Chapter 812: Master, This Old Servant Is Useless!
In Tiannan, China, there was an old figure frantically fleeing in the forest near a swamp at the moment. As the figure rushed forward, countless leaves would be lifted off the ground, and a trace of blood would scatter along the way.
Plop!
In the end, the man stepped into the swamp, and his body sank like an invisible hand pulling him down.
Blergh!
The old man spat a mouthful of blood as he watched his body sink deeper and deeper. He could not help but reveal a look of despair, “Master, this old servant is useless! This old servant is useless!”
If Ye Chen was there, he would realize that the man was Yin Shi, the Thai Black Magic Master that he had subdued in Hong Kong.
At that moment, Yin Shi’s body was covered in blood. One of his eyes was covered in blood and flesh, as if it had been pierced by an arrow.
He received the news when Shang Santian descended upon Lin City and destroyed the Ye family. Therefore, he traveled thousands of kilometers to Lin City to rescue the family members, only to learn that they had already escaped.
The news made him both happy and sad. He was happy that people from the Ye family were still alive, while he was sad that Lin Tai had died in battle. The Ye family villa had been occupied by Shang Santian, and the family’s forces including the Spiritual Medicine Mountain had rebelled.
He did not dare to reveal his identity, so he disguised himself as a Thai citizen and secretly inquired about the whereabouts of the Ye family.
Other than that, he did something else.
That was to kill people from Shang Santian!
He knew that his strength was still a step away from the venerable stage, so he would usually assassinate secretly. No matter if it was to poison them or use black magic, he could be said to be completely unscrupulous.
In just two days, he had been killing maniacally. He had killed 30 Martial Dao masters, and eight beginner-stage martial venerables. He had even poisoned an intermediate-stage martial venerable.
However, he was still exposed in the end. Just half an hour ago, Shang Santian had used five Martial Dao masters as bait to deceive him.
Due to his carelessness, he had fallen into the trap that they had prepared beforehand. He managed to break out of the ambush with all his might, but even so, he still lost an eye and was severely injured.
Other than his head, the rest of his body had sunk into the swamp.
Yin Shi could not help but smile in shame, “Master, I didn’t betray you, but I was incompetent and could not avenge you or the Ye family!”
He was tired and weak. All he wanted was to die quietly and follow Ye Chen in hell.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
At that moment, a few figures suddenly shot out from the forest beside the swamp. The leader was a blind old man. It was the intermediate-stage martial venerable who had been blinded by Yin Shi.
“I was still wondering why I suddenly couldn’t see you. I thought you had grown wings and flew away, but it turns out that you’ve fallen into a swamp!”
The blind old man took a step forward and looked at Yin Shi with a faint smile, “You’re really ruthless, old man. You’ve killed many people from Shang Santian in just two days!”
Yin Shi knew that he was going to die. He could not help but sneer, “Kill me if you dare. Otherwise, as long as I don’t die, your Shang Santian will never have a day of peace!”
“Kill you?”
The blind old man laughed from extreme anger, “You’ve killed so many people from Shang Santian. Wouldn’t it be too easy for you if I let you die just like that?”
After he finished speaking, he leaped and arrived next to Yin Shi as if he was walking on flat ground. He slammed his palm into the swamp, and Yin Shi was instantly blasted flying by the enormous force of the palm.
Before he could react, two martial venerables forcefully restrained him. One of them even pointed at his sea of vital energy and crippled his cultivation base.
The blind old man waved his hand and said coldly, “Bring him back. I’ll make him beg for death!”
…
At the Ye family villa in Lin City, Tiannan of China, it had changed drastically ever since Shang Santian moved in. It was more like a torture chamber than a villa.
The reason being some members of the Star Pavilion and those related to the Ye family were captured. They were not killed. Instead, they were brought to the villa to be tortured.
The villa had five intermediate-stage martial venerables and two peak-stage martial venerables guarding it. No one in China would dare to barge in with such power.
