Chapter 300 Hanging by a Thread (3)_1
Mo Lian struggled to lift her head, looking at the person and said, "In your dreams!"
Mo Lian’s cheeks, once rosy and full, now caved in, her eye sockets hollowed and her eyes lifeless, having long lost their original vivacity. Seeing her like this, and watching Feng Cheng continue to whip her nonstop, Dugu Qianye felt a mix of heartache and rage. She gathered her Spiritual Power to strike at Feng Cheng, but at the last moment, someone grabbed her hand.
Dugu Qianye turned to look at Zi Xiao. Zi Xiao didn’t say anything, merely holding onto her hand firmly. After a while, Dugu Qianye suppressed her rage. She couldn’t act impulsively right now—if she saved Mo Lian now, it would endanger the others.
"You’re not crying out, are you? If you don’t cry out, I’ll make sure you cannot cry out at all!" said Feng Cheng as he whipped her even faster, dipping the whip in saltwater after every two strikes.
Mo Lian’s back was already a torn mess, revealing chunks of flesh underneath, and as the saltwater-dipped whip struck her, the barbs pulled at her skin and muscle. At the pain of the saltwater seeping into her wounds, many onlookers gasped, but not a single one dared to say anything. They only discussed in hushed tones on the side.
"This girl has such bad luck, running into Feng Cheng."
"Yeah, among the young masters of the Feng Family, Feng Cheng is known to be the most ruthless and cruel."
"Sigh, looking at this girl’s condition, she probably won’t last another two days."
"That young man yesterday was probably in a similar state, I heard he’s still not dead. No idea if he can get through today. Sigh, he was beaten so miserably yesterday, it was truly pitiful."
"Who would think otherwise when Feng Cheng is in such a good mood these past days! Everyone in Wulai City knows that when the eldest young master of the Feng Family is in a good mood, he loves to torture people! It’s said that at this year’s family assembly, the main branch specifically called for him, which is an honor for a branch family. If the main branch takes a liking to him, he could stay there and develop further. By then, who in this city could compare with him?"
