Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups Chapter 950 - 477_3

"Zzz—la—"

A piercing noise instantly exploded in the cave.

It wasn’t an explosion; it was the sound like thousands of branding irons scorching the flesh simultaneously.

The moment quicklime met the blood, a violent exothermic reaction occurred.

In just one second, the whole "Myriad Soul Mother Gu Pool" boiled vigorously as if drenched in hot oil.

The strongly alkaline substance frantically eroded the organic matter in the blood.

The temperature instantly soared to hundreds of degrees Celsius.

Pungent white steam, mixed with the smell of blood and lime, surged into the sky with a "whoosh."

Xuan Zhen’s human face twisted madly within the boiling, churning plasma, letting out wails that were almost inhuman.

"Ahhhh—"

Originally viscous blood, under the dual effect of high temperatures and strong alkali, rapidly coagulated and altered.

The proteins in the plasma were coagulated into lumps by the heat, with the bright red color gradually turning scorched black and grayish-white.

The entire pool of blood was being cooked alive into a puddle of hideous solid matter.

"No! Ye Zhiran! You cannot kill me!"

Xuan Zhen finally utterly collapsed, screaming hoarsely with all his might:

"I know the whereabouts of all the traitors, I can tell you where they’re hiding!"

"I also know the secret base of Ideal Land, and the true identity of that lord!"

"Please, spare me, what happened back then was all that lord’s orders, I was coerced..."

"Moreover, I can redeem myself, I can help you deal with the organization, as long as you spare me..."

Ye Zhiran remained completely deaf to it.

He merely calmly observed the Blood Pool, suppressing the target with spiritual power to prevent the enemy from escaping.

Then, bag after bag of quicklime was poured down.

With each bag poured, the Blood Pool boiled more fiercely, and Xuan Zhen’s screams grew more and more shrill.

"Ye Zhiran, I curse you—curse you to die a horrible death—"

Xuan Zhen’s final voice turned from begging to vicious cursing.

But soon, even the cursing vanished.

His remnant soul-dependent Mother Gu was scalded, boiled alive, under dual physical and spiritual attacks, finally completely obliterated.

Ye Zhiran expressionlessly finished pouring the last bag of lime.

The entire Blood Pool had completely solidified into a puddle of grayish-white solid, with no sound emanating anymore.

He stood up, dusted off the powder on his hands, and said blandly:

"The first ledger from seventeen years ago is finally settled."

He then turned around, walked off the altar.

Li Dingjian had long set all explosives around the altar, upon seeing him approach, made an OK gesture.

Ye Zhiran nodded, the two briskly moved to the safety position at the cave entrance.

Li Dingjian then took out a remote detonator from his arms, glanced at the bone altar, and pressed the button without hesitation.

Boom—

A deafening explosion instantly erupted in the cave.

The power of the high-energy explosives completely overturned the entire bone altar along with the solidified Blood Pool, blasting into countless fragments.

Even the cave ceiling was affected, stones fell like raindrops, almost burying the villagers’ corpses sacrificed in the blood rite.

As the permeating dust cleared, the original site of the altar had become flat ground, leaving only a scorched black ruin.

"It’s finally over, part of brother-in-law’s revenge is finally avenged."

Li Dingjian wiped the ash off his face, murmured.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he turned to see Ye Zhiran squatting on the ground, staring at the villagers’ corpses in a trance.

With flickering gaze, seemingly searching for some traces.

"Professor, what’s wrong?"

Li Dingjian quickly asked, "Are you worried Xuan Zhen might resurrect within those controlled villagers’ bodies?"

Ye Zhiran adjusted his glasses, slightly shook his head:

"Now, even if he could possess using the previously planted Child Gu, he’s just a remnant soul, at most affecting the host’s consciousness, not much stronger than ordinary people, can’t stir much trouble."

He stood up, his eyes sweeping across the dead bodies, brows slightly furrowed:

"What I’m worried about is, will that man show up early because of Xuan Zhen’s death."

"You’re saying... the leader of Ideal Land?"

Li Dingjian’s face turned stern, his hand unconsciously reached for the gun at his waist:

"If that guy really comes, with the little skill we have..."

Ye Zhiran didn’t respond, suddenly looked towards the depths of the cave, his voice sinking a few notches:

"There are other possibilities, Xuan Zhen’s Spiritual Secret Realm is still intact, his remnant soul hasn’t dispersed, and has gone to Cui City Chen Family..."

"Or perhaps, that man’s mark is on Chen Hongye’s flesh, thus appearing over there..."

Li Dingjian, hearing this, was instantly dumbfounded.
