Chapter 143: A Thousand Cuts
Ill go and see for myself. Lie Feng, you continue to lead the team forward, dont stop, Qi Bei said.
Yes, my Lord, Lie Feng nodded. He knew that the Qi Beis decisions were unwavering, and with his strength, coupled with Leng Sufeng that followed him, there shouldnt be any problems.
Qi Bei quickly found the location where Yi Shibas battalion encountered trouble. Sensing the residual energy fluctuations in the air, his brows raised. Such violent Qi fluctuations indicated that the opposing side had at least one peak King-grade warrior.
Master, judging from the horseshoe prints around us, it seems that Yi Shibas battalion was surrounded by two to three thousand soldiers, but it doesnt appear that they engaged in intense combat, Thirteens voice sounded in Qi Beis ear.
Also, Yi Shiba left a scent trail for tracking, Xiao Jiu added.
Lets go. This young master wants to see which great figure has dared to meddle with my troops, Qi Bei said calmly.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
Immediately, he followed the scent trail and flew forward, while Leng Sufeng hung back at a distance.
..
The stronghold of the Tempest Bandits was not nearby, so at nightfall, they set up camp on a deserted hill with higher terrain.
Yi Shiba was suspended inside a tent, his body covered in salty water and his flesh torn by a bone whip. But he didnt blink an eye, as if the whip was striking a piece of wood instead of his body.
Tell me, who sent you? the bandit executing the torture asked forcefully, panting heavily.
Yi Shiba licked the bloodstains at the corner of his mouth. He remained silent, only glaring at the bandit with a chilling gaze that sent shivers down his spine.
You like looking? Then look. Ill dig out your dog eyes first, the bandit grew furious and drew a dagger, intending to stab Yi Shibas eyes.
Stop. Just then, a wave of battle Qi whipped through like a whip.
The bandit let out a miserable cry as the dagger fell from his hand. He turned his head and saw the female leader wearing a ghost mask, instantly losing all courage.
Leader, this guy is a tough nut to crack. Weve tried everything, but he doesnt even utter a sound. Its unclear if hes even human, one of the subordinates spoke up.
The Tempest Witch waved her hand, then directly pulled over a chair and sat down. Her piercing gaze locked onto Yi Shiba as she said, You were once part of the Saint Yana Alliances Blade Army. You must have undergone special training, so youre not afraid of torture.
Yi Shiba remained silent. There were still traces of the Blade Armys tattoo on his arm, albeit slightly damaged. Observant individuals could still make it out. However, he was no longer part of that organization. He had new pursuits and goals.
Just because youre a tough nut doesnt mean your subordinates are. Are you not afraid to watch them die in miserable agony? the Tempest Witch said. Her voice, somewhat hoarse, carried a peculiar charm, capable of manipulating those with weaker wills and leading them by the nose.
Yi Shiba remained silent, his snake-like eyes coldly staring at the Tempest Witch.
Bring one of them here, the Tempest Witch ordered calmly, without displaying anger.
Soon, a young soldier from the Divine Dragon Army was brought into the tent.
He was a teenager, appearing to be seventeen or eighteen years old. He seemed somewhat frail, but his gaze was calm, devoid of any fear.
As their eyes met, an indescribable understanding seemed to exist between them.
Leader, but the subordinate leader hurriedly spoke.
The Tempest Witch glanced at him, causing a chill to run down his spine, and he quickly nodded.
However, at that moment, several loud explosions suddenly came from outside the camp, accompanied by intense energy fluctuations.
At the same time, screams echoed through the night sky.
The Tempest Witchs gaze turned cold, and she immediately rushed out of the tent, only to see a figure shimmering with golden light charging straight towards her.
Spare me, the person youre looking for is inside. The bandit in the persons hand pleaded with tears streaming down his face.
Die. The Tempest Witchs killing intent was resolute, and a burst of battle qi directly sliced the bandits head in half.
Qi Bei casually tossed aside the corpse in his hand and stared at the Tempest Witch coldly. Where are my people?
The Tempest Witch held a blue longsword in her hand, sizing up Qi Bei. This young man with a handsome face and a pair of mustaches seemed a bit peculiar, but the killing intent in his eyes was even stronger than hers. Were these people who refused to speak his subordinates?
Thinking of the pathetic bandit she had just killed, a sudden dissatisfaction arose in her heart.
At this moment, the surroundings of the camp were stirred up by layers of earthwaves, burying and toppling the charging bandits. Meanwhile, several powerful members of the Tempest Bandits were entangled by a ghostly figure in a black robe.
And in the distance, the Tempest Witch also sensed a more powerful aura watching closely.
Qi Bei flicked the black longsword in his hand and launched a lightning-fast attack toward the Tempest Witch.
Whether you believe it or not, if you make a move, all of your proud and resolute subordinates will die instantly, the Tempest Witch said without moving.
Qi Beis sword tip stopped in front of the Tempest Witchs throat, and suddenly, he flicked the tip upward, causing the demon mask on the Tempest Witchs face to fly off.
A cascade of beautiful hair fell down, but when the Tempest Witch turned her head, Qi Bei couldnt help but be astonished because she was wearing a thin white mask on her face.
Did you want to see my true face? Haha, anyone who has seen my true face has died, the Tempest Witch laughed, her voice trembling.
Surrender, or die! Qi Bei said coldly.
If you make a move, all of your subordinates will die, the Tempest Witch threatened back.
Qi Bei frowned. He disliked being threatened, especially by a bandit (woman).
The Tempest Witch stared at Qi Bei intently, but suddenly, her pupils contracted because Qi Beis sword, without any warning, stabbed toward her throat again.
Dont you care about the lives of your subordinates? The Tempest Witch quickly retreated, the green battle qi wings behind her trembled and suddenly she flew up.
Haha, threatening this young master, youre a bit naive. Practice your lies for a few more years before trying to deceive people, Qi Bei laughed loudly and then shouted, Ice block, kill her.
Suddenly, a frost rose up, and before the Tempest Witch could react, the snowy white sword aura pierced through her chest.
