"No, no!!"
Yan Qinyu's eyes nearly split with rage. His heart seething with unwillingness, he suddenly drove power through his dantian.
Hum!!
True Qi at the Fifth Layer of the Innate Realm surged up from the depths of his energy sea, raced through his meridians, and shot straight toward his neck!
His hands, hooked inside the chain, endured the burning as he pulled outward with all his might.
The veins beneath his skin bulged, one after another...
He had to break free of this chain!
He had to speak!
He had to let the growing crowd at the hall entrance know the truth!
Once I can move again, the first thing I'll do is find a way to seize Qin Lan.
That Monster Person cares deeply for his "beloved disciple" with the Celestial Spirit Root!
As long as I have her, I can take the initiative again.
Push me too far, and I'll kill that little girl. Let that Monster Person taste what it's like to have a cooked duck fly away!!
Just then, Diwu Chijin sensed the surge of True Qi behind him.
He turned his head and glanced at Yan Qinyu from the corner of his eye, his mouth curling in contempt. "Heh. A mantis trying to stop a cart... Die!!"
As he spoke, the five fingers of his right hand clenched sharply.
Clack, clack! Hiss, hiss, hiss!
The chain blazing with orange-red fire abruptly tightened.
Its links meshed like a winch, strangling Yan Qinyu's neck and yanking it upward—crack, crack...
The Great Yan Kingdom's ruler's neck vertebrae crackled. Flames burned through his flesh, exposing the bloodstained white bones beneath!
"Cough, cough!"
Yan Qinyu's mouth gaped, his tongue lolling from one corner. His eyes bulged like a frog's, blood vessels bursting across the whites in a ghastly sight!
