Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?! Chapter 1030 - 542: Eighth Life: A Thousand Cuts, Destroy the Thief Within!

"Are you Fang Hai?"

Disregarding the Giant Whale Gang members drawing nearer step by step, Lu Yuan turned his attention to the chubby fellow instead.

The fellow's looks were repulsive, his build squat, and a cunning glint lurked in his gaze that words could hardly capture.

Upon spotting him, the rest of the Cyan Cloud Sect disciples shuddered in terror and hopelessness, as though they had suffered under his cruelty previously.

When Su Rhyme laid eyes on him, intense loathing surged in her gaze, her eyes reddening at once, burning with the urge to slice him apart a thousand times over!

"You’ve heard of my name?"

Fang Hai cast a bored look at Lu Yuan, paying no mind to the stares around him.

"I’ll give you one last chance. If you kneel and beg for mercy and hand over that ice-cold chick, perhaps I might spare your life."

"Is that so?"

"The Giant Whale Gang, being such a prominent local faction, how could it raise such a worthless wretch like you?"

"Aren’t you afraid of offending those you can’t afford to mess with?"

With a steady voice, Lu Yuan addressed him, showing no concern whatsoever for the handful of Giant Whale Gang thugs.

"How dare you! How I conduct myself is not for a commoner like you to discuss!"

Fang Hai exploded in rage upon hearing this.

For years, he had dominated Xuandan City without restraint, so he was well aware of who he could bully and who was off-limits.

A figure like Han Qingxuan, a lone wandering cultivator lacking any backing or ties, was clearly the simplest target to control.

Yet this young punk Lu Yuan had the audacity to talk down to him like that?

"Break his limbs; I want him to regret ever coming into this world!"

Fang Hai's expression darkened as he barked the command in fury.

"Just with these Nirvana cultivators?"

A spark of mockery lit up in Lu Yuan's eyes.

His words had barely left his mouth.

Suddenly, the Giant Whale Gang members stiffened in place, resembling lifeless stone figures, incapable of so much as a twitch.

"What are you all standing there for?"

Clueless about what was happening, Fang Hai assumed they were stalling deliberately and prodded them forward.

However, moments passed.

As he noticed them remaining utterly still, he at last sensed that something was amiss.

"What did you do to them?"

Fang Hai's features paled a bit; he fixed a piercing stare on Lu Yuan, demanding answers fiercely.

"Do you enjoy breaking others’ limbs?"

Facing Fang Hai's inquiry, Lu Yuan offered no reply and abruptly shifted the topic.

"What do you intend to do?"

Under Lu Yuan's icy stare, Fang Hai's face drained of color, an unseen force squeezing his heart, flooding him with ominous dread!

"I want you to experience this feeling too."

Though Lu Yuan's tone was gentle, his words echoed with the frost of the Nine Nether Hell, sending involuntary shivers through Fang Hai.

Right after those words escaped him.

A fearsome aura erupted from Lu Yuan, crashing down on Fang Hai akin to an Ancient Divine Mountain.

This presence delved as profoundly as the abyss of hell; not even a Void Dao Saint Master in the early stage could stand against it.

As for Fang Hai, who had squandered years in debauchery, stuck at merely the mid-term of Celestial Destiny cultivation, how could he possibly endure such overwhelming force?

His frame quaked violently, like a colossal peak was bearing down upon it.

His knees buckled at once, forcing him to drop to the ground with a thud, splintering the solid floor into multiple fissures.

"Crack!"

Beneath this crushing weight, Fang Hai's kneecaps shattered, crimson blood seeping forth.

"Aaaah!"

"How dare you lay a hand on me, do you know who my father is?"

Fang Hai slammed his palms onto the earth, his form wracked with agony, sweat drenching him in icy streams.

He wailed like a pig facing the slaughter, his shrill cries stabbing at the onlookers' ears.

After all, spoiled by a life of indulgence, he had never faced such barbaric torment before.

Yet in the instant that followed.

His cries cut off sharply, his visage twisting in horror and utter hopelessness.

With a mere flicker of intent from Lu Yuan, employing Divine Thought Power once more, he pulverized Fang Hai's supporting hands, mashing them to mush!

Starting with the digits, progressing to the knuckles, then the hand flats, up the forearms...

Lu Yuan modulated the force with exactness and dragged it out on purpose, ensuring Fang Hai savored every excruciating bit of his limbs being demolished bit by bit.

The torment of his arms being pulverized this way surpassed in agony any swift dismemberment.

It almost drove Fang Hai into unconsciousness from the sheer suffering, silencing his cries!

However, as Su Rhyme and the fellow Cyan Cloud Sect disciples beheld Fang Hai squirming on the dirt like a bloated larva, thrashing in frenzy, a gleam of righteous satisfaction sparked in their eyes.

After all, Fang Hai had daily executed a Cyan Cloud Sect disciple right in front of them to coerce Su Rhyme into yielding.

Consequently, they had endured endless dread and torment over these recent days.

Particularly Su Rhyme, whose mind had teetered on the brink of collapse under waves of self-blame and regret.

At present, Fang Hai was simply tasting the very anguish they had all borne during that time.

"How is it, how does it feel to have your limbs shattered?"

Raising his right foot, Lu Yuan crushed it down onto Fang Hai’s face with force, inquiring in a composed manner.

In reality, given his strength, dispatching Fang Hai into a bloody vapor would have been effortless in a heartbeat.

Nevertheless, he opted to inflict this savage punishment on Fang Hai in full view, aiming to shatter the terror and mental scars the Giant Whale Gang had inflicted upon the Cyan Cloud Sect disciples.

Toppling the bandit atop the hill proves simple, yet vanquishing the bandit within the soul demands true effort.

Over the preceding half year, Fang Hai had subjected the Cyan Cloud Sect disciples to endless cruelties, plunging them into absolute despondency.
