"Hahaha, Ye Cangtian, you underestimate us too much!"
"Let me tell you, neither they nor I will surrender!"
Wang Qisheng immediately burst into laughter, then drew his long saber and charged towards Ye Cangtian.
"Alas! Truly stubborn and unyielding!"
Ye Cangtian sighed, his figure flashed, and he met the charge directly. At the same time, he revealed the Skull Dagger and the Ice Crystal Dagger in his hands.
Clink, clink, clink...
In an instant, after more than ten exchanges, Wang Qisheng was forced to pull back.
He looked at his body in astonishment, his clothes already bearing several rents, from which bright red blood continuously flowed.
Looking at Ye Cangtian, Wang Qisheng gritted his teeth, his eyes showing unwillingness. The opponent was actually unharmed!
"Why, why are you so strong!" Wang Qisheng finally roared.
"There is no why!"
Ye Cangtian looked at Wang Qisheng calmly and said faintly, "Wang Qisheng, you have no chance of a comeback today. Surrender!"
"My dictionary does not contain the word surrender!"
Wang Qisheng roared in anger, then his entire body's spiritual energy surged madly towards his long saber.
In an instant, a faint halo appeared around the long saber.
With a furious roar from Wang Qisheng, the long saber hacked towards Ye Cangtian repeatedly.
"Futile!"
Ye Cangtian uttered two words, and then his dagger was instantly replaced by the Death Scythe, which he swung.
Crack!
With the very first direct impact, the Death Scythe completely shattered the long saber.
Seeing this, Wang Qisheng was stunned.
The three consecutive slashes he had unleashed were his most powerful moves, and each slash had an amplification effect. This meant the third slash was the strongest strike.
Yet, the opponent had broken his moves with a single blow. Had he already seen through everything?
How was this even possible!
In fact, these three consecutive slashes had a certain similarity to the Yin-Yang Heaven-Breaking Slash. The initial attacks were merely to mislead, serving to amplify the subsequent attacks.
Furthermore, Ye Cangtian's spiritual power was exceptionally strong, and he immediately discovered the secret.
Because of this, he directly used the Death Scythe, aiming to break the opponent's attack in one fell swoop.
"Wang Qisheng, all your subordinates have been captured. Do you still intend to resist?"
Ye Cangtian's voice echoed. Wang Qisheng glanced at his surroundings and only then did he realize that Wu Cheng and the others had indeed been subdued.
There was no other way. Including Wu Cheng, they were only two Earth-level powerhouses. The rest were Heaven-level powerhouses.
Such a lineup was no match for Gui Wu and Lan Yue, let alone the fact that the two women also had Shangguan Yun and Xu Shian with them!
"Ye Cangtian, I told you, not one of us will surrender!"
As he spoke, Wang Qisheng glanced at Wu Cheng and the others and said, "You know what you should do, right?"
As his voice fell, a look of resolute determination flashed in the eyes of Wu Cheng and the others.
"Not good! They're going to commit suicide!"
Ye Cangtian immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly warned them.
However, he was still too late. Wu Cheng and the others' necks twitched slightly, as if they had swallowed something.
The next moment, a trace of black blood trickled from the corners of Wu Cheng and the others' mouths. They collapsed to the ground, convulsing.
Long before the operation, everyone had made preparations.
To prevent capture and enduring torture, they had hidden potent poison in their mouths.
As long as they wished, they could bite open the poison at any time. Once the poison was ingested, death would occur within at most ten seconds, leaving no chance for anyone to rescue them.
On the other side, seeing Wu Cheng and the others fall to their deaths, a satisfied yet vicious smile appeared on Wang Qisheng's face.
He glanced at Ye Cangtian and said, "Ye Cangtian, you're thinking too much if you expect us to surrender and reveal some information from our mouths!"
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian glanced at Wang Qisheng and said coldly, "They had poison hidden beforehand. I really didn't expect that. However, this trick has already been used. Do you have any other moves?"
"I..."
