Chapter 794 - A Tragic (1/2)
“Tell me. Where are those two people now?”
Elder Zheng was grim-faced, staring coldly at Hu Qingsong as if he was interrogating a prisoner.
“I do not know.”
Hu Qingsong said, shaking his head. “I only met them by chance. They are not even my friends, so how would I know where they went?” he added.
“You do not know?”
A cruel look flashed across Elder Zheng’s face. Ominously, Inner True Force burst from his palms, forming a long whip of shimmering energy, and he lashed Hu Qingsong mercilessly.
THWACK!
Hu Qingsong wailed in agony as the energy-charged whip ripped across his chest, leaving a long lash mark that looked like a knife had sliced through his flesh. The wound started bleeding profusely, and in excruciating pain, Hu Qingsong groaned loudly again.
“Supervisor Hu!”
Watching his supervisor being tortured while he helplessly watched without being able to could do anything made Luo Jinshi feel anguished.
“Do not worry. I am okay,” Hu Qingsong said as he smiled weakly at him.
Wearing a nasty scowl on his face, Elder Zheng asked again, “Where are they?”
He sounded stern and impatient.
Hu Qingsong looked at him impassively, then shook his head again, and said, “I do not know where they are. I have already said that we only met…”
THWACK!
Elder Zheng whipped Hu Qingsong again before the latter could finish his sentence. The sound of the whip touching his body was horrific enough to freeze anyone’s blood.
“ARGHH!”
Hu Qingsong cried out loudly. Another vivid lash mark appeared on his body, and this time the wound was so deep that it exposed his bones.
Elder Zheng’s eyes glowered viciously, and he looked as if he wanted to kill Hu Qingsong. “This is the last time I am asking you. Where the hell are they?”
“N-no… no… idea,” Hu Qingsong said with great effort.
Elder Zheng narrowed his eyes, and he was exceedingly angry. “Very well… Very well… Very well”
He repeated those words slowly in a cruel and sinister tone. Then, he lashed his whip at Hu Qingsong repeatedly, brutally ripping into the flash of the man tied-up. The skin broke open at each strike and his body covered him with blood, and it was a disturbing and frightful sight.
“Hiss!”
The disciples of the Mu City Academy watching the punishment could not help but gasp. They felt sorry for Hu Qingsong.
“Elder Zheng is cruel indeed. Is he going to beat Hu Qingsong to death?”
“Hush. Be careful. Don’t cause any trouble for yourself.”
“You are ignorant. Elder Zheng is a powerful person. His reaction is normal and understandable. Think about it. Would he still be respected if he did not act after his relative was assaulted? We would deem him a coward!”
“Exactly. Elder Zheng is a dependable person. Besides, Hu Qingsong is useless and his life is worthless. I could not care even if he dies. The academy can even save more food.”
“I am with Elder Zheng!”
Most disciples chose the side of Elder Zheng as he was an influential personality in the academy.
The other supervisors were standing in the outer circle. They felt upset watching Elder Zheng punish their fellow supervisor so brutally, even though they looked down on Hu Qingsong for being the only one at the Martial Spirit level.
