"He's really quick this time."
When Mo Shenfeng saw the middle-aged man's movements, the corner of his mouth curled up.
Seeing his inexplicable confidence, Lu Li asked, "What's the point of that elixir?"
"That is the Thousand Poison Pills refined by the royal palace."
Ge Xinyue explained: "It contains thousands of toxins, one of which is excitable every other cup of tea. When added together, it will make people miserable. Even if you are a master, you will only die."
"This was originally an elixir refined for killers in the area."
"Then why didn't the Ministry of Land adopt it?" Lu Li heard the implication of Ge Xinyue's words.
Ge Xinyue shook her head: "The biggest drawback of this elixir is that it cannot be invisible and colorless. It is a bit useless to use it to kill people against opponents of similar level. If you are dealing with a grandmaster... there is no such stupid master."
"So in the end it can only be used as a torture instrument for interrogation."
"Then this is a bit of a waste, isn't it?" Lu Li actually showed a bit of pity when he heard this.
A magical weapon that was fused with thousands of toxins and could kill even the Grand Master was ultimately used as a torture tool for interrogation and extorting confessions. This was a bit of a waste of natural resources.
If this elixir had been there before, at least he would not have let Yi Wu go.
As a formation master, Lu Li had many ways to cover up the traces of the elixir, and even hid it in the formation. Although it was difficult to poison a master, it was definitely not impossible.
"Thousand Poison Pills?"
After being force-fed the elixir, Zhu Xiao also remembered its origin, sneered and said: "If you kill me like this, can Mo Shenfeng let you go?"
The middle-aged man said nothing with a sullen face.
The first thing Zhu Xiao said was to mock him. This made him a little embarrassed.
Before coming, he made a promise to Mo Shenfeng that Zhu Xiao would speak.
Now Mo Shenfeng is watching this scene outside through the water mirror. If Zhu Xiao cannot speak, not only will he be embarrassed, but even Mo Shenfeng will be embarrassed.
"Zhu Xiao, if you dare to assassinate His Highness King Yan, you should have expected this scene today."
The thin middle-aged man said expressionlessly: "You can be considered an old man in Yanzhou. You should know better than anyone the effects of Qiandu Pill. When the time for a cup of tea has passed, if you can still hold on and keep silent , the toxins are superimposed, what will happen to you in the end, I don’t need to tell you anymore to scare you, right?"
"hehe."
Zhu Xiao smiled sarcastically, lowered his head, and ignored his words.
He is now very aware of his situation. Since he has been captured alive, he must be tortured. But Zhu Xiao understood better that he should be the only one they caught alive. If he really told everything, he would only die.
Even if the toxins of the Thousand Poison Pills add up, causing great damage to his body and even risking his state of decline, Zhu Xiao believes that as long as Mo Shenfeng is not stupid, he will not watch himself being poisoned.
Just endure some pain.
It has been a hundred years since I started martial arts. What kind of storms and waves have I not seen? How could he be intimidated by a few juniors
And his sarcastic laughter was like a loud slap on Mo Shenfeng's face.
Mo Shenfeng whispered: "When the toxin breaks out, he won't be so harsh."
"That's not necessarily the case." Mu Ningqiu said: "He must have figured out that you don't dare to let him die. As long as you bear the pain caused by the Thousand Poison Pills, you must obediently hand over the antidote in the end."
"The poison of Thousand Poison Pills is not that easy to bear."
Ge Xinyue knew about Thousand Poison Pills. As a titled killer of the Earth Department, she actually knew the horror of this pill better than Mo Shenfeng.
People who have never seen that kind of tragic situation with their own eyes cannot understand what the superposition of thousands of toxins is like.
"It's too early to say this now. The first level of toxin has not yet erupted. Maybe this guy's bones are not as hard as we thought?"
Lu Li interrupted the conversation between several people and looked at Zhu Xiao through the water mirror, his eyes flashing slightly as he wondered what he was thinking about.
A cup of tea passes quickly.
Zhu Xiao, who was sitting still, trembled slightly, silently raised his head, and showed an extremely sarcastic sneer at the middle-aged man.
