Chapter 1135: Chapter 1128: Subduing Two People

”Now do you still think I don’t dare to kill? Let me show you with facts, I, Lu Tianxing, fear nothing.”

Lu Tianxing dissipated the Iron Blood Battle Halberd and no longer paid attention to the Liang Family disciples who were paralyzed with fear. Instead, he fixed his gaze on the remaining two elders of the Liang Family and said indifferently, ”Aren’t you two planning to run?”

”Mr. Lu, you’re joking. Even if we wanted to run, could we escape?”

The old man at the Middle-stage Mythical laughed bitterly. How could they not have thought about fleeing, but could they get away? With True Qi circulation difficult, running would only lead to a dead end.

”You’re very clever.”

Lu Tianxing spoke calmly, ”I’m someone who believes in debts having owners. You intended to deal with me, so killing you is justifiable. However, since you didn’t make a move against me, you can avoid death, but not punishment. I give you two choices: one, submit to me, and two, die.”

”Mr. Lu, I...”

The old man’s words were cut off by Lu Tianxing: ”My patience is limited. In three breaths, you choose whether to live or to accompany the Liang Family in the afterlife.”

Interrupted, the two elders of the Liang Family both flashed with anger in their eyes, but were helpless. Their True Qi was nearly completely suppressed, and living under Lu Tianxing’s hands seemed a mere pipedream.

Lu Tianxing said nothing, gazing at the two old men with eyes devoid of emotion, True Qi swirling around his arm like dragons, ready to transform into a terrifying attack at any moment.

”We... we submit.”

Seeing the icy indifference in Lu Tianxing’s eyes and feeling the surging wave of True Qi emanating from him, the two Liang Family elders sighed heavily. Even ants cling to life, let alone humans.

The two Liang Family elders knelt on one knee: ”Subordinate Wu Tao, Li Xian greet Mr. Lu.”

Wu Tao was the elder at Middle-stage Mythical, and Li Xian was the elder at Early-stage Mythical.

”Good, since you submit, swallow this.”

As he spoke, Lu Tianxing turned his palm over, revealing two round, bean-sized brown Elixirs in his palm. ”I think you might not know what these are, but you’ve probably heard of the Gu Worm from the Miao Border, which these are made from. It’s called the Soul Devouring Pill, and once you take it, you’ll need to take an antidote each year. Otherwise, the Soul-devouring Worm will hatch, and then you’ll know a fate worse than death...”

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Wu Tao and Li Xian’s faces drastically changed. They knew well about the Soul-devouring Worm, the most malicious Gu Worm from the Miao Border. Once it acted, a fate worse than death awaited. Though they hadn’t seen it, they had heard. They never imagined Lu Tianxing would make them consume such poison. If they did, they would become puppets, their lives in Lu Tianxing’s hands.

”Mr. Lu...”

The Middle-stage Mythical elder Wu Tao opened his mouth, wanting to speak, only to be interrupted by Lu Tianxing: ”I have no patience for games. I don’t believe in loyalty. You only have two paths before you: swallow it, or die. Choose one.”

Wu Tao and Li Xian’s bodies trembled as they gritted their teeth, reaching out to take the Soul Devouring Pill from Lu Tianxing. Upon touching the pill, they realized Lu Tianxing hadn’t deceived them.

There’s a saying: a good doctor may not be a Martial Artist, but a Martial Artist is certainly a good doctor.

After touching the Soul Devouring Pill, they immediately saw it was composed from various toxic herbs, each a deadly poison. Combined, they achieved a subtle balance that restrained each other’s toxicity. If one tried to detoxify rashly, this restrained toxicity would explode, leading to certain death.

That’s what made the Soul Devouring Pill terrifying—the mix of poisons achieving a delicate balance. Breaking it would cause lethal toxicity to erupt, ensuring death.

After all, to create an antidote, one must know what poison they’re dealing with, how it was made, in what quantities. Miscalculate, and death will follow. Who dares guarantee a single attempt will neutralize all the poisons? One unresolved, and death is certain.

Looking at the Soul Devouring Pill in their hands, Wu Tao and Li Xian took a deep breath. Only two paths lay before them: die, or consume the Soul Devouring Pill and become puppets with their own thoughts.

Seeing them hesitate, Lu Tianxing spoke lightly, ”Rest assured, as long as you serve me, you won’t face danger. I promise, ten years. I only need your service for ten years. After that, I’ll give you the antidote and let you go.”

Lu Tianxing had no concern about these two causing him trouble in ten years. Within that time, he would surely break through to the Late Stage of Mythical. By then, even the peak of that stage wouldn’t pose a threat, and in ten years, Yama Palace would have taken shape. If Wu Tao and Li Xian dared to cause trouble, death would await.

Hearing Lu Tianxing, a gleam flashed in Wu Tao’s eyes. Taking a deep breath, he said, ”Very well, I hope Mr. Lu keeps his word.”

As soon as he finished, Wu Tao swallowed the Soul Devouring Pill.

Li Xian hesitated briefly but chose to consume the Soul Devouring Pill. After all, he was only in his sixties. In ten years, he’d be in his seventies, and a Martial Artist’s lifespan far surpasses ordinary humans. Ten years meant little.

Seeing both consume the Soul Devouring Pill, a smile finally appeared on Lu Tianxing’s face. He never intended to kill Li Xian and Wu Tao. One at Middle-stage Mythical and one at Early-stage Peak—if they joined Yama Palace, their presence would ensure Yama Palace’s true formation.

”Mr. Lu, we’ve done as instructed. Can you detoxify us now?” Wu Tao asked, looking at Lu Tianxing.

”Of course, no problem.”

Lu Tianxing tossed two Detoxification Pills to them.

The two exchanged a glance and without hesitation swallowed the Detoxification Pills. Having taken the Soul Devouring Pill, was there anything more poisonous?

The Detoxification Pill dissolved instantly, spreading through their bodies in just a few breaths, unleashing a potent True Qi that surged with overwhelming momentum.
