Lin Xiaotian's smile widened. "Now you understand why I was so happy after seeing your supplements?"
"The venomous insects you cultivated, although they absorbed all the toxins from your body, they had no chance of survival."
"And the insects that fell to the ground just now, their toxins have completely disappeared, all eaten by this little fellow."
"And those insects, even knowing they would die, would still rush forward, because they have a belief in their hearts: as long as they can supply the toxins to the Gu King, it is their greatest honor."
"This is the food chain."
Mr. Song trembled violently upon hearing this, his eyes filled with disbelief. "How is this possible?"
"A Gu King that only assists in treatment? How can it be so powerful?"
Lin Xiaotian chuckled and flicked the Gu insect on his shoulder.
The little insect, with a simple buzz, flew up.
Then, under Mr. Song's jaw-dropping gaze, it instantly vanished from its spot at an incredible speed, leaving a faint afterimage in the air.
The insects on the ground, like moths to a flame,
continuously charged towards the Gu King.
When the venomous insects reached it, they were like lambs to the slaughter, completely defenseless, expelling all the toxins from their venom sacs.
The Gu King, suspended in mid-air, inhaled them all, its body visibly growing at a slow but steady pace.
Seeing this, Mr. Song was completely stunned, his eyes filled with shock.
"I lost, and I lost completely."
"Lin Xiaotian, no matter what means you used to deal with me, I am now utterly convinced."
"Finish me off quickly."
"Knowing I am no match for you, my most skilled area has been utterly defeated by you."
Lin Xiaotian smiled and asked, "I want to know who sent you here?"
"You placed insect eggs in that small jade monkey carving and then plotted against my wife. Are your brains rusted?"
"Haven't I shown my strength clearly enough? Those who came before me were all made examples of. Yet you guys rush forward like moths to a flame."
"Don't you know this makes me very unhappy?"
"Since I am known as the King of Hell, I don't mind fulfilling my duty today."
"Speak, how do you wish to die?"
Hearing this, Mr. Song's expression gradually dimmed. He knew Lin Xiaotian would not let him go easily. His past deeds were enough to warrant a thousand cuts, but he had no hope of survival now.
A hint of hesitation appeared in his eyes. "Give me a quick death!"
Lin Xiaotian chuckled. "Do you think you're good-looking?"
"No!" Mr. Song had a very bad feeling.
Lin Xiaotian snorted. "Since you know yourself and admit you're not good-looking, why are you talking nonsense to me?"
"You want a quick death, but you haven't even revealed who is behind you, and you're trying to negotiate terms with me? Do you think you have the right to negotiate with me?"
"Moreover, even if I want to kill you, it's my decision. While I've given you a choice, you must also offer me a price for that choice."
"I can make you wish you were dead, or I can give you a quick death."
"Do you think the pain caused by those Gu insects is the worst form of suffering? The feeling of wishing you were dead?"
"But I can tell you clearly, that feeling is not even one percent of the true suffering."
"Do you want to experience it?"
Mr. Song shook his head without hesitation. He knew that if Lin Xiaotian's strength had reached this level, he wouldn't lie.
He didn't know what that feeling was, but he knew that the methods he employed were already extremely wicked.
Compared to Lin Xiaotian, he was like a small frog in a well.
After a moment of hesitation, he said, "The person behind me is our entire Song family."
"Or rather, we are a family of Gu masters."
"Our family has always specialized in raising Gu."
"We once controlled countless people, but now we have completely declined. Because we often needed to cooperate with the Corpse Gu Sect, and after they were wiped out, only we remained."
"A clever cook cannot make a meal without ingredients. So we had to find materials ourselves. This time, I targeted you more for the medicinal pills you possess. For Gu insects to become more potent, they don't need to consume more poison."
"They need elixirs to stimulate the production of toxins."
Lin Xiaotian said with a half-smile, "If this is all the information you can provide, it's not enough to save your life."
"Can you offer any other useful information?"
Mr. Song's expression turned a bit bitter. "I have no other information to give you."
"Only the location of our family. Even if I tell you, it's useless. There are not many people left in our family, and I've been away for a long time. I don't even know their whereabouts."
"I know I'm going to die today. Now, my only wish is for a quick death. After all, dying at the hands of a master like you is my honor."
Lin Xiaotian sighed. "Forget it. I'm too lazy to waste more words with you. I know you've already broken your own heart meridian."
"After all, someone like you would surely have a Gu insect connected to your lifeblood."
"There's already the corpse of a Gu insect in your hand."
Mr. Song's pupils contracted. He hadn't expected Lin Xiaotian to be so observant. But now that things had come to this, he was certainly doomed. He just didn't want to suffer any torture at Lin Xiaotian's hands, so he ended it quickly. But before he died, he revealed everything he knew.
"Lin Xiaotian, you are powerful. You are the most powerful person I have ever met in my life."
"And everything you have shown me has overturned my understanding."
"I've told you everything I can. But the few members of the Song family will absolutely not let this opportunity pass easily. The reason I came here was also because of the information they conveyed to me. They also wanted to gain benefits."
"It's all driven by greed. People die for wealth, birds die for food!"
