Torture to Extract a Confession

"Chief Xiao, please calm down."

Before Ji Boying could finish speaking, Xiao Feng's heart skipped a beat.

Judging from Ji Boying's martial arts skills and his confidence, it seems that he really knows the truth.

But when he opened his mouth, he called himself Chief Xiao, instead of Qiao Feng. Does this foreshadow something?

Xiao Feng couldn't help but feel a little down, and the glimmer of hope that had just risen within him vanished.

Then he saw Ji Boying smiling faintly at the Beggar Gang' Sect members.

"I just gave you a good scolding because there are many despicable and scheming people among you."

Without Ji Boying needing to specifically point out anyone, everyone's attention involuntarily fell on Quan Guanqing, which made Quan Guanqing feel embarrassed and angry.

"However, every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor. Among you people, there are indeed some loyal and upright individuals who are worthy of admiration. After scolding you, I will give you a small gift as a token of my appreciation to Chief Xiao."

Ji Boying nodded to Xiao Feng, and although Xiao Feng didn't understand, he returned the gesture with clasped hands.

The Beggar Gang's Sect members' expressions softened somewhat.

"Who is the murderer of Ma Dayuan, the deputy leader of the Beggar Gang' Sect? Do you want to know, Bai Shijing?"

Everyone looked on in astonishment.

Bai Shijing, however, remained as impartial and incorruptible as ever.

"What do you mean by that? Everyone in the Beggar Gang' Sect wants to know the truth, and everyone wants to avenge the Vice Leader!"

The members of the Beggar Gang' Sect echoed their agreement.

"That's right, revenge!"

"We must find the murderer! We absolutely cannot let him get away with this!"

Wu Changfeng also stepped forward.

"Brother, if you truly know the truth, please tell us. Our Beggar Gang will forever remember your kindness and repay you Yongquan Acupoint!"

Ji Boying laughed and said, "Ma Dayuan died because of his signature move. Miss Wang, do you know this Throat Locking Grappling Technique?"

Wang Yuyan took a step forward.

None of the assembled heroes dared to underestimate this young girl.

The fight Bao Butong Feng Bo'e and Bao Butong just now was truly astonishing.

"Ma Dayuan is naturally remarkable as the deputy leader of the Beggar Gang' Sect, but his Throat Locking Grappling Technique is quite ordinary."

Wang Yuyan's sweet voice rang out in the forest. Although some members of the Beggar Gang were indignant, they dared not refute her.

"The difficulty of this Throat Locking Grappling Technique lies in locking the throat, not in the throat itself. The throat is a vital point and naturally vulnerable. Once you grab it, the enemy's life or death is in your hands. There is no need to study any force. Since this is a vital point, and Ma Dayuan is famous for his chokehold technique, those who are his enemies will naturally guard their throats carefully. So the difficulty is not in crushing the enemy to death, but in how to grab the enemy's throat."

"The power exertion of the Throat Locking Grappling Technique is quite ordinary, but the technique itself is quite exquisite. It requires speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness to seize the opportunity, as well as feints and deceptions to create openings."

After Wang Yuyan finished speaking,

Ji Boying clapped his hands.

"That's right, that's exactly right. You say that Ma Dayuan died from the Throat Locking Grappling Technique because his throat was crushed, but what's so strange about that? We didn't see how his throat was crushed. If I had killed Ma Dayuan casually, would that Returning the Other's Attack in Kind?"

The Beggar Gang's Sect disciples and elders naturally lowered their heads and began to ponder.

"Brother Ji, are you saying that Vice Chief Ma didn't die from the chokehold technique?"

Upon hearing Xiao Feng's question, Ji Boying nodded in agreement.

"Even if it wasn't a master like me who took action, but instead a weak woman who fed him the Ten Fragrance Softening Muscle Powder, rendering him unable to move, anyone who had practiced hand skills for a few days would probably have no difficulty crushing him."

There are so many sleeping pills in the martial arts world, why did he specifically mention the Ten Fragrance Softening Muscle Powder?

Although Bai Shijing appeared calm on the surface, his vest was already covered in cold sweat.

"Nonsense! I can tell you have close ties with the Murong Family. You're just using your silver tongue to try and exonerate Murong Fu!"

Bai Shijing's words immediately drew curses from Bao Butong and Feng Bo'e.

Ji Boying looked at him, who still had a cold face and seemed to be incorruptible and highly respected, but he just smiled lightly.

"What a fair and impartial Bai Shijing."

Before he could finish uttering the word "mirror, "Ji Boying vanished from everyone's sight in a flash.

Before anyone could react, Bai Shijing felt a numbness behind his shoulder and was already being held in someone's hand.

Then another loud shout was heard.

"Brother, don't lay a hand on me!"

An extremely powerful palm strike followed.

Of all those present, only Xiao Feng could keep up with Ji Boying's speed.

