Chapter 375 Torture
"I will kill you, but there are many ways to kill you. For example, I can kill you with one sword."
Just under an abandoned broken bridge near Goutang, in a dirty bridge hole where no one would come on normal days, Zhao Yushu tied up the general whose cultivation was temporarily destroyed and threw him on the ground, then slowly drew out his sword.
"Of course, you can also kill for three to five days. Coincidentally, I was in a temple in Longmen, and a crazy monk told me a way to make a golden body. It takes about a month from start to finish. Do you want to listen?"
The general had tried to use his internal energy several times along the way, but had to admit in frustration that if he couldn't get timely treatment, he would most likely become a disabled person. With the way the underworld operated, if he became a disabled person, he would be close to death.
"Who are you? Where is Zhao Yushu? Do you know what will happen if you go against us?"
The general watched helplessly as Boss Bai easily tricked him, and then Zhao Yushu disappeared. Boss Bai was able to hide his skills. Was he also from the academy? When did the academy have such a master?
"I'll make some things clear in advance. I'll ask, you answer. If you can't answer, or you lie, then death will be a relief. If you understand, I'll continue. If you don't understand, you can keep asking."
"You are from the academy! Does the academy also use torture to extract confessions? Don't you claim to be gentlemen every day?" The general was making his last effort, trying to suppress others with righteousness and morality.
“Maybe they’ll flaunt it.”
A flash of cold light appeared, and blood oozed from the general's neck. Zhao Yushu raised his sword expressionlessly: "You can continue to ask questions. For each question I ask, I will stab you with the sword."
The general's eyes widened with anger, but he dared not say anything.
"Very good. I find that it is easier to use swords to deal with people like you. I have a few questions. After you answer them, you can go and die happily. I don't like to threaten others, so don't force me."
The general looked at the grim face of the man in front of him, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter. If those ugly scars disappeared, they would slowly overlap with the Mr. Six they had been thinking about.
"You are, Zhao Yushu!"
"The first question is, what exactly does the underworld want to do by offering this reward?"
"The academy has offended the underworld. Do they need a reason to arrest you?"
"wrong answer."
His ear felt cold and a sharp pain came. The general stared at the ear that had fallen to the ground in a daze. It was a long time before he let out a low scream.
"You! Zhao Yushu! The underworld will tear you into pieces!"
Zhao Yushu sighed inwardly. This general had no idea about the underworld’s plan. Didn’t the Seventh Heaven have the qualifications to know?
"Second question, by dealing with me, are you trying to deal with my senior brother?"
The general looked up suddenly. How could he know?
Zhao Yushu naturally didn't know and could only guess.
If the underworld just wanted to catch me, the man in black in Kunlun Prison could have done it directly. There would have been no need to resort to such a stunt. In other words, I was just the bait.
At worst, after leaving Dongdu, I can send a group of people to do it on the road. There is no need to offer a reward.
The underworld is either going to use itself as bait to set a trap to catch the old man like last time, but the remaining few of the top five in the world will not take action, so the underworld cannot do it.
Or, they want to use me to attract the attention of someone in the academy to cover up their real plan.
In the whole world, only Gu Changfeng can appear anywhere at any time, and Gu Changfeng is the number one among the five top masters. He is more professional than the old man in saving people, so it is highly likely that he wants to entangle the eldest senior brother.
But this was just my guess. However, judging from the expressions of the generals, I guessed right, and they have already succeeded for the most part. At least during the days when I was traveling from Dongdu to Xiangzhou, my senior brother must have been watching me.
Xiangzhou was just where they ended.
They knew all this, but still did it, which means they were not afraid of the eldest brother coming to Xiangzhou, or rather, they were looking forward to the eldest brother coming.
Their target is the eldest brother.
"The third question."
Zhao Yushu said as he was about to stab again.
"Wait! Wait! I haven't answered yet!"
A military general usually likes to torture others, but that doesn’t mean he can withstand the torture of others.
"I don't need your answer. This is the last question. If you can't answer it, I'll send you to make a golden statue. If you can answer it, I'll let you live."
The general was stunned: "You won't kill me?"
"I will release you in the evening. I will give you one stick of incense. Run as far as you can before sunset. After sunset, I will kill you."
When you block all of the opponent's routes first, and then open a small opening, no matter how small the opening is, the opponent will frantically seize this opportunity. Behavioral psychology has been proven time and time again.
"really?"
"You may not believe it, but I will kill you now."
"No! You ask!"
"Where is the interior of the underworld in Xiangzhou this time?"
The general's eyes dimmed: "Outside the South City Water Gate."
It turns out there are not three underworlds.
It turns out that the third underworld in the Dog Hall is not an interior scene.
Zhao Yushu breathed a sigh of relief. The letter from the academy said that there was no need to worry about Nei Jing, which meant that Nei Jing was already under the academy's surveillance or control. Then, if things didn't go well for him in Xiangzhou, the direction he needed to escape to was the South City Water Gate, because there were their big bosses there to keep the situation under control.
I hope it’s not Boss Gu who comes.
"You can sleep here for a while, get some rest, and wait for a good run in the evening."
A silver needle pierced into the back of the general's head. The general rolled his eyes and fell to the side with a plop.
This time Zhao Yushu inserted the needle very deep. If he didn't come to remove the needle, the general would have died in his sleep. He still had a wound in his abdomen. If he didn't live until dusk, it would be his own bad luck.
Zhao Yushu is not a pushover. He must kill the people from the underworld, but he needs a military general to lure out the last person from the underworld in the city.
An injured dog will instinctively run to its owner.
The opponent is not in the interior scene, at most he is in the exterior scene of the ninth heaven. You can try to see if you can kill a ninth heaven warrior head-on.
This general does not have a high status and can provide limited information, but at least the last two are very useful.
Zhao Yushu walked back to the street and went to the bookstore immediately. He wrote a letter to the academy telling him his speculation and asked the bookstore to expedite the delivery and pay the postage.
Then he quietly returned to the inn and waited for the sunset.
-------------------------------------
Zhang Chun was a little anxious. Half a day had passed, and the companion who claimed to go back to report had not returned yet. However, he had the lowest cultivation level and the lowest status, so he did not dare to go back and ask rashly.
Anyway, Zhao Yushu didn't show up to kill Jiao Niang, so I might as well just keep an eye on her.
But what if Zhao Yushu showed up? According to the latest news, he has reached the fifth level, and he killed a seventh level in front of so many masters last night. Wouldn’t it be like killing an ant to kill a mere third level?
Zhang Chun subconsciously touched his eye patch. He had been greedy at first and teamed up with his brother to oppose the Sixth Master of the Academy. He never thought that it would come to this today.
His younger brother was dead, he was a half-human, and he had completely gotten into trouble with the huge academy. If it weren't for the fact that the academy was truly upright, his entire Nanyang family would have been overthrown.
Unfortunately, once some things are done, there is no chance to turn back. Now there is no way forward for him to choose. He can only bet on the mysterious and powerful underworld to completely overthrow the academy.
Zhang Chun clenched his fists, looked at the slowly setting sun outside, and felt a sudden sense of panic for no reason.
Will the academy be overthrown?
