Chapter 366 - Caged Bird
Soon after, from within her body, the purple vine twisted around and came out. It rapidly grew, quickly following along cracks in the door and the wall, growing all over Ji Sheng Hall's courtyard.
Under the cover of the night, nobody saw that the both inside and outside of Ji Sheng Hall's walls were densely covered in purple vines.
Additionally, this purple vine separated the two worlds through an enchanted barrier, allowing all the people inside Ji Sheng Hall to become caged birds. Nobody would escape and nobody could let out any sounds.
A moonless and windy night was the best time for interrogation and murder.
Hexi retook the Purple Abyss Vine wrapping around Qin Hai. Qin Hai let out several violent coughs, immediately he wretchedly howled like a pig being slaughtered.
Because the Purple Abyss Vine put down an enchantment, people outside couldn't hear anymore sounds from inside Ji Sheng Hall. But, naturally, the people inside Ji Sheng Hall's courtyard could hear everything.
So when shopkeeper Qin Fu heard the screams, he couldn't even be bothered to properly finish putting on his clothes before running out.
As he was running, he also screamed, "That son of a b**** is tired of living! Daring to come to Ji Sheng Hall to cause trouble, do they know whose territory this is?!!"
Qin Hai, who was originally wailing like ghosts and crying like wolves, immediately frantically threw himself over to shopkeeper Qin when he saw him approaching. Lifting up the arm that had been cut off at the wrist, he bawled. "Daddy, save me ah! You have to act as my master ah! My hand...... My hand...... It was all that smelly youngster, He...... He, in one swipe, chopped off my hand...... wu wu wu...... Daddy you have to take revenge for me, ah!!"
When shopkeeper Qin saw Qin Hai's chopped off wrists, he could only see the white bone inside the fierce looking flesh. His two eyes blurred and his body staggered.
Immediately, he was suddenly angry. "Who!? In the end, who was it *** that dared to hurt my son, I will dismember their body ten thousand times!!"
Qin Hai was actually his only son. Although his spiritual base is heterogeneous and his innate cultivation skill wasn't good, but he certainly had a gift for studying medicine.
At an earlier time, when Doctor Xie was in a good mood, he (Doctor Xie) promised to properly educate his (shopkeeper Qin) son.
Originally, shopkeeper Qin didn't set his heart on this son. But Doctor Xie's words helped fill his (shopkeeper Qin) heart with hope.
As long as he (Qin Hai) could gain Doctor Xie's inheritance, Qin Hai could become a doctor with a rank. How would their Qin Family fear lacking an opportunity to achieve meteoric success in their life then?
In the blink of an eye, when shopkeeper Qin was thinking about his beautiful dream, his son's two hands had been cut off at the base. What was the use of a low-level martial artist whose hands had been cut off?
Could they study medicine? Could they practice magic? Absolutely not!! His sole son was now a waste!
Thinking up to here, shopkeeper Qin was seething with anger and Qin Hai was filled with more pain and more hate. Pointing towards the direction Hexi stood in, he bawled. "Daddy, it's him! It was him who suddenly barged into the store. All I did was ask too many questions, so he chopped off my hand...... wu wu wu...... Daddy, you must take revenge for me. Let this son of a b****'s four limbs get completely chopped off by me, ah!"
Shopkeeper Qin turned to face Hexi, who was sitting on the great master's chair. But when he looked at her, he got scared and jumped.
He merely saw the faint yellow candle flame reflecting upon an exquisite, snow white face that resembled porcelain. At a glance, it could be seen that this was merely a weak untouched youth. Even more so, it was a handsome youth that had refined and beautiful facial features.
But this youth's two eyes were deep, filled with icy coldness. Merely just looking at you with those eyes would cause someone to feel as if they were in the eighteenth level of Hell or within some snow, unconsciously causing someone to shiver from head to foot.
Chapter 367 - It Was You Guys Who Dared?
Additionally, there was also the imposing manner that emitted out of him. Clearly it was a weak body, looking at people from far away. But it was as if he could crush ants without any extra trouble, causing shopkeeper Qin felt an unspeakable feeling of fear.
He stumbled backwards a step and his voice trembled. "You...... Who are you? What do you want to do here?!"
But just after speaking this, he suddenly discovered that this imposing and astonishing youth was merely at Foundation Establishment stage.
At first, shopkeeper Qin was shocked, he found it hard to believe. Soon after, he felt ashamed which turned into anger.
He...... He was scared by a youth at Foundation Establishment stage.
Although shopkeeper Qin himself was also just at Foundation Establishment stage, Ji Sheng Hall had numerous bodyguards. Among these, there were no lack of experts at Meridians stage.
