57 - Cruelty of Liu Chen

Liu Chen had currently arrived in front of the palace gate. There, there were many soldiers standing guard.

"I want to meet Princess Jia Li" Liu Chen said.

"Who are you? What's the matter with the princess?" said firmly one of the guards while pointing his sword right in front of Liu Chen's neck.

"I have business with the Princess. You don't need to know what I have to do with him. Now tell the princess that Chen came to see her" Liu Chen said.

The two guards closest to Liu Chen looked at each other. They looked back at Liu Chen. "We can't let you in right away. I'll ask the princess for permission first"

"All right, but not for long"

A guard directly went inside to tell about Liu Chen and Han Liangyi.

While Liu Chen and Han Liangyi were held in front of the gate. Even many warriors were aiming their weapons right at the two young men's necks.

"Why did you take up your weapons? We have absolutely no evil intentions" Han Liangyi said.

"You should both be quiet and wait for news from our friend who met the princess" said one of the guards.

Han Liangyi clucked in annoyance.

Liu Chen muttered inwardly, "The guarding in the palace seemed to be tightened after the empress' death. Would it be fine, if I asked about the death of the empress to Jia Li right now? Arkh, it's up to me not to care. All I want now is to meet Jia Li and ask her a few things"

After waiting for quite a while, the guard who had entered the palace had finally come out. "You two better leave now. The princess is not being disturbed by anyone"

"Why is that? I've come a long way to see him" Liu Chen said.

"If you still don't want to leave, then we'll drive you out rudely", after the soldier said, all the weapons went straight to Liu Chen and Han Liangyi.

"Tck, all right I'm going. But tell Jia Li to meet me later tonight at the white rose restaurant", Liu Chen just left Hn Liangyi.

"Hey, don't leave me!", Han Liangyi caught up with Liu Chen.

"Heh, he just wants to talk. Don't mind his words. We don't have to say anything to the princess" said one soldier after Liu Chen and Han Liangyi had gone far away.

The other soldier nodded at the soldier's words.

Meanwhile, Liu Chen and Han Liangyi went to an inn and booked a room. To be exact, it was Liu Chen who booked a room for him himself.

When Liu Chen was right in front of the door of the canal, he turned his body and looked at Han Liangyi who just kept following him. "Why do you keep following me?"

"So you don't go far from me. I will watch over you" Han Liangyi said with narrowed eyes.

Liu Chen raised next to his brows, "You are so strange. What happens when I am away from you? Are you lonely, hm?"

Han Liangyi snorted, "Huh, many people want to meet me, you know! So there's no way I'm lonely"

"Then you just go with the person who wants to meet you" Liu Chen opened the door and went inside.

"I'll come in"

"No! You book the inn yourself. I was not accepting anyone else", Liu Chen immediately closed the door and let Han Lingyi stand in front of the room.

Han Liangyi directly banged on the door, "Hey, I want to enter. Don't close the door!" yelled Han Liangyi.

However, there was no reply at all from inside the room. Some people glanced at the noisy Han Liangyi. They became somewhat distracted by the noise of the young man.

"Hey, you. Shut up, don't be noisy. You're disturbing" said a man.

Han Liangyi stopped banging on the door. He looked at a man, "I'm not bothering you at all. If you feel like I'm bothering you, it's better if you just leave here" Han Liangyi said tightly.

"You are very brave with me" said the man.

"Yes, why? I'm not scared of you at all"

The man and Han Liangyi stared at each other intently.

Soon the waiter who happened to be there broke up these two men. He had enough trouble divorcing the two so as not to fight.

"Make sure you don't see me anymore. Because if you don't, then you'll regret it" said the man. He simply left the servant and Han Liangyi.

"Cih, I want to just go out", Han Liangyi went out of the inn.

The waiter there sighed looking at the two people. Sometimes there are always people in the inn.

When he was outside, Han Liangyi saw that the window where Liu Chen's room was open. "Hehe, I can get in through that window"

He jumped up high into the window and went inside. But there was no one there. "Eh? Why isn't he here?" muttered Han Liangyi.

Meanwhile, somewhere else. In Yang Jia Li's room. A shadow had suddenly turned into a human right in front of Yang Jia Li.

