Chapter 659: You Are Truly Despicable
"Uncle, I'm scared!"
Locked inside the Vajra Iron Cage, a pair of large eyes filled with boundless fear revealed themselves, looking toward Shen Yu as if begging.
From the mouth of that blood-colored figure just a moment ago, it could be gathered that the little boy before him was likely some sort of blood-food with a special constitution that he had been cultivating.
He was only waiting for this little boy to grow to a certain degree before devouring him, so that he could replenish his origin at the fastest possible speed.
Right now, this child was locked up by iron chains and trapped within the Vajra Iron Cage; his body appeared covered in wounds, and his appearance was so pitiful it made one's heart soften.
This cry of "Uncle" made one's heart tremble even more.
"Don't be afraid, Uncle will save you right now!"
Walking forward slowly, Shen Yu opened the Vajra Iron Cage, snapped the iron chains binding the other's body, and rescued the little boy in one go.
"Thank you, Uncle!"
"You're welcome!" As soon as Shen Yu finished speaking, countless Runes appeared, trapping the little boy before him within them.
At the same time, a terrifying Sword Qi struck directly toward the opposite side; thousands of mountains and rivers seemed to lose their luster under this Sword Qi. It poured down like a galaxy from the nine heavens, and in an instant, it was about to submerge the person opposite.
However, the moment this Sword Qi touched the little boy, it vanished completely, as if there were an invisible barrier in front of him that could block all attacks.
"How did you discover it?" Raising his head, the little boy's expression was extremely ugly; he had originally thought his acting was impeccable and sufficient to deceive this young man.
Moreover, he had self-woven a set of memories in his mind, and on the surface, he appeared to have weak Mental Power just like an ordinary child, allowing for casual probing.
Even if someone could use mental secret arts to probe his memories, what they would obtain would only be false memories; his disguise was perfect in every way without a single flaw.
This trick of his had always been infallible, and he didn't know how many people had been played in the palm of his hand like this.
He had thought this person before him was no exception, and as long as he could deceive this person, he could choose to do nothing, acting all the way through to safely preserve himself.
Or he could choose to take a gamble and seize the opportunity to ambush this young man, then devour him while he was heavily injured. However, this gamble was a bit dangerous and required caution.
Yet he never imagined that before he could even make a choice, the acting he considered impeccable had actually failed.
This young man had been playing him from the very beginning; the moment he helped him escape, at the very moment he was feeling complacent, he chose to launch an attack on him.
If he hadn't been on guard the whole time, he would have been heavily injured by that strike just now. This brat is not simple!
"Your name is Tongsheng, right?" Just at this moment, Shen Yu walked forward and looked down at the little boy before him.
"Tongsheng, possessing the outer appearance of a childlike body, likes to use a young state to deceive others' sympathy, and is extremely good at manipulating the human heart. You love to eat fresh blood, especially love hunting down young experts, and also love devouring the essence blood of young children!"
"You once killed all the children in several cities within a single day and slaughtered all the experts in those cities. Your personality is irritable, and your methods are cruel. Rumor has it that the Cultivation Method you practice is extremely special: the younger you look, the deeper your power!"
"You actually know me?" He raised his head in surprise and glanced at Shen Yu. In this Great Contention Era, he could be considered quite famous, but logically speaking, very few things from the past should have been passed down.
That this person before him actually knew, could it be that he was a disciple cultivated by some long-standing power?
However, no matter how long-standing the power, compared to him, they were all just juniors. If this were back in his prime, he could beat all of you with one hand.
Now he was just a tiger fallen on the plains, but one day, the flesh and blood of these juniors would all be devoured by him and turned into his food!
"This seat is very curious, how did you see through it? Or is it that you knew I was here all along?"
"Are you stupid? Do you know if I'm a good person or a bad person? You ask me for help the moment you open your mouth; does your family's child have such big guts?"
Could he tell him that it was a failed system check-in that made him suspicious? Besides that blood-colored figure, only this little brat was left here. If he didn't suspect him, who would he suspect?
