Liang Qu fainted in the ice cellar for half an hour that day due to the pain.
The heart was more complicated; Liang Qu took nearly five days to cut it. The heart in total had five walls, which he cut over five days, pairing them with other organs, one wall per day.
However, the most challenging part was still the head.
He dared not move.

The only vulnerability of the Zenith was the head; anything else could be missed, but the head must not shatter.
He was genuinely worried that one cut might prematurely use up the once-in-sixty-years opportunity of Deadwood Spring.
Therefore, when the King of Chu attacked, he secretly sent the Third Prince to seek the Sea Master, to try to redeem his head as the highest priority, as a foolproof measure.
"Drip."
"Drip."
The sound of water persisted.
