What he liked was the joy of toying with the masses. He enjoyed the process. As long as it made him feel happy and interesting, everything else was not a problem. If the wager broke the fairness, then it would become boring. This was not a good thing.
"Too cruel, too ruthless. One hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred cuts. How can one person be cut so many times and cut out so much flesh? This is impossible. If he really did that, he would definitely die. "
"This clown is so vicious and ruthless."
Ye Zhiqiu and the rest looked at the clown seriously and unkindly. This was simply using human life for entertainment.
What was death by dismemberment? It was one of the cruelest punishments in the ancient dynasties.
Death by dismemberment was also known as Lingchi, which was what the common people called "death by a thousand cuts". Death by dismemberment first appeared in the Five Dynasties Period. It was officially named in the Liao Dynasty. After that, the Jin, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties made it a legal punishment. It was the cruelest death penalty. A total of 3,357 cuts had to be used, and on the last cut, which was the 3,357th cut, the criminal had to die. Only then could the death by dismemberment be successful.
And this was more than 3,000 cuts. The clown said it was even more terrifying. Not only did he have to personally cut out pieces of flesh, he also had to use 129,600 cuts. Compared to ordinary death by dismemberment, it was much more brutal and terrifying.
"Come, are there any brave warriors among you?"
The clown shouted towards the army of monsters, "As long as you choose to participate in the wager, or even survive, I will grant you freedom. You will leave the ranks of the small fries and become a true member of the Eternal Night Holy Clan. However, the prerequisite is that you must survive and win this wager for me. "
Even though all the races in the army of monsters were in a state of killing and destruction, they could still understand the meaning behind his words. This was the ability of the clown.
Bang!!
The temptation of becoming a member of the Eternal Night Holy Clan was simply irresistible to the army of monsters. Without thinking, they quickly stepped forward. Surprisingly, all the soldiers of the army of monsters stepped forward. Obviously, the temptation of becoming a member of the Eternal Night Holy Clan was something that they would not hesitate to sacrifice their lives for.
The true Eternal Night Holy Clan was no longer the small fries on the battlefield. They had no emotions and only knew how to kill and destroy. Instead, they were qualified to awaken their bloodline. To become stronger was the most basic instinct of any living creature.
And now, this opportunity had presented itself. The army of monsters naturally swarmed over like a flock of ducks. No one wanted to miss it, even if it meant death.
"Since you're all willing, then I'll pick one at random. You, then. "
The clown was very satisfied with the monster army's performance.
He casually pointed at the army and saw a burly Yellow Scarf Warrior with a yellow scarf on his head fly into the air and land on the battlefield. At the same time, a strange Shenguang landed on his body. It continued to drill into his body. As Shen Guang merged with them, the coldness, killing intent, destruction, and the desire to destroy everything in his eyes began to dissipate at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Little by little, his mind returned to normal.
"Greetings, Lord Clown."
After the Yellow Scarf Warrior regained his consciousness, he bowed towards the clown and greeted him.
Clearly, all seven emotions and six sensory pleasures had been restored, but he still didn't see himself as a part of the human race. Or rather, he didn't see himself as a human of the Eternal Continent, but as a different race.
"Very well, you will participate in this competition. If you win, you'll be a member of the Eternal Night Holy Tribe. If you lose, you'll die. " The clown said with a smile. He then looked at Yi Tianxing and asked, "How about it? Have you chosen your candidate?"
As soon as he said that, the soldiers on the city walls shuddered.
Death by a thousand cuts 129,600 times. This was a nightmare. No one could ignore it. Even on the city walls, all the soldiers were mentally prepared to die on the battlefield before they came. However, when it came to Ling Chi, no matter who it was, they all felt a trace of hesitation. It was an instinct that came from their very being.
However, a large number of soldiers said loudly, "Your Majesty, I'm willing to participate in the competition."
After the hesitation, it was replaced by a sense of determination.
They, the Da Yi soldiers, could not be outdone by the monster army outside.
They absolutely could not.
"Let me do it."
At this moment, Nine-Lives stepped forward and bowed, asking for permission to fight, "I'm willing to participate in the competition. It's just a death by dismemberment. I'm not even afraid of death. So what if it's a death by dismemberment? Moreover, I have a way to protect myself. I'll have a greater chance of survival. I, Da Yi, cannot lose. "
Nine-Lives had a determined look on his face. His eyes flickered with determination.
He did not get the name Nine-Lives for nothing. Although his combat strength was not top-notch, there were not many people who could compare to him in terms of life-saving methods.
"Are you sure this is a death by dismemberment? Moreover, it's just a competition. We don't necessarily have to win."
Yi Tian Xing looked at Nine Lives, and he was slightly moved.
