Unrivaled Soldier in the City

Chapter 720: Chapter 721: Solemn Heart

"Oh? It seems you’ve chosen the hard way. No problem. I’ll show you what a fate worse than death feels like!" Lin Kuang said in an icy tone, looking down at Matsuo Chihe.

The next moment, Lin Kuang squatted in front of Matsuo Chihe and applied the Bone-dislocating Hand.

Matsuo Chihe’s body was already racked with pain, but now, under Lin Kuang’s manipulation, he felt he was on the verge of death. The intense suffering made him yearn for it to end. For Matsuo Chihe at that moment, death would be a blessing.

"How does it feel? Pleasant, isn’t it?" Lin Kuang sneered, looking at the man before him.

Matsuo Chihe clenched his teeth, glaring at Lin Kuang with venomous eyes. "Damned scum from Hua Country, just you wait! The leader and the Master will surely avenge me. Sooner or later, you will die!"

"Oh? I don’t know when I’ll die, but I do know that right now, you are going to wish you were dead," Lin Kuang retorted with a cold smile.

He then started toying with Matsuo Chihe’s fingers. It is said that the fingers are connected to the heart, and as Lin Kuang manipulated them, Matsuo Chihe screamed in agony. Intense pain infiltrated his every nerve.

"Kill me! Kill me! If you have the guts, just kill me!" Matsuo Chihe shrieked, his voice turning hoarse.

Hearing this, Lin Kuang shook his head with a smile. "No, no, no. If I kill you just because you ask, I’d lose face. Don’t be in such a hurry. We have plenty of time to play. Let’s see who can outlast whom."

As he spoke, Lin Kuang’s cold smile returned, and he continued to torture Matsuo Chihe with the Bone-dislocating Hand. The man was surprisingly tough. Lin Kuang had been at it for ten minutes, yet he was still enduring.

Seeing this, Lin Kuang couldn’t help but frown. Pain loses its effect if it’s prolonged. A person gets used to it and gradually develops a resistance.

"Very well. You won’t talk, huh? No problem. Let’s try something more fun." With a sinister chuckle, Lin Kuang’s fingers began to tap across Matsuo Chihe’s body, stimulating the man’s pain nerves and amplifying his suffering many times over.

Immediately after, Lin Kuang applied the Bone-dislocating Hand again.

This time, Matsuo Chihe felt the pain magnified a hundred, even a thousand times over. It was utterly excruciating. Yet, he couldn’t pass out. The feeling of being better off dead made Matsuo Chihe wail in utter misery.

After another five minutes, Matsuo Chihe couldn’t take it anymore.

"I’ll talk! I’ll talk!" he screamed, his voice hoarse. His face was flushed red and his forehead was drenched in sweat. "If I talk, will you give me a quick death?"

"Correct," Lin Kuang said with a laugh, looking down at the man at his feet. "Once you tell me everything, I will end your life so you no longer have to suffer."

"Okay, I’ll talk! I’ll tell you anything! Just ask, and I’ll tell you everything I know," Matsuo Chihe said in a raspy voice. He simply couldn’t endure it any longer; the pain was more than any human could bear.

"That’s more like it," Lin Kuang nodded in satisfaction. "If you had spoken up sooner, I wouldn’t have had to put you through all this, would I?"

Hearing Lin Kuang’s words, Matsuo Chihe wanted to curse. If I had known I’d have to endure such inhuman torture, I would have talked long ago! Why would I have held out for so long?

"Alright, I have some questions. Is this the only location for your Yamata no Orochi organization in the Island Country? Are there any other branches? How many people do you have? And who are they?" Lin Kuang asked.

"There are no branches. Our Yamata no Orochi organization only has this one foothold," Matsuo Chihe said weakly. "As for how many of us there are, I’m not sure. I know even less about who they are. The complete roster is in the leader’s hands, and I don’t have the authority to see it."

Lin Kuang frowned. His powerful Perception enveloped Matsuo Chihe, and he could sense that the man wasn’t lying.

"It seems your knowledge is limited," Lin Kuang said aloud. "Let me ask you this, then: what is your leader’s name? What is he doing? And who exactly is your Master?"

"The leader went to the cabinet to discuss matters with its members. I don’t know the specifics, but it should be about dealing with something related to your Hua Country. Our leader is called Demon Ghost. As for his real name, no one knows; perhaps only the Master does. Our Master only appears on very rare occasions. When he does, he’s always dressed in black, completely concealing his face. His voice is hoarse, so we know nothing of his age or gender," Matsuo Chihe answered honestly.

I’m going to die anyway, so it doesn’t matter what I say. Otherwise, I’ll have to keep enduring this inhuman pain... He truly couldn’t hold on any longer.

Lin Kuang frowned again, irritated. So this guy’s knowledge really is limited. I thought he would know much more.

"So, this Demon Ghost, your leader... what is his position in the Demon Sect? Is your Master also from the Demon Sect?" Lin Kuang asked after a moment of thought.

"Yes, our leader is indeed from the Demon Sect, but I truly don’t know his position there. Every time our Master appears, the leader brings him, so I think the Master must also be from the Demon Sect," Matsuo Chihe replied.

Lin Kuang nodded. So they really are from the Demon Sect. This aligns with Wumi Building’s speculation.

"Then tell me, what is your leader’s strength? What about your Master’s? And how does your Master bestow power upon you?" Lin Kuang questioned again.

"Our leader’s strength should be at the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top realm, or possibly even Five Energies Towards The Origin. The leader never takes action, and I wouldn’t dare test his strength, so him being at least at the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top is the most conservative guess. As for our Master, we dare not speculate on his strength. However, it is absolutely immense. In our eyes, he is omnipotent." As Matsuo Chihe spoke of the Master, a hint of fanaticism crept back into his eyes. Clearly, in his mind, this Master was an incredibly powerful figure.

Lin Kuang frowned once more. If the leader alone is that strong, could their Master have reached the Ninth Layer Ascension Realm? If that’s the case, then their so-called Master might truly be invincible. After all, that’s a powerhouse of the Ninth Layer Ascension Realm!
