Chapter 212 – Liu Ping's Agony
In Liu Ping's hand, arrows which had entered his body was there. His eyes locked with Friday as he threw the arrows, aiming at her face.
As Friday was in mid-air, she could not dodge the arrow, but she had more than one way to parry it.
Her red eyes flashed again as she accelerated her perception sense. Tong's [Double Accel] mode activated.
In mid-air, she extended her left hand while her right hand was still holding onto her spear. Her left index and middle finger flickered the slow-motion arrows away. With all threats gone, Friday locked her eyes on her target.
'I won't screw up this time!'
All Friday's attention located on the beating heart of Liu Ping. No matter how he would parry or dodge, all of her strikes would focus on that part.
"Fatality time! Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, select, start!"
Friday imagined herself as a Mortal Kombat character who was about the finish the opponent, though she confused it with another certain game.
In that split second, Liu Ping's life flashed in front of his eyes. A déjà vu sensation when he was killed by Tong in his previous life came back to him again.
His body reacted by instinct. He rotated his shoulder and countered her spear with a sword swing.
*SOEK*
The spear did not miss. It went into Liu Ping's heart!
At the same time, his strike sliced another part of Friday's chest armor area, cutting her armor and her inner clothes from her upper chest part. She managed to react in time and back-stepped to dodge the incoming attack by a hair's breadth. However, she had to let go of her spear.
Because of the two consecutive cut, her armor was torn into pieces and was dangling, getting in the way of her movement.
Friday got annoyed by her torn clothes. She took off her armor, stripping all of her torso pieces, revealing her skins and her bountiful assets.
Liu Ping, however, was not in the mood to appreciate women's breasts at the moment. He could feel the cold iron in his heart, and his body lost its strength. His blood circulation rate decreased at a rapid pace.
The Emperor staggered backward and collapsed on his back with his eyes widened.
"Protect the Emperor!"
Thousands of Imperial troops attempted to rescue Liu Ping by rushing at Friday.
The girl smirked at the oncoming soldiers. Friday displayed her footwork again to the side of the first soldier who charged at her. She grabbed the wrist of the unlucky guy, breaking his wrist bone, and stole his spear. She rewarded him later with a spear thrust into his forehead.
'Our goal is pretty much over at this point. Time to farm some lifespans,' Thought Friday.
With casual, she continued thrusting her spear at the foreheads of all soldiers coming at her. Behind Friday, a transparent short black tentacle extended out from her back. She attempted to use her borrowed tentacle wing to insert into the dead bodies of the soldiers.
Her face distorted again the moment she noticed the length of the tentacle.
"Damnit, Tong! You need an enlargement! It's too short!"
If Tong had heard Friday's complaint, he would have sulked for months as it was an insult to his manhood and his pride.
Friday's tentacle wing was borrowed from Tong's [Lust Soul] inside her body. Since Tong and Friday formed a devil contract, she could borrow his power and his wing to drain lifespans from freshly dead bodies or living beings.
Unfortunately, Tong had not matured as a demonic being yet. His wings were still short and small like the finger of a child.
"Oh well, I guess I have to be creative."
Her tentacle wing returned into her body while Friday was busy stabbing people's foreheads. As soon as the wing got inside her body again, she stomped on the nearest copses.
Instead of growing out of Friday's back, the spiritual tentacle extended from her sole which stepped on the dead body. It stabbed into the fresh and began draining the remaining life essence.
The suction rate was nowhere compared to Medusa. Her foot planted onto the corpse for five whole minutes to turn the dead body into ashes. By the time Friday finished the one corpse, she had already slain five hundred soldiers.
<ding>>
Friday glanced at her status menu. Her lifespans increased from a few decades to 79 years from eating one person's worth of life essence.
'This should last me a while. But damn, the absorption rate is too slow. I guess I'll have to steal their life essence after the battle is over.'
For five to six minutes that Friday idly stood still and killed the ordinary soldiers, several thousands of Imperial soldiers had already surrounded her.
Friday finally realized that she chased Liu Ping to the battalions in the back. All troops around here had not been touched by the ambushing soldiers.
"Well, this is troublesome," Complained Friday as she glanced around to find the dead body of Liu Ping.
It did not take long to locate Liu Ping again. To her surprise, he was still alive after the strike into his heart.
"FOOking cockroach!" Friday roared and flashed her red eyes again. This time, she was serious.
Liu Ping had already taken off Friday's spear from his chest, and the wound in his heart was almost healed. However, he lost too much blood that he felt dizzy. A soldier had to carry him by the shoulder so Liu Ping could stand again.
Alas, before Liu Ping could sneak away from the battle, Friday used her Lamia Step and chased after him again.
"You're not going anywhere."
*SWUA*
Friday swung her spear in a crescent motion. The blade of the spear sliced the legs of Liu Ping, severing both of them. She proceeded further by stabbing the foreheads of the surrounding bodyguards to create a space around her.
