Chapter 761 - 716: Taking Lu Yao’s Life
Chapter 761: Chapter 716: Taking Lu Yao’s Life
Qianye Shun thought of himself as exceptionally powerful.
In his view, he was the Law Enforcement Envoy of the Qianye Sect on Yellow Dragon Continent.
Within the sect, he was in charge of extorting confessions and administering punishment.
Such power made him a top figure even on Yellow Dragon Continent.
In this Cangye Small Country, he had absolutely no worries.
Not to mention a young man like Shen Han, even the Sect Leader from surrounding sects had to take this Heart-piercing Pill.
A shadow flickered and descended.
Everyone expected Shen Han to have been captured by Qianye Shun.
Since he refused to take the Heart-piercing Pill, he’d surely be forced to swallow it by violence.
However, when everyone cast their eyes forward, they discovered the reality was vastly different from their expectations.
At this moment, Qianye Shun was actually being held by the scruff of his neck by Shen Han.
Just like lifting a cat, he was lifted into the air.
This so-called god-like powerful expert had not a trace of his former demeanor.
His body seemed petrified, with only his eyeballs capable of moving, while the rest were completely immobilized.
In Qianye Shun’s eyes, disbelief also lingered.
He, Qianye Shun, was a top strongman of the Qianye Sect.
Whenever someone from the Qianye Sect made a mistake, as the Law Enforcement Envoy, he would step forward to deliver punishment.
In the Qianye Sect, not many could escape from under his hands.
But now, not only did Shen Han escape, he turned the tables and captured him...
"You spoke so highly of this Pill; now, why don’t you try it out yourself."
As he spoke, Shen Han stuffed the Pill into Qianye Shun’s mouth.
Gripping his throat, he forced him to swallow it.
The sudden turn of events had left everyone present dumbfounded.
Originally seated on the stone chair as a spectator, Lu Yao unconsciously stood up.
Her demeanor was nowhere near as casual and relaxed as before.
Before this scene unfolded, Lu Yao assumed Shen Han at most slightly outmatched Mo Wanshui.
At the most, he was just on par with her strength, and she thought she’d handle Shen Han easily with those tools at her disposal.
But now, it was Qianye Shun who took action, Qianye Sect’s Law Enforcement Envoy, a Melting Furnace Realm expert!
Such a strongman had no room for retaliation now.
At this moment, the Heart-piercing Pill had already been swallowed by Qianye Shun.
Shen Han tossed him to the ground, his casual manner making it unbelievable that he was tossing a strongman from the Qianye Sect.
In just a short moment, the Pill’s effects began to manifest.
The previously dignified Qianye Shun began incessantly scratching his body.
The itch from inside, scratching from the outside was of no use.
But that was all he could do now, scratch himself incessantly.
The surrounding onlookers were even more stunned in place.
The Sovereign of Cangye, the Cangye National Preceptor, and that mysterious Tributor, too.
Their bodies seemed frozen, barely able to move.
Their faces turned pale beyond measure, devoid of any blood.
They had realized they had chosen the wrong side.
Previously, they simply presumed Lu Yao was the Sect Leader’s wife of Qianye Sect.
She could deal with whoever she wanted.
Even though Shen Han had just performed a great service for Cangye Country, being its great benefactor.
Still, they chose to stand against Shen Han.
Not a moment of hesitation, not a thought of Shen Han’s merit crossed their minds.
Off to the side, even Prince Cheng was in no better state, equally stupefied.
Seeing Lu Yao already standing up from the stone chair, Shen Han instead walked forward and sat on the stone chair.
Looking at the disfigured Qianye Shun covered in scratches, a hint of disappointment surfaced on his face.
"Is he considered a top strongman in this world?"
Shen Han’s gaze turned to the others, inquiring.
The crowd, still aghast, knew not how to respond immediately.
By the time Lu Yao collected herself, she had no mind to answer Shen Han’s question.
Now there was only one thing on her mind: escape!
But as she attempted to move, she found herself unable to budge no matter what.
The terror on her face reached its peak.
What terrified those present even more was the howling in pain, bleeding from incessant scratching, Qianye Shun.
The dignified Law Enforcement Envoy of the Qianye Sect, reduced to such a state.
"Why is no one speaking? Does no one like to speak?"
Shen Han asked once more.
Hearing Shen Han’s voice sent another shiver through the crowd.
They wanted to open their mouths but found themselves unable to utter a word.
Another silence, Lu Yao finally spoke.
"My husband is the Sect Leader of Qianye Sect, and my father is an Elder of Lu Clan. If you..."
Before Lu Yao could finish her sentence, Shen Han interrupted her.
"I asked you if this elder called Qianye Shun is a top strongman in this world.
I didn’t ask about anything else; don’t answer irrelevantly."
Shen Han’s tone remained calm, but the calmer it was, the more fear it instilled in them.
Observing Shen Han, it was evident he wasn’t the least afraid of Qianye Sect.
Qianye Shun’s earlier defeat revealed Shen Han’s true strength.
"Forget it, I suppose I won’t get anything meaningful from asking."
With a wave of his hand, the longsword held by the guard not far off flew into Shen Han’s hand.
"Having thought of so many vicious ways to torture me, as reciprocation, I should return the favor, don’t you think?
Let’s start by having you take a Heart-piercing Pill too.
Have the person behind fetch one from him, since this elder claimed proficiency in extorting confessions, he should be carrying more than one pill."
