Chapter 1090: Means

"You will never know how many heaven-reaching and earth-shattering means a Dharma Cultivator possesses." Chen Yu smiled slightly and took out two blood-colored talismans; these two blood-colored talismans were bright in color, as if they had been dyed red with fresh blood.

Moreover, they were inscribed with Heaven and Earth Profound Gate symbols, and the backs were patterned with ancient fierce beasts.

"I'll just watch how you get out of this." Tang Xue looked at Chen Yu with a smile; she did not believe Chen Yu could escape, as this cage was specially prepared for him.

"Then just watch." Chen Yu stuck the two talismans onto the cage that was trapping him, his hands moving in circles and points, finally pointing heavily at the talismans.

Whoosh—the two talismans ignited on their own. One could see the two steel bars that had been stuck with the talismans suddenly turning red rapidly, just like steel being forged by a raging fire, and there was even a faint tendency for them to melt.

Tang Xue was taken aback; the scorching sensation caused the few strands of hair on her forehead to curl slightly. She looked at the talismans in front of Chen Yu in disbelief; the temperature there was extremely high, reaching a very high melting point.

"No need to be surprised. This is the Eight Directions Profound Fire Talisman. The temperature emitted in a small area over a short time reaches several thousand degrees. Even if the God Lord's things are powerful, they haven't reached the point where they can't be melted by this temperature, right?"

As Chen Yu spoke, he pointed his right hand forward and struck out with the Li Chen. Bang—the cage was broken open by him. He took a step out, and he had already regained his freedom.

Tang Xue turned to leave, but her body stiffened, freezing on the spot, unable to move at all.

Chen Yu walked over slowly from behind her. He smiled slightly and said, "Tang Xue, this time, I have to take you back."

"You aren't killing me?" Tang Xue asked with a stiff body.

"I can't bring myself to do it. Your nature is not bad after all," Chen Yu shook his head and said, "It's just that you've taken the wrong path."

"Heh, I don't think I've taken the wrong path," Tang Xue said coldly, "If you don't kill me, I will kill you the moment I have a chance."

"Can you bring yourself to do it?" Chen Yu moved his Mind Power, and Tang Xue immediately regained her freedom.

Chen Yu took out a Dagger and gave it to her: "Come, kill me. I'll stand here without moving."

"Do you really think I wouldn't dare?" Tang Xue arched her willow eyebrows and suddenly swung the Dagger in her hand, stabbing toward Chen Yu's chest without hesitation.

Pfft—the entire Dagger sank into Chen Yu's chest.

Fresh blood flowed down Chen Yu's chest. His face turned slightly pale, and he staggered back a few steps.

"Chen Yu, you..." Tang Xue was stunned. She had originally thought that with Chen Yu's strength, it would be impossible for her to hurt him, but she had not expected that this strike of hers would actually directly wound Chen Yu.

"I, I didn't mean to. Why didn't you dodge? How could this ordinary knife hurt you?" Tang Xue was so anxious she was at a loss; she truly did not know what to do.

The blood from Chen Yu's chest flowed out as if it were worthless. Tang Xue was anxious to the point of tears; she hugged Chen Yu, desperately covering his wound: "Why didn't you dodge? Why?"

"One centimeter more and it would have stabbed directly into my heart." Chen Yu stared at her, then used force to pull out the Dagger, handing the blood-drenched Dagger back to Tang Xue: "Come, take it."

"No, Brother Chen, don't force me." Tang Xue shook her head desperately.

"Haven't you always hated me? Haven't you always wanted to tear me into ten thousand pieces? Now I am fulfilling your wish. I have dispersed my Protective Qi and am not using any power to repair my wound. If you slash me a few more times, you can kill me."

"Or, even if you can't kill me, you can vent your anger. Isn't that good?"

"No, I don't want to. Brother Chen, don't be like this. Hurry and stop your bleeding." Tang Xue stomped her feet in anxiety. The blood spurted out from between her fingers as if it were worthless.

"You just wanted to go against me so that I would pay more attention to you, so you didn't actually want to hurt me, right?" Chen Yu smiled.

"Yes, I didn't want to hurt you, Brother Chen. Don't be like this." Tang Xue's tears fell uncontrollably: "I went against you just to get your attention. Even if you hate me, it's still better than ignoring me."

"I was wrong. I beg you, hurry and stop your bleeding." Tang Xue's tears fell in torrents. Now she was truly both shocked and afraid. Although she knew Chen Yu couldn't die, seeing that wound on Chen Yu's body, her tears still could not stop falling.

Her heart ached; her heart ached for Chen Yu even more than for herself. She didn't know why she was like this. She had originally made up her mind to draw a clear line with Chen Yu, but when Chen Yu really took a knife and asked her to kill him, she still couldn't bring herself to do it.

Chen Yu took a deep breath, and the wound on his chest slowly healed. Possessing the ability of Regeneration, this little injury was actually just a superficial wound to him; at most, he lost some blood, which wouldn't cost him his life, but this was enough to scare Tang Xue until her face turned pale.

"Come back to Huaxia with me. Can you do that?" Chen Yu asked Tang Xue.

"Go back, I'll go back with you. I promise I won't cause you any more trouble in the future." Seeing Chen Yu like this, Tang Xue's face was full of heartache.

All her coldness and ruthlessness were faked. Only when her most beloved person was seriously injured did she realize how much her heart ached. Although this man did not belong to her, she would not let him be hurt.

Furthermore, this vicious stab had been delivered by her own hand; this was truly more painful than stabbing herself.

"Are you sure?" Chen Yu smiled.

"I'm sure. I'll go back with you, Brother Chen. I promise I won't make mistakes again. I will draw a clear line with the God Lord." Tang Xue nodded, tears streaming down her face.

"If you had done this earlier, I wouldn't have had to take this stab." Chen Yu sucked in a cold breath from the pain. Although this couldn't cause him substantial harm, having this knife stuck in his body was truly quite painful.

"I'm sorry, Brother Chen." Tang Xue was teary-eyed; she hugged Chen Yu tightly, her tears falling like rain.

"Let's go. We'll talk about everything once we're out. This is a Prison." Chen Yu looked up and said.

"Mm." Tang Xue's face flushed slightly, and then she stood up. Just as the two were about to leave, the alarm inside the Prison suddenly sounded, followed by several 'click-clack' sounds as all the exits in the Prison were sealed off.

"Oh no, the Prison's active defense system has been activated." Tang Xue's expression changed slightly.

"Did the God Lord do it?" Chen Yu asked.

"Yes. This Prison was actually designed with the participation of his people. Although the defense system seems average on the surface, once the active defense system is activated, it means all paths are cut off. There are three levels here, and we are currently in the most core area."

"Because this is built inside a Mountain, it is very difficult to charge out." Tang Xue hurriedly took out a control button, intending to shut down the defense system, but upon pressing it, the control button emitted a red glow.
