#422 - Chapter 421 Fu Yuesheng
The young man's pupils constricted slightly as he witnessed this scene, his face betraying fear.
The next second, these steel whips shot out like bullets, accompanied by a series of "thud" sounds, piercing the young man's body and pinning him to the ground.
"Ahhh!"
Pale golden blood splattered, and a shrill scream echoed within the small wooden house.
However, this was just the beginning. Several steel whips were extracted from the young man's body, raised high, and lashed down on him, again and again.
Snap, snap, snap...
Each time the steel whip fell, it left behind a horrifying wound of torn flesh, a shocking sight!
"How many years, how many years, is it still not enough? How long do you want to trap me, how long!!!"
The young man's fingernails dug into his flesh as he writhed on the ground like an earthworm, trying to struggle to his feet. But each time he straightened his back, he was whipped back to the ground, repeatedly, in a miserable state!
Standing outside the door, Li Chenqiu patted his chest, grateful that he had been cautious and hadn't touched the wooden door with his hand.
Otherwise, he estimated that he would have been dragged into the wooden house the moment he reached his hand into the doorway to push the door open.
Ten minutes later, the steel whips slowly retreated into the shadows, leaving only the young man lying in a pool of golden blood, motionless, like a dead dog.
"No, I never lie. That's what you told me before." Li Chenqiu slowly crouched down, looking at the other party with a calm gaze.
The young man's eyes rolled slightly upward, and he smiled faintly: "The former me never lied, but that was before. After being consciously locked in a place for hundreds of years, my mind only has one thought left—to get out."
"Hundreds of years?" A look of surprise appeared on Li Chenqiu's face, and he had a rough guess about the identity of the young man in front of him.
Hundreds of years ago was the ancient civilization period. If nothing else, the other party should be the monster that Lu Xiancong mentioned, otherwise he wouldn't be related to the finishing touch that sealed the monster.
The young man supported himself on the ground with one hand, slowly stood up while holding onto the wooden table, and looked up at Li Chenqiu: "What? Do you think I'm lying to you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the wounds on his body gradually recovered, and so did the white clothes on his body. The golden blood under his feet disappeared like snow meeting the scorching sun.
Although Li Chenqiu, who witnessed everything, had doubts in his heart, he didn't ask any further questions and replied: "It's just a bit incredible. Hundreds of years is too long for me. I'm only twenty years old now."
"Twenty years old... Twenty years old is good!" The young man sighed inexplicably, then sat down on the chair in the room.
Seeing that the other party didn't intend to speak, Li Chenqiu took the lead and asked, "Who are you?"
"Me?" The young man propped his head with one hand, a trace of reminiscence flashing in his eyes: "Fu Yuesheng, that's my name."
"If I'm not mistaken, you should have many companions, and their situation is the same as yours, they are all sealed up. Am I right?" Li Chenqiu tried to verify his guess.
Fu Yuesheng was silent, and after a long time, he said: "What kind of answer do you want to hear?"
Li Chenqiu looked straight at the other party: "I want to hear the correct one."
Fu Yuesheng said casually: "Yes, you are right. They are indeed my companions, or rather, they are my subordinates."
"Subordinates?"
Hearing this word, Li Chenqiu appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, a storm had already been stirred up in his heart.
Lu Xiancong said that the strength of those monsters was generally above the fourteenth level. If Fu Yuesheng wasn't lying, then his strength...
Li Chenqiu couldn't think any further, after all, he hadn't even seen a battle of the twelfth level, let alone above that.
Suppressing the shock in his heart, he continued: "Do you think I will believe you? If you are really their leader, would you easily tell me your identity?"
Fu Yuesheng smiled contemptuously: "I don't care, because no one in this world can pose a threat to me. Trapping me here is already the limit of this civilization."
"This world... This civilization... What do you mean by these words?" Li Chenqiu敏锐地捕捉到几个关键词.
"Although I really want to talk to people, I can't answer your questions."
"Didn't you say you didn't care? Anyway, no one here can pose a threat to you, so what if you tell me? Could it be that you're lying again?"
"In your eyes, am I such a liar? The reason why I can't answer your questions is because of some invisible constraint. Once I say it, I will die too, understand me!"
A helpless expression appeared on Fu Yuesheng's face.
Li Chenqiu stood up, looking down at the other party: "Do you have anything else to say? If not, I'll leave."
"Leave?" Fu Yuesheng looked a little surprised.
Li Chenqiu replied as a matter of course: "Otherwise, what am I doing here, chatting with you?"
"Now that you're here, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
Fu Yuesheng stood up and was about to step forward, but after thinking about the iron whip just now, he timidly retracted his foot.
Li Chenqiu took out his phone and glanced at the time: "It's almost three in the morning now, I need to rest, say what you have to say quickly!"
Hearing this, Fu Yuesheng, who originally wanted to lay the groundwork and take his time, directly said: "Meeting is fate, let's make a deal!"
Li Chenqiu asked curiously: "What deal?"
"The wooden house isolates my perception, but you said you are only twenty years old, presumably your strength is not very strong, right?"
Li Chenqiu did not refute and nodded in agreement.
Fu Yuesheng's face lit up: "In this life, people seek nothing more than power..."
Li Chenqiu impatiently raised his hand to interrupt: "Can you get to the point? I'm in a hurry to go back to sleep."
"I... I can let you get everything you want..."
"Can you stop bragging? You're locked up yourself, how can you let me get everything I want?"
Fu Yuesheng suppressed the urge to curse and said calmly: "I can 'help' you get everything you want. This world is still about strength after all.
As long as your strength is strong enough, you can do whatever you want, no one dares to say you're wrong. Don't you yearn to have such strength?"
Li Chenqiu nodded truthfully: "I yearn for it, but... how do I know if you can help me? You have to tell me how you plan to help me!"
Fu Yuesheng gestured with his hand: "Do you see the snow under your feet?"
Li Chenqiu glanced down: "I see it."
"That snow is equivalent to your current ability, loose, weak, and powerless, and my ability is to turn that ball of snow into a piece of ice, an indestructible piece of ice, and this is just one of my abilities."
