Chapter 31 Execution by a Thousand Cuts, the Authority of the Holy Ancestor



"Crackling..."

The golden whip struck Di Xin heavily, making him shudder all over, his veins bulging in pain, and his face contorting into a ferocious expression.

Yin Zicheng's Golden Whip, when it struck the body, not only caused physical pain, but the pain went to the bone marrow and pierced the soul!

The fact that Di Xin didn't writhe in pain after being whipped once already shows his strong will.

Yin Zicheng cracked his whip and coldly rebuked:

"Di Xin, even now, you still don't know what mistake you've made?"

"Nuwa is the Holy Mother of Humanity, yet you inscribed a blasphemous poem in Nuwa's Palace on Nuwa's birthday. This is already a huge mistake!"

"As a great merchant emperor, you have failed to fulfill your duties, favored the treacherous Fei Zhong and You Hun, and indulged in pleasure. This is an even greater crime!"

"You unfilial descendant, I will surely teach you a lesson today!"

......

Of course, that's what Yin Zicheng said, but what he was really thinking was:

"You brat Di Xin, Nuwa is my future wife! How dare you make a move on Nuwa? You must be severely punished!"

While thinking about it.

Yin Zicheng continued moving.

"Crackling... crackling... crackling..."

He lashed the Golden Whip, the weapon that protected the nation, heavily onto Di Xin's body again and again.

Initially, with the strength to support the pillars and the willpower to replace them, Emperor Xin could barely grit his teeth and endure it.

A few lashes followed.

Di Xin was in so much pain that he couldn't bear it anymore. This big man in his thirties was like a child, howling and rolling on the ground in agony.

"Ancestor, I know I was wrong, please, please stop hitting me!"

beside.

Shang Rong, Bi Gan, Huang Feihu, and the others were all deeply moved when they saw the once arrogant Emperor Xin being taught such a miserable lesson.

As subjects, they wanted to speak up and say a few words on behalf of Emperor Xin, asking Yin Zicheng to be gentle.

But in the end, neither of them spoke.

After all, this is the Holy Ancestor who protects the nation!

Who would dare to utter a single word against the actions of this old man?

......

"Crackling... crackling... crackling..."

Yin Zicheng beat up Di Xin.

Di Xin begged for mercy.

The piercing screams reached Fei Zhong and You Hun's ears, making them tremble uncontrollably as if they were having a seizure.

Good heavens! If the Holy Ancestor was so ruthless to Emperor Xin, how ruthless must he have been to these two treacherous ministers?

Just thinking about it terrified Fei Zhong and You Hun.

In their terror, Fei Zhong and You Hun were so frightened that they lost control of their bladders.

Yin Zicheng smelled the strange odor and frowned.

Seeing that he had taught Di Xin a lesson enough, he stopped and said to Di Xin:

"Di Xin, this time I am merely giving him a minor punishment as a warning..."

"Next time, if you dare to act recklessly again, I will show no mercy!"

When Di Xin heard this, he was so frightened he almost wet himself.

You beat him so badly, almost killing him, and you were lenient?

How ruthless will it be next time?

Are they going to beat him to death?

Our ancestors were truly terrifying!

......

Emperor Xin was completely defeated by Yin Zicheng.

He nodded repeatedly:

"Grandfather, I know I was wrong, and I will never dare to do it again!"

At this moment, in front of Yin Zicheng, Di Xin did not even dare to refer to himself as "I" and humbly called himself "this humble one".

Seeing Di Xin's obedient appearance, Yin Zicheng nodded in satisfaction.

immediately.

His gaze fell upon Fei Zhong and You Hun.

Feeling Yin Zicheng's icy gaze, Fei Zhong and You Hun trembled even more violently.

"Bang...bang...bang..."

They pounded their heads as if they wanted to smash the ground, kowtowing so hard that their foreheads were bloody and mangled, yet they continued to pound as if they felt no pain.

......

However, Yin Zicheng would not forgive Fei Zhong and You Hun just because they kowtowed loudly.

"Fei Zhong and You Hun have bewitched the Emperor, embezzled public funds, and committed numerous evil deeds. Their crimes are unforgivable!"

"Where are the Black Bird Guards? Have them executed by slow slicing in public, and their names inscribed on the Stele of Treacherous Officials as a warning to others!"

Yin Zicheng's icy voice terrified Fei Zhong and You Hun.

Lingchi (death by a thousand cuts)?

What is the legendary, horrific punishment that involved cutting a person into ten thousand pieces before they died?

Fei Zhong and You Hun were no strangers to the concept of slow slicing.

This punishment frequently appears in the legend of Yin Zicheng punishing treacherous officials.

According to legend, the person being tortured would watch helplessly as the executioner cut off pieces of their flesh, enduring immense physical and psychological pain.

Only after being cut ten thousand times can one be released from this state and die.

The mere act of slow slicing terrified Fei Zhong and You Hun.

Moreover, even after their deaths, they will not find peace; they will be enshrined on the Stele of Treacherous Officials and cursed for all eternity!

Fei Zhong and You Hun became increasingly frightened as they thought about it, and they were so scared that they fainted!

......

While Fei Zhong and You Hun were terrified into fainting.

A group of people dressed in brocade robes embroidered with black bird patterns came running at great speed.

They arrived before Fei Zhong and You Hun.

"Whoosh..."

The brocade-clad troops stopped in unison, facing Yin Zicheng, and knelt down to pay their respects.

"Commanders Gao Ming and Gao Jue of the Black Bird Guard, lead the Black Bird Guard to pay homage to the Holy Ancestor!"

The Black Bird Guard was a special supervisory agency established by Yin Zicheng in the Shang Dynasty, responsible for monitoring the Shang Dynasty on his behalf.

The leaders, Gao Ming and Gao Jue, are two different kinds of monsters, each possessing the supernatural powers of seeing a thousand miles and hearing the wind, respectively, and are most skilled at eavesdropping.
