Lin Xiaotian had already noticed something was off about him. Just as the other party was about to crush the object in his hand, he suddenly struck out with his palm.
"Crack..."
The sound of bones breaking suddenly rang out.
He took a few steps forward and then stomped directly on the masked man's shoulder.
The force under his foot erupted.
The sound of bones shattering echoed again, accompanied by the masked man's shrill screams.
The intense pain was soul-wrenching.
Lin Xiaotian smiled faintly, bent down, and picked up a pill from the masked man's hand, a barely perceptible arc forming on the corner of his mouth.
"I thought you had some trump card, but it turns out it's just this thing?"
"Did you think a mere Gu worm could stump me?"
"I'll crush this thing right in front of you now and show you how effective it really is."
With that, he crushed the pill, allowing the Gu worm to crawl towards him.
Just as it was about to burrow into his meridians, he flicked his finger, sending it flying onto Wu Yuxuan beside him.
Wu Yuxuan had thought Lin Xiaotian was no longer paying attention to him.
He had already quietly gotten up from the ground, intending to escape.
But he never expected Lin Xiaotian to do something like this.
At this moment, he felt as if something had burrowed into his body. Instinctively, he reached out to grab it, but found nothing. His eyes were filled with terror.
"What did you do to me?"
Lin Xiaotian said with a smile, "You should ask him directly."
"What are the effects of this little Gu worm? I believe he knows better than I do. Why not let him tell you?"
"Since you're alive, you have no value and will only cause me a lot of trouble. It's better to give you some special treatment."
Wu Yuxuan's gaze shifted to the masked man.
"We're allies now. If something happens to me, it won't benefit you either. Instead, it's useful for you if I'm alive. Then I can directly tell our family about this and foil Lin Xiaotian's plan to use your scheme against you."
"Save me, I don't want to die!"
"My being alive is very useful to you."
The masked man sneered, "I'm already dying, why would I let you live? You might as well go to hell next!"
"Take it slow on the road to the underworld, perhaps we'll meet again." httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
He wanted to see what methods Lin Xiaotian had. He didn't believe Lin Xiaotian could cure his Gu worm.
Wu Yuxuan was about to say something else when he felt as if something had burrowed into his brain.
In that instant, it felt like something was eating his brain.
The soul-tearing pain made him cry out in agony.
As soon as the miserable cry escaped, Lin Xiaotian flicked a silver needle.
The sound instantly ceased.
"You're a bit too noisy. This is a hospital, don't disturb the other patients."
"Enjoy the last moments of your life slowly. Sometimes, pain can make you feel alive, which is better than dying without knowing anything."
Wu Yuxuan felt the threat of death looming over him, and the pain continued to spread.
The pain in his head was like his soul being torn apart.
At this moment, he slammed his head heavily against the ground, as if trying to break his own skull open.
He couldn't even commit suicide. He only felt the endless pain in his mind spreading, and his soul trembling.
As his pupils gradually dilated, darkness began to appear before his eyes. The disappearance of the extreme pain felt like a release. At the very end, a strange smile appeared on his contorted face.
As he exhaled his last breath, Lin Xiaotian bowed quickly and knelt down. Then, the spiritual energy in his body erupted.
A tiny, minuscule worm was forced out of his ear by Lin Xiaotian.
The silver needle instantly pierced it, and he placed it in front of the masked man. "This little thing is of no use to me at all."
"Putting it on this guy was to show you the kind of pain he endured."
"Later, I'll put the Gu worm from this hand into your brain, and you'll feel the same pain."
Upon hearing this, the masked man's face twisted. He had only known that this Gu worm could grant him release at a critical moment and that no one could save him.
But he now realized this was an extremely agonizing torment.
Even if he were to be tortured to death by Lin Xiaotian, he didn't want to endure that kind of pain.
"No..."
Before he could utter two words, Lin Xiaotian had already placed the Gu worm from his hand near the masked man's ear.
The Gu worm, having been harmed, seemed to be stimulated and burrowed in with extreme speed, tearing through the eardrum.
The soul-tearing pain made the masked man tremble all over.
His eyes were filled with terror.
If he were given another chance, he would never have taken this thing out, but there was no regret medicine in this world.
The pain continuously stimulated his heart, his pupils dilated rapidly, and his voice was filled with pleading.
"Spare me, I'll tell you anything you want to know!"
At this moment, he finally understood what true soul-tearing pain was.
Lin Xiaotian said with a half-smile, "I already gave you a chance just now, but you didn't cherish it."
"Besides, you yourself said you would rather die than surrender."
"For someone as stubborn as you, I naturally have to fulfill your wish. If I kill you directly now, wouldn't that be less fun?"
A hint of mockery entered his smile.
The masked man writhed on the ground in extreme pain.
His face had long since turned as pale as paper.
Lin Xiaotian said with a smile, "There's no regret medicine in this world. When you make a choice, you should be prepared to bear the consequences."
"I'm too lazy to say any more. I'll just wait for that Gu worm to finish eating your brain before I take you to the Wu family to demand benefits."
"I know you probably have no one behind you anymore."
"And the plans you mentioned were just to stop me from finding you."
"If you truly had a powerful backer, you wouldn't be so sneaky and would have attacked me directly."
Upon hearing this, the masked man's expression turned extremely grim. Lin Xiaotian had almost guessed his inner thoughts.
And he did have people behind him, but they would never bother with a nobody like him.
In front of them, he was like an ant.
