Chapter 202: Suppressed for a long time
They flowed along the contour of the forehead, some quickly slid over the eyebrows and dripped into the eyes, bringing a stinging pain; some slid down the cheeks, gathered into a small stream at the chin, and finally dripped to the ground, splashing faint water.
Beads of sweat, the size of beans, oozed from his forehead one by one, gathering into streams like a flood bursting through a dam. The sweat flowed down his resolute cheeks like winding rivers, completely soaking through his thin clothing in the blink of an eye. The clothing clung tightly to his torso, clearly outlining his powerful muscles and the slightly rising and falling contours of his chest, drawing attention.
The rain-soaked clothing clung tightly to his body, as if fused to him, inseparable. Every drop of rain flowed down the fabric, gathering into small streams that soaked the ground beneath his feet. Through the soaked fabric, one could clearly see the outline of his body, trembling with intense pain.
His body was slightly hunched, his muscles tense like a drawn bowstring, as if straining to resist the onslaught of pain. His shoulders shook like branches swaying in the wind, his hands clutching the hem of his clothes tightly, his fingertips turning white from the exertion. His legs gave way, barely able to support his shaky frame, but he remained stubbornly standing, refusing to collapse.
Watching this heart-wrenching scene, people couldn't help but feel a surge of sympathy. It was as if they could sense the immense pain he was enduring, and they wanted to rush forward immediately to offer him a little warmth and comfort.
His once upright frame seemed to be gripped tightly by a mysterious and powerful invisible force from the underworld, completely losing control of himself. This force was like a ferocious and violent beast, wantonly tossing his fragile body and causing him to tremble violently.
At first, the trembling was just a slight shiver, but soon it became like surging waves, crashing through his entire body, wave after wave. His limbs twitched uncontrollably, his muscles tensed to the extreme, and every tremor seemed to tear his bones apart. His teeth chattered, knocking back and forth with a terrifying sound. Even his eyes were wide open, the whites of his eyes bloodshot, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.
The tremor started as a slight shiver, but soon evolved into a near-mad, convulsive shaking. Every muscle and nerve seemed to lose control, as if being manipulated by an invisible force. This shaking was not localized but whole-body, from head to toes, leaving nothing untouched.
It was as if every cell in the body felt an unprecedented fear and threat. They ceased to function individually and were plunged into a collective panic. These cells began to stir in disorder, colliding and squeezing each other, transmitting signals of unease and terror. The entire body became rigid and twisted, like a machine on the verge of collapse.
Every muscle in his body tensed at that moment. Those sharply defined, iron-hard muscles seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, constantly contracting and tightening, like a bowstring stretched to its limit! The bowstring was already under immense tension, and it seemed as if even the slightest bit of force would cause it to snap. The sight of this extreme tension was terrifying.
This tension is distinct from the normal muscle contraction caused by exertion. It's more like an instinctive stress response, originating deep within the body, triggered by extreme pain. It's like being suddenly caught in a violent storm, all strength instantly drained away, leaving only taut nerves and muscles struggling against the waves of agony. Every fiber is stretched to its limit, every muscle trembles involuntarily, as if trying to break free from the endless torture, but unable to do so. This tension isn't limited to a single area; it spreads throughout the body like a plague, leaving the entire body feeling tightly bound by an invisible force, unable to move an inch.
Those once soft and resilient muscle fibers underwent a startling transformation. As if manipulated by a mysterious force, they gradually lost their original flexibility and vitality, becoming imperceptibly hard, like steel. Every muscle fiber tensed, as if straining to resist the intense pain emanating from deep within. Yet, this resistance seemed futile, powerless. Despite their utmost effort, the agonizing pain was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; their efforts were powerless, unable to stem the tide of pain.
It felt like countless venomous insects were frantically gnawing at every inch of his skin, every muscle, even deep into his bones! The horrifying pain was like a surging, boundless tide, pouring over him with overwhelming force. Wave after wave, each higher than the last, relentlessly assaulting his already fragile nerve defenses.
These waves of pain seemed to never stop, they kept coming one after another, endless. Every impact made him tremble all over and sweat dripped; every burst of pain was like lightning across the night sky, instantly illuminating the most fearful and despairing corners in his heart.
The pain was like surging ocean waves, crashing through his body one after another. Its intensity was beyond imagination! He felt as if every inch of his skin was being tightly grasped by an invisible giant hand, then ripped apart mercilessly; and each of his hard bones felt like they were placed under a giant steamroller, being ruthlessly crushed and destroyed.
The pain penetrated his bones, becoming almost unbearable. Each time the pain struck, he trembled uncontrollably, his body curling up in agony. Even the most basic act of breathing became incredibly difficult, as if a heavy burden weighed on his chest. Each inhalation required him to exert all his strength, barely drawing in a thin breath of air. The feeling of suffocation was ever-present, threatening to consume him completely at any moment.
