Chapter 42: The Crazy Old Man 

BOOM!!

SPLASH… SPLASH…

Old Tian looked at the youth's body lying to the ground with a baffled expression because just as the young man was about to reveal the origin of that beast, his head exploded into a thousand pieces and those pieces of flesh and brain flew in every direction, dirtying his new laboratory.

Looking at the stupid expression on Old Tian's face, Elder Du roared in pleasure.

He knew that his fate will be worse than that of the two young men, so he did not need to be scared or respectful of him.

Old Tian snorted angrily, looking at that useless piece of meat still inside the cage, and then looked at Elder Du, who was still acting arrogant in front of him.

"Do you find it funny… huh?? It's not a good thing for you, instead, it helped me. At least, I know that there is a kind of control in your bloodline. We will surely catch more people."

"Stupid even, if you catch hundreds of these little bastards… It will be impossible, for you to get any information from our souls…" Elder Du ridiculed him even more.

"You shouldn't be too arrogant. You are just a bunch of stray dogs. I can still smell that disgusting stink coming from your body. I just need a stick to teach you a lesson, doggy." Old Tian snickered and used his powers to clean the piece of flesh from the surrounding area.

"HOW DARE YOU CALL US DOG… you don't even have the qualifications to speak to me like this…" Elder Du shouted and point one of his hands towards the old man.

"Hehe… So, you really have a mental problem… wake up… you are the one inside a cage and… not… me…"

"And???... Look at me, the only things useful left in this damn body are my arms… What the hell can I do, with only my arms, Mhm??... if it wasn't for that slut with red hair, I wouldn't be here."

He wasn't angry when Elder Du insulted him, but when he spoke those words about his little daughter, Old Tian was finally incensed and looked at him, with a dangerous smile on his face: "They were right, your tongue is quite poisonous… Why don't we play a game, Huh?... I will cut that damned thing…"

"HAHAHA, you want to cut it?? HAHAHA, Do it… Old bastard… DO IT…"

"Well… If you are so excited… Fine…"

The surrounding space was all his domain, so if he wanted to do something, he didn't even need to move.

Elder Du, who was still shouting 'DO IT' again and again, felt his head constricted by some kind of power and his lower jaw lowering a little.

He panicked a little, shocked by the events happening to his body, and started moving his tongue around, but it was naturally impossible for him to hide it.

After not only a breath, a strong power pulled the tip of his tongue out of his mouth.

He tried to look down, but…

SLASH!

… something was faster than his eyes and the only thing he saw was a big part of his tongue floating in the air, followed by a large quantity of blood.

AHHH!!

The middle-aged man shouted in pain and tried to stop the blood, but realized that it was better to die than to stay here and be tortured.

So, started laughing again and kept looking at the Old Man with a complacent expression.

Old Tian wasn't affected by his action and instead smiled at him: "You are truly stupid… Don't worry, you won't die… and there is also another good news… I'm a kind and benevolent old man, so I have decided to reattach that little tongue to your body… What do you think… Isn't that great?"

Elder Du stopped laughing and finally stared at the old man with eyes full of fear because he finally realized his terrible fate.

The fears take over his body and without even thinking, he threw his head against the stone floor.

But just when his head was only an inch from it, his body was halted again and despair filled his body.

"Hehe… what are you doing, we have just started…"

A terrible scene kept happening inside that lab… again and again…

AHH!!

STOP IT!! STOP IT!!

SLASH!!

…

AHH!!

NO MORE… NO MORE…

SLASH!!

…

AHH!!!

I BEG YOU… STOP IT!!

SLASH!!

…

AHH!!

After minutes of torture, Elder Du approached the gate of hell, actually the only way for him to run away from this agony, a lot of time, but each time Old Tian kept bringing him back.

This wasn't the first time doing something like this for Old Tian, so he was still calm and collected.

He didn't ask him anything but only looked at the face of his prisoner, changing each time.

"So… did you like it?… Do you want to go for another run?... I still have some time left…" Old Tian asked, with the same dangerous smile.

"NO… NO… NO MORE… I will tell you everything… But…" Elder Du pleaded with his face covered in blood.

"Oh?.. you still have the nerve, to say 'BUT'… The Hell…"

"NO… calm down… calm down… let me explain… I would like to tell you everything, but… but I can't… WAIT… WAIT… They sealed that information with a bloodline restriction and it impossible for me to revealed a lot of things…"

"You useless piece of shit… you are wasting my time…"

"WAIT… they are few, but… but… YES, didn't you want to know about that beast??... this is not a secret I can tell you everything… but please don't torture me again… just kill me…"

Elder Du finally spoke something that picked Old Tian's interest, so he calmed down a little: "Speak…"

Old Tian was still a little shocked by his words.

They weren't a lot, but more than enough to change the old man's vision of this world.

It was such a shocking truth that made him feel like an insignificant speck in the vast universe.

He still needed to process all of them, so he let Elder Du rest for some time and checked the middle-aged man's possession.

And indeed, inside his space ring, found another strange object.

He felt a strong space power coming from it and when he tried to use his power to open it, a terrifying presence came out from it and assaulted his spirit with powerful waves of energy.

Old Tian was a bit alarmed by that powerful energy, but still kept his power moving inside, and when he was almost at the last layer of protection and majestic and imposing shadow came out from it.

Old Tian couldn't see the facial feature of the shadow, but for some reason, he was sure that he was an old monster.

And indeed, his assumptions were confirmed, a moment later when the shadow started speaking: "BOLD… How dare you touch something that belongs to my clan… What thing are you??"

Old Tian lived long enough and it was hard to scare him, especially when someone spoke to him with this arrogance.

"Oh? This little treasure just farted… HEY!... you don't stink, but well… your words are quite poisonous…" Old Tian waved his hand in front of his face and said, with a shocked expression.

The shadow was silent for a while as if shocked by his words, before shouting again, with even more anger: "You could have survived, but now it's too late. You are the first in a hundred thousand years, who spoke to me in this way. It looks likes another madman was born after that bastard."

"Oh? Only a hundred… you are not too much… and tell me, who the hell are you, little fart… I'm so scared…"

"You are quite stupid… Little spirit… I feel your insignificant body shake… You are scared, but still quite daring… I like it… well… we can't still meet and I can't stay here for too long, but… before your death I will answer one of your questions… ask…"

Old Tian sighed, demoralized.

He thought he could hide the truth from him, but… alas, somehow he saw his real form… and maybe even more…

With his immense arrogance, he brought another calamity to the poor Tian Yang, but it was already too late.

He calmed down and asked after a while: "Who are you?"

"Oh?... actually, it's a simple question, but… little thing… do you truly want to know the answer?... will be your heart ready for it?"

Old Tian shook his head and said, with a calm tone: "I don't have a heart…"

"Hehe… you are right… you still don't have one… We are the Ancient Lang clan…"

"I already know it… But which one of them?"

"Which one of them?... HAHA… there is someone stupid enough to use our name, in that tiny realm?"

"Well… they have the heavenly wolf bloodline, so why shouldn't they use that name?"

The shadow was shocked for a while and then started laughing: "There are still some of our survivors there… HAHAHA… thank you, you gave me an immense surprise… HAHAHA…"

Hearing his words, Old Tian narrowed his eyebrows lightly and thought for a moment, before shouting with a shocked expression: "YOU… you are that Lang clan…"

"Hehe… I'm not sure what are you talking about, but… we are the only Lang Clan… the one sealed by the Mortal Emperor more than a hundred thousand years ago…"