This method of competition was too cruel. To be honest, it was fine for enemies, but if it was against his own people, even he would not be able to bear it. These soldiers were not goods. It was too cruel to use their lives as a wager.
Before the competition, he did not expect the clown to propose such a method.
"Your Majesty, please allow me. I'm willing to participate."
Nine-Lives was still kneeling on one knee, looking at Yi Tianxing with determination.
It was Da Yi who had allowed them to survive until now. In their hearts, they always had a kind of worship, a kind of gratitude, and a kind of fanaticism for Yi Tianxing.
"Well, this is a Yin and Yang Pill. It contains the power of Yin and Yang. If you feel that you can't hold on, take it immediately. Even if you lose the competition, you must keep your life. Only when you're alive can everything be possible. Life is more important than winning or losing. "
Yi Tianxing took a deep breath and nodded. At the same time, he took out a red blue Yin and Yang Pill. On it, two clear pill patterns could be seen. This was a Yin and Yang Pill. As long as one didn't die, they could keep their life. They could even grow flesh from the bones and bring the dead back to life. It was a life-saving treasure. It was even more powerful than the Yin and Yang Pill.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Jiuming respectfully received the pill.
On the city wall, many soldiers watched. Pairs of eyes fell on Nine-Lives. It was a kind of admiration, hope, and the look of a warrior.
.....
Outside Sunset City, on the battlefield.
Nine-Lives was already standing on the ground. Standing opposite him was the Yellow-scarved Strongman.
The two of them stared straight into each other's eyes, revealing an intense battle intent and a crazed expression.
"Very well, in that case, let's start. This time, we'll compete in Death of a Thousand Cuts. Whoever cuts off more flesh and blood from the body and the number of cuts will be the winner. Whoever dies first will be the loser. Whoever completes the 129,600 cuts faster will be the winner. "
The clown laughed and sat on the wooden horse, showing a strong interest.
"Let's start."
The clown waved his hand, and a pink light sprinkled on Nine-Lives and the yellow turban warrior. Then he laughed and said: "To add a little fun, this Shenguang will make your senses more sensitive, tens of times more sensitive than usual. In the past, an ant bite can now compare to the pain of a woman giving birth. Come on, scream as much as you want, please me as much as you want. "
There was a strong look of expectation in his eyes.
"Ha!!"
When the Yellow Turban Strongman heard this, he took out a small knife. It looked like a scalpel. He let out a loud shout. Immediately, the clothes on his body were torn apart by a powerful force. They turned into countless pieces that fluttered around his body. In an instant, his entire body became naked, without a single thread of clothing on it.
At first glance, the burly body was a strong visual impact.
"What the hell, tearing off clothes without saying a word."
Lu Zhishen snorted coldly, full of disdain. Tearing off clothes? Who wouldn't?
"Hmph!!"
When Nine-Lives saw this, he also let out a cold snort, and his eyes showed a trace of determination. However, he did not tear off his clothes like the other party. It was not that he couldn't do it, but he disdained to do so. He reached out and naturally took off all his clothes. This process was in sharp contrast to the actions of the yellow turban warrior.
It was like one was a civilized person and the other was a barbarian.
They were two completely different styles.
"You think you can beat me in ruthlessness?"
The corner of the yellow turban warrior's mouth revealed a trace of a grin, and the knife in his hand waved under his body.
Kacha!!
With this knife, blood bloomed, and only blood could be seen bursting out from his crotch. This knife actually fell on his younger brother, cutting off his head.
Hiss!!
This saber strike caused the countless soldiers on the city walls to suck in a breath of cold air. They felt a chill down their spines and instinctively pressed their legs together. A chill appeared in their hearts, coming from their bones.
Ruthless, this was really ruthless.
Gulp!!
Ye Zhiqiu swallowed a mouthful of saliva on the spot and muttered to himself, "Scar is really ruthless. He actually cut his younger brother with the first knife. This is no longer a question of ruthlessness, but this guy is already abnormal."
"Really ruthless. He has clearly recovered his sanity, wisdom, and emotions. In such a situation, he still dared to cut his own vital parts. Really ruthless. However, cutting off his younger brother without saying a word, is this really good? "
Cheng Yaojin also opened his mouth wide, his face shocked.
This was truly a frightening slash. Especially the lethality of the knife to men, it could be said to be quite fatal.
"Ah!!"
However, with this knife, the yellow turban warrior let out a shrill scream on the spot.
Cutting off his younger brother, how painful was that? It was definitely a fatal injury to men. Not to mention, this kind of pain, at this moment, was completely magnified by a hundred times. The impact on the mind and soul was simply unimaginable. It could be said that the pain was worse than death. This was definitely not what the yellow turban warrior thought before he waved his knife.
The terrible pain turned into an unimaginable impact, hitting the mind and soul.
