An Ultimate Martial Art

Year after year.    

Unknowingly, Su Ye had actually stayed in the bloody world for a whole five years.    

If life was indeed divided into light and darkness, then these five years would inevitably be the darkest five years of Su Ye's life.    

Five years ago, Su Ye had accidentally stepped into the bloody world, met Mu Xu, and went to Meng River Village.    

After the news leaked out.    

He was sent to the Great Western Region by the spies of the Great Western Region. After receiving three months of false courtesy from the Grand Imprint Emperor, he had been sentenced to a month's imprisonment, and had a taste of inhuman torture that he had never experienced before.    

After that, the war ended and the 13 empires negotiated. He began his forced tour of the world, taking two complete turns, especially the Great Lin Dynasty that had drawn the first round. He even went through it three times and drew the second seal to head for him a total of four times.    

It could not be said that these dynasties had given Su Ye a cruel torture from the very beginning, amongst which, many of them were truly willing to trade with Su Ye with great sincerity, hoping that they would be able to exchange some of their benefits for Su Ye's secrets.    

But when they realized that Su Ye had steeled his heart and was not willing to reveal any of his secrets, these courtesies disappeared and were replaced with torture, all sorts of unimaginable torture. Some empires even started to torture Su Ye halfway through their journey when they wanted to take him back the second time.    

All of this had become a dark life that Su Ye would probably never forget for the next ten years at least.    

However, no one realized it.    

In the process of losing all will to travel around like a living puppet, Su Ye's body, which was already in ruins and was examined by many doctors and found that it would be difficult for him to live past seven years, actually had a pair of eyes that grew brighter and brighter, and became firmer and firmer.    

From the day he started wandering around the bloody world, he had not spoken another word. This kind of silence that carried a hint of ridicule and ridicule had angered many people, but Su Ye knew in his heart that this time, his silence was one of suffering and suffering. Behind the silence that he had chosen himself, there were only two results: If he did not explode into silence, he would perish in silence.    

This silence allowed him to clearly experience what it meant to have dignity. In the course of his inhumane torture, he would often have the thought that it would be better to die without any dignity. Moreover, this thought became clearer and clearer.    

Until a year ago, when Su Ye was under the control of the Great Qing Dynasty and received its punishment, he had experienced an unprecedented explosion of power. While the Great Qing Dynasty's emperor was caught unawares, he had bit off the nose of the Great Qing Emperor.    

In that instant, he could even faintly feel the awakening of his soul and the violent pulses of the Stones of Courage stored in his storage ring. It was as if he was about to directly use his courage to melt that layer of mysterious substance on the surface.    

If he had simply died rather than losing dignity, then Su Ye had indeed done it at that moment. Furthermore, he was ninety percent sure that he had planted a seed of faith called 'dignity' in the depths of his heart.    

But at that moment, Su Ye held back his impulse.    

It was because he discovered that in this world, not only could one throw away life and death for one's dignity, there was also something that was not much weaker than one's dignity. Freedom.    

He discovered that even if he had the courage to throw his life and death away from dignity, he still could not escape the control of the bloody world and the 13 dynasties. Without the dignity of freedom, there would still be no dignity. He would still live in this bloody world like a pitiful bug. Even a few years later, there would still be a group of people with surname Su who were struggling in this world.    

As a result, Su Ye restrained his urge to plant the seed of faith in his dignity, and continued to passively accept the Thirteen Divisions, who were pushing themselves around again and again, and continued to experience the freedom that was in no way inferior to dignity.    

Five years passed in the blink of an eye.    

Su Ye's circle had arrived at the third round of the Grand Liang Dynasty.    

He was a very interesting person, he had a very brutal personality, when there was a need to torture Su Ye, his methods were not any lighter than the Mu Hu, who was specialized in punishing Grand Imprint Emperor and interrogating criminals.    

However, at the same time, he also possessed a very eccentric sense of humor. Every time he tortured Su Ye to the point where he wished to die, he would also take the initiative to offer Su Ye a toast and say a few heart-wrenching words to him. After that, he bluntly declared that he believed that Su Ye was not an ironclad person and would not be able to endure these hardships sooner or later, and was willing to reveal some secrets that were not worth protecting.    

"Su Ye, counting this time, this should be the third time we have met. If we were friends, we could all be called old friends. "    

After Mu Lu led the group out of the borders of the Great Ying Empire, he started to joke with Su Ye, but Su Ye ignored him.    

Mu Lu was not angry, this was already the third time he went to the Great Seal Court to bring Su Ye out, and he had long gotten used to Su Ye's silence along the way. Furthermore, he already knew that Su Ye wasn't just silent to him, he also didn't speak a word to anyone.    

