CHAPTER 2146: CHAPTER 2145: DEATH BY A THOUSAND CUTS

As the sound fell, a shadow gradually formed.

It was Lin Dong’s ’Demon Shadow’.

However, the Demon Shadow was shrouded in darkness, and not even Sato Akito, let alone Earth Realm martial artists, could see his true face.

Even some Heavenly Realm martial artists of the First Heaven couldn’t perceive his ’Demon Shadow’.

As for the voice, Lin Dong had of course altered it.

The voice was extremely hoarse, carrying infinite chill, as if coming from the Nine Gates of Hell’s demon.

Not even Nangong Hong could discern his voice.

But upon seeing someone coming to save her, she immediately cupped her hands and said: "Senior, I request you to strike and kill this Eastern Warrior!"

"As long as you can kill him, I am willing to pay any price!"

’Lin Dong’ said in a deep voice: "No need for you to say, I will certainly slaughter him."

After saying this, ’Lin Dong’ looked at Sato Akito and continued to ask coldly: "Tell me, how do you want to die?"

Sato Akito couldn’t see through ’Lin Dong’, but judging by his momentum, he deduced that his strength was far superior.

Highly likely an Earth Realm martial artist.

If fought alone, he deemed himself no match for him in single combat.

Thus, he secretly signaled a ninja he had brought to discretely notify the Earth Realm martial artist expert from the Lin family.

Yes, that Lin family’s Earth Realm martial artist expert didn’t accompany him. He’s currently in another place enjoying ’tenderness’.

But it’s not far from here.

Roughly only a few kilometers; if signaled, he could arrive soon.

’Lin Dong’ naturally noticed his signal, but purposely chose not to expose it.

Since the opponent is notifying more people to come to die, why should Lin Dong stop them?

After Sato Akito did this, he intentionally began to stall for time.

He became ’humble’, cupping his hands and saying: "Esteemed martial arts expert, may I know who you are?"

Lin Dong didn’t answer but asked again: "I asked you, how do you wish to die?"

Seeing ’Lin Dong’ being ruthless and determined to kill him, he hurriedly revealed his backing.

"Brother, you mustn’t kill me. Do you know whose man I am? I belong to the Lin Family from the Capital City, Young Master Lin of Lin Tiance!"

"In the Dragon Country Martial Arts World, few dare to offend Young Master Lin Tiance. If you kill me, you will accompany me to your grave."

Lin Dong sneered: "Lin Tiance? It won’t be long before he joins you in death."

After saying this, his figure vanished with a ’swish’.

Not even Sato Akito, this Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist, could see Lin Dong’s shadow.

His speed was too fast!

When he reappeared, he was already in front of Sato Akito, reaching out to grip his throat.

Sato Akito wanted to resist but found he couldn’t even circulate his Inner Qi.

He hastily pleaded: "Spare my life, spare my life! Don’t kill me, don’t kill me. As long as you don’t kill me, I can give you money."

"I’ll give you all my money, all my martial arts resources too..."

He was still stalling for time, thinking as long as that Lin family’s Earth Realm martial artist expert arrived, he could be saved.

Lin Dong saw through his stalling, simply saying: "I know you’re stalling, rest assured, I won’t kill you so fast."

After saying this, Lin Dong glanced at the ground at Wu Li’s corpse, whose eyes wouldn’t close in death, recalling the corpses of those Black Dragon Society members he saw at the villa before.

Then he shouted:

"Your sins cannot let you die a swift death!"

Hearing this, Sato Akito didn’t feel fear; instead, he showed a hint of joy. In his view, as long as he wasn’t killed quickly, he could be saved.

Even if tortured by the opponent, as long as the Lin family’s expert arrived, the tide would turn.

By then, he’d be the victor!

Soon, he realized just how naive this thought was.

Lin Dong asked Nangong Hong on the side: "How many did their people kill?"

Nangong Hong gritted her teeth, full of hatred, and spat out a number:

"Three hundred and seventy-six!"

Every person tortured and killed by Sato and his men, she remembered deeply. She swore, even if she became a ghost, she’d avenge them!

Lin Dong nodded, then took out a sword and began cutting into Sato Akito’s flesh.

"Do you know we have a punishment in Dragon Country called death by a thousand cuts?"

"You killed three hundred and seventy-six people; now I will cut you three hundred and seventy-six times and let you die by a thousand cuts!"

Hearing this, Sato Akito felt disdainful.

In his view, the pain of cutting flesh was nothing to a Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist.

But quickly he realized just how naive they were.

At first, Lin Dong struck his abdomen with a ’bang’, destroying his Dantian. After destroying his Dantian, he was directly turned into a common person.

Unable to use Inner Qi meant he couldn’t use it to resist the pain.

Afterward, Lin Dong wielded the sword and began cutting into him.

The places he cut were the most painful areas. For example, inserting the sword into his abdomen and twisting in his intestines...

"Ah..." Just a few cuts were unbearable for Sato Akito.

Too painful!

Really too painful!

So this was the pain those common people I tortured felt?

But having cultivated to a Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist, his willpower was stronger than common people.

So after enduring a few cuts, he kept consoling himself.

"Endure, endure, just endure until the Lin family’s Earth Realm martial artist arrives, and I’ll be saved."

"I am a great ninja of Yinghua Country, I can endure all pain!"

"I can, I can endure... ah... heaven, it’s so painful, so painful..."

Eventually, he couldn’t endure and screamed.

After Lin Dong gave him the thirty-sixth cut, he no longer wanted to live.

Damn the great ninja of Yinghua Country!

Damn enduring humiliation!

I can’t take it!

I can’t wait for the Lin family’s Earth Realm martial artist to come.

"Let me die immediately, please, give me a swift death? Please, end me with one cut!" At this moment, he begged Lin Dong.

All he wanted was to die!

Yet, Lin Dong wouldn’t grant his wish!

At this moment, he let out a cold laugh and said:

"Don’t rush, it’s only thirty-six cuts. There are still many cuts left to reach three hundred and seventy-six."
