Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

This person was none other than Erwa, who had been lying in ambush.

It turned out that the group had discussed letting Erwa find a place to hide first. Then, they would create some commotion to attract the attention of those black-robed men, allowing Erwa to take the opportunity to escape.

The sudden collapse of the villager was to create chaos and provide space for Erwa to run away.

Erwa naturally wouldn't waste such a good opportunity. While the black-robed men were gathering around to investigate, he darted away like an arrow shot from a bow.

About a hundred zhang ahead of the mine entrance was a dense forest. As long as he could reach it, Erwa was confident he could escape, relying on his familiarity with the mountain paths and the cover of the trees.

Thinking of this, Erwa sprinted towards the lush forest like a cheetah.

However, to his surprise, a sneer suddenly appeared on Hong Shixiong's face just as he started to move.

He secretly took out a yellow talisman from his pocket. After chanting a few incantations, the yellow talisman mysteriously disappeared.

"Damn it, you old geezer, you're pretending to be sick and slacking off! If you don't get up, believe me, I'll whip you to death!"

After examining him, Wen Shidi discovered that the fallen villager was only feigning illness, so he raised the long whip in his hand and threatened him.

"Immortal Master, spare me! Immortal Master, spare me! This old man won't dare to do it again, I'll get up now." Seeing the long whip about to strike, the villager who was pretending to be sick quickly stood up.

The other villagers scattered and went back to work, but a glimmer of hope had emerged in their hearts.

"Oh no, one person is missing!"

At this moment, a black-robed man exclaimed in alarm, realizing that one of the mortals under his command had escaped.

This exclamation immediately alerted the other black-robed men. They looked around and finally spotted a strong man running rapidly towards the forest.

"Damn it, he's over there! That guy is trying to escape!" After spotting Erwa's figure, Wen Shidi shouted and was about to chase after him.

But at this moment, Hong Shixiong suddenly stopped him: "Wen Shidi, do you need to personally deal with a mere mortal? I've already made preparations. Just wait and watch the show."

Hearing this, a cold smile appeared on Wen Shidi's face, as if he had thought of something.

Meanwhile, Erwa was now less than ten zhang away from the forest. With a little more effort, he could reach it.

"I must escape! I must escape!" Erwa roared in his heart: "Only by escaping and finding more powerful people can I save the entire village! So I must escape!"

Erwa's eyes gleamed, and he used all his strength to accelerate again, rushing towards the forest.

Soon, Erwa reached the edge of the stone quarry and the forest. Erwa reached out and could even grab a leaf.

Only then did Erwa see clearly that a giant python, about ten zhang long, had somehow slithered beside him and was now wrapping its tail around him.

Seeing this scene, Erwa's original joy instantly turned into despair. In that moment, hope turned into hopelessness.

Like Erwa, the villagers of Cai Lan Village, who had been secretly gloating, immediately turned desperate when they saw Erwa being captured.

They knew that everything was over.

At this time, Wen Shidi walked up to Erwa with a sinister smile, raised the long whip in his hand, and struck Erwa's body with a 'smack'.

Endless pain surged into Erwa, but he gritted his teeth and didn't even cry out.

However, Wen Shidi ignored this, wildly waving the whip in his hand, striking Erwa's body again and again.

"Hehe, you little brat, you're good at running, aren't you? Come on, run one for Grandpa! Why the hell aren't you running!"

While severely whipping Erwa's body, Wen Shidi didn't forget to taunt him and laughed maniacally.

Seeing Erwa being so severely abused, Erwa's father was extremely anxious and rushed out, shouting: "Immortal Master, my son is ignorant, please forgive him! If you really want to vent your anger on someone, then hit me! I only ask that you spare my son."

Which father in the world doesn't love his son? Seeing Erwa being beaten so badly, Erwa's father felt like his heart was being cut.

"Get lost, you old geezer! Get the hell out of my way, or I'll beat you too!"

Seeing Erwa's father entangling him, Wen Shidi pushed him to the ground with force.

"Dad!"

Seeing his father being pushed down, Erwa shouted, and his eyes filled with endless anger as he stared at Wen Shidi and said: "If you dare to hurt my dad, believe me, I won't let you go even as a ghost!"

"Yo ho, I didn't expect you little brat to be so arrogant?" Hearing Erwa's threatening words, Wen Shidi laughed.

But soon, he shook his head and said mockingly: "Tsk tsk, but it's a pity, you don't have the right to become a ghost, because after you die, this young master will extract your soul and make you endure the burning of poisonous fire for eternity, so you won't be able to rest in peace, haha… hahahaha…"

Thinking of something extremely interesting, Wen Shidi burst into laughter.

Erwa was furious when he heard this, and his eyes were bloodshot as he stared at him.

"Alright, Wen Shidi, don't waste any more words with this kid. There have been quite a few escape attempts these past few days. To educate the others, use this kid as a warning to show them what the rules are."

Hearing Hong Shixiong's words, Wen Shidi nodded, then looked at Erwa again and said: "Kid, consider yourself lucky. Originally, according to my methods, I would have tortured you before killing you, but this time, to give you mortals a lesson, I've decided to let you die now."

As he said this, Wen Shidi licked his lips, a terrifying smile flashing across his face. Then, he took out a black dagger, injected a trace of spiritual power into it, and the dagger glowed with a sinister red light before shooting towards Erwa at lightning speed.
