Chapter 39: Are we really going to fail at the hands of this unknown person?
"Could it be that I, Li Duanmu, will really be defeated by this unknown person?"

An indescribable anger and despair surged in Li Duanmu's heart.

Staring at Li Fuyi who was controlled by Su Jing, the tenderness for his granddaughter was no longer in his eyes, only the cold and ruthless murderous intent remained.

Li Duanmu's arms struggled to get out from his fleshy body.

They were as strong as steel, firmly grasping the black chain that pierced the back of their heads.

He tried his best to pull out the chains, otherwise if they were completely pierced, his vitality would be severely damaged and he would no longer be able to fight or counterattack effectively.

He glared at the controlled Li Fuyi with resentment, his heart filled with uncontrollable anger.

He once regarded his granddaughter as the apple of his eye, but now, he just wants her to disappear from this world.

Just like just now, when Su Jing took control of Li Fuyin's body, Li Duanmu chose to kill them both without hesitation.

Before the disaster, Li Duanmu's biggest fear was the end of his life.

He longed for the family to continue to grow and develop under his control.

After being deformed, he had a crazy idea: If he continued to devour other parasitic monsters, would he become stronger and his lifespan be extended, thus realizing his wish of immortality?

However, the reality is too cruel to accept.

The opponent is about to kill him, and his life will come to an end!

Do not!
Absolutely not to die!
At this moment, Li Duanmu's eyes widened as big as copper bells, as if they were about to shatter.

No longer caring about anything else, he directly mobilized his huge body, and more arms stretched out from the ground, wrapping around Li Fuyi controlled by Su Jing like vines.

At the same time, the black chain in Su Jing's hand was also spreading.

The arms and chains were intertwined and entangled, forming a thrilling picture.

They tore and collided in the air, occupying almost half of the space in the manor.

At this moment, Li Duanmu suddenly discovered a problem that made him tremble with fear.

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner in Su Jing's hand disappeared!
Where did this crucial killing weapon go?
When the sudden idea was still flashing in Li Duanmu's mind and he had not yet got the chance to get an answer, he suddenly suffered a heavy blow on the top of his head.

The pole of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, like a poisonous snake in the dark, silently pierced into the skull and took root deeply.

At that moment, Li Duanmu felt a cold touch spread throughout his body, as if he was being tightly grasped by an invisible force.

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner began to sway, and the black flag carried some strange power, dragging Li Duanmu's soul.

His soul began to separate from the huge body little by little.

An unprecedented fear surged in Li Duanmu's heart, and he tried his best to break free.

But no matter how he struggled, the power of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner was infinite, leaving him helpless.

"No! No! No!"

Li Duanmu let out a desperate roar.

The sound echoed in the manor, filled with endless fear and unwillingness.

His soul was disappearing bit by bit, and the helplessness and despair almost made him collapse.

He turned to the other heads on his body and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Why don't you help me quickly? If I die, my whole body will die, and then you will all be dead too!"

Li Duanmu hoped that these heads could be of some help, but all he got in response was indifference and doubt.

"Old man, are you lying to us? We can't see the enemy at all. It's you who's moving around all the time."

"Father, I can't stand it any longer. Can you please stop yelling and screaming?"

"That's it."

The other heads also echoed. Li Duanmu's heart sank to the bottom.

Only then did he realize that these so-called family members could not be relied on at all.

He originally thought that he could deal with the monster possessed by his granddaughter Li Fuyin on his own, so he drove away all the other deformed people in the family and asked them to deal with the enemies rushing in from the manor gate.

Now it seems that this was a fatal mistake.

If those deformed ones are still there, there might be a glimmer of hope if we eat them all and enhance the power of our original body.

As his soul was continuously devoured by the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, Li Duanmu's control over his body became weaker and weaker.

The movements became slow and weak, as if being held back by time.

He felt that his consciousness was gradually becoming blurred and could disappear in the endless darkness at any time.

Li Duanmu's heart was filled with despair and unwillingness.

He couldn't accept that he had been defeated by an enemy who hadn't even revealed his true identity.

He tried his best to break free from the dark power that bound him, but no matter how he struggled, he could not escape the endless despair.

A black chain flew through the air like a ghost and suddenly pierced into Li Duanmu's face, leaving a bloody hole between his nose and mouth.

This blow was as powerful as thunder, causing the other chains to drill into his huge body like poisonous snakes.

Li Duanmu suddenly let out a heart-wrenching scream, and the sound echoed throughout the entire manor.

"It hurts! What the hell are you bastards doing?"

He roared angrily, his voice full of despair and pain.

The heads around were in chaos, some were terrified, some were at a loss.

"It's an attack! Grandpa is being attacked by the enemy!"

A head shouted loudly, revealing an unprecedented tension in his voice.

"We can't see, we can't see anything! It's over, it's all over! If this old thing hadn't devoured us, maybe we could still help now. It's all his own fault. He has harmed himself and all of us!"

At this moment, a ghostly voice sounded: "We can eat it. Yes, let's eat our father. Maybe it can replenish our own strength, make us stronger, and escape."

This sound opened the terrible Pandora's box, causing all the heads to wake up.

Then, each head began to bite the surrounding flesh and bones desperately, trying to completely devour this huge body.

Their behavior was as brutal and merciless as that of wild beasts.

"You are such an unfilial son! You are worse than pigs and dogs! You are only holding me back!"

Li Duanmu cursed angrily,

But at this moment, he no longer cared about the pain and turned towards Li Fuyin.
His eyes were filled with pleading: "I was wrong! I was really wrong! Please let me go!
I am willing to give you all the wealth that my family has accumulated for hundreds of years.
Even...even I can be your slave!

You can see that my strength is still very strong, and I can devour others infinitely, making my body stronger and stronger.

You should know the safe fortress of Grizzly City. They have been trying to attract various aberrations to join.

I can help you build a force that is more powerful than the Security Fortress..."

However, as Li Duanmu's words gradually became incoherent and unclear, his voice finally disappeared.

The entire soul has been devoured by the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and has begun to be refined by the flames.

This was an excruciating torture that made his soul struggle in endless pain.
