Chapter 31

At this moment, Chen Ming was so terrified that his soul nearly shattered. No one understood better than he did what these instruments of torture were meant for! In Chu Tianhe’s hand was the crescent blade, specifically used to gouge out the kneecaps—a punishment known as crippling torture.

“Didn’t you say you wanted to play with me?” Chu Tianhe looked down at Chen Ming, whose face was twisted in terror, his body soiled by his own filth. Chu Tianhe frowned slightly and spoke in a deep voice, “This is only the beginning. Every instrument here will be used on you, one by one. Before that, you are not allowed to die.”

Thus, as soon as one instrument of torture was exhausted, Chu Tianhe would switch to another. At first, Chen Ming’s screams grew louder and louder, but as the methods grew ever more cruel, his cries became weaker, each one softer than the last.

Even the officers watching from outside the interrogation room could no longer bear the sight. They all turned away, unable to witness any more of the bloody scene.

Meanwhile, in Jiangzhou City, at the War Bureau headquarters—

“What did you just say?”

“Repeat that!!”

After receiving the call from the Security Division, the chief of the War Bureau, Lin Feng, broke out in cold sweat and barked furiously, “You’d better tell me clearly—who did your Security Division arrest?”

After repeatedly confirming that it was indeed Chu Tianhe, Lin Feng felt his mind go blank.

The War Bureau had issued strict orders: under no circumstances was anyone to provoke Chu Tianhe. He was the Master of the Pantheon, now living in seclusion in Jiangzhou. Whoever dared to offend him was courting death!

Just a few days ago, the Supreme Commander of the War Bureau, Zhang Zhenhu, had knelt publicly before Chu Tianhe, then spent seven days in the cemetery paying his respects.

Even Zhang Zhenhu didn’t dare cross him, yet the Security Division had actually arrested him?!

Furious, Lin Feng cursed loudly into the phone, “Do you even realize who you’ve arrested?”

“You… you idiots have dragged the King of Hell into your Security Division!!”

“A bunch of fools!”

Slamming down the phone, Lin Feng dared not delay a moment. He immediately gathered all his elite warriors and rushed toward the Security Division. He floored the accelerator, and though it was only a dozen kilometers, the car sped as if racing on the Bayanbulak Circuit—a mad dash for survival.

In an instant, every agent in the War Bureau across the city mobilized, all heading straight for the Security Division.

“Hurry, hurry… idiots, a bunch of idiots!!”

Lin Feng cursed as he drove. In Grand Xia, every city was governed by three powers: The Security Division for ordinary citizens, the War Bureau for ancient martial artists, and the Divine Guard Commander who operated directly under the War Bureau, tasked with handling sudden outbreaks of battle.

Of these, the Security Division had the lowest rank. The War Bureau and the Divine Guard Commander were equal in status.

Unlike the Divine Guard Commander, the War Bureau had fewer personnel, but each was an elite among elites. After all, they faced crimes committed by ancient martial artists, and without strength, order could not be maintained.

But no matter how powerful they were, none dared to act rashly before Chu Tianhe!

The Divine Guard Commander, Li Changhu, was already dead. The new commander had yet to arrive. Now, with the Security Division provoking Chu Tianhe, was the sky about to collapse upon their heads?

Lin Feng’s heart was burning with rage!

“Where is he?!”

Soon, Lin Feng arrived at the Security Division with hundreds of War Bureau experts, storming in and unleashing a torrent of curses!

The Security Division staff were stunned. They had never seen such a display—the entire elite force of Jiangzhou’s War Bureau had assembled, forming layer upon layer, surrounding the Security Division so tightly not even a drop of water could escape.

“Gulp.”

Everyone swallowed nervously under the tense atmosphere. In the whole history of Jiangzhou, the War Bureau had never mobilized like this. Was it possible they had really arrested the King of Hell this time?
