Chapter 206 Xia Lianghe's Methods, Rank 2 Lion-Tiger Eagle
"I'll ask a question, and you'll answer it, is that alright?" Xia Lianghe stared intently at the two female cultivators from the Jin family, coldly uttering these words.
"Who are you? Do you know what you're doing? I am Jin..."
Snapped!
Without saying a word, Xia Liang slapped her across the face like a sudden storm.
Having been slapped, she reacted like an enraged viper, revealing a venomous expression as she stared intently at Xia Lianghe.
Xia Lianghe was so angry that he laughed. He looked at his hand, shook it, and took out a whip from his storage bag.
This whip resembles a thick tiger's tail. Although it is of low quality, it is more than capable of striking cultivators without magical power.
When Jin Yuling saw Xia Lianghe take out the whip, her face turned ashen. She was about to say something when the whip came crashing down like lightning.
"Snapped!"
A sharp crack, like a thunderclap, rang out in the silent air as the whip, like a venomous snake, struck precisely across Jin Yuling's beautiful face.
Immediately following was a bloodcurdling scream, like a pig being slaughtered.
"Ah!"
Meanwhile, Jin Yuyi, another female cultivator from the Jin family lying not far away, saw this scene and her delicate body trembled violently like a candle flickering in the wind. She subconsciously wanted to stop it.
However, when she saw the scarlet blood on the whip, she retreated in fear, like a startled rabbit.
She was still so young, how could her delicate skin, as smooth as white jade, withstand the whipping?
Therefore, Jin Yuling has no choice but to suffer.
After a dozen or so breaths, Jin Yuling could no longer bear it and immediately shouted, "I'll talk! I'll tell you everything! Stop hitting me! I can't take it anymore!"
Xia Liang glanced at Jin Yuyi, whose eyes were filled with terror like a fawn's, and a chilling smile crept onto his lips.
"You think you're tough? You were tough just now, but with me, you'll be tough for life. I'll smash your bones to pieces and see how you can stay tough then!"
clap clap clap!
"You beast, you'll die a horrible death! You..."
Another barrage of lashes followed. Seeing that begging for mercy was useless, Jin Yuling began to curse like a shrew.
clap clap!
After a few more lashes, his mouth seemed to be sealed shut, and he could no longer make a sound. He could only curl up helplessly like a wounded little animal, protecting his head.
After a dozen or so breaths, Xia Lianghe revealed a smile that seemed to indicate he hadn't had enough. Looking at Jin Yuyi, he asked with ill intent, "Would you like to try the taste of this whip too?"
"No, no, I'll tell you everything, please don't do this to me, I'll promise you anything."
Jin Yuyi looked at the gruesome corpse on the ground and was so frightened that she kowtowed repeatedly like a pestle being pounded.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Jin Yuyi."
Snapped!
"Ah!"
"Stop rambling. When did you all arrive at Panyun Market?"
"Seven days ago."
"We came to the market to buy elixirs for cultivation."
Upon hearing this answer, and considering the information about the Xia family, Xia Lianghe nodded thoughtfully. Then, his eyes, sharp as a hawk's, fixed intently on Jin Yuyi, and he pressed, "Do you know about the Xia family members who died?"
.........
A quarter of an hour later.
Xia Lianghe finished his business with satisfaction and led Jin Yuyi out of the woods.
The two then ran back to Panyunfang Market.
Three days later, the two left the market with another cultivator.
On a clifftop a thousand miles away, Xia Lianghe lifted Jin Yusong, a cultivator from the Jin family, off his neck like a chick.
Then, he carefully removed the talisman that was stuck inside Jin Yusong's clothes.
Jin Yusong, as if frozen in place, immediately regained consciousness, his eyes cold as ice as he looked at Xia Lianghe and Jin Yuyi.
However, at this moment, Jin Yusong was unable to move any part of his body, and he couldn't even make a sound, so he could only stare coldly at the two of them.
In this dog-eat-dog world of cultivation, he had long anticipated this day, but he never expected that it would be his own clansmen who would betray him.
When Jin Yuyi saw Jin Yusong's murderous gaze, a strong sense of guilt suddenly welled up in her heart, but this feeling only lasted for a few breaths before she forcibly suppressed it.
There was no way she could bear it; Xia Liang's methods of torture were simply too cruel.
Moreover, she wanted to live, not die.
Xia Lianghe looked at Jin Yusong's hateful eyes, his brows furrowing tightly. He saw far too much in those eyes.
This person is a very tough nut to crack; it's unlikely he'll be able to get anything out of him anytime soon.
Jin Yusong was the interrogator he captured. Based on the family's intelligence and Jin Yuyi's confession, this person must know the cause of death of the Xia family members. Of course, if the Xia family members were not killed by the Jin family, then this person certainly wouldn't know either.
However, this is highly unlikely. The Akagi family is also surrounded by them and can only eke out a living on a few sacred mountains. They certainly cannot come out to cause trouble.
Therefore, Jin Yusong is very important. Since he cannot do it, he should be brought back to the family, and the family will have its own ways to solve the problem.
In this way, his task was considered complete.
Thinking that the mission was complete, he focused his attention on Jin Yuyi.
It seems this person is no longer of any use to me.
When Jin Yuyi saw his expression, she immediately realized what was going on and tried to run away. However, she was on a precipice with her magic sealed, so she had no way to escape.
Just as she was thinking about how to beg for mercy.
Xia Lianghe's expression suddenly changed drastically, despite his previously murderous aura.
Without hesitation, he grabbed Jin Yusong, then leaped onto his flying sword and sped off into the distance.
Jin Yuyi was left standing alone on the mountaintop, looking foolish.
The Lion-Tiger Eagle in the sky just sent a message that a Foundation Establishment cultivator is approaching, which is why Xia Lianghe is acting this way.
Since the Lion-Tiger-Eagle had already been upgraded to two levels, it naturally discovered the Foundation Establishment cultivator who had rushed over.
However, it was discovered too late. The Foundation Establishment cultivator had used some unknown means to be detected by the Lion-Tiger-Eagle with its not-so-sensitive sense of smell when he was within ten miles.
It seems he's about to be caught by that Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Xia Liang quickly recalled the tasks he had been performing, from his initial caution upon arrival, to capturing and interrogating Jin Yuyi, to having her send a message to the Jin family to report that she was safe, and then to his carefulness when capturing Jin Yusong...
After a long time, he still couldn't find the problem.
In the end, the problem could only be attributed to the methods used by that Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Less than 20 breaths after Xia Lianghe left, a Foundation Establishment cultivator appeared on the mountain peak.
