Sister, I don't want to be a furnace anymore. I'm about to become an immortal.

Chapter 40: Desperate Situation

In the cell, Xiao Yichen's feet were tied with iron chains and he was lying on the ground, squirming constantly. The ground was covered with blood. At this moment, all his toenails had been pulled out, and most of his teeth had been broken under Liu Sha's instructions. A large piece of skin was torn off from Xiao Yichen's chest, and his wrists and ankles were crushed again. Blood was flowing all over his body.

The guard poured kerosene on him while observing Liu Sha's expression. He was now a little afraid of the descendant of the great elder. He didn't expect the other party to be so cruel. Judging from his expression, he seemed to be still unsatisfied.

After Xiao Yichen's whole body was covered with kerosene, Liu Sha took the flame from the guard and slowly walked towards Xiao Yichen on the ground. Just when the flame was about to touch his body, he heard a loud explosion from the cell next door.

"That's enough, Lingjian Sect." The one who spoke was Elder Xuanqing. He really couldn't stand the other party's behavior. Hearing this, Liu Sha slowly turned his head and stared at the other party with a puzzled look on his face, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly." Liu Sa asked stupidly.

"I say, enough...you..." But before he could finish his words, Liu Sa trembled violently as if frightened, and the flame in his hand fell directly on Xiao Yichen. Then Liu Sa hurriedly stepped back, patting his chest and gasping, "Oh, you scared me and I couldn't hold the things in my hands firmly." Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he did it on purpose, but what could they do.

The moment the flame touched Xiao Yichen's body, the kerosene on his body instantly burned. In a moment, Xiao Yichen was covered in flames. He curled up on the ground, rolling his body continuously to try to put out the fire, but the room was full of kerosene. No matter how he moved, he could not put out the flames on his body.

The sound of sizzling and his muffled groans rang out in the cell. He had given up struggling at this moment, curled up into a ball, and closed his eyes and mouth. Apart from a muffled groan when he really couldn't bear it anymore, he didn't scream. But everyone knew what kind of torture he was going through at this moment.

"Haha, you're still pretty stubborn. Old Wang, do you have any way to make this fire bigger? I really don't believe he can endure it." Liu Sa asked the man in black beside him. Upon hearing this, a trace of disgust flashed in the man's eyes, but he quickly recovered and said respectfully, "Young Master, I know a place with a pool of water there, but the water there is very corrosive. Even a cultivator in the Qi Training Realm would not survive there for more than an hour."

"Do you have any humanity left?" A female disciple in the next cell shouted with a trembling voice. She looked at Xiao Yichen who was still burning on the ground, and tears had already covered her cheeks.

However, Liu Sha didn't take her words seriously. Instead, after seeing her face, he showed a lewd smile at the corner of his mouth: "Oh, when did we capture this little beauty? I didn't notice it just now."

"You..." The female disciple was obviously frightened by his gangster-like behavior. She wanted to say something else, but was stopped by the others around her. Even Elder Xuanqing yelled at her, "Go back and stop causing trouble."

Seeing them fighting among themselves, Liu Sha also had a playful look on his face, but his attention was soon attracted by Xiao Yichen on the ground. He suddenly struggled on the ground and ran towards Liu Sha. If he hadn't been trapped by the iron chain on his feet, he would have been caught by him.

"Is that all you can do? I...thought you were so powerful? It seems...now that your life force has been crippled, your heart has become a lot softer, almost like those little girls." Xiao Yichen uttered these provocative words incoherently.

As expected, Liu Sha was once again exposed when he heard Xiao Yichen mocking him for losing his life force. He kicked Xiao Yichen in the chest, knocking him back to the ground. Then he yelled at the man in black beside him: "Put out the fire on him. Go to the place you mentioned just now. I want him to die." After that, he stared at Xiao Yichen in the fire with vicious eyes, then turned and walked out of the cell.

The man in black slowly walked into the cell, slapped Xiao Yichen hard with his palm, and a stream of spiritual energy hit Xiao Yichen. In an instant, the flames on his body were extinguished. Then the man in black walked up to him, opened the handcuffs on his feet, grabbed Xiao Yichen's neck, and pulled him out of the cell and walked outside.

When everyone left, only the people from Qingfeng Pavilion were left in the cell. They still looked outside with serious expressions, and the female disciple finally couldn't help crying loudly.

Elder Xuanqing slowly walked over to her side and softly comforted her, "Don't be sad, everything is according to his plan. Now we just have to wait for him to find an opportunity to tear up the sound transmission talisman. Then the sect will immediately send someone to rescue us, and he will be saved too."

Elder Xuanqing looked at the cage opposite with an expression of pity. The blood and burnt flesh on the ground told him what Xiao Yichen had just experienced.

