"How could this happen?" Du Yu looked up and asked You Si, "Did you really cut through it?"
You Si nodded. "I did indeed cut through the place where your arm joins the stone stool, but you regenerate so quickly that you simply cannot pull free in time."
"Then... then cut my back," Du Yu said. "Keep cutting me with your Wind Blades. I'll keep trying. Sooner or later, I'll get off this damned stool!"
You Si stopped trying to dissuade Du Yu and could only summon a gale inside the stone chamber.
The gale transformed into blade after blade, cutting continuously behind Du Yu.
At last, Du Yu could no longer endure the tremendous pain wracking his entire body and cried out.
He strained forward while gritting his teeth hard.
But three centimeters was the limit.
He could move no more than three centimeters before that tremendous pull dragged him back onto the stone stool.
Blood had stained every corner of the cave, yet Du Yu still could not pull free of the stool.
After dozens of minutes, You Si stopped.
Her face was covered in blood, and blood flowed across the floor like a stream.
Even slaughtering an entire village would not have spilled this much blood.
Now she knew that even if her Wind Blade slit "Time's" throat, Time would not die.
Du Yu, meanwhile, stared blankly, the tremendous pain seeming to leave him in a daze.
"Why... did you stop?" Du Yu muttered. "Keep going... I'll get away eventually..."
"You cannot leave," You Si said with a frown. "My Wind Blades cannot keep up with your regeneration. To take you away, I would have to suppress it completely."
At those words, Du Yu's heart turned cold.
It seemed "Time" truly was immortal. Nothing could change any
