Nalan Feng thought he was safe.
But Wu Tian simply smiled, a bone-chillingly cold grin.
"He must be blinded. He must live a life worse than death and suffer the countless torments of this world!"
What?
Wu Tian’s words left everyone stunned. Even after Nalan Jie had made his position clear, Wu Tian still made this choice? Everyone wondered if Wu Tian had lost his mind.
But Wu Tian paid no mind to their opinions. With a flick of his finger, Spiritual Power suddenly surged forth. The very air seemed to tremble.
"AHHH!"
A pained scream tore through the air, though no one saw what had happened. When the crowd looked, they saw that Nalan Feng’s eyes had burst, blood streaming down his face.
"AHHHH! My eyes, my eyes! Father, my eyes are gone!"
Nalan Feng never expected Wu Tian would actually dare to take his eyes. He had no time to react, no chance to see what was happening before they burst. The agony from his eyes made him curl into a ball on the ground, on the verge of passing out. Fainting would have been a mercy. Instead, he was trapped in a bizarre state, suffering endless torment within an Illusion Realm.
Nangong Yi and the others stared at Wu Tian in disbelief. They never imagined that the friendly-seeming man could be so ruthless, showing no mercy to his enemies.
Wu Tian’s cold gaze swept over the crowd before landing on Nangong Yi. "The same goes for you," he said indifferently. "From now on, you will be trapped in inescapable nightmares every night. The suffering you feel in them will be as real as any pain in this world."
Nangong Yi’s legs began to tremble uncontrollably.
"This... this..." Nalan Jie was at a loss for what to do.
"What are you standing there for? Get him to the hospital!" Xiao Liang roared.
Jolted back to reality, Nalan Jie hurriedly called for his men to rush Nalan Feng to the hospital.
The scene became eerily quiet. Everyone was silent, unsure of what to say.
"Ahem." Knowing he needed to say something, Xiao Liang spoke up. "Since everyone has come to the Gambling Stone Field, we should begin the stone gambling. I wonder who will be the biggest winner today."
Then, he whispered to Nalan Jie, "Don’t even think about revenge. Otherwise, our bond as master and disciple is finished."
"I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare," Nalan Jie repeated hastily upon hearing his teacher’s warning.
Inwardly, however, he was seething with rage toward Wu Tian. Pretend nothing happened? Impossible. He knew he didn’t dare do anything to Wu Tian in front of Xiao Liang, but that didn’t mean he was powerless. He glanced at Wu Tian and gritted his teeth. If I can’t get revenge out in the open, I’ll do it from the shadows. But first, I need to see what this Wu Tian is really capable of. Is this ’expert’ my teacher holds in such high regard the real deal, or just a fraud?
Putting aside the complex emotions over his son’s grave injury, Nalan Jie composed himself and addressed the crowd. "It is getting late. Everyone, please follow me into the stone field. Let’s begin the stone gambling."
"Good."
"We can’t wait any longer."
"That’s right."
Others chimed in, but their enthusiasm was low after the unbelievable events that had just transpired.
"Everyone, please follow me," Nalan Jie said politely. It was to be expected of the Family Head of the Nalan Family, the foremost of the four great families. His son had just been grievously injured, yet his expression was completely unruffled. Such composure was beyond ordinary people. Many of the wealthy men present secretly admitted to themselves that they were no match for Nalan Jie.
Now, the crowd followed Nalan Jie into the stone field. It was surrounded by great glass walls, its layout designed by a master. As soon as they entered, they began to murmur in praise.
"Our Yang City has never had a stone field before. This is the first."
"And I bet it’s the biggest one in Yang City."
Who did this Wu Tian think he was?
What does stone gambling depend on? Vision! And how is vision acquired? Through the sediment of time and experience, of course.
