Fu Lao Liu did not want to die; he knew how vicious the contents of the sphere were.
Although that thing couldn't compare to real lightning, its armor-piercing capability was extreme.
He had lied earlier. If that thing were truly crushed, the entire private room would be filled with countless steel needles, and anyone nearby would be riddled with holes like a sieve.
However, before he could stop it.
A muffled sound came from Mu Feng's hands.
Fu Lao Liu had already prepared himself for certain death, but in an instant, his eyes widened.
Within his heart, colossal waves of shock surged.
"Impossible!"
"Why aren't you hurt?"
Mu Feng slowly opened his palms.
The countless black needles were already severely deformed, discarded casually onto the ground.
The clear, pleasant jingle of metal was distinct.
On Mu Feng's face, a chilling, sneering smile appeared. "Now your reliance is gone, and you are no match for me. Tell me, how should I deal with you next?"
Fu Lao Liu involuntarily recalled scenes from years past.
How strikingly similar they were.
Back then, he stood like a god in the Mu family's estate, wantonly toying with their lives.
Now their positions were reversed. Mu Feng was like an omnipotent deity, holding his life in his hands.
"I'll give you a chance to resist and struggle. You can consider me playing with a mouse."
"This chance is only once."
Fu Lao Liu looked at the playful, chilling smile on Mu Feng's face. His heart sank to the bottom. After a moment of hesitation, he directly shouted, "I can help you lure Li Changhe out."
"I met him not long ago. He is indeed hiding very secretly; even I don't know where he is."
"But since he wants to use me, if he knows I'm still alive, he'll surely be curious."
"He'll inevitably want to see me and probe for information."
Mu Feng sneered coldly, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Fu Lao Liu's mind raced. He quickly shouted, "I can give you the complete list of everyone who participated in that incident back then."
"Allowing you to avenge yourself thoroughly. The ones who stained your Mu family with blood, you can personally slaughter them."
"I know you definitely want revenge. After all, your entire Mu family, hundreds of people, all died overnight."
"And don't forget, you still have parents. They are still missing. But I know a lead."
"This lead is related to a powerful family."
The smile on Mu Feng's face grew more evident. Upon closer inspection, the coldness in his eyes was almost palpable, like ice blades piercing directly into one's heart.
"If these are the only two pieces of information, they are not enough to let you live."
"If you cannot provide any more value, then your life ends here."
Fu Lao Liu watched Mu Feng, who was walking closer, and his heart trembled.
He didn't want to die. A moment's hesitation led him to a decision. He fell back slowly, a hint of madness appearing on his face. "Mu Feng, if you force me to my death, you might not get a single piece of information."
"Only I know the answers to these two pieces of information."
"Moreover, I can lure Li Changhe out for you. My survival is entirely beneficial to you."
"Don't be impulsive!"
Mu Feng said with a half-smile, "You are the impulsive one. I advise you not to flee, or you will regret it."
Fu Lao Liu felt as if he had been seen through. Without any hesitation, he leaped up on his legs and dashed towards the glass.
The glass shattered, and countless bloody gashes appeared on his body.
Just as he thought he could jump from this floor,
The air suddenly condensed, as if an invisible hand had grabbed him, pulling him back forcefully.
As he landed on the ground, he saw Mu Feng's mocking expression.
At this moment, he felt his heart and liver trembling uncontrollably.
"You... what realm are you?"
A faint smile appeared on Mu Feng's face. "You are not qualified to know yet. Now, you are about to regret it."
With that, he gave Fu Lao Liu no further chance to speak. More than a dozen silver needles struck down like lightning.
Fu Lao Liu felt a pain that crushed his bones, drawing out his marrow bit by bit. This torment made him cry out involuntarily.
"This is just the beginning. I've given you an appetizer, and you're already screaming?"
"The main course is still coming!"
He wore a faint smile, his eyes as cold as ice.
He plunged another silver needle into him.
"Now the pain you feel has doubled. Because you are a martial artist, your nerves are exceptionally tough, and you won't easily die from pain. I will let you enjoy it slowly."
Fu Lao Liu was ruthless to himself. He immediately bit his tongue.
Severe blood loss could cause him to pass out and die.
He prepared to bite his tongue off, swallowed the blood, and kept it down.
But before he could exert force, Mu Feng grabbed his chin.
"If you want to die, you must have my permission."
Mu Feng then punched Fu Lao Liu fiercely in the dantian.
Fu Lao Liu's eyes widened, bloodshot and surging. He opened his mouth but couldn't utter a sound. In his pupils, there was extreme anger, as if his fury could manifest physically.
"Don't look at me like that. Crippling your cultivation is to make you behave. Next are your limbs. I will dislocate your joints one by one."
"Someone told me you treated my Mu family members this way back then."
"Now, I can only be considered returning your own medicine."
After more than ten minutes, Fu Lao Liu's spirit was utterly broken. The torment had made him wish for death.
Death itself was a luxury he could not attain.
Mu Feng slowly released his grip.
"Give me a quick death. Let me die. Li Changhe is in Qinghai, but I really don't know where he's hiding."
"And your parents' disappearance is related to a powerful family, but that's all I know. For more information, you'll have to find Li Changhe. He is the true mastermind."
"He was the one who found me back then, and I helped find some people to join."
"I am the one who killed the most people from your Mu family, and I did unspeakable things to your women, torturing them severely."
"Kill me, give me a quick death. I have no more value."
At this point, his spirit had completely collapsed. He told Mu Feng everything he knew, not wanting to endure another second of such torment.
Mu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly. He had already guessed that Li Changhe was hiding in Qinghai, and now it was confirmed.
And in his mind, a location had already been pinpointed.
