Chapter 1232 640: Only Crippling His Limbs
That was the gap in the Cultivation Technique, the only flaw.
"Push her into the Pill Furnace!"
Nie Shan shouted harshly.
The guards began to untie the girl from the stone pillar, dragging her violently toward the Pill Furnace.
The older guard's hands trembled severely, unable to untie the rope after a long struggle.
"Useless!"
Nie Shan kicked the guard aside and did it himself.
"You can't even handle this little task, what use are you?"
The guard sat on the ground, watching the girl being dragged toward the Pill Furnace, a bit unwilling.
"Young master... they are still just children..."
"Shut up!"
Nie Shan slapped him across the face.
"To sacrifice themselves for father's grand plan is their honor!"
Gu Sheng watched coldly, murderous intent surging in his heart.
The oldest of these girls was only fifteen or sixteen, the youngest barely eight or nine; yet they were about to be refined into living blood.
His fists clenched tightly, nails digging deeply into his palm.
Just then, a commotion suddenly came from the direction of the City Lord Mansion's gate.
"City Lord, have mercy!"
"Spare my daughter, please!"
"She's only twelve..."
Hundreds of citizens broke through the guards' obstruction, kneeling at the edge of the plaza, kowtowing continuously.
Most of them were elderly and women, their foreheads bleeding profusely, yet they did not stop.
Qingsheng City Lord frowned, a bit impatient.
"Noisy."
Nie Shan immediately understood, turned around, and shouted.
"Drive these lowly peasants out! Anyone who dares plead will be met with the whip!"
The guards swung their long whips toward the citizens, the whip shadows slicing through the air, striking flesh with a sharp "snap" sound.
The citizens screamed incessantly but refused to retreat.
"My daughter!"
A woman clutched a guard's leg tightly.
"Please, spare her, I'm willing to die in her place!"
"Get off!"
The guard kicked the woman in the chest, the sound of breaking bones clearly audible.
The woman spat out a mouthful of blood but still did not let go.
"Lan'er... run..."
"Mother!"
The girl called Lan'er saw her mother's tragic state and let out a heart-wrenching cry.
Gu Sheng felt as if a boulder was weighing down his chest, making it difficult to breathe.
These citizens knew they were doomed yet came to plead, this familial love reminded him of his own sister.
Had it not been for searching for his sister's whereabouts, he wouldn't have left the Holy Land and come near Ten Thousand Ghost Ridge.
"Kill."
Qingsheng City Lord suddenly ordered.
"Leave none alive."
This order was like a death sentence from the Grim Reaper, the guards' actions instantly became ten times more ruthless.
The long whips no longer merely struck, but directly wrapped around the citizens' necks, squeezing tightly—
"Crack!"
The sound of neck bones breaking came one after another, citizens falling like cut wheat.
Someone tried to escape but was stabbed from behind through the heart by a guard.
Blood stained the plaza's edge, the heavy scent of blood even overshadowing the Pill Furnace's fumes.
"No! Father!"
"Mother!"
"Grandpa!"
The bound girls witnessed their family die tragically, desperately struggling.
The ropes cut into their skin, blood flowing down the stone pillars, yet no one paid attention.
Nie Shan watched the carnage, feeling no pity but rather bursting into laughter.
"A bunch of ants dare hinder father's grand plan! A Cultivator killing mortals is just like stepping on ants, where is the divine retribution?"
This sentence became the last straw that broke Gu Sheng.
"Click."
The iron chains binding Gu Sheng suddenly broke, falling to the ground with a light sound.
This sound should have been drowned out by the screams but was weirdly clear.
"Huh?"
A nearby guard turned to look, finding that Gu Sheng had freed himself, but he merely sneered.
"Another reckless fool."
Two Gathering Core Realm guards with long knives approached, blades still dripping with the citizens' blood.
"Kneel."
The guard on the left commanded.
"Or we'll make you wish you were dead."
Gu Sheng ignored them, instead turning to untie the other Cultivators' chains.
"Seeking death!"
The two guards shouted angrily, fully unleashing the Gathering Core Realm aura.
They formed a pincers formation, the wind of their fists roaring toward Gu Sheng's back and legs.
This was their usual tactic, to first disable the prisoner's ability to move, then slowly torture them.
The other guards saw this and didn't even bother to look.
This was just another reckless Cultivator seeking another beating.
Eventually, they would be used by the City Lord to practice like everyone else.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two muffled booms sounded almost simultaneously, like fists hitting iron stone.
"Ah!"
It was the guards' screams. The two who had struck staggered backward holding their fists, finger bones already twisted and deformed.
Without even turning his head, Gu Sheng continued to untie the other Cultivators' chains.
"How is this possible?"
One guard's eyes widened.
"Old Zhang's and Old Li's 'Bone Shattering Fist' can even cripple Golden Core Cultivators, this kid..."
The freed Cultivator raised his head weakly, speaking to Gu Sheng.
"Fellow Daoist, go quickly! Leave me! They..."
Gu Sheng shook his head, continuing to untie another person's bonds.
"Don't talk, save your strength."
The two injured guards saw the fear in each other's eyes.
Due to their duties, they gritted their teeth and charged once more.
"Die!"
This time, they used Weapons.
A Poisoned Short Knife and a Wolf Fang Club attacked Gu Sheng's back and knees, angles sharp and ruthless.
Gu Sheng finally turned around, cold light flashing in his eyes.
"Scram."
With a simple word, it was like thunder exploding.
The guards' attacks abruptly stopped, their bodies seemingly grabbed by invisible hands, uncontrollably lifted into the air.
"No... don't!"
They struggled in terror, but it was futile.
With a casual wave of his hand, Gu Sheng sent the two guards flying toward the center of the plaza into the gigantic Pill Furnace.