With that single sentence, the smile on Wang Qisheng's face instantly froze.
He understood the meaning behind the words.
It implied that he would eventually fall into the opponent's hands, and what would he use to end his life then?
If he had no other means, would he have to endure inhumane torture?
Thinking of this, Wang Qisheng became extremely furious and roared, "Ye Cangtian, I'd like to see how you stop me!"
As he spoke, Wang Qisheng had already bitten open the poison in his mouth.
Now that only he remained, and he was no match for Ye Cangtian, continuing to resist was meaningless. He was destined to fall into the opponent's hands.
However, he absolutely would not be taken prisoner, so the only thing he could do now was to swallow the poison and die.
Therefore, the moment he bit open the poison, Wang Qisheng turned and fled.
In his opinion, as long as he could endure for more than ten seconds, until the medicine took effect and the poison attacked his heart, even if Ye Cangtian were a celestial being, he could not save him.
Buzz!
But the moment he turned, a buzzing sound suddenly echoed in his mind, followed by an unbearable sharp pain.
In an instant, he lost control of his body.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian directly used Soul Piercing to stun Wang Qisheng.
He then glanced at Xu Weiwei beside him, gesturing for her to clean up the scene.
Afterward, he leaped in front of Wang Qisheng and placed his large hand on Wang Qisheng's vital acupoints.
At the same time, Ye Cangtian circulated his Heavenly Cycle technique, using his Devouring ability to absorb the poison that was surging towards Wang Qisheng's vital acupoints one by one.
Not long after, the scene was cleaned up, and Wang Qisheng slowly regained consciousness from his coma.
When he saw the starry sky, he couldn't help but mutter, "Is this the afterlife? I didn't expect there to be stars here..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Qisheng's eyes widened in disbelief because he saw a series of playful smiling faces.
In front of him appeared Ye Cangtian and the others, and most importantly, he saw everything around him. This was still the family compound!
Damn it, what's going on?
Wang Qisheng found it hard to believe. He had clearly felt a sharp pain in his head just now. That should have been the effect of the potent poison, right?
But why wasn't he dead?
"Wang Qisheng, some moves can only be used once in front of me. I reminded you just now, but you simply didn't believe me!"
"Now that the poison in your mouth is gone, what other methods do you have to commit suicide?"
While Wang Qisheng was in a daze, Ye Cangtian's voice echoed again.
"You!"
Wang Qisheng was instantly enraged. However, he was surprised to find that a wave of dizziness struck his mind again.
This was not a residual effect of the poison, but rather due to his lack of spiritual energy.
To prevent Wang Qisheng from causing further trouble, Ye Cangtian had also devoured his spiritual energy while absorbing the poison in his body.
"Do as you please, whether it's to kill or torture me!"
Finally, Wang Qisheng squeezed out a sentence. There was nothing he could do. Without any spiritual energy in his body, he had no power to resist and could only face it.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian revealed a faint smile and said, "Actually, I just want to know the entire story and Chen Yi's ultimate goal.
As long as you truthfully confess, I can spare your life! Of course, I can also let you die peacefully!"
"Ye Cangtian, are you insane!"
"I'm determined to die. Do you think the conditions you've offered are attractive to me?"
Wang Qisheng's face showed extreme disdain. He had long since disregarded life and death. For Ye Cangtian to still use these as bargaining chips was utterly laughable.
"Believe me, if you do not cooperate, whether you live or die will be beyond your reach!" Ye Cangtian said calmly.
"Hmph!"
"I'd like to see what means you have!"
Wang Qisheng snorted in defiance of Ye Cangtian's warning. In his opinion, he feared not even death, so why should he fear pain?
However, the moment he finished speaking, he regretted it. Pain echoed in his mind again, as if his soul were being ripped and torn away.
That feeling was countless times more intense than before.
What was most suffocating was that despite such pain, he not only did not lose consciousness but also maintained a degree of clarity.
However, he was utterly helpless against this torment and could only endure it!
