h one is easy to get along with""Just as Mr. has said, the Qin Empire today is like a patient with an illness. Our neighbors have seen this and are taking advantage of it, bullying us. If we continue...Chapter 1069: Punishment

This single outburst highlights the deep bond between master and disciple.

The immense power of the bullets tore into the human body, one, two, three, almost everyone was hit by more than ten shots in the shortest time.

This close, there's no way I'm getting out alive.

The six or seven dead men lay on the ground, some were lucky enough to have their vital points struck and died instantly.

Those a little less fortunate, still with a flicker of awareness, winced in pain, unable to even scream. They could only helplessly watch as their lifeblood ebbed away with every gush.

And Duan Jinjiang, he was only shot twice in the legs, right in the knees.

It wasn't that he was lucky, but the soldier who fired intentionally didn't aim for Duan Jinchang's vital points.

With a loud thud, Duan Jinjiang crashed to the ground, which was soaked with both rain and blood.

At this time, Long Huaiyu, who had just run out two steps, slowly retreated back.

A black gun barrel was trained on his forehead, while four or five muskets were aimed at every vital part of his body.

Seeing how Duan Jinchang and those assassins met their end, Long Huaiyu knew he couldn't withstand a single shot.

Long Huaiyu took a step back and stepped on Duan Jinjiang's calf with his foot, causing Duan Jinjiang to cry out in pain. At the same time, Long Huaiyu also fell onto Duan Jinjiang's side.

This master and apprentice pair, you could say they just sort of ended up together.

Li Chen walked up then, looking at Duan Jinjiang whose face was flushed red, and said: "I told you, conspiracy can't defeat power. Why do you still insist on trying it desperately"

Duan Jinjiang gritted his teeth and roared, "Li Chen, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"

“You, as a human, can't do anything to me, let alone when you are dead. Many have said similar things. If being a ghost truly worked, wouldn't your son have come to seek revenge long ago”

Li Chen sneered: "But what now Bring your son out to show this palace"

Li Chen's words were the height of insult.

Duan Jinjiang clenched his fists tightly, because of the pain, but more so because of the humiliation.

Li Chen's face turned cold as he said, "This palace doesn't have much patience. Are you going to speak about Duke Wen's matter or not"

Du Jianjiang's face darkened with malice, and he sneered, "Go ahead and use whatever tricks you have. I've long since sworn to be your enemy, and you expect me to help you"

"That's good."

Li Chen nodded in agreement.

"Drag him down, starting from his toes and fingers, severing one finger with every breath. Then, chop him into inch-by-inch pieces. Within fifty breaths, if he is dead, the executioner shall take his place and suffer the remaining punishments."

As soon as those words were uttered, Duan Jinjiang and Long Huaiyu's faces turned pale with alarm.

Chen Tong did not hesitate, immediately ordering someone to bring Duan Jinjiang up for execution.

Du Jintang struggled frantically, roaring, "Li Chen, if you have the guts, just kill this old man with one blow! What kind of skill is this Don't you fear retribution from heaven!"

Li Chen remained expressionless and ignored him.

Du Jianjiang tried to speak, but was silenced by the executioner who stepped forward.

This man was clearly a ruthless character. He dragged Duan Jinjiang aside like a dead dog, expressionless. Then he pressed down on Duan Jinjiang's palm, and a knife appeared in his hand at some point. With a single swing of the blade, he slashed down.

The whole process was clean and efficient, not dragging on at all, which made one wonder if the person was a professional.

Even Li Chen took another look.

"Your Highness, he is the most skilled torturer under my command. We call him Master within our ranks. There's no torture he can't inflict. Your Highness wants to have that old dog Duan Jiang die in fifty breaths, he will definitely ensure Duan Jiang doesn't die until the forty-ninth breath."Chapter 587: Picking a Fight
