Chapter 408: Please Spare Me
However, the voices of the man and woman in the next room grew more intense, accompanied by the sound of things crashing.
Jiang Xinghai could no longer make out the sounds coming from the next room. To confirm whether it was Shen Lingyin, he bolted out of his own room and rushed to the door of the one next door.
The sounds from inside were even louder now!
A woman’s voice drifted out. "Please, let me go! I’ll give you any amount of money you want, just please don’t force me to do something I don’t want to do!"
Then came a man’s coarse, furious voice. "Money? Do I look like I give a damn? Do you think I care about money when I’m out having fun? You think you can escape my grasp? Stop your useless struggling!"
Hearing this, Jiang Xinghai was filled with absolute rage!
He could tell that the woman’s voice was none other than Shen Lingyin’s!
BAM!
Without a moment’s hesitation, Jiang Xinghai kicked the door open!
The moment the door flew open, the scene inside left Jiang Xinghai completely stunned!
A bald man was grabbing Shen Lingyin by the hair, viciously slamming her against the sofa!
Shen Lingyin was already limp on the sofa, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth!
"You’re courting death!"
Seeing this, Jiang Xinghai instantly charged into the room!
Startled by Jiang Xinghai’s sudden entrance, the bald man immediately let go of Shen Lingyin’s hair.
"You motherf—"
BAM!
Overcome with rage, Jiang Xinghai’s kick destroyed the man’s right to be a man.
"AWOOOO!!!"
The immense pain caused the bald man to let out a pig-butchering shriek as he clutched his body, trembling, and collapsed to the ground.
Jiang Xinghai hadn’t gone for a killing blow.
He wanted to leave this animal for Shen Lingyin to deal with personally!
"Brother Hai!!!" Shen Lingyin finally snapped out of it.
Jiang Xinghai pulled Shen Lingyin into his arms and said, "Lingyin, are you... are you okay?"
"I... I almost..." Shen Lingyin began to sob softly.
Hearing Shen Lingyin’s reply, Jiang Xinghai finally managed to calm down a little.
Jiang Xinghai carefully examined Shen Lingyin’s injuries and discovered a poison in her system!
"It’s actually Field Hunting Poison, which suppresses one’s Martial Arts cultivation!"
Jiang Xinghai was a master of medicine, so he naturally figured it out quickly. "I thought you’d be safe as long as you didn’t start trouble, especially with your cultivation as a Ninth-Grade Master. I never expected this... It’s my fault for being careless."
"No, it’s my fault for being too careless," Shen Lingyin said, her face full of misery.
Then, she recounted what had happened.
It turned out that she and Mu Jianni had been invited by classmates to go hiking today.
Among them were two senior female students.
Unexpectedly, those two senior girls were the ones who turned on them.
At the time, she had just gotten off the phone with Jiang Xinghai and was about to rest for a bit before heading down the mountain.
But halfway down, they were suddenly surrounded by a group of men who appeared out of nowhere.
There was a Grandmaster among them, someone even Shen Lingyin couldn’t fight against.
Moreover, the men had thrown a handful of white powder at them.
After that, they lost their Martial Arts cultivation.
"It’s okay now. You’ll recover your Martial Arts cultivation in a little while." Jiang Xinghai secretly circulated his True Qi, infusing it into Shen Lingyin’s Dantian.
"Oh no! Jianni and my classmates are still being held captive by them!" Shen Lingyin suddenly realized.
Jiang Xinghai shot to his feet. "Lingyin, you finish this animal off first, then we’ll go rescue Jianni and the others."
"Me? You want me to do it?" Shen Lingyin had never killed anyone before.
Jiang Xinghai nodded. "Since you’ve stepped onto the path of Martial Arts, you’ll have to face life-and-death bloodshed sooner or later. Start now."
He stared viciously at the screaming bald man on the floor, the fury in his heart churning like a roaring flame.
"Stop what you’re doing!"
Just then, the woman in shark-skin pants hurried over. "Boss Fang, Boss Fang, what’s wrong?!"
She glanced at Jiang Xinghai, then glared at Shen Lingyin, before starting to help the bald man up from the floor.
"My... my little brother is killing me!" the bald man wailed, curled up on the ground and clutching himself.
His trembling body, like that of a helpless clown, couldn’t conceal his agony.
"Did... did he do this?" the woman in shark-skin pants asked, pointing at Jiang Xinghai.
The bald man, drenched in a cold sweat, nodded viciously.
"You little shit, you f—"
"Get lost!"
Jiang Xinghai raised his hand and slapped her. Caught completely off guard, the woman in shark-skin pants was sent flying into the corner of the room.
"Lingyin, kill him," Jiang Xinghai said again.
Shen Lingyin clenched her jaw, her body trembling slightly.
Ever since stepping onto the path of Martial Arts, she had never been in a direct confrontation like this.
’But, just as Jiang Xinghai had said, since I’ve chosen the path of Martial Arts, I have to experience battle firsthand. It’s the only way to go further!’
"You dared to bully me? Go to hell!"
Steeling her resolve, Shen Lingyin raised her leg and repeatedly kicked the bald man’s "little brother."
One kick after another!
"AWOOOO!!!" The bald man let out another series of wretched howls.
Those kicks not only shattered his dignity, but his confidence as well.