The Imperial soldiers stared at the half-naked woman in helplessness. Everyone who had stepped into her range died without being able to retaliate.
Liu Ping's body lied on the ground again. He could not get up this time as both his legs were gone.
*SWUA*
*SWUA*
Friday took her time and severed both his arms, leaving only his limbless torso and his head intact.
Although Liu Ping body was regenerating to fight back his injuries, he fainted from the loss of blood and the pain from the severed limbs.
"Hey, hey! You can't die like this. It's too easy for you!"
Friday stabbed her spear into Liu Ping's crotch. Alas, he was already unconscious so she could not see his reaction.
Clicking her tongue, she grabbed Liu Ping by his temple with her tight grip. She relaunched another series of spear thrust to clear a path.
"SCRAM!"
With the limbless body of Liu Ping in toll, Friday used her footwork to slither away from the Imperial troops.
It took her two minutes to reach the top of the hill where Hua Shi and Zhang Ji stationed.
The men were surprised by the sudden emergence of Friday. In the next second, all eyes glued at her white assets, and none of them noticed the limbless prisoner.
"Well, shit. You slut. I remember you dove into the battlefield with clothes. How did you return half-naked?" Hua Shi questioned her with a grin.
Friday smirked, "You'll end up worse than me if you did the same. Here, I've brought back a trophy for our husband."
Friday released the unconscious Liu Ping from her grip. Ironically, when he was in Hell, his four limbs were also severed by Friday. Even after he reincarnated, Friday still came back to dismember his arms and legs once more.
"Is this the Emperor? Wow, he looks like shit!" Mocked Hua Shi, "What are we going to do next? Kill him or wait for Tong to finish him?"
"Didn't you have that soulmate quest? Will it complete if we kill him?"
Hua Shi shook her head.

*********************************************
…
Hua Shi explained the condition to Friday. Even if they were to kill Liu Ping, the quest would not end.
"For now, let's talk about this later. Our goal is completed. Let's finish this battle and go home. My baby keeps kicking my tummy each time I fired an arrow. It's getting annoying now."
Friday laughed as she took a cape from the nearby soldier to cover herself.
"Then, do you mind if I torture this idiot?"
"Suit yourself."
Friday grinned. She walked toward Liu Ping and proceeded to strip him naked.
"Give me a spear."
She took a spear from the soldier and kicked Liu Ping by his side. His body flipped over and revealed his naked butt.
An inspiration popped in her mind. She planted the spear in 90 degrees with its tip pointing toward the sky. She kept pushing down the spear shaft into the ground until it sank by half a pole.
"Now, you have to wake up."
Friday splashed water onto sleeping Liu Ping with a bamboo canteen.
As Liu Ping's body continued to regenerate, his blood was also being recreated as well. He managed to regain his consciousness by the sense of wetness and cold.
"What?"
His eyes snapped open in confusion. He could sense the pain from his four limbs, which were no longer with him.
"NO! MY LEGS! MY ARMS!"
"You don't have the time to panic, brat."
Before Liu Ping realized what had happened to him or his surrounding, he felt the firm two hands, gripping on his lower waist.
"Say, Your Majesty. Have you ever experienced butt sex?" Jested Friday.
"Wha-AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!"
Friday grabbed Liu Ping's torso and pushed it on top of the planted spear's tip. The spear penetrated his hole, entering his body. The spear tip slowly went through his innards as Liu Ping body uncontrollably spasmed in shock and pain.
"Raise your chin up a bit, Your Majesty. I don't want you to die easily."
Grabbed by her hands, Liu Ping face was turned upward toward the sky. Friday exerted more force and shoved his limbless torso down, making the spear digging deeper.
*SOEK*
The spear exited Liu Ping's body from his mouth!
"Now, that's FATALITY! Anyone has lamb oil?"
Friday had not finished yet. She planned to burn Liu Ping as he was penetrated by the spear.
BBQ death with an anal penetration should suffice for a sinner of Liu Ping's caliber.
"Eww, that's quite gruesome." Hua Shi complained again, "Think of a heart of a delicate mother. I don't want my child to witness this."
"Delicate mother your sister! What kind of delicate mother are you who smiles when you kill those soldiers?"
Friday bickered as they splashed crude oil onto the shaking Liu Ping. He was still alive after all that.
A nearby soldier knew that job. He lighted a torch and gave it to Friday.
"Burn and go back to Hell, Ping."
The agonizing Liu Ping was set on fire.
No voice came out of his mouth as his throat and his vocal cord was ruined by the spear. He struggled to heal himself against the damage from the fire.
Wounded pain.
Burning pain.
Helplessness.
Despair.
For an entire hour, he kept shaking his body to free himself and fire. Everyone was amazed by this Emperor's vitality.
In the end, the fire burned his face and his head. It cooked his brain which made it stopped working.
The cockroach Emperor had been burnt to death on the stake.</ding>
