Chapter 435: Torture; Methods to Improve Mental Strength

"hiss……"

As a sharp pain came, Ji Huaxi frowned slightly and finally woke up slowly.

Her memory at this moment was still on the Skeleton Plain, the moment when Su Heng suddenly attacked, that damn monster, his kindness was taken for granted.

As for what happened afterwards, I have no idea.

Ji Huaxi's heart gradually sank, and he even made some worse plans.

She first looked around, taking in the environment she was in. She found that she was not imprisoned in a dirty, leaking cell as she had expected, but in a clean and tidy room with a wooden floor. There was even a lotus-shaped copper stove on the table not far away, with wisps of white smoke seeping out. The smell was not strong, and it seemed to have some calming and beauty effects.

He lifted the thin blanket covering his body and gently walked down from the bed.

Bare feet on the wooden floor.

The armor he was originally wearing was taken off and hung on the weapon rack on the other side.

She was wearing a plain white long skirt that reached her ankles, and she did not seem to be feeling any discomfort.

"call……"

Ji Huaxi covered his chest.

My anxious heart finally relaxed.

She reached out to touch her armor, but at this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside.

The footsteps stopped when they approached the door, and then rhythmic knocks were heard.

"Please come in." Ji Huaxi cleared his throat.

Crunch!

The door was pushed open.

A young woman in black veil came in from outside.

"Your Highness, the Princess, did you have a good rest?" The woman in the black dress bowed and greeted her with a smile.

"I'm in very good shape now." Ji Huaxi raised her chin slightly, narrowed her charming phoenix eyes, and said, "I feel like I can blow the head of a destructive being apart right now."

"That's good." The woman in the black dress seemed to have not heard the threat in Ji Huaxi's words at all, and just gave a faint congratulation.

"Our Lord has always wanted to see you."

"Your Lord..." Ji Huaxi had a bad feeling in his heart, "The Demonic Dragon of the Northern Frontier."

"Ah."

The woman in the black dress said, "Please come with me. Our Lord's patience has always been poor."

"At least let me change my clothes." Ji Huaxi complained softly, but still followed the woman in the black dress and walked out of the room.

Leave the room.

Ji Huaxi felt like he was walking out of a translucent barrier.

The air outside suddenly became a lot heavier, and a loud rumbling sound was heard.

Through the open window in the dim corridor, Ji Huaxi saw blood-red lightning and a huge volcano towering into the clouds. Only then did she realize that she was in a certain world of Changshengtian. How long had she been unconscious? What happened afterwards... Doubts surged into her mind.

Ji Huaxi opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

The woman in front of him didn't look like she wanted to talk to him, and she wasn't the type to ask for help.

Just move forward in silence.

Walking out of the corridor, we came to a hall with black stone slabs outside.

A giant with a burly figure and wearing golden armor had been waiting here for a long time. The two looked at each other, and the giant said to Ji Huaxi, "Please follow me."

Leave the hall.

Ji Huaxi walked barefoot on the wide street outside covered with volcanic ash.

The surrounding area is under construction, and each of the surrounding buildings is more than ten meters high, as if it was specially built for giants. Spreading out his perception a little, a bunch of powerful life breaths are reflected in his mind. Ji Huaxi was immediately surprised. How long has it been, and the Northern Frontier Demon Dragon has gathered so many powerful people under its command.

When they crossed the street, they came to a square at the end.

The flow of people around is getting denser and denser.

There stood eight huge black tablets in the square, arranged in the order of the Eight Trigrams.

Under each stele, there were several or even dozens of people sitting cross-legged. Some of them were warriors wearing golden armor. From the conversations she had heard before, she had learned that these warriors were made by the dragon himself, and were its vicious minions and extensions of its evil will. Others were practitioners from all over the outside world.

Unexpectedly.

In this square, Ji Huaxi also saw an acquaintance.

General Tianshu and Shi Teng, both of them are strong men comparable to the masters of the world, with sharp perception. At this time, they looked at each other from a distance, and then turned their eyes to the side at the same time with tacit understanding.

