Chapter 581: Chapter 580: Can’t Cry

```

The fire is not ordinary fire; the copper is not ordinary copper.

But the people are not ordinary either!

The two individuals on the copper column are both powerful cultivators, their bodies have been trained to be extremely strong. And the seal binding them is not complete.

It is precisely because of this that their suffering is all the more brutal.

They can acutely feel the pain rising from their feet, and even the sensation of the pain slowly creeping up their bodies is crystal clear.

Even if they wanted to die quickly, it wouldn’t be so easy.

Their physical bodies were originally capable of resisting flames; they could only die slowly amidst the scorching heat!

One minute, two minutes! Ten minutes!

Prince Tito, however, was leisurely and enjoying the scene with great relish.

Today, there were no gladiatorial fights, yet he had called over a group of his confidants to accompany him.

"Come, place your bets, place your bets. Today, this prince is wagering with you all, on how long these two men can hold on. Whoever wins will be rewarded by this prince with a hundred thousand high-grade Primordial Stones and ten beauties!!"

Prince Tito laughed heartily, having summoned all the lead generals of the mine to join him in drinking and betting.

These lead generals naturally understood the temperament of their prince, and they all eagerly placed their bets, producing their stakes.

"An hour, these two people will surely die!"

"I think it will be an hour and a quarter."

...

Over a hundred lead generals had now become like those wealthy patrons who usually place bets at the gladiator ring, each of them excited beyond measure. Moreover, some were even cheering towards the fire basin and copper column, urging the two individuals to hold on a little longer.

The Gu Country Soldiers were inexplicably excited, cheering in unison, but those more than a thousand Earth slaves were exceptionally furious, with some already in tears.

Atop the copper column, the two burly men’s feet had already been burned to ash, and they could only stand on their knees.

Around them, those betting Gu Country generals kept shouting encouragements, while some were sighing in the dark due to the passing time and their failed bets.

Before long, the two Earth men could no longer stand, their lower bodies were scorched, crumbled, and they could only lie down.

But, from beginning to end, the two individuals remained silent, enduring the indescribable and inhuman pain.

Among the Earth slaves, the number of people crying increased, and then the weeping coalesced into a chorus.

Mocking laughter erupted from the Gu Country Soldiers, as they pointed and gestured at the crowd.

"Brothers! Be strong, don’t cry, the enemy will laugh!"

Suddenly, someone shouted loudly.

Don’t cry, the enemy will laugh!

Some wanted to revolt, but were held down by others.

Now was not the time to rebel; they simply could not, it would only be a waste of life.

"Stay alive, stay alive! Only by staying alive can we possibly have revenge! Even if it means groveling to survive!"

The Earth slaves grew quiet, furious, yet all refrained.

In this moment, no one wept, no one stood.

Endure!

Lie dormant!

Wait!

Do not let the brothers’ deaths be in vain!

```

"Boom!"

After an indeterminable amount of time, the two people on the bronze column finally lost all signs of life, their heads dropping and making a thunderous noise as they struck the column.

But their burnt corpses, charred black, still remained affixed to the column.

"Dead? That didn’t last long."

Prince Tito looked at the two blackened corpses with disdain and a sense of unfulfillment.

Then he stood up, walked to the edge of the stand, and shouted down at the Earthling slaves in the execution ground: "Any of you still got the guts, come forth now, today your prince will entertain you to the fullest!"

The execution ground was eerily silent, filled only with the desolate sound of the wind and the sizzling noise from the burning bodies echoing back.

The slaves, each with a face full of anger, remained immobile, not even one speaking out.

Prince Tito stood on the stand for a long while, finally sneering with boundless contempt and disdain: "What a bunch of trash, you were all so full of bluster just a moment ago, calling for a strike, and now you’re like docile grandsons? Rubbish. Let me tell you, you only get one chance, if you don’t come out now, then don’t you damn whine to me later! If you don’t come out now, then go work in the damned mines for me!"

Silence reigned; the execution ground remained silent, and Prince Tito’s voice echoed over it, meeting the resentful stares of the people, yet no further words were spoken.

Survive, survive, only then there’s a chance for revenge!

Time ticked away, second by second. Prince Tito seemed to regard the silence with regret, spitting out a mouthful of saliva, cursing: "Since no one’s making a peep, then go work in the mines for me! No eating for a month! And if anyone dares to not comply, I’ll have them try out this bronze column!"

Following that, Gu Country Soldiers began herding people towards the mine’s entrance.

The people were filled with rage, yet no one took action.

Prince Tito scoffed continuously: "You really wait to see the coffin before you cry, looks like there weren’t enough deaths today, should I unleash a massacre?!"

Just as he finished speaking, suddenly, a soldier came running in from outside, knelt not far from Prince Tito, his head dripping with sweat: "Report! Your Highness, there’s an Earthling outsider asking us to open the fort gate!"

"What?" Prince Tito startled, then grew furious: "You blockheads, some Earthling comes asking you to open the gate and you don’t know what to do? Bring him in!"

"But... but those we sent to capture him... they’ve all been killed by him..." The soldier didn’t even dare to wipe the sweat from his forehead, speaking with trembling fear.

Prince Tito froze at the news.

It was as if his ears were malfunctioning, disbelief written on his face.

"Your Highness, let me kill that Earthling! To actually dare cause trouble here, he must not know the meaning of death!"

A general came forward from the side, speaking angrily.

It was then that Prince Tito came to his senses; he had summoned all the generals to the execution ground for entertainment, leaving no high-ranking officer to guard the fort. If that person were truly a master, they indeed lacked the means to deal with him.

"Is he alone?" However, Prince Tito paused to reconsider, feeling something amiss.

An Earthling, running over here solo, wasn’t that a death wish?

Any sensible Earthling would not do such a thing.

Could it be, that the Earthlings from Lin City have launched an attack?

Prince Tito’s lips curled in anticipation.

The soldier, with his head bowed, said with certainty: "He’s alone."

"Alone and he dares to come here? Does he think he can take down my fortress fortress by himself? Hahaha, what a joke!"

Prince Tito’s eyes glanced at the general beside him, ordering: "You, go, bring that man to me. Since this Earthling is so arrogant, and even killed my soldiers, then, let him stand a session on this bronze column, and in the meantime, let these disobedient slaves have another spectacle to enjoy!"

"Yes!" The general took the order and immediately headed towards the fortress gate.

Meanwhile, Prince Tito smirked continuously, his gaze sweeping over the execution ground. He hummed coldly and seemed deep in thought about something.

At this moment, outside the Mine Fortress gate, a dozen or more bodies of Gu Country Soldiers lay scattered on the ground.

Blood permeated the air, creating an indescribable bloody scent.

In front of the imposing fifty-meter-tall fortress gate, which stood desolate and empty, Lin Hao stood amid those bodies, staring at the gate ahead.
