Despite being severely injured and bound by heavy chains, the man’s eyes remained incredibly calm.
It was a calmness devoid of any emotional fluctuations, almost perfectly pure.
Under the gaze of those eyes, Lord Lihen, who had originally been smug, involuntarily trembled and took a half step back.
"You are afraid!" the man suddenly spoke.
His voice was indifferent, yet carried a hint of mockery.
Lord Lihen’s expression darkened, and he snorted coldly, "Afraid? What a joke! I am the mighty Heavenly Lord, why would I be afraid? It’s you who should be!"
Lord Lihen scrutinized Yangjian up and down, "Yangjian, to remain sane through such prolonged solitude without going mad, that’s truly admirable indeed!"
Yet Yangjian paid no attention to the mockery in his words, continuing to look on quietly, until a moment later, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I can feel it, you really are afraid!"
Upon hearing this, Lord Lihen’s expression changed, anger flashing in his eyes, then he waved his hand.
Suddenly, golden symbols appeared on the towering spires, and the massive chains began to creak and turn.
In an instant, the chains tightened and stretched Yangjian’s limbs out, continuing to rotate bit by bit.
A grating sound of bones being pulled apart echoed, the sound of Yangjian’s limbs being torn apart by immense force.
And under such force, even his skin was being ripped apart, blood pouring out copiously.
Yet facing such immense torture that would drive a normal person insane, Yangjian did not even furrow his brow, still looking coldly at Lord Lihen.
This extreme calmness made Lord Lihen’s eyelids twitch, and he couldn’t help but hiss viciously: "Yangjian, I know you are not afraid of death, but do you really think I would let you die just like that? Your immortal body has let you survive tens of thousands of years, and what awaits you is an even longer period of agony. Enjoy it slowly, heh heh..."
Lord Lihen let out a sinister laugh.
But he had barely laughed twice when Yangjian also laughed, his smile devoid of any fear or panic.
What it did contain, however, was mockery.
"I get it, you must have sensed something, and it might very well be related to the Hua Clan, which is why you are so panicked, even coming specially to see if I have escaped. Am I right, Lord Lihen?"
Yangjian’s words turned Lord Lihen’s face from pale to ashen, his gaze turning colder eventually, "Whether it’s correct or not, the decline of the Hua Clan is destined; it’s inevitable, and nobody can change that. But you..."
Lord Lihen sneered at Yangjian a few times, "Aren’t you afraid of enduring even more excruciating torture by speaking like this?"
By this time, the chains had already stretched Yangjian’s limbs to their limits, blood raining down, making his complexion even more pale.
Yet even so, upon hearing Lord Lihen’s words, he couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
"Lord Lihen, I, Yangjian, as a deity of the Hua Clan, have never feared anything. And in these ten thousand years, have you ever seen me bow down, despite all the torture you’ve inflicted upon me?"
Lord Lihen’s face turned white, clearly Yangjian’s words had stirred up some unpleasant memories.
Yangjian spoke coldly, "Lord Lihen, the reason I’ve endured until now is to see what end will meet someone like you! And you got one thing wrong in your last statement!"
"The fate of the Hua Clan is not destined by anyone!"
"You...!" Furious, Lord Lihen violently waved his hand, and the symbols on the black towers blazed up more brilliantly.
The chains then suddenly transformed into giant black pythons, thoroughly entwining Yangjian’s body.
Giant Python moved about, emitting a grating sound of scales rubbing together, then the black pythons began to gradually constrict their bodies.
