"Ren Brother, are you okay?" Chu Yanran's expression changed as she caught the body of Ren Pingsheng who was flying backward, her voice filled with urgency. Her eyes were slightly red. If it weren't for saving her, he definitely wouldn't have been injured.
"I'm fine, I can still hold on." Ren Pingsheng's face was somewhat pale. Although the Thousand Silk Armor had absorbed most of the attack for him, his previously recovering Meridian was now in disarray again, and he couldn't even use True Qi. Otherwise, his Meridian would have collapsed first.
"Tsk tsk... what a heroic rescue, I didn't expect such an unexpected outcome." Wu Yang laughed proudly. He originally intended to deal with Chu Yanran and then kill Ren Pingsheng with all his might. He didn't expect that he would be seriously injured while saving someone. This was indeed a pleasant surprise.
"Haha, exactly. Ren Pingsheng, this time let's see where you can escape to." Lin Lun walked over, speaking with disdain. Previously, he had been frightened by Ren Pingsheng, but now seeing him in an Awkward state naturally made him feel pleased.
"Oh, and then? Do you really think you guys can keep me here? How foolish!" Ren Pingsheng stood up, speaking calmly as if he hadn't just been injured.
"It seems I really have been too kind-hearted; do you all think I'm easy to bully?" He suddenly laughed for some reason, leaving others confused. However, for some unknown reason, Wu Yang felt a chill run down his spine, as if something bad was about to happen.
"Quickly make your move, don't hesitate." He shouted with a changed expression. Although he didn't know if this feeling was real or not, delaying any longer could lead to unforeseen consequences.
"Oh, don't you think it's too late now? What a pitiful fellow. Do you really think you are worthy to take action against me?" Suddenly, Ren Pingsheng vanished without anyone noticing how he disappeared. Then his faint voice echoed in the area.
"Ah!" Suddenly, a Perfect Realm Warrior let out a horrified scream and fell to the ground convulsing. A blood hole remained in his chest; his Heart had already disappeared. Blood gushed forth, and within just a few breaths, he showed no signs of life.
Ren Pingsheng reappeared not far from him, holding a blood-red Heart that seemed to still be beating. He wore an evil smile as if admiring the most beautiful artwork in the world.
"How beautiful! A human's Heart is always the most beautiful thing in the world. Regardless of whether you are poor or rich, evil or good, the Heart never changes. This beautiful red color is simply exhilarating to behold."
"I haven't seen something so beautiful in many years. Don't you all agree? Isn't this Heart beautiful?" He held up the bright red Heart, looking at everyone with an expectant expression.
"You disgusting bastard, I'm going to kill you!" shouted a warrior who was close to the deceased martial artist, his expression filled with grief and anger as he charged forward with his sword.
"Are you saying he isn't beautiful? How dare you say he isn't beautiful?" Ren Pingsheng asked, his face slightly twisted.
"Bang..." With a forceful grip, the Heart in his hand shattered into pieces, blood splattering everywhere. He licked the blood that had splattered on his face, eyes closed in a look of enjoyment. However, he soon changed his expression and said, "Since you think he's not beautiful, then let me show you your Heart. By then, you'll definitely find it beautiful."
He chuckled, his white teeth contrasting with the droplets of fresh blood on his face, creating an inexplicable chill that penetrated to the bone. Even Chu Yanran beside him was frightened, her delicate face turning pale, not understanding why Ren Pingsheng had undergone such a drastic change.
"Ah!" The warrior charging forward thrust his sword but only struck at a shattered illusion. Then he felt a sharp pain in his chest and couldn't help but scream in agony as he fell to the ground, rolling around.
"Look at this Heart. Is it beautiful? This is your Heart!" Ren Pingsheng squatted down and asked, lowering his head. He had somehow acquired another Heart that was still warm and beating.
"You... you demon!" The warrior was already fading fast, fear evident in his voice as he shouted. Then he died with an expression of unwillingness and terror.
"Dead? What a waste. Do you all think it's beautiful?" He stood up and looked at Wu Yang and the other three, asking expectantly. However, all four of them wore expressions of fear. Their faces were pale, and one of them couldn't stop trembling.
How could they not be afraid? Two Perfect Realm Warriors had unknowingly died, their Hearts ripped out. They had no power to fight back. They hadn't even seen how Ren Pingsheng had attacked. The thought of their own Hearts possibly being ripped out filled them with dread and despair.
"Why is no one speaking? Do you think it's not beautiful? Then..." Ren Pingsheng said somewhat disappointedly, but before he could finish his sentence, Wu Yang and the others were startled. They suddenly recalled why that warrior had died.
