Xiaoli City.
Outside the array barrier, there were no more soldiers or armored warriors from the Vermilion Bird Divine Land.
Somewhat dissatisfied, Xiao Jiu shifted her posture in the chair and then glanced sideways at Que Ti beside her.
"You're fucking useless."
The words were spoken softly, yet they made Que Ti's face turn deathly pale.
This morning, the Vermilion Bird Divine Earth army, which had been converging on Xiaoli City, suddenly and hastily withdrew.
Their retreat was not only filled with panic, but they also showed no intention of explaining themselves to Que Ti, the divine son.
Que Ti knew very well that as long as the Vermilion Bird Divine Earth army continued to gather and attack, he would not die.
Because the young man beside him intended to use himself as bait to lure and kill more people from the Vermilion Bird Divine Land.
He knew perfectly well that the longer the time dragged on, the better it would be for him, because as time went on, a powerful being would surely come to his rescue from the Vermilion Bird Divine Land.
As one of the temple's chosen ones, and superior to the other two in every way, the temple would certainly not abandon him.
So despite the perilous situation, he believed he would be rescued.
The first thing he did after being rescued was to kill the incredibly wicked creature named Qi Jiu who was standing next to him.
He not only cut off his own ears, but also cut off six of his toes out of boredom.
Only the second and third toes remained on each foot, because the man named Hokyu said it was called "Ye," which means victory.
He made a "V" sign with both feet to keep himself from getting bored.
That's right, he cut off his own toes just to make it less boring. Damn it, he even made me smile as I watched the large number of divine soldiers being annihilated by the formation.
If my smile wasn't natural or happy enough, he would cut off pieces of my penis from between my legs and make me eat them, bite by bite.
This is intolerable! As soon as the powerful figures from the temple arrive, I will repay this damned man a thousandfold for the humiliation he has caused me.
But the powerful figures from the temple did not arrive, and the army hastily retreated.
Que Ti was dumbfounded.
Without the army that attacks the formation, I have no value. That damned Xiao Jiu will definitely torture me to death.
But what Que Ti didn't know was that the retreat of the army outside the formation was due to news of Que Ruyu's death in battle.
With Que Ruyu around, the army would do everything in its power to rescue Que Ti, this divine child. But now that the commander is dead, who the hell is going to save you?
I saved you because I was afraid of being held accountable by the temple, and afraid that the temple would arrange for me to be buried with you.
Now that the commander is dead, there's no need to fight any longer. We can just coordinate our statements and pin the blame on Que Ruyu.
Since you're already dead, it shouldn't be a problem for you to take some of the blame for us, right?
Son of God?
Who is the Child of God?
Which divine child? Nobody tells us who the divine child is.
We don't know who the divine child is, how to save them, or who to save.
"Every man for himself" is a proverb, and that's human nature.
Que Ti stood on the ground of the city wall with two "yes" sounds, looking at Xi Jiu in front of him with extreme fear.
He wanted to shake his head, he wanted to beg for mercy, but he couldn't make a single movement or a single sound, but Xiao Jiu's expression told him otherwise.
You're useless now, so your time to die has come.
"I heard you call this place Quangong City, meaning that the military merits here are like spring water, continuously generating merits for you?"
While blowing on the peanut shells in his hand, Xi Jiu asked Que Ti without looking up.
"I heard you enjoy torturing and killing my Eastern Divine Earth warrior cultivators in bright light, that gives you a lot of pleasure?"
Crunch, crunch... The peanuts made a crisp sound in Xiao Jiu's mouth.
But to Que Ti, the sound was like a death knell. Although Xiao Jiu did not show any fierce look in his eyes, and his tone was not harsh at all.
But such people are the most terrifying, because they kill only for the sake of killing, and their status, position, or the bigger picture are simply not within their consideration.
One sentence, "I want to kill you," is enough.
"You invented the idea of treating my Eastern Divine Land city as a field of leeks, and then harvesting the lives of my Eastern Divine Land soldiers again and again. What a genius!"
The crunching sound of teeth crushing peanuts rang out again, accompanied by Xi Jiu's indifferent voice, causing Que Ti's temples to be soaked with cold sweat.
“I originally intended to chop off your head and place it on the graves of those you murdered, to comfort their souls in heaven.”
“But I’ve changed my mind now. Millions of soldiers died to save you, but you weren’t even moved. So a selfish and shameless slut like you can’t die too easily.”
As he spoke, Xiao Jiu threw the last peanut into his mouth, then patted the peanut skins off his hands before turning to look at the terrified Que Ti beside him.
“I never waste words before killing someone, because my young master forbids it.”
At this point, Xiao Jiu grinned slightly, as if recalling the scene where he was babbling and being brutally beaten by Xiao Boqi before he made his move.
Do you know why I'm telling you so much today?
As the last note faded, a series of somewhat disordered footsteps slowly approached from afar.
Leading the way were the three old and wounded soldiers who had been brought to Xiaoli City by Xiao Jiu, followed by many wounded soldiers with bandages wrapped around their bodies.
The wounded veterans were not fast, but with each step they took, their murderous aura and killing intent intensified.
As the veterans slowly approached, Xiao Jiu nodded slightly, then looked at Que Ti again.
"Because they were the ones who tried to kill you."
Just as the veterans were about to reach him, Xiao Jiu spoke again to Que Ti and asked.
"Do you know why we've sealed your body, and even forbade you from making a sound?"
"Because standing here, watching the person who is going to torture you approach step by step, not only can you not hide, but you can't even let out a scream to vent your fear. Such boundless fear is the most painful torture for a selfish and cowardly person like you."
After speaking, the veterans came to Yi Jiu and bowed in salute.
"Greetings, Your Excellency!"
Yi Jiu smiled and nodded, then turned and walked towards the foot of the city wall.
"He is entrusting himself to you, with only one condition: he must not die before all the tortures in the world have been exhausted."
Watching Ye Jiu's departing figure, the veterans bowed deeply once again.
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
...
Just as Xiao Licheng Yi Jiu stepped off the city wall, two figures arrived at the outside of Zhuque Divine City at lightning speed.
These were two young men, one dressed in a scholar's robe with an elegant demeanor, and the other handsome and extremely sunny and cheerful. They were Qin Feng and Zhang Youzhao, who had come together from the battlefield of the boundary.
Qin Feng looked at the Vermilion Bird Divine City before him with his hands behind his back and nodded with great satisfaction.
"Is that old bird in this city?"
Zhang Youzhao nodded slightly.
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng clenched his fist, making a cracking sound.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get them!"