Mu Lu was still the same as before. He said with a smile: "Even though you don't say anything, I do want to say it. To be honest, I really admire you."    

Admiration?    

Hearing this, Su Ye's eyelids could not help but tremble, this was the first time someone expressed their admiration towards him since he left Meng He Village, and this was not to pry open his mouth to get his secrets, but to get his admiration from the bottom of his heart.    

"Including the time you were taken away by the Great Seal, it must have been about five years since you arrived at bloody world. "Tsk tsk, how many inhuman torture have you endured over the past five years? I don't even dare to imagine. At the very least, even I am afraid of the torture you've suffered under my hands, not to mention the torture the other dynasties have inflicted on you."    

"This kind of torture has been going on for several years without end. If it were anyone else, they would have probably broken down long ago, but you didn't loosen your grip at all. It was really shocking. Sometimes I even wonder what the hell you're doing this for. "    

Mu Lu turned his head and looked at Su Ye blankly.    

Coincidentally, Su Ye also turned his head, his two eyes met in mid air for a moment. Mu Lu's eyes lit up, thinking that Su Ye was finally going to speak, he couldn't help but strike the iron while it was hot.    

"Su Ye, to be honest, I had intended to torture you after we left the borders of the Great Seal Court. "But now, I already understand that torturing you is useless. Rather than tiring myself half to death, I might as well just send you to the Great Liang Dynasty quietly. When that time comes, there will naturally be people responsible for torturing you, saving me some trouble."    

"Moreover, this is the last time I will be responsible for taking you to the Great Liang Dynasty. After completing this mission, I will have to take off my armor." Not long ago, I offended a rich and powerful son of the imperial court, and I crippled him. He was very unwilling and wanted to find an excuse to deal with me.    

"I'm afraid I won't have the chance to meet you again after this. Since it's like this, why don't you speak to me frankly?"    

Unfortunately, Su Ye still did not reply, and when he turned his head, a trace of ridicule flashed past his mouth.    

Mu Lu was startled, and his expression immediately sunk.    

The words he said earlier were not a lie and it was not just to pry open Su Ye's mouth. He really wanted to express his admiration for Su Ye. But he didn't expect that his heartfelt words would not gain Su Ye's approval, and seemed to make Su Ye feel especially disdainful.    

Mu Lu suddenly had a feeling of anger at being wrong, he retracted his sincere look just now and fiercely said to Su Ye: "Hmph, Su Ye, it seems like there is nothing you can do about my misunderstanding, no matter how good I say, you will still treat me as a person who just wants to pry open your mouth to get your secret, so I won't have to be courteous anymore, you brought this upon yourself. Someone, punish him! "    

Under Mu Lu's command, his two subordinates immediately rushed forward like wolves and tigers, and removed the shackles as well, putting on the torture device.    

His subordinate looked at Su Ye in disdain, then said to Mu Lu fawningly: "General Lu, actually, you should have done this a long time ago. Su Ye is simply a stinky and hard rock in a latrine, I didn't know that you would treat him this way."    

"Shut up!" Mu Lu bellowed.    

No matter how Su Ye made him angry from embarrassment, the admiration in his words just now was genuine from the bottom of his heart, so how could he allow his subordinates to slander him like this? So what if his subordinates slandered Su Ye? What's the difference from slandering him?    

The subordinate retracted his head. Knowing that he had flattered the wrong horse, he no longer dared to speak. However, after being reprimanded by Mu Lu, he could not help but feel a little annoyed, and this anger was ruthlessly vented out onto Su Ye while his subordinates were torturing Su Ye.    

Just that, no one noticed, that as he was walking towards the execution area, Su Ye was being suspended in the cage, with his head lowered, enduring the torture of the sharp blades. His eyes were getting brighter and brighter.    

With regards to freedom and dignity, the two types of desires far surpassed the desire to live forever and become a surging force in Su Ye's heart. These two types of energies that were originally filled with illusory were transforming into two bright points of light on the surface, and were dripping into the soil in Su Ye's heart like water droplets.    

If someone from the bloody world was able to see the scene in Su Ye's heart through Su Ye's chest, they would definitely realize that this was the process of cultivating the Heart Sutra of Courage and planting a seed of faith in one's heart.    

After enduring five years of torture, Su Ye had created a unique Heart Sutra of Courage for himself. On this road that led to the torture and punishment of the Great Liang Dynasty, he finally succeeded.    

A completely new belief was no longer eternal life, no longer immortal. It was only for dignity, only for freedom, only to break through any shackles that bound him in the world. It was freedom, it was dignity.
