Chapter 96 Crisis

“Aman, mom has let you down . ”

Mrs . Long was truly agonized . Aman was a good child, and even at such a time, he still didn’t have the slightest bit of resentment against her, instead actually consoling her . That made her feel even more forlorn .

If it weren’t for her own family’s schemes, she wouldn’t have implicated everyone . Looking at Aman who was on his last breaths but still acted as if he were fine, she felt as if a knife was stabbing into her heart .

“Mom, don’t be afraid . Long Chen will definitely come save us,” comforted Aman . He did his best to sit up . That way he could alleviate some of the pressure of the needles on his bones and he could be a bit more ‘comfortable’ .

“Child, it’s been hard on you . ” Each Bone Eroding Needle was a horrifying existence, and seeing them cover his body so densely caused her to cry even harder . Just how much pain had this child suffered?

“Mom, I’m fine . That b.a.s.t.a.r.d Ying Hou interrogated me, but I didn’t even know what he was talking about . In any case, I didn’t say a word, infuriating the old b.a.s.t.a.r.d,” laughed Aman .

Once Ying Hou had recovered from his wounds, he had heard that Aman had been captured . He had immediately personally gone to interrogate him alone .

He was extremely curious about Aman’s physical body . He was still in disbelief that a novice like him that hadn’t even reached Blood Condensation had been able to block his sword .

He wanted to know how Aman cultivated . However, he didn’t have Long Chen’s powerful soul . He was unable to see through the situation with Aman’s cells .

Although he did find that Aman’s body was extremely strange with only four meridians, he had a.s.sumed that it was the result of training in some sort of mysterious cultivation technique since childhood .

Ying Hou naturally wouldn’t give up a chance to obtain such a mysterious cultivation technique . Even if he couldn’t cultivate it, it would definitely be a priceless treasure if he could obtain it .

But he hadn’t expected for a kid like Aman to be so tough . He didn’t say a single word, and no matter how he hit him, he didn’t make a single sound .

He had tried all sorts of torture, in the end even using the most cruel Bone Eroding Needles all over his body . But he still didn’t say a single word .

Later, Ying Hou gradually realized that Aman’s body’s strangeness was most likely due to his const.i.tution .

Perhaps Aman’s cultivation technique was something that others would be incapable of cultivating even if they had the technique! Forcefully cultivating in it would only result in death .

The real question was just what kind of existence could block the pain of the Bone Eroding Needle? Even if you could resist one needle, who could possibly take ten of them without dying? Even a Muscle Rebirth expert would go crazy from the pain of ten Bone Eroding Needles .

Having understood that point, Ying Hou no longer bothered with Aman’s cultivation technique . He was more interested in Aman’s physical body . He wanted to see just how many Bone Eroding Needles a person’s body could take .

And that was how Aman turned into a human-shaped hedgehog . That was absolutely shocking to Ying Hou . Even being covered by the Bone Eroding Needles, he still didn’t die . His physical body was too terrifying .

It was at that time that he had been ordered to send Aman to the execution ground, and only then did he stop his torture of Aman .

“Hmph, I guess you are pretty difficult to deal with since you could survive after that many Bone Eroding Needles . I wonder if your neck will be able to stop my blade? I truly am curious,” Li Feng coldly said to Aman .

“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, just wait! Brother Long will definitely come save us!” angrily retorted Aman .

“Just keep dreaming . No matter who comes, no one will be able to save you, not even G.o.d himself . Just quietly become a ghost,” coldly sneered Li Feng . He no longer bothered with them .

A disturbance arose as a party from both the Phoenix Cry Empire and the Grand Xia Empire walked out . On the side of the Phoenix Cry Empire was the Empress Dowager along with the princes, princesses, as well as the powerful chancellors .

On the side of the Grand Xia Empire was a large, tower-like man wearing yellow robes . Behind him were there armed soldiers closely following him .

Those four all emitted a terrifying pressure . Their reserved auras seemed like volcanoes that might erupt at any moment .

The person at the front was the Grand Xia’s Emperor, Xia Youyu . He wasn’t necessarily a true expert, but the three people behind him were the Grand Xia’s peak experts . This time Xia Youyu had truly brought his entire empire’s top forces here .

The two groups stopped when they were a couple dozen steps from each other . The fourth prince was the first to walk out . Behind him were two people, one of which was Ying Hou . The other one was a slightly short, bearded man with a warhammer on his back . That was the equally famous Wu Yi who was known as the Martial Marquis, Wu Hou .

Ever since the eldest prince had been removed from his position, the Empress Dowager had supported the fourth prince to become the inheritor of the empire, making him become the new crown prince . And once the fourth prince had become the crown prince, in a thunderous strike, he had immediately captured the eldest prince’s henchmen .

He also quickly ordered Wu Hou to recall his army back to the capital to defend . They had only just managed to return when the Grand Xia’s army had arrived and encircled the capital .

The fourth prince had gone out in front of the capital and faced hundreds of thousands of the Grand Xia’s elite troops as calm as ever in order to negotiate, causing the Grand Xia’s army to pause outside the city gates, allowing them to escape having their blades wreck havoc on the city .

When the commoners inside the city saw the fourth prince’s suave and elegant manner, there were none who didn’t feel admiration . That was the kind of boldness a ruler of an empire should have .
