Chapter 966: A Miserable State

Outside…

"My god… who is this person? What kind of methods are these!"

"Cruel, this is far too cruel… look at Yang Mu, there's not a single patch of uninjured flesh left on him from his own scratching…"

"What kind of method is this… this person is too vicious!!!"

"He must not be provoked; he is the true Terror…"

"…"

Everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but gasp.

By now, Yang Mu had scratched himself beyond recognition.

That kind of trembling originating from the Primordial Spirit was not something an ordinary person could experience.

He had already cowered!

He had completely given in!

If this continued, it would be a torture worse than death!

He might as well just forfeit!

Was he kidding? Not forfeiting was just asking for death, wasn't it?

"I forf—" Yang Mu spoke; he was going to give up.

As long as he said he forfeited, he would be teleported away.

This was also a protective measure for the soldiers who entered the Secret Realm.

But…

"Bang!"

Xiao Fan instinctively acted, breaking Yang Mu's neck and preventing him from shouting the last word.

"This…"

Jian Wuyou and the others were shocked. Was this even allowed?

They had never seen Xiao Fan use such a method before.

This was the first time they had witnessed it.

In the past, Secret Realms would periodically open within the Nantian Gate, allowing teams from various camps to enter and compete.

But back then, no one would ever use such a method to prevent someone from forfeiting.

After all, there were countless eyes watching from outside, and even the City Lord was present…

Using such tactics would surely leave a bad impression on the City Lord.

Even if someone had thought of it before, no one had ever actually done it…

Yet now…

Yang Mu panicked… He looked at Xiao Fan in a state of frantic terror.

This guy.

He actually broke his neck.

Xiao Fan knew that this guy was scared…

Otherwise, given this person's character, it would be impossible for him to be like this!

"I will ask, and you will reply to me via Divine Soul Transmission… Any problems?" Xiao Fan said indifferently.

Yang Mu gritted his teeth; he wanted to continue being stubborn.

But he noticed the playful expression on Wei Zhongshan's face, as if he were saying: "Refuse… go ahead and refuse. Only if you refuse can I enjoy myself even more!!!"

"I agree…" Yang Mu transmitted via his Divine Soul; he had yielded.

Facing such methods, did he have any other choice but to yield?

"Why were you acting alone?"

This was Xiao Fan's first question.

"The captain's orders… he had us split up to eliminate people from various teams… Of course, that means eliminating weak teams. If we encounter a team we can't defeat, we're to ignore them…" Yang Mu replied via transmission.

Xiao Fan nodded…

"Is everyone in your team scattered?"

"No… there are two people with the captain; they didn't separate," Yang Mu informed him via transmission.

He had yielded; whatever Xiao Fan asked, he answered directly…

This Terror was not to be provoked; he only wanted to leave this place now.

Before, he could still be a bit tough, thinking that if things went south, he would just forfeit.

But then…

His throat was broken, and he couldn't even forfeit if he wanted to!

"Is there any inside information about this Secret Realm?" Xiao Fan asked once more.

"Inside information…" Jian Wuyou and the others were taken aback.

Xiao Fan's question to Yang Mu wasn't transmitted via Divine Soul, so they all heard it clearly.

Yang Mu thought for a moment and still chose to transmit: "I'm not clear on the specifics… only the captain knows those. But as for the Opportunity at the end of the Secret Realm… it's said to contain the creation that seizes the heavens and earth. If one grasps it, they could even change their destiny in a Heaven-Defying manner…"

"A Heaven-Defying change of destiny…"

Xiao Fan pondered for a moment and nodded; this was consistent with his guesses.

"What is Chen Ling's strength?" Xiao Fan asked.

In the Secret Realm, the fact that someone's strength suppressed his own made him feel uneasy.

"Uh… his Realm is at the Great Perfection of the Yuding Realm. As for his strength, it's roughly at the second level of the Jiesheng Realm…" Yang Mu answered honestly.

Xiao Fan nodded; getting the latest information from the opponent's subordinate was what mattered.

If Chen Ling had suddenly become stronger…

…it would be very dangerous for his group when they met.

Especially now, after he had beaten the other's subordinate into such a state.

"My lord… I've told you everything… Can you let me leave now?" Yang Mu transmitted.

He was still thinking about leaving…

Xiao Fan shook his head: "No. Once your throat is healed, then you can forfeit…"

After speaking, Xiao Fan took out a Medicinal Pill and gave it to Yang Mu to consume.

His throat was instantly able to produce sound again.

"I forf—"

But at that moment, Xiao Fan suddenly acted again.

However, he didn't injure Yang Mu this time!

Instead, he took away his Storage Pouch.

Yang Mu: "???"

He hadn't finished shouting his last word and just stared blankly at Xiao Fan.

Robbery?!

Was he kidding? Was he crazy?

They were all guards of the Nantian Gate.

And there was a crowd outside, with the City Lord himself watching!

You're robbing me so openly?

"Are you forfeiting or not? If you don't forfeit, then stay here," Xiao Fan said indifferently.
