The figure pulled back his dark hood, revealing sharp features and twin pools of burning, hellish crimson eyes.
Peng Kai's blood-stained face instantly relaxed, a weak, feverish smile tugging at his lips. "Brother Ni!"
Before he could offer a proper greeting, Shen Yu stepped forward. Without a word of sympathy, he raised his heavy boot and slammed it squarely onto Peng Kai's shattered chest!
CRACK—!
"ARGHHHHH!"
Peng Kai screamed in sheer, visceral agony as his broken ribs creaked and shifted under the crushing weight.
Fresh blood gushed from his lips, staining the forest floor as he thrashed helplessly beneath Shen Yu's heel.
Shen Yu leaned down, looking directly into the former Patriarch's trembling, terrified eyes.
Pure, bone-chilling killing intent radiated from his gaze, freezing the blood in Peng Kai's veins.
"You are a member of the Black Blooded Demons," Shen Yu purred softly, his voice dropping into a dangerous, abyssal register.
