Chapter 1251: 18.89 First Grey Star - Punishment I
The execution was recently announced, and this afternoon the crown decreed that all of the Barbarian clan—the Barbarian King, the Barbarian Chief, and Heavenly Guardian Yi Kun—would be punished by death before the sun fell.
Wang Xingmo stood at the stand and said, "The Yi Clan and the Barbarians had dragged our family and city to this disaster. They ruined our peace, destroyed our homes, and massacred our loved ones. I ask, do they deserve a chance to live?"
The angered citizens shouted, "No, kill them all!"
"Kill them all. Kill them all!!!"
Yi Kun is a human, so his skin is not that different from the rest, and his elemental abilities are restrained, so he cannot dodge anything at all. The citizens' hatred for these guys was unconditional, and they even started throwing things at them like rotten eggs and rocks, leaving them with bruises and a foul stench. The two barbarians are still okay, though.
"Fu*k you! You damn commoners! You are not even useful alive. So what if I cleaned you up!!!" Heavenly Guardian Yi Kun shouted.
Wang Xingmo watched the entire scene with cold eyes. He truly does not care if Heavenly Guardian Yi Kun dies at the hands of the citizens; unfortunately, the lives of these men are for him to end. The more people hear his words, the angrier they are, and the more they throw things at him.
The knight only stepped forward to stop them when the situation got out of hand and people wanted to throw a huge rock at him to kill him right then.
"Halt at once! The ending of these people is to be given to Lord Satan. He will personally punish them all!"
The mention of the name Satan caused the citizens to stop abruptly and display shocked expressions on their faces. Even the Barbarian Chief, the Barbarian King, and Heavenly Guardian Yi Kun were taken aback. Hunter Satan's reputation is well known for his ruthlessness and cruelty. Only the wicked and the offending are afraid of him, while others greatly idolize him due to his unquestionable strength.
Wang Xingmo's mention of Ye Jieye's alias, as was to be expected, caused a massive black dragon that had been waiting in the sky to slowly descend, followed by another well-known figure, Lu Shang, the Young Master of the Lu Clan and Satan's only subordinate. The enthusiasm and cheers from the crowd upon their arrival demonstrated just how much people believed in these two figures.
Those who had lost their loved ones kneeled before Ye Jieye, tears falling from their eyes. They had started begging Ye Jieye to give these villains a painful punishment.
"Lord Satan, please punish them in the most painful way before ending their lives. These bastards killed my wife and ate my children!"
"My husband was eaten too."
"They smashed the body of my boy. He is so small, but not even a piece of his corpse was left intact."
"My brother's head is missing. Lord Satan, please don't leave them off so easily. They must die in the most painful way."
"We plead, Lord Satan. Lord Satan, please listen to our wishes!"
They almost prayed before Ye Jieye, who reacted calmly to their pleas. He didn't even glance at them, and his face remained expressionless, but the people heard his words.
Ye Jieye said, "You wanted them to suffer painfully before them or wanted them to suffer for long until they die. Which one do you want to be their ending?"
The citizens were delighted by the choices, and they all called out for the second option.
"The second one!"
"Second one!"
"Second +143"
Yi Kun, the Heavenly Guardian, looked at Ye Jieye with fear in his eyes, even though he tried to appear strong. The Barbarian Chief only raised an eyebrow, as he could not believe that such a thin man could cause him pain. He did not even notice that the Barbarian King, who could see through people, was trembling badly the moment he saw Ye Jieye.
His reaction was even stronger than when he saw Ye Jingxia that night.
The barbarian king began thrashing his small limbs like a fish out of water, his face grew even paler than snow, and his eyes trembled as if they were shivering on their own. Worse, he began shrieking as if he were a terrified cat whose tail had been firmly trodden on.
Agh! Ahhh! Argh!!! AHHHH!!!
The Barbarian King shrieks, "N-No, don't come over. Please kill me. Just kill me. Monster. You are a monster. So much more than the little devil that night!
Ahh! Kill me! Please just kill me!!"
His terrified look at Ye Jieye, his agonizing screams as if he were truly in great pain, but instead he could not hold back his fear of Satan, everyone witnessed it all. Those citizens thought that this barbarian king was weak-willed to be screaming in fear in this way, but only those who knew about the Barbarian King's ability to see through someone's strength were horrified by his reaction.
Yi Kun, the Barbarian Chief, and King Wang Xingmo were all taken aback by the crippled Barbarian King. Nameless remained silently behind his master, occasionally peeking over his shoulder to see what the Venerable would do next. Ye Jieye looked at the wailing, muscular man on the ground coldly, as if he were looking at some kind of
"Loud. Shang, grab him."
Lu Shang responded politely, as always. "Yes, my lord." He walked towards the chained-to-the-neck Barbarian King and dragged him by his chain like some kind of chained livestock. He threw him in front of Ye Jieye.
