Death… and me

Chapter 1489 Peerless Sword Spirit

Of course, if they were looking for someone skilled in extracting information through torture, there was a most suitable candidate available, and she happened to be one of the most skilled in this field – Mo Leier, the black magician from a previous life.

However, Mo Leier’s current identity was that of a sister-in-law, so Chu Yang couldn’t bring himself to ask her to do such a thing. Instead, they set up four walls of snow to create a separate interrogation room, and Ao Xieyun and Xie Danqiong carried the prisoner inside. Immediately, screams could be heard coming from within.

At first, the screams were accompanied by mocking and contemptuous spitting sounds, but soon, there were strange noises that could not be identified. The sound was chilling, enough to make Mo Tianji’s skin crawl. Then came the heart-wrenching screams that made anyone who heard them feel sorrowful and tearful.

Mo Tianji immediately instructed Mo Qingwu to walk away and tore a piece of cloth from his robe to plug her ears. Chu Yang and the others naturally followed Mo Qingwu and stood far away from the snow house.

After a long while, Luo Kedi had already carried Rui Butong back, but Xie Danqiong had not yet emerged. Ao Xieyun had come out seven or eight times.

The first time he came out, he nearly vomited his guts out, continuously retching until he confirmed that there was nothing left in his stomach before going back in. However, after a while, he came out again to vomit.

Seeing even someone like Ao Xieyun vomiting from what he saw, it was clear that the torture the two prisoners were undergoing was extremely brutal.

“A tough guy!” Mo Tianji sighed deeply as he looked at the snow house that was still silent. “I don’t want to humiliate someone like that, but if we don’t do this, we won’t get the information we need. There’s no other way.”

Chu Yang took a deep breath and muttered, “We’re… also doing this for survival. There are too many heroes in this world, but unfortunately, there are too many enemies among them who are against us…”

Everyone fell silent, especially Gu Duxing and Dong Wushang, who furrowed their brows in contemplation. They were not stupid and knew that Chu Yang and Mo Tianji’s words were directed at them.

After a while, the screams from inside the snow house gradually died down, but then they suddenly resumed with renewed intensity. Mo Tianji’s expression became complicated as he said, “Xie Danqiong is really ruthless. He actually gave those two an incomplete version of the Ninth Level Pill…”

After this statement, even Chu Yang shuddered. Two hours had passed.

Ao Xieyun has come out and vomited several times. Xie Danqiong finally appeared. As soon as he came out, his calm and gentle face suddenly changed, and he took a step forward and vomited wildly, tossing and turning until there was nothing left in his stomach but acid water, and even blood came out in the end… Tears flowed down his face.

Chu Yang and Mo Tianji ordered everyone to wait in place, and then they walked over quickly.

“How is it?” Chu Yang gave Xie Danqiong a pill first, then helped him exercise his energy and catalyze it before asking.

Xie Danqiong looked weak and his face was a little pale. He said in a low voice, “I found out.”

Chu Yang and Mo Tianji both felt a sense of excitement.

Then Xie Danqiong spoke slowly, and as they listened, Chu Yang and Mo Tianji’s faces became increasingly ugly. They thought they could catch a small fish here, but they never expected to catch a giant whale!

…

On the other side, the two leaders among the four white-clothed men chased the black shadow and went out fifty miles before feeling that the person in front of them was slowing down. They were about to fight when suddenly, there was a violent shaking from behind and a long whistle sounded from afar. Immediately followed by a loud rumbling sound.

“They encountered an enemy over there!”

The leader of the black-clothed masked man suddenly felt a sense of crisis and immediately stopped.

The other person asked, “What’s wrong? With the cultivation of Third and Fourth Brothers, they should be fine no matter what enemy they encounter… Even if they can’t win, they should be able to escape.”

The leader of the white-clothed man’s face became heavy and he said, “Not necessarily. What I’m worried about now is… whether we have fallen into a trap… whether the enemy is picking us off one by one…”

The other person’s face also changed.

The rumbling sound from behind grew louder and louder, as if a whole mountain was collapsing. But now they were more than a hundred miles away from the mountain pass they had left, and even if the sky was clear, it was probably impossible to see it.

“Let’s go back and take a look!” The leader of the black-clothed masked man felt restless.

“Okay!” The second man, who was equally uneasy, also felt a strong sense of foreboding that enveloped his heart.

“Let’s go!”

The two of them jumped up at the same time and were about to rush back. For this black-clothed man who had been tracked for so long, the two of them gave up at the same time.

However, they gave up, but the other party might not give up!

At this moment, a voice full of loneliness and arrogance said faintly, “Go? If you want to chase, then chase. If you want to leave, then leave. In this world, how can there be such a cheap thing?”

