Chapter 1856: Ants Climbing a Tree

To the side, Ye Lingshan felt like she was dreaming . Even seeing that Heavenly Fate Island disciple lying there, she still couldnt quite believe it .

Long Chen kicked the disciple, saying, You said that sowing dissension is Pill Valleys specialty . So are you saying that the main culprit behind targeting the Martial Heaven Alliance is Pill Valley, while you are just accomplices?

I didnt say anything .

That disciples face had distorted from the pain . It was definitely the only spot no man could endure being struck .

Not only that, but Long Chen had sealed his meridians so he couldnt block the pain with his spiritual yuan, let alone fight back .

Oh, not bad . You have some guts . Hehe, to tell you the truth, I really like people with guts, praised Long Chen . It just so happens that Im looking for someone with bigger guts than me . I get particularly excited seeing a tough guy like you . Thank you for giving me such a chance . I hope Ill get to personally witness a courageous hero be born .

What what are you thinking of doing? Dont get any crazy thoughts . I, Luo Tianji, am one of Heavenly Fate Islands four Fate Princes . If you touch a single hair on my head- AH!

That Luo Tianji hadnt even finished speaking when Long Chen reached out and yanked a bunch of his hair out . Even part of his scalp was torn off .

Ye Lingshan jumped . Long Chens actions were too sudden . Just now, he had been smiling so brightly .

Oh, sorry, I didnt mean to interrupt you . What were you saying? If I touch a single hair on your head, what will happen? It couldnt be that youll kill me for that, right? Gosh, wouldnt I have just provoked a calamity then? asked Long Chen, feigning surprise .

Ye Lingshan was speechless . How could a peerless expert like Long Chen look like a bandit now?

However, Luo Tianjis previous actions had made it so that she felt no pity for him . Long Chen was helping her relieve her hate . As expected, evil people were best handled by evil people .

You Luo Tianji finally revealed some expression of fear .

He recalled how Long Chen was said to never submit to threats . It was due to that character that he had enemies on all sides . For Luo Tianji to have threatened Long Chen now, he could only blame himself . He finally felt fear because he had heard that Long Chen was vicious and ruthless . There was nothing in this world that he didnt dare to do .

What are the four Fate Princes? Ive never heard of them, demanded Long Chen . Did this fool think that he could threaten him in his current position?

Before Luo Tianji could answer, Ye Lingshan explained, The four Fate Princes are the top disciples of Heavenly Fate Island . The island master will eventually pick one of them to be his heir . In other words, one of the four of them will eventually become the new island master . I heard that all of them have abandoned their true names, instead taking on the name of Tianji, and using their masters surname as their surname . Since hes called Luo Tianji, his master should also be surnamed Luo . To raise a disciple on the level of the Fate Princes, his master should be on the level of the Grand Elders, with a cultivation base in the Netherpassage realm .

My master isnt just a Netherpassage expert, hes the vice island master! He controls the majority of Heavenly Fate Islands matters! shouted Luo Tianji . He was now using his own life as a bargaining chip .

He had to show that he had enough value and enough of a background to make Long Chen have some misgivings about killing him . Perhaps that was his only chance to survive .

This time, he was smarter and didnt add the part about not touching a single hair on his head . Long Chen wouldnt touch a single hair but would rip it out by the handful .

Oh, how amazing . Ive been rude . Since youre such a big figure, things are easier . Originally, I was worried that you wouldnt know much information, but now Im at ease . Heres the first question . Are the people targeting the Martial Heaven Alliance backed by the full power of Pill Valley? asked Long Chen .

I dont-

Just as Luo Tianji tried to say that he didnt know, Long Chen slapped him across the face . His skin instantly split open, and half his teeth fell to the ground . Long Chens ability at slapping out teeth was very sharp .

Long Chen, you know my status! If you kill me, you know the consequences! roared Luo Tianji .

Kill you? No, I wont kill you . Long Chen shook his head .

Hearing this, a trace of joy appeared in Luo Tianjis eyes, but he suppressed it .

