4: Chapter 4: The Embers of Life Appear, the Servant Slays Two Fiends

In an instant, Li Yi was terrified by the man's gaze and collapsed onto the ground.

At the same time, a stench of urine wafted from Li Yi's crotch.

Gu Han turned his face away.

Li Yi noticed this, immediately stood up, and kicked Gu Han again.

"Brat, I'll teach you to laugh."

At this moment, the man on the black iron rack seemed to have gathered enough strength, as one of his hands suddenly broke free.

This hand clamped onto the back of Li Yi's neck, and a gloomy voice came out.

"Brat, hitting me just now felt pretty good, didn't it!"

"Die!"

Immediately, he flung Li Yi away, sending him crashing heavily against the stone wall of the interrogation room.

"Brat, get over here."

"Untie these chains for me, or the moment I break free, you will be the first one I kill."

Stunned for a moment.

Gu Han also regained his senses.

However, Gu Han did not step forward; instead, he watched the man enveloped in Devilish Qi before him.

He saw that the man had only used bone-shrinking to free one hand.

The rest of his body was still locked by the black iron chains.

Consequently, Gu Han did not step forward, but drew his saber and held it before him.

Seeing that Gu Han did not know what was good for him, the man roared in anger.

"Brat, you just wait."

"When I break free, I'll show you what a scorching torture feels like."

After saying this, he began to channel his energy to shrink his bones.

At this time, Li Yi also struggled to crawl up.

Li Yi's eyes were filled with rage.

"Die!"

Li Yi immediately drew his saber and rushed forward to slay the man.

Seeing this, the man gave a cold, contemptuous laugh.

"How dare an ant act so presumptuously."

The man immediately extended his hands, which he had already freed, and gripped Li Yi's saber tightly.

Seeing this, Li Yi hurriedly roared at Gu Han.

"You piece of trash, why aren't you coming up to help?"

Hearing this, Gu Han was instantly filled with rage, and a bold plan flashed through his mind.

"Do it."

"If I don't kill this Li Yi, my Dao Heart will remain unstable."

"I've already undergone Transmigration, why should I still put up with this kind of crap?"

Thus, he immediately raised his saber and went up.

Seeing this, the man immediately struck Li Yi away with a palm strike.

Taking advantage of this moment, Gu Han had already closed in.

Perhaps it was because he was burning with rage!

Gu Han exploded with twelve-tenths of his strength.

He drove his saber fiercely into the man's chest.

At the same time, Gu Han twisted his body, using his physical strength to continuously rotate the blade, tearing a hole in the man's chest.

"How is this possible?"

"I'm going to kill you!"

The man was furious and kept shaking the black iron rack.

Seeing this, Gu Han immediately stepped forward and stabbed him a few more times.

After being stabbed so many times, the man's anger reached its peak, and he broke free regardless of the cost.

However, in the process of breaking free, he had exhausted all his cultivation.

"Is he really that hard to kill?"

As he said this, just as Gu Han was about to strike again regardless of the consequences.

A line of text flashed before his eyes.

【Slayed a sinful person, plundered two hundred remnants of fate.】

Gu Han was overjoyed.

But he didn't rush to explore it, instead coming to Li Yi's side.

Seeing someone approach, Li Yi roared.

"You despicable menial servant, why aren't you helping me up?"

Hearing this, Gu Han gave a wicked smile.

He squatted down and covered Li Yi's nose and mouth with the fabric of his sleeve.

"If I don't kill you, I'd be letting down the audience."

"Die!"

As Gu Han applied force, Li Yi's struggles gradually weakened until there was no movement at all.

【Slayed a sinful person, plundered thirty remnants of fate.】

At this moment, Gu Han cleaned up everything before him, faking the scene to make it look like Li Yi had been killed by the man.

Afterward, he pretended to be panicked and ran out of the interrogation room to call for help.

"Help!"

"The prisoner has broken free!"

After calling out a few times, Gu Han collapsed to the ground and fainted.

At this moment, Zhao De, who was not far away, heard Gu Han's cries for help and hurriedly ran over.

Arriving before Gu Han, Zhao De hurriedly helped him up and kept calling out.

"Gu Han, wake up."

"Wake up."

...

After calling several times, there was still no response from Gu Han.

He saw that Gu Han's face was deathly pale, and there was still blood on the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, Gu Han had completely fainted, which was entirely beyond his plan.

Meanwhile, Zhao De's gaze turned toward the interrogation room.

