The dull sound of bones breaking and tendons snapping echoed.
But it was soon drowned out by the piercing screams.
Qin Yi looked as if he’d been pulled from a pool of blood, his own and others’; even his hair was soaked in blood, with crimson drops sliding down the strands.
Among the hundred royal warriors, less than half were still standing, faces horrified, retreating repeatedly, none daring to strike again.
Is this guy even human? He’s more like a human-shaped fierce beast.
Qin Yi clenched his fists, eyes blood-red, roaring, "Come on, if you’re not afraid of dying, come at me."
The surrounding royal warriors retreated further, their expressions horrified.
Wei Tianlai’s old face was so sullen it was nearly dripping.
Who would have thought that over a hundred royal warriors, each a Divine Separation Stage expert, couldn’t handle someone whose cultivation had been abolished?
"Qin Yi, this is not a place to act recklessly."
After speaking, Wei Tianlai disregarded his dignity, leaned over and struck at Qin Yi, a swirling force converging into a huge, phantom hand.
With a boom, the ground within dozens of meters transformed into a spider web pattern, Qin Yi was directly engulfed.
Everyone stared wide-eyed.
Wei Tianlai’s emaciated cheek muscles trembled continuously, a person whose cultivation had been abolished rubbing the royal family’s faces in the dirt was simply a disgrace.
After a long time, the storm dissipated.
Everyone focused their gaze, all eyes intensely contracted.
On the ground where it sunk in, a huge handprint appeared, Wei Tianlai’s strike had done it, even the hard stone bricks turned to powder.
Yet at the center of the handprint, Qin Yi knelt on the ground, head bowed, hair scattered, blood dripping from the tips.
Dead?
Everyone’s hearts tightened.
Wei Tianlai’s old face subtly changed, if he’d really killed Qin Yi, he’d have to face the old emperor’s wrath.
"Heh, just this..."
Suddenly, a hoarse mocking voice rang out.
The crackle of bones sounded, making one’s teeth ache.
They saw Qin Yi’s trembling form, unbelievably slowly standing up.
He’d already been injured from the fierce battle, but Wei Tianlai’s strike made things worse, several of his bones were fractured, but now without cultivation, he couldn’t repair them.
His energy was depleted, he could barely hold on, waves of darkness crashed in, several times nearly fainting.
But still, he stood tall, disdainfully looking at Wei Tianlai, "Is that all you’ve got?"
Wei Tianlai’s old face twisted, furious beyond measure, his aura surging, suddenly raising his hand.
"Wei brother, no!"
Someone stopped him.
"Let go." Wei Tianlai sullenly said, eyes ferocious.
He didn’t believe this brat wasn’t afraid of dying?
"Wei brother, you can’t strike again. If you kill him, you can’t explain to the old emperor."
"That’s right Wei brother! It’s not worth offending the old emperor for someone like him."
"Wei brother, there’s always another day, slowly torment him, wouldn’t that be better?"
Wei Tianlai’s gaze was gloomy, but his hand lowered, it truly wasn’t worth it to offend the old emperor over such a waste.
"Come, bind him with the Binding Divine Chain, throw him into the water prison. Since he’s so ferocious, it shouldn’t matter if he doesn’t eat for a few days."
Wei Tianlai sneered, speaking slowly.
"Clatter!"
The black iron chains clashed, making a clinking sound.
Qin Yi was solidly bound with iron chains as thick as a child’s arm, and then thrown into the water prison.
Dark, damp, the light dim.
Qin Yi’s hands were locked with specially made shackles connected to black iron chains, the other end of the chains pinned to the stone wall, suspending Qin Yi mid-air.
Half of Qin Yi’s body was submerged in the icy water, only his head exposed.
Wei Tianlai stood above, looking down on Qin Yi, sneering broadly, "How does it feel? Do you still dare to act fierce?"
Qin Yi slowly raised his head, eyes in the darkness brighter than stars, slowly opening his mouth, revealing blood-stained teeth, speaking in an exceedingly calm tone:
"Remember my words, once I break free, you will all die."
Wei Tianlai’s eyes sank, mocking laughter, "Still dreaming of escape, wishful thinking."
"Kid, enjoy our hospitality, I’d hope you live until the day you break free."
"Hahaha..."
Amidst the wild laughter, Wei Tianlai left with his men.
"Fool!"
A disdainful voice from the Evil Lord echoed in Qin Yi’s mind.
"I always thought you were a smart person, but to think you’re so foolish, going head-to-head at this moment, you’ll only suffer."
Qin Yi’s body trembled slightly, cold sweat beading on his forehead.
His cultivation was sealed, unable to resist the cold water, and several bones fractured, muscles torn, the pain causing involuntary trembling.
But he retorted, snickering, "What do you know? I did it on purpose."
"On purpose?" Evil Lord ridiculed, "Purposely beaten half to death, you have quite the peculiar hobby."
"Old ghost, don’t think just because my cultivation is sealed I can’t handle you..."
"You truly can’t handle me right now."
The Evil Lord bluntly interrupted him.
Qin Yi’s gaze subtly deepened, "Indeed, I can’t do anything now. But don’t forget, if I die, you die too."
"No, you used a Divine Thought cage to seal me, it isolates the world’s Qi. If you die and your Qi dissipates, your Divine Thought disperses, I can escape."
Qin Yi fell silent, for the Evil Lord spoke the truth.
"Qin Yi, feel free to die! When I escape and I’m in a good mood, perhaps I’ll avenge you."
Qin Yi sneered, "Don’t worry, you won’t have the chance to escape. I never let others avenge me, I’ll do it myself."
"In your current condition?" The Evil Lord scoffed.
Qin Yi said indifferently, "Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Do you know why I went head-to-head with them?"
"Because you’re a masochist."
Qin Yi snorted, "Fool, would you rather be beaten once, or every day?"
The Evil Lord solemnly asked, "What do you mean?"
"If I didn’t act fiercely, didn’t fight, didn’t make them fearful. Tomorrow, the day after, every day, I’d become their human punching bag."
"Today’s actions should have left a profound impression on them. In the coming days, they won’t trouble me again."
"So, these days are my chance to escape."
The Evil Lord was silent for a while, then spoke, "Alright! I admit you did well. But, how will you escape, do you have a plan?"
"No."
Evil Lord: "..."
"So, now we’ll think together, figure out how to escape."
The Evil Lord chuckled coldly, "Why should I help you think of a way, your death is my life."
"Rest assured. If I truly die, I’ll take you with me."
"Your cultivation is sealed, you can’t do that."
"I can tell that old fart about you, I’m sure he’d be interested."
"Qin Yi..."
The Evil Lord let out a furious roar.
Qin Yi sneered, "So, if you want to live, hurry up and help me figure out a way."