Yang Jia Li was surprised. He put on a cautious stance with a dagger in his hand, worried that the shadow before him was the enemy.

"Well, calm down, princess"

Yang Jia Li was surprised by the person before him at this moment. "Why are you here?", he began to keep back his dagger.

"Color you won't see me. So I had to do this in order to meet you", he is Liu Chen. After he entered the room, he immediately used the 2nd stage shadow step that could make him turn into a shadow.

"Why do you want to see me?" yang Jia Li.

Liu Chen looked at the woman seriously. He took out a piece of paper from within his spatial ring. He directly showed the paper to Yang Jia Li, "Why did you let this poster just spread? You want to get Xian in trouble?"

"I don't care if he gets into trouble or not. What is clear is that I just want him to be in front of me now and then I will torture him first before killing him" Yang Jia Li said coldly looking into Liu Chen's eyes.

"Are you sure the person who killed the empress was Xian? I don't think it's possible", Liu Chen shook his head.

"You trust that guy too much. Obviously clearly, I heard it myself from him that he was the one who killed my mother", Yang Jia Li stared intently at Liu Chen.

"What's the reason he's doing this?"

"He said revenge. I don't understand her words at all. But to be sure, I wanted to immediately catch him and torture him before I killed him. You better help me catch him quickly"

"All right"

Yang Jia Li smiled faintly, "If you've found her, then bring her to me"

Liu Chen said nothing. He turned into a shadow and left. Yang Jia Li was surprised to see the moves Liu Chen used. Because this was the first time for Yang Jia Li to see that stance.

After meeting Yang Jia Li, Liu Chen appeared in a small alley and had already turned back into a human. "It seems like no soldier was aware of me in the palace" he murmured.

He also planned to get out of the small alley. But his hearing immediately caught a sound.

Liu Chen went straight to the origin of the sound being. He could also see a small child being beaten by two grown men. "Hey, stop"

The two grown men stopped their activities and turned their heads towards Liu Chen. "Heh, boy you better get out of here. If not then you will regret it" he said arrogantly.

Liu Chen raised his eyebrows next to his. He smiled faintly, "It looks like I'm getting a toy. I also have some free time now. Ah, that's right" he murmured.

"Why are you smiling like that? Are you impatient with your death?" said a man.

"Heh, not my death. But your death", Liu Chen disappeared from there.

Simultaneously, before long the two adult men also disappeared and left only a small child who was now lying unconscious in that place.

Liu Chen and two adult men appeared in an alley where Liu Chen first appeared after exiting the palace.

The two men were surprised to see the surroundings were different from where it had been. They were still in a pretty narrow alley. But this is a different place. At first their back collar was pulled by someone and now they show up here.

The two stared at Liu Chen, "Who are you really?!"

"I?", Liu Chen pointed to himself.

The two grown men nodded at Liu Chen's words.

Serigaian appeared on Liu Chen's face, "I am the angel of death to you. What you're gonna see last time is me"

He also disappeared again. Simultaneously, the two adult men were already tied to a rope that flowed Qi. In fact, these two men were just ordinary humans. But Liu Chen kept tying him up using the Qi rope.

The two men were bound separately. Their hands are tied backwards in a sitting position. Both of them were surprised by this.

"W-what do you want to do?" ask one of the men with fear.

Liu Chen was now in front of them with a dagger in his hand. He stroked his chin, "Hm.. What am I gonna do, huh?"

The two men before him were already extremely frightened when they saw a dagger in Liu Chen's hand.

Liu Chen appeared suddenly arriving behind the two of them and slightly scratched the neck of one of the men with a dagger. "Arrk-k"

Liu Chen immediately smothered his mouth, "You don't shout, there will be many people who know we are here. Youunderstand?"

The man immediately nodded and screamed inwardly. I don't know what this young man would do to them. But for sure, this is not a good thing.

Liu Chen suddenly appeared right in front of the man. He scratched his dagger into the cheek of the man he hurt earlier. Blood immediately dripped. The man wanted to scream but his mouth was always smothered by Liu Chen. "I've told you, not to shout earlier", Liu Chen looked at the man coldly.