Inside a spacious room in the villa, it was eerie and cruel as the room was filled with torture devices. Bodies were stripped and hung in the air, and there were countless wounds on their bodies.
After Yin Shi was brought back, he was also hung in the torture chamber. There were various torture devices placed before him, including a red-hot iron.
The blind old man instructed a person beside him, “Check if this old thing has any suicide items, such as poison in his teeth…”
The man walked over and forced open Yin Shi’s mouth. He took a look and said, “Senior Lin, I can’t tell if there’s poison in his teeth.”
“It’s simple!”
The blind old man fiddled with a branding iron in the fire as he said without raising his head, “Remove all his teeth and cut off his tongue!”
The man grinned cruelly. He knocked Yin Shi’s teeth into pieces and tore his tongue off. To his disappointment, Yin Shi did not scream even though he was in pain.
“You’ve got guts!”
The blind old man could not help but look at him again. Then, he took out the red-hot branding iron from the fire, “I wonder how long can you last?”
Beside him, there was a 15 or 16 year old boy who watched this scene with excitement. It was as if the scene before him was some sort of feast.
Sensing the excitement in his eyes, the old blind man’s eyes widened, before he said with a smile, “Zhao Xiaotian, I’ll give you a chance!”
Zhao Xiaotian immediately said, “Please instruct me, my lord!”
The blind old man said with a faint smile, “You shall be the one to punish this old thing. As long as you can get him to scream, I’ll get someone to teach you martial arts!”
Zhao Xiaotian was ecstatic upon hearing that, and a trace of resentment flashed past his tender features, “Alright, my lord, I’ll definitely do it!”
After saying that, he took the red-hot iron from the blind old man’s hand and walked slowly to Yin Shi, “Old thing, if you know what’s good for you, you better scream. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
He had thought that Yin Shi would not be able to speak without his tongue and teeth, but he did not expect that he would be able to speak, “I know you. Master has told me more than once to take care of you in secret. I didn’t expect you to be an ingrate.”
“Take care of me?”
Zhao Xiaotian laughed coldly, “Do you think I don’t know that Ye has ulterior motives towards me? If I’m not mistaken, he’s the same as that perverted patriarch. Both of them have their eyes on my stepmother’s beauty.”
The branding iron in his hand landed on Yin Shi’s chest. At that moment, the room was filled with black smoke and the stench of burnt flesh.
However, Yin Shi did not make a sound.
“Are you going to scream or not?”
Zhao Xiaotian looked at him with a flushed face.
However, what he got in return was Yin Shi’s disdainful gaze. He could not help but fly into a rage out of humiliation, and he once again placed a burning hot iron on Yin Shi’s body.
“Are you going to scream…
“I told you to scream!
“I don’t believe you’re made of steel!”
“…”
Half an hour later, Yin Shi had already lost his human form. His aura was fading, but he did not even scream.
On the other hand, Zhao Xiaotian was torturing him like a maniac.
This scene caused the blind old man to be slightly shocked. Obviously, he did not expect that Zhao Xiaotian would be even more ruthless than him at such a young age.
Zhao Xiaotian turned around with a malevolent expression and said, “Sir, I suggest that we use another method. We might as well cut this old fellow into a million pieces. Only then will he feel the pain of being cut into pieces…”
Just when the blind old man was about to reject, his phone suddenly rang. He could not help but pick it up. However, he heard someone stammering, “Senior Lin, M-Mad Southern Ye is here!”
The blind old man was shocked. The phone in his hand almost fell to the ground, “What? Mad Southern Ye?”
On the other hand, the three words ‘Mad Southern Ye’ that came from his mouth made Yin Shi, who was about to die, tremble all of a sudden. Then, he looked out of the torture chamber as if he was returning to his last breath.
‘Master isn’t dead, he has returned!’
Torrential tears slowly flowed from his blurry eyes, causing him to feel a piercing pain in his eyes, but he still smiled.
Zhao Xiaotian was completely stunned.
He did not expect the man to be alive!
