"The shield is very powerful. You guys must not slack off. We will definitely be able to get the barbed whip!" Lian Pingchao was so angry that he had no place to vent, so he could only keep attacking the white shield.
"This barbed whip looks very powerful. What is it made of?" Qiu Meng asked.
"The scientific name of the dragon whip is 'Nijiao Whip'. The bodies and souls of ten great demon dragons are integrated into the long whip. When it is whipped, the whip will split into ten, which is very terrifying. However, over the years, the power of the Nijiao Whip has weakened. This kind of Nijiao Whip can be found in the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas, but in terms of material, this whip is better." Fang Yun turned his back to the crowd, observing other torture instruments while explaining the origin of the Nijiao Whip.
After listening to Fang Yun's explanation, the four university scholars became more excited and launched an attack with all their strength.
The white shield that wrapped around the Nijiao Whip was no more than three meters in diameter, and within this three-meter radius it was constantly attacked by the Grand Secretary Wen Tai, verbal battles, and war poems, constantly emitting brilliant sparks and various sounds.
After the four great scholars attacked continuously for a hundred breaths, the shield turned out to be the same as before. The color faded after a while, but it would quickly return to its original state.
"If we attack with all our strength, our energy will run out in a quarter of an hour at most. What will we do then?" Qu An asked.
"There is no other way. We can only continue the attack." Lian Pingchao was helpless.
"You see, the six of them have already made their decision."
The four university scholars turned their heads and saw Yun Zhaochen and the other six holding the holy pages of decree given to them by Fang Yun, each riding a horse towards the torture instruments of their choice.
The torture instruments were scattered all over the display shelves, and this second hall was larger than the first, two miles long and wide. It took the six men a while on horseback to reach their respective locations.
"Yun Fang, can we just attack the torture instruments directly?" Yun Zhaochen asked with his tongue thundering.
Fang Yun said: "First, hold my decree and press the side with the text on the light shield. Take it off after a moment, and you can cut off the connection between the Sin Palace and the light shield. However, my decree is not an order from Dragon Prison. So you have to break the light shield to obtain it."
"Thank you!" The six people thanked him in unison, and then, as Fang Yun said, they placed the imperial edict on the light shield for a second, then picked it up and launched the attack.
Each of the six university scholars attacked a protective shield. Their attack methods were exactly the same as those of the previous four people, involving verbal sparring, literary debates, and war poems. However, unlike the four people, the light shield in front of the six people was slowly fading at a visible speed.
Qiu Meng was shocked and said, "According to their speed, it will take at most 200 breaths to defeat them!"
"I don't believe we will be much later than them. Keep attacking!"
While the ten grand secretaries were attacking the shield, Fang Yun looked through all the torture instruments and nameplates, and finally stood in a daze in front of the empty display stand at the deepest part.
After a while, Fang Yun took out a piece of wood from the Yinjiangbei.
This piece of wood is as tall as a seven or eight-year-old child and as thick as an adult's upper arm. It looks like a piece of brown jade, but it is not a standard cylindrical shape. It seems to have been split by an external force, and its surface is very smooth, which means that the force that split the wood was very strong.
This piece of wood was originally discovered by Lian Pingchao, who later exchanged it with Fang Yun for a jade stone containing the aura of sainthood. As a result, the jade stone was shattered, and Lian Pingchao lost both his wife and his army.
In everyone's eyes, this was just an ordinary piece of Phoenix Fire Wutong wood. Fang Yun also thought so at first, but later, after carefully recalling the surface of the wood, he realized that this piece of wood was definitely not an ordinary Phoenix Fire Wutong wood.
Fang Yun looked at it for a while, put away the piece of wood, and looked at the nameplate on the display stand, which recorded the torture instruments that had been placed on the platform in the Dragon language.
Phoenix Fire Chain.
There is a picture of this torture instrument in the ancient demon inheritance.
