In a fit of anger, Jiang Yun used a vicious technique on Shen Yi, dislocating his right wrist with a swift motion. Before Shen Yi could even let out a cry of pain, Jiang Yun swiftly replicated the same move, dislocating his left arm as well.
"Ah!" After Jiang Yun released his grip and pushed Shen Yi away, he finally collapsed to the ground, letting out a miserable scream.
Jiang Yun walked past Shen Yi and helped Wen Wan up, gently guiding her towards the inner hall. He spoke softly, "Stay inside, close the door behind you, and don't look or listen. Cover your ears."
"If you don't want to die, it's best not to test my patience," Jiang Yun warned.
Shen Yi had just intended to seize the moment when Jiang Yun escorted Wen Wan into the house to escape from this place. However, Jiang Yun's icy voice resounded in his ears, freezing him in place. His legs refused to take another step, and his hands hung limply at his sides. Shen Yi spoke with a malicious tone, "Jiang Yun, don't push me too far. My master will make you pay twice as much."
Shen Yi couldn't understand how Jiang Yun, who showed no sign of spiritual energy throughout his body, managed to dodge Shen Yi's dagger attack just moments ago. Although Shen Yi had no knowledge of martial arts, he possessed the strength of the Fourth Layer of Body Tempering. Faced with a supposed waste who couldn't cultivate, he couldn't comprehend how the situation had suddenly turned against him.
Jiang Yun extended his right leg and hooked it around Shen Yi's left knee, causing Shen Yi to fall to the ground once again. With a tap and a twist of his hands on Shen Yi's knee, Jiang Yun dislocated another joint.
Ignoring Shen Yi's screams, Jiang Yun sat on a chair, observing Shen Yi as if he were looking at a broken dog. He spoke, "This martial technique of mine specializes in dislocating joints and breaking bones. You still have your right leg and neck intact, which means you have two more chances to speak freely."
Shen Yi immediately ceased his screams. Though his eyes were filled with intense hatred towards Jiang Yun, his actions conveyed the fear that Jiang Yun had instilled in him.
"From now on, I ask, and you answer. If I don't tell you to speak, you keep your mouth shut, understood?" Jiang Yun said expressionlessly.
"Understood," Shen Yi nodded quickly.
*Crack!*
Jiang Yun stepped on Shen Yi's right knee, shattering the kneecap. Jiang Yun's voice sounded like that of a demon, "Have I allowed you to speak yet?"
Shen Yi glared at Jiang Yun with intense hatred, his mouth tightly closed, not daring to utter a single scream.
"It seems you understand now," Jiang Yun looked satisfied as he glanced at Shen Yi, who kept his mouth shut. "Now, I will ask you. Did your master send you here?"
"Yes."
"You see, as long as you cooperate, I won't lay a hand on you," Jiang Yun continued, "What did you mean when you said earlier that this medicine hall now belongs to Xiao Kuan?"
"Although you used to manage this medicine hall, the land deed was still held by the Jiang family. This morning, Young Master Xiao went to the Jiang family and acquired the land deed of this medicine hall. That's why I said it now belongs to Young Master Xiao," Shen Yi explained.
Jiang Yun's face darkened slightly as he immediately understood the situation. This Qianjin Medicine Hall was his father's private property, but since his father was the head of the Jiang family, all the assets were kept within the family. After his father's unexpected death and their expulsion from the Jiang family, the only thing they were left with was this medicine hall. However, the Jiang family had kept a trump card and retained the land deed. Seizing the opportunity to deal with Jiang Yun, they sold the land deed to Xiao Kuan.
"Xiao Kuan said he wouldn't let me live for more than seven days. He must have some follow-up plans. Tell me about it," Jiang Yun recalled Xiao Kuan's arrogant laughter and the look of hatred in his eyes.
A hint of delight flashed in Shen Yi's eyes, but he dared not show it. He could only speak, "The master told me to come and assess the severity of your injuries." In fact, he didn't finish the sentence. Xiao Kuan would soon come personally, and then he could turn the tables and torment Jiang Yun mercilessly.
"Ah!"
Shen Yi let out a scream as Jiang Yun suddenly stepped on his left palm, reigniting the suppressed anger in his eyes.
"I don't like it when people speak half-truths," Jiang Yun retracted his right foot.
"Jiang Yun, you're as good as dead. The master will be here soon, and you can wait for your death. I will watch you die slowly. By the way, your mother is quite beautiful. I think you will definitely die watching her," Shen Yi, driven insane by Jiang Yun's torture, shouted hysterically and laughed manically.
Jiang Yun picked up the fallen dagger from the ground and instantly plunged it into Shen Yi's right palm. With a cold smirk, he said, "If you still want to keep watching, it's best to shut your mouth. Don't speak unless I ask you, and don't hide anything when I question you. The next cut won't be on your palm." He glanced at Shen Yi's crotch before continuing.
Shen Yi became obedient again, although his mouth remained shut, he cursed Jiang Yun with the most vicious thoughts in his heart.
"Just now you said Xiao Kuan would be here soon. Is it true? Is he coming alone or with others?" Jiang Yun frowned and asked. He had just broken through his meridians and hadn't had time to cultivate. If Xiao Kuan came with people of a higher realm, Jiang Yun would be no match for them.
"Of course, it's true. The master is at the Qi Martial Stage 2. Why would he need others to deal with a waste like you?" Shen Yi replied.
"Oh, so you mean he's coming alone?" Jiang Yun secretly rejoiced. If it was only Xiao Kuan himself, a Qi Martial Stage 2 warrior, Jiang Yun might have a chance to kill him with his martial skills.
Regarding Xiao Kuan, the person who vowed not to let him live for more than seven days, Jiang Yun had already developed the intent to kill.
"I don't know for sure. There should be a few subordinates, as the master won't personally dirty his hands with some dirty work," Shen Yi replied. Just as he finished speaking, footsteps were heard outside the street. His face brightened, and his gaze focused on the entrance.
Jiang Yun heard the footsteps before Shen Yi. Based on the sound, there were no more than seven people, with one being at the Qi Martial Stage and the rest at the Body Martial Stage. Jiang Yun thought to himself, "The main figure has arrived."
"Bang!"
The door was kicked open, and the first person to enter was a rich young man dressed in silk garments. Behind him, five followers followed closely.
"Young master, save me."
Shen Yi's eyes filled with joy when he saw the newcomer, but he maintained a miserable expression on his face, making his plea for help sound truly pitiful.
Jiang Yun ignored Xiao Kuan's words and continued to exert pressure on Shen Yi's mouth with his foot. He casually said, "I've already told you, no one can save you today."
The moment Xiao Kuan entered the room, he saw the scene in the hall. Shen Yi lay on the ground like a dead dog, moaning in pain from time to time, while Jiang Yun sat calmly in his chair.
Even dogs look at their owners.
Xiao Kuan's face darkened as he watched Jiang Yun casually trample on Shen Yi as if he were nothing. A surge of anger rose within him. Shen Yi had been with him for many years, efficient and pleasing to Xiao Kuan. Seeing him in such a pitiful state, Xiao Kuan spoke in a deep voice, "Jiang Yun, if you want to die quickly, stop torturing Shen Yi."
