842 A Wicked Person Will Be Harassed by his Kind (2/2)
”What's the matter? You still don't want to admit it?” the mysterious shadow asked teasingly.
He was getting him to confess under torture. Yang Gongcheng had used this method on Wan'er and Wang Qian. Who would have imagined that it would be used on himself so soon?
”I… I… admit.”
The inhumane pain caused Yang Gongcheng to be unable to speak properly. Every word he spoke took considerable effort. Right now, his mind was blank. He only had one thought in his mind, and that was to die. As long as he could die, he was willing to admit to anything. He only wanted to die.
The people in the square all took a sharp intake of breath. Everyone could see that Yang Gongcheng was in such extreme pain that dying was better than living.
”If you had admitted it sooner, you could have spared yourself some pain,” the mysterious person stated plainly. At the same time, he waved his hand and Yang Gongcheng's body flew up.
”Since you admitted to stealing my things, you can die.”
With a rumble, Yang Gongcheng's body instantly exploded in mid-air. It was as if a watermelon had been crushed under one's feet. Blood rained down and splattered everywhere. The leader of the Baili Sect had ended up dying in such a manner, all because he had been too presumptuous.
The members of the Baili Sect turned pale one by one. They looked at the mysterious shadow in horror. He had killed their dignified sect leader just like that. How would the rest of them walk out of here alive?
”I have already spared your lives once. However, none of you have shown any signs of repentance. It seems that I have been too merciful toward you.”
The mysterious shadow slowly looked towards Cheng Zongping as well as the group of Baili Sect sect grand elders. Almost all the members of the Baili Sect that appeared in the forest that day were here.
Cheng Zongping's expression was pale. He was very cruel to others, but he was fearful for his own life. He never imagined that death would be standing so close to him. When the sect leader was killed right before his eyes, he realized that this mysterious person would actually kill people.
”Good sir, please spare us!”
With a plopping sound, a few members of the Baili Sect were so scared that they knelt down on the ground and prostrated themselves non-stop before the mysterious shadow.
Fu Yu was down on the ground. She bawled her eyes out and screamed all sorts of regrets. She claimed that everything she did was at the bidding of Yang Gongcheng and that she was also a victim.
The group of Five Tigers Sect members looked at each other. Who would have thought that the Baili Sect, which had been prestigious for so many years, would end up like this?
”Everyone who took part in the operation to ambush the Five Tigers Sect in the forest that day, cripple your own cultivation or die,” the mysterious person said. He did not simply kill people. However, he was not prepared to let these people go.
The expressions of the members who took part in the forest operation changed drastically when they heard him say this. Crippling their own cultivation was a price that they were not willing to pay.
”What's the matter? Do you have any objections?” the mysterious shadow asked plainly.
”Senior, you are kind and merciful. Could you please spare our lives?” a Baili Sect sect grand elder pleaded with an ugly expression. That day, he had taken part in the operation. This was his second encounter with this mysterious person.
Humph!
The mysterious shadow did not say anything but merely snorted coldly. The next moment, a mass of blood mist exploded in the square. The Baili Sect sect grand elder that had spoken instantly exploded, disintegrating into dust on the spot. No one knew how the Baili Sect sect grand elder had died.
”I have already spared your lives. How else do you want to live?”
A terrifying storm swept through the entire square. Everyone suddenly fell silent out of fear. For a moment, the square descended into complete silence.
The eyes of Cheng Zongping, who had not spoken all this while, suddenly shone with a look of viciousness and madness. He grabbed the Baili Sect elder beside him and threw him towards the mysterious shadow. Then, he furiously stomped on the ground and shot up to the sky like an arrow leaving the bow as he flew towards the foot of the mountain with all his might.
Asking Cheng Zongping to cripple his cultivation was the same as killing him. Without his cultivation, he would certainly not live more than three days. It was because he had too many enemies.
The mysterious shadow stood motionless on his original spot. He did not even look at Cheng Zongping, seemingly allowing him to flee.
However, Cheng Zongping had only traveled a short distance when he suddenly came to a stop. He also suddenly exploded and like the Baili Sect sect grand elder before him, disintegrated into dust and became a bloody mist.
The group of Baili Sect members looked at each other, their horror reaching its peak. Their eyes were full of despair, especially those who had participated in the forest ambush operation.
Against such dominance that they could not resist, they had no choice but to cripple their own cultivation and silently leave the Five Tigers Sect. From this day onwards, they would no longer be ancient martial art practitioners. Who would have thought that they would leave in such a fashion after having come in such high spirits?
”Senior, please do not let Fu Yu, this malicious woman, go.” Wan'er had suddenly run out and blocked the path of the escaping Fu Yu.
