Chapter 73 - Relieving Ones Hatred (2/2)

SLAP!!

SLAP!!!

He kept slapping her, keeping her awake for each and every resounding slap, and using just enough force for it to hurt, but not enough to kill. Despite Diyi's beauty and frail looking appearance, her body had been tempered and refined by a myriad of energies, and her qi-cultivation was at the initial-Qi Unification Realm, so she wasn't a weakling.

She could take this much.

After several more slaps that totaled twenty-six, one for each month that he was forced to work as a slave in those mines. ”Do you know who I am?” He asked again, this was the twenty-sixth time. However, at this point, Diyi could no longer speak, her eyes misty with blood, her teeth were either shattered within her mouth, inside her stomach with copious amounts of blood or on the floor.

Diyi didn't even try to answer, she had given up trying to answer after the seventh slap. Yan Zaizen approached, causing her body to flinch in fear and anxiousness at the pain of being slapped once more. However, Yan Zaizen didn't strike, but simply got face-to-face with her with barely two inches of space between them.

”This is who I am.”

He slowly removed his blank black mask. As he did so, he slowly revealed an appearance of handsome masculinity, light bronze skin, a head of short black hair, and bright amber eyes filled with vibrancy. Diyi would definitely not notice Yan Zaizen before, as their appearance were simply too different, but as she looked at those amber eyes, her eyes widened with shock.

She may not remember how he looked, but she remembered those lustrous amber eyes filled with vibrant light. ”Y...Y-You! YOU!!!” Her body trembled as she came to a realization. When she did, she realized that this person was a little older but also a much more handsome version of the reason she was in this predicament.

”Yes.” Yan Zaizen said, his voice filled with anger. ”I am Yan Zaizen.”

Diyi felt like she was losing her mind.

How?! How could he still be alive? How could he be so strong? Why did this happen?

Observing her reaction, Yan Zaizen felt incredibly satisfied. However, he just couldn't hold it in as he clenched his fist. This fist was filled with much of his anguish and anger during his stay in the Deep Mines, it was filled with his unpleasant memories, and he struck down harshly towards her face.

BOOM!!!

The punch nearly caved in her pretty little face, knocking her unconscious almost immediately, and slammed her violently into the wall. This time, the wall was imprinted with her outline, and several sounds of shattered bones resounded a lot deeper than before.

”Tao!” He shouted, calming his breathing and feeling liberated slightly. He could feel his Dao reaching a particular point, but he felt it wasn't yet accomplished.

Tao reacted quickly, arriving into the room, and seeing the mess filled with broken tools, tables, and filled with scattered bits of blood. Diyi's body which would have made any man fall into bedevilment was tainted with blood and deformed in shape. As for her face? There's no need to say anything else.

At this moment, Tao had already informed Yan Zaizen that he was wholly dedicated to following him. It wasn't going to be a position of partners but of subordinate and friend. Initially, Yan Zaizen didn't like this due to the time spent in the Deep Mines, but Tao was adamant on this. His words were, ”If it wasn't for you, I would've jumped off that cliff and died sooner or later. I owe you my life, and I intend to pay you back with it.”

Considering the determined gaze in his eyes, Yan Zaizen relented. Now, their relationship was similar to leader and subordinate. ”Clean her up, set her on the post and ready it. I'm not done with her yet.” He slowly walked off out the door.

Tao looked at Diyi and couldn't help but shake his head in sympathy. ”I've said it before, the one who offended a monster like him was going to be washing their neck to be claimed later. Now, let me go wash your neck.” Despite his words, he didn't feel this was undeserved. Yan Zaizen may not know her dark deeds deeply, but how could he not? Especially considering who he was before.
