Feeling Zhang Xiaoshan's aggressive actions, Hu Meizi was momentarily at a loss.

She was no match for Zhang Xiaoshan; all resistance was futile. Moreover, Zhang Xiaoshan was the savior of the Hu family. It seemed appropriate to offer herself to him, right?

Besides, isn't a hero like Zhang Xiaoshan the dream of a billion young girls?

Thinking this, she closed her eyes, somewhat expectant.

"Hehehe."

Her delicate body trembled, her chest rising and falling continuously. But suddenly, Zhang Xiaoshan chuckled softly and retreated a step.

No more movement!

She cautiously opened her eyes. Zhang Xiaoshan was already holding He Rui and had entered the courtyard.

"Miss Hu, as a woman, it's better to be a bit more reserved."

The courtyard echoed with Zhang Xiaoshan's teasing voice, click, as the door was closed.

"Me, reserved..."

Hu Meizi instantly realized that she had been fooled by Zhang Xiaoshan.

Thinking of her earlier loss of composure in front of Zhang Xiaoshan, her face blushed even more.

"Scoundrel, you scoundrel."

She wanted to rush in and show Zhang Xiaoshan a thing or two, but as she took a step.

"Uh-uh..."

She felt something peculiar.

Just as Zhang Xiaoshan teased her, unexpectedly...

"Scoundrel, you wait..."

She puffed up with anger, glanced at the courtyard, then hurriedly ran off to change clothes.

...

Entering the courtyard, Zhang Xiaoshan tossed He Rui onto the ground.

His Divine Thought easily covered a hundred yards, not even a mosquito could escape his thought network.

He wasn't afraid of anyone barging in.

A surge of True Qi was injected into the unconscious He Rui's body.

"Cough cough cough..."

Soon, the unconscious He Rui awoke.

"I, I'm still alive?"

Half-sitting on the ground, He Rui opened his eyes, looking somewhat surprised at his surroundings.

At this moment, the sun was halfway in the sky, shining warmly on people, very comfortably.

But quickly, He Rui felt a bone-chilling cold.

"You're alive, but you're also about to die."

A sentence snapped him out of his sweet dream.

Turning slightly to the side, he saw Zhang Xiaoshan sitting on a stone bench drinking tea.

"You, you devil, what, what are you going to do?"

"Kill me, just kill me."

He Rui shouted excitedly.

Zhang Xiaoshan splashed the hot tea from his cup onto He Rui's face.

He set down the teacup, stood up, hands behind his back, eyes cold as he looked at He Rui, threateningly saying.

"You better understand the situation; your life is in my hands. I let you live, you can live. I let you die, you can die. Of course, I also have ways to make life worse than death for you."

"Devil, you devil."

He Rui felt that the Chasing Moon Alliance's ways were already eccentric, yet compared to Zhang Xiaoshan, they seemed tame. Most importantly, wasn't Zhang Xiaoshan's title Miracle Doctor Zhang? Yet why did he act more wickedly than the Grim Reaper?

"Devil, this is just the beginning. If you don't answer my questions properly, I'll show you my truly cruel side."

"Answer me, why are you hiding in the Flying Fox Sect?"

Zhang Xiaoshan rarely had contact with the Chasing Moon Alliance, but each time, he felt their mystery and eeriness.

Like Chu Mingyue hidden beside the president of Ten Thousand Treasure Chamber of Commerce, Liang Chengdao, and the recently killed Master Bai Yun.

Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's question, He Rui immediately stated righteously.

"Since you know I'm from the Chasing Moon Alliance, then you should know better, the Chasing Moon Alliance is not something you can meddle with. Release me now, help me get the Flying Fox Token, and maybe you have a glimmer of hope, otherwise, you will surely die."

"Oh, the Flying Fox Token?"

"You are lurking here for that Flying Fox Token?"

"You, you, when did I say I was here for the Flying Fox Token, you're spouting nonsense..."

He Rui's expression immediately became panicked.

Zhang Xiaoshan chuckled.

"Fool, truly laughable. I can't understand why the Chasing Moon Alliance would arrange for a fool like you to infiltrate."

"Speak, what do you want the Flying Fox Token for?"

"I..."

He Rui gritted his teeth in anger.

"If you have the guts, just kill me. But I'll warn you, don't think that just because you have a master who has broken through to the Human Immortal Realm, you can underestimate everyone. I can tell you, we at the Chasing Moon Alliance also have Human Immortal experts, and not just one. There are many Divine Realm experts too, not just you. Even your master facing the Chasing Moon Alliance would only flee, don't make your path narrower."

"Oh?"

Hearing He Rui's words, Zhang Xiaoshan raised an eyebrow.

Earlier, he got some clues from Master Bai Yun, learning the Chasing Moon Alliance was not ordinary. But he hadn't expected it to be so terrifying.

With such strength, even the National Protection Bureau would likely find it challenging, needing help from several Guardian experts from ancient martial families to battle.

Yet, he was already clashing with the Chasing Moon Alliance, even if he wanted to pull away now, they probably wouldn't let him go.

"Don't scare me."

"You don't want to talk, huh? No problem."

Whoosh.

A flash of blue light swept through the field.

He Rui's left arm was cleanly severed, blood gushing forth.

"Ah."

An agonizing scream rang out.

"You, you scoundrel."

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

He Rui cursed loudly, but Zhang Xiaoshan did not stop, the flying sword flashing continuously.

His two ears were cut off.

Gruesome torture.

No one understands dissection better than a doctor.

"Kid, you sever my meridians, slice off my arms, cut off my ears, the Chasing Moon Alliance will surely not let you off."

Lying on the ground, He Rui roared in anger.

Zhang Xiaoshan chuckled.

"If I was afraid, I wouldn't be doing this."

"Have you heard of a punishment called Lingchi, or slow slicing death?"

"It's about slicing a person's flesh, piece by piece, cutting three thousand times until they're bare bones, and still alive, eventually dying in agony."

"Why not try it on you today?"

Upon hearing this, He Rui's scalp tingled.

"You, you dare..."

"Then let's try."

Zhang Xiaoshan furrowed his brow.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Qing Mei's flying sword swept across He Rui's body.

In just a few seconds, it sliced a dozen times, chunks of flesh falling to the ground.

"Ahhhh..."

He Rui screamed in unbearable pain.

Too vicious.

"Speak, I'll talk."

Covered in blood, He Rui finally panicked.

Zhang Xiaoshan did not stop, slicing dozens more times before collecting Qing Mei.

"I'm only giving you one chance, otherwise, three thousand cuts, I won't miss a single one."

He Rui had been tortured beyond recognition.

Now, he dared not show any disrespect or deceit toward Zhang Xiaoshan.

"I'll talk, I'll say everything."
