Chapter 408: Chapter 408: Inhuman Torture
Soon, Jiang Xiaobai had finished refining the pill.

He swore it was the most cruel pill he had ever made, even more ruthless than the one he made before that caused intense diarrhea.

Standing up, a cruel smile spread across Jiang Xiaobai’s face as he stepped towards Gu Heng.

Seeing him like this, everyone felt a chill creep up their spines, their gazes towards Gu Heng filled with pity.

Gu Heng also realized something was wrong, he struggled desperately as he watched Jiang Xiaobai approach, but if struggling could help, would anyone be so relaxed?

Just as he was about to shove the pill into Gu Heng’s mouth, Gu Heng hastily clenched his teeth shut.

He knew clearly in his heart that no matter what the function of this pill was, he couldn’t swallow it. Jiang Xiaobai’s dirty tricks, one after the other, was not something he could withstand.

Seeing this, Ao Cheng laughed coldly, started tickling him again, and eventually, Gu Heng couldn’t help but open his mouth to laugh. With quick reflexes, Jiang Xiaobai swiftly stuffed the pill into his mouth.

Having swallowed the pill, Gu Heng desperately tried to prevent the medicine from taking effect, but it was not something he could control.

But after waiting a while, Gu Heng didn’t feel anything wrong and began looking at Jiang Xiaobai with a mocking and contemptuous look.

“Jiang Xiaobai, what the hell did you feed him?” Ao Cheng asked curiously.

Jiang Xiaobai smirked sadistically, “Just a little trinket, it works slowly, eventually enhancing this guy’s senses by dozens of times.”

“The original pill was meant to improve one’s spiritual perception, very beneficial for enlightenment, but I made a small modification, it can make his senses extremely sharp.”

“For example… hearing.”

Having said that, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly had two long swords in his hands. He fiercely clashed the two swords together near Gu Heng’s ears.

Clang!

The sound of metal clashing didn’t seem problematic to the onlookers, but to Gu Heng, who was so close, it felt as if his head had exploded!

His hearing had been amplified at least tenfold. The sudden loud noise had numbed his entire body.

“Look at him, he must be stunned. Ao Cheng, you can continue tickling him, he absolutely won’t be able to withstand it. This feeling is worse than death.”

Jiang Xiaobai joked.

Ao Cheng, somewhat skeptical, took a dogtail grass and began to tickle him. The result was astonishing.

Ao Cheng had barely started when Gu Heng began laughing maniacally. His own laughter almost killed him, shocking everyone present.

Seeing this, Ao Cheng had an idea. If the pill enhanced senses by dozens of times, what about pain?

Thinking of this, Ao Cheng took out a dagger and gently pricked Gu Heng’s arm. It was barely a scratch, but multiplied by dozens of times, it was beyond unbearable.

“Aaaaah!”

A horrific scream rang out in the dense forest, startling a flock of birds.

And just like before, his shouted so loud that Gu Heng almost killed himself.

For an instant, Gu Heng could only endure the agony that coursed through his body. His face turned beet red and his veins bulged.

Seeing this, Ao Cheng was intrigued, “They say the fingers are connected to the heart, why not chop off one of his fingers and see.”

Shortly after having this thought, Ao Cheng had already sliced off one of Gu Heng’s fingers with his dagger.

The excruciating pain, magnified dozens of times, was so intense that Gu Heng almost passed out. But due to overly amplified senses, he couldn’t pass out.

He could only endure the sharp pain and didn’t dare to make a sound.

Such agony is beyond the comprehension of an ordinary person. One could only truly understand if they experienced it firsthand.

After enduring just a few moments of the torture, Gu Heng was reduced to a pathetic mess. He, who had once vowed never to utter a word, was now begging Ao Cheng for mercy with his eyes.

“Speak up, and I’ll give you a quick death.”

Ao Cheng sneered, “What is the Gu clan planning to do? How much do you know about the Gu Clan’s spirit stone mine, and everything else you know, speak up. Otherwise…”

As Ao Cheng spoke, his dagger was already hovering over another of Gu Heng’s fingers: “The fingers are connected to the heart, old man. You have ten fingers and ten toes. If I cut them all off, I’m sure it’ll feel great, right?”

Gu Heng looked horrified. He wanted to shout and curse Ao Cheng, but the problem was he didn’t dare speak.

If he did, he could kill himself with his own voice.

On top of that, all conversation within Gu Heng’s enhanced senses was comparable to standing next to a giant mountain. Every word was deafening.

Not only that, he could clearly perceive the flow of his own blood and his breathing.

When the sensation of blood flow was amplified, Gu Heng could only feel like millions of ants were crawling through thousands of his blood vessels, a feeling that truly made life worse than death.

He even stopped breathing.

Each breath brought sensations worse than death!

Even Zhuang Huanling and Mo Yu, who were watching from the side, couldn’t help but feel a chill run down their spines at Jiang Xiaobai’s actions.

Seeing that Gu Heng had fallen silent, Ao Cheng narrowed his eyes, about to cut another finger when Jiang Xiaobai stopped him.

“Stop, if he continues like this, he’ll die in no time. The best effect of this method is not to torture him, but to leave him alone. Everything around him, even his breath, his blood flow, etc, can drive him mad.”

“Why bother with physical torture? Torture him mentally, that’s the most effective.”

Jiang Xiaobai commented lightly.

Everyone around them looked terrified. Zhuang Huanling gave Jiang Xiaobai a look as if he were some kind of maniac, and they unconsciously took a few steps back, indicating they did not want to associate with Jiang Xiaobai.

But, Jiang Xiaobai’s method was indeed very effective. After less than ten minutes of letting Gu Heng lie quietly, he began to cry out softly.

The voice was very low, extremely weak, he didn’t dare to shout loudly. At this point, Gu Heng’s mental state was almost on the verge of collapse.

“Let… let me go, I… I’ll tell you everything…”

“Just… Give me a quick death…”

Upon hearing this, the three of them gave Jiang Xiaobai a thumbs up, and Jiang Xiaobai then fed Gu Heng the antidote.

Gu Heng was like a drowned man saved from the water. Having completely lost his sanity, he shared all the information he knew with Jiang Xiaobai and the others.

When they heard what he had to say, their faces turned pale with shock.

Jiang Xiaobai had only one thought in his mind.

Run!
