Chapter 465: Chapter 464: Torture Killing

"Dog owner, what are you doing? Why haven’t you killed him to escape yet?" Jian Lingyan urgently reminded Xie Jiuniang not to dawdle and to quickly make her escape.

Upon hearing this, Xie Jiuniang’s actions hesitated slightly, "Escape? I never thought about running away."

This wasn’t just an empty statement.

She truly had no intention of escaping.

In several premonitions, Xie Jiuniang had managed to kill the Mo Family’s patriarch with the fastest speed, even believing she had erased all traces, yet her presence was still revealed, and she didn’t even leave the boundary.

On the contrary, because she fled out of guilt, the punishment was even heavier.

Xie Jiuniang suddenly plunged the knife into the Mo Family patriarch’s abdomen, just above a certain spot.

The Mo Family patriarch’s eyes abruptly widened.

Was a meridian on his body severed?!

The next moment, filled with rage, he attempted to strike Xie Jiuniang. A Divinity Transformation, even one whose cultivation base was sealed, still possessed an extremely formidable physical body; at such a close distance, someone unguarded could easily suffer a loss.

However, Xie Jiuniang remained unmoved.

Just as the Mo Family patriarch was about to lash out, the inconspicuous chains on him flashed with spiritual light as if coming to life, rapidly binding the Mo Family patriarch tightly.

The Prisoner’s Chains were a Spiritual Artifact.

One with an Artifact Spirit.

It was likely that its owner had issued some command, not allowing the prisoner to harm anyone. As long as the prisoner thought of attacking someone, it would dutifully intervene; otherwise, it would play dead.

Xie Jiuniang was extremely pleased with this.

Then with several slashes, she severed the Mo Family patriarch’s eight extraordinary meridians.

Now, even if the seals on the Mo Family patriarch were released, he would be unable to move his cultivation base or muster his spiritual power for quite some time.

"I’ll switch to a smaller knife." Xie Jiuniang rummaged through her Storage Ring, finding a knife as thin as cicada wings, "Cutting flesh with this can last longer. You should be grateful to me; without me, you wouldn’t have the chance to experience what ’death by a thousand cuts’ truly means."

She said this but also acted accordingly.

Grateful?

The Mo Family patriarch was so "grateful" he wanted to kill her.

However, his body was sealed by the Alliance Hierarch, and no matter what he did, he couldn’t break through; he couldn’t even self-destruct.

Xie Jiuniang started with his right leg.

One knife followed by another, each slice removing a piece of flesh.

Her movements with the knife were neither fast nor slow.

Before cutting, she sealed his blood vessels, and when she did cut, there wasn’t the slightest hesitation.

The Mo Family patriarch had never imagined that one day he would be dismembered slice by slice; when the flesh on both legs was gone, revealing chilling white bones, Xie Jiuniang switched to a sledgehammer, shattering them piece by piece.

His legs disappeared right before his very eyes.

The Mo Family patriarch’s eyes reflected terror and rage intertwined, his mouth stuffed so he couldn’t speak, and when he tried to use his Divine Sense, he triggered the prohibition the Alliance Hierarch had placed in his Sea of Consciousness, causing his Spiritual Soul to suffer intense pain.

Even more severe than the agony that came from his legs just before!

To the Mo Family patriarch, Xie Jiuniang at that moment seemed as horrific as any demon.

Not much time had passed.

There wasn’t a single piece of good flesh left on the Mo Family patriarch’s body.

The flesh from his limbs had been sliced off and lay piled aside, his finger bones were hammered into segments and then smashed to dust before him. Even with the Mo Family patriarch’s strong mind, it was almost collapsing; he now wished fervently that he could flay Xie Jiuniang alive.

But Xie Jiuniang did not stop.

She disemboweled him, chopped his body into pieces, sliced off his ears, and then gouged out his eyes, deliberately avoiding his heart or any fatal areas, making him soberly experience his step-by-step approach toward death.

The scene of the gruesome dismemberment was blood-soaked.

