"Aren't you underestimating me?" The spear hanging on the Yaksha's body automatically detached itself and flew a few meters away before stopping on the ground. It turned into Su Yunyue, who was holding a spear. "How can I die so easily? If I had to die from just one slash from you, I wouldn't even know how many times I would have died.”
"You two don't have to force yourselves.”Yaksha said," Put down your weapons! Surrender immediately!"
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Shen Xianlai and Su Yunyue rolled their eyes.
Yaksha shook his head and said," You're not willing to put down your weapon? He really refused a toast and drank a forfeit. Since that's the case…Forget it, I don't want to make things difficult for you two children. You guys can leave."
When Yaksha saw that Shen Xianlai and Su Yunyue were still standing there, he said angrily," I told you to leave, but you didn't. Are you really tired of living?" Don't wait for me to change my mind. I'll make you suffer.”
Shen Xianlai stood a few meters away and looked at Yaksha. He smiled and said," Brother, can you look at your feet before you speak?”
Yaksha looked down at his feet and realized that he was actually entangled by a few vines. He knew that this was a type of spirit binding technique, but he could not break free no matter what. "Do you think you can deal with me with such a small trick? You're wrong."
"I just wanted to try." As Shen Xianlai spoke, he raised his demon-subduing pestle and charged at the Yaksha. "I want to see if I can really defeat you. My weapon is called the Demon Subduing Pestle. Legend has it that this is a very effective weapon against demons. It was especially painful to hit someone with an impure heart. Brother, is your heart pure?"
It had been a long time since Xu Shunping had suffered such pain.
That yaksha was Xu Shunping's spirit weapon. Xu Shunping injected his Heavenly Soul into that yaksha in order to control it. However, any pain that the Yaksha suffered would be reflected on Xu Shunping. That Yaksha was currently being beaten up by Shen Xianlai, so Xu Shunping would also feel intense pain. It was as if the demon-subduing pestle had hit Xu Shunping himself.
Helpless, Xu Shunping could only withdraw the Heavenly Soul that he had injected into the Yaksha. He decided to give up on this yaksha spirit weapon. He had really underestimated Shen Xianlai and Su Yunyue. Especially that Su Yunyue, he was the one who set up the Spirit Binding Technique. At such a young age, he actually had such strong spiritual power. After binding the Yaksha, the Yaksha was simply a lamb that was at the mercy of others.
Xu Shunping was originally a scholar in Shangjing during the Ming Dynasty. When he passed by Gujiu Ocean, he encountered robbers. At that time, Gu Xianyang was still uninhabited, with only a few scattered villages. The people that these villages feared the most were the Chen brothers on Jilu Mountain. The two of them occupied Jilu Mountain and would go down the mountain to plunder from time to time. On the day Xu Shunping passed by Jilu Mountain, he was coincidentally seen by the two brothers and was taken up the mountain.
Xu Shunping was a scholar who had studied Zhu Cheng's philosophy since he was a child. He was devoted to his studies. Although he was tall and strong, he was no match for the Chen brothers who often fought with wild beasts barehanded on the mountain.
The Chen brothers were not ordinary bandits. They were much more vicious than ordinary bandits. Ordinary bandits only wanted the money of passers-by. As for the lives of passers-by, they were useless. Although they often killed people, their main purpose was to rob. If you were targeted by those bandits, as long as you handed over the money honestly, they wouldn't kill you. Being targeted by the Chen brothers, other than losing all their belongings, they would also lose their lives.
The people near Jilu Mountain all said that the Chen brothers were not humans. Their mother, Miss Chen, had been kidnapped by a demon for a year and had given birth to these two vile children with the demon. Therefore, the Chen brothers would occasionally catch passersby on the road, cook them, and dry them into dried meat. The villagers at the foot of the mountain were also often captured. Those who could move away from the vicinity of Jilu Mountain had already moved away.
Xu Shunping knew that the legends of the villagers were true. The Chen brothers were indeed cannibals.
When Xu Shunping was captured, he thought that the other party was just an ordinary mountain bandit who had captured him up the mountain in exchange for ransom. Along the way, Xu Shunping told the two bandits that he was just a poor scholar and begged them to let him go. However, after Xu Shunping arrived at the camp built by the Chen brothers on the mountain, he knew that his original opposite was wrong.
Around the camp, there were many wooden shelves, on which there was a lot of dried meat. Xu Shunping originally thought that those were just wild beasts that had been skinned. Later on, he discovered that there were actually some people who had been skinned. The skin of those corpses had been peeled off, revealing dark red muscles. Some parts of them were still flowing with grease, shining under the strong sunlight. The bodies of these human corpses were cut open from the chest to the abdomen, and the internal organs in the chest and abdomen were emptied. These corpses were hooked by iron hooks and hung on wooden shelves. There were at least thirty of them, but some of them were the corpses of wild beasts. Some of these corpses had already been dried and looked hard. Some of them looked like they had only been dead for a few days and their flesh was still fresh.
Xu Shunping's fate was no different from the other passers-by captured by the bandits of the Chen Clan.
The Chen brothers boiled a large cauldron of water. That's right, they used a huge cauldron to boil water. That cauldron could even fit a pig, let alone a person.
Xu Shunping knew that in the eyes of these two bandits, he was no different from a chicken or a duck. If there was a difference between them and chickens and ducks waiting to be slaughtered, it was just that they had more weight and more meat on their bodies.
Confucius once said, a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen. Xu Shunping only realized how correct this sentence was when he was on his deathbed. A chef was not scary. What was scary was that the chef was cooking for himself. During the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period, there was a guy called Yi Ya who cooked his own son to death and offered it to the monarch. Even a vicious tiger wouldn't eat its cubs, but a chef could throw his own kin into the pot to cook.
In Xu Shunping's eyes, the two mountain bandits in front of him were undoubtedly the most terrifying chefs he had ever seen.
In the eyes of the bandits, Xu Shunping was the most tender person they had captured in the past few years. Xu Shunping's flesh looked much more tender than the little girl's. Since it was tender, it must taste good. Therefore, the bandits did not prepare to make Xu Shunping into jerky and store him. Instead, they prepared to make Xu Shunping into meat soup and eat him.
The Chen brothers obviously didn't plan to kill Xu Shunping before they cooked him. They simply tied Xu Shunping up and threw him directly into the cauldron filled with boiling water. The purpose of doing this was to use boiling water to burn Xu Shunping to death. On the other hand, using boiling water to burn him would easily peel off Xu Shunping's skin and body hair.
Using the boiling water in the cauldron to boil Xu Shunping was just a pre-treatment. Next, they had to skin Xu Shunping, remove his internal organs, dismember him, and cook him. Although they were mountain bandits, although they could not speak human language, although they were said to be the descendants of demons and human women, they were not completely barbaric creatures.
Xu Shunping was filled with hatred. Why did the local government send troops to exterminate such an evil thief? In fact, the government had sent soldiers and the local people had organized local soldiers, but those people could not defeat the Chen brothers. This showed that the Chen brothers were really the descendants of demons. If he wasn't a descendant of a demon, how could he have such powerful combat strength?
