Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

```

"Since you're determined to seek death, don't blame me for being merciless!"

Li Shenjian looked down at several spots of fresh blood staining the white hem of his garment, his features contorting suddenly, his gaze becoming extremely fierce.

Within his eyes,

a cold light flickered uncertainly.

Li Shenjian levitated, and with a flourish of his hand, a long whip fell into his grasp.

The whip was covered with barbs.

With a fierce crack through the air, it made a snapping sound as it whipped.

Li Shenjian sneered, "This whip of mine is also known as the Soul Hook Whip. Once it hits you, the barbs will cling to your flesh and skin, and then with a violent yank, it will tear them away. That sensation is definitely going to let you experience what true agony is!"

Whoosh!

The Soul Hook Whip struck across the air, landing on Little Lin with a smack.

Just as he'd said...

The barbs of the Soul Hook Whip pierced straight into Little Lin's scales, and as Li Shenjian violently yanked back, a swath of scales and flesh was ripped off with a whoosh, causing Little Lin to stiffen and let out a howling scream.

"Little Lin..."

Yue Shanchuan's expression changed drastically, intending to save Little Lin.

But his limbs were penetrated by silver arrows, and the piercing poison on his shoulder left him immobile.

He could only watch helplessly as Little Lin suffered.

Yue Shanchuan's eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Li Shenjian, roaring furiously, "If you have the guts, come at me!"

"Don't worry, your turn will come!"

Li Shenjian's face showed hysterical madness as he watched the Soul Hook Whip tear flesh from Little Lin's body, watching Little Lin's unbearable pain, his face full of triumph and savagery, "This is just the beginning!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The Soul Hook Whip struck Little Lin time and time again.

By now, his body was covered in wounds, blood splattered extensively on the walls, rolling down the walls.

On the ground,

there were widespread sprays of blood, like rain.

The pungent smell of blood spread all around.

Little Lin howled in agony, but his gaze remained unwavering, "Come on, if you have the ability, kill me... if you can't kill me, you're nothing but a coward!"

"Motherfucker!"

Li Shenjian's face grew even darker, he snorted coldly, smiling sinisterly, "It seems I've still been too gentle. Someone, pour chili water on them!"

Hiss!

Chili water?

The onlooking civilians couldn't help but gasp in shock, their faces showing terror, "Isn't that a bit too cruel?"

"Keep it down. If Li Gongzi hears you, you might end up being considered an accomplice!"

Even a small cut stung painfully when it came into contact with chili water, let alone Little Lin and Yue Shanchuan, who were covered in wounds with no part of their bodies unharmed.

To pour chili water on them in such a state was like flaying their skin and pulling out their tendons!

Howl...

Howl, howl...

Little Lin and Yue Shanchuan couldn't hold back any longer, screaming wildly in pain.

Little Lin's body twisted frantically, his tail lashing out, thuds resounding from the walls, causing the towering walls to tremble violently as if they might collapse at any moment.

With his frenzied twisting, most of the chili water on his body was flung off, easing some of the pain.

Li Shenjian squinted his eyes, "Quite smart..."

He slowly raised his bow and arrow.

Bang, bang, bang!

Arrows flew, ten in total, each landing on Little Lin and Yue Shanchuan.

Each shoulder was pierced through their bodies.

From head to toe, they were pinned to the walls, completely unable to move.

Yue Shanchuan's hands and feet, his body was firmly nailed down.

Equally immobile.

```

Yet, Li Shenjian's archery was astonishing. Each arrow precisely avoided vital points, ensuring not to take their lives, yet causing extreme pain. Satisfied, he said, "Continue, serve our esteemed guests their dishes!"

Whoosh!

Buckets of chili water were once again dumped from the top of the city wall.

This time...

Little Lin and Yue Shanchuan were utterly unable to move and could only helplessly endure as the chili water spread from their heads to their entire bodies. Wherever the chili water touched, intense stabbing pains shot through their bodies, causing the muscles in their wounds to spasmodically twitch.

Pain!

Pain to the extreme.

Both trembled all over, writhing in agony worse than death itself!

Li Shenjian flew up in front of the two and said coldly, "Now, can you honestly tell me where Xiao Yi is?"

"Say, say your m-"

Little Lin's eyes were blood-red as he clenched his teeth and retorted.

"I, I'll say..."

Yue Shanchuan, enduring the severe pain, began to speak, and Li Shenjian smiled smugly: "That's more like it. You wouldn't have to suffer so much if you had confessed earlier!"

All the while speaking.

As he approached Yue Shanchuan, Shanchuan spat a mouthful of blood-flecked saliva in Li Shenjian's face, which slowly slid down.

"Hahaha..."

"Well done..."

Little Lin and Yue Shanchuan burst into a hearty laugh.

Li Shenjian remained motionless, as if a Binding Spell had been cast upon him.

A full ten breaths passed.

Li Shenjian calmly wiped the saliva from his face, but his eyes were colder than ever, filled with unspeakable malice. With a snap of his fingers, two Dharma Manifestation Realm experts stepped forward, and Li Shenjian said indifferently, "Skin them!"

"Yes!"

The two Dharma Manifestation Realm experts immediately approached.

"What are you doing?"

"Get away..."

Little Lin and Yue Shanchuan's faces changed drastically, powerless to stop the two men before them.

They watched helplessly as the skinners, holding knives specifically for skinning, effortlessly tore into their flesh. Starting from the head, they peeled away the skin inch by inch, causing Little Lin and Yue Shanchuan to shudder in agony.

Blood reddened their eyes.

The pain was so intense they couldn't even scream.

Bright red flesh.

The moment the skin was peeled off, it was exposed to the air.

These two were clearly experienced.

While skinning, they avoided harming vital points, forcing them to watch themselves being skinned. This terror and psychological torment far exceeded the physical pain.

Hiss, hiss, hiss...

Little Lin and Yue Shanchuan were in utter agony.

They were being skinned alive!

A scene too horrific to bear witness to.

Li Shenjian, with an expressionless face, said, "Talk, or not?"

"Say... say... say your m-" With his skin peeled off, Little Lin's body was covered in blood, even the slightest breeze causing excruciating pain.

Yue Shanchuan clenched his teeth hard, articulating each word: "You... you will get your retribution..."

"Retribution? Heh, it seems the pain isn't enough yet!"

Li Shenjian snapped his fingers and said indifferently, "Continue to pour the chili water!" He cackled wickedly, "Now that you don't have an inch of skin on your bodies, once the chili water is sprinkled on, it will seep into every piece of your flesh. I believe you'll never forget this feeling even in death..."

While saying this.

Li Shenjian looked up to the top of the city walls, where two strong men were holding up the buckets of chili water.

Just as they were about to pour it down.

But at that moment...

An icy sword light tore through the sky, and with two puffs, the heads of the two men were cleanly sliced off. Accompanied by that, came a voice as cold as frost: "Whoever harms my brothers, dies!"