Gaining that look, the man immediately shut up. Both of his eyes shed tears as they endured the pain. His friend was scared and could do nothing.

Slowly, the skin on the man's right cheek peeled off and exposed the flesh from the cheek.

Liu Chen said, "You guys are so lucky to have been able to get torture from me. Ah, I'm the lucky one to get a new toy"

Hearing the word 'new toy' made the two eyes of the adult man immediately glare. Doesn't that mean that there are already people besides them who are being tortured by this young man before them?

"You know? I don't like people who look at me with pride, greed, arrogance. Well, you guys were looking at me arrogantly and you felt great about me. You are weak", though",

Liu Chen skinned the skin of the man before him alive to make a lot of blood on the man's body. It can cause death for the man. But Liu Chen immediately forced the man before him to swallow his pills which could add blood.

Because it continues to be forced, the man can only resign. He swallowed. His friend who was sitting at the side had already fainted when he saw himself being skinned alive. Really, it was the cruelest thing he had ever seen.

The tortured man could only cry inwardly. His face only showed his flesh and he looked hideous at this moment. Especially with blood still flowing on his face.

But that did not scare Liu Chen in the least. He seemed to be more excited to see the misery of the man before him. He also did not know, since when he liked to do this cruel thing to others. Even people from the black-flow sect would not do this kind of thing. Maybe only he can do something like this.

A few minutes later, the man who was tortured by Liu Chen had now become a corpse. The conditions are so awful. His skin peeled off and exposed his flesh. Then, his internal organs scattered where.

Liu Chen stood in front of the corpse. His grin never faded from his handsome face. There were some blood spots on his face and clothes. In his hand, he saw two round objects. There also appears to be blood.

Liu Chen instantly squeezed the two eyeballs in his hand to shreds. Yes, he had previously gouged out the eyes of an adult man's corpse before the man was finally killed by losing a lot of blood. Really, he is very inhumane at the moment.

Liu Chen turned his gaze to the man who was still alive, but was now fainting. "Ah, why did he faint? It would be boring to torture a fainting person. I better wake him up" he murmured.

Liu Chen immediately smacked the man's face, leaving him bruised. However, the man did not open his eyes.

"Tck, he's hard to wake up to. How do I wake her? Did I hit his head?", Liu Chen shook his head. "If I do that, then he'll die right away"

Liu Chen held his chin and thought. "Ah maybe it can be done", he also directly pierced the eyes of the man in front of him.

"Aarkh-hmph!"

Liu Chen immediately smothered the man's mouth. "Don't be noisy. We'll be caught by the people here"

The man was inexhaustible with this remark of Liu Chen. That's what he wants to do. He wants people to know his situation and his friend. But as if the young man in front of him was playing hide and seek. Now he can only see with one eye. His gaze was directed behind Liu Chen.

The man froze to death watching his friend die so horribly. Was this all from the young man in front of him?

Now he was very frightened by what the young man would do in front of him. Let alone seeing what the young man would do to him, imagine that he could not.

Liu Chen's eyes turned red ever since he started torturing the man earlier. The grin was still on his face. "You think, what am I gonna do to you?"

The man shook his head quickly.

"Now sit up straight" Liu Chen said.

The man before him directly obeyed Liu Chen. Even with difficulty when he will sit down.

"The color you don't know what I'm going to do, so you better feel it for yourself"

The man shook his head quickly. The eyes that Liu Chen had pierced earlier appeared to bleed.

Liu Chen paid no heed to the man's fear at all. He did the same thing to the man.

Finally after a few minutes, Liu Chen stopped his activities. He stood in front of the two corpses of the man he had tortured. Both look pretty awful.

Liu Chen looked at his dagger and slightly licked the blood on his dagger. "Your blood is better than your friend's"

Liu Chen immediately swung his dagger from top to bottom sideways and made the blood on the dagger instantly fall to the ground.

"I forgot! How's the little boy doing?" muttered Liu Chen. He put his dagger in and went to where he found the little boy.

In just an instant, he was already in front of the little boy he was helping. The little boy still fainted.

Liu Chen's red eyes returned to their original black color. He shook his head, "He was so sorry. I would take him to the inn", he immediately carried the little boy on his back and disappeared from the alley quickly.
