During the Qin Dynasty, he was in charge of the net.

What will a once bloodthirsty monster become after shedding its folly?

Li Ji's water-shaped chains had all been removed, but Wu Nian did not immediately pounce on the group as before.

Wu Nian stood on the ground, his lifeless eyes blinking slowly. The numbness and turbidity of the past had dissipated, leaving only a bone-chilling coldness.

He no longer remembers the past.

He doesn't care what happens afterward.

But a familiar feeling reminded him that there were still unfinished things waiting for him.

It was a complex feeling of mixed hatred, resentment, and regret, which was difficult to discern without a clear thought.

But he knew that it was important to him.

Perhaps, killing can remind him of more.

Wu Nian lowered his head, his gaze falling on the heavy black iron chains scattered on the ground.

He leaned forward slightly, his five fingers clenched loosely, and the rusty black iron chain suddenly trembled, as if drawn by invisible true energy, and instantly rose into the air.

The chains moved like dragons and snakes, rapidly winding and twisting along his shoulders, neck, waist, and cuffs, disappearing completely into his sleeves and fabric.

It's hard to imagine that so many heavy chains could be concealed within a person's clothing without appearing cumbersome.

Then, Wu Nian's gaze fell on the group of hunters and Li Ji and others opposite him.

To everyone else, Wu Nian was expressionless, showing neither joy nor anger, with only a cold, crimson glint in his eyes.

next moment.

Wu Nian suddenly raised his arms, which had been hanging limply, and the black iron chains hidden in his clothes burst out!

A dozen or so black iron chains shattered the air with a loud crack, and the strong wind tore through the murky air of the stone prison. Each chain was like a peerless sharp blade.

Or they would launch a direct, sudden attack, their sharp edge aimed directly at the vital points of Li Ji and the others.

Or they intertwine and lock in a locked position, their force so strong that it can shatter rocks and split gold.

Or they could slash across and block the enemy, weaving layer upon layer into an impenetrable iron curtain.

His moves were well-organized and balanced, with both offense and defense, showing no trace of the previous wild and frenzied attacks.

Every move subtly reveals the exquisite killing skills of a top assassin.

Faced with such a fierce and ruthless attack, the hunters' expressions changed drastically, and some even took several steps back.

If Li Ji hadn't been there, those people would probably have already turned and fled.

Li Ji remained standing still as the iron curtain was unfurled.

Seeing Wu Nian unleash his full power, Li Ji's calm eyes completely lost their composure, and a strong interest emerged.

"It's finally looking decent."

He remembered that Wu Nian's dossier recorded that before he defected from Luo Wang, he was most skilled in the art of concealing a sword in his sleeve, to the point of being able to appear and disappear unpredictably.

Now, Wu Nian has replaced his longsword with a chain, which, while unchanged, has added a touch of ferocity.

After whispering, Li Ji raised his hand and waved it lightly.

With the true energy of the Netherworld at the Dragon Embryo realm moving at will, twenty extremely refined pale blue water blades rapidly formed around Li Ji's body.

Twenty water blades are enough to instantly kill any assassin below the Heavenly Rank candidate level in the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven).

Before being forced out of his brain by the long needle, Wu Nian could barely withstand three water blades.

These water blades, interwoven and varying in speed, accompanied by a sharp slicing sound as they cut through the air, shot towards the iron curtain on the other side at unparalleled speed from different angles and along different trajectories.

The pale blue water blades collided with the pitch-black iron chains, and a dense, ear-piercing clang of metal exploded out.

Dangdang Dangdang!

The collision of the water blade and the chain sparked bright yellow sparks, which flew out in layers, making the dim stone cell flicker between light and shadow.

When all the water blades exploded into mist, the chains that Wu Nian had previously cast also dissipated, and Wu Nian remained standing safely in place.

As Li Ji watched this scene, the interest in his eyes became completely serious, and his nonchalant aura faded away for the first time.

Since breaking through to the fifth stage of the Transformation of the Serpent into a Dragon Technique, he has always concealed his strength and rarely revealed his full power.

Even when he was in the main hall of the secret vault, he only revealed 70% of his strength to save Tian Yi from the attack by the vault guards, and that was only for a moment.

Today, in this stone prison, in order to subdue this humanoid killing machine that has broken free of its shackles and turn it into a weapon in his own hands, he finally stopped holding back.

Boom!

A vast, boundless, and unfathomable aura exploded from Li Ji's body.

The purest and most powerful Netherworld Qi surged forth like a river bursting its banks, instantly engulfing the entire dark stone prison centered on his body.

It lacked a violent and murderous aura, but carried a chill and pressure originating from the deep sea.

All the subordinates of the execution platform present suddenly stopped breathing, and their blood seemed to freeze instantly.

At this moment, they were no longer in the cramped black stone prison, but suddenly felt as if they had fallen into a bottomless, cold and dark abyss.

All around was stagnant water, without a ripple or a wave, yet it made one feel uneasy, as if one's internal organs were being turned upside down, and one felt nauseous.

Even more terrifying, they sensed that something enormous was about to awaken in the deepest part of the abyss.

If that colossal being were to fully awaken, they might all die.

They didn't know that the behemoth they thought was right in front of them was none other than their leader, Li Ji.

Their senses had been completely distorted; what was clearly close at hand seemed far away. They appeared to have truly fallen into a body of water, unable to perceive their surroundings.

In what they thought was the deepest part of the abyss, Li Ji's eyes gleamed with an eerie, dark blue light. His long, dark blue hair fluttered gently, and his figure was tall and slender. A deep, misty aura surrounded him, making him appear like a water demon lurking in the abyss.

Li Ji walked slowly, step by step, calmly and unhurriedly toward Wu Nian ahead.

At this moment, Wu Nian, like everyone else on the Dark Execution Platform, felt as if he were in a bottomless abyss.

The feeling of suffocation after falling into water is not the most unpleasant part.

The most painful thing is the despair of struggling desperately but to no avail.

Wu Nian held his head in his hands, his knuckles digging deeply into his tangled hair. His body trembled uncontrollably, and a booming sound seemed to surge in his ears.

The immense water pressure threw Wu Nian's mind into turmoil, making it difficult for him to control himself.

Why are there all sorts of voices in his ears?

Whose voices are those?

Does he know them?

"Stop arguing...stop arguing..."

kill!

kill!

kill!"

Wu Nian let out a series of roars that were inaudible to others.

next moment.

The black iron chains inside the Wunian Robe shot out in all directions, without any target, indiscriminately shooting towards friend or foe.

Li Ji was the first to be affected.

However, the iron chain, powerful enough to shatter hard rock, pierced through his body, like a hammer blow into a deep, unpredictable pool of water, leaving no trace and gradually losing its force.

Looking at Wu Nian's appearance, Li Ji said calmly, "You seem to be in a lot of pain."

Wu Nian heard the voice clearly.

In his mindless perception, a sound seemed to come from the deepest part of the water, rippling and reaching his ears.

As if grasping at a straw, Wu Nian spoke slowly and deliberately, each word distinct in his hoarse voice:

"There are so many voices around me, they're driving me crazy... I'm trying my best... but I still can't kill them..."

From the deepest part of the abyss came a voice:

"Since you are troubled, give me your heart, and I will give you a second heart."

Upon hearing this, Wu Nian's body trembled violently, and then he asked in a hoarse voice:

"How...can I...give you my heart..."

A voice echoed from the bottom of the abyss:

"Drink the water from this body of water, let it devour your original heart, and make it your second heart."
