"Hey!"
Upon hearing Shen Cangsheng's wanton and arrogant words, Xiang Mantang's eyes narrowed sharply, and his right hand, holding the dagger, couldn't help but tremble slightly as veins bulged violently.
His lips quivered, and he desperately wanted to roar and then kill Shen Cangsheng with one strike!
But in the end, Xiang Mantang did not do that.
He restrained himself.
Because if he had burst into a rage because of Shen Cangsheng's words, Shen Cangsheng would have been absolutely delighted, not feeling the slightest fear of death.
He would not let Shen Cangsheng feel a trace of pleasure before dying.
However...
Xiang Mantang then stabbed Shen Cangsheng's dantian with a knife, identified his mute acupoint, and pressed it, silencing him completely!
"Wuu wuu wuu..."
Shen Cangsheng had been preparing to mock Xiang Mantang, but suddenly, he could no longer speak.
And because he no longer had eyeballs, he couldn't mock or sneer at Xiang Mantang with his gaze, seeing him enraged and embarrassed.
"What a lot of nonsense!"
Xiang Mantang suppressed his rage, and his trembling right hand steadied and strengthened once more.
"Whoosh, whoosh!"
With two more strikes, he cut off both of Shen Cangsheng's ears.
"Heh heh heh..."
Shen Cangsheng felt the pain and wanted to curse Xiang Mantang to vent the pain of being dismembered, but because his mute acupoint had been pressed, he could not utter a sound.
Thus, the satisfaction in his heart gradually faded, leaving only unwillingness, anger, despair, fear...and other emotions!
Xiang Mantang dismembered Shen Cangsheng cut by cut, and soon, Shen Cangsheng had become unrecognizable.
"Tat tat tat..."
At that time, Mei Yinxue, under the protection of Jian Ruyan and Zhu Yeqing, killed all the Tianhe Sword Sect disciples who had acted as accomplices to Shen Cangsheng that day and walked over.
"Let me do it!"
Mei Yinxue, holding her still blood-dripping Blood-Drinking Sword, stared at the paralyzed Shen Cangsheng on the ground, her beautiful eyes filled with resentment and anger.
Had it not been for this man, she would have married Mu Jinyu by now, and they should be honeymooning in various countries instead of training hard every day, suppressing the pain and despair in her heart!
"Alright."
After cutting over a hundred pieces of flesh from Shen Cangsheng, Xiang Mantang had vented much of his anger. Hearing Mei Yinxue's words, he suddenly remembered that he originally planned to let Mei Yinxue slowly deal with Shen Cangsheng.
However, upon seeing Shen Cangsheng, he had not been able to restrain himself and had started on him first, almost killing him with one cheap strike!
"Sister-in-law, go ahead."
Xiang Mantang calmed himself down, holding the blood-stained dagger, and stood up to step aside, allowing Mei Yinxue better access to deal with Shen Cangsheng.
Mei Yinxue nodded at Xiang Mantang, then with a look of poisonous hatred, she gripped the Blood-Drinking Sword and began to dismember Shen Cangsheng.
One sword stroke after another, piece by piece, Shen Cangsheng soon turned into a bloody mess.
A large pool of blood flowed out from where he lay.
The sight of a dismembered Shen Cangsheng was so gruesome that it made one's hair stand on end and sweat run cold!
Xiang Mantang, fearing that Shen Cangsheng would soon die from excessive blood loss, specially used the hemostatic medicine that Mu Jinyu had once given him, applying it to Shen Cangsheng.
He also added some medicine powder that intensified the senses tenfold.
Immediately, Shen Cangsheng, who had been barely breathing and unable to whimper, began to groan intensely and agitatedly.
"Heh heh heh, wuu wuu wuu..."
Although the onlookers could not make out what Shen Cangsheng was shouting, they knew that he must be in severe pain.
And his groaning, the onlookers guessed, was probably: "Kill me! If you dare, give me a quick death!"
And various other unsavory expressions.
San Liu felt a chill.
He suddenly felt fortunate that when he had sought out Mu Jinyu for healing, he was only cursed and kicked out by Xiang Mantang instead of being completely dealt with.
