28 Tension in the air (1/2)

For several days, Zao Tian spent all possible time focusing on meditation. The whips he suffered daily did not cease at any moment.

Zao Tian could not feel a single trace of the spiritual energy of the universe. He just stopped meditating when he needed food, other physiological needs, and of course, when Huolong Ji arrived.

The damage to Zao Tian's body healed much faster than before. But the scars of the various lashes were still imprinted on his body.

The pain in his body, though it had greatly diminished, was still extremely difficult to tolerate. This often became a major obstacle for Zao Tian, ​​who needed to achieve a state of extreme relaxation.

Four days after ...

It was only seven days before the end of Zao Tian's punishment, and he went into a much deeper state of meditation. Although he still does not feel the spiritual energy of the universe, Zao Tian made a great advance in meditation.

He entered a state that left him totally immune to visual and auditory stimuli. Anything that anyone did before him or any external sound did not affect his meditation at all. Unless someone shook or hit Zao Tian, ​​nothing would hinder him.

It was a day like any other day. Hulong Ji was already getting ready to go downstairs. He had spent the last few days investigating what happened to the spiritual energy that existed in the Department of Punishment. After several unsuccessful attempts, the only joy he had in those days was when it came time for Zao Tian's punishment.

Huolong Ji descended the stairs to the basement while singing a song. He swung his whip from side to side as if warming. Each time the whip was swaying, a vast amount of scraping lard could be clearly seen.

Dwarfed by the happiness of that moment, Huolong Ji opened the cell with extreme happiness. He then stood before Zao Tian and laughed cheerfully as he said, ”Hihihihihi ... Where is my favorite Junior? Let's have fun? Hihihihihi ... ”

But this time, unlike before, Zao Tian did not respond or looked at Huolong Ji. Not that he did not want to, it was just that Zao Tian was totally disconnected from the outside world. That made Huolong Ji furious.

People like Huolong Ji felt pleasure in seeing the suffering of others. The screams of pain and the glares of suffering brought deep happiness to this kind of sadist. When Zao Tian did not respond, it fueled a tremendous fury in his heart.

”WAKE UP!” Hulong Ji yelled before continuing: ”IF YOU DO NOT WAKE UP ... I WILL INCREASE YOUR PUNISHMENT YET!”

Even with Huolong Ji's screams of fury, Zao Tian remained the same.

Feeling completely ignored, Huolong Ji burst out: ”DRUM SMELL! YOU'RE LEAVING ME HARD! THERE IS NO PLEASURE SOME IN HITCHING A CORPSE! IF YOU DO NOT SHOW ME THAT FACE OF PAIN ... I ... I'LL KILL YOU NOW! ”

Zao Tian: ”...”

Once again, Huolong Ji received no answers.

The fury of that fat man had finally reached its limit. He gripped the whip firmly in his hands; and began channeling spiritual energy and transferring it to the whip. A layer of spiritual white energy covered the entire surface of the whip ... The whip then became fully serrated. Each tooth of spiritual energy that covered the whip was extremely sharp. A single blow from that whip could leave Zao Tian in the middle.

”SUCK ... AFTER I WILL HAVE TO SOLVE THAT QUESTION WITH YE ZUO ... BUT HIS PUNISHMENT IS NOW DONE! I WILL DIVIDE YOU IN LOTS OF PARTS! ”Huolong Ji screamed as he huffed with rage.

Even so, there was no response from Zao Tian ...

Huolong Ji swung the whip back and prepared to perform the final stroke.

”DIE!” Huolong Ji snorted.

The coup began to be executed; the whip began to cut through the air as it made a terrifying sound ...

* Brrrrrr ... *

The whip, which was heading toward Zao Tian, ​​stopped abruptly.

* Brrrrr ... Brrrrr ... *

The entire punishment department began to shake. In the basement, the dust from the roof began to fall on Huolong Ji and Zao Tian.

Hulong Ji looked up, with the feeling that something strange was happening. Those tremors were definitely not normal.

* Brrrrrr ... Brrrrr ... *

The tremors continued evenly, if one calculated the time between each tremor, he would find that it was exactly the same.

At that moment, one of the guards of the Department of Punishment went downstairs and, with a startled look, called Huolong Ji.

”Elder ... O ... You must come up soon ... Something ... It's coming in the direction of the Department of Punishment!”

Huolong Ji glanced quickly at the guard.

”What do you mean, anything? What's coming? ”

”Elder ... We still do not know! It's still a long way off and ... Even being so far away ... Whatever it is that's coming ... That's causing those earthquakes! ”The guard said slowly, his face filled with astonishment.

At that moment, Huolong Ji had already completely forgotten about Zao Tian. The whip in his hand returned to its original form and soon after, Huolong Ji hurried out.

Exterior of the Department of Punishment ...
