749 Xiaoyu’er Is Not Dead, Beat Them Until They’re Convinced (2)
Zhou Shu didn’t immediately reveal his identity.
When he entered the Tang Shiyi dream, Zhou Shu had found out that the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven was stronger than he had imagined. He had to be on guard against Tang Wu’s special divine ability.
What if he could send messages outside?
Although the possibility of that was extremely low, getting Tang Wu to think that he had died at Tang Shiyi’s hands was also a form of revenge.
Tang Wu should feel even more aggrieved if he was killed by his trusted brother.
Zhou Shu’s heart ached when he thought of the little girl who had hugged his thigh and called him daddy.
Xiaoyu’er was just a child. How could Tang Wu bear to kill her?!
“Shiyi, I’ll say it again. Undo it!” Tang Wu berated loudly.
Pa!
Before he could finish, he froze. “How dare you hit me?”
Pa!
Another slap to the other side of his face.
Pa pa pa—
Zhou Shu waved his hand and slapped Tang Wu’s face over and over.
The slaps couldn’t hurt Tang Wu, but the humiliation stunned him.
“Remember, I’m the one asking questions,” Zhou Shu said coldly. “I’ll ask you a question. If you don’t answer, I’ll continue to beat you until you answer.
“Don’t expect anyone to save you. No one will come to this torture chamber without my summons.”
Tang Wu’s facial features were about to squeeze together. He was furious. Anger almost burned him. “Tang Shiyi! You bastard! I’m going to kill you!”
Pa!
Another slap sent Tang Shiyi flying.
“Don’t say anything unrelated, or I’ll still slap you,” Zhou Shu said coldly.
“You…” Tang Wu’s eyes widened. If looks could kill, Zhou Shu would have been killed countless times.
“Let me ask you again. Did you kill Zhou Shu’s daughter?” Zhou Shu said coldly, his eyes filled with killing intent.
“Tang Shiyi, are you crazy? Are you doing this to me just to ask that question?” Tang Wu struggled. “Yes, she wanted to escape. I killed her. Is there a problem? It was an order from the family head!”
Pa!
Another slap landed on Tang Wu’s face. The force of this slap was so great that his face was almost deformed.
Tang Wu was about to go crazy. He spat out a tooth and said angrily, “You hit me whether I speak or not. What exactly do you want?!”
“You can even kill a little girl. A beast like you shouldn’t live in this world!” Zhou Shu said coldly. He approached Tang Wu step by step and grabbed his neck from behind.
Tang Wu felt the force on his neck increase, and it became difficult for him to breathe.
At this moment, he finally realized that Tang Shiyi really wanted to kill him!
This was something he had never dreamed of happening. At this moment, he really panicked.
His eyes were full of fear.
“Tang Shiyi, if you dare to kill me, the family head will definitely not let you go. At that time, not only you, but your descendants will all die!” Tang Wu struggled. “Stop it. I can pretend that nothing has happened. I’ll forgive you!”
He didn’t want to die.
The grotto-heavens had just appeared in the world. There were still many things that Tang Wu had yet to do. How could he die in this small torture chamber at the hands of his brother?
Zhou Shu was expressionless, as if he hadn’t heard Tang Wu’s voice. The strength in his hand kept increasing, and he was about to break Tang Wu’s neck.
Zhou Shu frowned slightly and stopped what he was doing.
“She’s not dead?” Hope rose in Zhou Shu’s heart.
Tang Wu saw hope and said loudly, “Yes, she’s not dead! She’s really not dead!”
Although he didn’t know why Tang Shiyi wanted to kill him, his brother, for a little girl, Tang Wu was now certain that he cared about the little girl’s life.
Without waiting for Zhou Shu to ask, Tang Wu continued, “I did want to kill that little girl, but at the last moment, she suddenly erupted with strength and escaped.
“For the sake of my pride, I didn’t tell the truth. Actually, I really couldn’t kill her! In the end, she was saved by a divine weapon.”
Tang Wu’s face flushed red.