Long Chen acted like he hadnt seen anything and continued, I just want to see if the possible future island master is a true courageous hero . After saying that, Long Chen took out a bucket . Lingshan, youre in for a treat . Ill show you the eighteen Ironman tortures I learned from the jailers of the Phoenix Cry Empire .

What are the eighteen Ironman tortures? asked Ye Lingshan .

Long Chen smiled brightly . In the Phoenix Cry Empires prisons, there are three hundred and sixty forms of torture for the convicts . The tortures are split into different ranks, low, medium, high, and Ironman . It is said that the Ironman tortures are so great that even a man made of iron would open his mouth during them . Ive heard that no one can endure all eighteen tortures, but I refuse to believe it . In the Phoenix Cry Empire, everyone is a mortal and isnt skilled in cultivation . They will barely survive a single one . But cultivators have great life force and wont die so easily . Thats why I also want to see if a person can survive all eighteen tortures . If such a person exists, they are truly worthy of being called a hero, and I will respect them .

Then up until now, has anyone survived them? Ye Lingshan caught on and began to cooperate .

Its very regretful, but no one has lasted through more than ten, sighed Long Chen . However, he quickly looked at Luo Tianji, causing a bad premonition to rise in the latters heart . However, perhaps I might succeed today . Oh, grand Fate Prince, I hope you wont disappoint me .

Long Chen began to encourage Luo Tianji as he arranged a stove on the ground . He placed the iron bucket on top of it and opened a hole .

Lets start the first Ironman torture: ants climbing a tree, said Long Chen .

Ants climbing a tree? That sounds quite interesting, said Ye Lingshan .

Of course . In the Phoenix Cry Empire, the jailors would catch a few hundred fire ants and toss them in a bucket . The convicts would be bound to the barrel, their butt facing the opening . They would then seal the other side and raise the heat . The fire ants would go crazy from the heat and want to escape . There was only one exit, but it was covered by that persons butt . As a result, those little fellows would think of some way to get out . Lingshan, let me tell you, Ive heard that some of the amazing fire ants are able to crawl out through peoples mouths . I dont know if its true or not, but hopefully well be able to see today . Just wait here . I saw a group of fire ants when I first entered . They looked very strong and are probably a special variation . They were as thick as a finger . Ill catch them now . Grand Fate Prince, hopefully youll give me a good display . Long Chen began to leave .

Ye Lingshan had originally felt the name to be quite interesting, but from his detailed explanation, she shivered . At first, she had thought that cutting Luo Tianji into pieces would be the only way to resolve her hatred, but now she was starting to sympathize with him .

Having fallen into Long Chens hands, he was doomed . Based on Long Chens character, his goal wasnt to play with him, but to play him to death .

You city people really know how to play, sighed Ye Lingshan . She had been born in a poor area . Killing people for their wealth was common . However, today Long Chen was opening her eyes to the world .

Wait wait a moment! shouted Luo Tianji with terror .

Wait for what? I wont permit you to go back on our deal . I rarely admire experts, and if you back out, my admiration might turn into rage, said Long Chen .

I I Luo Tianji didnt know what to say .

I what? Dont worry, those fire ants are very close . I wont make you wait too long .

No senior apprentice-brother Long Chen daddy Long Chen grandpa Long Chen great ancestor Long Chen, I submit . Please, let me go . Ill tell you whatever you want to know, pleaded Luo Tianji . He was broken . He didnt want to die, but Long Chens techniques were worse than death .

Thinking of those fire ants entering his body, let alone experiencing it, just thinking about it was unbearable .

He regretted entering the Yin Yang World . How had he been so unlucky to encounter a Yama King in such a large place?

Long Chen, ask! said Ye Lingshan upon seeing him hesitate .

Compared to asking questions, Id rather see that display . Im at a loss, said Long Chen .

Ye Lingshan was speechless . Long Chen truly was a demon king . Even she didnt know if he was trying to scare Luo Tianji or if he really wanted to torture him .

Its fine, we should have a chance afterwards! So Ill ask first, and if you lie, we can continue playing ants climbing a tree, said Long Chen .