Bai Shijing was his sworn brother, and they were bound by life and death. Seeing that Bai Shijing had been captured by Ji Boying, he had no choice but to save him.

Although he didn't want to fight and make enemies with Ji Boying, Xiao Feng knew that ordinary methods would be no match for Ji Boying after seeing Ji Boying display some martial arts skills. So he could only forcefully use the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and unleash the move "Resisting Dragon's Regret".

The Arrogant Dragon Has Regrets technique uses three-tenths of its power while retaining seven-tenths, resulting in a continuous and extraordinary force. It is one of the most powerful moves in the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

Because he held back seven-tenths of his strength, he could control the force of his attacks with ease. This allowed him to make Ji Boying back down without fear of using too much force and damaging the harmony of the situation.

But all that could be seen was Ji Boying holding Bai Shijing in his left hand, cutting with his right palm, a flash of purple light on his face, and silently striking out with his palm.

The two palms collided with a muffled thud.

The Beggar Gang' Sect elders who were nearby felt a throbbing pain in their heads and bulging veins in their temples.

Ji Boying stepped back with his right foot, stomping hard on the ground and leaving a deep footprint.

Xiao Feng felt a powerful force surge up his arm and couldn't help but take three steps back to dissipate the force.

After taking three steps back to stand still, the onlookers finally realized what was happening.

In the blink of an eye, Ji Boying had already captured Bai Shijing and exchanged a move with Xiao Feng. The two were so skilled that it was truly astonishing.

"The Arrogant Dragon Has Regrets? You also know the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms?"

Xiao Feng was greatly alarmed.

At this moment, Shan Zheng, who was lying on the ground being trampled under Ji Boying's feet, finally realized that no one was on his face.

He propped himself up with his hands, lifted his face off the ground, looked around a couple of times, hesitated slightly, but quickly got up.

The five sons rushed forward and quickly helped their elderly father up.

Of the five people, none dared to utter a sound. They were all secretly relieved to have survived such a close call.

The Beggar Gang's Sect members were completely bewildered; before they could even comprehend what was happening, the Enforcement Elder had already been arrested. The former leader exchanged another blow with someone, only to discover that this person was using the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

Ji Boying laughed and said, "It's not surprising that the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms have been passed down through so many generations of the Beggar Gang."

Xiao Feng then suppressed his doubts. Indeed, as Ji Boying said, it was not surprising that the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms had spread. Many moves of the Beggar Gang's most fundamental Dog Beating Staff Technique had also been passed down.

However, in that exchange just now, it was clear that Ji Boying's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms were different.

Especially the hazy purple aura that flashed across his face, the force he unleashed with a single palm strike was three or four times greater than his own.

Although he was confident that he could exchange dozens or even hundreds of blows with him, he was afraid that he was really no match for the young man in front of him.

"It seems Brother Ji is also one of our beggars..."

"Well..."

"It seems that Brother Ji also has some connection with the Beggar Gang. I wonder why he captured the Beggar Gang's law enforcement elder. He is my sworn brother, and we are as close as brothers. If he has offended my brother in any way, Xiao Feng is willing to apologize on his behalf."

Xiao Feng spoke earnestly, Bai Shijing kept his head down and remained silent.

"Is Elder Bai still unwilling to reveal who the real culprit is?"

Ji Boying asked a question as a matter of routine.

"Do as you please, old man."

Bai Shijing was completely powerless, but his mouth remained stubbornly open, pretending to be forced by the powerful, afraid that others would see through his act.

In this way, even if Ji Boying reveals the truth, others will probably think that he is framing someone.

Ji Boying, carrying the Bai Shijing, smiled at everyone.

"If I were to reveal the truth, you would probably just think that I deliberately framed him. If I were to interrogate this guy again then, you would just think that I was trying to force a confession."

Ji Boying spoke, he reached out and gently patted Bai Shijing on the back, then threw Bai Shijing to the ground.

Before the Beggar Gang's Sect members could help him up, Bai Shijing began to convulse.

He chuckled, his body drenched in cold sweat, his veins bulging, and his eyes bloodshot. However, his cries of pain were not clear enough; he could only make sounds from his throat. This was not only because the indescribable pain had rendered him unable to control his mouth, but also because Ji Boying had dislocated his jaw to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide.

"Elder Enforcement!"

"Brother Bai!"

"Elder!"

Xiao Feng and the other elders rushed forward to help Bai Shijing up. Seeing Bai Shijing's twisted and devilish appearance, they cried out in fear, worried that something had happened to him.

What are you doing?

Several people took turns injecting some internal energy into Bai Shijing, trying to relieve his pain, but all their efforts were in vain. They then questioned Ji Boying, and even Xiao Feng showed some temper.

"Bai Shijing, aren't you going to confess?"

Ji Boying unleashed a finger strike from mid-air; Xiao Feng tried to stop it, but failed.

