CHAPTER 1168: CHAPTER 1168: TORMENTED TO DEATH!

The torrential rain continued to fall.

However, no matter how heavy the rain, it couldn’t extinguish the seven chilling flames in the center of the schoolyard!

The Heart Devouring Fire was extremely venomous, and mere rainwater was naturally incapable of extinguishing it.

Seeing those seven wandering Heart Devouring Fires, Zhao Xiongmo’s heart trembled suddenly.

For a moment, he only felt his scalp tingling.

"Put these seven pillars of fire together."

After igniting the fire pillars, Qin Chen spoke again.

Gu Qianjue nodded.

Then he gathered the seven fire pillars together.

Whhh—

Seven fire pillars were gathered together.

The seven Heart Devouring Fires started burning each other, and eventually, everyone could only see one gigantic Heart Devouring Fire.

"What... what do you mean?"

Zhao Xiongmo’s gaze turned to Qin Chen, and his voice trembled as he spoke.

"Enjoy the moment that’s coming next."

A hint of a smile appeared on Qin Chen’s face.

However, this smile seemed like a devilish grin in Zhao Xiongmo’s eyes.

Everyone felt an icy chill down their spines.

For the first time, they witnessed Qin Chen’s ruthlessness.

A single Heart Devouring Fire is enough to make one wish for death!

Seven? What could come of that?

With Qin Chen’s words, Qian Dao moved in front of Zhao Xiongmo, and before Zhao Xiongmo could speak, he hurled him straight into the gigantic Heart Devouring Fire.

Zhao Xiongmo’s clothes were incinerated clean off within less than a breath’s time.

The flames of the Heart Devouring Fire slithered like little snakes, burrowing into his body through the pores on his skin.

"Aagh!!!"

In an instant, a harrowing scream echoed throughout the schoolyard.

Listening to this scream, everyone could tell just how miserable Zhao Xiongmo was at this moment.

Yet, for all of Zhao Xiongmo’s suffering, there wasn’t a trace of sympathy in anyone’s eyes.

Who caused all this?

Wasn’t it Zhao Xiongmo himself!

He brought this upon himself, who could he blame?

"Kill me! Kill me! I’m begging you, kill me!!!"

Zhao Xiongmo cried out in agony, his face twisted beyond recognition.

Moreover, what makes the Heart Devouring Fire the most ruthless is.

It doesn’t let people die quickly.

It prolongs the suffering, making one die slowly in agonizing torment.

Moreover, Zhao Xiongmo was enduring the combined might of seven Heart Devouring Fires.

At this moment, Zhao Xiongmo had only one thought in his mind.

That was to die!

He couldn’t entertain any other thoughts!

He just wanted to die! To die quickly!

"Kill you?"

A light smile appeared on Qin Chen’s face, as if finding Zhao Xiongmo’s words amusing.

"Does it hurt?" Qin Chen suddenly asked.

"It hurts! It hurts too much! Indescribable pain! Worse than death! I’m begging you!! I beg you! Kill me! Kill me, please!!! Kill me!!!"

Zhao Xiongmo screamed frantically, his voice hoarse.

"Then when you were preparing these pillars of fire, why didn’t you think about the pain those people bound to them would endure?"

"Now, do you know pain?"

"No matter how painful, you better endure it! You better hold on!!!"

Suddenly, Qin Chen’s expression changed, and his face was full of anger.

"I was wrong! I really was wrong! Please kill me! Just give me a quick death!!!"

Zhao Xiongmo started to cry, overtaken by the pain!

Qin Chen’s face was cold and indifferent, and he even glanced sideways at Wen Tengqi.

He noticed, however, that there was not the slightest bit of mercy in Wen Tengqi’s eyes, but instead, coldness.

Seeing this, he was relieved.

"Teng Qi! Plead for your father! Plead for your father, please! Ask them to kill me!!!"

Zhao Xiongmo cried bitterly, seeing no hope in pleading with Qin Chen, and placing his hopes on Wen Tengqi instead.

"Father?"

"Who’s my father?"

"You?"

Wen Tengqi’s eyes sparkled with a sudden smile.

"Teng Qi! I have indeed done many things to wrong you! But, I only ask you for the sake of our father-son relationship, to kill me!!! I’m begging you!!"

Zhao Xiongmo found himself at a limit, unable to die, and the torture made him suffer immensely.

"I, Wen Tengqi, have only one father."

"His name was Li Yang."

"He’s dead."

"And he died... by your hand!!!"

Wen Tengqi’s emotions suddenly erupted, his eyes reddened.

His mind recalled the bloody scene of Li Yang and even Uncle Xin being slaughtered by Zhao Xiongmo.

"You... you bastards! My senior brother won’t let you get away with this!"

"He will avenge me!"

"What I’ve suffered today, you will certainly suffer the same in the future!!!"

Seeing that begging was hopeless, Zhao Xiongmo gave up on pleading and cursed loudly, venting his inner anger.

"Seal his mouth." Qin Chen said.

Gu Qianjue nodded, snapped his fingers, and an Elemental Power shot forth to seal Zhao Xiongmo’s mouth.

Zhao Xiongmo suddenly screamed frantically but was unable to make a sound.

Previously, he could at least vent some pain by shouting.

Now, without a voice, it made him all the more tortured.

Finally, after half a quarter passed.

Zhao Xiongmo finally stopped breathing.

The Heart Devouring Fire then fully burned his body into ashes, eventually washed away by the rain to an unknown place.

Only then did this world settle into silence.

All hearts shivered uncontrollably.

Recalling today’s scenes, especially the arrival of Gu Qianjue and others, and their respectful attitude toward Qin Chen, was something impossible to forget in one’s lifetime.

...

Imperial City Telekinesis Master Association.

The heavy rain continued to fall.

Wen Tengqi, Gu Qianjue, and others gathered there.

After half a day of discussions, Gu Qianjue and others returned to the West Origin.

Firstly, to deliver the news of the Shadow Ancestor exiting seclusion in nine days to duel Black Shadow.

Secondly, to take every possible step to weaken Black Shadow’s power before the Shadow Ancestor exited seclusion.

Thirdly, by unanimous decision, Wen Tengqi was elected as the President of the Imperial City Telekinesis Master Association.

This decision was nearly unanimously supported by the Imperial City Telekinesis Master Association.

Though Wen Tengqi was young, looking at the Elemental Power practitioners in the Great Origin Dynasty on the surface, Wen Tengqi was undoubtedly the strongest.

So, temporarily, no one was more suitable to assume the position of President than Wen Tengqi.

Furthermore, Wen Tengqi continued to fulfill Li Yang’s wish to reinvigorate the Imperial City Telekinesis Master Association.

Following this battle, the Imperial City Telekinesis Master Association suffered a significant loss of power, requiring a long period of recovery and rest.

Meanwhile, at the moment Wen Tengqi assumed the presidency, it was publicly announced that the Imperial City Telekinesis Master Association would join the Reverse Shadow Sect’s alliance.

"Young Master Qin."

Just then, a servant suddenly arrived from outside.

"What is it?" Qin Chen turned his head.

"Someone outside claims to be looking for you," the servant said.
