198 Whipping (1/2)

”Want to run?” Syudos didn't know how much he had struggled after being suppressed by the Blood Binding. At first, he was still able to breathe in the Magic Arrays, but when Lin Yun advanced to become a 9th Rank Great Mage, Syudos' temper completely disappeared...

The power of nine Magic Arrays completely pressured Syudos to the point where he couldn't stand up anymore. He could only let Lin Yun flatten him, and thus, Syudos spent his days in the dark, unable to resist.

Today was the first time Lin Yun released Syudos, and he finally had the opportunity to feel some happiness by making someone else suffer, so how could Syudos be kind to Xiuban?

”Good, even I can't get away, so how could you dare run?”

The Flame Shackle flashed and coiled around Xiuban. The shockingly high temperature made Xiuban scream.

”I only wanted to breathe the air outside! I swear I didn't think of running!” The Draconic Beastman looked as if he was drowning, waving his hands wildly.

But no matter how much he struggled, how could he escape Syudos? He was a genuine Upper Rank Flame Spirit. His Human Incarnation form already had the strength of a peak 9th Rank High Mage. And now that he was appearing in his Flame Spirit form, his power was on the level of an Archmage.

Xiuban was a 9th Rank Great Swordsman at best, and one who hadn't received any martial training. In Syudos' eyes, he was no different from an ant.

”Lord Syudos said that you wanted to run, you don't dare to acknowledge it?” The Flame Spirit was unable to restrain his anger and directly dangled Xiuban on the carriage, hurling raging Flame Shackles at him.

After whipping him over a hundred times, Syudos had vented some anger and felt better as he watched the blood dripping down from Xiuban's lacerated flesh. ”I shall see if you still dare to run!”

”No more… I don't dare…” The Draconic Beastman sat down in a corner of the carriage after being freed from the Flame Shackles. He was in a very pitiful state while inwardly cursing, 'Fuck, I'm not crazy enough to go for another beating…'

”Count yourself clever,” Syudos coldly snorted before transforming back into a ball of fire floating in the spacious carriage.

But Xiuban didn't dare to think that this was a harmless Light spell anymore. Syudos' lesson had almost caused the Draconic Beastman to lose his life. He didn't dare to move for the rest of the night, and each time he looked at that ball of flame, he would feel a chill in his heart.

Lin Yun recovered from his state of meditation at dawn. He took a glance at the Xiuban in the corner and saw the countless burnt marks. Lin Yun naturally understood what had happened.

”Slept well?”

”Slept very well, very well…” The Draconic Beastman's tears flew down, and he had no choice but to squeeze out a stiff smile.

”Looks like you got along with Syudos…” Lin Yun smiled and withdrew the Upper Rank Flame Spirit. He then took out a palm-sized hand-crossbow from his pocket. ”I still have to research that beast-tooth necklace and can't return it to you for the time being, so you can use this hand-crossbow for now…”

”Ah?”

”Ah what? Don't mess with it, it's poisonous…”

”You are really giving it to me?” Xiuban naturally knew that it was poisonous. One of the reasons the Highland Beastmen were known as the Rats of the Beastmen was that apart from their legendary poor ethics, they were very good at using poison. From the most common Fighter to the immoral Elders, they were all experts with poisons. As for the Witch Doctors who were regarded as the souls of the Highland Beastmen tribes, they had been exposed to poison since birth. Every drop of their blood would carry intense toxicity.

How could Xiuban, who had been born in a Highland Beastmen tribe, not recognize that this hand-crossbow used poison?

The problem was that the poison was too toxic...

Xiuban only needed to smell it from a distance to know that the toxicity of that hand-crossbow could instantly kill a magic beast over level twenty. The most frightening part was that this hand-crossbow itself carried very powerful magic properties. It could be considered as a perfect combination of poison and magic enchantment. There was even some spirituality coming from the hand-crossbow. Just by holding it in his hand, Xiuban felt incredibly powerful.

Xiuban even felt that he could defeat an Expert Swordsman without any problem.

”Wh… Why?” A shocked expression appeared on Xiuban's dark red face.
