Chapter 84: Sucked Clean, Skin And Bones
The middle-aged man was called Ren Xing, the eldest son of Ren Changtian, and also the father of Ren Xu, the eldest brother among the four heirs of the Ren Family.
Breaking Through Realm martial artists break through the Qi Meridian Pass.
It was also two days ago after Li Ye got the news that he had the current nightclub boss Mu Dayuan call to contact him and trick him into coming here.
He had originally been thinking about how to force out the Skin-Peeling Demon, whether to first have Pan Zhengyang forcibly tie one over from the Ren Family to use as bait, or if he should simply do the same and go to the suburban counties to cover the entire Ningjiang City, forcing all the Skin-Peeling Demons to approach the Ren Family.
But now there was no need to worry, a live bait had appeared right here.
As soon as Ren Xing appeared, Li Ye broke his four limbs, leaving him without the ability to move, then placed him in this private room, handling all eating, drinking, and excreting within the club, everything waiting for the Skin-Peeling Demon to appear.
He had even held Ren Xing back to the point of desperation, constantly asking him what he exactly wanted to do, until now, Li Ye finally spoke.
“You have no evidence! You have no evidence!!”
After two continuous days of being ignored and confined in this private room with neon lights, Ren Xing was already mentally exhausted, and after suddenly being addressed by Li Ye, he hurriedly shouted:
“We have no connection with the Skin-Peeling Demon, even if you find the Skin-Peeling Demon, that can’t prove anything!”
Upon hearing this, Li Ye’s mouth slowly curved up, he shook the wine glass in his hand, drank a sip of the prepared western liquor, and said tilting his head:
“Did I ever say… that was the Skin-Peeling Demon?”
Ren Xing’s expression changed drastically, as if struck by lightning, his lips quivered, unable to squeeze out a single word between the tremors.
Li Ye chuckled: “Using Director Pan’s words, he knows the Skin-Peeling Demon is connected to you, and you know Director Pan knows the Skin-Peeling Demon is connected to you. But to deal with you, evidence alone isn’t enough, so I grabbed you and brought you here, not asking a single question, asking wouldn’t help anyway.”
“What do you want? We can negotiate everything.”
Ren Xing tremblingly said: “Money? Martial arts? Resources? There’s nothing the Ren Family can’t handle in Ningjiang City, you’re very smart and have talent, but just those things can’t compare to our accumulation.”
“The Ren Family has survived for several hundred years, not only owning those industries, but most importantly, connections.”
Ren Xing became calmer as he spoke, his eyes gradually lighting up:
“Just relying on Pan Zhengyang can’t kill us, in the end, our Old Master will definitely still be alive, as long as he’s alive, we all can live. When Pan Zhengyang pats his butt and leaves, the one hurt will only be you.”
“Cooperate with us, we have everything, plus your talent, you’ll definitely go higher!”
Upon hearing this, Li Ye shook his head and chuckled lightly: “You say, Director Pan smashed several million here with me, and I already felt a great favor with no way to repay. Smashed over a million, if I don’t kill a few people I’d feel even worse… following your way of doing things, wouldn’t that mean I’m selling my life to your family?”
He drained the wine in his glass, “When it comes to selling one’s life, what you offer isn’t enough. Everything you mentioned, as long as you die, I can take it all, Ren Family or Li Family, it’s all the same, compared to you, at least I don’t take lives.”
Ren Xing’s face turned pale, “You can’t kill us!”
“You don’t need me to do it.”
Li Ye pointed to a very small round bronze mirror installed on the wall above, “Huainanzi·Dixing Xun says: The bronze mirror illuminates the skin bag, when the form collapses, the spirit disperses.”
“The Skin-Peeling Demon likes looking in mirrors very much, because the skin bags they obtain are all very good-looking, but only with bronze mirrors, when they look in them, the reflection in the mirror will smoke, although it doesn’t hurt them, they will feel disgusted and leave—a very simple confirmation method.”
“So the downtown area is full of bronze mirrors, specifically every residential building has them, except here. The Skin-Peeling Demon also favors filthy and noisy places, what place is more filthy, harboring dirt, and noisy than a nightclub? Most importantly, there’s you.”
Li Ye smiled: “Speaking of which it’s strange, your Ren Family, except for that old great-grandfather who is in the Three Realms, the four children have all actually broken through the Mysterious Pass, is the bloodline of noble families really different from ordinary people?”
“I’ve never heard of martial artists with talent whose descendants can definitely break through the Mysterious Pass.”
This really isn’t the case, even forcing it with resources has limits, good resources definitely exist, but one must also have the qualifications to absorb them.
Li Ye wasn’t surprised about crossing the Dragon Gate, but when he saw that the entire Ren Family had all broken through to the Second Realm, his thoughts were the same as Pan Zhengyang’s—absolutely no mistake, there must be a problem.
The Skin-Peeling Demon can extract essence blood, if there’s some connection with the Ren Family making them consume essence blood, then it’s possible.
But this also means they’re definitely tainted with the aura.
The location pointed out to the Skin-Peeling Demon, plus the aura, once the Skin-Peeling Demons in the downtown area can’t hunt, they’ll definitely come here!
“Ring ring ring——”
Just as the words fell, Li Ye’s mobile phone rang, he answered, and Huang Qingyi’s slightly panicked voice came through:
“Captain Li, two women came, saying they’re here for a job interview, Mu Dayuan is already leading them towards you!”
“Mm.”
Li Ye hung up the phone, grinned at Ren Xing, then smoothly pressed his chin and twisted it off, dislocating his jaw so he couldn’t even speak.
“They’re here.”
In this nightclub, all ordinary people had been completely banned, the interior sealed off, only Huang Qingyi and Mu Dayuan left guarding the front desk.