The man and Li Yi were lying straight on the ground.

A sense of foreboding suddenly arose in Zhao De's heart.

"The prisoner broke free?"

With no time to be puzzled, he hurriedly shouted loudly.

"Come quickly! Quickly, summon the Zhenwu Guard!"

Not long after Zhao De's voice fell, several Jailers ran over.

The smell of blood from the interrogation room kept wafting out, and it could be smelled throughout the entire prison corridor.

At this moment, several members of the Zhenwu Guard also hurried over.

The leading Zhenwu Guard wore a silver token at his waist; he was full of dignity, and his expression carried a mix of anger and anxiety.

"Captain Ma has arrived!"

The announcement instantly silenced the discussions outside the interrogation room.

Zhao De hurriedly moved Gu Han to the side and led all the Jailers to rise and welcome him.

"Greetings, My Lord!"

The Jailers bowed and saluted in unison.

Captain Ma, who was leading, ignored Zhao De and the others, walking straight past them and into the interrogation room.

Upon entering the interrogation room, Captain Ma saw Li Yi and the prisoner lying on the ground, and his expression grew even gloomier.

His gaze was like a torch as it swept over the twisted corpses of Li Yi and the prisoner, his brows knitting tightly together.

The blue bricks in the interrogation room had already been soaked with blood.

At this moment, the Zhenwu Guard behind him immediately went up to inspect.

"Reporting, My Lord, Li Yi has no breath left."

"My Lord, this demonic cultivator is also dead."

Hearing his subordinate's report, Captain Ma did not reply, but turned to look at Zhao De and the other menial servants.

He saw that Captain Ma's brows were now tightly furrowed, and the anger in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

"What is going on here?"

"Which one of you will tell me?"

That cold voice instantly terrified Zhao De and the others, causing them to hurriedly lower their heads.

Captain Ma watched their actions, not speaking further, but standing quietly to the side.

However, Captain Ma's face had completely darkened.

After a moment of silence.

Zhao De looked up in fear, his body trembling slightly.

"R-reporting, My Lord."

"The whole situation happened like this..."

Before long, Zhao De stutteringly explained the process of Li Yi interrogating the prisoner and Gu Han calling for help.

After hearing Zhao De's statement, Captain Ma said coldly.

"Bring that Gu Han in."

Hearing this, Zhao De hurriedly reported.

"Reporting, My Lord, Gu Han is currently in a deep coma. Could we wait until he wakes up to question him?"

"Are you telling me how to do my job?"

Captain Ma stared gloomily at Zhao De.

"I wouldn't dare!"

"This lowly one has absolutely no such audacity."

"Then hurry up and drag him in."

Captain Ma coldly interrupted Zhao De's words.

Then he walked to Li Yi and pulled open his clothes.

He saw a palm print stamped on Li Yi's chest.

"Blood God Palm!"

In an instant, Captain Ma gasped, and the other members of the Zhenwu Guard looked at each other in dismay.

Clearly, they were all shocked by the middle-aged man's identity.

"To think that this wretch was actually a remnant of the Blood God Cult."

Afterward, Captain Ma rebuked the Zhenwu Guard angrily.

"When you captured and imprisoned the prisoner, didn't you verify his identity?"

"Don't you know that remnants of the Blood God Cult must be reported?"

"Are you trying to get me killed?"

...

Watching Captain Ma's furious outburst, the members of the Zhenwu Guard all lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.

At this moment, Zhao De also helped Gu Han inside.

Seeing this, Captain Ma hurriedly stepped forward, kicked Zhao De aside, and let Gu Han fall heavily to the ground.

Seeing that Gu Han still showed no change in expression, Captain Ma believed it a little.

Gu Han had indeed fainted.

"This official would like to see whether you are truly fainted or faking death."

"You two, wake this menial servant up for me."

"By any means necessary."

Hearing this, Zhao De hurriedly pleaded.

"My Lord, may I be the one to wake him up?"

Captain Ma's sinister face was almost twisted; he grabbed Zhao De by the collar, his eyes filled with a fierce light.

"Do you think you are worthy of interfering in this matter?"

"Get to the side!"

"A mere menial servant, yet you dare to speak up again and again."

"All menial servants, get out!"

Zhao De instantly collapsed to the ground, his eyes filled with fear and helplessness, and he could only silently pray in his heart that Gu Han would be able to endure it.

The Zhenwu Guards understood, and hurriedly stepped forward.
