldn't take it anymore; Ye Tian's incessant chatter made it impossible for him to focus on his training. So he simply gave up on practicing, leaped off the bed, and said, "What blind date? It was just a simple meeting!"
"Haha, you're really fired up," Ye Tian said with a teasing grin.
"What are you doing here so early? Just to mess with me?" Duan Liu asked irritably.
"That's not it, I have something important," Ye Tian replied, regaining a serious expression.
Duan Liu scoffed and said, "What important thing could you possibly have?"
Ye Tian was momentarily speechless; that line was usually one he used on Duan Liu, but today it was turned back on him.
"I really do have something important. Do you want to pull off a big score?" Ye Tian's eyes sparkled, his expression filled with excitement.
Upon hearing about a big score, Duan Liu perked up immediately. They had pulled off two big scores together before: one was an ambush on Qiu Ziming, and the other was spying on Flower Pavilion.
Of those two times, the second was unintentional but stirred up various big shots, which was quite thrilling. The first time, ambushing Qiu Ziming, left some regrets; if Guan Yangyu hadn't been there, Qiu Ziming might have already been reincarnated as a pig by now.
"What are we doing?" Duan Liu asked eagerly, unable to contain his excitement.
"We're going to settle the regret from last time!" Ye Tian said as he pulled over a bench and sat down, picking up the teapot. He had no habit of using a teacup when drinking tea at Duan Liu's place; he preferred to drink directly from the spout.
Just as Ye Tian brought the teapot to his lips, he frowned slightly and then laughed, "Alright then, should we just switch from tea to alcohol from now on?"
Duan Liu chuckled; he was always the first to collapse on the table after drinking. In fact, when it came to drinking contests, he couldn't even outdrink Cold Moon and Yun'er. So he secretly bought some liquor to practice his drinking skills alongside his training.
"Come on, come on! Are we going after Qiu Ziming again?" Duan Liu changed the subject.
"That's right. This time we're not only going to deal with Qiu Ziming but also take care of his brother Qiu Zixuan," Ye Tian said as he lifted the lid of the teapot and took a big gulp.
"When are we making our move?" Duan Liu asked simply; he didn't think about planning or how to act since Ye Tian would handle all of that.
"About six days later, this matter is different from last time. With Chen Qianrui involved, there is certainly some risk," Ye Tian said seriously.
Upon hearing this, Duan Liu was taken aback. "Chen Qianrui? Isn't she the Boss of Flower Pavilion?"
Chen Qianrui rarely appeared in public. Ever since marrying Qiu Tiande, she had almost completely withdrawn from the scene, so Duan Liu was unaware of her connection to the Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters.
"Not just the Boss; she's also the mother of the Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters," Ye Tian smiled and said. "You've seen her strength; how does that sound? Exciting, right? Are you scared?"
Duan Liu instinctively nodded and then shook his head, laughing, "Scared of what? After hanging out with you, my courage has grown tremendously!"
"Hehe, have I taught you badly?" Ye Tian said lightly. Although he was cautious about this scheme, he couldn't help but feel a hint of excitement inside.
"Thinking back to when we first met, I was so scared to even speak in front of Qiu Ziming. After being with you for over a year, I feel like I'm not even the same person anymore," Duan Liu remarked.
"Wrong! You should say you've become a better version of yourself!" Ye Tian corrected him.
Duan Liu nodded vigorously. "You're right! Living like this is invigorating. Looking back, I was such a coward!"
"Let's do something big!" Ye Tian extended his hand.
Smack!
Duan Liu slapped his hand down heavily. "Let's go for it big time!"
