Song Jian groaned in pain, his face pale, sweat pouring from his forehead.
This change happened very quickly.
Ling Huxiao’s expression shifted, hurriedly reminded: "Junior Brother Mu!"
Ouyang Mu was somewhat dazed, reminded by Ling Huxiao, his expression changed, and he intended to withdraw, but in a blink, he saw a tall, blood-reeking monster cultivator closing in.
His wrist hurt sharply, as if being clamped by a monster beast’s claw.
Then a red light flashed.
Ouyang Mu’s little finger was also cut off.
Ouyang Mu winced from the pain but held on, biting his lip without uttering a word.
Ling Huxiao was furious, coldly reprimanding: "Scoundrel!"
The monster cultivator’s body was dark, like a small mountain, holding two cut fingers, with blood dripping down.
He glanced at Ling Huxiao, his tone was peaceful, even somewhat polite.
"Forgive me, my lord." The monster cultivator said lightly.
Ling Huxiao’s Sword Heart quivered, suddenly alert.
But he was shackled by chains, without a sword in hand, unable to resist.
The monster cultivator had profound cultivation, strong power, and swift speed, in a blink he approached Ling Huxiao.
The stench surged.
In an instant, Ling Huxiao’s small hand was also sliced by a small segment.
The severe pain struck, Ling Huxiao’s face turned pale, he clenched his lips, made no sound, only his gaze was cold and sharp like a sword aimed at the monster cultivator.
The monster cultivator’s demeanor was also cold, silent, but he subtly avoided Ling Huxiao’s gaze, seeming fearful, not daring to provoke Ling Huxiao too much.
Thus, all three of Ling Huxiao’s party had their little fingers cut off.
The monster cultivator took out three wooden boxes, placing the cut fingers inside each, speaking calmly:
"Since you won’t write letters, I can only resort to this last measure and take some tokens."
After saying this, he pulled out three glowing pills and casually tossed them to Ling Huxiao’s party, "After taking the pill, your fingers will grow back..."
"I am just following orders, if you cooperate, it saves me trouble; if not, you’ll naturally suffer, you can’t blame me for this..."
These words, rather than being spoken to the three, seemed more directed at Ling Huxiao alone.