For himself to be scared out of his wits by an insignificant youngster at Foundation Establishment, if this matter was spread out, other people would laugh until their teeth fell out.
Thinking up to here, shopkeeper Qin suddenly felt irritated. Facing towards the bodyguard behind him, he shouted, "You group of wastes, what are you doing still distractedly standing there? Did you not see this son of a b**** injure my son?"
"Still haven't given it to me? Let her be chopped up into a pulp. Whoever gives Hai'er revenge and gives me an inch of her hand will be rewarded with a Replenishing Spirit Pill by me!"
Saying this, shopkeeper Qin's sinister and resentful gaze looked towards Hexi and coldly said, "Nothing more but an insignificant Foundation Establishment stage martial artist. You had the courage to come and provoke Ji Sheng Hall. Today we let you enter with your life but you won't leave here alive!"
Having heard what was said, the group of bodyguards loudly answered "Yes." Quickly, they encircled Hexi.
These bodyguards were martial artists hired by Ji Sheng Hall. The lowest level martial artist was at high-rank Foundation Establishment stage. Hexi was merely an insignificant and weak youth at Foundation Establishment stage, how could they be compared?? They didn't attach any importance to Hexi.
So much so that they didn't even take out their flying swords, instead, they took out regular swords in passing and turned to rush towards Hexi.
After all, regular swords weren't as sharp. So, when cutting a person it would cause the recipient to feel more pain and more torment, they believed that this method would cause this youth suffering and make him cry out in anguish. This would let shopkeeper Qin feel some satisfaction.
Hexi looked at the people who encircled her and her eyes held no interest in them. So much so that her mouth evoked a faint smiling expression, as if she were looking at a group of dead people.
But very quickly, the smiling expression on her face morphed into a cold killing intent after looking at the waist of the head of the bodyguards.
She just saw that the male was no more than thirty years old, his face was three-fourth's percent the same as shopkeeper Qin and Qin Hai's.
Hung around this person's waist was a storage bag, and this storage bag was one that Hexi recognized. It was precisely the one that Hexi had gifted to Wet Nurse Chen.
Hexi narrowed her eyes, it was only until the bloodthirsty look in her eyes passed before she fixed her attention onto the male and slowly said, "Bie Courtyard located on the east side at the foot of Cang Mountain, was it you guys who dared?"
Having heard what was said, the head male stopped in his steps. He and shopkeeper Qin turned to look towards each other, laughing out loud, "I was still wondering where such a rash youth came from. Unexpectedly, you rushing over to provoke my Ji Sheng Hall was originally for revenge!"
Shopkeeper Qin narrowed his eyes. With a grave expression he said, "Why would you come here? Thanks...... Was there not a slip of paper left telling you to go to the residence in the eastern outskirts?"
Could it be that the youth standing before him was the brilliant Genius Doctor Xi that Doctor Xie told him about!?
Why would he come to Ji Sheng Hall, wasn't he supposed to go to the other courtyard in the eastern outskirts? Doctor Xi and the others had already set up a good trap, they were just waiting for her to walk into it!
Only, it didn't matter if she didn't go to the other courtyard in the eastern outskirts, it was no problem if she came here as well!
Chapter 368 - Brutal Killing
A greedy smile showed on shopkeeper Qin's face. As long as he could capture this youngster in Ji Sheng Hall, then how could Doctor Xie not acknowledge the situation? At that time, he, Qin Fu, wanted to fish up advantages. How was this not as easy as a hand's turn?
Thinking up to here, shopkeeper Qin immediately loudly said, "Don't kill this youngster, catch him alive!"
Qin Hai didn't dare anymore after shopkeeper Qin said this. At this moment, although the bleeding in his hand had stopped, there were still bursts of sharp pain that tortured both his body and mind. His whole heart was filled with loathing.
To add onto the fact that his hand had been broken, this was equal to the fact that he would no longer have a future after this. How could he agree to leave the matter at this? "Daddy, didn't you say that you wanted to give me my revenge? Why would you let this smelly youth get away!"
Shopkeeper Qin didn't pay any mind to his son, instead, he smiled evilly towards the head male. "A'Feng, I only care if his (Hexi's) life is left. As far as whether his hands or feet are broken, it doesn't matter to me. When you start, pay attention to this!"
The male who was called A'Feng was the same one mentioned by Zhang San, shopkeeper Qin's nephew- - Qin Feng.
Originally, the relationship between Qin Feng and shopkeeper Qin was separated by a million miles. But Qin Feng's aptitude for cultivation wasn't bad and at forty years old he already got to Meridians stage. To add onto the fact that he was very firm when doing things, it caused shopkeeper Qin to think highly of him. Even Doctor Xie was rather respectful to him.
