Douluo 2: This Dragon God has too much martial virtue

Chapter 539 Circumstances of Torture
"Stop!" A hysterical roar drew everyone's attention. Dai Huabin's pupils contracted sharply, his gaze fixed on the spreading mass of flesh and blood beneath the rack. The indistinct pieces of flesh were still twitching slightly, but what horrified him even more was that his father's severed limbs were visibly regrowing.

"This is impossible..." Dai Huabin's voice was so hoarse it was almost inhuman, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down with difficulty. As the next blade struck, the newly formed organs between Dai Hao's legs tore open again, and blood gushed out, splattering onto the ground.

Dai Hao let out another inhuman howl. Dai Huabin, staring at his father's convulsing body, suddenly began to gag violently. Only now did he truly understand what it meant to be unable to live and unable to die.

Dai Huabin's eyes were bloodshot, and his face was contorted as he roared, "Huo Yuhao, you bastard! Mother shouldn't have let you live!" His voice was distorted by extreme fear and anger, "My biggest regret is that I didn't kill you and that vile woman back then!"

A deathly silence fell over the surroundings, and even the healing energy beneath Dai Hao abruptly stopped.

Huo Yuhao's expression was terrifyingly calm. He slowly squatted down and grabbed Dai Huabin by the throat.

“See, Mom,” his voice was as soft as falling snowflakes, “forgiveness depends on the person.”

“Since the sisters of the Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Group are all busy,” Huo Yuhao slowly flexed his fingers, condensing icy blue soul power in his palm, “then I’ll take care of this.”

As he was being tormented by excruciating pain, Dai Hao's pupils suddenly contracted. He struggled to speak, but the Fire Phoenix Douluo, who was supervising the work, stepped on his wound. He could only curl up and watch helplessly as Huo Yuhao picked up Dai Huabin and shook him like a toy.

"Let's start with something simple." Huo Yuhao gently gathered his five fingers, and countless extremely cold streams, invisible to the naked eye, condensed out of thin air, turning into millions of ice needles that instantly pierced through the pores of Dai Huabin's body.

"laugh--"

The faint sound of ice crystals condensing echoed rapidly within Dai Huabin's body. His body suddenly stiffened, and blood streaked with ice crystals seeped from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. The crisscrossing network of meridians within his body was being precisely frozen, shattered, and then frozen again by the extreme cold soul power, a recurring torture playing out on a microscopic level.

"I heard your talent is even stronger than the first generation White Tiger Douluo?" Huo Yuhao's voice sounded as if it were covered in ice.

Beneath Dai Huabin's skin, bluish meridians bulged, shattering like glass tubes broken by frost. He could clearly feel his soul power surging wildly within his fragmented meridians, tearing at his mangled body like a burst dam. His cultivation level collapsed from Soul Emperor all the way down, until even the most basic sense of soul power vanished completely. Even more terrifying, the broken meridians curled up like withered tree roots, completely blocking the flow of qi and blood.

"Ugh!" Dai Huabin collapsed to the ground, convulsing. He tried desperately to raise his hand, but found that he couldn't even bend his fingers. The claws that could once tear apart soul beasts were now weaker than a kitten's claws.

Seeing Dai Huabin crippled, Dai Hao let out a beastly growl. The shackles clanked as he struggled frantically, his wrists grinding raw and bloody: "I, Dai Hao, have spent half my life on the battlefield, and I believe I have not failed my country! You can hate me if you want, but your mother has only herself to blame!" His bloodshot eyes almost bulged out of their sockets. "If it weren't for her relying on our childhood friendship, always putting on airs as the mistress of the house, in front of the Madam... uh!"

Dai Hao's neck suddenly caved in strangely, as if a giant, transparent clamp had gripped his throat, severing all the vicious slander within his trachea. His bulging Adam's apple churned violently under the invisible pressure, veins bulged on his purplish cheeks, and blood foam spilling from the corner of his mouth froze into ice beads on the chains.

"You think I'd believe you? You've been spreading rumors about my mother for five years!" Huo Yuhao's voice was icy, the air distorted by his killing intent. The oppressive atmosphere eased slightly, and Dai Hao coughed up a mouthful of blood. "She doesn't know the rules. She's just a maid. She thinks she can rise to the top just because she got pregnant with her master's child. If she had just stayed put as an object..." Before he could finish speaking, the water elements in the air condensed into an ice chain, tightening suddenly, the sound of shoulder blades shattering was sickening.

Orange gracefully held a bone china teacup, leisurely watching the spectacle unfold amidst the swirling aroma of tea. She even had her subordinates serve drinks to Mu Xing and Fu Rui, practically munching on sunflower seeds right in front of Dai Hao. Electrolux, however, declined her offer of respect, for the undead need not feel the warmth of the living.

Dai Hao's shoulder blades creaked under the pressure of the ice chains. He suddenly looked up: "You should hate me. I am inferior in skill, and it is my own fault. But you should not have colluded with that evil dragon from four thousand years ago! You should not have helped the Sun Moon Empire slaughter your compatriots! Look into your eyes, the blood of the God of War flows in your veins!"

"Pfft!" A wicked dragon? You dare curse again?!

Two dark golden claws pierced into his eye sockets without warning, and Dai Hao's body instantly arched backward. When Huo Yuhao withdrew his hand, the claw tips were hooked with two blood-red beads connected to nerves.

"Oh, I almost forgot about that." Huo Yuhao's fingers gently closed. "Who wants to be like you?"

Lying paralyzed in a pool of blood, Dai Huabin suddenly convulsed violently. In his bloodshot vision, a mixture of ice shards and blood was gushing from his father's empty eye sockets.

"Clang."

Frozen eyeballs were casually tossed to the side of Dai Huabin's face. Huo Yuhao flicked the bloody ice shards from his claws, and Dai Huabin's gaze met one of the frozen eyeballs. His own face, distorted with fear, was reflected in the solidified pupil.

Mu Xing's pure white eyelashes suddenly lifted, her gaze piercing through the void and landing on a certain spot beside Huo Yuhao. She sensed the resentment and hatred directed at her, which was like a poisonous vine coiling around her, but the corner of her lips curled into a mischievous smile.

“It’s my fault, I corrupted her child.” She suddenly murmured out of the blue, her bright golden pupils rippling with innocent emotion. “But I only gave him the power of revenge; I didn’t teach him the methods of execution.”

Putting aside the fighting in battle, she truly had no interest in tormenting her enemies, nor did she intend to destroy their spirit; it was simply that their mental fortitude was too weak. Even with her number one enemy, Tang San, she only wanted to kill him as quickly as possible. If Wang Dong could perish together with Tang San, it would be even better.

"However, I am quite satisfied with this performance." Huo Yuhao's behavior, disregarding Huo Yun'er's wishes, greatly pleased Mu Xing. The efforts of the past few years had not been in vain. The scales in this child's heart were clearly tipped in her favor. Who doesn't like to be favored? Although she didn't compete with a mother for her child's hobby, this was something she had picked up.

After all, the flower language associated with stray cats is "first come, first served."
