Chapter 579

The chains fell, creating sharp whistling sounds, and were wreathed in a gray-black aura of death!

After being lashed more than a dozen times, his armor shattered and his skin torn open.

However, it must be said that the physical bodies of Grandmaster Rank experts are truly formidable.

Xiao Hei's death chains only barely broke through his skin and didn't cause much damage.

But it's okay, just keep trying.

After all, Xiao Hei is a Tier Four hero, and his power is considerable.

Moreover, it is precisely this kind of attack that allows them to experience even more intense pain!

"Slap! Slap slap!"

Next, the sound of Xiao Hei whipping his weapon echoed throughout the open space, and the death chains left afterimages as they swung.

The ground was riddled with countless cracks, and the surrounding area was filled with deathly aura.

This guy was quite tough; he endured over a hundred lashes, almost passing out from the beatings, but he remained silent.

Shen Xing frowned slightly, sensing something was amiss.

Although he had other interrogation techniques, such as Old Fordring's [Repentance].

By casting this spell on them, you can make them reveal everything they know.

However, the prerequisite for performing the [Repentance] is that the other party is in a state of mental weakness.

The best way to break down a person's mental defenses is through torture and forced confessions.

But as it stands, this guy is very stubborn, and it won't be easy to get him to talk anytime soon.

At this moment, Shen Xing suddenly thought of another idea, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Since chains and whips alone can't make you talk, let's add something else!

"Kratos, electrocute him!"

Shen Xing looked at the silent, gray-white-clad burly man beside him and gave the order.

Kratos was slightly taken aback, but then he understood.

Then, he raised his fists, and a dark purple current surged up from his body.

"Sizzle—Sizzle—!"

—The God's Wrath has begun!

At first, the deputy city lord of Black Hawk City didn't take it seriously, only glancing at it briefly before looking away.

The moment Kratos gripped the chains, a terrifying electric current surged through them.

At this moment, the deputy city lord of Black Hawk City felt the pain of his soul being pierced through.

It felt as if countless red-hot blades were churning inside his veins!

This Grandmaster Rank expert could no longer maintain his composure, and his entire face instantly contorted in agony!

"Ughh..."

He let out a bloodcurdling scream, his body convulsing violently, his limbs trembling uncontrollably.

After all, Kratos wasn't unleashing Common electricity; he was unleashing [God's Wrath], capable of damaging Grandmaster Rank opponents.

Both its power and intensity far surpass those of ordinary lightning.

A dozen seconds later, the deputy city lord's eyes rolled back, his body was charred black from the electric shock, and black smoke billowed from his head.

"Stop."

At Shen Xing's command, Kratos loosened his fist, and the deputy city lord on the ground stopped convulsing.

"Hmm..."

He opened his mouth wide, exhaled a thick cloud of black smoke, and lay sprawled on the ground like a dead dog.

"Will you tell me or not?" Shen Xing asked again.

However, the other person only glanced at him and then remained silent again.

"Very well, let's see how long you can keep up this stubbornness." Shen Xing's expression remained unchanged as he ordered, "Continue to shock him."

Kratos crouched down and gripped the chains again with both hands.

A terrifying dark purple electric current surged through his body, and the deputy city lord once again felt that agonizing pain as his blood vessels were being churned!

"Ughh..."

He writhed wildly on the ground, his limbs bent at bizarre angles.

After another ten seconds or so, until his skin had turned charred black, Shen Xing finally told Kratos to stop.

"I'll ask you one more time, will you answer or not?" He looked at the figure on the ground, his voice icy.

The deputy city lord of Black Hawk City weakly raised his head, glanced at him, and looked at him with a complicated expression.

Then, he lowered his head again.

Seeing this, Shen Xing's expression darkened further. "I must say, you're quite the tough nut to crack."

"But that's alright, we have plenty of time to wear each other down."

"Kratos, continue."

As soon as he finished speaking, the burly man in gray bent down again, preparing to grasp the chains.

At this moment, the deputy city lord of Black Hawk City turned his head and squeezed out a voice from his throat. "Go ahead and ask!"

"What?"

"What do you want me to say? Just ask!"

The deputy city lord shouted with all his might, his tone filled with intense resentment.

Shen Xing was stunned, a strange look appearing on his face.

Come to think of it, I was so focused on getting him to confess that I didn't even say what I wanted to confess.