This time when they attacked the Bie Courtyard in Cang Mountain, inside Ji Sheng Hall only Qin Feng and his several younger brothers could participate. The other bodyguards in Ji Sheng Hall didn't even meet the qualifications.
At this moment, having heard shopkeeper Qin's words, Qin Feng looked towards the boss and laughed out loud. "Be at ease. I'll definitely play like a cat would a mouse and nicely tease our little godly doctor. How could I act like I did to those trashes from Bie Courtyard? If he truly died, Doctor Xie may not look for me anymore, ah!"
Listening to their dialogue, Hexi's mouth slowly picked up. "Looks like I don't need to ask anymore, you guys definitely had a part in it!"
"We had what?" Qin Feng disdainfully looked towards Hexi, rubbing his chin he chuckled. "It was nothing more but a group of wastes, they still dared to rebel. Heh heh, what a pity ah. They were only Qi Refining stage martial artists. Even if they went all out and rebelled, how could they escape out of our palms?"
Saying this, he still looked at the crafty-looking little brother standing next to him. Smiling he said, "Ai, rat, do you still remember the expression of those group of people during their final struggle? That type of despair, that sort of helplessness. It really leaves a memory in someone, ah."
This rather-die-than-submit type of people are my favorite. Watching them give up hope and become hatred but be helpless. That appearance is even more satisfying than f***ing a big talking young lady."*
The little brother who had been called a rat immediately started mischievously laughing and said, "How can I not remember? Especially that black and foolish big one. Feng Ge, do you still remember the look on his face when he saw that old lady die?"
"Hahaha, thinking about it now is hilarious. I cut off his hands and feet, he even wiggled around on the floor with all his might. Really was the same as a caterpillar, it's too funny. I messed with them so much it was hard for me to kill them!"
Once the rat's words were said, it immediately caused Qin Feng and his little brothers to burst into laughter.
They lacked any worry. In front of Hexi they began to discuss the pleasure they received when brutally killing the group of people in Bie Courtyard.
Someone said, 'I pulled their intestines out and twisted it around their neck. I watched them get strangled by their own intestines, it really is too interesting.'**
Chapter 369 - Optimum Tonic
Someone else said, 'What a pity that Bie Courtyard was just full of a group of old smelly men. The women they could play with were just a few ordinary rough servant girls, they would be finished after just playing a few times. If they could play with the soft skinned and tender servant girl, it would be too good.'
Qin Feng clicked his tongue and sighed towards Hexi. "This little Genius Doctor looks quite pretty. Soft skinned and tender flesh, a beauty who's able to overturn cities. Compared to the most beautiful woman in a brothel you are thirty-percent prettier."
"Once Doctor Xie learns what he wants to from this person, we'll request for the Genius Doctor and properly play with him. Younger brothers, does this sound good? After all, today we captured him, this is an achievement!"
Everyone burst into laughter again, even the other bodyguards of Ji Sheng Hall were influenced by this atmosphere. Towards Hexi, they kept adding more disdain and ambition.
Hexi actually softly laughed. She didn't shallowly sneer, instead, she enchantingly smiled like a demon.
She softly and slowly said, "Good, very good!"
Qin Feng was momentarily lost in her smile and he became distracted. Following which he heard her indifferent voice, that sound was silky and soft. As if it were a feather softly floating in his heart, causing his heart to feel as if he wanted to do something but he lacked the courage to.
But his brain kept turning over the words, "what does 'good' mean" when suddenly a purple vine that seemed to appear out of nowhere shot in front of him.
Without waiting for him to respond, the purple vine wrapped around his chest. The tip of the purple vine softly struck against his thoracic cavity and a pounding heart appeared in front of Qin Feng.
Qin Feng's two eyes were open wide, it was as if he had seen a ghost as he looked at the purple vine that was constantly rocking in front of him and the live heart pulsing on the vine.
The purple vine seemed to be very happy as it swayed around for awhile. Suddenly, it shot out a dozen or more other roots. Following that, several sounds sounded out "Pu chi", "pu chi" as they entered inside Qin Feng's body.
Qin Feng only felt a burst of violent pain rack throughout his entire body. Throughout his entire body, there were numerous purple vines inserted inside, but not even a single drop of blood could be seen flowing out.
Moreover, what was even scarier, was that within his body all the blood was draining away.
No! No, it wasn't draining away! It was those dozen or more purple vine roots that were swallowing it.
"Ah- - Save...... Save me!"
Qin Feng let out a hoarse yell but when it came out of his mouth, it was so damaged that nobody could hear it clearly. Additionally, the heart in front of him was still swaying about.
