Sky Lantern!
In the history of Huaxia, this was a form of torture so infamous it could drain the color from a person's face.
With the fall of the Great Qing and the rise of a new society, the so-called Sky Lantern torture seemed to have long vanished into the torrents of history.
However, when Hua Xiaotian's lighter flew from his hand and landed precisely on the feet of Tanaka Nobuo, who was tied upside down to a wooden post… FWOOSH—! The flame ignited! The Sky Lantern was lit!
The long, oil-soaked silk strips slowly erupted into a scorching blaze!
From top to bottom, the roughly 1.7-meter-tall Tanaka Nobuo began to suffer an earthly torment worse than death. Amidst the sizzling flames, Tanaka Nobuo let out hysterical, heart-rending screams.
His powerful Divine Ninja Life Force only prolonged the agony, allowing him to feel his feet being completely consumed by the encroaching flames!
And this was merely the beginning.
