The sudden attack caught Long Ming completely off guard. In that instant, he truly felt death approaching.
"No!"
*Bang!*
Accompanied by the violent aftermath of a spiritual explosion, Long Ming was sent flying.
However, Leien Senete's attack did not strike him.
At that critical moment, the Origin Body's instinct to protect its master pulled Long Ming back from the brink of death.
It blocked Leien Senete's fatal punch.
After being sent flying, Long Ming collapsed onto the ground, his face still etched with terror and panic.
"I... I'm not dead!"
He looked at his body and found that he was essentially unharmed.
"Hahaha! I'm not dead! Hahaha!"
His taut nerves instantly relaxed, and as he let go of his body, certain physiological reactions associated with surviving a near-death experience occurred.
Now, a puddle of yellow liquid had appeared on the ground, and a suffocating stench filled the air.
"I..."
Upon realizing this, Long Ming was utterly stunned.
...
In the arena, after Leien Senete's attack missed, he once again engaged the Origin Body in a fierce battle.
The energy fluctuations they generated now far surpassed anything before.
This was a true battle of Origins.
Several minutes later.
"That person is about to be defeated!"
Su Xin watched the unfolding fight, clearly seeing that Leien Senete was struggling to keep up with the Origin Body's speed.
The Origin Body summoned by four Golden Talismans was equivalent to a true Origin Realm powerhouse.
Furthermore, its power originated from the Golden Talismans.
As long as the Golden Talismans remained, they could continuously supply it with energy.
Unless Leien Senete could outlast the Origin Body until the Golden Talismans' energy was depleted, he might stand a chance of winning.
But based on the current situation, the Origin Body remained at its peak, showing no signs of exhaustion.
*Bang!*
*Puff!*
The Origin Body's speed was simply too great for Leien Senete to follow. Carelessly, he was struck by a palm, sending him crashing into the ground.
Raising a storm of shattered stones and dust.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Leien Senete gasped for air, streams of blood flowing from his mouth. Each light cough aggravated his internal injuries,
causing sharp pangs of pain.
"Damn it!"
Seeing that the opponent's strength showed no signs of waning, Leien Senete couldn't help but curse.
He had regained his composure by now.
However, the outcome of the battle had already been decided.
Leien Senete's internal energy was nearly depleted.
From a distance, Long Ming, witnessing this, quickly cheered.
But as he caught the foul odor emanating from the air, his expression darkened.
He had actually been so frightened that he lost control of his bodily functions.
To him, this was an unbearable humiliation.
Thinking of this, his gaze towards Leien Senete turned increasingly sinister and venomous.
The orders from above were clear: if a "Rebel" was discovered, they must be captured and reported.
As for whether they lived or died, there was no explicit directive.
With that in mind, a terrifying thought suddenly formed in Long Ming's mind.
He glanced again at Su Xin and the others at the edge of the battlefield, his thoughts unclear.
With Leien Senete's strength depleted, Su Xin and the others naturally regained their freedom.
However, their bodies were still very weak.
Long Ming, enduring his own discomfort, walked over to the Origin Body.
Before him lay Leien Senete, covered in blood.
"Hm?"
At this moment, Leien Senete seemed to detect a "very peculiar" scent in the air.
Then!
*Gag...*
At this moment, Leien Senete finally understood what that smell was.
"Damn it!"
This was the second time he had cursed.
Leien Senete's retching made Long Ming's expression grow even more grim.
"Disable his right hand!"
Long Ming said coldly.
Upon receiving the order, the Origin Body turned its palm towards Leien Senete's right arm.
*Chirp!*
A flash of golden light pierced directly through Leien Senete's elbow.
His right hand!
Disabled!
Yet, from beginning to end, Leien Senete did not utter a single cry of pain. His eyes were fixed solely on Long Ming, filled with murderous intent.
"Oh! Still quite spirited! I wonder how long you can keep this up!"
Long Ming grinned and said, "Disable his left hand too."
Then, another flash of golden light.
Leien Senete's left arm also hung limply.
"What! You want to kill me?"
Long Ming looked at Leien Senete's murderous gaze, his smugness intensifying.
"Yes! I can give you that opportunity!" Long Ming pointed to the ground and said, "While your legs are still intact, if you are willing to kneel and beg me, I will spare you."
"After that, you will have the chance to kill me!" Long Ming said with a playful smile. "How about it?"
Hearing this, Leien Senete seemed to ponder seriously.
After a moment of silence, he said, "You keep your word!"
"Hmm!"
Long Ming rejoiced inwardly, "Indeed! No matter how strong a person is, they ultimately fear death!"
"Of course!"
Long Ming replied without hesitation, "And when you kneel, you must also say, 'Young Master Long Ming, please spare my dog's life!'"
Forcing a cultivator to kneel would undoubtedly satisfy Long Ming's perverse sense of accomplishment.
"Fine!"
Leien Senete's voice was low, filled with immeasurable dejection and shame.
Upon hearing this tone, Long Ming burst into laughter again.
This was exactly what he wanted.
"Kneel!"
Long Ming clasped his hands behind his back, fully displaying his noble status.
Leien Senete slowly rose, his trembling body controlling his legs as his knees gradually bent. He said, "Young Master Long Ming! Please... please spare my..."
"Yes! Yes! That's it! That's it!"
Long Ming could feel his blood boiling.
*Bang!*
"Ah!"
As he was lost in his fantasies, Leien Senete's body slammed into him, sending him several meters away.
This was Leien Senete's final burst of strength.
*Bang!*
Then, he collapsed onto the ground, near death.
Meanwhile, Long Ming, sent flying, felt as though his entire body was falling apart, his mind a complete blank.
As he was about to hit the ground, the Origin Body flashed and caught him.
Due to the speed of the events, the Origin Body's protective instinct had not kept up.
"Bastard!"
Long Ming glared at the fallen Leien Senete and roared, "Kill him! Kill him for me!"
Leien Senete's attack had still failed to kill Long Ming.
He was truly an unkillable cockroach.
Just as the Origin Body was about to act, Su Xin and the others appeared before it.
"Long Ming! Rebels must be brought back to the clan for judgment. You have no right to execute him."
Su Xin said coldly.
At this moment, she still had not regained control of the Origin Body.
"Su Xin, don't interfere! He must die today!"
Long Ming's expression was icy, and he said, "Attack!"
However, contrary to everyone's expectation that Long Ming's target was Leien Senete, the Origin Body charged towards them.
More precisely, it charged towards the Golden Talismans in their hands.
