Chapter 63: Six Hundred Thousand

Half an hour later, Liu Shengnan sat down in front of Jiang Xincheng, staring fiercely at him. “Using such a cruel method on a woman, don’t you think it’s too much?”

“Using this method on a woman who wanted to cripple me, I think it’s quite merciful. At least I didn’t kill you,” Jiang Xincheng said with a faint smile.

Liu Shengnan gritted her teeth. “What do you plan to do with me?”

“Your Liu Clan has many experts. If I anger the young ones, the elders will come. I don’t want to offend the Liu Clan too much, so I won’t kill you. However, you need to pay a ransom for your life as compensation,” Jiang Xincheng said with a smile, not letting Liu Shengnan know that he had planted a hidden force within her body. Over the next year, Liu Shengnan’s Primordial Force would struggle to improve, and after a year, her Meridians and Dantian would be ruined, leaving her in unbearable suffering.

For an enemy who wanted to cripple him, Jiang Xincheng would not show mercy. If not for his caution regarding the Liu Clan’s power and his reluctance to provoke them to the point of death, he would have crippled Liu Yifeng, Liu Yijun, and Liu Shengnan immediately, making them taste unbearable suffering.

“I wanted to cripple you, but you won and didn’t cripple me, only asking for compensation. That’s fair,” Liu Shengnan nodded, her attitude straightforward, far better than Liu Yijun and Liu Yifeng. “Give me your anonymous bank card number. I only have two hundred thousand here, and I’ll transfer it all to you. If you don’t believe me, you can check for yourself whether I really have only this much money.”

“Two hundred thousand is already quite a lot, much more than those shameless Liu Yijun and Liu Yifeng. Transfer it over,” Jiang Xincheng gave his anonymous bank card number to Liu Shengnan and soon received two hundred thousand Credit Points.

At this moment, the number of Credit Points in his anonymous bank card had reached six hundred thousand, enough for him to use for a long time.

Having received the money and left a “gift” for Liu Shengnan, Jiang Xincheng smiled slightly and turned to leave. “Goodbye, beautiful. Tell your Liu Clan members that I have no intention of opposing them, as long as they don’t provoke me. Bye for now, next time…”

Before Jiang Xincheng could finish his sentence, he felt a chill run through his body. Without thinking, he immediately dashed toward the nearby bamboo grove.

“Bang, bang, bang…”

…

Liu Shengnan, who had been sitting on the ground behind him, actually pulled out a black handgun from her bosom and ambushed Jiang Xincheng from behind. Jiang Xincheng dodged quickly, but no matter how fast he was, he couldn’t outrun a bullet. He was only a Primordial Warrior at the Mid Tendon-Training Stage.

Three bullets struck Jiang Xincheng, hitting his shoulder, back, and buttocks. Fortunately, tempered by the Mutated Yuan Crystal and with his strength at the Mid Tendon-Training Stage, his body was quite tough. Although the bullets hit him, they only penetrated halfway before Jiang Xincheng used a clever technique of Primordial Force to clamp them in his muscles.

If not for this, these three bullets would have severely injured Jiang Xincheng, even causing fatal harm. Luckily, his body had just been tempered by the Mutated Yuan Crystal, and he had returned from decades later, knowing some special techniques for using Primordial Force, which allowed him to survive Liu Shengnan’s deadly ambush.

Once he hid in the bamboo grove, Jiang Xincheng’s face turned dark. He used Misleading Steps to retreat deep into the grove, avoiding Liu Shengnan’s remaining bullets. Then he picked up several stones and, through the dense bamboo grove, threw them toward where he remembered Liu Shengnan was.

“Ah…”

A scream came from Liu Shengnan dozens of meters away; she had been hit by the stones Jiang Xincheng threw.

“Bang, bang, bang…”

…

Three more gunshots rang out, but Jiang Xincheng, already prepared, easily dodged them. He then threw stones from behind the dense bamboo grove. The stones, carrying a fierce force, landed on Liu Shengnan, breaking her skin and making her bleed.

Liu Shengnan quickly dodged, crawling to change her position. While she was crawling, Jiang Xincheng spotted her through the bamboo thicket and threw another stone. It struck her head hard, opening several wounds, and blood flowed continuously.

Heaven’s punishments can be endured, but self-inflicted ones cannot. Jiang Xincheng had originally planned to let her go, but he never expected this woman, who seemed rough and wild, to be so vicious and cruel, attempting to kill him. How could Jiang Xincheng let her go now?

His caution regarding the Liu Clan’s power was not out of fear. The reason Jiang Xincheng hadn’t directly crippled Liu Yijun, Liu Yifeng, and this vicious woman Liu Shengnan earlier was only to avoid too much trouble for himself. He wanted more time to cultivate and reach the peak as soon as possible.

But if the other side insisted on his death, Jiang Xincheng would retaliate in kind, tooth for tooth and blood for blood, never letting them off easy. Since Liu Shengnan brought this upon herself, Jiang Xincheng would ensure her death. Who knew what madness this vicious woman might commit if she weren’t killed?

You can’t guard against a thief for a thousand days, and Jiang Xincheng couldn’t be on constant alert against an enemy’s ambush, especially from a crazy woman with a gun.

“Bang, bang, bang, bang…”

Liu Shengnan, her head covered in blood, fired wildly into the bamboo grove, trying to hit Jiang Xincheng. She was now on the verge of collapse, having lost too much blood. If the standoff continued a little longer, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, having lived here for so long, Jiang Xincheng knew the bamboo grove like the back of his hand. As Liu Shengnan fired, Jiang Xincheng had already hidden behind a large rock in the grove. Liu Shengnan didn’t hit Jiang Xincheng with a single shot.

When the gunfire ceased, Jiang Xincheng suddenly leaped out. Two stones flew from his hands and struck Liu Shengnan’s hands. With sharp “crack, crack” sounds, Jiang Xincheng broke Liu Shengnan’s hands, and she could no longer fire the gun.

Jiang Xincheng leaped forward and landed beside Liu Shengnan. He raised his foot and stomped on Liu Shengnan, breaking both her legs.

“You actually crippled my legs! The Liu Clan won’t let you get away with this!” Liu Shengnan screamed while threatening Jiang Xincheng.

Jiang Xincheng sneered, raised his foot again, and stomped heavily on Liu Shengnan’s back, crushing her spine. “Crippling your legs is nothing. I’ll also cripple your spine and make you a cripple.”

“Jiang Xincheng, I will kill you! I will definitely kill you! How dare you destroy me? I won’t let you go!” Liu Shengnan lay on the ground, feeling the extreme pain in her back, and couldn’t help but scream wildly. Her expression was extremely ferocious. “The Liu Clan won’t let you go! You’re finished! You’re dead! I will grind your bones to dust and chop your body into pieces! I will kill your whole family and destroy your friends!”

Watching the frenzied Liu Shengnan and hearing her vicious declarations, Jiang Xincheng sneered. “Only if you have the chance.”
