I Can't Bear to See Him Suffer

Li Banfeng threw the Rust Pill down the old woman's throat.

Just as the old woman's belly was kicked by Li Banfeng, she was inhaling during a spasm, and with that breath, she swallowed the Rust Pill.

A burning pain struck, and the old woman knew she had been poisoned. She quickly tried to vomit.

Li Banfeng didn't give her a chance to vomit. He seized the opportunity to get behind De Cai, pull out the short knife, and hack down at the old woman's head, one strike after another.

At first, the old woman dodged smoothly, but as the poison rapidly took effect, her throat felt like it was on fire. Acidic water with a metallic smell constantly surged upwards, not only causing unbearable pain but also severely affecting the old woman's breathing.

Amidst the struggle, the old woman was drenched in hot sweat, which was reddish-brown. Her face was covered in spots, as if it had rusted.

This process was very familiar to Li Banfeng!

This old woman was detoxifying!

Although she couldn't vomit, she had other ways to detoxify, and this method was very similar to Li Banfeng's.

She was a Shut-in Cultivator!

Shut-in Cultivators could conceal their aura, making opponents ignore their presence. The coachman had once said that Travel Cultivators couldn't sense the danger of Shut-in Cultivators, which was why Li Banfeng had never sensed the old woman's malice.

But the old woman's two sons were not Shut-in Cultivators. When they poisoned him, why couldn't Li Banfeng sense it either?

Li Banfeng quickly thought of the key to the problem.

It had to do with the location of the incident.

The location of the incident was this house.

This house was the key to all the problems!

This was the old woman's house, a Shut-in Cultivator's house.

A Shut-in Cultivator in their own house was protected by the Home Spirit.

The old woman recognized Li Banfeng as a Travel Cultivator at a glance and used the power of a Shut-in Cultivator to shield her own malice and the malice of her two sons.

Was her level that high?

Could her power affect her two sons?

Her level wasn't that high, just a first-level Shut-in Cultivator. If she had reached the second level, Li Banfeng wouldn't be alive now.

With her strength, she definitely couldn't affect her two sons outside the house.

But inside the house, with the help of the Home Spirit, the old woman's techniques were strengthened. This also made her faster than a Travel Cultivator, more ruthless than a Martial Cultivator, and more resilient than a Body Cultivator.

Having a Home Spirit was truly great!

This really made Li Banfeng envious.

If I kill this old woman, will this Home Spirit belong to me?

The Peddler had said that an ownerless Home Spirit could be taken over by the next owner.

The more Li Banfeng thought about it, the more excited he became, and he fought the old woman with all his might.

With the help of the Home Spirit, the old woman kept sweating to expel the toxins, but the Rust Pill's lethality was too great, and the efficiency of detoxification through sweating was too low.

Li Banfeng was just about to conduct an experiment himself: could a Shut-in Cultivator inside a house withstand the erosion of the Rust Pill?

Of course, conducting an experiment himself didn't mean using himself as the subject. The most important thing was the attitude, to approach the experimental results with a scientific attitude.

From the results of tonight's experiment, it seemed that without the ability to vomit smoothly, a first-level Shut-in Cultivator couldn't withstand the Rust Pill.

According to Li Banfeng's estimation, in less than two minutes, the old woman's combat power had dropped by more than half.

Another two minutes passed, and the old woman's movements became increasingly sluggish, her speed even slower than an ordinary person's. A strange grinding sound appeared between her joints.

Li Banfeng dodged the old woman's hairpin and kicked her in the stomach.

The old woman coughed and actually coughed up a large mouthful of reddish-brown debris.

She was rusting, her entire body was rusting.

Li Banfeng quickly moved away from the old woman.

He wasn't sure if this rust disease was contagious.

The old woman walked towards Li Banfeng step by step, cursing viciously as she walked, "Little bastard, don't leave, come here,

As long as you don't run, this old woman will let you die a quick death. If you dare to take another step, this old woman will definitely slice you into a thousand pieces!

You can't run, this is my house, hehehe, once you're here, don't even think about leaving, you'll never leave in this lifetime!"

