Chapter 285 The Tremor from the Depths of the Soul!
"I am willing!"
Song Yun, paying no heed to the bystanders trying to stop him, stepped onto the high platform. He first checked Song Bu's condition and found that although his father's breath was weak, the injuries were external and had not harmed his internal organs.
He carried Song Bu back to his mother, and then returned to the platform. Taking off his shirt, he hugged a wooden stump and said to Old Wei, "Come on!"
Old Wei, whose eyes normally showed no emotion, now revealed a trace of admiration and slowly said, "You have a good physique."
"Thank you for the compliment, sir. Let's get this done sooner rather than later!"
Song Yun grinned through clenched teeth.
At this moment, he had activated all his defensive power, including the Protective Gang Qi awarded by the system, which would ensure his safety throughout the punishment.
"The young man is quite confident, then I won't hold back either."
Old Wei, uncharacteristically smiling, raised his whip and shouted, "The first strike!"
"Clang!"
The whip, armed with barbs, struck Song Yun's back, producing a sound like the clashing of metal and stone!
And to the spectators below, it seemed as if sparks had flown from that blow!
"Fuck!"
Song Yun clenched his teeth and cursed under his breath. Even with all his defenses up, he couldn't completely block the pain from the whip! Enjoy new adventures from empire
With that first contact between the whip and his body, he felt a brutally unreasonable force slowly tearing into him!
"Not bad at all! You're really quite something, young man!"
A hint of surprise appeared in Old Wei's eyes. He flicked his whip and said cheerfully, "Forty-nine more to go, hang in there!"
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
.....
Soon, more than ten swollen bruises appeared on Song Yun's back. This was still bearable for Song Yun; after all, his recovery ability was several times, even tens of times, superior to an ordinary person's!
The spectators below were amazed; they had never seen anyone endure more than ten lashes from Old Wei's whip while claiming it didn't hurt at all. This was the first time since the Bai Family's rules were implemented!
"Fifteen!"
Old Wei's eyes shone with bursts of brilliance, and his movements with the whip started to become unpredictably mysterious. This time, Old Wei was using his real skills.
"Snap!"
It was this sound!
Just this sound!
This was the sound that should accompany a beating!
Otherwise, everyone would think Song Yun was an iron robot!
This time, Old Wei concentrated the force of the whipping into a single point, like an electric drill forcefully boring through all of Song Yun's defenses.
With this strike, Song Yun immediately felt his scalp tingle, and a cold sweat broke out all over his body.
It was damn painful!
This force didn't seem like it could belong to a human!
A monster, indeed!
This Old Wei was definitely a monster in human skin!
Song Yun grimaced in pain, swiftly regaining his strength. Even with his defenses breached, they needed to be rebuilt; otherwise, relying solely on his physical strength, he certainly wouldn't last three more lashes!
"Your muscle tone is quite impressive, young man. Clench your teeth and endure; it will benefit you," said Old Wei. Raising his whip, it came down again, striking the same spot as before.
The already torn flesh on Song Yun's back was struck again by the whip, immediately revealing even more crimson red.
Within that patch of crimson, one could vaguely glimpse a hint of white.
"Seventeen!"
"Snap!"
"Eighteen!"
"Snap!"
"Nineteen!"
"Smack!"
...
The people below were all silently swallowing their saliva, as it had already been twenty-four lashes! Although Song Yun on the stage seemed to be breathing out more than he was taking in, this had already broken the record for the Bai Family's punished!
Twenty-four lashes!
Song Yun had not fainted, on the contrary, the more wounds he had, the brighter his eyes shone, and combined with the fact that he hadn't cried out in pain since the first lash, it made the Bai Family members unanimously think that this kid was like a wolf!
A ferocious beast that doesn't cry out!
The moment you discover its trail is surely when it bites through your throat!
The more they watched, the colder they felt inside.
"Twenty-five!"
"Twenty-six!"
"Twenty-seven!"
It soon reached forty-five lashes!
Everyone below had their eyes fixed on the punished man, Song Yun. Throughout this process, he always looked as if he was on the verge of death, yet he bravely endured each lash.
"Can he really make it through!"
This was the thought in the hearts of all the Bai Family members.
Bai Jingbing clenched his fists tightly, his gaze firmly fixed on Song Yun. Hold on, you must hold on!
After the final five lashes, those from the Bai Family's side branches could only shut their mouths, forever unable to criticize using your parents' affairs!
"This last five lashes, each will be more painful than the combined total of the previous forty-five. Are you ready?"
Old Wei looked at Song Yun with satisfaction and asked.
"Come... come on!"
Song Yun's voice was weak, like the buzz of a mosquito, but the firmness it contained was deafening!
"He's a fine young man."
Old Wei flicked the blood-soaked whip and then aimed at a piece of flesh on Song Yun's back that still seemed intact, whipping down fiercely!
"Hmm!!!!"
Song Yun suddenly embraced the wooden stump tightly, his body involuntarily twitching, the feeling from this lash as if a fish had been scraped of its scales, with every inch of cells on his skin crying out loudly.
But before he could recover his strength, the second lash had already arrived.
This sensation was different, Song Yun could clearly sense his skin and flesh felt as if they were coming apart, his own skin felt like a cage, one he could escape from with just a little effort!
His willpower struggled crazily with the pain, causing his eyes to bulge with bloodshot veins!
Three more lashes, what to do!
Song Yun knew that, forget three more lashes, even one more would cause his spirit to forcibly shutdown due to exceeding the threshold.
But just then, Song Yun felt the pain on his body rapidly fading away, replaced with a warm strength growing within him.
This power made him, a person covered in wounds, feel as though he was soaking in a hot spring, and it was also continuously repairing his body.
"The last three lashes, cough cough! Hang in there!"
Old Wei might be good with using the whip, but he was also of advanced age, and today had drained him of too much energy and spirit.
"Smack!"
This lash embedded itself deeply into the body, and as Old Wei's hand trembled, it pulled out some flesh along with it.
Song Yun roared in a low voice, his whole body spasming wildly, his eyeballs rolling back.
Just when everyone thought Song Yun had fainted, he suddenly let out a fierce roar.
"Smack!"
The penultimate lash was an ordinary one, but Song Yun could feel that it wasn't his flesh being struck, but his soul!
It was a shiver from the deepest part of the soul, bringing pain that surpassed the sum of all the previous pains!
"Good lad, you've held on through the last lash, just don't faint!"
Old Wei took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his previously muddled eyes had become clear as those of a baby.
"Smack!"
