Chapter 2403 Inhumane Cruelty
Chapter 2403 Inhumane Cruelty
"Daoist Lin Mo, what are you doing?" Crown Prince Feng Shun asked, feeling uneasy.
"Just appreciating some beauty." Lin Mo said lightly before suddenly looking in the distance. "Though it seems like they don't wish for me to enjoy." He spoke as a frown appeared on his face.
"Who?" the others looked in the direction but saw nothing there as all the Chimeric Beasts had already been killed.
~CRACK~
A moment later though, the space started to crack about a kilometer away before a large rift formed.
~WHOOSH~WHOOSH~WHOOSH~
And from the rift, over ten thousand cultivators flew out all wearing black robes with fish skin headbands.
"The Black Fin Island members!" Daoist Chu called out as he held talismans out to defend.
There had been a few members before that had been killed by Lin Mo's slash but it was clear that they weren't the main group. "After you get rid of the scouts, the rest shall appear…" Lin Mo spoke in an unpleased tone.
"There he is! Kill that dog who's been bothering our mistress!" the Black Fin Island members shouted before charging in.
Hearing that though, Lin Mo's lips stiffened. "Mortal you dare insult me? You insult this majesty!?" Lin Mo roared back. "I WILL UNMAKE YOU!" This time, Lin Mo didn't use the swords and instead he just extended his right hand.
"MELD!" he seemingly gripped the air causing all the Black Fin Island Members to stop in their tracks.
Though it wasn't something as simple as being frozen in fear or intimidation, rather they had been frozen in space!
Some were frozen in the middle of the air while some were frozen mid way to a jump. Lin Mo then made a pulling gesture as the Black Fin Island members were brought closer to him. He also eased his control on them, allowing them to be able to move their heads again.
"What is this!?"
"Restraining skill?"
"Release us!"
The Black Fin Island members were shocked at being unable to move.
"Mere pests think they can insult me?" Lin Mo scoffed. "I should teach you what you are." He said before making a twisting gesture in the air.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" As soon as Lin Mo did that, a horrifying act took place.
The space twisted around each and every Black Fin Island member as their robes were torn off. But that was merely the start as next their skin started getting peeled off!
Ribbons of skin came of all of them as they screamed in an inhumane vote. The space seemingly turned into a peeler, as it continue to peel off layer after layer until all their skin was gone.
~SLICK~SLICK~SLICK~SLICK~
Instead of just skin, ribbons of flesh started to come off, leaving only their mouths safe so that they could continue to scream.
A proud smile was on Lin Mo's face as he watched the agony of his foes.
"STOPPPPTHIS" Their voices had turned hoarse by this time and they could only keep on crying out.
No tears came out of their eyes through for all that flesh had been stripped away leaving their bare skulls exposed with half torn eyes.
"This is what you all deserve!" Lin Mo shouted as he made a squeezing gesture.
~CRACK~CRACK~CRACK~
Their limbs started to bend and fold at awkward angles before starting to crumple.
The bones and flesh were turned into a gory mess as their bodies were reduced to mere torsos with four 'meat bags' attached to them.
Crown Prince Feng Shun and the rest watched as absolute cruelty was unleashed upon the Black Fin Island members. They couldn't even believe what they were watching being done.
Min Ju and Crown Princess Shang covered their mouths with their hands, as tears threated to fall from their eyes.
Qiao De and Daoist Chu closed their eyes, unable to bear the sheer display of power. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Monk Hushu though was calm, a still expression on his face.
'Daoist Lin Mu you've gone beyond humanity…' Monk Hushu thought. 'I just hope you can endure the cost.' He prayed silently.
~HUALA~
Another wave of energy was released from Lin Mo's body as his cultivation base seemingly rose again.
"Seventh Tribulation Stage of the Immortal Realm!?" Elder Hu sensed it and was shocked. "He was at the Fifth stage barely a short while ago." Ziran said before he connected the dots. "Those souls… He's consuming them to increase his cultivation base." He realized.
Hearing that the others were utterly horrified.
"Isn't that… that… the work of the devils!?" Qiao De said in terror.
As cultivators they had all heard of the devils which came in many forms. Their power was immense and they were born from evil.
As such, they would consume the very essence of creatures to thrive which was none other than their souls.
But this power was forbidden and anyone who attempted something like this would be hunted down by the entire immortal court.
For this was the power of the devils and anyone who learned it was considered as a Devil Cultivator!
Even people of the Unorthodox path were wary of the Devils and would hunt them along with the Orthodox path if found for the devils were far too dangerous to let them be.
"It can't be… Daoist Lin Mu is… a devil cultivator?" Crown Princess Shang gasped.
"That's not possible." Monk Hushu stated. "With someone as deep in the Buddhist path as him, becoming a devil cultivator is out of the question." "Then what is all this?" Qiao De questioned.
"He said it himself, it is a gamble." Monk Hushu answered. "And that is not our Lin Mu… That is Lin Mo." He corrected.
~THUD~THUD~THUD~
"Ugh!" But just as they were all talking about Lin Mu, the man in question suddenly stumbled.
He held his head and lost control over the Black Fin Island members, as their limbless screaming bodies seemingly fell to the ground.
"Already the time?" Lin Mo groaned. "Looks like I can't have fun anymore."
