"Look at your eyes. How determined! I can feel your resolution. Promise me you will uphold it for a long time. Let me show you the beauty of my art. Okay. Let's move to the main topic. Let it begin." Ye Xiao was smiling, talking like he was discussing something with his best friends about putting on a performance.

However, because he was more casual, the five men felt more anxious.

[He looks so calm and casual. Does it mean he is confident?]

"You are apparently a powerful cultivator. May I have your name, please?" Tan Qingfeng abruptly asked while looking at Ye Xiao with a pale face.

"My name? I am Ye Xiao." Ye Xiao coldly looked back into his eyes and said, "Ye Xiao of Ye Clan."

"Ye Clan? Ye Xiao?" Tan Qingfeng was confused. "How did you…"

Tan Qingfeng had joined the battle against Xiao Monarch. He could recognize Xiao Monarch's unique techniques. That was why he knew the name of the martial art when he saw Ye Xiao's sword attack a while earlier. However, he felt that this Ye Xiao was much more horrible than Xiao Monarch in the old days. That sword attack was so powerful that he hadn't seen any strikes that could be better in his life. Even the most influential men, the grand elders of Saint Sunlight Sect, could do no better. [If this young man is related to Xiao Monarch, he will be a disaster to Saint Sunlight Sect. I am afraid he will be more like a catastrophe than Xiao Monarch to our sect!]

"Haha. Really? Are you so curious even in your last gasp? Fine. Let me tell you the answers. When you die, I want you to die with a clear mind." Ye Xiao blandly said, "Don't worry. You will die with the truth in your head!"

He talked like consoling a man who was about to die a natural death.

Tan Qingfeng's eyes were flickering. He hoarsely said, "I hope you will keep your words."

Ye Xiao humphed and said, "I, the monarch, always keep my words!"

[The monarch!]

Tan Qingfeng was shocked.

[What monarch?]

[Is this man a leader of some powerful force? Is he in the same sect with Xiao Monarch?]

Ye Xiao had told him that he was Ye Xiao of Ye Clan. However, he was too powerful to be a young lord in a small clan. Even Tan Qingfeng, a level nine Dao Origin Stage cultivator, could only look up to him. He just couldn't believe this young man was the young lord of Ye Clan! [Ye Xiao? What? Am I a kid to you? Ye Xiao of Ye Clan is a kid! How could he possibly be this dominant?]

Ye Xiao stood up and walked to the man who was nearest to him. He said, "Are you sure you won't tell me anything? This is the last chance of yours before I start my performance!"

That man humphed and forcibly looked away.

"Haha. So be it. Let's begin the show then…" Ye Xiao decided not to waste time. His two hands suddenly moved like lightning. He kept changing the gestures of his hands in quick succession. Sometimes, they were fists, sometimes, palm attacks, sometimes, finger hits…

He kept making different movements with his hands on that man. He moved them so fast that it dazzled the five of them. However, they were all just able to see what he was doing because Ye Xiao slowed down his hands to make them see. He wanted them to see every move of his hands.

"There are two methods of inquisition by torture in the world that are well-known to the world. One is Physique Abruption Grasp, while the other is Vein Refluence Blast."

As he kept performing his complicated 'art', he tried to give an explanation to the five. "I guess you all have heard of these two methods. I believe you all know how they work. You must be confident about getting through the two methods. Either of them could get a man killed once the torture went further than the physical body could endure…"

"Nothing is scarier than death. Everybody says so." Ye Xiao continued, "I believe you all think that you have experienced enough life and death, so you are indifferent to life and death… In fact, you don't think it is a problem to die after experiencing enough tragedies in your lives. Am I right?"

None of the men answered. In their eyes, they were sneering. What Ye Xiao said was exactly what they had in mind.

"You know what we have in mind. Why do you still waste your time? Just let us die. You and us, we will all be free," Tan Qingfeng fiercely said.

"It seems you didn't listen to me carefully. Those two methods are effective as everybody believed. However, they are the basic level of the art of inquisitions. What I mean is that other than the basic level art, there must be some higher-level methods."

Ye Xiao slowly said, "You are lucky. You are about to experience the high-level art of inquisition by torture. It is true that death is the end of everything. However, what if I tell you that you are going to live in suffering? What if the torture will never reach the limitation of the endurance of your physical bodies? When you are dangling between life and death, suffering the extreme pain, you will realize how wonderful the art of inquisition by torture is…"

Ye Xiao grinned and said, "Guys, please enjoy the show of a special series of inquisition methods… I have given a name to it, the Advanced Abruption Grasp… What it does is to twist every inch of people's muscles and bones… It messes every part of people's Jing and Mai… also the veins…"

When he said it, the other four men's faces all turned pale.

"Don't be surprised yet. It is not the end. The first phase of it, you will feel pain. Pure pain. Unbearable pain. That is easy to understand. When a man's Jing and Mai got twisted inside the body… we can imagine how it feels. Don't doubt it. Look. You can see it yourselves!"

Ye Xiao held up the man who had been hit by him many times. He waved one hand, and that man's clothes became ashes. The man's body was revealed to the other four.

Under the man's skins, there were thousands of small snakes creeping… Suddenly, the snakes accelerated. The man made a painful exclamation, and his muscles and veins all got twisted.

The man exclaimed so sorely. He felt extreme pain in his body. The muscle tendon of his feet suddenly moved to his thighs, while the muscle of his neck became twisted like fried dough twist.

He was only able to exclaim for a short while before utter silence came over. A two meters tall man started to shrink until he didn't look like a human shape anymore.
