C20 Suffering Before Death

"No, I swear I'm not lying!"

The tattooed man woke up from his half-unconscious state and let out a shrill cry, "You promised to spare my life!"

"I did indeed. However, these girls did not."

Su Lang said to the frightened girls with a smile, "The chance to exact revenge is right in front of you. What are you still waiting for?"

"If you don't have the courage to do so, why don't I lend you a hand instead?"

Having been abused for a long period of time, the girls trembled in fear. After recalling the various kinds of bullying they had suffered, on the other hand, the hatred within their hearts surged uncontrollably.

"I.... I'll do it!!"

One of the girls stood up as she continued trembling. Although her teeth were still chattering, the killing intent in her eyes were practically overflowing.

"Me too!"

The second woman stood up, followed by the third and fourth women. Before long, the last of the eight women also stood up.

Gathering the ropes, chains, and various items that had been used to tie them up, they shifted their gazes to the single man left alive.

"You may play with him to your heart's content, but don't let him die too quickly."

Su Lang nodded in satisfaction before turning around and leaving the room.

After he walked past the remains of the door around the corner outside the room, a loud shriek that sounded like a pig being slaughtered echoed through the halls.

"How wonderful of a retribution!"

Su Lang revealed a slight smile before making his way to the residential area of the stronghold.

Since the stronghold was not that big, Su Lang arrived at his destination within a few minutes.

While the gate to the residential area may be tightly shut, it did not pose any issues for Su Lang. After all, he had mastered the skill of lockpicking during his days as an assassin.

Not long after, Su Lang successfully opened the gate and went in.

"Who is it?"

A woman's voice suddenly sounded from inside the room.

At that moment, a woman dressed in blue appeared before Su Lang.

The woman seemed to be an Initial Body Tempering cultivator. Although she had a pretty good appearance, it was unfortunately tarnished by the bruises on her face. With a single glance, Su Lang noticed the fear lingering in her eyes.

When she noticed that the person who came in did not have a tattoo on his earlobe, a glimmer of hope flashed through her eyes.

"Are you one of the women who was abducted?"

Su Lang looked at the woman dressed in blue in front of him and asked.

The woman in blue asked excitedly, "Yes, but who are you? How did you get in here? Can you take me away?"

"I will soon be leaving this place. Of course, you will also be able to. However, I still have a few things I need to do."

Su Lang asked with a gentle smile, "Have you heard anything about a vault or safe? The one where the guards keep their gold and silver coins."

"Yes, I have! In fact, I even know the password for the safe. One of the guards unconsciously muttered it after getting drunk."

As the glimmer of hope turned into a shining light, the woman in blue exclaimed with joy before repeatedly nodding her head.

"Do you still remember the password? If so, that's great. Quickly bring me there."

Su Lang was naturally astonished by this unexpected outcome. Since he had never touched a safe in this era before, he did not have the confidence to open it. Thus, it would save him a lot of trouble if he had the password.

"The safe is over here. The password is...."

As she spoke, the woman in blue quickly turned around and led the way.

After following her for a few seconds, Su Lang noticed the safe the size of a wardrobe before him. Judging from the design, it didn't seem to be easy to break into with sheer force.

Su Lang entered the password and opened the safe with a clang. Immediately, he was blinded by flashes of golden and silver light.

The woman in blue who was standing at the side also stared blankly at the wonderful sight. The amount of gold coins was simply beyond her imagination.

"This is great! This is great!"

Immersing himself in the piles of gold and silver coins in front of him, Su Lang burst into a fit of laughter as he exclaimed, "I wonder if this would be enough to upgrade the system!"

Immediately after, Su Lang grabbed a handful of gold coins and deposited them into the system.

In the mysterious black space, the number behind the gold coin icon instantly shot up to 26!

Watching the gold coins disappear into Su Lang's hands, the woman in blue was dumbfounded.

To be able to store items out of thin air meant that one possessed a Ring of Space. However, a Ring of Space could only be possessed by the martial cultivators of the Martial General Realm!

For someone in the Body Tempering Realm to possess such a luxurious item, how terrifying must that person's background be?

Amidst her understanding, the woman in blue began gazing at Su Lang with utmost respect.

Although Su Lang did not know why the woman in blue was staring at him in such a manner, he continued to laugh mischievously as he stored everything into the storage of the system.

After plundering everything from the safe, the number behind the gold cold icon skyrocketed to 1568!

"I have more than 1000 gold coins! Hahahaha!"

Clenching his fists in excitement, Su Lang stretched his arms into the air and shouted loudly, "System, upgrade the One-Click Cultivation Function!"
