Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#227 - Pulse cutting hand

Following the previously dug tunnel, Liang Yue crossed over a mountain in a short while and arrived at the entrance to the Ming Cult's forbidden area.

However, he didn't show himself at this time, but continued to wait idly in the tunnel, observing the situation outside through a secret gap that had been dug in advance.

Sure enough, before he could even finish eating an apple, a monk with a bald head and a face scarf suddenly flew over.

He looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that there was no one around, he quickly walked into the forbidden area.

Needless to say, this great monk was exactly Master Cheng Kun, who Liang Yue had been following all the way to the foot of Bright Peak.

According to the development of the plot, this man, who has now transformed into Yuan Zhen of Shaolin, enduring humiliation and painstakingly planning a scheme to kill with a borrowed knife for more than 20 years, is about to unfold his plan at this time.

Unfortunately, according to the director's script, this Master Cheng only had time to stand in front of Yang Dingtian's skeleton and curse a few words.

Before he could enjoy it, Zhang Wuji and Xiao Zhao, who arrived later, stumbled upon his whereabouts.

Then, this once-powerful veteran expert and conspirator, Mr. Cheng Kun, the Mixed Yuan Thunderbolt Hand, was punched into the wall by the newly-promoted young talent Zhang Wuji in front of him after only one encounter...

In the end, he could only resort to cheating and scheming to escape from their hands.

He viciously activated the mechanism, wanting to trap, or even trap to death, the young couple, but instead, it prompted Zhang Wuji to learn the Ming Cult's highest secret skill, the "Great Shift of the Universe"...

And Liang Yue's plan at this time was to capture this tragic Master Cheng when he escaped from the forbidden area tunnel and give him a double dose of tragedy~

...

"Don't run~!"

Under the familiar guidance of the maid Xiao Zhao, they quickly burrowed into a cave and disappeared into the depths of the tunnel.

However, the pursuers below did not dare to enter the forbidden area at this time.

Because according to the rules of the Ming Cult, only the leader is qualified to enter it, and the past leaders of the Ming Cult would enter it themselves to be buried before their death.

If the leader died outside, those who were selected to carry the leader into the forbidden area would even have to commit suicide and be buried with him.

So after hesitating for a while, the Ming Cult's pursuers slowly retreated on the grounds that the inside was full of traps, just enough for the young couple to be buried with the past leaders.

Liang Yue smiled slightly when he saw this from the side, but he didn't mean to ridicule the Ming Cult members for being timid, after all, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is human nature.

If there is a chance to choose, who would be willing to be buried with others for no reason~

"Huff~ Huff~ Huff..."

Just at this moment, a burst of rapid breathing suddenly came from the secret passage of the forbidden area.

Liang Yue immediately turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw a bald figure walking towards the outside in a hurry in the depths of the tunnel, illuminated by the fire on both sides.

He looked unsteady on his feet, and from time to time he would let out a few painful groans, obviously suffering from serious injuries.

"I'm going~ He's already defeated? I really despise you, you've been lurking in Shaolin for more than 20 years, you've lived like a dog~!"

Watching the figure approaching, constantly spitting out blood, Liang Yue slightly curled his lips, flipped his sleeves, and the small iron pickaxe was immediately in his hand.

Bang bang bang bang~

After a burst of waving, his whole person instantly stood in the entrance of the tunnel.

"Who are you! ?"

Cheng Kun seemed very alert at this time. He had just been seriously injured by a junior and fled in embarrassment. He never thought that he would be blocked by another young man now.

At this time, his mood was extremely aggrieved.

So, almost the moment he saw Liang Yue appear, this Master Cheng secretly took out a pair of flying needle hidden weapons.

Seeing the other party's appearance of not saying a word, but slowly walking towards him, a fierce look flashed across his old face.

"Looking for death!"

With a whoosh, the flying needles shot out instantly!

But then, the figure of Liang Yue on the opposite side suddenly blurred and disappeared without a trace.

Cheng Kun's face changed drastically when he saw this, but just as he was about to take action, a burst of inexplicable pain and weakness suddenly came from his body.

Then he groaned and fell softly to the ground~

But this Master Cheng was obviously still unwilling. Even though he was seriously injured and restrained at this time, he still tried his best to open his eyes wide and stared at Liang Yue.

"Stop struggling, even if you use your internal strength to clear your whole body after being hit by my Meridian Severing Hand, it won't be of any use."

Saying that, Liang Yue easily picked up Cheng Kun in his hand, humming a little tune all the way, and returned to his previous cave.

The Meridian Severing Hand is a secret technique from the ancient martial arts inheritance "Great Chui Fist". It is roughly similar to the acupoint technique in the martial arts world. It is a means to restrain and prohibit the target's actions.

However, compared to the acupoint technique, the principle of this Meridian Severing Hand is even more cruel. Once the attack is too heavy, it will directly injure and disable people, and even kill the target.

Coupled with the use of martial arts true energy, the effect is simply outstanding!

However, Liang Yue's purpose in capturing Cheng Kun at this time was not to kill the other party, so he was very careful when attacking.

