It was obvious that this kick was not light.
Yan Baoru was lying on the ground, coughing up blood. Her body was trembling, and her eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. The excruciating pain was secondary, what was more important was the heartache. Who was she? She was ranked second on the Pill List, a world-renowned expert. Now, she was being abused by a person she viewed as an ant. She really wanted to peel off Niu Youdao's skin and pull out his tendons.
However, the situation was beyond her control. No matter how unwilling she was, there was nothing she could do.
She did not want to fall. She did not want to fall at the feet of Niu Youdao. She struggled to get up.
With two swishing sounds, the Sword Qi swept past. Grass fragments flew everywhere. The grass around her that was taller than a person was neatly cut, exposing her struggling body.
She tilted her head and saw the expressionless Niu Youdao walking over the grass at a moderate speed with a sword in his hand.
Although it was difficult, she still wanted to get up.
Niu Youdao stopped in front of her. He raised his leg and stepped on her back. She was easily pressed to the ground, unable to get up.
Niu Youdao looked down from above, coldly looking at her pathetic appearance. Her body was covered in blood stains, her exquisite makeup was ruined, her neat and dignified hair was messed up, and her body was covered in grass. That cold and elegant charm lost its beauty after losing its dignity.
Seeing her struggling under his foot, Niu Youdao asked, "Speak. Why did you harm me?"
Yan Baoru was ashamed and angry to be stepped on by such a person. She hissed, "Kill me if you can!" The meaning behind her words seemed to be that she would not yield to him.
Niu Youdao replied with an "Oh" and looked around. His eyes paused on a mud brick in front of him for a moment and then fell on Yan Baoru who was at his feet. "I didn't expect you to be so courageous! Actually, I hate fighting and killing the most. I've traveled the Jianghu, and I've seen a lot of life and death situations. Slowly, I've learned how to behave properly and understand the true meaning of 'let people off when possible'. My heart has softened, and I've always felt that there's something that can't be discussed nicely. Why are you covered in blood and hostility? I really don't want to go too far with you. You should understand my painstaking efforts. "
Yan Baoru laughed bitterly, "You are a cat crying for a mouse! Kill me. Kill me now! "
Niu Youdao, "You are a beautiful woman. How many men love you? With your ability, there are plenty of opportunities for you to find a good man to flirt with. That's what beautiful women like you should do. Licking blood on the edge of a knife really isn't suitable for a beautiful person like you. Think about it, how good it is to have a man who loves you so much. Why do you want to die? Am I right? "
Yan Baoru scolded, "There is no good man. You think …" Before she could finish her words, she was stepped on by a foot from behind.
"Stop! I have heard too many stories from women. They all say that men are heartless. " Niu Youdao brushed the messy hair on her face with the sword in his hand. "In the eyes of women, there are many scumbags and in the eyes of men, there are many bitches. It is meaningless to talk about right and wrong. Now is not the time to tell stories. You know, there are too many beasts that like to smell blood in this damn place."
Yan Baoru said angrily, "Who do you think you are? Kill me if you want! "
"I have said all the good things, but you don't appreciate it. Fine!" Niu Youdao poked her face with the sword in his hand. "I remember you said before that you like to be clean and asked me to cooperate with you. You said that you don't want to dirty your hands. You threatened me like this before, right? "
The moment he said this, Yan Baoru realized something. She subconsciously retracted her hand that was lying on the ground.
However, it was already too late. The sword light in Niu Youdao's hand flashed, and the sword in his hand pierced down cleanly like a nail. There was not the slightest bit of hesitation.
"Ah!" Yan Baoru, who was trampled on the ground, raised his head and let out a miserable scream. His entire body was trembling in pain. One of his jade-like palms was nailed to the ground by Niu Youdao's sword. One-third of the length of the sword was nailed into the ground.
The person who said that they could talk nicely just a moment ago had killed her in the blink of an eye.
The foot that was stepping on her back was released, and the hand that was holding the sword also loosened. Niu Youdao released his foot and took two steps back. He said expressionlessly, "I've already said that I don't like to fight and kill, and I dislike killing people even more. Since you want to die, I will give you a chance. I will give you the sword. Kill yourself and I will bury you properly later. I will not let your corpse be exposed in the wilderness. Repaying evil with good, is that good enough? "
The trembling Yan Baoru tried to get up a few times but to no avail. With her hand nailed to the ground, it was indeed difficult for her to get up.
Niu Youdao looked on coldly from the side. He realized that this woman's cultivation was indeed profound. She was able to withstand his Qiankun Palm until now.
Finally, Yan Baoru got up. She knelt on the ground and pulled out the sword hilt. She groaned in pain.
Her hand that was nailed to the ground was freed. She trembled in pain and raised the sword to her neck. However, she could not make up her mind to kill herself. Was she going to die just like this?
Niu Youdao coldly stared at the changes in her expression.
