Chapter 831
Granny Elder Kuanglong's body suddenly stiffened.
She turned her neck with difficulty and looked at Ye Lin, who had appeared behind her at some point, her only remaining eye filled with disbelief.
"I clearly saw you get killed just now with my own eyes. How could you possibly have reacted?"
"I asked you, what did you do to them?" Ye Lin pressed.
"Heh, you want to know? Then go ask them yourself!"
Granny Elder Kuanglong sneered, and Kuai Yan, Liu Ruyan, and Zhen Youqian charged at Ye Lin once again.
The three of them were like crazed beasts, using their body's instincts to continuously launch attacks at Ye Lin.
The bloody holes on Liu Ruyan's body all turned into hideous giant mouths, ready to devour anyone at any moment.
Kuai Yan's fingernails kept extending like ten sharp blades, and every time they swiped, there was even a startling sound of tearing air.
Various highly toxic insects kept flying out from Zhen Youqian's body, sweeping in all directions.
The three of them had already lost their original appearances, becoming hideous and terrifying, continuously launching fatal blows at Ye Lin.
Ye Lin did not want to hurt them, and thus was forced to retreat step by step.
"Bai San, what exactly happened to the three of them?"
Ye Lin turned his gaze to the Heaven-Swallowing Beast Bai San. This guy had been captured together with Kuai Yan and the others, so perhaps he would know what had happened to them.
After Bai San sank into thought for a moment, he took the initiative to communicate with Ye Lin, realizing that this might be his chance to make amends.
"Do you know about the Living Body Chimera Technique?" Bai San asked.
"What is that?" Ye Lin asked in return.
"The Living Body Chimera Technique is an evil art that forcibly fuses humans and demonic beasts into one. When this divine ability was first developed, it was intended to allow the human race to possess the innate abilities of demonic beasts."
"But the result was that this divine ability failed and became a means of torturing people."
"After combining humans with demonic beasts, cultivators skilled in beast-taming can use living people as if they were demonic beasts."
"Kuai Yan and the others were subjected to the Living Body Chimera Technique by Granny Elder Kuanglong. After being fused with demonic beasts, they became humanoid fierce beasts controlled by Granny Elder Kuanglong."
Listening to Bai San's explanation, Ye Lin's gaze grew increasingly cold and sharp.
"Is there any possibility of recovery for cultivators who have been subjected to the Living Body Chimera Technique?"
Bai San dared not answer.
In a sense, his own act of possessing the Heaven-Swallowing Beast could also be considered a form of the Living Body Chimera Technique.
And the Living Body Chimera Technique is almost irreversible; fusion is easy, but separating them is difficult.
It is like mixing a bottle of ink into a bucket of clear water; it is by no means an easy task to separate the ink and the clear water again.
Kuai Yan and the others were basically beyond saving. Even if they lived, they could only be reduced to walking corpses controlled by Granny Elder Kuanglong.
In a sense, they could no longer be considered three people, but three monsters.
Bai San had a premonition that if he were to tell the truth about this, it might trigger extremely terrifying consequences, so he could only choose to lie.
"I am not very clear about this either. I have no way to do it; Granny Elder Kuanglong is the one who cast this technique. Perhaps she has a way to restore them."
Ye Lin's gaze turned cold. While parrying the attacks of Kuai Yan and the others, he urged the Slave Seal to make Xue Bingxiao take action against Granny Elder Kuanglong.
Under the control of the Slave Seal, Xue Bingxiao could only obey. As she raised her jade hand, countless threads of emotion pierced toward Granny Elder Kuanglong.
Facing such a fierce attack, Granny Elder Kuanglong's face showed no fear; instead, she took the initiative to offer her neck.
"Come on, kill me! Kill me, and the three of them will have to die with me!"
Granny Elder Kuanglong clamored unscrupulously at Ye Lin. She had already seen how important Kuai Yan and the others were to Ye Lin.
Ye Lin's ruthless actions toward her just now were merely to intimidate her and avoid being manipulated by her.
She was now incredibly glad that she had used these three people as experimental subjects for the Living Body Chimera Technique.
The lives of Kuai Yan and the others were tied to hers, which also meant that she could not possibly die today!
Sure enough, the threads of emotion Xue Bingxiao pierced out stopped in front of Granny Elder Kuanglong.
"Forbidden Spell: Eternal Freezing Gaze!"
Ye Lin sacrificed a pair of eyes as the price to temporarily freeze the crazed Kuai Yan and the others, then questioned Granny Elder Kuanglong.
"How do I make the three of them return to normal?"
"You want them to return to normal? You're daydreaming!"
Granny Elder Kuanglong's smile was hideous, and black blood kept flowing from one hollow eye socket.
"Old woman, I might as well tell you the truth: the three of them are now equivalent to my slave beast pets. It is impossible for them to ever recover in this lifetime."
"Their lives are already tied to mine. As long as I die, they have to die too!"
"If you have the ability, kill me! Kill me!"
Granny Elder Kuanglong's face was filled with smugness.
No matter how crazy a madman is, as long as they have a soft spot, they have a weakness.
A madman who can be controlled is not scary at all.
"Why aren't you doing it? Weren't you very capable just now? Weren't you going to kill me?"
"Come on, do it!"
Granny Elder Kuanglong even walked toward Ye Lin on her own and reached out to pat Ye Lin's face.
At this moment, the pent-up frustration in her heart was completely released, and she began to continuously provoke Ye Lin.
"These three people seem to have a very good relationship with you. When I was raising Gu worms in that little fatty, no matter how I interrogated him for news about you, he kept saying that he could never betray his Big Brother."
"I wonder, when I used the Living Body Chimera Technique to fuse him with the Gu worms, was he looking forward to you, his Big Brother, coming to save him?"
"When he was being eaten bit by bit by the Gu worms, did he think that it was you, his Big Brother, who caused him to be so miserable?"
"That young girl, when I interrogated her for news about you, she spat at me."
"So I stitched her together with seven human-faced poisonous spiders, giving her a bloody mouth, and then stitched it shut with steel wire so she could never open her mouth again."
"The one who uses the sword, his name is Kuai Yan, right? This guy had such vigorous energy. I let him go time and time again, and time and time again he swung his sword at me. He had too much perseverance."
"Old woman, I hated that self-righteous persistence of his, so I cut off both his hands and modified them into beast claws so he could never hold a sword again."
"Ye Lin, tell me, before the three of them were transformed into monsters by me using the Living Body Chimera Technique, did they regret knowing you?"
"At that time, how much they looked forward to you being able to descend like a divine soldier, appearing before them to save them from fire and water. You were their last hope, but you did not appear."
"What greeted them was only more intense pain and a desperate future. They turned into three half-human, half-ghost monsters, and all of this was caused by you, Ye Lin!"
