Chapter 835: Interrogates With Torture
Qiu Chengwang flew backward and looked at Multi-armed King Kong with fear.
King Kong’s aura was not extremely steady yet, which was evident that it was a newly advanced Venerable One. Nonetheless, the strength that it displayed was so powerful that it could not be compared by even an experienced Venerable One, let alone a newly advanced Venerable One.
More importantly, Multi-armed King Kong’s violence and savagery from its bones, as well as the momentum that it displayed, suppressed Qiu Chengwang completely.
The king kong’s intense momentum was not because the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One was there to hold the line; it was instinctive. Now that it longer needed to protect Ou Yangming and was not constrained, it vented its grievance from before. Moreover, the breakout was 10 times or 100 times greater, and its power was unstoppable like an erupted volcano.
Without being able to use formation boards, Qiu Chengwang was finally captured by the momentum and was defeated.
The man scoffed angrily and incited a power inside his body. He endured the immense pain while he soared into the sky as he wanted to flee.
It was worth noting that Venerable Ones could communicate with the universe. It would be easy for them to defeat each other, but it would be difficult to kill each other.
If Qiu Chengwang really put down his ego and focused on escaping, he might be able to get away even without using formation boards.
Nevertheless, just as Qiu Chengwang soared into the sky, before he could even exert his force, an enormous figure appeared in front of him. Next, a giant palm slammed down like a fly hitting a mosquito. A surging and unbelievably magnanimous power struck him.
No shrieks were heard at all because every sound was forcibly fended off by this attack.
“Boom…”
Qiu Chengwang’s body crashed into the ground like a meteorite, causing a deep hole of several meters to be formed.
Instead of looking like a graceful man, he was covered in mud and was in a mess.
Just as Qiu Chengwang twisted his body to try to break free once more, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One in the sky kept waving its hand. Visible energies were instantly gathered, and they transformed into lusters that landed on the black-robed man at lightning speed.
Qiu Chengwang instantly turned pale. He thought bitterly, ‘I got tricked…’
While he was fighting recklessly against Multi-armed King Kong, the top-grade Venerable One was not standing by idly. Instead, it left its powers around. Once they were activated, they formed an Inescapable Trap that stopped him from getting away.
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One was a top-grade Venerable One, and yet it used a petty trick that was better kept under the table. As such, Qiu Chengwang miscalculated his plan.
Even so, he was not going to turn himself in like that. He struggled to operate the spiritual power inside his body as he wanted to break loose from the lights.
Despite that, the lights had been accumulated by the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One for a long time. The Venerable One had invested all of its energies for this, hence they could not be resisted by Qiu Chengwang, who was caught off guard.
Eventually, Qiu Chengwang’s body shriveled as though he was restrained by an invisible power. He could not struggle anymore.
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One suddenly widened its eyes and shouted, “Trap!”
Qiu Chengwang finally shrieked. His body twisted strangely, and his spiritual power was also cut off by the power that invaded his body from the outside. Consequently, he lay on the ground in an embarrassing state and could not get up anymore.
Multi-armed King Kong flashed to Qiu Chengwang’s side but seeing as he could no longer move, it could not bring itself to punch with its fully-charged fist.
If this was a normal fight, Multi-armed King Kong would have been as ferocious as it could be without any concerns. However, in the situation where it was going against a powerless person, even if that person was a Venerable One, its ego did not allow it to attack further.
On the other hand, Ou Yangming was finally relieved. Sure enough, a fight between Venerable Ones was appalling. In comparison, fights between Spiritualists were simply child’s play.
Qiu Chengwang fell to the ground. He could not move his body anymore, but he could still speak. Therefore, the man questioned with a ghastly look on his face, “10,000 Beasts Venerable One, why did you sneak an attack against me?”
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One asked him in return, “You recognize me?”
Qiu Chengwang was stunned. An unnatural look was seen in his eyes as he answered, “10,000 Beasts Venerable One, you’re the master of the 10,000 Beasts Ridge. I’m not so ill-informed as to have not heard of you before.”
“Heh, bullsh*t.” The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One was scornful. “The 10,000 Beasts Ridge is quite reputable, but I don’t believe that we’re well-known in Zhangzhou. Qiu Chengwang, why did you come to the Beast King Sect and sneak an attack against Master Ou?”
Qiu Chengwang’s eyes flickered. He asked abruptly, “How do you know my name?”
The 10,000 Beasts laughed. “I went to Mount Wuzhi and saw the powerhouses from Zhangzhou, but I didn’t show up because the Big Smithing Competition is an event among the Humans.”