"Beautiful... very beautiful!" they immediately chimed in. Although their lips trembled as they spoke, none dared to remain silent.
"Haha, what a beautiful thing." It seemed he had heard the best praise in the world as he grinned and continued, "But such a beautiful thing would be too unfortunate to stay with you. Only I deserve to possess it, so you all can just stay here!"
"Run!" Wu Yang met those cold eyes and felt a shiver run through him; an unprecedented fear filled his heart. This was not Ren Pingsheng; this was a demon—a true demon. Regret flooded his mind as he realized how he had provoked such a person.
Others, upon hearing Ren Pingsheng's words, turned pale with fear and scattered in all directions. Faced with such a terrifying figure, they wished their parents had given them two more legs. They ran as fast as they could, but to them, it felt like they were moving as slowly as snails.
"Can you escape?" Ren Pingsheng chuckled, waving his hand as if weaving invisible threads in the air, creating nets. The four fleeing individuals, the farthest of whom was almost out of sight, suddenly found themselves frozen in mid-air, unable to move.
What terrified them even more was that they were actually being pulled back step by step. With each retreat, their heartbeats quickened. In despair, they realized that all four of them had returned to where they originally stood. Like puppets on strings, no matter how hard they struggled, they could not escape their fate.
"If you want to leave, you can. But you have to leave your things behind. Such beautiful items cannot be left to you, can they?" He gently caressed one warrior's chest and asked softly.
"Please... let me go! I won't dare again... ah... ah..." The warrior begged in fear, but his words barely escaped his lips before he let out a horrific scream. Then, from the hands on his chest appeared a blood-red Heart.
Blood flowed everywhere; the gruesome scene shocked everyone present. Chu Yanran had already turned her head away and covered her mouth as she began to vomit.
"Alright, now you can leave," Ren Pingsheng said lightly. With a wave of his hand, the immobilized warrior collapsed to the ground. Unfortunately, he still lacked the strength to escape and struggled for a moment before dying.
"What a pity; I gave you a chance and you didn't take it. You should strive to do better and not end up like him. I let him go, but he refused to leave. You can't blame me for that!" He held up the Heart and approached another warrior with a smile.
"You..." The warrior could hardly speak; his pupils dilated as he became dazed with fear. He trembled in terror.
"I don't like your Heart; it's too weak. So I can't let you go," he said with some disgust, and in an instant, the warrior's head separated from his body.
"Demon! You demon! Don't come near me... let me go; we are from the same sect..." Lin Lun shouted, alternating between laughter and tears on his face. His heart was collapsing under endless regret for having come to kill Ren Pingsheng.
"So we are still from the same sect? You remember that? Then I won't take your Heart," Ren Pingsheng said with a smile.
"But that means I can't let you go," Lin Lun said, his ecstatic expression not yet faded when he too experienced the same fate of decapitation. Although he died like the others, at least he did not face death with the same despair as the others did.
"You demon, who are you?" Wu Yang exclaimed in terror as he looked at the approaching Ren Pingsheng.
"Oh, don't you know me? Since you're here to kill me, why ask such a childish question?"
"You are not Ren Pingsheng; you can't be Ren Pingsheng. You are a demon! You are a possessed demon!"
"Demon, that name has been used for me long ago; it brings back memories! You seem quite clever, yet how could you be so unaware of your own limits and come to assassinate him? I do enjoy the hearts of smart people," Ren Pingsheng said with a smile, seemingly not denying his identity.
"No, don't come closer, don't come closer!" He struggled in fear, but unfortunately, he couldn't move at all. As he looked at the pair of fair hands caressing his chest, his eyes widened in terror, and his heart raced.
"Demon, I curse you to die a miserable death!" In his fear, he lost his sanity and shouted angrily.
"Heh heh, curse me? If curses were effective, I would have died two thousand years ago; unfortunately, I am still alive and well." He laughed mockingly as his right hand tightened, revealing a beating heart that was still warm.
"How beautiful! I am indeed a demon; why would I care about your lives? Besides, you all deserve to die. After so many years, this feeling is still intoxicating," he said dreamily as he gazed at the several hearts in his hand, lost in thought.
"Oh, is there no time left?" Ren Pingsheng's expression changed as he spoke with some resignation. Then the heart in his hand transformed into a mist of blood and vanished.
He then appeared beside Chu Yanran, who was on high alert and terrified. She now didn't even know if this was still Ren Pingsheng; he was completely different from the person who had been gravely injured to save her.
"Take him away!" After glancing at her, Ren Pingsheng's eyes gradually lost their luster. Then he closed his eyes and lay down on the ground, looking extremely weak.
