They weren't the worst of their master's secret guards. They were just those of medium skill among many.
"What? Are you two getting angry just because I said a few words? Am I not telling the truth? Seriously, in this day and age, one can't even speak the truth." After saying that, the speaker looked regretful.
"You're asking for death!" The three men below were completely enraged. They forgot that there were supposed to be two of their opponents, but at this moment, there was only one. They didn't even think about where the other one was.
The men leaped into the air, ready to teach Yuan Yuhan a lesson. But unexpectedly, just as they activated their light - body skills, they were knocked to the ground by something.
They lay on the ground in a sorry state, glaring at the person in the dark. They had been careless and fallen into their trap!
"Despicable! Shameless! Scoundrels!" They had actually been drugged!
Jing Xunchè stepped out of the dark. He didn't care about what they said. He just ignored them as if he hadn't heard.
But Yuan Yuhan was unhappy when he heard those words. "Huh? Are you talking about me?"
"Me, despicable? Me, shameless? Me, a scoundrel? How ridiculous. I wonder who attacked a group of powerless villagers and who wanted to kill them."
"Now you even have the nerve to talk about me? It's really a joke." As he said this, he climbed down from the tree and stepped on the back of one of the men.
"I act in an open and above - board manner. Unlike some people..." After saying that, he gave a disdainful look at the three men lying on the ground.
"What should we do now? Should we take them to those villagers?"
"No. We'll take them back first for interrogation. If we just hand them over to the villagers directly, these three might say something random, and then we'll be in trouble."
"Okay, I'll follow your lead. Let's go."
The two of them took the three men to an abandoned temple. They tied the men to the pillars and prepared the things they would need for the interrogation later.
Yuan Yuhan was a bit in shock. "I said, Zhanzhi, how do you know these methods? You can even come up with such dirty tricks. I'm really impressed."
"I saw other countries use these methods when I was leading troops in battles. I just combined them."
Looking at all the tools on the ground, Yuan Yuhan shivered. "Fortunately, you're on my side. Otherwise... if I fell into your hands, I'm afraid I'd be in big trouble."
It was so perverted. He was really not a normal person.
Jing Xunchè found some charcoal and spread it on the ground. Then he lit the charcoal. When the charcoal turned red - hot, he looked at the three men tied to the pillars.
"Who wants to try first?"
"Let me tell you, we won't betray our master. You can forget about it!"
"That's right! We won't confess."
"Okay." Jing Xunchè didn't care about their words. He just responded casually.
"Since you're so loyal to your master, you go first." After saying that, he tapped the acupoints of the first man who had spoken, sealing his martial arts skills. He took off the man's shoes, untied the ropes, and threw him onto the red - hot charcoal.
"Ah! Ah...!"
The black - clothed man's martial arts were sealed, so he was no different from an ordinary person. Moreover, now that he was thrown onto the red - hot charcoal, he tried to run to either side, but there were nails and sharpened wooden sticks on both sides. Stepping on them would pierce through his soles.
"Ah!!! Ah!"
The other two men watched their comrade being tortured like this. They were trembling all over. This man was really terrifying. They were so scared that they were about to pee their pants. Oh... no, they already had.
Woo... this man was really too terrifying. They wanted to go home and find their mothers.
However, Jing Xunchè didn't care about the thoughts of these two men. He was using a psychological warfare. He didn't hurt their bodies directly, but made them start to be afraid from the inside, and then gradually break down their defenses.
The two men on the pillars watched as their comrade's feet were roasted to a pulp. He was rolling on the ground non - stop, and all the nails and sharpened wooden sticks on the ground were stuck in his body.
The scariest thing was not death, but living in a state worse than death.
Gradually, the man on the ground fainted due to excessive blood loss.
Jing Xunchè stepped forward to check and said, "It's okay. He just fainted due to excessive blood loss. We'll find a doctor later, and then we can continue."
"Okay, then move him to one side first. Let's try another one." Yuan Yuhan knew it was his turn to step in.
Torturing people wasn't his forte, but scaring people was.
With a sly smile on his face, he walked over and paced back and forth between the two men.
"I wonder which one is better? Didn't they say they'd never betray their master? Since they're not willing to say anything, why bother asking? Watching them being tortured is also a kind of enjoyment."
"I can even try something. I've never done it before, but today I'm lucky to have someone for me to practice on."
Yuan Yuhan walked up to the two men. "You definitely won't do. You're a bit thin. You look like you're in poor health. If I practice on you, you definitely won't be able to bear it."
Hearing this, the man let out a sigh of relief. But before he could catch his breath, he was almost scared to death by Yuan Yuhan's next words.
"I definitely won't choose you. I'll leave you to my brother. I'm sure he still has a lot of tricks up his sleeve."
Seeing the man breaking out in cold sweat, Yuan Yuhan patted his shoulder reassuringly. "Don't worry. My brother is more reliable than me. He definitely won't kill you. You'll just suffer a bit."
"Didn't you say you'd never betray your master? We don't plan to do anything to you either. You'll just suffer a bit of physical pain. Then, when we're done having fun, we'll let you go. Don't worry. It'll be okay."
The black - clothed man was on the verge of a breakdown from what Yuan Yuhan said. It was so terrifying. These people were really not human.
"No... don't... I'll talk... I'll tell you everything! Please let me go... I beg you to let me go..."
"Number 57! Are you crazy? Are you going to betray the master?"
But Number 57 ignored him and just kept begging for mercy.
"Two heroes, please spare my life. I'll confess everything."
"Oh? Really? But now we don't want to know anymore. What do you think we should do? How about you let us practice on you? What do you say?"
"Don't, don't, don't. Please, two heroes. I'll do anything you ask. Just please let me go."
"Are you serious?"
"Serious. It's all true. As long as you let me go, I'll do anything."
"Okay. We won't make things difficult for you. Early tomorrow morning, you'll go with us to that village and tell everything you and your master have done."
Yuan Yuhan saw the hesitation on Number 57's face and thought this man still needed a bit more pressure.
"Since you're not willing, forget it. I won't force you. You'll go to my brother for him to practice on. Let me tell you, I heard that my brother knows a torture method called the hair - combing torture."
"I've only heard of it but never seen it. It's a good thing I have you today. Later, I'll ask him to prepare the things so that I can learn."
"Let me tell you what the hair - combing torture is."
