As a result of the constant exchanges between the two thatâs fighting up in the air now, the ground has become littered with miniature craters due to their back and forth. In short, the earth has become a hazardous scorched earth appearance and many demons fled as far as they could without actually leaving the city outskirts entirely. Even so, the upper hand soon fell into Di Cangâs hands as beads of sweat became apparent across the female spyâs forehead.
âDi Cang!â Suddenly, a faint yet crisp cry reached out from the rear and made the demon king swing around at that gorgeous face. âThrow her inside this spell formation I made and then inject your power into it!â
Without hesitation at his wifeâs order, Di Cang instantly blinked behind the female spy and stomped down at the womanâs back, causing an audible thud with his foot and landing a bullseye in the process. Then to seal the deal, he reached out with his hand and blasted his wifeâs work with a sizable chunk of his power in the form of a purplish flame. Naturally that final gesture wasnât an attack, rather itâs an injection like Bai Yan wanted, thus causing the spell to wink to life.
âAh!â When the red light rose from within at its activation, the female spy immediately screamed out in pain like the area inside were burning with toxic fume. Itâs excruciating and tortuous even to those listening in so it didnât take much for others to realize whatâs happening.
â¦â¦
Painful!
The spy flew into a desperate rage in no time, constantly throwing herself entirely at the transparent veil thatâs acting as her cage. Unfortunately for this poor foolish woman, whatever attempt sheâs trying to do were for naught because the weight of her attacks and body slamming didnât even make a dent in the veiled circle. Rather, itâs herself whoâs tittered with scrapes and bruises from all that fussing.
âLet me out, you let me out now!â her eyes turned red, showing a look of madness as she continued.
In awe at this amazing spectacle, First Elder had to ask again with increased variety in the tone of his voice: âQueen, this spell formation of yours, itâs able to trap a High Divine?!â
Itâs not like the demon elder was over reacting in this case. Even in the Demon Realm, a High Divine was a rarity and could be considered a powerhouse among the demon kingâs army.
Shrugging her shoulder like itâs nothing, Bai Yan spoke with a hint of melancholy like what she achieved was nothing to gloat about. âIf by virtue of power then of course I canât imprison a High Divine, thatâs why I borrowed Di Cangâs strength.â That said, she then stares down at the prisoner with a taunting look, âWhat now? Didnât you call me weak and useless earlier? How come you are trapped by the one you are looking down upon?â
Stopping now over that remark, the female spy clenched her teeth and showed a defiant face: âYouâre only relying on your man to subdue me, who do you think you are to speak to me in that manner?â
âWell, at least I have my man to rely upon, you donât.â
At least I have my man to rely upon, you donâtâ¦..
If it was the old Bai Yan who still hasnât married yet then she would never say something like that. Unknowingly, she too has been changing since their union. While the demon king became more humanistic and less of a hard ass, the queen herself has learned to give trust to others when carrying a burden.
The spy couldnât retort to that statement since Di Cang and Bai Yan are a couple after all. Like what else was she supposed to say in this instance when sheâs already caught? In the end, regret was the only emotion filling up this one because she didnât need to come alone today, she couldâve waited and attacked with the other Monarchs who were still arriving from their territories.
âI havenât used this spell formation in many years already, generally its reserved for traitors that has some secret I needed to know. Are you honored that its being used on you?â
The spy didnât respond, only clenching her teeth in silent defiance.
âI call this the Tortuous Truth Bind. It inflicts and intensifies the pain receptors of those inside it. Whenever you answer me dishonestly then it will detect that in your brain, which would create a reaction. Just so you know, the pain you felt when the spell activated is nothing to what you are going to experience once I begin my interrogation.â Despite her smile being so gorgeously mesmerizing, Bai Yanâs face only looked menacing and dark in the eyes of her captive. Itâs the same as the demon kingâs, only in the female form.
âYour name?â
The spy didnât take the warning to heart of course. With a snort, she swung her head to the side without answering. Now thatâs when it happened. Glowing underneath the ground, the scribbles of weird symbols Bai Yan wrote on the floor with the chalk pen began to glow red again and bolts of lightning just zapped upwards from out of the blue.
Unlike the usual electrifying experience of being hit by thunder, these bolts of electric beams didnât get absorbed by the flesh, instead they acted like whips of thorns that whacked her fleshly body in every angle. This includes the face, the chest, andâ¦. well, a torturing device doesnât discern between a femaleâs private parts so those bits were also up for the taking.
âAHHHHHH!â By the time the first wave was over, the spy could see her clothes had mostly been ripped and left her bare for the world to see due to all the damage. However, thatâs not the worse of it. Where ever those whips of electrifying madness landed, it would leave behind a line of blackness on her skin to show its been severely burned from the contact. Thereâs still white smoke smoldering out of her ruined skin!
