Xu Dong rushed to the feet of the black mist monster.
The crazed black mist monster didn't recognize its master at all. It raised its foot and stomped down on Xu Dong's head.
Xu Dong did not resist; he had already given up all hope.
He had lost all will to fight, faced with Executioner who could even kill a god.
Death is the best relief.
If you don't die now, you'll regret it when you're suffering unbearable torment and can't even die.
The monster's enormous foot was about to stomp down; with its power, it could crush Xu Dong to death with a single step.
But at that moment, the Monster System Ability User suddenly rushed forward.
He shielded the fatal kick with his body.
He arched his body and managed to block the kick with his own powerful physique.
Xu Dong stared wide-eyed at the scene, but the life-saving grace did not fill him with gratitude. At this moment, he only wanted to "thank" the man's ancestors for eighteen generations.
He was determined to die, but this person risked his life to save him.
What exactly are they trying to do?
Are we not even going to give him a chance to die?
The Executioner approached, his icy voice sending chills down everyone's spine.
"Your lives are mine, and I will not allow you to commit suicide! Only I can kill you."
The Executioner's words filled Xu Dong with utter despair.
He certainly didn't want to die; he committed suicide only because he didn't want to suffer humiliation and torment.
Falling into the hands of this Executioner would be an absolute nightmare.
At this moment, taking advantage of the Executioner's attention being focused on Xu Dong, the Boundary System Ability User suddenly withdrew the barrier and fled outside.
During his escape, he set up three or four barriers behind him, completely separating himself from the Executioner.
He desperately fled towards the exit.
The Executioner left a deep impression on him; he was the most terrifying being he had ever seen in his life.
They were capable of killing gods, and their methods were extremely cruel.
The Blood Banquet Guild is no pushover either, but their cruelty pales in comparison to that of the Executioner.
He ran forward as fast as he could, wanting nothing more than to get away from this terrifying presence.
He was very familiar with the map here, and the route out was in his mind.
He dared not waste a second, and used the fastest speed he had ever ever used.
"He's trying to escape, great Executioner! You mustn't let him go! He's challenging your authority!"
Seeing that his teammates were about to escape, Xu Dong shouted.
He stayed behind to be tortured, while his teammates escaped; such an outcome is truly unfair.
If we're going to die, let's die together.
Moreover, he also harbored a sliver of hope.
He would have a chance to escape if the Executioner went after his teammate.
Even just giving him a little time, even just time to commit suicide, would be good.
As the guild leader of the prestigious Blood Banquet Guild, a figure once feared by all, he now harbored such humble thoughts, a fact he himself found laughable.
But the Executioner merely glanced at him and ignored him, his gaze returning to him.
His little scheme failed.
He couldn't understand why the Executioner would spare his teammate; his luck was just too bad.
But he soon realized that his teammate had also failed to escape.
A piercing scream rang out.
The heart-wrenching screams sent a chill down his spine.
But he discovered that the Executioner thoroughly enjoyed the screams.
It seemed that, in his eyes, that sound was the most beautiful music.
Xu Dong could understand, because when he tortured his enemies, he also enjoyed hearing their screams.
But things are different now. He can't appreciate that sound anymore; he's the one in the middle now, and he might be the one screaming next.
Finally, he saw his teammate and understood why he had screamed.
His teammate was engulfed in eerie green flames.
Flames engulfed his entire body, burning his soul; excruciating pain spread throughout his body, assaulting his brain.
At this moment, the excruciating pain had rendered him irrational, and he was running around or rolling on the ground purely on instinct.
But the flame showed no sign of going out, for it was a flame that burned the soul.
The flame will not be extinguished until the soul has burned out completely.
Xu Dong broke out in a cold sweat. Was this his retribution?
Now he has become someone else's prey, just as he once tormented his own prey.
Gradually, the screams faded away, and the flames died down as they ran out of fuel, leaving only the charred body.
"Soulfire!"
Xu Dong recognized him, and now he found the Executioner in front of him even more terrifying.
A single glance is enough to unleash the Soulfire.
He didn't know what other abilities this Executioner possessed, but since he could kill a god, he must have even greater power.
Faced with such an enemy, he had no reason to struggle at all.
The Executioner didn't kill them all outright; he only did so to torture them.
This is an incredibly powerful being, capable of slaying gods. Why would he consider him an enemy?
Xu Dong suddenly knelt on the ground, his eyes filled with reverence.
At that moment, he made up his mind that he should serve the Executioner before him as he would Bloodied Sovereign.
He could become a follower of the Bloodied Sovereign, but since the Executioner killed his god, why couldn't he become a follower of the Executioner?
This is perfectly fine, not shameful at all, and might even save your life.
"Great Executioner, I am willing to be your servant, to follow you forever, to serve you, and to give my life for you!"
Everything I have belongs to you; please accept me as your servant!
The Executioner looked at him but didn't make any move, which pleased Xu Dong.
This means that the Executioner intends to accept him.
As long as he performs well enough.
From this moment forward, I will abandon my former beliefs.
You are my master, my only faith, and I will dedicate my life to spreading your greatness throughout the world.
If you are so compassionate and forgive my sins, I will forever be grateful for your kindness.
I will be your faithful servant, and my descendants will always be your servants...
Xu Dong Tongtao relentlessly demonstrated his loyalty.
He was so moved that he almost moved himself to tears.
But the Executioner was not moved by him; instead, he exuded an even colder aura.
Xu Dong's expression changed; he sensed something was wrong.
Did I say something wrong?
He thought about it carefully, but it didn't seem like it.
"How dare you insult me!" the Executioner said coldly.
"I..." Xu Dong's mind went completely blank. He hadn't cursed anyone; his words were all praise. How could it be considered an insult?
In this situation, he wouldn't dare to curse even if he had ten times the courage.
"Mercy? You think I'm merciful? Fine, I'll show you my mercy!"
The Executioner suddenly made his move; he saw a scythe slash past his eyes, the scene changed, and he found himself in another dimension.
The Executioner's torture chamber!
