"Heh..."
Zhou Cangyan lowered his gaze and smiled.
Suddenly, he raised the sword in his hand. In a single, brief instant, he inflicted more than a dozen cuts on Zhang Yu's body, each one deep enough to reveal bone.
He cut skillfully, avoiding any vital points with every strike. Then, he kicked open the lid and threw Zhang Yu inside!
"AH... AAAAAHHH!!"
Zhang Yu's bloodcurdling screams echoed from within.
"No! No!"
Xuan Qi's expression remained unchanged, but the Shadow Guard was filled with righteous indignation.
'He dared to throw the Princess Consort down there. Let him be fed to the snakes!'
'Snakes are extremely sensitive to the scent of blood; they'll frantically burrow into his wounds! Even if the pain doesn't kill him, the terror will!'
Zhou Cangyan turned to look at Xuan Mei and ordered, "Go find Huai Xu."
"Yes, sir!"
Xuan Mei turned and left.
Zhou Cangyan, however, strode decisively toward that pitch-black, bottomless pit.
