The cold pond below their feet was even more disturbed, this cold pond had been icy for years, yet at this moment, it was nearly boiled by the scorching sun just an arm's length away.

The Evil Law Elder's eyes seeped with a steady flow of black water.

His body was forced back continually by the Pure Yang Inner Power.

But a large stone behind him supported his form, preventing him from falling.

As a result, the person and the stone both slid backwards towards the rear of the Cold Pond.

At this moment, two chains suddenly splashed up from the water's surface.

These two chains went deep into the unknown, yet they were connected to the old man's ankles.

There was also an iron nail piercing through the ankle to fix him in place, trapping him here firmly.

Now with a sudden pull, it made the Evil Law Elder feel unbearable pain.

He couldn't help but cry out:

"The pain is killing me!

The pain is killing me!!!"

"???"

Su Mo was stunned upon hearing this.

He had integrated the Nine Suns Stepping Sky Wind into the Wind God Step, and it was his first time using it. He intended to maximize his Inner Strength's power, and then give the Evil Law Elder a kick to settle the score.

But unexpectedly, the power exerted was only about thirty percent, and the scorching heat wave hadn't yet reached its limit.

Could it be that this Evil Law was speaking?

Could Evil Law even speak?

Su Mo felt his heart move, his body flickered, the purple sun dissipated, and he appeared again, standing above the Evil Law Elder.

Looking down, the old man's howls ceased.

He was only gasping for breath.

His mouth began muttering to himself:

"Emperor Xuan ordered to use the effect of the Heavenly Tablet to refine the Immortal Pill..."

It was the same content that the old man was muttering to himself when he was here alone before Su Mo arrived.

Su Mo glanced at Little Situ behind him.

Little Situ was dazed at that moment.

This place was incredibly dangerous, and the Evil Law Elder's methods were extraordinarily unusual.

Su Mo naturally didn't dare to leave Little Situ aside; if a fight broke out, and the old man manipulated the ice spikes against Little Situ,

wouldn't Su Mo be unable to act freely without risking harm to her?

Thus, from the beginning of the encounter, Su Mo hadn't let go of him.

It was just that the speed of that Absolute Skill he demonstrated earlier was too quick, and though he used Inner Strength to protect Little Situ so she wouldn't be affected by the move,

the rapid movement, combined with the intense heat of the purple sun, still left Little Situ feeling dizzy.

As if she were carsick.

At this moment, her mind was probably still unclear.

Therefore, she did not respond to Su Mo's gaze.

Su Mo thought for a moment, then descended before the old man, waving a hand lightly in front of his face.

The old man seemed blind to it, only mumbling incessantly.

A look of terror appeared on his face.

"Brother Su..."

It was at this time that Little Situ finally stirred, speaking softly:

"Let me check his pulse."

"Okay."

Su Mo nodded, lifting the old man's arm.

Little Situ checked the pulse, her brows furrowing tightly:

"He... he... he should be dead."

"What do you mean by this?"

This old man was clearly still alive.

"Open his garment..."

Little Situ whispered.

Su Mo didn't waste words, immediately reaching out to unbutton the old man's clothes.

What he saw was a wound on the old man's chest.

It's hard to say how many years that wound had been there, sewn up with thread, yet it never healed.

From within leaked strands of cold air.

"Indeed."

Upon witnessing this, Little Situ's face changed further:

"His heart... is gone."

No heart!? Can a person live without a heart?

The answer is, of course, no.

This isn't a mythological world, this is the Martial World...

How could someone possibly be alive without a heart?

But this person before them was clearly still alive.

Just now, he still felt pain.

Now he looked to have reverted to an unconscious state.

However, he was no longer as aggressive as before.

Su Mo knew that in this world of Divine Skills and Absolute Skills, many could transcend logic.

Like the Yin Yang Immortal Order.

No Yin without Yang, no Yang without Yin, and under this intertwined energy, no matter how severe the injury, one could survive.

Even if beheaded, they could live.

But it was evident that this Evil Law Elder didn't practice that martial art.

The Yin Yang Immortal Order emblem was still in his little pouch.

As for the martial art recorded on it, Su Mo hadn't meddled with it at all until now.

Because he felt this martial art was too strange and didn't want to take the risk lightly.

Yet, what was the matter with this man before him?

Su Mo reached out and pulled him forward; he showed no response, only mumbling incessantly, as if caught in an obsession.

After two pulls, the man wasn't moved by Su Mo, but his face once again revealed a look of pain.

This state was evidently abnormal.

Su Mo brought Little Situ behind him and gently opened his back to check.

Then he discovered that there were threads all over his back.

Each one coiled near the spine, with the other end embedded in the stone.

This person was actually sewn alive to the stone by someone!

Su Mo and Little Situ were both shocked.

What kind of person could do such a thing?

To connect a man's spine with a stone.

And to pierce his ankles, chaining them.

Thus confining the person completely to this place.

The two looked at each other, Su Mo then asked Little Situ to try if she could awaken the old man.
