As Ye Qiu began to gradually recover from his injuries, three days had passed in the outside world.
Northeast of Huaxia, in certain mountains.
Boom!
Cat punched out furiously, sending a tall figure in black flying backward, crashing into several trees before falling heavily to the ground.
Puff!
The man in black was seriously injured, continuously spitting out two mouthfuls of blood, his face as pale as paper, looking listless, lying on the ground, his body constantly twitching.
Cat's face was grim, and with a swift move, he appeared next to the man in black, stomping ruthlessly on the man's head, causing him to emit a heart-wrenching howl of pain.
"Are you going to talk or not?" Cat asked coldly!
This man in black was a member of the Blood Cross, and the only clue Cat had found so far.
"I will never betray the Blood Cross!" the man in black gritted his teeth fiercely, unwavering.
"Then let's see how long you can hold out!"
Cat looked increasingly fierce, grabbing the man's right wrist, clutching a finger, and exerting force. With a crunching sound, the finger was forcibly broken.
"Ah!!! Ah!!!"
The man in black roared in agony, tears streaming from his eyes in pain.
"Still not going to speak, are you?"
The man in black still had no intention of talking, and Cat showed no signs of stopping, continuing to break the remaining fingers.
Amidst the screams, Cat heartlessly pulled out a dagger, slashing a vicious wound on the man's arm, then plunged a finger into the cut, grasping a thin object.
It was the man's tendon!
"Seems like you want to feel what it's like being skinned and hanged,"
Cat's voice was sinister, and before the man in black could respond, he pulled hard on the tendon.
With a ripping sound!
The entire tendon was forcefully pulled out.
"Ah!!! No more, please stop torturing me, I'll talk, I'll say everything." The man in black could no longer withstand the unbearable pain, shouting hoarsely, then weakly said, "I'll talk, I'll say everything, Huang Zhentian and the others were originally here on a mission, but then suddenly encountered some issues, and they were taken away; afterwards... afterwards I heard they have been sent to Africa on a mission…"
"Africa? Specifically where?" Cat continued questioning.
"E-Egypt…" the man in black despairingly revealed the mission location. He knew very well that once he did this, he would be brutally killed by the Blood Cross, yet could not endure Cat's cruel torture methods.
"Die!"
Members of Blood Cross, Cat naturally wouldn't let them go easily. Once he got the information, he directly snapped the man in black's neck.
Knowing Ye Qiu was in the Dongfang Family Secret Realm, yet worried about Huang Zhentian and the others' safety, Cat did not wait for Ye Qiu to emerge, sending a text to Ye Qiu's phone, then went to Egypt alone!
Meanwhile!
Inside the Dongfang Family Secret Realm!
As his injuries healed, Ye Qiu's face became more rosy, gradually gaining strength. He stood up and seated himself, sensing the body's changes after integrating the Snow Lotus.
"Strange, why is it that every time my True Qi recovers some, it gets compressed and actively gathers towards my right arm?"
Ye Qiu frowned slightly, puzzled by the occurrence.
"What's going on?" Dongfang Qing beside him was also stunned.
The Eastern Snow Lotus was the top Exotic Treasure within the Dongfang Family Secret Realm, not to mention this Snow Lotus was gifted by the Altar; Dongfang Qing was clear about its healing effects. Previously, a maximum of two hours would ensure Ye Qiu's injuries fully healed.
The current situation, likewise was something unexpected for Dongfang Qing. Ye Qiu could feel True Qi gathering to his right arm, but Dongfang Qing couldn't know, only sensing Ye Qiu's True Qi dissipating bit by bit.
Zhuge Ming and others also noticed the same situation!
Zhuge Ling looked at Zhuge Ming, frowning slightly, saying, "Brother, have you noticed, although that Ye Qiu's injuries are recovering, his True Qi dissipates every time it recovers a bit; could it be that his cultivation is wasted?"
"It's already so obvious, do we even need to say?"
Zhuge Ming's mouth curled into a smug smile, no longer paying attention to Dongfang Qing, but firmly gazing at Ye Qiu, mocking, "Hehe, Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu, now you've truly become a useless person.
Even if your injuries can heal, so what? You can't gather True Qi in your body, ultimately you can only be a normal person.
A normal person, in this world, is just an ant, easy to crush. I advise you not to force it; anyway, if it were me, I couldn't endure such humiliation, I'd end myself directly.
This kind of thing is truly embarrassing. Do you still want to live, becoming a turtle hiding behind women?"
"My brother is right!" Zhuge Ling nodded slightly, following up mockingly, "Now your entire cultivation is wasted, living is worse than a dead person, there's absolutely no meaning in hanging on there, just stop struggling.
Even if Dongfang Qing protects you, she can protect you for a moment, but can she protect you for a lifetime? Eventually, you'll be alone, haven't you offended quite a few enemies? Once you're alone, and caught by your enemies, it'll truly be a fate worse than death!"
Zhuge Ming siblings kept yelling, unable to kill Ye Qiu at the moment, could only vent their anger this way.
The siblings were very certain, for the safety of the Dongfang Family, no matter how strong Dongfang Qing was, she wouldn't act lightly; Ye Qiu, on the other hand, wasn't concerned about such things, decisive in killing, but what's the use?
With cultivation wasted, becoming a normal person, just a useless being, what can he kill?
Thinking Ye Qiu had become useless, Zhuge Ming siblings were overjoyed, imagining the massive blow Ye Qiu was suffering, that this feeling was definitely more torturous than death.
Just as the siblings were gloating, Ye Qiu was secretly sneering.
Hehe, these two fools!
Does dissipating True Qi mean becoming useless?
Really haven't seen the world!
"This time it really is a blessing in disguise." Ye Qiu murmured to himself.
Initially, when he noticed the dissipating True Qi, he thought the same as Dongfang Qing and the others, fearing he was completely ruined. However, he then realized that the True Qi hadn't dissipated, instead, it was compressed, sent to his right arm.
This meant that Ye Qiu's right arm now contained even greater power!
Ye Qiu believed, once all the True Qi was sent to the right arm, the energy contained in it would be comparable to a Divinity Transformation expert!
This implies that although he was at a Half-Step Divinity Transformation level, he could wield Divinity Transformation level power!
If encountering Blood Cross's Tian Deng again, it wouldn't be as embarrassing as before!
