Chapter 0594 Torment

Chapter 0594: Torment

Hua Xiyue had never been in such a wretched state before. Shaking with fury, he roared at Qin Yun, "Qin Yun, you’ve pissed me off for good! I will never let you off, motherfucker!"

At that moment, Ji Lang's voice rang out as he laughed loudly, "Let me handle this bastard Qin Yun!"

Despite his miserable condition, Hua Xiyue didn’t immediately leave the Immortal Armory Illusory Realm, showing just how important that thousand points was to him. Even someone like him couldn’t afford to lose them.

With so many people watching, Hua Xiyue couldn’t just walk away.

Qin Yun frowned at Ji Lang and said, "One down, another one up—why not all of you at once?"

Ji Lang was covered in long body hair, resembling a shaggy werewolf, both terrifying and disgusting.

"This ain’t some gangbang, why the hurry?" Ji Lang sneered. "Qin Yun, you’ve got some balls to actually defeat Hua Xiyue!"

"Ji Lang, you were also involved in attacking me last time. I’ve been hunting for you!" Qin Yun smiled faintly.

"You still remember how I beat you up last time? Guess I really stuck in your head, huh?" Ji Lang cackled, his voice grating.

Qin Yun grinned. "Then I’ll carve my name into your bones!"

Ji Lang barked out a contemptuous laugh. "Is that funny?" Qin Yun frowned. "I defeated Hua Xiyue—that should mean I have the strength to beat you too. Unless you’re stronger than him?"

Stomped beneath Qin Yun’s boot, Hua Xiyue bellowed, "Qin Yun, I’ll gut you like a fish! Not here in the Immortal Armory Illusory Realm, but in reality! I’ll kill you for real!"

Qin Yun cross-checked him with a brutal slap and chuckled. "A maggot like you should know his place! I’d love for Liu Jingmeng to see you like this—let’s see how arrogant you can be then!"

"You—I’ll skin you alive!" Hua Xiyue’s fury knew no bounds as he continued roaring.

"Yellow-bellied worm, why don’t you just leave the Immortal Armory Illusory Realm?" Qin Yun slapped him again.

Ji Lang interjected, "Qin Yun, I’ll give you a chance—crawl through my fucking legs, and I’ll let you go for now!"

"Oh, and you have to kneel and crawl on all fours!"

With that, Ji Lang lifted his leg, grinning viciously. "Hurry up! If I change my mind, you’ll regret it!"

Qin Yun furrowed his brows. "Did your mother drop you as a baby? What makes you so confident you can beat me?"

"Beating someone like you doesn’t require confidence!" Ji Lang scoffed. "Qin Yun, enough talk—get on your knees and crawl, and I’ll spare you this once!"

Ji Lang’s face was full of disdain, as if Qin Yun would submit to him.

"You mange-ridden mutt should be getting treatment instead of disgusting people out here!" Qin Yun retorted, just as Ling Yuner slammed down a surge of overwhelming gravity.

The sudden force slammed down on Ji Lang without warning.

Caught off guard, Ji Lang’s knees shattered like dry twigs as he collapsed to the ground.

In two strides, Qin Yun was before him, his fists like thunder as they pummeled Ji Lang’s abdomen repeatedly.

Ji Lang screamed like a slaughtered pig, his cries shocking even Tian Yaolei’s jaw dropped.

The spectators went wild—Qin Yun had driven Ji Lang face-first into the dirt in an instant.

Just moments ago, they had believed Qin Yun was running on empty!

Yet now, Qin Yun had taken down Ji Lang in a single blow.

Qin Yun quickly snatched up Ji Lang and Hua Xiyue, then bolted away.

He knew that since Ji Lang was here, Tian Yaolei, Yang Shenglong, and Long Kuangxing had to be close by.

Chu Bozhong and Xia Shufeng, whom he’d beaten before, had also re-entered the Immortal Weapon Illusory Realm.

If they teamed up, even Qin Yun would be hard-pressed to hold them off.

Now, he was putting distance between them and the safe city, dragging the heavily injured Hua Xiyue and Ji Lang along.

Tian Yaolei, Yang Shenglong, and Long Kuangxing spotted them and took off after him.

...

Even while carrying two people, Qin Yun ran just as fast, quickly shaking Tian Yaolei and the others.

Hua Xiyue and Ji Lang were down for the count and wouldn’t recover anytime soon unless they bailed out of the Immortal Weapon Illusory Realm to regenerate.

However, they were stuck unless they coughed up a thousand points.

If they ditched a thousand points, they would fall out of the top ten.

They weren’t like Qin Yun—racking up points wasn’t easy for them. If they fell out of the top ten, getting back up would take ages.

If they wanted a shot at the Martial Arts Championship, they absolutely couldn’t afford to lose a thousand points.

Qin Yun brought Ji Lang and Hua Xiyue deep into the mountains, entering a hidden cave.

This cave had once been his refuge.

Once inside, he tossed Hua Xiyue and Ji Lang into cages he had forged—both crafted from beast bones.

"Qin Yun, what the hell are you planning?" Ji Lang screamed through gritted teeth.

"Qin Yun, you bastard! I won’t let you get away with this!" Hua Xiyue snarled.

Qin Yun grinned. "I’ll break you until you can’t take it anymore and leave the Immortal Weapon Illusory Realm!"

