Chapter 927: Chapter 420: Patrolling the Evil Suppression Jail, Reunion with Li Hengfeng, Courtesan’s Yearning, Do You Want It?

This job is easier than patrolling islands or lakes. The prison officers, in order to please Li Xian, have long prepared wine, melon seeds, and other items for Li Xian to eat and drink, passing the time leisurely. On the duty roster, if it is written: the prison officer is lazy and neglects his duties. The prison officer will certainly be punished, seriously losing his job. Therefore, they dare not offend.

Seeing the flattery, Li Xian accepts it, as not accepting would only make the officers uneasy. So he drinks wine and cracks melon seeds, and when the constables below deem it almost time, he then goes down to the next layer below.

But there are always disobedient criminals, who when asked their name and crime, refuse to cooperate, being exceedingly arrogant. Ordinary prison officers may beat and curse them, but it’s still hard to quench their ferocity.

Then Li Xian must intervene.

Upon reaching the fourteenth layer, there is a fierce convict named "Rolling Swordsman Xu Ya". This villain has countless crimes, and his ferocity is extreme. It’s rumored he comes from a band of mountain robbers, accidentally achieving Martial Arts First Realm, becoming the head of the robbers, then joining a gang, gradually gaining a reputation, later reaching Martial Arts Second Realm.

His body is like rolling blade meat, fearing neither death nor life. He commits heinous acts, rape and plunder are child’s play. Though his gang affiliation is concealed, he brought this fierce aura into Jade City.

He killed thirteen Yu people, injuring fourteen constables. He was caught, yet his rolling blade meat personality remained unchanged. To him, various tortures were mere child’s play.

This villain, unfortunately, mastered a peculiar Martial Arts called "Smiling Body Blade", which combined with daily medicated baths turns one’s body less sensitive to pain, making him fierce. Though his martial skills are subdued, his body is impervious to torture. The prison officers are helpless against him. Li Xian arrives at the cell and stares at Xu Ya for a moment. His fingers rubbed against Golden Light, flicked it out.

He was flung several meters, crashed into the wall with a dull thud. Li Xian wore a silver mask, his fingers flicked continuously, with Golden Light flashing frequently. After fourteen flicks, the rolling swordsman Xu Ya no longer made a sound.

This scene, seen by other prison officers, filled them with both fear and respect. They were extremely envious, and after Li Xian left, they kept trying to flick their fingers, thinking how splendid it would be if they could learn this martial skill of flicking fingers to emit Golden Light. If only they could master it, how great would it be.

But after flicking for half a day, their fingertips turned red and peeled, blood dripped out, yet no Golden Glow appeared. It turned out... the rolling blade meat’s "Smiling Body Blade", though powerful, once surpassing the limit of endurance, could no longer remain arrogant.

Li Xian flicked over ten times, all hitting the same painful acupoint. Each flick intensified the pain sharply; the villain Xu Ya started off smug, laughing heartily, feeling proud and boasting without restraint. But later he couldn’t endure, crying painfully.

He wailed on the ground, desperately trying to dodge and avoid the Golden Light flicks. But his slow movements and blocking were futile, always hit by the Golden Light at the painful acupoint.

Eventually, the pain caused him to pass out.

The so-called rolling blade meat ceased to roll blades.

In this way, layer by layer investigation, the tower within dim and dark, unaware of time slipping away, gradually reaching the underground layer. Suddenly hearing "swish swish" wind breaking sounds, knowing someone is enforcing punishment.

Following the sound, hearing someone shout: "You damned thief, not painful? I’ll give you more of your theft lord." "Bastard thing, son of a bitch, turtle’s child thing."

Li Xian recognized the voice, finding it familiar. Entering the Punishment Room, seeing indeed it’s "Master Thief Li Hengfeng". He was pierced through the scapula, iron copper boots strapped to his feet, bound to a cross wooden stake.

The inside of those iron copper boots is full of copper nails, extremely heavy, named "Copper Nail Boots". Every thief caught in Jade City is made to wear "Nail Boots". Thieves with remarkable lightweight skill, but strapped with these boots, every step causes severe pain, even lightweight skill cannot be performed.

In the past, to capture Li Hengfeng, Xu Shaoqian laid a big trap, but ultimately did not get him.

Li Xian suddenly appeared, then captured this thief. Seizing this opportunity, successfully joined the Gold Appraisal Guard. Li Xian immediately realized: "This master thief has decent strength; lightweight skill is outstanding, already at Martial Arts Second Realm, naturally detained here."

Seeing Li Xian, the punishing prison officer recognized the "Tiger Python Robe". Immediately withdrew the whip, greeting and letting him pass, and said: "Sir!"

Li Hengfeng got a chance to breathe, face distorted, expression ferocious. Li Xian asked: "Why the punishment?"

The prison officer said: "This person has a case, unwilling to reveal the truth. Therefore the higher-ups ordered, making the small ones perform whipping every three days, stepping punishment every five days, until he reveals the truth."

Li Xian slightly raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself: "Case on him, unwilling to reveal the truth? Once I had a conversation with Li Hengfeng. He was caught stealing Tao Xiangrong’s rouge, the case is crystal clear, logically, no punishment needed, already clarified. Seems there’s something fishy. Li Hengfeng and I, though briefly acquainted, I must address this matter." Pretending confusion, asked: "Oh? What case is he involved in?"

The prison officer replied: "Sir, this person stole Bai family’s ’Treasure Hairpin’, although captured, yet the whereabouts of the treasure hairpin remain undisclosed. Therefore, punishment is applied, making him reveal the treasure’s location."

Li Xian meaningfully replied: "Oh? Only the treasure hairpin? Did he not steal anything else?" The prison officer said: "Only the treasure hairpin, this evil thief hadn’t had time for further mischief before being caught."

Li Xian already determined the prison officer intentionally deceived, infusing his thoughts, blasting him away through the air, smashing him against the wall. The prison officer felt immense pain, hurriedly crawling up, kneeling in fear and saying: "No... no... don’t know, sir, why impose punishment, if the small one... if the small one is offensive... hope... hope sir... gives a clear statement... decision..."