To save face, this guy stubbornly refused to speak, and ended up getting two electric shocks for nothing.

Shen Xing looked at him again and said, "Tell me everything clearly, including the situation in Weideng Royal City and why you led your army to attack my territory."

Upon hearing this, the deputy city lord hesitated.

After a moment, he sighed, as if he had made up his mind.

Just as he was about to speak, Shen Xing suddenly interrupted, "Wait a minute."

"What is it now?" The deputy city lord of Black Hawk City asked, his eyes wide.

Shen Xing ignored him and instead looked at the old knight beside him. "Mr. Fordring, you are responsible for using the power of Holy Light to detect whether he is lying."

"Yes, my lord."

The old knight stepped forward, and Holy Light condensed between his hammer, enveloping the deputy city lord on the ground.

The other person paused slightly, glanced at the young man in the wheelchair, then at the old knight, a complex expression appearing in their eyes.

After a moment, he began to speak slowly.

He recounted in detail the conspiracy and ambitions of the Weideng Royal City, as well as the fact that he had sent people to secretly track Kyle and find the location of their territory.

When he finished speaking, everyone's faces showed a look of sudden realization.

"I see... Black Hawk City and Weideng Royal City have long been united in order to overthrow the rule of the Weinaer Kingdom."

Shen Xing nodded thoughtfully, his brows furrowing slightly. "It seems that Lord Haidesen's ambitions are even greater than I imagined."

Upon hearing this, Kyle, the beast tamer standing nearby, showed a look of Wrath on his face. "Damn it, you shameless scoundrel!"

"I trusted you so much, and you actually deceived me and even sent people to follow me!"

He was so angry that he trembled all over, wishing he could pick up his longsword and kill the deputy city lord on the ground.

However, the other party merely glanced at Kyle indifferently before looking away again.

To him, a Xiao Xiao Tier Three Boss One Star was utterly insignificant.

After his anger subsided, Kyle remembered the important matter and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Her Majesty the Princess?"

The deputy city lord of Black Hawk City was about to answer when he suddenly remembered something and replied, "Dead."

"Dead... dead?" Kyle asked incredulously.

"That's right." The deputy city lord nodded. "Lord Haidesen saw she was no longer useful, so he killed her."

Upon hearing this, Kyle stood frozen in place, as if struck by lightning.

Seeing his reaction, the deputy city lord's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.

At this moment, Old Fordring said in a deep voice, "My lord, the Holy Light detected fluctuations in his soul; this statement must be a lie."

Everyone present was stunned upon hearing this.

Shen Xing glanced at him with interest. "Still dare to lie, huh? Fine, keep the electricity going."

Kratos immediately carried out the order.

Upon seeing this, the deputy city lord of Black Hawk City's eyes widened in terror. "No! The princess isn't dead! She's imprisoned in the Weideng Royal City's jail... Ughh...

The terrifying electric current began to rage again, shocking him so badly that he convulsed and rolled on the ground.

It wasn't until more than ten seconds later that Shen Xing ordered Kratos to stop.

On the ground, the deputy city lord was surrounded by black smoke, and his aura had weakened considerably once again.

Shen Xing glanced at him and said calmly, "Just answer our questions. Don't try anything funny."

"Otherwise, I'll keep shocking you, understand?"

He paused, then asked, "Now tell me, what's the situation with the princess, and what are your plans for using her?"

The deputy city lord weakly raised his head and said in a barely audible voice, "She... is imprisoned in an underground dungeon... Haidesen wants to use her royal bloodline... for targeted research..."

"And... the Blood Origin Cult's Saintess too..."

Upon hearing the last sentence, Shen Xing's eyes widened slightly. "The Blood Origin Cult? They were captured too?"

"Hmm..." the deputy city lord said slowly, "They... were deceived by Haidesen... they were completely wiped out..."

"Only the Blood Origin Saintess is a special case... she's been imprisoned..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xing's expression turned strange again.

This religious group is really unlucky.

During the previous transaction with the Weideng Royal City, Shen Xing and his group intercepted the deal halfway, almost resulting in the complete annihilation of their army.

This time, they were tricked by Haidesen again.

And this Blood Origin Saintess, she's quite pitiful too.

Last time, he was severely injured by that knight commander and fled to Shen Xing's territory.
