Chapter 686: Chapter 687 The Tactics Played So Beautifully_1

"It itches, oh how it itches!" Following that, as if they had caught a contagious disease, the other three burly men also began to cry out in alarm.

Soon, the four of them were frantically scratching themselves all over their bodies.

"What, what did you just give us to eat!" Seeing this, the leader’s face turned deathly pale in an instant.

He looked at Li Changlin with horror, his body beginning to tremble.

Gradually, the leader also felt an itch starting on his body, especially from within.

The itch was intermixed with sharp pains.

However, instinctively, the leader couldn’t help but scratch fiercely at his skin.

Yet, this was just the beginning.

The power of the Life and Death Charm lay in its endless cycle of torment.

The first onset was the easiest to endure.

Especially since the four subordinates led by the leader were all at the late stage of Mingjin or above.

Therefore, compared to the early stage Mingjin experts from the Golden Tiger Gang and the Sanjiang Gang, their endurance was much stronger.

However, it was useless.

After enduring five rounds of excruciating torment, the two strong men with late-stage Mingjin cultivation were the first to break down, crying out in misery for mercy.

Following them, the two strong men at the Mingjin Peak also started begging aloud.

Li Changlin was usually quite agreeable with those who begged for mercy.

He took out four antidotes and spoke indifferently, "As long as you’re willing to submit to me as your master, I’ll give you the antidotes now to temporarily suppress the power of the Life and Death Charm. Rest assured, as long as you obediently follow my orders in the future, I guarantee I won’t harm you in the slightest. Of course, if you dare to be deceitful, then don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

"I, I submit, I submit, I, Wang Zhaoshan, greet my master." Hearing Li Changlin’s words, a conflicted expression appeared on the faces of the four strong men.

However, at that moment, the Life and Death Charm on their bodies began to act up again.

Immediately, one of them couldn’t bear it and started to scream miserably.

"Good, here’s an antidote for you." Without being excessive, Li Changlin promptly flicked an antidote into Wang Zhaoshan’s mouth.

Suddenly, the Life and Death Charm within Wang Zhaoshan was suppressed.

"I, Wang Zhicheng, also submit, greet my master." Then, the second strong man in the late stage of Mingjin bowed his once proud head as well.

Under the power of the Life and Death Charm, no one could withstand it.

Quickly, the other two could no longer bear the intense torture and had no choice but to submit.

Clearly pleased with the outcome, Li Changlin flicked the antidotes into their mouths as well.

Having subdued the four strong men, Li Changlin then turned his cold gaze towards the leader.

At this moment, the guy was still desperately hanging on.

However, judging by his clenched teeth, his pallid face, and bloodshot eyes, it was clear that the leader’s endurance had reached its limit.

With each occurrence, the itch and pain of the Life and Death Charm doubled in intensity. Only if one could endure through twenty-eight cycles would the level of itch and pain gradually decrease.

But with the leader’s constitution, it was impossible for him to endure through eighteen cycles.

Moreover, even if the leader managed to endure today’s torment of the Life and Death Charm, what about tomorrow, or the day after?

This Life and Death Charm was relentless.

Once the Life and Death Charm began its effect, even those wanting to end their own lives were powerless to do so, left without any choice.

As for the brief five-minute intervals of relief that followed the itching and pain, how many would truly consider dying during that time?

The disappearance of the pain would likely make some believe, perhaps wishfully, that they had finally endured through it.

But before the relief in their hearts could dissipate, what followed was an even more unbearable torment.

So it was said that this Life and Death Charm really made it impossible for one to live or to die!

At this moment, the man leading them had reached his limit.

When the seventh wave of itching and pain struck, he finally could not hold on any longer.

With a wail of agony, the leading man rolled on the ground in pain, his suit torn to shreds.

"Spare me, Master, spare me, I, Wang Haoji, kneel before you."

He was truly afraid.

The torment of itching and pain almost drove him to collapse.

"Good, very good," Li Changlin nodded in satisfaction, naturally handing Wang Haoji the antidote, "Everyone get up."

Having subdued the five men, Li Changlin’s gaze shifted, and he immediately had an idea.

He then took out six Life Fruits, "Eat one each, Wang Haoji, you eat two."

"Master, this, what is this?" Wang Haoji asked with a tense gaze, full of dread.

"This is the Holy Fruit of my sect, the Life Fruit; eating one can increase your strength by a hundred catties," Li Changlin said with a slight upturn at the corner of his mouth.

"Just one can increase strength by a hundred catties?" Upon hearing this, all five men gasped in amazement.

"That’s right, do you really think I have any need to deceive you?" Li Changlin’s expression turned stern as he coldly huffed.

"We dare not, we dare not," Wang Haoji and the others quickly bowed their heads.

They’d had enough of the torture from the Life and Death Charm.

"Well then, everyone eat up," Li Changlin waved his hand, tossing a Life Fruit into each person’s hands.

"Yes!" Though they still harbored some doubts, the five men didn’t dare to entertain any thoughts of defiance.

So, they obediently ate the Life Fruits.

"This..."

"I feel like my strength has instantly increased by a lot."

"It’s actually true."

"Incredible!"

"Amazing magic."

After eating the Life Fruits, the bodies of the five men immediately reacted.

Especially Wang Haoji, who had eaten two, experienced an even more pronounced transformation in his body.

"In the future, as long as you obediently follow my commands, as for the Life Fruits, well, my sect has an orchard full of them," Li Changlin thought with a smirk, giving off an air of profound mystery.

Hiss!

At his words, the expressions on their faces suddenly became even more animated.

Just now, they had all speculated about Li Changlin’s background.

Now, hearing what Li Changlin said, they became even more convinced that Li Changlin had an extraordinary origin.

He could very well come from an Ancient Martial Family, definitely one that could rival The Eight Great Families of the Capital.

At this moment, they no longer dared to harbor any other thoughts.

Deep down, they had also resigned themselves to their fate.

"You needn’t be conflicted, these Ginseng Fruits are as commonplace as radishes to our sect, and as long as you continuously enhance your abilities, I will reward you according to your realm in the future. Additionally, if your strength can reach the stage of Void Force, then I will completely resolve the Life and Death Charm for you," a slap followed by a sweet date, then offering a hope that could not be fulfilled in a short period—Li Changlin’s tactics were becoming more and more adept.
