Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 1013 - 276: The Power is Slightly Overwhelming by a Bit

The immense Golden Hoop Treasure enveloped Fan Wu in the blink of an eye.

And... it also carried a very special binding power.

It was like a cage that could trap a person tightly within.

Rendering them unable to break through its confinement.

The Golden Hoop Treasure even shrank at a visible rate, successfully binding Fan Wu’s arms.

Fan Wu’s arms were tightly pressed against his flanks by the Golden Hoop Treasure, indicating the remarkable strength of the artifact...

Indeed, it was extremely astonishing!

Of course, Fan Wu’s face, although trapped by the Golden Hoop Treasure, betrayed no sign of panic.

While he was somewhat surprised by this Golden Hoop Treasure, it was just that—a mild surprise and nothing more.

Then Fan Wu heard the wild laughter of Black Peng Demon Venerable: "Hahaha! I knew the treasure given by the National Master would definitely be of great use, otherwise... he would never have just handed it over to me."

"You, Fan Wu of Qiulong Temple, weren’t you acting arrogant just a moment ago? Why aren’t you arrogant now? Have you realized the severity of your situation? This treasure is bestowed on me by the contemporary State Preceptor of the Shangwu Dynasty. Surely you understand what that means?"

"Don’t think that just because I, the Black Peng Demon Venerate, am a demon, my relationship with the National Master of the Shangwu Dynasty isn’t profound! Blame yourself for being so unlucky, daring to offend that State Preceptor."

"Consequently, you’ve given me such an opportunity. Without the treasure from the National Master, capturing you would have been somewhat difficult."

At this point, Black Peng Demon Venerable clicked his tongue: "At least not as easy as it is now, to capture you like this. The National Master is truly formidable!"

Upon finishing this statement, a hint of barely concealed jealousy flashed in the eyes of Black Peng Demon Venerable.

In its memory, the contemporary State Preceptor of the Shangwu Dynasty was also a human, and it found it somewhat inconceivable—why could humans be so powerful?

Though... most humans were mere food in its eyes, there were always that rare one or two who could use their terrifying strength to shatter its preconceptions.

Clearly, both the contemporary State Preceptor of the Shangwu Dynasty and Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple were among those rare few.

"Today, I must settle our grudges once and for all!" Black Peng Demon Venerable’s face took on a fierce glare. "The hatred for killing my brother can finally be avenged today!"

"How should I dispose of you? Shall I just eat you straight away? No, that bit of meat on you wouldn’t even get stuck in my teeth. And to let you die so easily would be too casual, too effortless."

The more it spoke, the more ferocious the light on its face grew, and one could even hear a hint of anticipation and excitement in its tone: "First, I need to torture you thoroughly. Before I kill you, I’ll rip out every hair from your body. Then I will use fine silver needles to prick every pore on your body!"

"And then, I’ll use a small knife to peel off your skin bit by bit. And then slowly draw out your tendons..."

Black Peng Demon Venerable became more and more engrossed as it spoke.

It was as if the vision had already vividly appeared in its mind, and the smile on its bird face became uncontrollable.

"Hey..." Watching the creature muttering incessantly, Fan Wu helplessly uttered, "Aren’t you getting a bit too carried away with your wild fantasies? Do you really think that thing can keep me under control?"

As these words fell, the maniacal laughter on Black Peng Demon Venerable’s face involuntarily stiffened.

Then it watched, wide-eyed, as Fan Wu’s arms began to exert strength.

Under its incredulous gaze, the Golden Hoop Treasure that had restrained Fan Wu began to enlarge as Fan Wu’s arms relentlessly pushed against it!

"How could this be?!" Black Peng Demon Venerable’s eyes bulged, his face a mask of disbelief.

Hadn’t the National Master said that the Golden Hoop Treasure could bind a person’s mana and their soul, and that anyone restricted by these rings would become an ordinary mortal...

"You... how do you still have the strength... to break free from this treasure?" Black Peng Demon Venerable exclaimed in shock.

Could it be... that what the National Master had said was a lie?

Impossible!

How could he lie to himself?

And his elder brother was there at the time, too. If the National Master were deceiving him, how could his brother not have warned him?

"You say it can bind a person’s mana and their soul?" Fan Wu cracked a smile: "Have you considered the possibility... that I have no mana, and my soul is merely an ordinary one with three souls and seven spirits, rather than some divine soul?"

"In some sense, I am indeed just an ordinary mortal, nothing special. Oh, the only special thing might be that my strength is a tad greater than average. Nothing more than that."

Black Peng Demon Venerable: "???"

What kind of joke is this?

An individual without mana, and even with an ordinary soul, had just beaten it to a pulp?

And it’s all supposedly because his strength was ’a tad greater’?

Bullshit, that’s far more than just a bit of extra strength. It was an immense power that even Black Peng Demon Venerable, a mighty demon, couldn’t resist!
