845 Unrepentant
As he spoke, Jiang Ming took out a silver needle and inserted it into one of Chu Nanxingâs acupuncture points.
Chu Nanxing immediately gasped. He felt like his entire body was about to explode, but he could not escape the pain.
He bared his teeth and said to Jiang Ming, âYou canât save Xia Chenjing. Even if you kill me, itâs useless. Moreover, the longer you waste time, the faster he will die.â
As he spoke, he could not help but laugh.
âIf you tie him up now, he wonât be able to struggle or touch you. Even if you save him, heâll still be a cripple. As a general, how can he afford to be crippled? Do you think heâll still thank you for saving him? He would wish that heâd rather have died.â
Jiang Ming could not help but come back to his senses.
Jiang Ming simply searched for the jade pendant on Chu Nanxingâs body before tying him up with a rope.
After finding the jade pendant, he walked to Xia Chenjingâs side.
Xia Chenjing was about to be crippled as Chu Nanxing said, but when he saw the jade pendant in Jiang Mingâs hand, he could not help but stop flailing.
Jiang Ming noticed Xia Chenjingâs expression and probably understood that Xia Chenjing only listened to this jade pendant.
He then waved the jade pendant in front of Xia Chenjing and said to Xia Chenjing, âI am your master now.â
Xia Chenjingâs eyes suddenly became cloudy again. He said to Jiang Ming obediently, âYes, you are my master.â
âYou are not allowed to cripple yourself. Just stay here obediently.â
Jiang Ming instructed Xia Chenjing.
âYes, Iâll listen to your orders,â Xia Chenjing quickly replied.
Jiang Ming was very satisfied with Xia Chenjingâs words and said to Chu Nanxing, âNow that everything is settled, I think you should hand over the antidote obediently. That way, I can still leave your corpse intact.â
Chu Nanxing gritted his teeth and said, âAt most, Iâll just die. Anyway, I wonât die alone. Iâm not afraid of anything.â
Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows. He did not expect Chu Nanxing to be so disobedient. He simply inserted another needle into his neck.
Chu Nanxing immediately felt itchy and uncomfortable all over and could not help but scream.
Even when he shouted until his throat went hoarse, it did not relieve the itching.
âAre you sure you want to keep being like this? Do you want to be tortured to death?â
Jiang Mingâs voice echoed in the sky above Chu Nanxing.
Chu Nanxingâs eyelids felt heavy. Then, he had no choice but to say to Jiang Ming, âOkay, you have the final say. Iâll tell you how to save Xia Chenjing now, but you have to let me go. Otherwise, even if you save him, heâll still be paralyzed.â
âI want you to tell me everything.â
Jiang Ming smiled and inserted another needle into Chu Nanxingâs neck.
The needle pierced Chu Nanxingâs vital spot.
Chu Nanxing immediately started crying. His entire body trembled as if he had gone mad.
Seeing Chu Nanxing like this, Jiang Ming followed him and said, âIf you dare cripple Xia Chenjing, Iâll cripple you first. I know youâre in unbearable pain right now. I can make you suffer like that for a lifetime if you donât cooperate.â
Chu Nanxing still gritted his teeth and said, âIf thatâs the case, then I might as well die from the pain. I donât care anyway. I donât have any family.â
Seeing Chu Nanxing being so persistent, Jiang Ming decided to search his body.
Chu Nanxing was extremely nervous.
Jiang Ming found a pill.
That pill was the same as the one he saw earlier.
âI heard that this pill is able to bring people back from the dead.â Jiang Ming thought for a moment and said to Chu Nanxing, âIf I give this pill to Xia Chenjing and kill him, wouldnât Xia Chenjing be given a new life?â
Jiang Ming had made a lucky guess. He never expected his deductions to be correct.
Chu Nanxing also knew that he had completely failed. Then, he said, âCan you let me go? I will be a good person in the future. I will also cure Xia Chenjing completely.â
âTell me first, why did you send people to hunt me down?â
Jiang Ming directly asked what he wanted to know.
Chu Nanxing pursed his lips and finally admitted something he did not want to admit.
âIâm jealous of you. Iâm in contact with the residents of the Snowy Kingdom. Some of the residents you met at the beginning are still alive. Someone came to inform me, and I heard about your existence. I was afraid that you would steal my position, and I didnât expect your abilities to be so outstanding. I wanted to kill you or use you as my puppet. Who knew that you would not be affected at all by the jade pendant or the eyes of the residents? This is the first time Iâve seen someone like you.â
Although Chu Nanxing hated Jiang Ming very much, he had to admit that Jiang Ming was very strong. He could not help but feel envious.
Jiang Ming was also curious about how he had such an ability, but he felt that it was a good thing. He said, âEvil will be rewarded with evil, and good will be rewarded with good. Youâve done all kinds of bad things, so you were punished in this manner. Now tell me how to save Xia Chenjing.â
Jiang Mingâs eyes were fixed on Xia Chenjing. He was afraid that Xia Chenjing would commit suicide.
Who knew what would happen to the jade pendant then?
Chu Nanxing completely admitted defeat. He sighed deeply and said to Jiang Ming, âIf Xia Chenjing consumes my blood, it can heal him, and he can recover.â
âIs that so?â
Jiang Ming didnât believe Chu Nanxing and asked again.
He felt that Chu Nanxing was very cunning.
Chu Nanxing laughed bitterly. âIâve already become like this. Do you still think Iâll lie to you? â
Jiang Ming thought about it and felt that it made sense. Then, he took out a silver needle.
Blood immediately gushed out of Chu Nanxingâs body. Jiang Ming took out some blood and gave it to Xia Chenjing.
Xia Chenjingâs eyes suddenly became clear. He looked at Jiang Ming blankly and said, âWhat happened to me?â
âYou were being controlled. How do you feel now?â
Jiang Ming untied the rope.
Xia Chenjing patted his forehead and said, âI feel like Iâve lost my memory. I donât even know what Iâve done. â
âItâs good that you donât remember.â
