Ouyang Chu Ge stood in the darkness, scoffing at Karl's actions.
To use such a crude method, to try and force them out with such low means, was simply wishful thinking.
The people of the Five Immortal Mountains were not important to them, nor did they care whether they lived or died, let alone be threatened in such a humiliating manner.
It was completely useless to them. For them, it was just a good show.
After all, for the sake of their goals, demons could even betray their own kin, let alone others, and they wouldn't care one bit.
At this moment, even if Karl were to flay Zhang Cai Ning alive, it wouldn't make him flinch or show any emotion.
Su Xi, however, was not as calm as Ouyang Chu Ge. Instead, she appeared anxious.
Of course, she wasn't worried about Zhang Cai Ning being tormented by Karl, but rather about Karl potentially harming others if he couldn't lure her out this way.
She might not care about Zhang Cai Ning, but there might be others she cared about, so Karl absolutely could not be allowed to continue like this.
Karl, at this point, didn't care if Su Xi was watching. He continued to physically punish Zhang Cai Ning. The human body was constructed differently from that of demons, so the physical punishment felt more exhilarating to him.
Especially since Zhang Cai Ning was a skilled individual. Although she couldn't use her full strength, she could still cooperate in many difficult maneuvers.
The experience was incredibly satisfying.
"Ah~"
Accompanied by a low groan, Karl began to tremble.
Following Karl's low voice, Zhang Cai Ning was like a puddle of mud, completely devoid of strength, trembling on the ground, gasping for air.
A tear also slipped from the corner of her beautiful eyes.
Karl rubbed his body against Zhang Cai Ning, leaving more marks, then looked in Su Xi's direction and said, "It seems you don't care about women. Then I'll switch to a man for you to see."
With that, his subordinates pulled another man from the dungeon.
Looking at the man who appeared before her, Su Xi's brow twitched. She recognized him.
This man was none other than Tang Yi Feng, whom she had met several times before.
However, Tang Yi Feng now lacked his previous ethereal demeanor. His clothes were tattered, and his eyes were vacant.
Clearly, the experiences of the past few days had pushed him to the brink of collapse, and he had lost the will to live.
If not for the strong willpower of a sword cultivator supporting him, he would have long gone mad, and his Dao heart would have been damaged.
Looking at Tang Yi Feng before her, Su Xi knew she couldn't wait any longer.
All the people she was looking for were here. If Karl were to punish them one by one, she felt she could not accept it.
Even if she rescued them later, they would have lost their combat effectiveness. Defeating the demon race would then become extremely difficult.
Furthermore, if this continued, the "censorship gods" would surely appear and ban the entire book. Not only would the author lose income, but they would also be taken in for questioning. Her cultivation path might also be interrupted.
Therefore, for her own safety, Su Xi emerged from the darkness.
"Stop."
Her voice was not loud, but in the empty space, it was exceptionally piercing.
As soon as she spoke, Su Xi stepped out from her hiding place.
Seeing Su Xi appear, Karl chuckled and dropped Tang Yi Feng to the ground. After dealing with Zhang Cai Ning, he needed a break.
His gaze, sharp as a sword, fixed on Su Xi, and he said coldly, "I never expected it to be you."
"That's right, it's me." Su Xi didn't know if Karl recognized Peng Tu, but since she had already disguised herself as Peng Tu, she could only continue with the pretense. She was skilled at acting. Even if she didn't know Karl's background, she was confident she wouldn't slip up.
Hearing Su Xi's affirmative answer, Karl's expression turned even colder. "You, a mere human, are quite bold to come here alone to seek death."
"Huh?" Hearing Karl's words, Su Xi immediately denied it. "What are you talking about? I don't know."
She had used the supercomputer to perfectly synthesize Peng Tu, including Peng Tu's aura. No one else could possibly discover her. Therefore, she was certain that Karl was setting a trap, intending to force her to reveal her identity.
Karl, seeing Su Xi deny her human identity, didn't rush. Regardless of whether Su Xi admitted it or not, he wouldn't let her escape. The priority was to make Su Xi pay a price.
Su Xi had caused such a commotion in the demon gathering place of Tian Zhi Hen. If he could capture her, it would be a great achievement. When Tian Zhi Hen shattered and the demon army advanced, he would become the foremost contributor, with an immeasurable future. Therefore, without further ado, he extended his hand towards Su Xi, and a black light instantly erupted, ready to finish her quickly.
The black light instantly burst into a strong radiance, and then enveloped Su Xi. The black light was smooth like silk, sealing off all of Su Xi's escape routes.
Although Su Xi didn't know what this black light was, she knew that if she were entangled by it, it would be very troublesome. If the situation allowed, she absolutely couldn't refuse.
Thus, she took out her Meteor God Sword, intending to cleave through the silk-like substance before her.
However, every strike she made against the silk had no effect. Instead, her Meteor God Sword was covered with black particles that were constantly drilling into it.
"What the heck is this?" Looking at the substance before her, Su Xi frowned.
She could clearly feel the spirituality of her Meteor God Sword being lost, and its energy gradually disappearing, being easily devoured.
"Hahaha, let you taste the power of the Jialuo Space." Karl's face was full of smiles as he saw Su Xi fall into trouble.
What he had just unleashed was the most famous Jialuo Space of the demon race. Once it was unleashed, the surrounding space would fall into a strange magnetic field. In this magnetic field, everything would be devoured, leaving no possibility of survival. Moreover, the Jialuo Space would expand as it devoured the energy of its prey.
The method of cultivating Jialuo Space was common among demons, but very few people could successfully cultivate it. Many people couldn't even get started in their entire lives. This was because cultivating Jialuo Space heavily relied on the cultivator's talent, and even more so on their perseverance. After all, to cultivate Jialuo Space, one had to stand out from millions of people. Those who failed had become food within the Jialuo Space, with no chance of reincarnation. Fueled by the resentment of so many, the power of Jialuo Space was immense.
Su Xi hadn't expected Karl to have such a formidable ability. Trapped within the Jialuo Space, a series of question marks appeared on her forehead. What should her next step be to escape?
Ouyang Chu Ge, watching Su Xi being devoured by the Jialuo Space, immediately showed a hint of solemnity in his eyes. As a demon, he clearly understood the power of the demon's Jialuo Space. For so many years, he hadn't heard of anyone escaping from the Jialuo Space. However, he was even less inclined to believe that Su Xi was such a reckless person, to actively seek death when she knew there was danger ahead. Something must be amiss.
