"This creature is called the Bone-Eating Worm. If it enters your body, it will gradually devour your internal organs and flesh, and eventually even your bones will be consumed."
"And before that happens, you will clearly feel every moment of it eating through your insides. I'm guessing you'll absolutely love the feeling." The Black Toad King toyed with the Bone-Eating Worm in his hand, flashing Chu Feng an eerie grin.
"Tch, so it's just a Bone-Eating Worm. I thought you had something impressive." Yet despite the terrifying creature, Chu Feng curled his lips in disdain.
"What? You've seen a Bone-Eating Worm before?" The Black Toad King was taken aback. This creature was his pet — extremely rare. An ordinary person shouldn't have ever laid eyes on one.
"Hmph, of course I've seen one. It's nothing more than a bug that eats flesh and bones."
"Something like this might work on other people, but for me, it's not even a challenge. Why don't you pick a different way to torture me?" Chu Feng said with a smirk.
"Oh really? That's simple. Try the Bone-Eating Worm first, and if you survive, I'll use a different method." The Black Toad King grinned eerily, seeming to see through Chu Feng's bravado. As he spoke, he strode toward Chu Feng.
"Hey, this really isn't challenging at all. Pick something else — damn it, don't feed me that disgusting thing! Hey! Aghhhhh!"
This time, the Black Toad King ignored Chu Feng entirely. One large hand pried open Chu Feng's mouth while the other moved to stuff the Bone-Eating Worm inside.
"Let her go. I don't need her to die in my place."
Watching this, a look of anguish crossed Purple Bell's delicate face. Her slender body trembled, and a torrent of power erupted from within her, snapping all the vines binding her. She reached out with her jade-like hand, trying to stop the Black Toad King.
"Get back down. I make the rules here." But the Black Toad King simply waved his hand. A surge of overwhelming aura blanketed Purple Bell's body, sealing her power. She collapsed weakly to the side, unable to stand.
And as that disgusting worm was about to be shoved into his mouth, Chu Feng's face turned green. He absolutely did not want to be devoured by a worm.
"Father, save me!" Just then, a frog-like roar suddenly echoed from the entrance of the great hall.
In that instant, Chu Feng could clearly see panic wash over the Black Toad King's revolting face. The Toad King not only stopped what he was doing to Chu Feng but immediately turned toward the hall's entrance and bellowed: "Release him!"
At the same time, Chu Feng looked toward the entrance and saw an old man standing there — none other than Purple Xuan Yuan.
And kneeling before Purple Xuan Yuan was a demon beast that looked remarkably like the Black Toad King. It was also a black toad, nearly identical in eyes and build, and it possessed cultivation at the seventh stage of the Xuan Martial Realm. So the Black Toad King had a son.
No wonder Purple Xuan Yuan hadn't shown up for so long — the old man had gone to capture the Black Toad King's son.
Sure enough, judging from the Black Toad King's expression, it was clear he cared deeply about his son. Purple Xuan Yuan had found the Toad King's weakness.
"Elder Xuan Yuan!" At the same time, Liu Zhizun and the others from Supreme Villa were overjoyed. They all knew Purple Xuan Yuan's strength — at the very least, he was the Black Toad King's equal. Seeing him was like seeing their savior.
But Purple Xuan Yuan paid them no attention. Instead, he said to the Black Toad King: "Release those two children, or I'll kill your little toad."