Qiu Chengwang’s eyes were ever-changing. He looked slightly regretful.
Had he known the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One and Ou Yangming shared such a close relationship, he would not have acted rashly.
In any case, it was too late for him to regret it.
Multi-armed King Kong smiled sinisterly and asked, “Are you not going to answer the question?” Pops were heard coming from its bones, and it looked like it was looking forward to something.
Qiu Chengwang’s face changed, and he immediately replied to it, “Your Excellency, let’s talk things out.”
The king kong scoffed angrily, “Why didn’t you talk things out when you pried on the side earlier and attacked us?” It punched the man hard.
Multi-armed King Kong could not bring itself to beat up a wounded person without reason, but it was not a mental obstacle for it to interrogate an enemy with torture.
Qiu Chengwang’s face twisted when it was hit. He looked so hideous that one could even feel his pain by just looking at him.
Needless to say, the punch was not as simple as it looked. Multi-armed King Kong had probably adopted a secret technique, which was unbearable for even a Venerable One like Qiu Chengwang.
The king kong sneered. “I’d like to see how many punches your tough body can take!” Before its voice died away, it swung its fists hard at Qiu Chengwang one after another.
Qiu Chengwang kept curling up and twisting his body as if he was a sea shrimp that had just been caught. He could not help but groan as well.
Given how a pair of fists could make a Venerable One forget himself so easily, Multi-armed King Kong was quite amazing.
Ou Yangming turned to look at the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One. He moved his lips but was hesitant to speak.
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One chuckled and asked, “Master Ou, do you have something to say?”
Ou Yangming nodded. “Senior, are we letting him die just like that?”
The Venerable One frowned. “Master Ou, since he attacked you sneakily and wanted to capture you, he definitely has ill intentions. If we let him go, I’m afraid that there’ll only be more problems.”
“Senior, you misunderstood; I’m not trying to beg mercy for him.” Ou Yangming laughed then explained seriously, “He’s from Zhangzhou, which is very far away. I’m sure he didn’t show up here without a reason.”
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One was dumbfounded for a while before it laughed. “Master Ou, I understand. This is why King Kong’s questioning him closely now.”
Ou Yangming glanced at King Kong and Qiu Chengwang as he asked, “Senior, do you think that King Kong’s method is going to work?”
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One was startled for some time. “That… Depends on its luck…”
In actuality, he knew every Venerable One had incredibly strong wills.
No matter how valiant and queer the powers contained in Multi-armed King Kong’s fists, it could not crush a Venerable One’s mentality with such a punishment. In fact, not to mention the king kong, even the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One would find it tough to get something out of another Venerable One.
Ou Yangming grinned. “Senior, if that’s the case, why don’t you let me try?”
“You?” The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One furrowed its eyebrows. “Master Ou, that doesn’t sound appropriate. He’s not a Spiritualist, but a Venerable One.”
It naturally knew Ou Yangming must have some special tricks as the Phoenixes’ messenger.
Having said that, as lacking as Qiu Chengwang was, he was still a Venerable One. At the end of the day, there was a substantial disparity between a Venerable One and a Spiritualist.
If Qiu Chengwang was handed to Ou Yangming, who ended up being harmed due to a slight mistake, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One’s good intention would yield a bad result.
Ou Yangming smiled and assured the Venerable One. “Senior, I’m confident about this.”
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One shook its head after some thought. “Master Ou, you’re an important person. This will affect a lot of things, so I can’t take the risk.” It paused for a while before it explained, “Even if this fella’s a top-grade Spiritualist, I’m sure I can stop him at any time. However, since he’s a Venerable One and is from Reborn in Paradise, I dare not take the risk because he uses odd formation maps.
Ou Yangming chuckled. He was not furious because he had a feeling that the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One was not going to agree to this easily.
That said, he also had his thoughts and was absolutely confident.
“Senior, I have an interrogation method, which I won’t be leaving your sight. You can watch from the side and stop me at any time if you see that something’s off.”
Nonetheless, regardless of what Ou Yangming said, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One was determined not to take even half a step back.
Ou Yangming became impatient after some time, thus he sighed and noted, “Senior, I plan to smith another Thunderbolt-resistant Suit and more Earthly Formation Boards after some time. Ah, I wonder if there are other top-grade beasts like King Kong.”
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One raised its eyebrows and twitched its mouth hard. It finally responded, “Master Ou, if you insist on interrogating him, you can, but you must be careful, careful, and more careful…”
