Zhou Wen realized that the number of zombies in Netherworld City was much fewer than the last time he came. He didn't see Chu He either.
Could it be that Chu He's soul has been destroyed and there's no way for him to revive? Zhou Wen knew that the zombies in Netherworld City would constantly revive and repeat their lives of torture.
However, every time they died, a portion of their memories would be erased.
Now that Chu He had vanished, there was a high chance that he was completely dead. There was no chance of revival.
"Ah!"
As Zhou Wen was observing, he suddenly heard a tragic scream. However, this time, the scream wasn't from Li Xuan, but from Lu Bushun.
Zhou Wen turned his head and saw that Lu Bushun wasn't in the torture chamber. He was already outside, but he was sitting there paralyzed. He held his head with both hands as his body trembled violently. He let out a terrified cry.
"Old Lu, are you alright? You're already out. "An officer who was on good terms with Lu Bushun immediately pounced forward and shook Lu Bushun's hand.
Gradually, Lu Bushun finally recovered. His eyes focused again as he gradually regained his vitality.
He stopped screaming and his body stopped trembling. However, his hands were still trembling involuntarily.
"Overseer, I'll rest for two minutes before we continue," Lu Bushun said as he struggled to stand up.
"There's no need to continue. Rest," An Tianzuo said.
"Overseer, I can do it. I just need to rest for a while," Lu Bushun hurriedly said.
"That's all. This is an order," An Tianzuo said expressionlessly.
"Yes, Overseer." Lu Bushun bowed and had no choice but to stop.
In fact, Lu Bushun knew that it was really difficult for him to continue. Even if he forced himself to continue, he probably wouldn't be able to last more than a few rooms before going crazy.
Looking at Li Xuan, he had already exceeded more than twenty torture chambers. Although Li Xuan's screams could still be heard, he had managed to hold on. Lu Bushun's situation didn't happen.
An Tianzuo glanced at the room Lu Bushun had come out of. It was the 134th torture chamber. It was still more than a hundred points away from the 239th torture chamber, but Lu Bushun was already at his limits. The difference was just too great.
And in front of him, Li Xuan happened to come out of the torture chamber and was still bickering with Zhou Wen. Lu Bushun's situation didn't happen.
"None of the three brothers of the Li Family are simple characters. It's a pity that the eldest of the Li Family died too early. Otherwise, the Li Family would definitely be able to dominate a region." An Tianzuo sighed.
"Li Xuan and Young Master Wen have an extremely good relationship. In the future, the Li family will likely contribute to Luoyang. This is a good thing," An Sheng said.
"That depends on whether we can return alive this time." An Tianzuo also knew that there would be great danger this time.
"With you and Young Master Wen around, we will definitely be able to return alive," An Sheng said firmly.
An Tianzuo didn't say a word as he looked at Zhou Wen and Li Xuan. Whether they could enter the real netherworld depended on them.
Li Xuan entered the torture chamber again. Although he was still chatting and laughing like before, Zhou Wen could sense that he was under immense pressure.
Continuously enduring punishment and randomly enduring punishment were two different things. The damage to the mind and soul would continue to accumulate. Even if one rested for an hour in between, there was no way to expel the damage.
He could only rely on his mental strength and faith to survive. Apart from that, there was no other way.
Li Xuan's cries were still tragic, but amidst the tragic cries, there was an additional chill that left one's heart cold.
Zhou Wen knew that he was truly in pain, and it was the kind that he couldn't take it anymore.
There are still twenty-three torture chambers left. There are still three more times that the torture chambers can be opened today. Including this time, there's more than enough time. It all depends on whether Li Xuan can hold on. Zhou Wen counted the torture chambers behind him.
"Do you want to rest for a while? There's still plenty of time," Zhou Wen asked after some thought when he saw Li Xuan come out.
Li Xuan shook his head. He wasn't injured, but his face was pale. However, there was a strange flush on his cheeks.
"Continue," Li Xuan said as he walked to the next torture chamber.
An Tianzuo and company had already rushed over. Their hearts were racing as they watched Li Xuan suffer the torture.
Even a seasoned soldier like Lu Bushun couldn't withstand the pain of punishment. He had long broken down.
The fact that Li Xuan could last until now had already impressed them. However, Li Xuan's situation looked worse and worse. They were somewhat worried that Li Xuan wouldn't be able to last until the end.
When Li Xuan came out again, his legs gave way and he nearly fell to the ground.
Zhou Wen was quick to react. He went forward to stop him.
Li Xuan wasn't injured and had strength, but his mind was already in a terrible state.
"How many torture chambers are left?" Li Xuan asked again.
"Twenty-two," Zhou Wen answered.
"Continue." Li Xuan pushed Zhou Wen's hand away and walked in again.
This time, the torture chamber was a burning punishment. In the torture chamber, there was a huge metal pillar that had been burned. After Li Xuan entered, he was tied to the metal pillar. His hands and feet hugged the metal pillar as his face and body pressed against it.
Sizzle!
White smoke rose from Li Xuan's body. At the same time, there was a charred smell. In an instant, Li Xuan no longer looked human. Just looking at him made one's legs go limp, much less Li Xuan, who was being tortured. It was hard to imagine how much pain he was in.
However, Li Xuan didn't scream now.
Zhou Wen ordered Punishment Ghost to speed up, but the punishment had to be firm for ten minutes. Even if Punishment Ghost wanted to speed up, there was no way to do so.
Zhou Wen came in front of An Tianzuo and pointed at An Jingyu. "Lend him to me. Any conditions are fine."
He wasn't good at accelerating time, so he could only seek help from others to speed up Li Xuan's torture.
"This is my family's matter to begin with," An Tianzuo said and ordered. An Tianzuo ordered, "Jing Yu, cooperate with them and complete the rest of the punishment."
"Yes." An Jingyu quickly went forward and used time acceleration on the Burning Rod.
However, time acceleration could only speed up time, but it couldn't shorten it. The pain Li Xuan suffered didn't lessen.
Amidst the time acceleration, a black carapace suddenly appeared on Li Xuan's body. The black carapace quickly enveloped his body.
When Zhou Wen saw the carapace on Li Xuan's body, his heart couldn't help but tighten.
Li Xuan's Life Soul and Wheel of Destiny were very unique. Others' Life Souls and Wheel of Destiny were separate, but his was one. It was somewhat similar to Zhou Wen's situation, but it wasn't completely the same.
The carapace could be said to be his second life. Now that the carapace had appeared, it could only mean that Li Xuan was indeed reaching his limit.
After the carapace appeared, Li Xuan's condition improved a lot. He withstood the Burning Rod and walked straight to the next torture chamber.
His condition was much better as he passed one torture chamber after another without any hesitation.
His expression couldn't be seen under the carapace, but from his trembling body, it could be seen that he was doing his best to endure the pain. He didn't even dare to speak, for fear that the moment he opened his mouth, he would lose the courage to continue.
Seeing that there was only one torture chamber left, Zhou Wen and company were extremely nervous. On the door of the last torture chamber was the word "Dream Torture."
Zhou Wen looked into the room, but he didn't see the white-robed Punishment Ghost. All he saw was a white-haired old granny sitting in the torture chamber.