When the Barbarian King saw Ye Jieye's crimson eyes looking down at him, he trembled and wanted to crawl away, even if it meant injuring his broken limbs. However, Lu Shang held the end of his chain and could not leave, no matter what he did.
Ye Jieye asked, "Did you enjoy fighting with my son? I heard you broke his arms last night."
The Barbarian King trembled under this evil god's gaze, and it made the former lose it completely and even almost bite off his tongue.
Ahhh. Ahhh. Hahhh.
Ye Jieye's evil smirk made everyone flinch, including Lu Shang. They watched as Ye Jieye pointed a finger at the Barbarian King's forehead, and under everyone's gaze, his missing limbs had all regrown. Everyone who witnessed the scene was dumbfounded, and a certain emblem of black angel wings was left on the Barbarian King's forehead.
Gasped!
Snapped!
With a snap of Ye Jieye's fingers, a black throne appeared on the spot, and he took his seat nonchalantly. He looked bored and suddenly commanded his subordinate, Lu Shang.
"Shang, you can begin."
"Yes!"
Wearing black gloves, Lu Shang used his wind control to forcefully make the barbarian king stand afloat. Everyone gasped at this magical scene, but everyone else was left dumbfounded and speechless when Lu Shang tore out the barbarian's arms without hesitation. The barbarian king let out a loud scream, and then this arm exploded into a minced piece of flesh and was thrown into the corner.
ARGHHHH!
Those with strong will were only shocked at first but delighted at the villain's suffering. It took away their home, their loved ones, and their future. The citizens with children ran out immediately, covering their eyes. The females and those with weak stomachs all ran out to the side to vomit.
Under the scream of the Barbarian King, his ripped arms once again regrew like a plant; they were endless. As long as his limbs were ripped, cut, removed, or destroyed, they would regrow almost immediately.
Those whose ends are like his are now pale with horror; they knew that after they were done with the Barbarian King, the next one would be them. The torture of the flesh and the mentality of having his torn limbs regenerate under such pain is too much for the Barbarian King to bear.
He watched himself get his arms and legs cut off, punch himself in the stomach and chest, and even see his heart beating while he was still alive. His shrieks were loud and continuous, and everyone who hated him so much enjoyed his agony.
The Barbarian King looked at Ye Jieye, wanting to hug his feet while pleading with him. Unfortunately, the end of the chain is in the hands of Lu Shang; he can't even reach the tips of Ye Jieye's feet.
"N-No... No more... F-Forgive me! I'm sorry. Please... Stop this.
Just... Kill me. I beg... you."
That night, when the Barbarians attacked their home and tortured them, did not they also beg like this? In the end, no matter how much they begged, those significant family members of theirs were still killed. They can never return. The Barbarian King begs, but the citizens yell at him for being shameless.
"Shameless! When we begged like this last night, you bastards just laughed and killed them!"
"Asking to be spared? Nonsense! This is something that serves you, right!?"
"Suffer. Cry. Screamed. When you ate my child alive, did he cry out like this too? Pei! You don't deserve to say sorry.
You monster!"
The people were yelling with fury, continuing to curse the entity that had destroyed their city and broken up their lovely family, believing that the Barbarian King was deserving of this kind of treatment.
Ye Jieye watched a few more hours and spoke up. "Lu Shang, the next one."
Lu Shang let go of the chain that was fastened to the Barbarian King's neck, stepping on its fingers and crushing it to powder without even looking at the Barbarian King. His expressionless face remained expressionless as he crushed the target to powder, coming over to grab the Barbarian Chief next and pulling him to his master's side.
The Barbarian Chief received the same regeneration blessings from Ye Jieye as a king, and he was subjected to another round of torture.
This time, it was Heavenly Guardian Yi Kun, who was subjected to twice as much torture because he shared the barbarian's level of pain tolerance and frequently fainted, only to be roused from unconsciousness by the application of salted water to his wounds before they regenerated.
After a few hours, the Barbarian King, the Barbarian Chief, and Heavenly Guardian Yi Kun were too exhausted by the amount of torture their bodies and minds had to endure, and they could not even escape after the torture ended. Lu Shang moved his gloves and wrote an isolation circle that prevented the three prisoners from escaping where they were.
Even though nothing but a simple circle on the ground can be seen, clearly the space where the prisoners can be moved is limited.
Lu Shang bowed his head before Ye Jieye and said, "My Lord, it's done."
Ye Jieye nodded and motioned for Lu Shang to step aside. Finally, he stood up from his black throne, which vanished as soon as he did, and approached the Barbarian King, grabbing its head.
"It's time for this lord to exterminate your whole kind."
The Barbarian King and Barbarian Chief trembled when they heard this evil man's words.
"When you attack my wife and my clan, you want to exterminate them, right? Unfortunately, you are too weak to kill them all. But I am not like you. If I want you guys to all disappear, then you can only be obliterated," Ye Jieye said. He used a soul search on the Barbarian King and found out all the tribe locations of their race. She screamed as he felt his soul being ripped apart.
AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
