12. Slow Slicing
Ling Chi, translated as "slow slicing" or "the lingering death" was described as the death by a thousand cuts.
Practiced from 900 AD to 1905, this form of torture and execution is similar to The Five Pains, but drawn out over a much longer period of time.
The torturer slowly cuts and removes several body parts, extending the victims life and torture as long as possible.
According to Confucian principle, a body that is cut into pieces cannot be whole in the spiritual afterlife, making the form of execution one that still tortures the victim in the afterlife.
