Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 2759 – Plucking a Pig’s Hair

“What do you want to do?” Gu Chunhan’s face was pale, trembling, and he looked completely different from his earlier cunning appearance. He couldn’t understand at all—the only good news was that Zi Zhen and Tianming didn’t kill him, which meant he wouldn’t die today.

But even if he didn’t die, having Zi Zhen grasp his life and being bound and suppressed by Tianming’s two wonders made him extremely uncomfortable.

“Don’t ask, just feel it!” Tianming moved behind him. The Imperial Sword Prison moved like a dragon on his Grand-Orient Sword. Two cosmic impulses integrated into the Imperial Sword Prison, generating more and more sword patterns.

“Don’t kill me—aaaahhh!” Gu Chunhan let out a miserable scream, but the word ‘quiet’ trapped his words in the cave. Tianming’s sword had already pierced into his flesh from behind, digging into his astrons. Its sharp tip reached Gu Chunhan’s spine.

Gu Chunhan felt the pain and continuously screamed. He struggled hard, trying to conceive the idea of capturing Tianming. However, Zi Zhen slapped him so hard even his head flattened.

Gu Chunhan felt like the whole world was buzzing. “What?!” Soon, he felt something strange surging out from Tianming’s Grand-Orient Sword.

“Oh no, am I going to get pregnant?” Gu Chunhan felt desperate. “No, I’m a man!” Thinking of that, Gu Chunhan breathed a sigh of relief. He was really overthinking. After all, what Tianming held was a real sword.

What poured into Gu Chunhan’s body was the Imperial Sword Prison, with Flint Infernal Impulse and Vapor Lightning Impulse as its core, making it much more powerful than before. Of course, Gu Chunhan was also much stronger than an ordinary god.

The killing power of the Grand-Orient Sword isn’t as good as that of an ether-class artifact. The Imperial Sword Prison and Imperealm Sword Formation don’t have enough power. I still need to study how to unlock the remaining cosmic impulses. Tianming noted that down for the future.

He found that although the cosmic impulses weren’t strong, the Imperial Sword Prison itself was quite abnormal. The sword patterns were like divine patterns that spread all over Gu Chunhan’s body, attaching to the surface of each astron like a sword hanging over them.

Gu Chunhan kept screaming, pressed down by Zi Zhen, and even tried to roll on the ground. Tianming stepped on him, the wonder continuing to suppress him while he continued to infuse the Imperial Sword Prison into him.

Three hours! After three hours, a strange golden-black sword light began flickering on Gu Chunhan’s dark skin. Every astron in his entire body had been invaded by the Imperial Sword Prison.

“Compared to before, this is really much more complicated.” Before, killing someone didn’t require destroying all their astrons—any vital organ would do. After three hours, Tianming was a bit tired.

However, as long as the Imperial Sword Prison didn’t activate, Gu Chunhan couldn’t feel the threat of life and death himself. So when Zi Zhen saw Tianming nod, she let go of Gu Chunhan.

“What’ve you done to my body?” Gu Chunhan retreated, vigilantly staring at them.

“Just listen to me,” Tianming said.

“Listen? Does that mean you want me to work for you? You really think of me, Gu Chunhan, as a soft persimmon, don’t you? Let me tell you, even if I die, I won’t be used by you!” Gu Chunhan grit his teeth.

His words had just finished, when suddenly, a gold-and-black sword aura emerged from Gu Chunhan’s arm. From the inside out, countless strands of sword qi appeared. Each strand only destroyed one astron, but in an instant, all the astrons on Gu Chunhan’s entire arm were annihilated and he lost an arm!

“What?!” He was shocked. He had lost an arm just like that!

“In short, with a single thought of mine now, I can make your entire body disappear just like that arm a moment ago. So, if you don’t listen, we don’t mind changing our target,” Tianming calmly said with a smile.

Gu Chunhan looked at the neatly cut section of his severed arm, his dark face trembling.

“What a man! Master!” Gu Chunhan silently recited ‘those who understand the times are wise’ and immediately knelt down, his face full of piety. “I was wrong. Whatever orders you have, just tell me. I’m familiar with this place.”

His change of expression could be considered textbook-level.

“First, hand over all your soulstones,” Tianming said.

“Ah! Aren’t you asking for my life?” Gu Chunhan’s eyes turned red.

“You can also choose to vanish,” Tianming expressionlessly said.

Gu Chunhan looked at Zi Zhen, thinking she was in charge, but when he saw her close her eyes, he realized that Tianming was the real boss.

“I was wrong! I’ll hand them over now.” A lifetime of savings! As long as it was handed over, it would instantly disappear. But life and death were at stake, so Gu Chunhan couldn’t care about it so much. Despite the pain, he acted quickly.

“Quite rich, eh?” Tianming counted and found that the soulstones on the demonhog’s body added up to about ten million.

“Nothing much… nothing much at all,” Gu Chunhan said, crying.

Tianming confiscated the ten million soulstones and gave Gu Chunhan a stern look. “Although you’ve paid the money, you still have to listen. Do what I say or I’ll make you disappear.”

“Yes, yes, yes….” Gu Chunhan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

“Let him lead the way and it should be no problem to meet people from the New Shrine. The key is the fifty million soulstones and the ten million tip. It seems that they must be paid.” Zi Zhen was worried.

“Counting this ten million, we only have twenty-five million. Still more than thirty million short,” Tianming was equally troubled; time was running out.

“So you really want to stay in the imperial capital?” Gu Chunhan stared, dumbfounded.

“Otherwise?” Tianming asked.

“You only have fifteen million, but you came to me for an introduction?” Gu Chunhan felt speechless. Wasn’t his courage too bold? He was about to say a few mocking words, but when he saw Tianming’s strange eyes, he felt a little uneasy.

“Oh, right, just now you said you have many brothers and friends living nearby?” Tianming smiled and asked.

“Yes….” Gu Chunhan’s expression collapsed and he lowered his head.

“We’ll deal with them the same way we dealt with you. You don’t mind, right?” Tianming said.

“Huh?” Gu Chunhan was dumbfounded.

Tianming and Zi Zhen looked at each other.

“No time to delay. Gu Chunhan, get up and lead the way,” Tianming solemnly said.

“Brother, isn’t it unnecessary to fleece someone like this?” Gu Chunhan cried.

“We’re not fleecing sheep, we’re plucking pig hair,” Tianming said.

Gu Chunhan was on the verge of collapse.
