Unexpected Second Chance at Love [3]

CHAPTER 529: time is up

The night carried on as usual. Before anyone knew it, the sky was already transitioning from darkness to light as the sun slowly began to rise in the distance. A slight breeze from the early morning blew in to soothe one’s soul.

However, while those in Imperial slept peacefully in slumber, a person rotated between screams and silence on a private island.

Chu Li Xiang laid in his own blood and was frantically gasping between his sobs and screams. Each time he thought he was already dead, he would open his eyes to meet the person torturing him again.

It was as if his misery never knew how to end.

Now he has been awoken for the ninth time. Both his arms and legs had been chopped off and fed to the sharks below.

The aloof man is definitely worthy of being the most ruthless person. Far worse than those in the underworld that Chu Li Xiang has ever met.

Lu Tian did not chop his arms and legs in one go. He started with Chu Li Xiang’s right arm up to the elbow, then his left leg to the knee, then the other arm and leg no different.

When Chu Li Xiang saw this, he thought the torture was done, but to his misfortune, it was not. What came after were his remaining arms up to the shoulder and legs to the thigh.

Even when he thought he would be immune to the pain, he thought wrong. All the pain he was receiving, is all he could think about. Pain after pain.

He stares up at his reflection in the mirror with his eyes that were crying blood. He wanted to scream, but his throat had become so hoarse and dry, it hurts just opening his mouth.

Shifting his gaze to the left, he felt anger and vengeance crawl inside him. If he still had his arms, he would be clenching his fists so tightly right now.

Lu Tian was leaning against the side of the brick table. His back was turned to Chu Li Xiang as he leisurely smokes a cigarette.

He blows a gust of smoke out and stares expressionlessly at the space in front of him.

\"Painful, isn’t it?\"

His words fell and he inhales another deep breath of the cigarette in his hand.

\"No matter how much you want to distract your mind, you can’t because pain is the only thing running inside your brain.\"

He takes his last puff and toss the cigarette to the ground. His left leg slightly raise, and he steps on it.

\"All the pain you’re feeling right now is not even equal to the amount of pain you’ve inflicted upon the innocent lives you took.\"

Slowly turning to look at Chu Li Xiang, he reach for the axe that was waiting patiently to be used again.

The moment Chu Li Xiang saw this, he knew his end was coming and his entire body shook from inside and out.

\"Just kill me already!!!\"

He roared with all the energy he had left. The pain was too much to bear and Lu Tian is right. As of this moment, no matter how angry he wants to be, all he can think about is the pain inside him.

Hearing the man’s pleading demand, Lu Tian arch a brow then put on a thinking face. However, that expression on his face only lasted for a very quick second.

He grips the axe tightly with his left hand. Even though Lu Tian is right-handed, his left hand raised the axe steadily without any problems. For him, both arms work at the same strength.

\"Very well.\"

Chu Li Xiang squeeze his eyes shut. His end is finally coming. All the torturous pain is all going to end.