The purple vine suddenly rolled up. That heart let out a "peng" sound before abruptly exploding open. Afterward, it was completely absorbed by the purple vine.
Qin Feng felt cold from head to toe. Up and down his whole body, he felt bursts of chilly and acute pain.
Then, he looked on helplessly as his skin slowly turned old and shriveled up. What was left was just a layer of skin to wrap around the bone.
"Peng- -!" Loudly sounded. The Purple Abyss Vine had already thrown the completely sucked dry Qin Feng onto the floor. It swayed as it returned back to Hexi's side. The leaves on the vine continuously moved around, letting out rustling sounds.
This was the Purple Abyss Vine expressing it's limitless cheerful emotion.
Compared to spiritual energy and magical energy, the thing it loved to do the most was suck up human blood. Martial artists, in particular, had spiritual energy in their blood which was the optimum tonic for it.
It's just a pity that previously, Hexi didn't allow it to randomly suck blood.* Adding onto that, the spiritual energy was very abundant in Hexi's space so it wasn't often hungry. As a result, it didn't get to taste very many martial artists' blood.
But today Master said, it could play and eat as it wished as long as it was the people inside this room. Allowing it to breathe in as it wished. Purple Abyss Vine just finished eating all the man's blood and even swallowed his heart. This taste was truly too splendid.
Chapter 370 - Terrible Monster
And inside this room, there was still so much delicious food. The more the Purple Abyss Vine thought about it, the more incomparably happy it felt.
Master was really a good person, ah!
In the blink of an eye, the people who were just talking turned into mummies who were taking their last breaths. This originally amused and boisterous scene suddenly turned sluggish.
A large part of the bodyguards had frightened expressions.
And Rat who was the closest to Qin Feng suddenly came back, screaming, "Big brother- -!"
Rat supported a person up but all he saw was a mummy with a face full of terror. The skin on the person's entire body was wrinkled together. Except for the skin and bones, there wasn't even a drop of blood inside his body. The two eyes protruded inside the eye socket, holding dread in them.
Upon seeing this, Rat immediately opened his eyes wide. Rushing towards Hexi, he yelled out, "Son of a b****, you killed my big brother. I want you to pay with your life!!"
After he said this, he took out a flying sword and advanced towards the people behind him. Snarling, "Everyone, let's unite. Even if that purple vine is difficult to deal with, there's only one person controlling it. If we unite and get rid of him, then we can get revenge for big brother!"
Once everyone came back from the fright, they felt that the words that Rat spoke were correct.
Although this youngster was difficult to deal with, he was only at Foundation Establishment stage. Even if his magical weapon was strong, so what? Don't tell me he could block everyone's attacks? If he used just spiritual energy, at some point it would run low.
Thinking up to here, everyone took out their flying sword and quickly launched an attack on Hexi.
For a moment, all sorts of flying swords advanced towards Hexi. The screams all mixed together, shaking the earth with it's power, causing the entirety of Ji Sheng Hall's shop to shake.
All one heard was "hong long - -"
The place that Hexi was originally standing in got a huge hole smashed into it. Smoke was rising spirals around the surroundings of the hole and dust was flying out. There was also the sound of thunder and lightening crackling and rumbling around the scene.
Rat laughed, "This sort of attack, if you could still manage to dodge it then I, grandpa, will......"
After only saying half his sentence, his voice suddenly came to an abrupt stop. His face showed disbelief and alarm.
The youth's leisurely and slow voice sounded in his ears, but it sounded as if it was coming from Hell. "I escaped, what will you do......"
"Hehe, you can only die miserably!"
After the voice fell, Rat's entire body was rigid. Unexpectedly, he was unable to move even one step.
The other bodyguards in Ji Sheng Hall were the same as well. It was as if someone cast a body freezing spell on them, they couldn't move an inch.
These bodyguards' faces were filled with fright. When they looked at Hexi it was as if they were looking at a terrible monster.
Clearly, the youth in front of them was only at Foundation Establishment level. How could he cause them to not even be able to move an inch? Don't tell me that he's a ghost?
But, if they all just looked at each other they would discover that at the back of each of their heads was a tiny silver needle.
It was just that these silver needles had a large amount of spiritual power in them. This caused their dantians to stop circulating and the blood in their vessels to stop flowing, causing them to be unable to move or use their spiritual energy.
The Purple Abyss Vine was twisted around Hexi's arm. Her fair, white fingertips softly poked at its vines. Towards the people who were unable to move, she faintly smiled. "I never liked a sloppy job. Originally when I came here, I was going to give everyone a quick death. But you apparently didn't give me that opportunity."
"Seeing as you all take pleasure from tyrannizing people, when it comes time for you to be tyrannized, you must be a glutton for punishment."
