376: Chapter 376: Anger

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was filled with doubt.

"Husband," this strange term, was something they were hearing for the first time in their lives.

However, it was certain that it was this "husband" who had been supporting the woman in the pink dress, allowing her to endure for five long years in this cold and poisonous mine.

"What are you lowly slaves doing? Who told you that you could rest and chat? Get back to mining for me right now!"

Suddenly, a furious roar echoed throughout the mine shaft.

Everyone trembled and turned around to see a tall, obese man in black walking toward them with a grim expression.

As he walked, a spiritual light flickered in his right hand, and a blood-red steel whip covered in barbs appeared, emitting a soul-shaking Death Qi.

Everyone was instantly filled with terror; they hurriedly gripped their pickaxes and used every ounce of strength they had to desperately hack at the ore.

Seeing this, a cruel and satisfied smile appeared on the face of the man in black.

He thoroughly enjoyed the pleasure of controlling the lives and deaths of others and wantonly trampling on the weak; it felt like being the Heavenly Dao itself!

As the crowd dispersed to work, the man in black saw the woman in the pink dress lying on the muddy ground.

He instantly flew into a rage.

In this place, someone actually dared not to fear his oppressive presence!

"You lowly slave, who gave you permission to lie on the ground and rest?!"

As he spoke, he suddenly raised the blood-red steel whip, covered in sharp barbs, and lashed it down with a whistle—

Crack!

With a crisp crack, the steel whip lashed heavily against the back of the woman in the pink dress. The barbs instantly pierced through her clothes and hooked into her flesh before being violently yanked back!

Rip!

Her clothes tore, and a large patch of tender white skin and flesh was ripped away!

In an instant, bright red blood surged out.

The woman's thin body trembled violently. Heart-wrenching pain flooded her entire body like a tide, and her vision began to darken.

Already at the end of her rope, she didn't even have the strength to scream; she simply blacked out from the intense pain.

"Did I tell you that you could rest, you slave!?"

As he spoke, he quickly lashed down twice more against the woman's back. In an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere, creating a gruesome sight.

The surrounding mine slaves were all breaking out in cold sweat. Facing this manager with a Golden Immortal Early Stage cultivation, they didn't dare harbor any thoughts of rebellion.

Instead, they accelerated their mining, fearing they would be targeted if they were too slow.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The fierce-looking man in black lashed out five more times, savagely whipping the woman in the pink dress. Her thin, frail back, torn by the whip's barbs, was already a mangled mess of flesh and blood with no part left intact; even her white bones were clearly visible!

He had no intention of stopping; instead, he grew more excited as he whipped her, and the speed of his lashes suddenly increased several times over!

A mere lowly mine slave was no different from an ant; if she died, she died.

At the same time.

High in the sky above the Tiangang Mountain Range.

As soon as Gu Jing arrived here, he sensed a familiar aura.

"Xue'er!?"

In his surprise, he narrowed his eyes and looked toward the north.

With just one glance, his hair stood on end. A monstrous rage erupted, causing heaven and earth to tremble, and his pupils turned blood-red.

"You're looking for death!!"

Carrying endless killing intent, Gu Jing took a step forward, crossing through space and appearing out of thin air inside the Mine Tunnel of Sector 59.

In an instant, the man in black felt a terrifying pressure that seemed to shatter his Divine Soul bear down on him, and he froze on the spot.

He saw a pair of eyes.

A pair of crimson eyes that held no emotion, indifferent to the extreme and filled with boundless, deathly killing intent.

"Die!!"

Gu Jing suddenly raised a finger, and a stream of Qi instantly entered the man's forehead.

Instantly, the immortal power within the man's body exploded in reverse. A majestic energy storm swept through him, causing the Meridians throughout his body to bulge red and snap inch by inch!

In the next moment, the energy storm transformed into thousands of Astral Blades, spinning and dispersing rapidly within his body, frantically strangling him from the inside.

His flesh, organs, and Divine Soul were sliced and torn apart piece by piece, as if by a thousand cuts!

Indescribable pain instantly swept through his entire body. The man's face twisted, his eyes bulged, and he was terrified to the extreme.

He struggled with all his might, but he was firmly imprisoned, unable to move or roar. Even fainting became a luxury; he could only endure the torture of a thousand cuts while fully conscious.

Looking at the piece of trash before him who could neither live nor die, Gu Jing felt no relief, nor did he have the time to continue the torture.

Saving her was the priority!

Boom!!

Thunder surged in his hand as he slammed a palm onto the man's head. The skull shattered like a watermelon, and red and white matter splattered everywhere.

Following that, his obese body also shattered into a cloud of blood and gore under the violent power of the thunder.

"Xue'er!"

Gu Jing quickly stepped to Luo Bingxue's side and knelt down.

Looking at her thin, broken body and her mangled back without a single piece of intact flesh, his heart suddenly clenched.

Once upon a time, she was the most precious Young Miss of the Luo Mansion.

Her skin was as lustrous as jade, her posture elegant and graceful, like a piece of flawless, beautiful jade.

But now, she had been tortured beyond recognition, nearly broken to pieces!

The monstrous rage in Gu Jing's heart flared up again, and his endless killing intent soared into the sky. He wished he could immediately slaughter everyone in the Ouyang Family!

But now was not the time for revenge!

He reached out and carefully lifted the broken Luo Bingxue from the dirty, muddy ground, not daring to use even an ounce of extra strength for fear of breaking her.

He released his immortal power to wrap around Luo Bingxue and then teleported away from the place.

Inside the mine shaft, the slaves in groups of three to five stared blankly at the chunks of flesh and blood scattered all over the ground and walls.

From the moment Gu Jing appeared to kill the man and take Luo Bingxue away, it seemed like a long time, but in reality, only two breaths had passed.

This scene was so sudden that they hadn't even fully reacted yet.

Soon, expressions of wild joy appeared on their faces!

That Gu Jing could kill a Golden Immortal Early Stage expert with a single palm meant his cultivation was at least at the Golden Immortal Great Perfection Realm!

Furthermore, Gu Jing was elegantly dressed and had an extraordinary bearing; he was clearly not a Loose Cultivator but resembled the Divine Sons of the top aristocratic families they usually encountered. To be precise, Gu Jing was even more noble than those Divine Sons!

The Ouyang Family had encountered a truly ruthless character!

If the two sides started fighting, they could take advantage of the chaos to escape this poisonous place!

They all looked at each other, their faces filled with delight.
