Chapter 2760: Chapter 2761: Settling Grudges
Xue An shrugged, "I’d be more than happy to!"
With that, Xue An strolled forward, his tone indifferent, "What do you need me to do?"
Ren Ning took a deep breath, raised her hand, and pointed at Ren Butong in front of her.
"I’m going to ask him a few questions next, but one thing’s certain: he will never tell the truth, so I need you to use your skills to discern the truthfulness of his words!"
Upon hearing these words, Ren Butong’s face first turned pale, then a hint of luck flashed in his eyes.
This young man, no matter how powerful, if I stubbornly refuse to speak, what can he do to me?
Thinking of this, Ren Butong forced a smile, "Sir, what I said just now is indeed true, you see..."
Xue An didn’t bother to argue with him at all and nodded directly in agreement, "Okay! Let’s begin."
Ren Ning asked bluntly.
"Was my mother’s death because of you?"
Ren Butong sneered inwardly, but his face was full of bitterness and helplessness, "No... ahhh!"
Just as the word "No" left his mouth, an indescribable agony suddenly hit him.
Caught off guard, Ren Butong let out a tragic scream and almost fell to the ground.
Xue An said indifferently, "I’ve just planted a mark deep within your soul. From now on, if you dare utter a single false word, this mark will tear your soul apart, so... you better think wisely!"
Upon hearing this, Ren Butong’s previous luck vanished, replaced by infinite fear and despair.
"No... don’t!"
Before he finished speaking, Ren Ning stepped forward, coldly staring at him and said, "Tell me, is my mother’s death related to you?"
"Yes!" Ren Butong’s expression fluctuated, but in the end, he dared not lie and answered honestly.
"Then how did she die?"
"Back then, a noble passing through Ren’an City fancied your mother and wanted a night of pleasure. I... I dared not defy him, so I discussed it with your mother!"
"But she refused no matter what, so I had no choice but to drug her and then..."
"Then what?"
"Then I delivered her to the noble’s bed!"
Boom!
The entire room roared with surprise.
Everyone, regardless of gender, showed expressions of disdain and contempt.
"Scum!"
"Utterly shameless!"
"Pah, to even sell your own woman, truly a disgrace to men!"
The condemning voices were incessant, making Ren Butong’s face even paler.
Ren Ning, however, was already crying uncontrollably.
Because Ren Butong’s words indeed confirmed her memories.
Thinking of her mother suffering such violence, especially from the betrayal of the closest person, Ren Ning couldn’t help but feel as if her heart was being torn apart.
Seemingly sensing her agitation, Xue An said calmly, "Do you need me to help you take action?"
The words "take action" were said casually, but to Ren Butong, it felt like a bolt from the blue.
He fell to his knees with a thud, kowtowing repeatedly, "Please spare me, sir! I know my wrongs, I’ll never dare again!"
But Xue An didn’t even glance at him, just quietly watching Ren Ning, waiting for her response.
Ren Ning gradually stopped crying, then resolutely shook her head.
"No need, I wish to avenge my mother myself!"
"Good!"
Xue An tossed over a piece of Ancient Mirror shard casually, "Use this! Go avenge yourself!"
Ren Ning caught the Ancient Mirror shard, then began walking towards Ren Butong.
Ren Butong trembled, looking at Ren Ning with pleading eyes.
But this couldn’t slow Ren Ning’s steps even the slightest.
At this moment, Ren Ning walked with calm and steady steps, as if she were attending a grand banquet, without a hint of emotion on her face.
Yet this extreme calm made Ren Butong’s heart chill.
"Ning’er, no matter what, I’m your biological father. I really know my wrongs, please spare me this... ah!"
A scream interrupted Ren Butong’s plea, as Ren Ning struck, driving the Ancient Mirror shard straight through Ren Butong’s shoulder.
Poof!
Blood splattered, Ren Butong cried out in agony, while a fierce look appeared in his eyes.
The muscles in his legs suddenly tensed up, attempting to rise and seize Ren Ning as a hostage to then escape this place.
He knew well, this was his only way to survive.
But before he could act, a massive pressure suddenly descended, directly compressing Ren Butong’s head.
Crack-crack, Ren Butong’s knees shattered instantly, unable to move.
He opened his mouth to scream, but at that moment, Ren Ning grasped the Ancient Mirror shard with both hands and slashed down abruptly.
Rip!
Accompanied by the crisp sound of cutting leather, the Ancient Mirror shard slashed diagonally down from Ren Butong’s shoulder, severing all ribs along the way and splitting open his chest and abdomen.
Intestines spewed out, but Ren Ning remained unmoved, instead biting the piece of Ancient Mirror shard, then extending her slender hands directly into Ren Butong’s chest.
Ren Butong shuddered immensely.
As a strong cultivator, even after suffering such severe injuries, he hadn’t died.
But that also became the source of his pain.
Ren Ning’s hands, after plunging into Ren Butong’s chest, tore fiercely to the sides, revealing the heart buried deep within the chest.
At this moment, the fresh red heart was still beating.
Ren Ning spoke coldly, "I didn’t expect your heart to still be red!"
Saying this, she grasped the beating heart with both hands and yanked fiercely.
Rip!
Accompanied by the tooth-aching sound of blood vessels snapping, Ren Butong’s heart was forcibly pulled out by Ren Ning.
This brutal spectacle made many people’s eyelids twitch like crazy.
Especially Ren Xing who was kneeling a short distance away, she was petrified.
The bloody, heart-holding woman before her, like a demon from hell, couldn’t really be her weak and bullied sister, could she?
Ren Butong’s powerful life force was astonishing, even without a heart, he didn’t collapse immediately, but slowly lowered his head, gazed at his empty chest, and spoke with difficulty.
"Heart... gone!"
After uttering this, he finally fell to the ground, dead.
Ren Ning stood in place, holding Ren Butong’s heart, murmuring softly.
"Mother, did you see that? I avenged you, I killed this bastard, you can rest in peace!"
As she spoke, tears burst forth from her eyes.
At some point, Xue An had walked up to her side and said lightly.
"Well done! I thought you wouldn’t dare, but I didn’t expect you to actually kill him with your own hands!"
Ren Ning sniffed, speaking with a slightly choking voice, "Honestly, at first I didn’t think I dared either, but in the end, I did it!"
Xue An smiled and then turned to leave.
"Let’s go, your feud is resolved, there’s no need to stay here anymore!"