Those inscriptions obviously recorded some kind of martial arts. Out of curiosity, Ji Huaxi glanced at them out of the corner of his eyes.

It’s like walking through a dark tunnel and suddenly seeing a ray of light in front of you.

The same is true for Ji Huaxi.

Just at the moment I saw those seal characters.

A large amount of spiritual light swept in like a tsunami.

Click!

The bottleneck that had been restraining him for so long began to loosen and cracks appeared.

Ji Huaxi was deeply shocked and for a moment he was reluctant to move away.

She waited until the dragon guard in front of her looked back at her with a questioning and scrutinizing look. Then she blushed slightly, coughed lightly, and pretended not to care and continued forward.

"call……"

Ji Huaxi took a deep breath.

He lowered his head and swallowed his saliva dryly.

Only then did he suppress the fear in his heart.

With just one glance, Ji Huaxi was able to tell that the inscriptions on the steles were actually the skills practiced by the Northern Frontier Demon Dragon himself.

Whether it was the Great Zhou royal family or some famous immortal clans, they all guarded their core heritage with all their might. Even if it was the true heritage of a clan or the direct descendants of a clan, if they wanted to learn it, they had to go through a series of tests, or even set up restrictions.

But Su Heng just openly announced it to the public. Doesn't he worry that someone will find loopholes in his skills and target them?

She suddenly thought of the feeling of despair when facing Su Heng.

The slight doubts that emerged in my mind disappeared in an instant.

Keep going.

The crowds around gradually thinned out.

Ji Huaxi came to the steps of the volcano, surrounded by glowing lava rivers. Led by the dragon guards, Ji Huaxi came to a reception hall that had just been built. As the heavy door slowly opened with the groaning of steel, she once again saw the legendary Northern Frontier Demon Dragon.

Although it's not the first time we met.

But the last time I saw Su Heng, he was no different from a sadistic monster.

This time, a human figure appeared in front of Ji Huaxi.

Su Heng sat casually on the throne at the end of the room, propping his head with his hands. He was wearing a black cloak, and his bronze skin could be seen through the collar. He had a gentle smile on his face, and his raven-gray hair hung down beside his ears. But in Ji Huaxi's eyes, Su Heng at this moment was even more terrifying and twisted than when they first met.

It was like an incomprehensible huge monster was stuffed into a human body.

Even though this body had a smile on its face.

This smile seemed fake to her, and was filled with an indescribable sense of weirdness.

"We meet again, Her Royal Highness the Princess." Su Heng glanced at Ji Huaxi, looking like a greedy businessman examining a rare cargo.

Ji Huaxi only felt like a wet tongue licking her skin, and she almost got goose bumps.

She suppressed her discomfort and said, "Thank you for stopping those powerful destroyers and helping the people of the world survive this disaster."

"I don't have such great ambitions, and I don't care about the lives of the people in the world." Su Heng's smile remained unchanged, but his voice became a little deeper. "The reason I killed them was just because we happened to have some conflicts, that's all."

"Let's not talk about this for now..."

Su Heng retracted his gaze and said, "You made a mistake and caused me a lot of trouble."

"What do you want."

Hearing Su Heng's sudden change of tone, Ji Huaxi's face immediately showed a look of vigilance.

She first subconsciously took a step back, then frowned, encouraged herself, and stared at Su Heng fearlessly.

Su Heng yawned lazily, and a long, bony tail slowly extended from behind him. A young maid holding a huge tray in her hand hurriedly stepped forward, half-knelt on the ground, and raised the tray above her head. Ji Huaxi felt sick when she saw the contents of the tray. It was filled with bloody demon skulls, piled up into a small mountain.

A strong smell of blood wafted out, even forming red mist in the room.

But Su Heng didn't care.

Just like eating melon seeds, he grabbed the skulls with his tail, stuffed them into his mouth, chewed them up and swallowed them with a crisp sound.

The owners of those heads were obviously extremely powerful demons with tenacious vitality. They were still alive even after their heads were chopped off. Ji Huaxi even vaguely heard a few screams when their heads were being chewed into pieces by Su Heng.

