Xu Jie's methods are becoming more and more brutal!

At the same time, his courage has also grown!

He killed the mercenaries flying the Guard Army banner without hesitation, and his methods were extremely cruel.

Instead of a quick death with a single blow, he tortured them to death.

Cruel, ruthless, and cold-blooded, like a demon that revels in slaughter and gains pleasure from torturing living beings!

Inside the village engulfed in flames, Xu Jie strode up to Commander Qin.

He tilted his head, a cruel smile curving his lips.

"Xu Jie... you... will surely die..."

"Is that so? It's a pity you won't see it, but I can watch you die!"

Xu Jie casually discarded his dulled battle knife, ignoring the half-severed mercenaries still groaning and screaming around him.

He circled Commander Qin like a butcher inspecting fish on a cutting board.

Then, Xu Jie's lips curled upwards. He stomped on Commander Qin's chest, grabbed one of his arms with both hands, and yanked it outward with all his might.

"Ahhh!!!"

A piercing scream suddenly rang out. Commander Qin's eyes widened, bloodshot, and an overwhelming sense of terror washed over him.

Xu Jie was going to tear him apart alive!

Rip, crack!

Under Xu Jie's manipulation, Commander Qin's arm first tore open the skin, then the flesh, tendons, and blood vessels snapped, bones broke, and finally, Xu Jie tore off an arm with brute force.

His movements were not fast; he seemed to be deliberately slowing down, applying force bit by bit.

This was so Commander Qin could clearly feel the extreme pain, watching himself being torn to shreds piece by piece.

Overwhelmed by the agony, Commander Qin let out a roar and then fainted on the spot.

Xu Jie paid no mind to this. He gripped the hilt of the knife stuck in Commander Qin's chest and twisted it fiercely, crushing some of his internal organs.

The immense pain brought Commander Qin back to consciousness. He stared at the expressionless Xu Jie with a face full of despair and terror.

"Don't rush, there's still plenty of time!"

After waking Commander Qin up, Xu Jie walked to another side and, using the same method, tore off a leg with brute force.

He was like a butcher... no!

Butchers and executioners kill swiftly with a single blow!

Xu Jie was different; he was torturing Commander Qin bit by bit!

During the process of tearing him apart alive, Commander Qin fainted multiple times. Xu Jie simply rotated the knife handle without hesitation, forcing the man to stay conscious, his methods incredibly cruel.

Finally, Commander Qin, with all four limbs torn apart one by one, lay there numbly, his eyes vacant and lifeless, as if his soul had departed.

Xu Jie remained unfazed. He walked to Commander Qin's head, stepped on his shoulder, grabbed his hair with one hand, and slowly applied force again.

Screech!

The sound of scalp tearing in large patches erupted, causing Commander Qin to scream again.

Seeing this, Xu Jie frowned in dissatisfaction, as if chiding Commander Qin's scalp for not being tough enough.

So, he simply leaned down, shoved one hand into Commander Qin's eye socket, found a leverage point like a handle, and continued to pull and tear.

Rip!

Commander Qin's neck snapped bit by bit, spewing gouts of blood.

Xu Jie slowly eased the force, allowing Commander Qin a brief respite, then continued to apply pressure, tormenting him further.

After repeating this an unknown number of times, Commander Qin finally couldn't take it anymore.

A look of resolve flashed in his single eye. His jaw moved, as if he intended to bite his tongue and commit suicide.

Who was Xu Jie in his past life?

Having tormented countless enemies, how could he not understand what Commander Qin was about to do?

Xu Jie knew exactly what Commander Qin was thinking at that moment.

Therefore, he struck first, slamming his palm down and crushing Commander Qin's jaw into minced meat. Half of his face disappeared, leaving only a solitary point for a mouth.

Nodding with satisfaction, Xu Jie continued to torment Commander Qin.

It wasn't until Commander Qin died of brain death due to extreme pain, his single eye turning ashen white and completely losing its vitality, that Xu Jie indifferently released his grip, pulled out his battle knife, and decapitated Commander Qin with a single stroke.

He glanced at the half-severed mercenaries still crawling on the ground around him and couldn't help but frown.

Why no Lifespan reward?

This struck him as strange. Logically, with so many mercenaries dead, there should have been some reward.

Some mercenaries at the Blood-Moving Low-Stage, whose vitality was not strong enough, had probably already breathed their last.

However, as of now, Xu Jie hadn't gained a single usable point of Lifespan.

It seemed...

that he could only plunder usable Lifespan by killing living beings on the spot with his Life-Sacrifice System.

This meant the mercenary groups here wouldn't provide him with any rewards.

It didn't matter!

Xu Jie didn't make a move to kill the mercenaries who were still alive and struggling.

His goal was to vent his anger. Even without usable Lifespan, he had to do this!

He wouldn't be able to quell the frustration and rage in Xu Jie's heart unless he tortured these people to death.

Usable Lifespan was just a trivial matter. With Xia Country's tens of billions of people and hundreds of billions of demons, how could he possibly lack usable Lifespan for cultivation in the future?

With a cold laugh, Xu Jie spat on Commander Qin's corpse, hoisted his greatsword, and prepared to leave the village to pursue the few mercenaries who had escaped.

As he passed the courtyard engulfed in flames, Xu Jie paused...

He turned and walked towards the brutally injured little girl's corpse lying in the corner.

He crouched down and closed the little girl's wide-open eyes. Then, he took off his outer garment and covered the little girl's naked body, preserving a sliver of her dignity.

Next, Xu Jie walked to the courtyard entrance and gently placed the little loli's corpse, which had been hanging by a rope in mid-air, covered in blood, and with a similarly gruesome lower body, down.

He held the little loli's corpse and gently placed it beside her sister.

Damn them! They deserve to die!

Seeing the tragic state of the two little girls, Xu Jie, who had always been extremely indifferent, felt his body tremble slightly for the first time.

Before, his hand that had wielded the sword to kill the mercenaries had, for the first time, hesitated to touch a corpse.

Gradually, the madness in his eyes grew more intense, finally breaking through his rational threshold.

Xu Jie wasn't unfamiliar with human tragedies; in fact, he had seen many in his past life.

It was just that back then, in Southeast Asia, he had encountered ruthless individuals, and it hadn't affected him as deeply as this.

Honestly, even in a place like Southeast Asia, most warlords and local militias wouldn't bully ordinary farmers without reason, because people need to eat!

No matter how difficult things were, the lowest rungs of society could at least get a bite to eat and survive.

Xu Jie didn't understand!

How could the Martial Artists in this world bully and humiliate civilians so unscrupulously? Didn't they eat?

They were already humble, living lives worse than grass. As Martial Artists, even if they didn't protect their country, they should at least have some basic principles.

Xu Jie, in both his past and present lives, had never stooped to bullying the weak. His only focus was on becoming stronger!