With a soft "bang~", a light sound was heard.

Guang Toucheng was casually tossed onto the ground by him. Amidst a cloud of dust, a cold glint flashed through the cave.

With a "clang" of metal scraping against metal.

A long sword was deeply embedded into the ground just in front of Cheng Kun's face.

"Master Cheng, let's keep it short. I ask, you answer. Cooperate, and I'll give you a quick death. How does that sound?"

Liang Yue squatted on a wooden block, looking at Cheng Kun, who was lying on his side on the ground, planning to use the same interrogation techniques he had used on Yang Buhui before.

But this time, on the face of this seasoned veteran, he saw a deep sense of mockery.

Thinking about it, it made sense. After all, this man had been through many Jianghu battles. Ever since his junior sister died tragically more than twenty years ago, he had vowed to overthrow the number one sect in the world.

It could be said that in Cheng Kun's heart at this moment, only hatred remained. He was extremely persistent about it and was willing to bear the traitor's label, colluding with the imperial court.

How could such a person be intimidated by Liang Yue's little tricks?

However, a person's temperament and purpose, in the final analysis, are not really that related to their mental willpower.

Just imagine, a person as cunning as a fox, who has spent more than twenty years planning a revenge scheme that is about to be implemented.

After it's all over, he still delusionally wants to become the Guardian Dharma of the Great Yuan Dynasty, wanting to plunge headfirst into the circle of the wealthy and powerful. How firm can his will really be?

After seeing his appearance, Liang Yue wasn't surprised at all.

Moreover, coming from modern society, he already knew that the human body's pain tolerance actually has a limit. Even someone like Cheng Kun, who seemed to have deep emotional scars, could not escape the constraints of mortal sensations.

"Alright, I didn't want to make things difficult for Master Cheng, but since you're not cooperating, don't blame me for being ruthless later."

As he spoke, Liang Yue suddenly flipped his sleeve and, with a half-smile, once again took out his professional pedicure tools in front of the interrogation subject, then gently spread them out to the left and right.

Under the flickering firelight, that row of neatly arranged metal instruments was still shining brightly, reflecting a cold glint.

Cheng Kun, who was originally lying on the ground, instantly froze when he saw this pile of exquisite objects.

He subconsciously swallowed, and even his breathing began to quicken.

"Heh heh heh heh~ Don't be anxious, Master Cheng. You must be very curious now about what these tools are for, right?"

"Hehe~ I'll use them on you one by one later, so you can experience it for yourself."

As he said this, Liang Yue reached out and grabbed one of Cheng Kun's feet.

Removing the shoe, taking off the sock~

Immediately, a strong stench wafted over, spreading throughout the sealed secret chamber.

Unfortunately, Liang Yue smelled a little bit of it thanks to his keen sense of smell.

The corner of his mouth twitched, and after secretly opening several miniature spatial passages to the lavender flower sea, he put on a serious face and took out a sharp knife from the box.

He gestured with the knife on Cheng Kun's calloused foot and continued, saying.

"It is said that the ten fingers are connected to the heart. Even if ordinary people accidentally hurt themselves, they will feel piercing pain. Actually, I've always been very curious.

That is~ if the wound appears on the toe, will it also cause piercing pain?"

As he spoke, Liang Yue, with an inquisitive look, pointed the sharp knife in his hand at the gap of the other party's big toenail, and under the other party's gaze, slowly, little by little, extended it over.

Although the blade of the knife had not yet hurt the other party, invisibly, sweat had already begun to drip from Master Cheng's forehead, his old face flushed red.

He wanted to try his best to withdraw his foot, but he was always unable to do so, unable to move at all.

Therefore, at the moment when Liang Yue's blade touched the other party's toe, Cheng Kun, unwilling to be suffocated to death like this, decisively caved in~

"Wait a minute! This young hero, we have no old grudges or recent animosities, why must you make things difficult for an old monk like me?"

"No need to beat around the bush. Since you've fallen into my hands, just consider yourself~ unlucky~"

"... Alright, then ask whatever you want, I will definitely tell you everything I know. However, I must say in advance that after answering your questions, please spare my life."

"Heh heh heh heh~"

"..."

"Oh? You want to play for time with me? It doesn't matter, I have plenty of time to spend with you."

After speaking, Liang Yue once again flipped his sleeve and took out a thick bamboo tube from the stronghold world, and then began to shave the bamboo.

"This, young hero, what are you doing shaving bamboo for? Also, where did you get this bamboo?"

"You don't need to know where the bamboo came from. As for shaving bamboo, it's to make bamboo skewers. I heard that in the imperial prison, there is such a punishment.

That is, using sharp bamboo skewers to insert into the hands of the trainee. As long as they are not pulled out, people can always experience piercing pain, which is generally unbearable.

However, I think Master Cheng is definitely not an ordinary person, so I want to prepare a little more for you."

"... Young hero, ask away, I will definitely tell you everything I know, but you must agree to let me live after I answer your questions."

"Heh heh heh heh~"
