Mo Bai pulled out the knife and was about to reach out to take off Jiang Zhe's clothes when...

Chen Nan stopped him again: "Don't use your hands, keep repeating."

repeat?

This time, Mo Bai did not hesitate at all, and once again covered the knife with blood.

He stabbed into Jiang Zhe's chest and pulled out.

Chen Nan knew that if Jiang Zhe could actually survive after this soil, mixed with the blood of tens of thousands of people, flowed into his body, it would be a miracle.

Moreover, this is just an appetizer; the real main event is yet to come.

Mo Bai was very strong this time, and he understood very well that Jiang Zhe would never see the sun rise tomorrow.

Therefore, they show absolutely no mercy when they strike.

The harder he tried, the louder Jiang Zhe's wails became, accompanied by angry curses.

"Chen Nan, you bastard, you promised me, and now you're pulling this stunt?"

"No wonder His Majesty stripped you of your title; you are a demon, a demon!"

"Mo Bai, hurry up."

Jiang Zhe's endless stream of insults made Chen Nan's face turn ugly.

He couldn't help but urge Mo Bai on.

Fifteen minutes later, Mo Bai's hands were covered in blood.

In contrast, Jiang Zhe was tilting his head and breathing with difficulty.

His entire body was thus exposed to everyone's view.

After waiting for a long time, Mo Bai still did not make a move.

He twisted his head and checked his own condition.

He actually laughed: "Chen Nan, I...I did it, shouldn't you...you let me go?"

This is probably the calmest thing Jiang Zhe has said in recent times.

These words not only made Chen Nan raise an eyebrow, but even Lin Qiao, who was standing next to him, gaped: "You, you, you're still alive?"

Jiang Zhe snorted: "Go to hell, I won't die even if your whole family is wiped out."

"Besides, I survived, and according to our bet, Chen Nan should let me go."

Chen Nan looked Lin Qiao up and down as she opened her eyes, and asked curiously, "What? You also want to join this challenge?"

Faced with this question, Lin Qiao shook her head frantically.

He wasn't stupid; he knew that the two of them were doomed to die tonight.

Poor Jiang Zhe, he really thought he had a chance to survive.

Seeing Lin Qiao shake his head, Chen Nan sighed, "What a pity, we can't have a real speed race."

He turned to Jiang Zhe with a smile and congratulated him, saying, "Congratulations, Commander Jiang, you have passed the first challenge."

The first one?

Even if Jiang Zhe wasn't very bright, he knew that tonight's challenge probably wouldn't be so easy to overcome.

He lowered his head resignedly, but deep down, a glimmer of hope still lingered in his heart.

"Mo Bai?" Chen Nan called out.

Completely numb, Mo Bai turned around: "Commander Chen."

"Would you be subjected to the death by a thousand cuts?"

"Lingchi? What's that?"

Mo Bai searched his memory and found that he had never heard of the term "lingchi" before.

Chen Nan explained, "Next, each cut will remove a piece of flesh from General Jiang's body, for a total of three thousand six hundred cuts."

"The requirement is that General Jiang must not die after the surgery is completed,"

"can you do it?"

Three thousand six hundred dollars?

Upon hearing this number, everyone gasped.

Jiang Zhe, in particular, retorted frantically, "Chen Nan, you can't do this! I've already passed the challenge, you should let me go."

The poor guy still naively thought he could really survive the night.

Chen Nan didn't even look at him, only staring at Mo Bai: "Can you do it?"

Suddenly, perhaps from his previous actions, Mo Bai felt nauseous.

He ran straight to the corner and started vomiting profusely.

A moment later, he returned to Chen Nan and nodded earnestly: "Commander Chen, I can do it!"

"In that case, let's begin!"

At a command, Mo Bai approached Jiang Zhe again.

He walked exceptionally slowly over the short distance of just a few steps.

Finally, she met Jiang Zhe's helpless eyes.

Neither of them spoke.

With a single strike from Mo Bai.

A piece of flesh fell from Jiang Zhe's arm, landing on the ground and splattering blood.

Forcibly cutting flesh from your body is a pain ten thousand times more intense than before.

Strangely, no one objected to Chen Nan's decision.