Over these days, although no one explicitly mentioned it, San Liu understood that something had happened to Mu Jinyu, and on that day, having not repaid him and planning to seek further treatment from Mu Jinyu, it was fitting that he ended up being cursed by Xiang Mantang.
In his situation, being able to preserve his life was truly a blessing.
After realizing the situation, San Liu immediately gathered money and paid the several hundred million he owed Mu Jinyu to Su Zijin and the others, fearing that one day Xiang Mantang might use this excuse to deal with him if he were in a bad mood!
"Hiss, hiss, hiss!!"
Mei Yinxue, expressionless, sliced Shen Cangsheng's flesh with her sword; flesh flew and blood sprayed everywhere, leaving almost only Shen Cangsheng's skeleton.
If this were a normal person, he would have died long ago.
But Shen Cangsheng had Xiang Mantang by his side, adding medicine and treating him, hence he had not died yet, though he was close to it.
He had only a last breath remaining.
"Ha!!"
Mei Yinxue, having killed many before, knew that no matter how much Xiang Mantang medicated him, it would not allow Shen Cangsheng to persist much longer and suddenly roared angrily, thrusting her sword.
A flash of the sword, and Shen Cangsheng's head was severed from his neck.
"Gurgle!"
The head, barely having any good flesh left, rolled around like a tattered ball and then ceased moving.
However, those dark eye sockets, though lacking eyeballs, emitted a towering resentment, meeting right with Xiang Mantang's eyes.
"Hmph!"
Xiang Mantang snorted coldly, walked over, and crushed Shen Cangsheng's head underfoot.
"Crack!"
Instantly, under Xiang Mantang's step, a mess of red and white fluids splattered.
"Come, help gather up his corpse!"
Xiang Mantang, having crushed Shen Cangsheng's head, turned and called out to Zeus standing behind him.
"Mm."
Zeus, watching how they had tortured Shen Cangsheng for nearly half an hour before he died, was also scared. Hearing Xiang Mantang's words, he promptly stepped forward.
At the same time, he fiercely gathered his True Yuan, and suddenly, a crackling sound erupted, followed by dazzling electric arcs that fiercely surged toward Shen Cangsheng's corpse.
"Zap, zap!!"
Shen Cangsheng's bloody, muddled corpse was quickly electrocuted into charred remains, with even an intense burnt flesh odor wafting through the air!
Lu Yuan and the Sect Leader, silently watching, had their brows furrowing in distress.
This was not just a matter of Ling Chi execution; this was further desecration of the corpse!
If Shen Cangsheng had done wrong, they needed to give the Dragon King Hall an explanation, to hand over Shen Cangsheng and resolve the grievance, but to execute and desecrate the corpse right in front of their sect's gate was simply a direct slap to the Tianhe Sword Sect's face!
However, with Xiang Mantang and his group still angry, rashly speaking out to stop them would likely escalate things to a deadly feud, rendering the act of handing over Shen Cangsheng meaningless.
Soon, Shen Cangsheng's corpse was burned down to ash by Xiang Mantang.
Afterward, Xiang Mantang ordered his men to release a captured wild wolf and threw Shen Cangsheng's remains mixed with his blood into the ash, feeding it to the starving wolf.
"Howl, howl!"
The wolf, eyes glowing green, devoured rapidly, quickly swallowing all of Shen Cangsheng's flesh and ash.
San Liu and others watched with twitching eyebrows.
Xiang Mantang wasn't just crushing Shen Cangsheng's bones to dust; he wasn't even leaving his ashes behind!
They believed that if Xiang Mantang had the ability to extract Shen Cangsheng's soul, he would definitely continue to torment Shen Cangsheng's soul, ensuring he would never find peace!!
Lu Yuan's face twitched for a moment before he finally spoke, "Is the Dragon King satisfied now?"
"Satisfied," Xiang Mantang was dabbing his hands with a clean towel, answered Lu Yuan indifferently.
Lu Yuan calmly said, "Then, the grievance between you and the renegade from my sect is settled. Now, we need to discuss the matter of you destroying our Mountain Protection Array!"
