It's Fine, This Doesn't Hurt

"My word is my bond; I will never go back on my word."

Du Niansheng spoke, looking at Liu Duanyuan.

Liu Duanyuan nodded:

"Now that it's settled, I will take action on your behalf."

After speaking, Liu Duanyuan looked at Shen Tianxun:

"Are you willing to cooperate?"

Shen Tianxun nodded:

"A bet's a bet."

"Good."

Liu Duanyuan raised his hand and pressed it towards Shen Tianxun in the air, saying at the same time:

Do not resist.

As the sound faded, several more objects flew out of his hand.

There were ropes, shackles, chains, and humanoid objects of all shapes and sizes, flying towards Shen Tianxun in the wind.

This scene left everyone present stunned.

"This setup seems a bit too grand. Is Senior Liu perhaps afraid that Shen Clan will rebel?"

"That shouldn't be the case. With the Shen Clan's strength and cultivation level, even if he resisted, he shouldn't be able to cause any significant disturbance, right?"

"Perhaps, removing the eyebrow is a little different from what we imagined; otherwise, it could have been easily done with a small knife, without needing to go to such lengths."

As everyone was talking, they clearly saw something, neither too big nor too small, fly into Shen Tianxun's mouth, completely sealing it shut.

"This Liu Clan expert is truly meticulous in his work," Mu Fan chuckled, shaking his head.

Lu Changzhi smiled slightly and said:

"They're even very thoughtful."

The people around probably didn't quite understand.

But thanks to the knowledge provided by the system, he understood it very well.

These eyebrows aren't something you can just take away; taking them would cost you half your life. If you don't use these things, they might rebel, and if you're only distracted, Liu Duanyuan might not be able to control them.

"Senior Liu, what's wrong?"

Shen Tianxun used his spiritual power to ask a question.

At that moment, he had a vague premonition that things weren't going well.

Isn't this a bit too much?

Every part of his body was bound, and the suppressing force touched every part of his body from all directions.

Now, trapped inside this humanoid contraption, I am completely unable to move.

"It's alright, don't worry."

Liu Duanyuan offered a word of comfort:

"It doesn't hurt, just clench your teeth tighter."

After saying that, he raised his hand and waved it.

Brush!

The force swept over instantly, knocking off the covering on Shen Tianxun's face and revealing his brows, which stretched like a mountain range.

"This?"

Everyone was stunned.

How can a person's eyebrows be furrowed like that?

"Those purple, protruding eyebrows... this Shen Clan is indeed quite extraordinary. No wonder the Withering and Flourishing Sect specifically requested eyebrows."

"His brows are furrowed like that, his face looks unrecognizable. He's even trying to cover it up. Does he not even know how to control his own eyebrows anymore?"

While everyone was discussing it.

Liu Duanyuan raised his hand, his arm shimmering with light and containing a powerful aura. He then stepped in front of Shen Tianxun and placed his hand on Shen Tianxun's brow.

"Rise!"

Liu Duanyuan gave a soft shout.

A powerful force erupted instantly, and everyone immediately saw that at the point where the hand and brow touched, the void itself twisted and cracked.

However, the eyebrows were not easily removed as everyone expected. Instead, the eyebrows became more rosy, as if they were struggling and resisting the force.

A look of pain appeared on Shen Tianxun's face.

Liu Duanyuan's thoughts and spiritual power showed no mercy, directly entering his body through his eyebrows.

The pain caused by such an action is no less intense.

At this moment, the bad premonition in his heart had reached an extremely strong level.

"Could it be that the frown is merely a pretext?"

A thought flashed through Shen Tianxun's mind:

"His real purpose is to take this opportunity to ruin himself?"

Right now, he can resist, but with little effect.

Under layers of constraints and suppression, coupled with the fact that Liu Duanyuan's power had been allowed to enter from the beginning, it was too late to do anything now; the best opportunity had already passed.

In the current situation, whether Liu Duanyuan cripples him or kills him, there is very little he can do.

In an instant, Shen Tianxun felt a deep sense of regret!

However, it's too late to back out now.

Swish, swish, swish.

Liu Duanyuan's thoughts guided spiritual energy to circulate within Shen Tianxun's body, as if he were exploring, which was completely unlike what was needed to remove a brow.

The pain and threats involved made Shen Tianxun's expression grow increasingly grim.

And so it went, and some time passed.

Finally, at a certain moment, Liu Duanyuan's expression shifted slightly.

"Understood."

After some trial and error, we've come up with a plan on how to extract the bone without wasting this valuable material.

However, you can't have your cake and eat it too.

If we don't want to waste good materials, then we can only waste Shen Tianxun a little.

"This might hurt a little."

With a reminder, Liu Duanyuan raised his hand and grabbed.

Brush.

A short knife appeared in his hand.

Under the sunlight, it gleamed with a cold light, its body seemingly forged from ice. The moment it was drawn, countless people around clearly felt that even the void seemed to grow cold.

"Is it that hard to handle? They even used a knife?"

"This knife is of a high grade, and its sharpness is probably quite astonishing. If it were to deviate even slightly, Shen Clan would probably be devastated."

"Wow, this situation is getting more and more frightening."

While everyone was surprised, Shen Tianxun panicked.

He wanted to speak, but this time, Liu Duanyuan clearly wouldn't let him say anything more.

In a hurry.

Shen Tianxun suddenly felt a chill on his scalp.

Immediately afterwards, a bone-chilling cold descended upon my scalp.

In an instant, Shen Tianxu felt as if his thinking had slowed down by half a beat.

Since achieving mastery of my cultivation, I haven't felt such coldness for countless years.

"You're pretty tough!"

Liu Duanyuan tried it with one hand, uttered a soft remark, and then switched to holding the knife with both hands.

The infusion of power, combined with the pressure from the weapon and the sharpness of the blade.

Under the combination of the three parties

The short knife, gleaming with a cold light and exuding a chilling aura, forcefully circled around Shen Tianxun's head.

The long sword stopped.

Liu Duanyuan and gently lifted it.

Smack

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Shen Tianxun's skull was lifted up by Liu Duanyuan, its edges streaked with blood-red ice, making a remarkably springy sound.

This scene immediately caused many people to widen their eyes in astonishment.

"This... it opened the lid?!"

"Such exquisite technique, the incision is smooth and the depth is just right, and you used such strong force. If you hadn't controlled it properly, you probably would have shaved a chunk off the brain inside."

"Wow, such fresh brain kernels, and they're still moving! I wonder if eating the brain kernels of such a powerful person could help improve one's cultivation level!"

"..."

At this moment.

Liu Duanyuan changed the direction of the short knife in his hand and began to cut down from both sides of the brow bone.

The position is no longer exactly right, but slightly wider.

Simply put, make a vertical cut starting from the back of the head and moving downwards.