Afraid that Zhou Shu wouldn’t believe him, he struggled to explain, “If you don’t believe me, I can swear. I swear by the Great Dao that if I, Tang Wu, am lying, I will never have the chance to cultivate the Great Dao and live forever!”
Tang Wu’s words made Zhou Shu gradually restrain the killing intent in his eyes.
The biggest reason he wanted to start a massacre in the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven was because of Xiaoyu’er’s death.
Now that he heard that she might not be dead, the killing intent in his heart decreased by more than half.
But he didn’t believe Tang Wu completely.
“You said she was saved by a divine weapon. What does that divine weapon look like?” Zhou Shu asked coldly.
Xiaoyu’er had never used a divine weapon before. She was too young, and Zhou Shu had actually always overlooked this factor of her strength, so he had forgotten to equip her with a divine weapon.
“It’s a sword!” Tang Wu said without hesitation.
He was really afraid that Tang Shiyi would go crazy again. Even if he didn’t die, he couldn’t stand being slapped by him.
Tang Wu obediently described the appearance of the sword.
Zhou Shu frowned slightly. Why does it sound like the Longevity Sword?
Ever since the Longevity Sword flew away from Yuheng Valley, Zhou Shu had had no news of it.
When danger arrived, Shi Changsheng ran away shamelessly and disloyally.
Later, Zhou Shu had used Shi Changsheng’s identity to do a few major things in the Demon Realm. He had the intention to annoy Shi Changsheng.
If Shi Changsheng really saved Xiaoyu’er, then Zhou Shu owed him a favor.
“I’ll believe you for now and spare your life,” Zhou Shu said coldly.
Tang Wu heaved a long sigh of relief. “Shiyi, why are you making such a fuss over a little girl?
“If I had known that you liked her, I would have caught her for you.
“Let me go, and I won’t blame you for this misunderstanding. After all, everyone can be confused sometimes.”
Pa!
A slap landed on Tang Wu’s face, and the right side of his face swelled.
He looked incredulous. Why did you hit me again? This is too much!
Zhou Shu’s eyes were cold as he looked at Tang Wu. “If you dare to spout nonsense again, I will kill you.
“Remember, your life isn’t yours yet. You’d better keep your mouth shut when I don’t want you to talk.”
Zhou Shu picked up Tang Wu and threw him over to Tang Shiyi.
But Tang Wu didn’t know that it was Tang Shiyi. In his eyes, it was Zhou Shu, whom Tang Shiyi had tortured.
Zhou Shu sat down in the torture chamber with a thoughtful expression.
Xiaoyu’er wasn’t dead. This was great news.
But this didn’t mean that the matter between Zhou Shu and the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven had been resolved.
Since the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven had captured him for undeserved crimes, they might even capture the Ten Nations Alliance. Zhou Shu couldn’t tolerate this.
He had risked his life with the Ten Nations Alliance in the Demon Realm, but he was slandered by the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven for colluding with the Demon Realm. This was an insult to his comrades who had died fighting in the Demon Realm.
Moreover, why did the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven act so high and mighty and convict others as if they were the ruler of the world?
The Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven wasn’t the ruler of the human race. It was not their place to control Zhou Shu!
Originally, he was full of anger and wanted to start a massacre in the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. According to his original plan, anyone surnamed Tang deserved to die.
But if Xiaoyu’er wasn’t dead, there was no need to start a massacre.
It was easy to kill people, but if he really killed everyone from the Tang family of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven, he would really offend the grotto-heavens to death. The other grotto-heavens might not tolerate him.
Even if I don’t kill anyone, I will make the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven fear for their lives. I will make you know that I, Zhou Shu, am not a pushover. The Ten Nations are not pushovers either! It’s fine if the grotto-heavens appear, but if you want to act high and mighty and bully others, you’re dreaming!
I don’t care if the grotto-heavens appear. If you behave properly, everything will be fine. But if you want to lord it over, I’ll beat you until you know your place!