Struck by this finger strike, Bai Shijing's eyes rolled back and he almost fainted, but he was able to gasp for breath and finally open his mouth to breathe.

"I'll confess! I'll confess! Please spare my life, sir, and give me a quick death."

Bai Shijing was terrified and quickly uttered these somewhat contradictory words.

The elders all looked at Bai Shijing with puzzled expressions, not understanding what had happened. How could they possibly comprehend the suffering Bai Shijing had endured in that short time?

This is the Bone Attaching Needle that Ji Boying learned from Huang Yaoshi.

With a gentle pat, the Bone Attaching Needle pierces deep into the flesh, firmly anchoring itself in the joints of the bones. The needle is coated with a special poison, potent yet slow-acting, administered six times a day, circulating through the bloodstream, causing unspeakable, intense pain that doesn't kill immediately, but rather torments the person for one or two years before finally taking their life.

Ji Boying had just used this trick on Bai Shijing.

Moreover, it uses internal force to activate the medicinal properties.

Let the toxins that have been tormenting people for the past year or two be condensed into this moment.

One attack is almost equivalent to two or three months of suffering.

Even a man of iron like Bai Shijing couldn't withstand this, let alone someone who wasn't exactly a tough guy.

Bai Shijing's clothes were soaked with sweat, and he looked extremely disheveled with dust and withered grass stuck to the ground.

He confessed quickly, trembling.

"It's not my fault... it's not my fault. It was all that bitch Kang Min who seduced me. I didn't want to kill Ma Dayuan, she forced me to! And Quan Guanqing, and Xu Chongxiao, they are the masterminds."

Everyone felt a buzzing in their heads.

Especially the elders of the Beggar Gang' Sect.

This is truly a shocking scandal.

Quan Guanqing and Xu Chongxiao's expressions had changed.

In fact, they knew something was wrong when Ji Boying questioned Bai Shijing.

They wanted to escape, but felt as if they were being watched by a tiger and dared not move, fearing that they would die if they moved. It was clear that Ji Boying had distracted them and kept an eye on them.

At this point, it's impossible to leave.

The crowd was already dissatisfied with Quan Guanqing's attack on Xiao Feng, and many Beggar Gang disciples had already spontaneously surrounded Quan Guanqing.

Xu Chongxiao is now the most senior member of the Beggar Gang' Sect, and is highly respected.

Although the disciples dared not do anything to him, Xu Chongxiao was indeed old and his reputation was in danger. Where could he escape to?

Not to mention that the remaining Four Great Elders: Song, Xi, Chen, Wu, had already surrounded him.

"Go away!"

A'Zhu shouted, her red dress fluttering, and grabbed Kang Min, who was dressed in mourning clothes, and threw her next to Bai Shijing. She had long felt that this matter was strange and felt indignant on behalf of Xiao Feng.

However, when Kang Min was thrown to the ground, although she was in pain, the sorrow on her face had disappeared.

The feigned grief she had just displayed, as if her husband had died, had vanished without a trace.

A charming smile graced her beautiful face.

But that gentle smile seemed so alluring, so chilling.

She glanced at Bai Shijing with disdain.

"Coward, utterly useless."

Kang Min cursed and looked at Bai Shijing's disheveled state, his dirty and hunched body, the bulging veins on his body still showing, his skin red from the intense pain causing his blood to surge. He looked extremely ugly.

Although this woman was hard-hearted, she cared only about her appearance. Seeing this, she lost all interest in trying Ji Boying's Bone Attaching Needle. Instead, she gritted her teeth, argued irrationally, and bit back.

She would rather die than have her appearance damaged; it was her only asset.

"Why... why did you kill Deputy Gang Leader Ma?"

Xiao Feng, his hands trembling, still wanted to press them to tell him why they had framed him.

"That's right, why would you, you shameless woman, try to murder your own husband?"

The Four Great Elders captured Quan Guanqing and Xu Chongxiao and made them kneel to the side.

They no longer cared about asking Bai Shijing why he did it; they were disappointed in Bai Shijing but understood his motives.

Bai Shijing's words just now clearly showed that he was captivated by Kang Min's beauty.

As for Quan Guanqing and Xu Chongxiao, they were obviously having an affair.

But Xu Chongxiao is just an old man, and Quan Guanqing probably still has some ambition, wanting to kill Xiao Feng and become the leader of the gang.

They all had motives for doing such things, but they just couldn't understand why Kang Min did it.

Even if one of these three men becomes the gang leader, who could possibly marry Kang Min and make her the gang leader's wife? After all, Kang Min is Ma Dayuan's widow.

Of the three, only Quan Guanqing still had some semblance of his former self. Bai Shijing and Xu Chongxiao were both quite old and not as good as Ma Dayuan.

In addition, Ma Dayuan was the vice leader of the Beggar Gang' Sect, second only to the leader.

Why would Kang Min do this? Did Quan Guanqing seduce Kang Min with his beauty?
