With his fingers latched deep within his shoulder and a grimace full of pain while eyes filled with hatred that seemed to be seeping from deep within his bones, the Corpse General glared at Ye Qian and Yuan Meng.
Although this woman was a vessel that his master had told him to be careful with since his previous action had destroyed his master's vessel about a year ago, and he could not use her to exact revenge which he might have loved to do if it was before.
But right now, he definitely would not dare to do so, the reason was that he didn't dare to suffer the wrath of his master once again and the fact that his master was losing his vitality meant that even if he was quite strong, but still he would lose all of it once his master was to lose all of his vitality.
So right now, the task at hand was not something that he was willing to do just because it was ordered by his master, but also because his own life right now also depended on it.
Living like what he had been living, for close to a thousand years was definitely not something that he wanted.
In fact, if he was given a chance then he would rather not live for such a long time given his current features, but what supported his thought was the power he had in his grasp and knew that his master would once again rule the world of these mortals once again.
Since they had been living for close to a thousand years, the two of them obviously didn't think that they were simple humans anymore.
In fact, they had already thought that people should ever them as gods since they were almighty and even their age was something that no mortal would dare to even imagine having.
But right now, due to such a MORTAL which he should have been able to kill with nothing but just a flick of his fingers, he was being tormented in ways which he had never dared to imagine.
And it was shameful to such a degree that he could only grit his teeth in anger while also still suffering this ongoing pain which coursed all throughout his body and continued to burn his soul.
It was as if the fire had just latched itself upon him and no matter what method he tried, there would be absolutely no change in it at all.
Even if he were to pour water from a pond which was several yards wide but even then the fire would only continue to burn him slowly, giving him pain that he could have never imagined he would suffer.
As the bony fingers dug deep within his shoulder, there was not even the slightest amount of change which could be noticed by anyone that he was in pain due to poking his own shoulder with those fingers which were sharp and cold enough to even cut steel plates with not much effort.
But as the clawed bony fingers continued to dig deep, there was not even the slightest drop of blood that started to drip.
How would there even be the tiniest amount of blood in someone who had been dead for about a millennium now?
"I will kill you with my own hand!"
"ARGGGHHHHH!"
With a loud growl which seemed to be filled with not just anger but also deep pain, Corpse General growled while using all of his strength to pull his right shoulder off his body.
He knew well enough how strong his body was, even if he were to try to tear his own shoulder apart even then he would need some time to do so.
And that was also why he didn't dare to separate his arm right from the elbow.
He was afraid that the moment even a tiny spark latched itself upon his other arm, then he could only forget about living for a few more hours, much less being able to break free from his suffering of pain as it would only continue to grow until he didn't vanish from the face of his world once again.
And at that time he could only forget about having his little revenge much less living for a day more to experience a day when he would hold great power in this world and everyone would fear him like how it was a thousand years ago.
So for that to not happen once again with hit dreadful hellish flame, he didn't dare to want to get his other hand close to it as he only tried to remove his arm right from his shoulder and plunge it away so that it won't get close to him even a little bit.
But he had really been disappointed after a few moments as he groaned while fighting the pain which continued to increase and also pull his hand from his shoulder.
That was because the body which he was quite arrogant about just a while ago and had mocked Ye Qian, right now, was the only thing that made him feel as if he would be suffering so much just because of his strong body or not.
"RIPPP!"
Finally, after a few moments, while the hellish flame had just reached his elbow and was about to hop up towards his upper arm, a clear and crisp ripping sound was heard as the tendon which held onto his shoulder was mercilessly torn right from his shoulder joint.
"PAT PAT"
"ARGHHHH!"
As soon as he pulled his arm a low growl was emitted from his throat, but this time, it didn't seem as if filled with pain at all.
In fact, there was a sense of relief as if he had been relieved of something that he would never want to face again.
Someone that would always continue to cast a shadow in his mind, no matter what degree of strength he would be able to hold in the future.
"THUMP!"
Following on his knees with a loud thumb, he flung the burning arm a few tens of meters far away from him.
In fact, right now it was as if he didn't even have the strength to do something as meagre as throwing something at all.
