Chapter 2890 - 2891: Give Him a Quick Death

Chapter 2890: Chapter 2891: Give Him a Quick Death

The bones will first lose moisture and become brittle under the scorching of the flames, and then gradually become carbonized.

This process is extremely painful.

Because you have to endure unimaginable pain.

Moreover, the dehydration of cells will leave you exceedingly thirsty.

Yet you cannot open your mouth to breathe, because as soon as you open your mouth, the high-temperature gas will enter and scorch your airways and lungs.

The crucial point is unclear whether Xue An did this deliberately or not, but this process was extended extremely long.

Thus Li Dengfeng could only watch helplessly as he was gradually roasted.

This could be called the cruelest punishment in the world.

Li Dengfeng originally thought he could remain unyielding until the end, especially since he never blinked when torturing others before.

But he severely overestimated himself. In fact, merely less than a minute had passed when he couldn’t hold out any longer.

The initially raging curses first turned into moans of pain, then into hysterical screams, and finally into pleas escalating one after another.

"I was wrong, Sir, I really was wrong. Please give me a quick end! I can tell you everything!"

The flames then retreated, a wisp of cool air made Li Dengfeng comfortable enough to want to burst into tears.

He finally realized how pleasant it was to breathe freely.

"Where did you get this fragment?" Xue An asked, holding The Celestial Mirror.

"I acquired it in an accidental situation. At that time, everyone didn’t know what it was, so they planned to auction it off. Only I discerned it as a rare treasure, so I directly kept it!"

Xue An had long suspected this.

After all, the Hundred Benevolence Store grew famous through auctions; this item likely came about during such an event.

And after obtaining confirmation from Li Dengfeng, Xue An nodded.

Li Dengfeng scrutinized Xue An’s expression and cautiously said, "Sir, are you searching for this item? Then let me handle it, as long as you spare my life, I will definitely help you search for it with all my power!" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"How will you search?" Xue An inquired.

Li Dengfeng seemed to have found a lifeline and immediately said, "Of course, by using the power of the Hundred Benevolence Store. After all, I am its owner and somewhat renowned in the Netherworld Ghost Market, so if I step forward, there will definitely be results!"

Saying this, Li Dengfeng, already half-charred, looked at Xue An with hope in his eyes.

He earlier indeed wanted to beg for death.

But after experiencing great pain between life and death, he became cowardly.

After all, the ant still steals life, let alone someone pampered like him.

But Xue An only smiled slightly in response, "Sounds good, but... it’s not only you who can do this, right?"

Li Dengfeng was taken aback, then understood, but before he could speak, Han Bao had already rushed to Xue An’s side, kneeling down.

"Sir, I am willing to serve you as your vassal!"

"Then if I let you run the Hundred Benevolence Store, can you do it?" Xue An said calmly.

Han Bao was overjoyed and kowtowed several times, "Of course, I can. After all, I’ve been there for years, handling numerous affairs, so if you want to find that thing, you can entrust it to me. I will surely give you a satisfactory answer!"

By the end, Han Bao’s intention was already blatant.

Li Dengfeng was infuriated, glaring at Han Bao.

If looks could kill, Han Bao would’ve been long dead.

But Han Bao paid no heed to such matters, instead looking at Xue An with a humble expression.

Xue An turned towards Li Dengfeng with a faint smile and said, "Did you hear that? It seems you’re not needed anymore!"

Li Dengfeng’s heart gradually sank into the Abyss.

He knew that his sole chance had been buried by Han Bao’s words.

The only thing he could do was softly plead, "Then please give me a quick end, Sir!"

Xue An nodded, "Han Bao!"

"Yes, my lord!"

"Give him a quick end then!"

Han Bao hesitated not a bit and immediately replied, "Yes!"

Then he rose and walked to Li Dengfeng, sighing softly, "Old master, this is the last time I call you that. Don’t blame me for being ruthless. Blame yourself for committing nonsense and offending the Sir!"

Li Dengfeng stared at Han Bao, coldly laughing, "Enough talking, get on with it. But remember, Han Bao, I will be waiting for you below!"

Han Bao chuckled, "Fine, then you wait for me there!"

With that said, Han Bao hesitated no more and struck with his palm.

Because Li Dengfeng’s flesh had already been burnt away, this strike directly impacted the bone, shattering his neck and head.

Brain matter spattered out, and Li Dengfeng was immediately killed.

After finishing all this, Han Bao quickly retreated, bowing respectfully to Xue An.

"Sir, it’s done. Please give your orders!"

Xue An didn’t even glance as a wisp of flame flew out, incinerating Li Dengfeng’s corpse into ashes.

At the same time, the flames that raged over the entire Hundred Benevolence Store disappeared.

The revealed scene left people shocked.

Because despite the Sea of Fire’s assault, the Hundred Benevolence Store was perfectly intact, even the flora remained untouched.

This miraculous scene stunned Han Bao, who then bowed his head deeply, his expression increasingly obedient.

"Now you will manage the Hundred Benevolence Store. Do you know what to do?" Xue An said calmly.

Han Bao immediately said, "I know. I will secretly search for the fragments of the Ancient Mirror, ensuring a prompt report to you!"

"Good! Then I await your news!"

After saying this, Xue An led Shu Jingchu away from the Hundred Benevolence Store.

Once outside, Shu Jingchu said softly, "I finally understand why you spared this person’s life!"

Xue An raised an eyebrow slightly, smiling faintly, "Oh? Why?"

"Because you already know that the fragments of The Celestial Mirror came to the Hundred Benevolence Store by chance. So you destroyed one, leaving another to conveniently control the Hundred Benevolence Store!"

Xue An laughed heartily, "You guessed right, but only half right!"

"Oh? Then what is the other reason?" Shu Jingchu mimicked him slightly, raising her eyebrow.

Xue An said calmly, "The more important reason is that I disapprove of the Hundred Benevolence Store’s actions! Especially Li Dengfeng, who treats people as goods! Such behavior deserves countless deaths without redemption."

Shu Jingchu’s eyes sparkled at these words, but she cleverly hid her thoughts, softly asking, "Then where should we go next?"

"Naturally to the Treasure Pavilion you mentioned earlier! Though we now have the Hundred Benevolence Store, it’s always good to have another option!" Xue An responded calmly.
