Chapter 158: Chapter 124: Torture, Seizing Power
“Wuu wuu wuu!!”
In the room, a man in a black robe was trapped by iron chains, his mouth gagged, struggling incessantly on the floor, his expression ferocious and looking extrely pained.
Li Fei stood beside him, watching expressionlessly.
The man on the floor was the Refining Strength Martial Master who had previously impersonated the Green-faced Ghost. By now, Li Fei had broken his limbs and heavily damaged the Implant in his body with Blood Evil Qi, leaving him completely powerless to resist.
The Refining Strength Martial Master had thought Li Fei was just an ordinary Body Breaking Stage martial artist. He was certain of his success after injecting Bing Fire Gang Qi into Li Fei’s joints across his body, so he let down his guard around Li Fei.
To avoid revealing any flaws, Li Fei had voluntarily severed the connection with the Myriad Blood Pearl when the other inserted the Bing Fire Gang Qi. Once the adversary let down his guard and turned away to check the Ghost Slash Blade, Li Fei re-established the connection and let the Myriad Blood Pearl absorb almost all the Bing Fire Gang Qi in his joints.
Afterwards, Li Fei suddenly launched a surprise attack, injecting a surge of Blood Evil Qi into his adversary and heavily wounding him in one stroke!
After subduing him, Li Fei began to force the man to confess his identity and the true intention behind Tiger Saber Gang’s action this ti.
But the man was stubborn and seed unafraid of death.
Li Fei knew no ans of severe interrogation, but he had Nether Spring Poison, so he administered a liquid dose of it to the man.
This was what Li Fei would normally consu to increase the energy of the Myriad Blood Pearl. When mixing the poison, he aid for a slow onset but maximized cumulated toxicity in the end.
After being poisoned with Nether Spring Poison, the Refining Strength Martial Master could initially endure it, but as the toxicity grew stronger, he began to thrash madly on the ground.
Under normal circumstances, with the physical durability of a Refining Strength Martial Master and protective force, even the most potent poison could be forcefully resisted.
But the Refining Strength Martial Master had already been severely injured by Li Fei using Blood Evil Qi; the Implant in his body was nearly disabled, his internal organs corroded, and then poisoned, which beca a bit too much to handle.
The combination of Blood Evil Qi and Nether Spring Poison brought about extre tornt!
“Spill everything you know, and I’ll give you the antidote.”
Li Fei squatted down and whispered in the man’s ear.
After struggling a bit more, the man could no longer bear it and frantically nodded to Li Fei.
Li Fei removed the gag from the man’s mouth.
“Give the antidote! Quick, the antidote!”
The Refining Strength Martial Master exclaid with hurried breaths.
His accent was peculiar, not a local accent from Xing City, not even from Feng Province.
“First tell , who are you? Where are you from?”
Li Fei pressed him down and asked.
“Give the antidote!”
“Tell , and I’ll give it to you! Speak!”
“… Heh… heh… heh…”
The Refining Strength Martial Master breathed heavily, still looking sowhat conflicted.
“The longer you delay, the deeper the poison penetrates, and the more painful it will be for you. This poison will last at least another two hours; I can wait it out with you.”
Li Fei’s words broke through the man’s last psychological defense:
“Fine, I’ll talk!”
“My real na is Hu’en Tuso, from i Jia Country!”
The man revealed his identity.
“What did you say?!”
Li Fei suddenly widened his eyes.
…
Inspection Bureau.
Dozens of ard bandits surrounded the Inspection Bureau, and under Wu Yihua’s command, the Inspection Bureau adopted the most conservative tactic—hold firm and never initiate an attack!
“Li Lei, has Xiao Fei fallen into the hands of Tiger Saber Gang? Did Wu Yihua threaten you with Xiao Fei’s life?”
Lu Sheng charged into Li Lei’s office, aggressively questioning.
Li Lei glanced at the door.
Lu Sheng turned and shut the office door, then walked over and sat down opposite Li Lei.
“Xiao Fei is fine.”
Li Lei spoke softly to Lu Sheng.
“Ah?”
Lu Sheng was stunned, not expecting this response at all.
“Tiger Saber Gang did send people to kidnap Xiao Fei, but he was rescued. He just called , and he is indeed safe.”
Li Lei said.
“Then why are you still waiting here? Can’t you see this is a ruse by Tiger Saber Gang, just to hold the Inspection Bureau back?”
Lu Sheng asked sowhat excitedly.
Li Lei shook his head: “I observed closely just now, and it’s as if they specifically studied how to trap the Inspection Bureau. The people outside are guarding all the crucial positions very tightly. If we rely only on the first squad, even if we could successfully break out, the losses would be severe, and we wouldn’t be able to do much after.”
Lu Sheng was stunned, then cald down.
“You’re being quite impulsive today, not quite like you, Old Lu.”
Li Lei looked at Lu Sheng, puzzled.
Back when Lu Sheng gradually rose from an ordinary Inspector to be the Captain of the first squad, although luck was a factor, his personal capability was also outstanding and appreciated by all leaders, which facilitated his rapid promotion.
But today, Lu Sheng seed very impulsive.
Lu Sheng took a deep breath, his eyes slightly bloodshot as he looked at Li Lei and spoke word by word:
“My informant told , the people entering from East City Gate are from the Calming Sect!”
“What did you say?”
Now it was Li Lei’s turn to be shocked.
He had talked with Lu Sheng about it that day, and afterwards, he truly gave his full support to Lu Sheng to investigate that past case, providing money, authority, and personnel!
When Lu Sheng was Captain, he already had informants in both the lawful and the underground circles of Xing City. With Li Lei’s support, he contacted those informants again, asking them to help him investigate the Calming Sect.
When Zhao Yu and his troops entered the city through the East City Gate, by chance, Lu Sheng’s informants recognized Zhao Yu, whose portrait as the Sect Hierarch of Calming Sect had been widely circulated. So, the informants imdiately phoned Lu Sheng and inford him of this news.