The first toxin has already begun to take effect.
His face began to distort. Although the pain in his body gradually caused him to break out in cold sweat, he gritted his teeth and did not even let out a scream.
Seeing him holding on so hard, the middle-aged man said indifferently: "The first level of toxin is just the lightest one. You can hold on now, but when the second level of toxin breaks out, it won't be so easy."
Zhu Xiao narrowed his eyes. Although he knew that the middle-aged man was telling the truth, he still refused to let go.
When the second level of poison erupted, his arms tightened and even the chains binding his wrists began to shake.
Seeing this scene, the middle-aged man finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhu Xiao couldn't hold it any longer.
However, this is the explosion of two levels of toxins. In his current state, being able to withstand the tenth level is already considered a tough one.
But the middle-aged man didn't think Zhu Xiao could last that long.
"Are you still unwilling to say it?"
The middle-aged man stared at Zhu Xiao, suddenly holding a porcelain bottle in his hand, and said calmly: "The antidote is here, tell me what you know, so as not to suffer further."
Zhu Xiao lowered his head, his whole body was trembling, but he hissed: "I... don't know."
The middle-aged man's expression changed, "Stubborn!"
Before he finished speaking, he fired a burst of true energy, which directly passed through Zhu Xiao's eyebrows, spread throughout the body, and even broke several of Zhu Xiao's meridians!
This person is actually a master-level powerhouse!
And he knows the human body very well and knows how to create maximum pain at the minimum cost.
This man was obviously a master of torture, otherwise Mo Shenfeng wouldn't be so confident that he even made a bet with Lu Li.
"hehe… "
Veins popped up on Zhu Xiao's forehead, and he sweated heavily, but he still sneered, "Even...even if you torture me to death, I still have this answer..."
"I know what you want to ask..."
"But you don't understand... you don't understand the power of those people!"
Zhu Xiao's eyes began to become bloodshot, and the explosion of the third level of poison interrupted his words.
The pain caused by the superposition of the three toxins made Zhu Xiao's consciousness go into a trance, but he immediately woke up, holding on to the painful feeling, not daring to let himself fall into a state of confusion.
As the ancestor of the Zhu family in Yanzhou, he knew very well the methods of the middle-aged man in front of him. If he is really enlightened and his consciousness remains in a trance, he has countless ways to find out what he wants from his mouth.
It was precisely with this in mind that Zhu Xiao did not dare to resist the pain in his body. He relies almost entirely on willpower to hold on. Once his consciousness begins to fade and the other party gets the information he wants, then he really has only one dead end.
The middle-aged man had been paying attention to Zhu Xiao's condition and saw that he was stubbornly resisting to the end. He had a cold face and used his true energy to break the meridians in Zhu Xiao's body from time to time.
The pain in the meridians is not even much easier than the explosion of toxins.
When practicing the exercises on weekdays, the true energy travels in the meridians, and if you are not careful, you will feel swelling and pain. Not to mention that the middle-aged man was using special techniques to cut off Zhu Xiao's meridians bit by bit. The severe pain was almost beyond description in words.
Zhu Xiao's face instantly lost all color.
Outside, the few people watching all this through the water mirror also showed various expressions.
Mu Ningqiu didn't expect that Zhu Xiao could endure the pain of having his meridians shattered, and he didn't even let out a scream until now.
Ge Xinyue fell into deep thought.
She was thinking about who those people Zhu Xiao mentioned were and what kind of power they had that could make even the ancestors of the Zhu family in Yanzhou fear them.
Just like what Lu Li said, Zhu Xiao and Zhao Tianci were probably the victims thrown out by the Yanzhou family after weighing.
But if one speculates based on this line of thinking, it would be equivalent to proving Lu Li's statement that at least half of the Yanzhou family had turned traitor before Zhu Xiao could be driven to accept this death-like mission.
But if that wasn't the case, then who was Zhu Xiao threatened by
The Demon Kingdom? Theistic religion
Ge Xinyue muttered: "He must know the inside story, and we must find a way to pry his mouth open."
