"Who are you?" Shu Xian snarled, "Do you know who the fuck I am!?"
"Get me ou-!"
*bang*
Shu Xian suddenly felt intense pain all over his face.
Before he could think of anything, another wave of pain spread through his stomach!
"Who *cough* are you!?" Shu Xian managed to ask again.
*bang!*
Shu Xian clenched his eyes close, but instead of pain, he only felt a whiff of air pass by.
Slowly opening his eyes, he found his kidnapper had his leg just right beside his head!
Just an inch away!
If that kick had landed on him, his head would have gotten crushed.
"What do you want?" Shu Xian's tone was a bit submissive this time.
"Heh, finally, you're asking the right question." Shu Xian could 'see' the smirk on his abductor's face, even though the room had very dim light.
"Well, I don't want much, just a few things here and there." Shu Xian heard the next words.
He frowned and asked, "What is it?"
"Heh, well, not much. Just everything about you."
"Wha-What?" Shu Xian got confused even more.
"What do you want to know about me?"
"As I said, I want to know everything. So, have this pill." Shu Xian felt something get shoved in his mouth.
Before he could react, the pill had already melted as soon as it touched his lips.
Even though he tried to spit, he still felt the taste of the pill - that meant he had already stepped into the trap.
"What was that?" SHu XIan gritted his teeth.
He saw the smirk once again on that guy, "Nothing much, just something that will blow up one finger every time you lie."
"Bullshit!" Shu Xian disdained such a claim.
He had never heard of such a thing, and he was part of the elite group in poison arts.
"You can try lying. Let's see if you still smirk after that, heh."
Hearing the condescending tone, Shu Xian hesitated.
He wasn't an idiot. He wouldn't risk his fingers getting blown off just to prove someone else wrong.
"Oh? So you're afraid now? Heh, then let's not waste any more time."
Shu Xian frowned as his abductor continued to say, "Answer me about a few things, and I will let you off."
"Let me off?" Shu Xian smirked, "Do you think I am an idiot?"
"Well, no, I don't think you're an idiot. But you're also not important enough."
"What do you mean?" Shu Xian scowled. He hated when someone called him a nobody.
"Woah-woah, offended? So easily? That's not nice of you, Disciple Twenty Two."
"You-!" The words got stuck in his throat for some time.
"What- you- you- what did you call me!?" Shu Xian finally stammered out his thoughts.
"Well, Disciple Twenty Two, tell me three things, and I will let you off."
Shu Xian calmed himself but didn't say anything.
However, his abductor was not affected by this.
"The first thing, tell me about major events in your life, and our relatives. Dead or alive."
Shu Xian narrowed his eyes, "I will tell you, but first, tell me who you ar-!"
*bang!*
Shu Xian suddenly felt the leg that was just beside his head move and strike him, forcing his body to fall sideways.
*bang!*
"Ugh-!" Shu Xian gritted his teeth and tried to fight off the pain as another kick landed on his stomach.
The intense pain forced him to curve into a ball shape.
"I am the one who's asking questions here. Just fuckin' tell me what I want, and that will save both of our time." These words echoed in Shu Xian's head.
"*cough*!" Blood spitted out of his mouth as he mustered himself to say something.
"Ugh- who- who- whoever you are, you're in big trouble!" Shu Xian said, "The commotion you caused will soon lead to an investigation, and disciplinary hall disciples will soon come *cough* they will soon come knocking on the door!"
"It won't be long before you get caught, hehe!" Shu Xian's face had a dirty smile as he showed his blood-covered teeth.
*pack!*
"Ah!!!" Agonizing shouts from pain rang throughout the room as Shu Xian failed to blood pour throughout his mouth.
Moving his tongue, he found that his teeth were missing!
Shivering in pain, he looked up.
His eyes showed a mixture of hate and fear.
"You still want to talk bullshit with me!?"
*bang!*
Another kick slammed right into his stomach.
"You bastard-!"
*bang!*
"Fuck you-!"
*bang!* *pouck!*
"You-!"
*bang!*
"Ugh- why- why are you doing this to me!?" Shu Xian couldn't even keep his eyes open.
"Hais, this guy… just tell me about yourself. That's it. Shu Xian, why do you want to get beaten up? Do you like it? If so, then just say yes. You will get the most revealing experience today, hehehe."
Shu Xian had never hated someone's laugh as much as he hated it right now.
He vowed to himself.
'Whoever you are, I will find you and kill you with my bare hands.'
As if his abductor had read his thoughts, laughter echoed through the cultivation abode as Shu Xian heard, "I know you want to kill me more than anything right now, but don't you worry. You will get your chance. It's just; there are still few things you have to answer first."
Shu Xian frowned, "So you want to know about me?"
"Ah, so we're finally back on the topic. Exactly. I want to know about you. Because I have no intention of repeating a silly mistake."
Shu Xian was confused by his words but didn't focus on them much.
"I will tell you, alright, I will tell you everything truthfully."
"That's what I want to hear." Shu Xian sensed another smirk on his abductor's face.
"You called me Disciple Twenty Two. So I am sure you know quite a lot already. And I am sure you will kill me after this. But let me tell you this - as soon as you kill me, my people will know. They will know-how, who, when and where I was killed!"
*bang!*
"AAHHHH!" Shu Xian cried in pain while holding his hand.
His eyes opened wide in shock, as he saw that his index finger was missing!