Her words were venomous, but the old woman was very scared inside.

Every part of her body felt like it had been poured with molten iron, melting her skin and flesh layer after layer, and constantly seeping into her body.

Her son was a Poison Cultivator, and she had seen many poisons, but she had never seen such a terrifying one.

Although the intense pain was unbearable, it wasn't the most terrifying thing.

The most terrifying thing was the numbness that followed the pain.

She felt her body rapidly losing sensation amidst the pain.

Aside from the fishy and astringent rust foam in her mouth, she could barely perceive the existence of her body. Even vomiting was useless.

She wanted to go back to her room, she wanted to hear the sound of the old grandfather clock.

But if she went back to her room now, her son would surely die.

The old woman took a few steps forward, walking slower and slower, and with increasing difficulty.

Rust powder fell from her body, rust foam spewed from her mouth and nose, her graying hair turned yellow strand by strand, shattering inch by inch, gradually turning into rust slag and scattering in the wind.

Crack!

The old woman stumbled and fell to the ground.

She looked back and saw the broken half of her lower leg lying on the ground, saw the rusted bone and the flesh and blood that had already rusted into slag.

She saw this bone.

Many other bones were also broken, she couldn't see them, but she could feel them.

Her body was about to collapse.

Her eyes were fixed on her room, the largest room in the courtyard.

She hoped the bell would ring, even if only once.

But she never heard the bell.

She saw De Cai lying on the ground, twitching and struggling. She thought of De Mao, whose whereabouts were unknown.

How could something like this happen?

How could she die at the hands of a mere youngster?

No, it wasn't just this damned youngster, but also that pair of shameless sluts.

She should have killed them the moment they entered the door. She shouldn't have let these two sluts seduce her son.

My son is mine, mine alone. He's mine forever...

"You, spare my son, I, I'll give you something good..." The old woman looked at Li Banfeng, her voice tinged with pleading.

Li Banfeng looked at the struggling De Cai, sighed, and said, "I don't want to kill either, but I can't bear it."

The old woman shook her head, "What are you trying to say? I don't understand."

"How can you not understand?" Li Banfeng held the short knife and walked over to De Cai. "With the mother dead, what's the point of letting the child live? Isn't it suffering to leave her alone in the world? Better to go on the road with you.

Didn't you just say that?"

"Bastard, how dare you touch my family! I'm from the Jiang Xiang Gang! The Jiang Xiang Gang will never spare you..." The old woman let out a series of roars.

The Jiang Xiang Gang again.

Gotta give the Jiang Xiang Gang some face!

In front of her, Li Banfeng chopped off De Cai's head.

"Mother, save me..."

De Cai's voice stopped abruptly.

Seeing De Cai's head fall, the old woman's body kept twitching.

She remembered killing other people's children before, and how their parents' bodies also twitched.

The red spots before her eyes, she didn't know if they were rust or bloodstains.

Her consciousness disappeared, and along with her body, she turned into a pile of rust slag.

A cold wind blew, scattering the old woman's large pile of debris everywhere.

Xiao Yeci looked at Li Banfeng, her face filled with admiration, her heart full of fear. Her hands were covering her daughter Lu Chunying's eyes the whole time.

The old woman was dead, and De Cai was also dead.

Although Xiao Yeci had long wanted to kill this family of villains in her heart, seeing them truly dead, Xiao Yeci felt fear from the bottom of her heart.

She didn't know the origin of the Li Banfeng before her, nor could she discern what Dao Gate or cultivation level this person possessed.

He's so fast, is he a Travel Cultivator?

But what's going on with the old lady rusting?

He saved us, so he should let us go, right?

What if he doesn't let us go?

Li Banfeng looked a bit dejected, seemingly feeling regret for the old lady.

Xiao Yeci noticed Li Banfeng's regret.

Feeling regret for a bad person, he must be a good person, right?

Maybe he can help us again...

Looking at the rust residue all over the ground, Li Banfeng's expression was solemn, and he let out a long sigh.

I didn't expect this outcome.

What a pity!

What a waste!

I could have taken it back to refine pills.
