Chapter 49: The Most Vicious Instruction (Part 1)
CRACK—CRACK—CRACK— Li Qiye gave Zhang Yu a vicious beating. Among the three hundred disciples, Zhang Yu's Dao Practice was considered on the lower side, yet he had joined the sect a year or two earlier than most.
Although Zhang Yu's Dao Practice was shallow, he possessed the tenacity of an Old Ox, with a spirit that refused to give up. The Snake-Beating Staff lashed cruelly against his body, wracking him with pain. It felt as if his muscles and bones were being flayed, making it difficult to even stand.
But Zhang Yu resisted again and again. Even though he knew this resistance was futile, he still struggled to his feet time after time. And each time he rose, Li Qiye would beat him back down.
This time, Li Qiye was intentionally testing him, lashing Zhang Yu over and over. Although no blood was drawn with any strike, the pain was unbearable, as if every bone in Zhang Yu's body had been shattered.
