Chapter 203 Unaware
Yet, at this suffocating moment, the pain he endured seemed to come from the depths of purgatory. The excruciating pain surged like a surging tide, crashing through his body and mind in wave after wave. Each time the pain struck, it felt like countless red-hot blades were stirring wantonly within him, slicing through his muscles, bones, and nerves.
But even so, he showed no sign of retreating. Instead, he clenched his teeth tightly, his lips like a solid defense line, vowing to resist the endless torture. Due to excessive force, his gums gradually couldn't bear the pressure, and traces of bright red blood slowly seeped out from between his teeth, staining his pale lips red, looking shocking.
Beads of sweat, each the size of a bean, streamed down his broad forehead, one drop after another, like beads from a broken string, quickly soaking his dry clothes. Sweat flowed down his cheeks, gathering at his chin, forming small streams before dripping onto the ground, creating tiny splashes of water.
Yet, at this moment, he seemed oblivious to all this. He clenched his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, and his eyes widened, staring intently ahead, as if something utterly terrifying lay there. His hands were clenched into fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, even piercing his skin, blood slowly seeping out, yet he felt no pain at all.
At that moment, he had only one thought in mind—to use every ounce of his strength to resist the scream that threatened to burst forth, resounding through the heavens! It felt as if the sound was brewing deep in his throat, ready to burst forth at any moment. He knew that if he allowed that scream to erupt, the consequences would be disastrous. So, he desperately suppressed the fear and pain within him, fighting it with a strong will.
His originally broad and powerful palms were now clenched into iron-hard fists due to extreme anger. Due to excessive force, his long nails were deeply embedded in his palms, as if he wanted to vent all his anger in this way.
As time went by, the wound on the palm of his hand, punctured by his nail, grew larger, and bright red blood began to flow uncontrollably down his fingertips. One drop, two drops... soon it gathered into a small stream, gushing out like a flood, dripping straight onto the cold ground below.
The moment the crimson blood touched the ground, a slight "tick-tick" sound was heard, and then it quickly spread out, forming shocking blood flowers. These blood flowers bloomed on the gray ground, like red plum blossoms blooming in the cold winter, bright and dazzling, yet revealing endless sadness and sorrow.
Yet, even in this dire situation, he dared not slack off even for a moment. His furrowed brow, his lips pursed into a line, and his slightly trembling hands betrayed the immense pressure he endured, yet he fought to keep it from showing. He knew that if others saw him in such agony, it would not only draw strange looks and pity, but also become a vulnerable target for his opponents. So, no matter what, he gritted his teeth, buried all his pain deep within, and presented himself as a strong and fearless person.
I, a man of immense strength, never easily reveals my vulnerable side in front of others. No matter what hardships, dangers, or hardships I face, I always grit my teeth, stand tall, and project an air of resilience and invincibility. Even if my heart is riddled with wounds and scars, to others I remain the image of an invincible, unstoppable warrior. I know that revealing this vulnerable side would become a vulnerability, jeopardizing my hard-earned advantage and status. Therefore, I endure all the pain and pressure silently and alone, never letting anyone notice the slightest flaw.
Therefore, even though the pain surged like a tidal wave, threatening to devour and tear him apart, leaving him in agony and on the verge of fainting, he knew he couldn't retreat. For if he gave up, all his previous efforts would be wasted, all his efforts lost. And so, even though the pain felt like a thousand poisonous insects gnawing at his bones, like a raging fire burning every inch of his skin, causing him to sweat profusely and his body to tremble uncontrollably, he gritted his teeth and endured with all his strength.
He knew the situation was urgent and complex. If he rashly shouted at this critical moment, the consequences would be unimaginable! It might alert the enemy, allowing them to instantly locate his location; or it might upset the already fragile balance, leading to the complete failure of the entire plan. Thinking of these serious consequences, he covered his mouth tightly, fearing that even a single sound would leak out.
This isn't simply a matter of exposing our potentially fatal weaknesses; the consequences are far more severe and terrifying than we could imagine! Once the enemy discovers and exploits these fatal flaws, what awaits us is a relentless, reckless, and utterly brutal attack like a torrential storm. This attack will be not only immensely powerful but also incredibly fierce, like a flood bursting through a dam, leaving us no room for respite or resistance. The slightest negligence could lead to irretrievable destruction, a catastrophe.
If this terrifying situation were to truly occur, it would be as if an invisible, ruthless giant hand had suddenly thrust him into a bottomless, dark, and endlessly terrifying abyss of despair! From this moment on, every step he took was like dancing on the edge of a knife, and the slightest mistake would result in his death; every breath he took felt like death strangling his throat, heavy and difficult. The light of hope for survival that once seemed within reach now flickered like a candle in the wind, and could be swallowed up without a trace at any moment by the surging darkness around him. In this abyss of no return, he was alone, helpless, and lost, and the last shred of courage and faith in his heart was gradually worn away...
