As the former leader of the martial arts world in Jiangnan Prefecture, Dongfang Sheng naturally could not escape Wei Tianxian's extortion.
However, Dongfang Sheng, with the pride of a scholar, would never bow down to a powerful eunuch who brought disaster to the country. He raised his head and angrily rebuked him.
"Gong Gou, go back and tell that damned eunuch that he is utterly depraved and a scourge to the country. Even if I, Dongfang Sheng, die, I will never give him a single penny..."
Bang!
"Still dare to talk back!"
Gong Gou kicked Dongfang Sheng's leg and broke it, grinning maliciously.
"You want to die? Not so easy."
"How dare you disrespect my godfather, Dongfang Sheng? How many heads do you have to chop off?"
"You don't have to pay tribute, then I'll send people to storm into your house and rob you of all your wealth and cultivation resources."
"All the men of your Dongfang family will be captured and enslaved, and the women will be sent to brothels to work as prostitutes, hahaha!"
"Gong Gou, you are despicable and shameless!"
Dongfang Sheng was furious and was about to fight back, but Gong Gou pinned him to the ground.
The difference in their strength was too great; he was no match for Gong Gou at all, and couldn't help but curse loudly.
"Gong Gou, you are worse than pigs and dogs, you know nothing of propriety, righteousness, or shame, you recognize a thief as your father, you aid and abet evil, and you disgrace your ancestors."
Dongfang Sheng was well-read, and even his cursing was quite sophisticated.
In contrast, Gong Gou was just a roughneck who knew nothing but burning, killing, and looting.
"Damn Dongfang Sheng, I'll teach you to curse again."
Click—
Gong Gou stomped down and broke Dongfang Sheng's other leg.
"I'll teach you to curse again."
Click—
Click—
Gong Gou kicked and cursed, breaking several of Dongfang Sheng's ribs.
"Dongfang Sheng, aren't you very arrogant? Today I'll show you what I'm capable of."
"Guards, drag Dongfang Sheng out and set him on fire. Let's teach him a lesson for his arrogance."
"I'd like to see who dares to go against my godfather."
Several martial artists stepped forward and dragged the half-dead Dongfang Sheng towards the outer courtyard.
"Let go of him, sir."
The ghost servant, loyal to his master, gritted his teeth and stumbled over despite being covered in wounds.
He also suffered multiple injuries and his life was in danger.
"Where did this old dog come from? Get out of here."
Thud—
Gong Gou raised his foot and kicked the ghost servant away.
As for the other martial arts masters in Jiangnan Prefecture, they had long been beaten to the ground, either dead or in a miserable state, and none of them were able to stand up.
Soon, Dongfang Sheng was dragged to the outer courtyard and tied tightly to a pillar.
Gong Gou waved his hand, and one of his men immediately brought over a bucket of gasoline and poured it over Dongfang Sheng's head.
Immediately, a pungent smell of gasoline filled the air.
The so-called "sky lantern" refers to setting a person's head on fire and using it as a torch, watching the person burn to death.
It is an outrageous and extremely cruel form of punishment.
Gong Gou lit a cigarette, blew a puff of smoke into Dongfang Sheng's face, and said arrogantly.
"Dongfang Sheng, I'm giving you one last chance. Pay tribute to my godfather and you can live."
"spit!"
Although Dongfang Sheng had been tortured beyond recognition, he remained proud and unyielding. He spat on Gong Gou's face and said with righteous indignation.
"A scholar...can be killed but not humiliated..."
"I, Dongfang Sheng... will absolutely never bow down to... cough cough castrated dogs..."
"Since ancient times... cough cough, who has ever escaped death..."
"Let my loyal heart shine through history!"
With his last ounce of strength, Dongfang Sheng uttered these words.
He only hoped that his death could awaken the world.
If everyone could rise up in resistance like him, then there would be no fear of the eunuchs not being wiped out.
By doing this, I can consider it a contribution to the country, and it will leave a brilliant mark in the history books in the future.
Gong Gou wiped the saliva off his face and said through gritted teeth.
"good!"
You've got guts!
"Dongfang Sheng, since you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish today."
After Gong Gou finished speaking, he flicked the burning cigarette butt in his hand toward Dongfang Sheng's head.
A cruel smile curled at the corner of his mouth, as if he could already see Dongfang Sheng being burned to death.
Suddenly.
A furry paw darted out from the side like lightning and caught the burning cigarette butt out of thin air.
The visitor turned out to be an old weasel.
Upon hearing that Dongfang Sheng was in trouble, it rushed over to act as a firefighter.
At this moment, the old weasel stood up, one hand behind his back, his whiskers almost touching the ground.
With his other hand holding a cigarette butt, he took a deep drag, exhaled a puff of smoke toward Gong Gou, and said slowly.
"Kid, do you think I look more like a human or a deity?"
Gong Gou was slightly taken aback, staring at the old weasel that had suddenly appeared in front of him, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes.
In his view, the old weasel in front of him had cultivated for at least two hundred years and had long since developed intelligence.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have asked him to "keep quiet" at all.
Weasels are intelligent and mysterious animals that can possess people.
Gong Gou was also unwilling to provoke them easily, so he nodded and said.
You look like an immortal to me.
He had also heard rumors about the weasel demanding silence.
In his view, as long as he could make them happy and send them away, that would be enough.
But to everyone's surprise, the old weasel not only didn't appreciate it, but immediately turned hostile, throwing his cigarette butt at Gong Gou's face and cursing loudly.
