575: Chapter 564: Piercing the Pipa Bone 575: Chapter 564: Piercing the Pipa Bone The new torture device glead with the luster of steel, casting a cold light under the illumination, probably consisting of twenty curved hooks — sharp and pointed, dreadfully chilling to look upon.
Ning Fan recognized the implent at a glance, biting back his teeth, he suppressed the rage without striking at Apollo.
Apollo was a tyrant, and Ning Fan knew that if he dared to make a move, Apollo would certainly not hesitate to kill Xu Ruolan, which was precisely Ning Fan’s vulnerability at the mont.
“Asura, look at this.
This is the latest alloy developed by the Fang Guild, this device was specially crafted for you overnight.
You should know what it’s for, right?”
Apollo was now only a step away from Ning Fan, unworried about Ning Fan laying a hand on him, because he had Xu Ruolan in his grasp.
With Xu Ruolan in hand, Ning Fan’s vulnerability was fully controlled by him.
“Why aren’t you speaking?
I thought you’d be howling like a dog that’s lost its ho!”
Apollo mocked, yet his gaze remained wary.
Ning Fan looked coldly at Apollo, silent, and even as the torture device was brought near, there was no reaction.
“It seems I’ve underestimated you, but is it worth it?
For a woman…”
Apollo shook his head.
Honestly, he couldn’t understand why Ning Fan was willing to be captured so easily for Xu Ruolan.
Although in his view, Xu Ruolan was indeed a rare gem among won, whom he greatly admired, and eve,n if possible, she qualified in Apollo’s heart to be a woman fit to be his Queen.
But if he were in Ning Fan’s position now, Apollo would definitely abandon Xu Ruolan without hesitation; he would not forsake his ambitions for a woman.
Ning Fan sneered, his eyes mocking as he spoke, “I’m different from you; I have blood and flesh!”
Apollo’s face changed, his expression ugly and his eyes filled with a daunting chill.
Blood and flesh…
wasn’t this just another way of saying he wasn’t human?
For soone known as Asura to claim he had blood and flesh, the words grated harshly on Apollo’s ears.
Ning Fan and Apollo, their essence was different; Ning Fan could feel pain, could cry and laugh, pain and joy, he could feel them all.
Unlike Apollo and his ilk, who in essence were no different from cold-blooded animals, or even worse.
In Ning Fan’s view, Apollo was twisted from the inside out.
“This is…
this is…
such an infuriating thing to say!”
Suddenly, Apollo’s face contorted ferociously as he grabbed the device nearby and drove the iron hooks directly through Ning Fan’s Pipa Bone.
“Ugh…” Ning Fan’s face paled, a look of intense agony crossing his features, but with a strong will, he bore the pain, and blood seeped vividly from the pierced area.
Xu Ruolan, seeing this from behind, cried out in distress, “Ning Fan!”
“Take her down!”
Perhaps because of what Ning Fan had said before, upon hearing Xu Ruolan’s worried and pained cry, he felt annoyed and agitated, nearly losing control of his anger.
Xu Ruolan was pulled away, her voice still echoing in the air, and Apollo’s expression didn’t improve but turned even uglier.
As if a sore point had inexplicably been prodded, Apollo, in an effort to vent, plunged all of the remaining iron hooks into Ning Fan’s pipa bone.
“Aaah!!!!”
The penetration through the pipa bone brought a heart-wrenching pain, turning Ning Fan’s complexion deathly pale.
He bit through his lips, finally letting out a tortured scream.
To have held on until now had already been Ning Fan’s limit, and piercing the pipa bone—a pain unbearably intense for any human—proved too much to endure.
Now that his pipa bone had been punctured, Ning Fan was unable to mobilize his True Qi, and any slight movent would bring an overwhelming agony that swept through his entire body, nearly causing him to pass out from the pain.
After venting, a smile finally reerged on Apollo’s face as he forcefully squeezed Ning Fan’s shoulders, with Ning Fan’s expression twitching continuously.
“Take him away and treat him well.
He is my honored guest, and must not be neglected!”
Apollo ordered his n to take Ning Fan away.
Two trusted aides gripped Ning Fan’s arms and eventually threw him into the dark, dreary dungeon.
Ning Fan’s body slamd heavily onto the ground, on the verge of fainting from the pain.
In the damp and gloomy dungeon, Ning Fan could not feel a hint of warmth; his whole body was gradually growing colder.
After an unknown amount of ti, the door to the dungeon was finally opened, allowing Ning Fan a glimpse of light.
A silhouette cast a shadow over Ning Fan’s face, and he lifted his head, squinting to see Apollo’s self-satisfied grin.
“Asura, oh Asura, I didn’t expect you to last so long.
Truly beyond my expectations!”
From his high vantage point, Apollo lood with an imposing deanor, his gaze haughty, looking down with a monarch’s attitude at Ning Fan, who had beco his prisoner.
To Apollo, Ning Fan, who was now pierced through the pipa bone and reduced to a prisoner, did not require intentional mockery.
His willpower had indeed exceeded Apollo’s expectations.
Even as a Martial Artist, having the pipa bone pierced was no different from ordinary people.
The pain from the pierced pipa bone was unimaginable for Ning Fan, and Apollo’s praise was genuine, but there was a greater sense of self-satisfaction in his tone.
The once renowned Phantom Asura had ultimately been defeated by him, and all because of a woman; it was indeed lantable.
“Maybe you are right, you’re a person of flesh and blood, not the Asura who regards human life as worthless.
That’s what sets us apart.
Do you still have any ambitions now?”
Apollo wore a look of lancholy, and his gaze towards Ning Fan beca sowhat complicated for so reason, but ultimately, it was replaced by a surge of cold ambition.
“Rest assured, I am not disappointed.
Although I don’t know what changed you, being defeated by won’t sully your na as Asura.
You are just one of them, after all!”
Ning Fan wanted to laugh upon hearing Apollo’s words, as if the man thought he knew him so well.
Apollo might see Ning Fan as a rival on the path to kingship, but Ning Fan did not see it that way.
They were not the sa kind of people at all; this man was twisted to the core.
“I am not one to break my word.
If Xu Ruolan helps develop the Genetic Potion, I’ll let her go.
But I hope you don’t make futile efforts, otherwise, she won’t be the only one to die!”
On hearing Apollo’s words, Ning Fan felt disdain in his heart but also breathed a sigh of relief…
Indeed, just as he had suspected, Apollo had captured Xu Ruolan not just to target him but also for her knowledge of the Genetic Potion.
For Apollo and the Fang Guild, who were set on conquering the world, the Genetic Potion was of vital importance.