It was shocking and horrifying to witness.

Even Jian Lingyan, who had observed the entire scene, was hiding far away, its sword body shivering with fear.

Very few in the Cultivation World would do such a thing.

Because those who did were often Evil Cultivators.

Xie Jiuniang looked at her blood-stained hands, and with a slight movement of her spiritual power, she performed the Dust Cleansing Technique to clean the blood off, only to see the body lying on the ground, which could hardly be called human, with its chest still faintly heaving.

She had used a method to keep him from dying.

After a long silence, Xie Jiuniang suddenly spoke again, "Do you think that if you die, I won’t be able to escape? To tell you the truth, you will not remain the only Ninth Grade very soon."

What does that mean?!

The Mo Family Patriarch’s body was nearly reduced to a mass of blood and flesh, but his spiritual soul was strong, and he could still hear Xie Jiuniang’s words.

So quickly someone had made a breakthrough?

No wonder Lan Yuanming hadn’t shown up for so long.

It turned out that someone was about to break through, and he was going to be abandoned!

How could he dare?

He had always been aware that high-grade Spirit Plants were limited in the Cultivation World; if one wanted to monopolize the scarce high-grade Spirit Plants to enhance their alchemy experience, they had to become the only Ninth Grade Alchemist in the entire Cultivation World.

The only one!

There was no need for a second to appear.

It was not that there had never been others with the same alchemy talent as him, but unfortunately, all of them had met with accidents, one way or another. At first, there were suspicions about the Mo Family.

However, after a genius from the Mo Family in Medical Immortal Valley also died in an accident halfway through, no one suspected the Mo Family anymore.

In fact, it wasn’t the Mo Family’s doing.

It was just the Mo Family Patriarch eliminating dissenters on his own. Recently, being forcibly kept at the border by the Alliance Hierarch had actually given the alchemists in the Cultivation World a chance to breathe; Seventh and Eighth-Rank Alchemists emerged like bamboo shoots after a rain.

Tianxu Sect alone had two Eighth-Rank Alchemists, but Muhong was the younger one and the most hopeful to break through to Ninth Grade.

In his anger, the Mo Family Patriarch began to truly sense the crisis.

He did not know that the Alliance Hierarch was entangled by the Demon Lord; he only thought that the Alliance Hierarch had given up on him. Even when his body was hanging on by a thread, torn and shattered, he had not given up hope.

Now he was truly in despair...

Just then, Xie Jiuniang spoke with full malice, "You know what? Your manual was very useful, and the Mo Family’s alchemy scriptures aren’t bad. I gave a copy to True Lord Muhong, and because of that, I’ve broken through from a Sixth-Rank to an Eighth-Rank, and soon I will break through to Ninth Grade."

Upon hearing this, the Mo Family Patriarch felt a blockage in his chest.

His missing Storage Ring had fallen into Xie Jiuniang’s hands?

Thinking of the items in the Storage Ring benefitting his enemy, the Mo Family Patriarch’s Sea of Consciousness became unstable, desperately trying to break through the Alliance Hierarch’s seal, now unmindful of the excruciating pain, because if he didn’t break free, he was going to die!

Xie Jiuniang watched coldly as he struggled in his death throes.

Her gaze shifted and fell onto the chains nearby.

In this Water Cell, the chains binding the prisoners were quite interesting. As Xie Jiuniang sliced through the flesh, they did nothing to stop her. Wherever she cut, they would retreat and give space.

Every time the Mo Family Patriarch lashed out, attempting to kill her, the chains would wrap him up tightly.

Now, there was blood scattered all over the floor.

Had Xie Jiuniang not manually kept him alive, the sheer loss of blood would have killed him long ago.

At this moment, she slowly raised her right hand, and suddenly, a Broken Sword appeared in her palm, ready to stab towards the Mo Family Patriarch’s brow.

She was after his life!

At that moment, the Mo Family Patriarch’s face became pale with terror.

"Stop!"

There was a loud shout, and someone furiously yelled from outside.