But to maintain the filthy aura, he still kept the martial artist small-time thugs here, drinking and chatting on the sixth floor.
On the surface, it was in a state of being open for business, but without hostesses, currently recruiting.
But Li Ye had also controlled the underground forces in the downtown area, no one would come for a job interview, now the only ones who could come
are the Skin-Peeling Demons!
The door was pushed open, two glamorous women led in by Mu Dayuan walked in, upon entering, Mu Dayuan first looked at the small bronze mirror right across from the entrance, the bronze mirror illuminated the doorway, reflecting three figures, besides Mu Dayuan, the two swaying women were like rippling water waves, even emitting smoke.
The bronze mirror was too small, and Ren Xing’s presence immediately attracted the two women’s attention, so they didn’t notice the bronze mirror.
“Alright, you can go.”
Li Ye saw Mu Dayuan’s expression gradually turn to horror, waved his hand signaling him to leave, then looked at the two women.
The skin bags were indeed very good-looking, one was voluptuous and full of sensuality, vibrant with energy, the other was tall and slender with cold allure, wide hips and long legs.
Such types were all very beautiful, full of natural beauty without any plastic surgery traces, too underutilized in a small city’s nightclub, in big cities they’d command high prices.
Of course, also easier to tempt people.
“Hello, guest.”
The two bowed very proficiently, although with smiles, their eyes were fixed straight on Ren Xing, one of them even quietly swallowed.
“Come, sit.”
Li Ye said, and the two came over to sit, though it looked like they sat by their sides, but obviously closer to Ren Xing, essentially sitting on his left and right.
“Do you know him?” Li Ye asked curiously.
Both women shook their heads.
Li Ye’s mouth curved up, directly put his arm around the shoulder of the sensual woman closer to him, pulled her over forcefully, poured a glass of western liquor, then said to the tall woman already leaning into Ren Xing’s arms:
“He’s very shy, doesn’t like to talk, if you can get him to open his mouth I won’t treat you poorly, or you can try feeding him mouth-to-mouth, to get him to speak.”
The tall woman’s eyes lit up, hurriedly poured a glass of wine, held a mouthful and approached Ren Xing directly.
Ren Xing anxiously shook his head wildly, but with his four limbs broken and jaw dislocated, unable to speak or move much, he could only watch the tall woman approach.
Meanwhile, Li Ye filled the glass with wine and handed it to the woman he was holding, “Can you drink?”
“Yes, guest, we charge by the hour, eight hundred per hour.”
“You can even haggle?”
Li Ye laughed, “Already developed to this extent? Looks very real.”
“Of course, with our looks, worth the price.”
The sensual woman showed a seductive look, “Guaranteed to make the guest… ah, skin and bones, suck it all clean.”
If a real woman said this, it might refer to the ‘suck’.
But the Skin-Peeling Demon saying this, the emphasis is on ‘clean’.
Physically clean, skin and bones all gone.
Li Ye smiled again, looking at the man and woman whose mouths were about to touch, asked: “Why charge me, but with him you’re eager beyond measure?”
“That guest is a very charming type, very likable.”
The sensual woman looked at the tall woman with jealousy, “Such a pity, if it were me, I’d be even more proactive.”
But she quickly turned her head, licked her lips at Li Ye, “But a young handsome guy like you needs me to take the initiative.”
Li Ye nodded, sighed: “Indeed good at talking, but still poor at reading people, not noticing clothes much, how many years have you been doing this?”
The sensual woman smiled: “I’ve just started, still a virgin…”
“No problem, it’ll be broken soon, but what I want to ask more is”
Li Ye grinned, “How long have you been a Skin-Peeling Demon?”
Time seemed to stagnate for a moment.
The tall woman already pressed to Ren Xing’s mouth froze in action, her head didn’t move, but her eyeballs shifted over, a pair of eyes that should have been pitch black actually emitted green light.
The sensual woman stiffened even more, then let out a charming laugh: “Is the guest saying I look like a Skin-Peeling Demon? Such flattery isn’t good, I’m real, don’t believe me feel it…”
“If I were you, right now I’d think of a way to eat the most delicious meal in your eyes, otherwise… soon you won’t even be a full ghost.”
Li Ye released the sensual woman, took out a remote control, and pressed the switch.
The room originally flashing with neon lights had all its lights turn into strong ultraviolet and infrared dual lamps, mixing with the light in the private room.
Tiangong Kaiwu says: Red light breaks the gloom!
Skin-Peeling Demons can act in daylight, but only if the sunlight isn’t too strong, otherwise it also makes the outer skin bag uncomfortable and shrink.
And the current light had a similar effect.
“Roar!!”
Both women let out beast-like roars from their throats, the tall woman split open from the top of her head, like shedding a skin suit, revealing a green-faced fanged monster, body like black ink, skin like hardened clumps, a monster.
She opened her mouth and bit toward the despairing Ren Xing’s mouth, her chest and abdomen sucked in, Ren Xing’s body visibly began to shrivel.
The sensual woman, seeing no hope, turned her head and burst through the crown of her skull, revealing the same green-faced fanged face, but different, this one’s mouth was spiral-shaped, filled with barbs inside.
Bang!!
But before it could act, a gloved hand with fingers formed into claws reached out, with one thrust and twist, drilling through the protruding head as well.
Sizzle!!
Li Ye’s hand tore down along the hole, like a steel knife chopping flesh, one claw down on the sofa tore the Skin-Peeling Demon along with the skin bag into two halves.
Then swept to the side, the torn body was flung against the wall, becoming a puddle of minced meat.
“Wrong answer.” Li Ye said indifferently.
