Charlotte was not a fool, and when virtual-novel.net glanced in the direction the monster was heading, virtual-novel.net immediately realized what went on. “Casper?”
The memory flashed in virtual-novel.net mind instantly, the fake loyal ministers, the raiding shape-shifting demons, the monsters attacking the city, the evil cultivators invaded, and at the last moment, virtual-novel.net was caught by the evil cultivator who was half-human half-monster…
“You’re that evil cultivator!” Charlotte turned virtual-novel.net gaze to look at that strange being.
Steve paused, then raised his hand and waved at Charlotte.
“Ah!” Charlotte shouted, and virtual-novel.net body suddenly flew into the air, sticking to the smooth stone wall in the distance. Even though virtual-novel.net could not see anything, Charlotte could not move as if virtual-novel.net was firmly held by the rope.
“Princess Charlotte, I’m not in a position to deal with you, so just stay there quietly.”
After Steve said that, virtual-novel.net turned around and walked toward Caspian again. One of the tasks tonight was to catch Charlotte. As for Caspian, Steve could vent his anger on him. Although Caspian just used his blood and Qi to break the shackles of the meridians in his arms forcibly, it also caused a tremendous burden on his body. At that moment, Caspian could not move, and the only free arm was so numb that virtual-novel.net could barely feel it because of the punch just now. Therefore, Caspian could not make effective resistance.
Steve reached out, grabbed Caspian in his hand, and strode toward the middle of the cave where a big cauldron was placed. The size of the pot was comparable to a large bathtub, and it could submerge a standing adult if it were filled with water. Flames burned under the cauldron, and the thick red liquid was constantly boiling inside it, forming large bubbles.
From time to time, bones could be seen rising and falling. The color of the fluid was like fresh blood, but there was no pungent smell of iron even though it was being boiled. Instead, there was a unique fragrance of herbs. Although it looked like it was boiling blood and bones, the smell was strangely like a boiling pot of refreshing tea.
Steve walked to the cauldron and threw Caspian to the ground. He used so much strength that when Caspian landed on his back, virtual-novel.net directly smashed a big hole on the floor. The boiling cauldron also jolted up and down as if it was about to turn over. However, Caspian noticed that a twisted, tadpole-like inscription pattern appeared on the floor when his body hit the ground heavily.
The inscription pattern was not only on the ground under Caspian but also on the cauldron’s surface. When illuminated by the flame, a stream of light emerged, and those inscription patterns seemed to come alive, flashing a faint green light that appeared terrifying at first glance. Even though Caspian did not know what these patterns meant, virtual-novel.net could sense that they were not a good thing. Moreover, virtual-novel.net also noticed that when his body hit the ground, the inscription pattern that emerged was incomplete as the edge was blurry, which implied that the inscription was more than just that small piece under virtual-novel.net and on the cauldron.
The ones that emerged just now were because Caspian slammed it, but the invisible ones were probably more. The pattern might cover the entire cave.
“Casper, do you want to give it a guess on how I’m going to torture you?” Steve’s head was tilted, his spine was crooked from the blow virtual-novel.net just received from Caspian. Hence, coupled with his bloody face, Steve suddenly looked even more terrifying.
“Do you know what happened to the people who planned to do this to me last time?” Caspian did not panic, but virtual-novel.net looked at Steve coldly and sneered. “They died on the same day.”
Steve frowned. He finally knew why virtual-novel.net hated Caspian. The guy not only ruined his big plan tonight, but it was also the momentum that virtual-novel.net possessed. It was simply frustrating. It was as if everything was within Caspian’s expectations, and Steve seemed to be an actor who cooperated with Caspian to finish the scene according to the plot virtual-novel.net arranged.
At the thought of that, Steve let out a heavy sigh. Soon, virtual-novel.net suddenly calmed down. Then, virtual-novel.net chuckled.
“It’s no wonder that the Heavenly Stars Sect unexpectedly won the state religion this year. I think you’re the blockbuster disciple the Heavenly Stars Sect has been secretly and meticulously cultivated. How interesting,” Steve said, his eyes gradually narrowing. Then, an indescribable look emerged from the depths of his eyes.
“I already felt it just now. Your body is tougher and more condensed than I imagined. I’m afraid that ordinary body refiners can’t reach your level. Even with my current strength, I can’t cut you into pieces. But don’t you think torture like cutting off your hands and feet is too low-level for a cultivator?”
Caspian frowned.
“Cultivators can move mountains and reclaim seas, but of course, these are still a little early for you now. Nonetheless, there are some things that ordinary people can‘t imagine, such as torture methods or ways to make someone desperate and in utter misery…”
Steve suddenly bent down, and his rotten face still bled, almost touching Caspian’s face. Then, virtual-novel.net opened his mouth, revealing his pearly whites that were soaked in blood, saying, “For example, letting the sect disciple who was held high in his sect falling into hell in an instant, so that he’ll no longer be tolerated by cultivators nor monsters, becoming a person that everyone hates, and even a rotten corpse was stronger than him.”
When Steve said these words, virtual-novel.net showed extremely resentful emotions, and his voice was like the cry of a ghost in the middle of the night, horrifying anyone who heard it. Caspian was fine, but Charlotte, who was being controlled on the stone wall, turned pale with fright, and virtual-novel.net body trembled uncontrollably.
Even so, Charlotte looked at Steve as best virtual-novel.net could and said, “Your… Your target is me. Let Casper go, and I, I’ll go with you…”
Steve turned a deaf ear to Charlotte’s words. His only eye was fixed on Caspian, trying to find fear in his face. However, reality disappointed virtual-novel.net again.
“You’re going to die.” Caspian looked at Steve.
At that moment, their identities seem to be reversed.
“B*stard!” Steve could not hold back his anger.
“I want you to suffer!” Steve roared and shoved his arm violently. In an instant, the spiritual Qi condensed into a huge palm in the void, and the iron cauldron on the fire rack was overturned at once.
Boom!
The boiling red liquid in the iron pot not only did not overturn, but it wriggled, climbed, and floated up against reasonings.