As they spoke, a sharp and oppressive force descended upon them, as if carrying the weight of countless years of desolation and loneliness.

Under this force, two eighth-rank supremes simultaneously felt an extreme sense of danger, as if they were being watched by venomous snakes, and goosebumps rose all over their bodies.

With this overwhelming pressure bearing down on them, if they continued walking as they had been, their backs would be completely exposed to the enemy!

In the face of such a master, revealing such a vulnerability was almost like asking to be slaughtered!

The two of them felt both regret and fear in their hearts. After chasing someone for so long, they had no idea that their opponent was such a powerful super master!

They slowly turned around and looked at the shadow in front of them, saying in a low voice, “Who exactly are you, sir?”

The shadow stood there now, still giving the two of them the feeling of being a mist! It had no form at all!

The two of them couldn’t even have dreamed that there could be such a person in the world!

The shadow sneered coldly, “Who am I? You’ve been chasing me for so long, don’t you already know?!”

Of course, the shadow was the sword spirit that had come out of the Ninth Tribulation space, and only he had the real ability to completely entangle these two people!

This was the first time the sword spirit had materialized since he left the space!

The two men in white took a few steps back at the same time, saying in a low voice, “Since you have such cultivation, you must have a name. We’re all people of the martial world, there’s no point in hiding our identities. Please be straightforward, sir.”

Sword Spirit sneered coldly and said, “Since there is no point in hiding one’s identity, then who are you two? What are your names?”

The two men were both at a loss for words. If they were willing to reveal their identities, why bother wearing masks in the first place?

Sword Spirit’s body moved slightly, and the two men were startled, thinking he was going to attack. They both put their hands on their sword hilts, and the swords rang out as they were unsheathed at the same time.

With their energy and momentum, the two eighth-rank supremes attacked together, and the snowflakes around them were cut to pieces by their sudden burst of sword energy.

Their swords, like serpents, were aimed at Sword Spirit.

Sword Spirit did not dodge, but looked desolate as he watched the two men. His eyes were indifferent.

Swish, swish!

The two swords pierced Sword Spirit’s body at the same time!

Although the two men did not know why Sword Spirit did not dodge, they could not help but feel ecstatic when they felt their swords pierce his body.

They quickly urged their true energy, and their sword energy erupted at the same time.

But then something happened that shocked them both. Their sword energy was rushing and tumbling within Sword Spirit’s body, but it was like stirring a thick fog, without any substantive feeling!

There was not even a hint of damage!

The two were almost scared to death. Had their enemy already left? Had he left behind only a shadow?

When they looked up, they saw Sword Spirit’s shining eyes, looking at them desolately with a hint of scrutiny.

The two were trembling all over and almost frozen in place!

What kind of technique was this? To allow a sword to enter his body and to let sword energy stir within his organs, but not to be affected at all, as if there was no injury?

Even though the two were both eighth-rank supremes, they were truly at a loss at this moment!

Regardless of what technique this was, what kind of cultivation was needed to be so arrogant and unrestrained?

Thinking of this, both of them almost lost their footing.

Sword Spirit looked at the two men, holding their swords tightly, and the long swords that were completely embedded in his body. He furrowed his brows and asked curiously, “Is this good?”

The two men almost wanted to cry. Was it good? You tell us if it’s good… damn it…

Sword Spirit extended a hand, which was clearly the wrinkled and fair hand of an old person. He held the edge of the sword with two injured and white fingers, and murmured, “Is this the heart? Your sword is quite interesting…”

This sword belongs to the person in white at the forefront, and with this sword, it pierced straight into the heart! This should have been a fatal blow, yet the person seemed completely unaware, allowing the long sword to remain lodged in his heart. He even said, ‘Your sword is quite interesting!’ How interesting it must be, as the person in white didn’t feel a thing, but how terrifying it must be, they experienced it deeply! Is this still a human being?

“Let go. How could such a piece of scrap metal harm me?” The sword spirit spoke with some regret.

The two individuals released their grip, staring at him in astonishment.

The sword spirit sighed and grasped the hilt of the sword, slowly pulling it out of their stomach. The blade was clear and shiny, without a drop of blood. With a snap, the sword fell onto the snowy ground. Another snap, and another sword fell, leaving the blades spotless.

Both individuals in white saw the small hole in the mysterious person’s body that had been pierced by the sword healing slowly. They groaned in pain. ‘What kind of monster have we encountered? We can’t see the body inside the clothing, but… if even the clothing can heal automatically, what more the body itself?’

“Take the sword away,” the sword spirit said with regret, as if he was disappointed that the others had failed to kill him.

The two individuals bowed like puppets and picked up the long sword, speechless. Even if the sky collapsed at this moment, the two supreme beings felt that nothing could be more surprising than what had just happened before their eyes!”
