Chapter 61 - Vicious and Merciless (1/2)

13 Comments

Lin Zezhi involuntarily shuddered. He couldn’t help but turn around to look at Lin Xuanzhi, but all he saw was an aloof and magnificent-looking Lin Xuanzhi stand within this law enforcement hall. His expression was rather apathetic, as if he was merely watching a show.

Yet his heart was even more vicious than his!

And, to be this merciless!

Dread suddenly filled Lin Zezhi’s heart. Whatever he had known about Lin Xuanzhi before this moment had all been overturned in an instant!

Was this still that aloof and distant Lin Xuanzhi who never bothered to get even with others?

No, this is a devil clothed in human skin.

However, even if Lin Xuanzhi had turned into a devil, he’s still a devil acknowledged by Master.

Lin Zezhi took a deep breath, then looked at the guard and ordered in a cold and loud voice, “Go and grab that guy for me, and since he loves to eat Five Yuan rice, then we’ll force all these Five Yuan rice down his throat until he’s full!”

“Yes!” The guards shouted, then they walked in sync towards Steward Zhang.

Five Yuan rice is indeed good for the body. It contains a considerable amount of spiritual Qi so cultivators could reap significant benefits after they consume it.

However, Five Yuan rice is not easily digested. Especially for someone like Steward Zhang who was a mere Refining Qi stage first layer cultivator, he only needed to eat one small bowl of Five Yuan rice to meet his absorption quota for the day.

Handfuls of Five Yuan rice were forcefully stuffed into Steward Zhang’s mouth.

“Save me wu……save wu……coughcoughcough!” Steward Zhang incessantly made vomiting noises. He wanted to puke out the Five Yuan rice that he had consumed, but those guards didn’t even gave him the slightest opportunity to do so.

This type of pure Five Yuan rice was really hard to swallow, being force-fed with handfuls of it would be a kind of arduous torture for anyone. Towards the end, Steward Zhang’s stomach had been filled to the point of bursting by the spiritual Qi within the Five Yuan rice and looked like a mortal woman who was ten months pregnant. He clutched his throat and wanted to puke the rice out, but how could one easily puke out what had already been swallowed into the stomach! Steward Zhang thus rolled about on the floor in utter agony while he let out gurgling sounds; his eyeballs almost popped out of its sockets as they glared at Lin Zezhi一this was the only son of the Madam Bai whom he had called his master, his young master!

Yet, it was this person who had personally given such a vicious order!

He hates him!

But it’s a pity that this hatred was no longer of any use.

An excess of Five Yuan rice was being digested in his stomach, its spiritual Qi rapidly dispersed within his body. His muscles, tendons and flesh that couldn’t withstand such a huge amount of Qi was gradually being forced to the brink of rupture.

Blood began to pour out of Steward Zhang’s seven orifices1; he was evidently being subjected to an arduous, drawn-out torture; like a frog that was slowly being boiled in warm water2 — he was dying slowly, but surely.

Steward Zhang’s wails of anguish reverberated throughout the spacious law enforcement hall; the crowd that was spectating this scene — not one of them managed to keep a straight face as they went numb with shock.

Lin Yurou turned away as she couldn’t bear to continue looking at the scene that was unfolding in front of her. She felt that Lin Xuanzhi was really too malicious, so much so that it scared people witless.

Yan Tianhen’s little face turned pale. He didn’t know why, but when he saw the miserable look of despair on Steward Zhang’s face, a strong wave of sorrow that made him want to cry washed over him.

But…but he didn’t pity this Steward Zhang at all!

Yan Tianhen shuddered, then retreated backwards while his body trembled slightly.

“Ah Hen, do you feel uncomfortable?” Lin Xuanzhi felt the grip on his sleeve tighten, and he heard the breathing of the person beside him become more and more irregular, so he immediately turned around to ask in a concerned voice.

Yan Tianhen forced out a weak smile, then said, “Dage, I…I don’t want to continue looking any longer. Let’s leave this place, okay?”

Lin Xuanzhi was worried that Yan Tianhen would recall his memories from his past life, so he didn’t want to let him stay for too long either. Also, he had already achieved his goal of intimidating the Lin family’s people, so he stretched out his hands to pull Yan Tianhen into his embrace and said in a gentle and soft voice, “Ah Hen, we’ll leave right now, don’t be scared.”

Yan Tianhen nodded, then leaned into Lin Xuanzhi’s embrace like he was yearning for its warmth.

Quite a few people caught sight of this scene: some of them felt envious, while others had other ideas.

Lin Xuanzhi said to the guards next to him, “I’ll leave him to you guys.”

The guard immediately replied, “Xuanzhi young master need not worry, we’ll definitely watch over this wicked servant until he’s thoroughly dead before throwing him out.”

After Lin Xuanzhi brought Yan Tianhen and left, the other people didn’t stay for much longer and began leaving one after the other.

Even though they didn’t see how Steward Zhang would end up, the scene they had witnessed had already left an incomparably deep impression and shock in everyone’s minds.

Too terrifying.

Such calculated schemes had actually been derived by a young man who was barely past the age of 17.

From the beginning to the end, Lin Xuanzhi had never explicitly stated how he wanted to deal with Steward Zhang, yet someone had already done all the dirty work for him. And he had even made Steward Zhang’s master personally inflict the punishment!

Also… there were several thousands way to die, but the way Steward Zhang died…could be considered one of the most inhumane one.

Putting aside how painful it must feel to gradually have your meridians be filled to the brink of rupture by spiritual Qi, just the prolonged amount of time the person is subjected to torture would make one shudder.

This kind of lingchi3-like torture would last for at least a day or two, or even longer. This is because even though Five Yuan rice does have spiritual Qi, it contained such Qi in minute amounts.

Without a doubt, Lin Xuanzhi had exerted his dominance over the Lin family.

From then on, amongst the people of his generation in the Lin family, none would dare to arbitrarily provoke Lin Xuanzhi.

Lin Zezhi was the last one to leave.

He looked at Steward Zhang’s pathetic state, then coldly said, “This can be considered as you courting your own death; you were unlucky to have encountered Lin Xuanzhi right as he was regaining his influence.”
