Gu Sheng reached out and grabbed Shi Lezhi's intestines, slicing them segment by segment. The nerves that had already been numbed were once again overwhelmed with excruciating pain. Shi Lezhi, whose vocal cords were already hoarse, let out low, guttural cries.
After another half an hour, with Gu Sheng crushing Shi Lezhi's heart in one swift motion, his sinful life finally came to an end.
By this time, the sky had darkened, and the temperature plummeted significantly.
Once night fell, the Red Cloud Mountain Range became much livelier, as many wild beasts and bloodthirsty demon beasts emerged to hunt. The thick scent of blood here would quickly attract predators to the scene.
Injured as he was, Gu Sheng dared not linger. Using the remaining clean water, he washed the bloodstains off his body and activated his Shadow Concealment Skill to return to the valley.
The valley was eerily silent; apart from the sound of the wind, no other noises could be heard.
