Chapter 239: Chapter 240 The Fifth Level of the Dungeon

Ye Wudao completely ignored such insignificant underlings who couldn’t make it to the big leagues.

"Take him to the fifth level dungeon!" The deputy warden personally led the team, commanding hundreds of fully armed jailers, keeping a tight watch.

Ye Wudao was escorted into the dungeon.

Upon entering the dungeon, he immediately sensed a foul and fishy stench, a mixture of various odors wafting through the air.

A narrow and deep passage lay ahead, flanked by solid prison cells on either side.

In each prison cell were imprisoned three to five convicts, each emaciated, with eyes glowing green from starvation.

Seeing someone emerging, the prisoners detained on the first level clutched the iron bars, shouting loudly, "Quick, let me out!"

"I’ve been wronged!"

The deputy warden’s eyes were frosty as he said, "Shut up, it’s deafening!"

Several cells were opened, and a few jailers brandished iron whips, showing no mercy as they lashed the skeletal prisoners.

"You don’t know when you’re better off dead, is your skin itching for more?"

"Gentlemen’s iron whips will take good care of you!" sneered several jailers with a brutal smile.

Bang!

Bang!

The sound of the whips mixing with the screams was incessant to the ear. An older man couldn’t withstand it, and was beaten until he vomited blood and fell to the ground.

The rest were beaten into scurrying for cover, trembling in the corners.

"If you dare cause more ruckus, you’ll lose this month’s food!" jeered a jailer.

"Hmph, they’re just wasting food by living, might as well starve to death!"

Ye Wudao’s gaze softened with a hint of pity as he slightly shook his head.

The deputy warden smiled and said, "Ye Wudao, don’t feel sorry for them. The prisoners on the first level have committed the lightest offenses; naturally, the punishment is the least severe!"

Is this considered light?

Ye Wudao frowned.

Soon, Ye Wudao left the first level.

The following journey through the prison overturned Ye Wudao’s entire worldview!

Each level worse than the last, the horrible conditions were simply appalling!

Especially the fourth level, where each convict was confined in solitary cells and bound by iron chains, undergoing torture twice a day, it was a fate worse than death.

"Will I end up like this?" Ye Wudao retorted.

"Hehe, of course not!" the deputy warden replied with a smile, "The punishments here are nothing compared to one-tenth of what the fifth level dungeon offers!"

"Oh?" Ye Wudao’s eyes showed curiosity.

"The fifth level dungeon holds extremely vicious felons with immense threat levels. The minimum qualification for containment is True Qi realm martial artists, and there are not a few who are half-step Marquis realm. That place, it’s truly hell on earth!" the deputy warden explained with a smile.

As they were speaking, the group arrived at the fifth level dungeon.

Before Ye Wudao stood a massive iron door, like a demon’s gate barring everything!

Just by standing there, the thick scent of blood and the intense aura of killing emanated relentlessly from behind the iron door.

The deputy warden took out a key and turned the lock.

"Open the door!"

Dozens of jailers pushed together, finally managing to swing the massive iron gate wide open.

"You little punk, go in and get a good taste of what it feels like to wish you were dead!" the deputy warden said, smacking Ye Wudao’s back with a palm.

Thud, thud...

Ye Wudao stumbled into the inside.

As he looked up, Ye Wudao saw the most horrifying scene of his life.

The entire dungeon was built around an oversized pool of water, unnervingly blood-red as if filled with fresh blood, emitting boiling hot steam.

Many prisoners could only stay in the boiling blood water, screaming and wailing non-stop.

Inside the blood pool, more than ten iron pillars stood, each one binding a prisoner. These prisoners were incredibly strong, all at the peak of the True Qi realm, and there were not a few who were half-step Marquis realm.

"Something is off..." Ye Wudao sensed that the blood water seemed capable of absorbing a person’s True Qi.

"Ouch, look, a newcomer!"

"We haven’t had a newcomer in the fifth level dungeon for a long time!"

"Look at this boy, so tender and soft; wonder how long he can last?" many prisoners teased.

As they were speaking, a piercing whistling sound came!

Bang!

A whip heavily smashed onto Ye Wudao’s body.

Who?

Ye Wudao’s eyes were icy cold as he looked forward like a ferocious tiger.

It was an elder in black attire, his face fierce, holding a spiked iron whip in his hand, and he sneered, "Newcomer, roll into the blood pool, and cleanse the sins from your body!"

"What are you?" Ye Wudao’s eyes were frosty.

"I am Lin Wei, the Guardian of the fifth level dungeon, following the Warden’s orders to guard this place!" The elder named Lin Wei said indifferently, his presence extremely strong, actually a Martial Artist of the Marquis realm!

"Oh, so you’re the jailer." Ye Wudao said flatly.

"Insolence!" Lin Wei roared, once more swinging his iron whip towards Ye Wudao.

Because Ye Wudao’s hands were shackled, he couldn’t dodge and had no choice but to endure!

Bang!

The iron whip solidly struck Ye Wudao’s body.

"Wow, this pretty boy has some backbone!"

"To withstand two strikes from Old Devil Lin without a scratch!" many of the prison’s experts exclaimed.

"Hmph, so what? There were plenty of newcomers who could withstand three or five blows from Old Devil Lin initially, but weren’t they all tamed and obedient later on!" someone else scoffed.

Ye Wudao’s eyes were chilling, his pupils emitting a terrifying murderous intent; "Old thing, if you dare hit me one more time! I will kill you!"

What?

Kill me?!

Upon hearing this, Lin Wei couldn’t help but burst into laughter; "Hahahaha, I have guarded the fifth level dungeon for seven years; this is the funniest joke I’ve heard in the world!"

After speaking, Lin Wei showed a vicious look as he swung his iron whip, which was now teeming with True Qi, instantly doubling its power!

"I’d like to see how you’re going to kill me?"

Bang!

Ye Wudao endured the whip, his clothes torn, a deep wound showing on his chest.

Ye Wudao said nothing, but the murderous look in his eyes grew more intense!

"Little beast, I hit you, and you better scream for me!" Seeing Ye Wudao stay silent, Lin Wei’s desire for domination flared up, and he frantically swung his iron whip at Ye Wudao.

Five times!

Eight times!

Ten times!

Nearly a hundred prisoners locked in the dungeon gasped in astonishment.

"He actually withstood ten lashes from Old Devil Lin!"

"That’s, that’s too strong!"

"It’s been so many years since this happened!"

Even those strong warriors tied to iron pillars had all set their sights on Ye Wudao.

"Damn kid, just scream for me! I’ll let you go, or else I’ll beat you to death!" Lin Wei was furious.

"Just with you?" Ye Wudao’s eyes showed contempt; seven years of bitter practice on Mount Kunlun - what painful experiences hadn’t he encountered?

The pain in the flesh, for Ye Wudao, was not torture!

It was enjoyment!

Little did he know, Ye Wudao’s attitude had completely infuriated Lin Wei.

"What a lawless, extremely arrogant boy! Today, I will make you understand what fear is!" Lin Wei raged, and a Marquis realm aura erupted from his body.

At that moment, a cold voice suddenly came from the blood pool; "Enough! Lin Wei, if you kill him, who will replenish the blood pool’s
