648 The Smiling Asura (3)
Yan Jiuchao had already snatched too much from him. He could not give him an Asura for nothing.
That night, Nangong Li came to Asura’s courtyard with a bowl of medicine.
Asura was in a good mood tonight. The pain in his meridians did not cause him to be manic. He sat in front of the windowsill and repeatedly practiced the action of grinning. His cheeks were stiff and it was a little difficult to practice.
“Asura.” Nangong Li smiled and walked over. “What are you doing?”
Asura did not want to do this to him. Asura turned around in a daze and looked at him with bloodshot eyes.
Nangong Li placed a bowl of steaming medicine on the table. “You’re injured. I brought you the medicine. Drink it.”
Asura did not like medicine.
Nangong Li said softly, “Be obedient. Your injuries will only heal after drinking it.”
Asura pursed his lips and drank the medicine in the end.
Nangong Li smiled in satisfaction. This was a bowl of genuine healing medicine. If he wanted to extract Asura’s internal energy, he naturally had to completely repair it first. However, the next one was not a good medicine.
“Here.” Nangong Li placed a black pill on the table.
The smell of the pill was bitter and sour, making Asura frown.
“Eat it,” Nangong Li said.
Asura did not eat.
Nangong Li was not angry. He said to him, “It’s fine if you don’t want to eat, but you have to carry out a mission for me.”
Asura looked at him strangely.
Nangong Li raised his hand and stroked Asura’s long hair that hung on his shoulder. “I’ve liked those little fellows for a long time. I know you like them too. Are you willing to give them to me, or do you want to obediently take this medicine?”
Asuras were not easy to control, but if they were intelligent Asuras, they would not violate the blood oath they had sworn.
He was Nangong Li’s Asura. He was destined to listen to Nangong Li.
Nangong Li smiled at him. “Choose.”
On the way here, Nangong Li actually had a trace of hope. This Asura was not stupid. He should understand that the things he gave him were not good. If he was willing to abandon those little fellows and capture them to show his loyalty to him, then Nangong Li might be willing to let him live.
But—
Asura picked up the pill on the table. He lowered his eyes and quietly ate it. He ate very calmly. It was as if he was eating ordinary candy.
Even though he had guessed that this would be the outcome, Nangong Li was still furious!
Look, look, this was the Asura he brought out from the Ghost Clan! Did he know what price he had paid to save such a dangerous big fellow from the forbidden area? Yet it was so easy for him to betray him!
However, that’s good too. Since you’re pigheaded, don’t blame me for not caring about our past!
The pill that Asura took was a Cultivation Dissolution Powder that could dissolve Asura’s strength to the greatest extent. However, the dissolving strength would not immediately dissipate, but wander freely in his meridians.
Asura could not gather them back into his dantian, so it was difficult for him to attack.
However, just in case, Nangong Li still took out the iron chain he had brought from the Ghost Clan’s forbidden area and tied Asura to the dungeon.
The three sacrificial soldiers were at the critical juncture of breaking through when they suddenly obtained Asura’s strength. Their auras soared and they became an out-and-out Asura!
Asura, whose internal energy had been sucked dry, seemed to have become a dried corpse overnight. He lay there in a daze, not even having the strength to breathe.
The sacrificial soldiers and guards who were originally afraid of him finally seized the opportunity to take revenge and punched him.
Since he was no longer valuable, Nangong Li naturally would not feel heartache, let alone care about his life and death. If this group of people wanted to vent, so be it. If they killed him, it would just be one more corpse.