However, this old monster before him was quite formidable; he had probed his memories and actually obtained a pile of false memories, and coupled with those watery, innocent big eyes, he had almost believed him.
If he hadn't been smart enough to know to use the Time Golden Chapter to check the other's life, he probably really would have been fooled by him.
Once the Time Golden Chapter scanned, the other's life story would appear on it, with all past experiences recorded on file.
With this old monster's dense list of past events listed on it, Shen Yu knew he had been tricked.
This little bastard—no, old bastard—even liked to pretend to be a child to act pitiful and feign sympathy, using this to hunt down those who still harbored justice; he is truly despicable!
Among these old monsters, there were few who could be more despicable than him, so Shen Yu struck to kill without hesitation, the power of the Mountain and River Map crushing down completely.
It was just that his full-force strike hadn't been effective; although the contact just now was only for an instant, Shen Yu had a general understanding of the other's strength.
To be able to shatter his long-accumulated Sword Qi in an instant, his strength had likely already recovered a portion. These old monsters are always so headache-inducing.
"Consider yourself smart!" Struggling unwillingly to break free from the restraints, but having tried several times to no avail, Tongsheng took a deep breath, his eyes full of malice staring fixedly at Shen Yu.
"This seat's original plan was to let that trash come over and devour me, so that you would subconsciously come to save me. In this sudden situation, you wouldn't have had any time to react!"
"With me in his hands, you would have been afraid to act, and even if you couldn't save me, you would inevitably have been distracted. But if you had successfully saved me, then you would have been dead!"
Raising his head, the other revealed a cruel smile and licked his lips.
"Your flesh and blood will belong to me, and my goal will be achieved."
"It's a pity, it fell short at the final hurdle after all. But it doesn't matter, there will always be opportunities!" Suddenly raising his head and laughing, Tongsheng quietly stomped his foot, and his entire body was completely discarded.
And he himself successfully broke free from the restrictions of the Runes and jumped outside.
"You shouldn't have, you really shouldn't have talked so much nonsense with me... Impossible!"
Before he could even begin to be excited about his escape, layer after layer of Runes surrounded him once again. At this moment, the old monster before him was truly stunned.
I racked my brains to talk nonsense with you, and only after great difficulty did I prepare to discard my body to break free, but it turns out your Array wasn't just set up in one layer, there was another layer outside.
No, it looks like there are even more than two layers; are you nesting rings, damn it!
"Surprised? Unexpected? You still want to run? Once you've reached me, where do you think you're running to?"
The power of the Mountain and River Map was fully mobilized by Shen Yu, pressing down like Mount Tai, and the infinite power stirred up huge waves.
"Legend has it that once, dozens of experts lured you into a trap and trapped you with an Array, but you ended up discarding your body and breaking free from the Array."
"And those experts who surrounded you didn't expect you to be able to escape the Array in this way, and thus they all perished; it seems this matter is also true!"
"It's the Shadowless Sect!" Raising an eyebrow, Tongsheng immediately thought of this sect that could never be killed off.
These people constantly collected information about them in the dark and recorded it quietly, like flies—they couldn't be killed off and couldn't be driven away.
The only ones who could record his information so completely were likely this irritating sect.
"I also once heard it said that if one day you return to an infant body, you can reshape your foundation, shed your old womb, and obtain the Flawless Glazed Pure Body; I don't know if it's true or false!"
"Right, there are also rumors that every time your power rises a level, your body shrinks by a circle, and this time is also when you are at your weakest."
"At this time, even an ordinary expert could potentially take your life."
"Where did you hear all of this from? Even the Shadowless Sect could never possibly have gathered this information!"
With every word Shen Yu spoke, the little boy's face grew a fraction uglier. Everything regarding his information was correct!
Especially the last point; this was where his weakness lay, and he had never mentioned it to anyone. If it were to spread, the consequences would be unimaginable.
This young man before him actually knew it, and spoke of it as if he knew his own family treasures. No matter what, he must die!
