285 Successfully Broken Down (1/2)
The process of interrogation was but a mundane process of question and answer!
”How ... how much more spiritual matters like this do you have?” Jiang Zhong asked in a hoarse voice. He knew that couldn't hold on much longer. The only hope was that there were not much of such magical items that could recovery left.
”No more, this is the last one.”
Yun Yang replied gently, ”As long as you hold on this time, you can die! Isn't that good news? Do you look forward to it? Work hard and persevere! You will win if you keep at it!”
Jiang Zhong spat in contempt.
He had said the same thing the last time he asked him.
Despite Jiang Zhong's deepest wish to let it all go, Yun Yang took out the treasure again, mindlessly using it as if he did not mind wasting such a precious spiritual item on a captive!
How many more times would he still able to repeat the process from life to death and vice versa to himself?
How long would he be able to sustain himself under such a desperate and hopeless situation?
Jiang Zhong was at his wit's end as to what to do.
”What exactly do you want to know?” uttered Jiang Zhong desperately, ”As long as you promise to give me a clean death, I will say it!”
”What I want to know is too much. Even if you are willing to say it, you have to waste a lot of time. However, you should not waste any time now!”
Yun Yang reached out his hands, ”How can you not understand? How many more of such precious spiritual items are there in this world? How much more could I possibly have? Maybe if you hold on this time, there’s no need for you to say anything in order to die. Jiang Zhong, let’s start all over again. If you do not like the picking of tendons and breaking of bones, we will then start with the burning and corrosion of meridians. You just have to endure it, you wouldn't want to disappoint me would you?”
”I will tell! I will tell! I will tell everything!”
Once the wall of defense had been broken, his instinct for self-preservation had kicked in. Jiang Zhong was struggling desperately, miserably crying out, hoping to end this extremely cruel process. Ignoring his wailing, Yun Yang once again placed his hands on him.
Jiang Zhong cursed, furiously and desperately. Yun Yang remained indifferent and continued to keep showcasing his art of torturing people, step by predictable step. This time it really began with the burning of meridians.
However, the pain suffered by Jiang Zhong seemed to surge ten-fold!
He screamed miserably, begging, cursing. His psychological defenses had completely collapsed, making him no different from an ordinary prisoner!
It was even worse than with an average person. His psychological defenses had been totally exhausted, feeling as if his previous insistence were all in vain. The mental fatigue that had been accumulated before this came crashing down.
Jiang Zhong had completely broken down!
This time, he had been tortured to the brink of death...
Muddle-headed, a surge of spiritual life force bloomed expectedly.
”Don’t... don’t ... don’t ...” Jiang Zhong desperately kept his mouth shut, trying to eradicate the indoctrination of the vital energy. However, Yun Yang pinched his nose and after a while, Jiang Zhong involuntarily opened his mouth.
It was still the same, concentrated air of vitality, entering into his body as always, repairing his meridians bit by bit so that his body would revert to a state of rapid recovery.
However, Jiang Zhong's true fear was for such swift healing!
He could no longer stand it.
”I will tell!”
”I will tell everything you ask!”
”I will really tell it, tell it all, please, stop torturing me!”
Jiang Zhong bawled and blubbered uncontrollably.
He had thought that he would never shed tears for all his life. How could there be tears by having an iron heart?
However, he now bawled until he had mucus and tears all over his face.
”Jiang Zhong, you're a ninth peak pinnacle high-leveled cultivator!”
Yun Yang frowned, and uttered, ”How can you not have the dignity as a cultivator? How can you give in so quickly under a little torture? Aren't you a self-proclaimed person with tough bones? What a shame to ninth peak cultivators!”
Jiang Zhong squalled even more loudly this time.
When did I say that I had tough bones?
However, I never thought that my bones would be so weak!
However, no matter how tough the bones are, how could one sustain such repetitive torture?
The young master Yun before him, who was also Supreme Wind, was definitely a madman!
”Why don't you keep on persevering? Don’t tell and don’t give up your dignity as a high-level cultivator!”
Yun Yang whispered softly, ”At least allow me to try it once again. I promise you, as long as you can hold it for this time, you can die. I do not have these kinds of spiritual elixir anymore. This was the last, alright?”
Those hands could be seen stretching over him again.
”Don’t!”
Looking at that pair of fair hands, Jiang Zhong felt as if he was witnessing a poisoned snake, desperately he shrank away as he uttered,” I will tell! I will tell... …not anymore ... ...”
”I am not Jiang Zhong, I am Jiang Zhong’s twin brother, Jiang Cheng. I am not Jiang Zhong! Last time, acting on the orders of the tower master, I sneaked into the palace and killed my own brother Jiang Zhong and have pretended to be him ever since.”
”I entered the palace thirty years ago. I did a lot of things. A lot of things ...” Jiang Zhong had totally broken down. As soon as Yun Yang's hand stretched over him, he began to narrate the things that he had done, at an extremely fast pace!
He was terribly afraid.
He was afraid that if he was to tell it slowly, the devil would begin to torture him again!
”I killed Concubine Li and her family. I also took care of the Royal Chef Eunuch Du. I ... had a hand in the poisoning of Yu Peize as well. I was responsible for one of the crucial parts...also, the death of the Ninth Prince was because of me.”
”I've also done ...”
”The affairs involved the Nine Supremes. I had participated in it, I was responsible for ...”
”Fu Baoguo had been misled. I tricked him into getting in touch with Supreme Lord Spring Frost, and then executed the Art of Soul Shifting, several times in a row, the process was ... ”