Everyone was watching Jiang Zhe as he was being punished.

With another cut, the second piece of flesh fell off his forearm.

Jiang Zhe finally realized what was happening and burst into curses: "Chen Nan, you devil! Your fate won't be much better than mine. You will die a terrible death, and His Majesty will avenge me!"

With the tenth stab, Jiang Zhe continued his unrestrained cursing.

After a hundred cuts, Jiang Zhe stopped his cursing.

Most of the soldiers around him closed their eyes.

With each of the three hundred cuts, Jiang Zhe could only gasp for breath.

All the soldiers closed their eyes, and Lin Qiao, who was watching from the side, smelled a strong odor of urine coming from between his legs.

After the thousandth cut, Jiang Zhe was almost lifeless.

Hongming and Hongyao had already disappeared from behind.

After the two thousand cuts, Jiang Zhe stopped breathing completely, and there wasn't a single intact part of his body.

As his breath faded, Chen Nan sighed, "Alas, he still couldn't pull through."

He then turned his gaze to Lin Qiao beside him and asked, "Do you want to join my challenge too?"

"No, no, don't, don't come any closer, stay away from me..."

Lin Qiao struggled with his limbs, trying to retreat, but there was only the city wall behind him, and he had nowhere to retreat.

Chen Nan walked forward step by step, keeping a body length between them.

Suddenly, Chen Nan shouted, "I'm asking you, do you also want to join our challenge?"

"No, no! Stay away from me, don't come any closer."

Lin Qiao, who was on the verge of collapse, felt a pungent smell coming from his crotch again.

As he spoke, he leaned against the city wall and collapsed.

Faced with this situation, Chen Nan remained unmoved and instead made a promise: "I promise you, I won't deal with you the way Jiang Zhe did."

"Stop talking, stop talking, Commander Chen, just give me a quick death."

Lin Qiao's eyes were tightly closed, two lines of bloody tears streamed from the corners of her eyes, and snot dripped from her nostrils.

A drool was dripping from the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind: "Commander Chen, why don't we just kill him?"

It was Hongyao who spoke, having returned after leaving.

Chen Nan didn't turn around, and answered directly: "I think the more than 200,000 people in Suzhou also begged those two for mercy in the same way, right?"

Having said that, Hongyao sighed and watched quietly from behind.

There was nothing he could do; he really didn't want to come.

However, Hongming demanded that he watch the entire punishment process.

Chen Nan calmly looked at Lin Qiao at his feet and spoke again: "Lin Qiao, do you want to join this challenge?"

"No, I can't possibly join!!!"

Lin Qiao used all her strength to utter the answer.

Suddenly, Chen Nan chuckled and asked, "Mo Bai, did you hear what General Lin said just now?"

Mo Bai was taken aback at first, but quickly understood Chen Nan's thoughts.

"Commander Chen, General Lin says he wants to join our challenge!"

Hearing this, Lin Qiao could no longer bear it. She opened her eyes and said resignedly, "Chen Nan, you really are a devil."

"I hope you can keep your word."

Chen Nan smiled slightly: "Of course!"

"Someone, bring the oil!"

Under Chen Nan's orders, a large barrel of oil was moved to the city wall.

Looking at the barrel of oil, Lin Qiao felt inexplicably terrified and curled up in fear.

"Mo Bai, strip him naked with your hands."

Hearing this, Mo Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

The previous torture of Jiang Zhe had already made him vomit up everything he had eaten yesterday.

He began to feel fortunate that Chen Nan didn't know much about the punishments.

He soon realized he was wrong, and very wrong.

Just after Mo Bai stripped Lin Qiao completely naked.

Chen Nan spoke again: "Raise the Great Qian Army Flag!"

After the Great Qian Army flag was erected on the city wall, Chen Nan pointed at Lin Qiao and said, "Tie General Lin and the army flag together, tie them tightly!"

In an instant, Lin Qiao and the military flag became closely united.

Seeing this, Chen Nan finally smiled.

Lin Qiao's heart trembled the moment he saw Chen Nan's smile.

Chen Nan then said, "Mo Bai, make a small incision in General Lin's head and pour the oil in!"

!!!

Mo Bai was stunned; he could even guess what the next step would be.
