Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible - Chapter 197

197 Purgatory on Earth, Extreme Torture
When he suddenly heard Zou Hao’s voice, Lin Ran was stunned for a moment before shaking his head with a sad smile. He did not expect Zou Hao to hold such an important place in his heart. When he saw the corpse, he actually heard Zou Hao’s voice.

“Xiang Tiancong! Didn’t you say that you would bring Sword supreme-ruler over? Why is Lord Lin here?”

Zou Hao’s voice sounded again. It was louder than before and was filled with confusion.

“Not again.”

Lin Ran closed his eyes and wanted to pinch the space between his eyebrows, but as soon as he raised his hand, he felt that something was wrong. How could Zou Hao know Xiang Tiancong?

!!
As soon as this question popped up, Lin Ran opened his eyes and saw Zou Hao roll his eyes and start to stare at him in confusion.

Seeing Lin Ran looking at him, Zou Hao smiled sadly. “It’s unbelievable, right? I’m already in this state, but I’m still alive.”

Lin Ran didn’t say anything. He just looked at Zou Hao in a daze. To be more precise, he was looking at Zou Hao’s head.

“What… is going on?”

After a few minutes, Lin Ran came back to his senses and asked. His voice was hoarse, as if he had not drank water for half a month.

“I don’t know.”

Zou Hao shook his head with deep fear in his eyes. “He was too fast. Before I could react, his robe wrapped around me. After I broke free, I was like this.”

“Robe?”

Lin Ran was stunned. “What robe?”

“It’s… Forget it. You won’t know even if I tell you.”

Zou Hao sighed and turned to look at Xiang Tiancong, who had just walked over. “Didn’t you say that you would bring Sword supreme-ruler over? I’m already in this state. Why are you still lying to me?”

“Sect Master Zou…”

Just as Xiang Tiancong was about to explain, Lin Ran suddenly raised his hand and said, “You can leave first. I have something to say to Sect Master Zou.”

Zou Hao didn’t know Lin Ran’s identity at this moment, but Xiang Tiancong knew it very well. Hearing this, he immediately nodded and jumped down the stone pillar without hesitation.

Seeing that Xiang Tiancong had left so decisively, Zou Hao found it strange, but there was nothing he could do. He turned to Lin Ran and asked impatiently, “If you have something to say, say it quickly. Then invite Sword supreme-ruler over. I have something important to report to him.”

“I’m the Ten Miles Sword supreme-ruler”

Lin Ran said softly with a complicated expression.

Zou Hao widened his eyes at Lin Ran. “What did you say?!”

“I’m the Ten Miles Sword supreme-ruler”

Lin Ran repeated, “Sword supreme-ruler is already dead. The Ten Miles Sword supreme-ruler you saw was me in disguise.”

After a few more minutes of being in shock, Zou Hao suddenly laughed. His laughter was filled with the excitement of someone who had finally come to a realization. His head tilted backward so much that it almost fell over.

Lin Ran reached out to stabilize the head. “What are you laughing at?”

“I’m laughing at myself for being stupid!”

Zou Hao said with a sigh, “Actually, I should have realized it long ago. I saw your sword intent while participating in the rebellion with King Zhao, but when you came to find me on Eight Directional Mountain, I was too afraid at that time and didn’t recognize it!”

As if feeling that he did not have long to live, Zou Hao admitted his cowardice.

Lin Ran smiled and changed the topic. “I know you’re in pain now. I’ll…”

“Pain? No, no, no. I’m not in pain now.”

Zou Hao suddenly interrupted Lin Ran and looked at his body that was scattered on the ground. “I don’t know how to describe it, but you’re so smart. You should understand at a glance.”

Lin Ran was stunned for a moment before he picked up a part that looked like a forearm. At first, he didn’t notice anything unusual, but he quickly realized that something was wrong.

There was a thin layer of sand on the ground at the top of the stone pillar. After this forearm was picked up, a clean outline was left on the ground, indicating that it had been here for a long time.

However, this forearm did not show any signs of rotting or deteriorating. The color was still healthy, and the muscles were still quite elastic.

If one observed it carefully, one could even see the blood flowing in the veins on the forearm, as if it was still part of someone’s body, but the rest of the body could not be seen.

“What’s going on?”

As Lin Ran spoke, he quickly picked up a few more pieces and looked at them carefully. They were the same.

Zou Hao’s body was cut into 20 to 30 pieces, but he was still alive. The parts that were cut off were not even affected.

Lin Ran looked astonished. This was too strange, and he had clue what was going on.

“I don’t know how he did it, but I feel no different from usual.”

Zou Hao said with an expression that made it hard to tell if he was crying or laughing. Then, his gaze drifted further away. “Other than my left leg hurting a little.”

Lin Ran turned around and looked in the direction he came from.

When he first came up, he noticed that there were some small wounds on the pieces over there. The pain was probably from the wounds.

Lin Ran covered his face and let out a long sigh. At the same time, he felt like his train of thoughts had turned into a labyrinth and he couldn’t sort it out.

Zou Hao suddenly spoke, drawing Lin Ran’s attention back. “What were you going to say just now? You will what?”

“I’ll give you a quick death.”

Lin Ran continued what he left unfinished and looked at the body parts scattered everywhere. “If you need it.”

“I need it so much! Really!”

Zou Hao immediately said, his tone filled with anxiety. “You don’t know how vicious he is! He said that if I like to investigate bones so much, he’d let me watch my body being eaten away by the birds and turning into bones here!”

Zou Hao’s face filled with fear. “He even built this stone platform for me. This way, I can see better how the birds eat up my body. He’s simply vicious! I should have thought of how vicious he is when I saw his eyes!”

“Eyes?”

Lin Ran’s heart skipped a beat. “Is the person you’re talking about thin and tall? Is he wearing white robe like a scholar, but his eyes are very sinister?”

“Yes, yes, yes!”

Zou Hao answered repeatedly. Because he was so excited, his head almost fell off the stone platform. “He said his name is Xuan Wushang!”