In the scene of the ancient demon inheritance, a thousand-foot-tall phoenix made entirely of flames soared in the sky, with ten flame chains extending from its tail, each of which was wrapped around an ancient demon semi-saint.
The body of the Ancient Demon Half Saint was stronger than that of the Demon Barbarian Half Saint, but it was burned by the flame chains and made a sizzling sound. The flames penetrated deep into the flesh, causing the ten Ancient Demon Half Saints to howl in pain continuously.
Not only did the flames burn on the ancient monster's body, but there were also traces of flame chains in its eyes.
The Phoenix Fire Chains not only burn the body, but also the soul. It is one of the ten most feared tortures by ancient demons.
The Sin Palace is where the water creatures are imprisoned, and using the Phoenix Fire Chains to imprison and punish them is the most appropriate.
"If a half-saint of the legal school can obtain the Phoenix Fire Chain and integrate it into the code, his strength will probably increase by double!" Fang Yun thought to himself, pinched Zhan Shi Longma, turned around, and looked at the entire hall.
Various torture instruments such as the dragon iron guillotine, the demon bone heavy club, the lock cage, the sea-burning cauldron, etc. flashed before his eyes one by one, but Fang Yun was pondering in his heart.
"All instruments of torture that are about ten feet long can be put into the Yinjiangbei, but for those that are more than ten feet long, I can only take one and put it into my 'Code of Law'. No more can be taken. Instruments of torture are not weapons, and their lethality is ultimately limited. For instruments of torture that are put into the Code of Law, it is better to take instruments with other characteristics rather than those with destructive power. What I want most is to obtain the 'Drawing a Prison on the Ground' of the Legalists, but except for the Miscellaneous School, the auxiliary codes of other schools cannot use that power. The best way is to take similar instruments of torture and put them into the auxiliary codes of law."
"We scholars cannot use these dragon torture instruments, but as long as the code can absorb them, we can obtain the characteristics of the torture instruments. However, my minor code was just completed not long ago, less than a year ago, so it is difficult to collect suitable torture instruments."
Fang Yun thought about it in his mind, and finally set his sights on the "Locking Cage".
The Locking Cage is twenty feet high and looks like an ordinary cage at first glance, but on the vertical metal bars of the cage, in addition to bloodstains, there are also strange spiral patterns, exuding a strange smell.
If this torture device could be included in the law code, it would certainly have a power similar to that of a prison made of a circle.
However, Fang Yun was very dissatisfied, because the code could only accept one of the same type of torture instruments and they were not replaceable, unless one accepted part of a certain instrument first and then completed it and accepted all of them.
"This Locking Cage may be a treasure that ordinary legalists and scholars dream of, but in my eyes it is a little worse, because this Locking Cage is just a replica. The real Locking Cage can lock up the Ancient Demon Saint, but this one can only lock up the ordinary Great Demon King. Not to mention that it is not as good as the Phoenix Fire Chain, it is even worse than the Burning Sea Cauldron. It's a pity that there is no choice now. Let's try to store it with the Codex first. If it can be stored, keep using it. If not, wait until you go deep into the Sin Suppression Hall and encounter other torture cages and try again. Maybe you will encounter better ones."
Fang Yun rode the War Poetry Dragon Horse to the front of the Locking Cage, turned his back to everyone else, and the Legalist Code appeared in front of him to prevent others from seeing it.
The scholars in the ancient land of Xuemang hated the Legalists the most.
Fang Yun took a deep breath. The legal code could not accept all instruments of torture. If that were the case, the Legalists would have been invincible in the world long ago. Only instruments of torture that matched the nature of the code could be accepted. For example, the legal code of a Legalist who opposed the death penalty would never accept instruments of torture such as the guillotine.
"Order!" Fang issued the order using the dragon language.
After hearing this, the ten university scholars all looked over curiously. Then they saw that the light shield covering the cage quickly converged and then disappeared.
Lian Pingchao and the other four looked extremely unhappy.