Suddenly, Yan Baoru seemed to have gone mad. She swung her sword and charged at Niu Youdao.
However, based on her current condition, how could she kill Niu Youdao? Niu Youdao grabbed her hand and took the sword from her hand.
Yan Baoru fell to the ground in pain and despair.
"If you don't dare to die, why are you putting on airs in front of me?" Niu Youdao was suddenly enraged. He grabbed her hair and dragged her away.
Yan Baoru screamed and slapped Niu Youdao's arm.
Niu Youdao ignored her. He grabbed her hair and dragged her along the grass, dragging her all the way to the adobe in front of them.
The adobe was previously hidden in the tall grass. Now that the grass was cut down by his sword aura, the adobe was exposed. There were ants crawling around the destroyed adobe. It was obviously the nest of the ants.
Niu Youdao dragged her to the front of the adobe. With a fierce expression, he pulled her hair to show her the nest in front of her.
Yan Baoru widened her eyes and screamed in fear, "What are you trying to do?"
Niu Youdao did not say anything. He grabbed her hair and slammed her head against the adobe. Bang! He broke through the layer of soil and forcefully pushed her head into the nest.
The body under her head struggled violently. She kept moaning inside the adobe.
Niu Youdao didn't allow her to deeply experience the feeling as he pulled her head out again.
A large number of ants crawled on her face and hair. It looked a little scary. The ants even started to crawl on her body. She shook her head to shake them off.
Niu Youdao grabbed her hair and squatted in front of her. He whispered in her ear, "I used to dig holes underground. Later on, I understood that the scariest thing is for a living person to live the life of a dead person. Do you know how I used to deal with women like you who don't know what's good for them? I won't let her die so easily. I'll bury her underground and feed her with a tube. She won't be able to die or live. I'll let her live underground without moving. In less than three days, she'll answer whatever I ask her honestly. I'll let you enjoy that feeling later. Now, I'll let you have a good taste of it. "
After he finished speaking, he invoked his arts to open her mouth. She couldn't close it. He grabbed her hair and was about to push her head into the nest again.
Yan Baoru widened her eyes and mumbled, "Speak … I'll speak …"
Niu Youdao stopped and restored her chin. He asked, "What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly. "
"I'll speak!" Yan Baoru cried. She was so scared that she cried. She cried bitterly, "Tong Mo, it was Great Minister of Public Works, Tong Mo, who asked me to kill you."
Tong Mo? Niu Youdao furrowed his brows and pulled her up. He invoked his arts and shook her body, shaking off the ants on her body.
Then, he grabbed the back of her collar and dragged her further away from the anthill. First, he cast a restriction spell on her body to control her bleeding. Then, he pressed his palm on her back and used the Art of Heaven and Earth to help her resolve the two kinds of cold and hot torment in her body.
These injuries were nothing. Only when the pain was gone would she feel truly relieved.
Yan Baoru slowly recovered from the pain. She sat on the ground in a daze, battered and exhausted. She looked like she had lost her soul.
Once she opened her mouth and begged for mercy, the pride of the second-ranked expert on the Pill Rankings was completely destroyed.
Niu Youdao stood in front of her with his sword. He asked, "Tong Mo asked you to kill me? Was he instructed by Shang Jianxiong? "
Yan Baoru fell to the ground. She said blankly, "Shang Jianxiong? I don't know. Tong Mo found out that I wanted to enter the Heaven Capital Mystic Realm. He contacted me and asked me to kill you. He said that you couldn't return alive. I asked him why he wanted to kill you. He said that this was an opportunity. He said that if you died, Nanzhou might fall into internal strife. The imperial court would then have the chance to regain control of Nanzhou. I said that Yan and Zhao were at war. He said that it wasn't important. To deal with external threats, we must first stabilize the internal situation! I was just asking. It doesn't matter to me why I want to kill you. "
Niu Youdao: "With your status, you should be free. Why would you be his lackey? Why would you listen to him obediently?"
Yan Baoru: "I'm just a wandering cultivator. How can I be free without money? I've been enjoying his offerings, and he's been providing me with financial support in secret, while I've been helping him to the best of my ability when he's in trouble. "
So that's how it was. Niu Youdao understood. He asked again, "How did you keep up with me before?"
He had asked Situ Yao about the details. Situ Yao didn't mention that this woman was involved. Situ Yao even said that Chu Fengping intentionally hid it from the other two clans.
So he didn't understand. Since Chu Fengping intentionally hid it from the others, why would he find this woman who wasn't easy to control? Was there some other reason? Or was Situ Yao intentionally hiding it? Or was there someone else besides Yan Baoru? He had to get to the bottom of this. This was also one of the reasons why he forced her to speak.
"It was Elder Li Wuhua of the Ten Thousand Heavenly Cave Palace. I didn't know his goal. He found me …" Yan Baoru told him about how Li Wuhua found her.
