Chapter 255: Torture from Old Jiang (Part 1)

"This is... murderous intent?!"

The black-clad man's expression stalled, and the pupils in his eyes nearly shrank to pinpricks.

What arrived before the shock and fear was Jiang Ye's fist.

Bang—

That withered yet faint golden-lustered fist slammed toward the black-clad man's chest like a meteorite.

He instinctively wanted to dodge to the side, but his body acted sluggishly for that fatal instant under the shroud of murderous intent.

It was this instant.

Jiang Ye's fist edge was already imprinted on his chest.

The protective True Qi on his body was shattered directly as if it were made of paper.

Immediately after—

Crack...

Accompanied by the sound of bone cracking that made one's teeth ache, the black-clad man's chest directly caved in.

He was blasted backward more than ten meters by this giant force, slamming heavily into the hard cave wall, creating a deep human-shaped indentation in the mountain wall.

"Cough, cough..."

The black-clad man slid down from the cave wall, collapsed in the pile of broken stones, and emitted violent coughing sounds, spraying dark red blood foam mixed with internal organ fragments from the corners of his mouth with every cough.

Before he could catch his breath, Jiang Ye's figure had already appeared before him like a ghost, and he stepped down with another foot, hitting him right in the abdomen.

"Umm..."

Suffering another heavy blow, the black-clad man's body curled up like a shrimp whose tail had been stepped on, his whole body trembling uncontrollably, and he squeezed out a few hoarse words from his throat with difficulty:

"Don't... don't hit me..."

"I... I admit defeat..."

In fact, he had wanted to beg for mercy when he took the first punch.

But the force of that punch was too terrifying, and it hurt so much that he couldn't even catch his breath.

Jiang Ye's follow-up kick made him feel as if his five internal organs and six bowels had shifted positions.

If he didn't beg for mercy, the next strike would likely take his life.

Seeing the black-clad man actually beg for mercy directly, a strange look flashed in Jiang Ye's eyes.

He couldn't hold on after just two moves?

Such a cowardly demon was truly rare...

Compared to the "Six Demons of Yunling" back then, he was far behind.

However, seeing the black-clad man in such pain, he didn't continue to make a move.

He had already felt it; although this person was a Divine Qi Realm martial artist, he was very unresilient.

Jiang Ye leaned over and reached out to grope carefully on the black-clad man's pale face.

It was time to reveal the prize.

He wanted to see what the true face of this notorious Flower-Plucking Demon looked like.

Soon, he felt some unnatural wrinkles on the edge of the other party's cheekbones, and his fingertips exerted a little force.

That feminine mask was torn off in one piece.

The next instant.

Jiang Ye was suddenly startled, and the pupils in his aged eyes froze.

Because, the face revealed beneath the mask...

Was actually that Yin Qingqing he had seen in the Tianchu Hall?!

The personal disciple of the Danling Liu Fengzhu, the "kind-hearted and beautiful" Senior Sister Yin who treated injured disciples without charge.

The dream lover held in the palms of the Upper Sect male disciples was actually the Flower-Plucking Demon?

Jiang Ye's first reaction was that it was impossible.

It wasn't because this woman's status was special.

But because she was a woman.

How could a woman pluck flowers.

What could she pluck with...

"Could it be that this is also a fake face, and the Flower-Plucking Demon disguised himself as Yin Qingqing..."

This thought flashed through Jiang Ye's mind, and he reached out again to grope carefully over Yin Qingqing's face.

His fingertips probed every inch of skin from the forehead to the cheekbones, from the bridge of the nose to the jaw, not even letting go of the place behind the earlobes where mask seams were easiest to hide.

As a result, after groping for a long time, he didn't find any traces of disguise at all.

This face was extremely likely to be a real face.

Jiang Ye withdrew his hand in disbelief and probed slowly downward.

"Umm..."

The black-clad man, who was gasping for breath, suddenly let out a soft moan.

Jiang Ye hurriedly retracted his hand, but his brows furrowed even tighter.

He still didn't believe it, lifted the black-clad man's thigh, and two clusters of red-gold flames suddenly rose in his eyes.

All the truth was presented before his eyes.

A moment later.

Jiang Ye's breathing suddenly became a bit heavier, and he hurriedly closed his Fire Eyes.

This time, he finally confirmed it.

This black-clad man was indeed a woman...

And even the barrier was still there...

She was actually still a virgin.

That is to say, the true face of this black-clad man was Yin Qingqing.

Jiang Ye stood up slowly, looking at Yin Qingqing, who was gasping for breath under the mountain wall, with a strange look, his thoughts turning rapidly.

There were too many mysteries about this woman.

As a woman, how could she be a Flower-Plucking Demon?

And, she laid a hand on men; how did she maintain her virginity?

More critically, she also knew Gu art.

This was a secret art unique to the Miaozhou Gu Sect.

How could it appear in the hands of a Danling Peak disciple of the Linzhou Upper Sect?

For a time, Jiang Ye only felt that this seemingly weak and harmless woman was even more confusing than he had imagined.

He wasn't in a hurry to interrogate her, just stood there with his hands behind his back, looking down at the other party.

After a good while.

Yin Qingqing, who was lying on the ground, finally recovered.

She struggled to lean her back against the mountain wall; the sunken injury on her chest made her gasp in pain with every movement. Yet, on that face as pale as paper, she forced a bleak smile and sighed:

"This is fate..."

"A dignified Upper Sect deacon is actually a member of the Qisha Sect."

Her Gu art was invincible against Divine Qi Realm martial artists, fearing only murderous intent.

Because murderous intent could break all laws.

As a result, she happened to run into it today.

Jiang Ye smiled faintly:

"Being able to use murderous intent doesn't mean I am a member of the Qisha Sect."

"On the contrary, Miss Yin, you are the personal disciple of the Danling Liu Fengzhu, yet your secret identity is the notorious Flower-Plucking Demon."

"This is the truly shocking thing, right."

Yin Qingqing tilted her head, gasping for breath, and a miserable smile appeared on that face that was born with affinity:

"Elder Jiang, even if you catch me back to the Upper Sect, no one will believe that I am the Flower-Plucking Demon."

Jiang Ye nodded slightly.

Indeed...

With Yin Qingqing's status in the Upper Sect, who would believe she was the notorious Flower-Plucking Demon?

If he really caught her back to the Upper Sect, let alone not getting the twenty thousand contribution points, he might be the one in trouble first.

However, since she had fallen into his hands.

Then today, there were plenty of ways to eat her dry and clean.

Jiang Ye stepped forward and said coldly:

"The chat time is over."

"From now on, I ask a question, and you answer it."

"If you don't cooperate, you know my methods."

Judging from Yin Qingqing's performance just now, this woman was quite afraid of pain and had a soft backbone; with a little physical means, she simply wouldn't be able to hold up.

Sure enough, upon hearing the word "methods," Yin Qingqing's body trembled violently, and she raised her hands high in a gesture of surrender, a pitiful, bitter smile appearing on her pale face:

"Elder Jiang, feel free to ask; Qingqing will definitely tell everything she knows."

"As long as you don't make a move again, it really hurts so much..."

Jiang Ye first asked the question he cared about most: "You are a woman; how do you pluck flowers?" ===== CHAPTER 256 =====
