Novel Full 690 Swift Interrogation
“Now, what will we be doing with you two-” the Forbidden Alliance youth said, his voice cutting off as his gaze locked onto Laia. The other youth stared at her as well, both seemingly stunned in place. The two recovered from their stunned daze after a moment, at which point two evil smiles appeared on their faces.
John frowned as he saw the gazes of the two youths, who were clearly entranced by Laia’s angelic beauty for a moment. While he could not blame them for their initial reactions, John felt a wave of rising displeasure boil within as the two stared at Laia with lascivious expressions.
Sigh!
A deep sigh escaped Laia’s lips as an item suddenly appeared in her hands. She moved her hands towards her face, and placed the veil she used to wear back on her face, hiding all but her eyes. John had almost forgotten about the veil she used to wear, as she had not worn it around him since they met up in the Dao Transformation trial.
“Hehehe,” one of the youths started laughing sinisterly, his eyes greedily scanning Laia up and down, “we sure found a beautiful one this time. That veil of yours will be removed shortly, along with-“.
Boom!
A beam of lightning pierced forward without warning, arriving before the speaking youth in an instant. The youths eyes went wide, but that was all he could do before the lightning slammed onto his face, its speed and power beyond anything he thought possible. His head immediately exploded into a fine mist, while the bits of blood and brain instantly charred from the lightnings lingering power.
The other youth’s eyes went wide at the unexpected attack, but he quickly recovered his wits as his cultivation began to flare.
Bang!
John’s fist slammed against the youths chest as he arrived before the youth like a blur. The sound of broken bones rang out as the youth shot backwards like a bullet, his body tumbling head over heels for over a mile, carving a mile long trench into the earth. He eventually came to a stop, while a wave of excruciating pain wracked his entire body.
Boom!
Another thunderous boom blasted out as John landed violently before the youth, gazing down at him with cold indifference. The youth couldn’t help but stare at John with rising fear, as he had no idea how his opponent was erupting with such monstrous power. They had not even raised their guards due to his Middle Heaven Tribulation cultivation, which had made them unable to react in time to his monstrous attacks.
John walked over to the youth and crouched down before him, staring coldly into the youths eyes.
“Here’s what’s going to happen,” John said to the youth, his voice filled with cold malice. “You’re going to tell me what I want to know, and then you’re going to die. If you do not cooperate with my questions, I’ll make you suffer a fate worse than death.”
Che!
A sharp dagger suddenly pierced towards John’s temple as the youth unleashed a surprise attack. Despite the fact that his opponent was beyond his comprehension at the moment, he was still a heavenly genius of the Forbidden Alliance, and had faced many life and death situations before. All it would take was one successful attack to kill his opponent.
Bang!
The youths arm exploded into a mist as John’s fist slammed into it with unstoppable power. The dagger flew off into the distance, while the youths eyes widened in absolute fear once more, as he found himself in a situation where death was fully assured.
[0)ᴠʟ “You’ve chosen the hard way I see,” John said coldly as he reached out towards the youth, whose cries of pained anguish echoed out loudly for the next ten minutes before coming to a halt.
John watched the life finally leave the now mangled body before him, and he stood up from his crouched position and turned around to gaze at Laia. Her eyes trembled slightly as she looked at John, almost as if she were seeing a different person for the first time.
John’s cold eyes stared back at Laia, who seemed to not know what to say at the moment.
“This is just the beginning of what’s to come,” John said to Laia, his voice cold and almost emotionless. “My cultivation path forward will be littered with more corpses than you could possibly imagine. If you don’t want to climb that mountain of corpses alongside me, then it’s best you go your own way from now on.”
His words were cold, and his message even colder. Laia felt her heartbeat speed up as she gazed at John, who truly seemed like a different person at the moment. She had grown up with a pampered and sheltered life, and was a child of light and life due to her innate talents. The gruesome things John had just done shocked her to her core, as it was her first time seeing something like that.
She remained silent for quite some time, before she closed her eyes and breathed out deeply. She opened them once more, and her previously trembling gaze was no more.
She said no words, but instead walked up to John and stood next to him, her gaze firmer than before. A gaze that John could tell was saying she would follow him no matter what. John stared back at Laia for a moment before a small smile appeared on his otherwise cold face, happy to have her accompany him for what was to come.
“These two were the weakest of the bunch, too scared to compete with the strongest of their powers. Instead they stayed on the outskirts of this realm and preyed on the weak. Our target is a temple at the end of the realm, where the strongest have gathered. That is where our war shall take place. Let’s go,” John explained to Laia, as his interrogation had revealed quite a few things. Laia stared at John for a moment before nodding her head, and quickly followed closely behind John as the two sped forward towards the Temple Realm.
