Ryu was 500 meters away, sitting on a distant mountain peak. But, to those with their cultivation, he might as well have been sitting right in front of her face. He could see every bead of sweat falling down her perfect figure, he could see the beating of her heart through her fair skin, he could see the tears threatening to fall from her face.
Usually, such injuries would only take her a few seconds to heal from, even with how severe they were. For someone like her, reconnecting severed tendons and ligaments was just a matter of a thought.
But, after over drafting her Vital Qi, she no longer had such a luxury. She could hardly even think straight. Her mind kept shifting between a crippling fear of death and a fire lighting her loins. The worst part was that Ryu’s stare seemed to ensure that the former wouldn’t go away, while she couldn’t even move to handle the latter.
Whatever reason she had left didn’t seem to understand why or how this was happening. Was she not beautiful? Was he even a man? Someone with the Mysteries of Heaven and Earth Pupils couldn’t tell that she was a virgin with one look? What the hell was wrong with him?!
This was only the tip of the iceberg. What made it all worse was that Ryu must have taken this risk to battle her so that he could find out more about his enemy. Yet, he wasn’t even asking her questions, he wasn’t even attempting to interrogate her. It was as though he didn’t even care anymore and only wanted to watch her suffer.
Isemeine began to scream incoherently, her hips swinging as though a mad beast in heat. Since she couldn’t get Ryu, she had settled for the abrasive rock between her legs. But, she was so firmly implanted into the rock and her body was so weak after being sapped of its Vital Qi that she couldn’t even reach it.
As though a ravenous beast, Isemeine snarled, spittle flying from her mouth as she descended further into madness. By this point, whatever coherent thoughts she had had were all gone. Her singular thought was of putting something inside of her, anything to release her of this heat.
At that moment, Ryu rose, his expression giving away nothing. However, his mind was filled with sinister thoughts.
He had every intention of going to find the very same Rotting Gorilla Clan she had wanted to drop him in and let her vent all her desires out thoroughly. However, it was at that moment that a voice whispered into his ear, one that cause him to frown, the darkness in his eyes dulling somewhat.
”Are you certain that you want to do that?”
The problem wasn’t the words spoken. One part of the issue was that they were spoken at all and the second part was the fact it was the voice of Eska.
It didn’t make sense for Eska to be able to reach him like this. The four Ancestors were all anchored within the Library. If they could so easily leave and communicate with Ryu, he wouldn’t have survived for this long. With that sort of freedom, and their level of cultivation, they could have found a million and one ways to kill him… And that was just on a single given day.
With Ryu’s intelligence, it only took him a moment to understand even with his mind fogged by lust and rage.
”My Master sent you.”
Eska didn’t respond. By now, it was obvious what had happened.
When Ryu asked Balaur to clear the summoning formation from his soul so that he could redraw it on his own, he had obviously taken the opportunity to allow a piece of Eska’s soul in as well. With Ryu’s poor talent and the gap in strength between him, his master and Eska, it was no wonder he hadn’t even noticed.
All this time, Eska had clearly been waiting for the appropriate moment. As for what she wanted to do, Ryu had a guess but he still wasn’t certain.
If it was anyone else who had done this to him, Ryu would have likely already fallen into a rage. He might not have hated it as much as being tested, but he most definitely didn’t enjoy being led by the nose and definitely didn’t like being manipulated.
There was no sugarcoating it, that was exactly what was happening. And it was by individuals with far more experience than himself at that.
”Piss off.”
Not receiving a response, Ryu’s own answer was short and to the point.
Ryu didn’t make decisions casually. He had chosen to take Balaur as his master. As such, he treated him with the due respect. He felt that he had already been very lenient. If this was started by anyone else, he would have likely already turned [Divine Chaotic Annihilation] on them.
It would have been one thing if Eska continued to hide. But now that he knew she was there and where she was, even with her cultivation, she would be in great danger. Ryu couldn’t project [Divine Chaotic Annihilation] outside of his body because he lacked the cultivation, but setting it free within his own mind was as easy as breathing.
Eska didn’t respond for a long while. At one point, one might have thought that she had taken the hint.
But, a while later, a soft sigh rang through Ryu’s mind once again.
”You are very stubborn. Too stubborn. I just don’t understand. You are willing to do everything, even to the point of putting your life on the line again and again, all for the sake of saving your family. But, you draw the line at fucking a hole?”
Ryu froze.
This kind of vulgarity… He would have never expected to ever here it spoken with Eska’s voice.
