Cut of a thousand Knives, or Lingchi

The slow process, the lingering death, or slow slicing, and also known as death by a thousand cuts, was a form of torture and execution used in China from roughly 900 until it was banned in 1905.

It was also used in Vietnam and Korea. In this form of execution, a knife was used to methodically remove portions of the body over an extended period of time, eventually resulting in death.

Imagine being strapped or attached to a pole, still very alive, then a guy with a knife starts cutting Pieces of Flesh from your skin, slowly and surely, you feel the pain, but in all of this time, you are alive as the executioner makes sure you live for as long as possible, then finally you die after a long period of time even though the Pain is not the worst compared to other Punishments, the Time you spend suffering in such pain surely is, as unlike the other punishments, the extreme pain lasts for a long time.