Elder Xuanqing slowly closed his eyes and frowned. The reason why he suddenly spoke up to stop Liu Sha and the other two from lighting the fire was because he saw the look Xiao Yichen gave him. After attracting their attention, Xiao Yichen had the opportunity to put the sound transmission talisman into his mouth before the fire was ignited to avoid being burned by the fire. This was also the reason why he had endured the pain and did not speak.

"Boy, as long as you can survive this time, I will definitely accept you as my personal disciple."

Outside the dungeon, the men in black carried Xiao Yichen's body and walked slowly towards the sect gate, while Liu Sha followed slowly from behind, with a look of madness in his eyes. He imagined in his mind that Xiao Yichen would kowtow and beg for mercy in front of the pool of water that could corrode the body of a Qi training realm expert.

He looked at Xiao Yichen who was seriously injured. At this moment, he kept grinding his teeth and staring at him fiercely. Seeing the hatred in his eyes, Liu Sha's mouth corners unconsciously rose slowly. Little did he know that at this moment, the rumor talisman in Xiao Yichen's mouth had been ground into pieces by his teeth, and the news had already spread to Qingfeng Pavilion.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the pool mentioned earlier. As soon as they stepped into the place, the light dimmed. The surrounding rocks were rugged and of various shapes, like the claws of hell, which made them feel uncomfortable.

A pool of strange water lay there quietly, showing a turbid dark green color, with disgusting bubbles constantly appearing on the surface, as if some monster was breathing underwater, emitting a pungent smell. The land around the pool had long been corroded and riddled with holes, and the bumpy ground looked like it had been gnawed by the devil.

The man in black threw Xiao Yichen on his back aside and quietly waited for Liu Sa's instructions. Liu Sa walked over to Xiao Yichen on the ground and slowly squatted down. His face still had that sick expression. He smiled at him and said, "Little beast, didn't you just say that I was as soft-hearted as a girl? Otherwise, I'll be kind again. If you kowtow to me and admit your fault now, I won't bother to torture you. How about giving you a quick death and leaving your body intact?"

Xiao Yichen slowly propped himself up, and then the energy in his body spread throughout his body. He suddenly jumped up and hugged Liu Sha in front of him. The man in black beside him was frightened and trembled all over.

He had been hiding his strength before because he was afraid that the other party would become suspicious. Now the news has spread, and the man in black is some distance away from him. If he doesn't take action now, when will he take action?

"You little beast, let the young master go." The man in black shouted loudly. He was sent by Liu Yang to protect Liu Sa's safety. If anything happened to Liu Sa, he would be dragged to be buried with him. Naturally, he was very panicked at the moment.

"What qualifications do you have to make conditions with me? Get out of here right now, or I will kill him immediately." Xiao Yichen dragged his weak body to hug Liu Sha, staring at the man in black in front of him. His current physical condition was really not good. If it weren't for the abundant energy in his body, he would probably not be able to move at all.

"Get out of here right now, you little dog slave, or I'll drag your dog master over and jump in." He slowly backed away from the pool of water. Just as he was about to step in, the man in black shouted, "Okay, okay, don't back away any further. I'm leaving right now."

Seeing the other party compromise, Xiao Yichen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The pool of water gave him a feeling of danger. He didn't want to die, so he could only use this way of mutual destruction to force the other party to leave. What he had to do now was to delay time until the support from Qingfeng Pavilion found him.

The man in black slowly retreated. Just when Xiao Yichen thought everything was going well, Liu Sha, whom he was holding, suddenly laughed out loud: "Haha, Mr. Wang, you are really careless. If my father knew about this, I'm afraid you would end up in trouble."

Seeing that the other party still had the mind to say this, Xiao Yichen felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart. Before he could continue to retreat, a spiritual barrier suddenly emerged from Liu Sha's body and pushed his body away. Fortunately, the force was strong enough to push him directly to the other side of the pool.

He stood up and wanted to escape, but the man in black was faster. The moment he was knocked away, he had already run towards him and stepped on him to the ground. No matter how he struggled, it was useless.

"It's over." This was Xiao Yichen's only thought at the moment. He never thought that such a strong aura would suddenly surge out of Liu Sha's body.

Liu Sha patted his soiled clothes, walked slowly up to him and said, "Thanks to your foresight, you asked my father for a piece of protective jade. I said you wouldn't be the kind of person who can be bullied. How come you suddenly became so obedient? It turns out you were waiting for me here? But I'm a little curious. How come you still have so much strength when you're injured like this?" Liu Sha asked slowly, patting his face repeatedly.

Seeing that Xiao Yichen ignored him, he lost interest and waved at the man in black. Then Xiao Yichen was kicked into the dark green pool water.