With that, he gripped the cages and let loose with black lightning.

The cages lit up with arcs of lightning, relentlessly striking Hua Xiyue and Ji Lang.

"AAAAHHH—"

Hua Xiyue and Ji Lang howled in pain.

"Let’s see how tough you really are!" Qin Yun laughed heartily. "I won’t kill you. Killing you two would only score me a handful of points. But forcing you to leave the Immortal Weapon Illusory Realm and lose a thousand points each—that’s the real prize!"

Qin Yun had been fuming ever since Hua Xiyue inexplicably captured him before.

Now, he was finally getting his revenge!

And clan disciples like Ji Lang were the ones Qin Yun despised the most.

When it came to torture, Qin Yun showed no mercy.

Flames and lightning alternated, scorching and striking relentlessly, subjecting Hua Xiyue and Ji Lang to unbearable agony.

Although this is a virtual world, the pain from being tortured is still profoundly intense.

The first one who couldn't endure it was Ji Lang. In less than two hours, he bailed out of the Immortal Soldier Illusory Realm.

"Qin Yun... I, Hua Xiyue, swear I’ll kill you!" Hua Xiyue's voice was filled with hatred, growling through gritted teeth, "I will kill you in reality!"

After uttering these threats, Hua Xiyue also left the Immortal Soldier Illusory Realm!

Qin Yun curled his lips: "What morons. If you had left earlier, you wouldn’t have suffered so long under my torment! Haha..."

If Hua Xiyue and Ji Lang had left right away, they would indeed have avoided much suffering.

But now, not only did they lose a thousand points, but they were also tortured by Qin Yun—totally screwed.

Shortly after Hua Xiyue left, a slender, swaying figure appeared at the cave entrance, sauntering in with elegant strides.

The newcomer was a tall woman in a white dress—none other than Long Qiaofeng.

"I saw Hua Xiyue and Ji Lang both lost a thousand points and dropped out of the top ten!" Long Qiaofeng chuckled softly. "You really showed them!"

"Too bad you didn’t see how miserably Hua Xiyue and Ji Lang were tortured!" Qin Yun let out a booming laugh.

"Indeed a pity, but seeing that bastard Ji Lang lose a thousand points already makes me very happy!" Long Qiaofeng flashed a wicked grin. "They were clinging to those points. If not for unbearable agony, they would never have left the Immortal Soldier Illusory Realm."

Qin Yun lay on a stone bed and said, "I barely have fifteen hundred points now. I need at least two thousand to be securely in the top ten."

"Don’t worry, you’ll definitely break into the top ten before the Martial Arts Championship begins!" Long Qiaofeng said confidently.

"Qiaofeng, Hua Xiyue and Ji Lang both have their own squads. Would they kill their own members to gain a large number of points?" Qin Yun suddenly sat up, looking concerned.

"No. When joining a squad, they sign a contract—they can’t kill their own members. Killing one costs them a hundred points!" Long Qiaofeng shook her head. "Relax, earning points isn’t that simple for them."

"Is it cool if I take out your squad?" Qin Yun asked.

"All my squad members are Tian Yaolei’s spies. If not for my tricks in playing them, I wouldn’t have made it into the top ten." Long Qiaofeng sneered. "I’ve been itching to put those bastards in their place!"

Qin Yun said, "Let’s leave your squad alone for now. Who should I go after next?"

"Long Kuangxing! I can’t stand that guy!" Long Qiaofeng declared. "I know him inside out. He has the Purple-Gold Twin-Winged Dragon Martial Soul and carries dragon bloodline."

"Good. After I rest, I’ll go wipe out his squad!" Qin Yun said.

Long Kuangxing was a disciple of the Long family, ranked fourth on the Martial Arts Ranking—his strength is nothing to scoff at.

...

Both the main sect and the outer sect were completely floored upon hearing that Hua Xiyue had been defeated by Qin Yun.

Moreover, both Hua Xiyue and Ji Lang had fallen out of the top ten on the Martial Arts Ranking.

All of this was Qin Yun’s doing!

Although Qin Yun had reached the early-stage Spirit Martial Realm, he remained an outer sect disciple and had not formally entered the inner sect.

This was also astonishing, as Qin Yun had only recently joined the Immortal Soldier City yet had already broken through!

Qin Yun was only in his early twenties, already at the Spirit Martial Realm, and a gifted Runes Master on top of that.

Now, everyone was curious about his Runes Master rank.

Here, any Runes Master would get a badge to prove their level and identity.

Qin Yun doesn’t have a badge, yet his skills with runes are top-notch.

He never took the Runes Hall's proficiency exam, so no one knows his exact proficiency.

Many have inquired at the Runes Hall but found no records of Qin Yun’s rune-crafting rank, which only fueled curiosity about him.

Qin Yun had conflicts with the Runes Hall before, so he has no intention of taking the assessment again.

In any case, his close relationship with Mu Fengxiao gets him plenty of perks even without a Runes Master badge.

But today, a major incident occurred—the head of the Long family was killed, his head chopped off!

This sent shockwaves throughout Proudstar Province!

The bounty Qin Yun posted through Demonmoon Island was finally claimed—someone had taken the head of the Long family’s patriarch in Proudstar Province!

This meant the one who killed the Long family’s patriarch would soon make for Celestial Arms City to claim the Golden Ape Totem from Qin Yun.