"Monster..." Ji Huaxi thought to himself.

But fear inevitably grew, so that her face looked slightly pale.

"You are lucky." Su Heng lowered his eyes and whispered, "Some mistakes, once made, there is no chance to regret, while other mistakes still have some chance to make amends."

"Although you have caused me a lot of trouble, if you can pay enough compensation, I can let this matter go."

"If you can't, haha..."

Su Heng had a smile on his face, but his bloodstained lips and teeth made people shudder. "You don't want to know the consequences."

No matter how strong Ji Huaxi acted, the huge gap in strength could not be ignored. And compared to the lawless Su Heng, she undoubtedly cared about a lot more things. As Su Heng's threatening words, an indescribable aura gradually surrounded her like a cold black mist.

boom!boom!
The external environment seemed to be stripped away and everything became distant.

So much so that in such a situation, the sound of the heartbeat is so clear and heavy.

Ji Huaxi bit her lip and forced herself to calm down. She looked up, looked into Su Heng's eyes, and said, "First, I need to figure out what you want?"

“Drugs that enhance mental strength, precious metals of equal value to dead iron… Oh, I remember that before Emperor Wu died, he was buried with many destructive masters from the Eternal Heaven. If you can bring me seven or eight complete corpses, this matter can be put to rest.” Su Heng snapped his fingers and opened his mouth like a lion, his voice revealing unbridled greed.

"Seven or eight corpses of the mighty powers of destruction, are you kidding me!" Ji Huaxi felt overwhelmed after hearing these requests.

"This is not a problem I should consider. If I can't get the money together, I can use other resources to make up for it."

"How much."

"The amount of spiritual medicine needed to upgrade a Heavenly Ghost to the limit of an Earthly Immortal is one unit. Let's start with one thousand."

"!!?" Ji Huaxi's eyes widened, and his breathing became heavier. "No, you can't get this much even if you sell me."

"Hehehe..."

Su Heng sneered, "I don't care about you, that's not my concern."

Ji Huaxi frowned and wanted to bargain.

But at this time, Su Heng's lazy voice came again, "By the way, I don't know if my subordinates have reminded you that I am not very patient."

"so……"

Su Heng's voice suddenly turned cold, "I advise you to give me a proper explanation as soon as possible."

Rumble!
As his strength circulated, Su Heng's body was submerged in a large cloud of black fog.

At the same time, Ji Huaxi looked at the ground in horror. Amid the rumbling sound, the surrounding floor suddenly cracked, and a large number of blood-red worms appeared from all directions, forming a huge ring, slowly moving towards Ji Huaxi's position and compressing.

Ji Huaxi could clearly see the hair, mucus and wrinkled surface of the insects. An unprecedented fear suddenly surged from the bottom of her heart. She couldn't imagine how terrible it would be to have these things crawling all over her body.

"five!"

To make matters worse, Su Heng's cold and ruthless voice was heard.

Echoing back and forth in the closed hall.

"Four!"

"three!"

"two!"

"...Wait a minute!" At the moment when the worm was about to touch the white toes, Ji Huaxi shouted almost in a screaming voice.

"Snapped!"

With a snap of fingers.

The rustling worms stopped where they were and then receded like a reverse tide.

The black mist dispersed, and Su Heng's burly figure reappeared on the throne at the end of the hall, with a playful smile on his face, "It seems that people still need to be pushed in order to squeeze out their potential."

Ji Huaxi only felt his whole body go limp. He hugged his chest with his hands, spread his legs, and knelt on the ground in a very ungraceful manner, gasping for breath.

Until this time.

She then realized that the back of her long skirt was soaked with sweat and her hair was also wet.

"You want to quickly improve your mental strength in a short period of time." Ji Huaxi looked up at Su Heng, panting and asking carefully.

"Yeah." Su Heng nodded.

"If that's the case, then it will be easier to deal with." Ji Huaxi breathed a sigh of relief with a look of relief on his face.
