Chapter 99.2 : Counterkill! Breaking Zhou Sheng’s Arms and Legs! (Part 2)
"What's going on!?"
Liu Ruyin immediately turned her head—only to see Tang Qingmo pressing his leather shoe down on Zhou Sheng's lower leg. A crimson stream of energy flowed from the sole of his shoe, and then—
Crack!
Zhou Sheng's leg bone was crushed underfoot!
"AAAAHHHH!!!"
The intense pain made Zhou Sheng break down in tears. His face was still swollen red from the beating earlier, and mucus and tears streamed uncontrollably down his face, filthy and miserable.
But he no longer cared about that. Gone was the arrogance he had just moments ago—Zhou Sheng lay sprawled on the ground, reaching out toward Tang Qingmo, begging pitifully.
"N-no… stop… it hurts… it hurts so bad…"
"Tang Qingmo! Let go of my brother right now!!"
Zhou Ting, who had been slapped earlier, leapt up in agitation and rushed toward Tang Qingmo, trying to save Zhou Sheng.
Smack—!!
"Ah!!"
The moment she stood up, Tang Qingmo backhanded her across the other side of her face, leaving perfectly symmetrical slap marks.
"Don't… don't hurt Xiao Ting…"
Seeing his sister knocked aside, Zhou Sheng desperately tried to grab Tang Qingmo's ankle—
But his hand was stomped down mercilessly!
"Ughh!!"
"What? Begging only now?"
Looking at the Zhou siblings' wretched state, Tang Qingmo sneered.
"Weren't you two pretty impressive just now? Didn't you tell those people to break my arms and legs?"
"And yet now, the one with broken limbs is you~"
As he spoke, he stomped down viciously on Zhou Sheng's already fractured and swollen shin again, the sound of bones and ligaments tearing ringing out!
"AAAHH!! No!!"
Tang Qingmo showed no mercy despite the screams. He channeled qi and blood into his leg once more—and crushed the bones in Zhou Sheng's hand!
"AAAAHHHH!!!"
They said a man wouldn't shed tears lightly—but the fingers were connected directly to the heart. Tang Qingmo crushed five fingers in one go, the pain so unbearable that Zhou Sheng completely broke down, tears pouring out endlessly.
"Pull yourself together, Young Master Zhou."
Tang Qingmo nudged Zhou Sheng's filthy face with the tip of his shoe.
"You were the one who wanted to teach me a lesson. How can you collapse so fast when it's your turn?"
"N-no… no…"
With his leg and hand ruined by Tang Qingmo, Zhou Sheng was filled with agony and regret.
If he'd known this would happen, he never would've gotten involved with Liu Ruyin and the others!
Meanwhile, Zhou Ting had been knocked to the ground. She tried to secretly crawl away to escape and find help—
But Tang Qingmo grabbed her by the hair and slapped her across the face again.
Smack—!
"Ah!!"
Smack! Smack—!!
"AAAH!!"
Several sharp slaps landed on Zhou Ting's face, swelling it even further.
"N-no… no…!"
After being slapped repeatedly, Zhou Ting finally realized she couldn't escape Tang Qingmo's clutches. Desperate, she turned her gaze toward Liu Ruyin and Tang Xianxi.
"R-Ruyin… Xianxi… save me…!"
Liu Ruyin & Tang Xianxi: !!?
She shouldn't have said anything.
The moment their names left her mouth, Tang Qingmo threw her to the ground and slowly turned his head.
With blood-red pupils and a stiff, chilling smile—like a predator locking onto its prey—Tang Qingmo stepped toward them, one slow step at a time.
"You two are really loyal."
"You didn't even try to run."
"Though it wouldn't have mattered anyway~ I wasn't going to let you escape."
"..."
It wasn't that they didn't want to run.
They were simply so terrified by Tang Qingmo's brutality that their legs had gone weak.
[Liu Ruyin – Regret Value +200!]
[Tang Xianxi – Regret Value +200!]
...
Still, Liu Ruyin clenched her teeth and forced herself to speak through the fear.
"T-Tang Qingmo… if you dare do anything to me…"
"I'll tell my father! He'll never let you get away with this!"
Tang Qingmo looked genuinely surprised when he heard that. Then, in the blink of an eye, he appeared right in front of Liu Ruyin.
"What did you say?"
"The Liu family head won't let me off?"
"Ahh!!"
Startled by his sudden appearance, Liu Ruyin nearly fell backward.
But in the next second, Tang Qingmo's palm came down.
Smack—!!
The powerful slap sent Liu Ruyin crashing to the ground.
"Ahh?!"
Tang Qingmo smiled brilliantly.
"Since you put it that way…"
"Then let me give it a try~"
"And see just how he won't let me off."
