Chapter 1637 - 611: Living Transformation (Part 3)
"What on earth is going on?"
The Xing family has been a chaotic mess from the start.
Yang Yizhi, Ling Hongxia, and her Yu Lingxin all saw the Xing family in such turmoil, thinking it was an opportunity to exploit.
But now it seems, the chaos in the Xing family is far more severe than imagined.
Especially Xing Ru Hai’s actions, which have gone far beyond imagination.
He said that three days later the timing would be right. What exactly is going to happen after three days?
Xing Hao is, after all, his son. How can he kill him just like that?
Now Xing Zhan has stepped forward to block.
He not only gives no face at all, but even wants to kill Xing Zhan too!?
Could he even intend to destroy the entire family?
In a daze of confusion, Xing Ru Hai had already made consecutive moves.
The Twelve Way Fierce Wind Blade Technique came whistling out, each strike deadly.
Xing Hao wanted to stop him but found he couldn’t even see the blade technique of Xing Ru Hai clearly.
Clearly, he had learned this Twelve Way Fierce Wind Blade Technique since childhood.
Yet now... he couldn’t defend against a single move.
Thankfully, Xing Zhan was moving about, blocking Xing Ru Hai’s blade either with fingers or grappling.
Otherwise, Xing Hao would have already met a violent end.
For a moment, Xing Hao’s heart was filled with uncertainty and suspicion.
He had long believed that Xing Zhan was the one Xing Ru Hai favored as the head of the family.
That’s why he would act so ruthlessly against his own son.
But now it didn’t seem that way.
Otherwise, why would Xing Zhan save his life repeatedly instead of helping Xing Ru Hai kill him?
With this thought, he hastily asked:
"Xing Zhan, where is your third brother now?"
Just as he finished speaking, a loud crash was heard.
Xing Ru Hai and Xing Zhan evidently exchanged a move.
Xing Ru Hai frowned, shaking his head.
He wasn’t hurt, but the poison Xing Hao gave him wasn’t without any effect as he claimed.
It was just that the effect wasn’t that severe.
At least if he were only dealing with Xing Hao, that last strike could have taken his life. The poison was naturally insignificant.
But now, dealing with Xing Zhan, who had already mastered the Shadow Transformation Divine Skill, wasn’t that simple.
Unable to gain advantage through prolonged attack, the poison’s effect was coming into play, becoming harder to suppress.
Xing Zhan retreated to Xing Hao’s side, looking grim.
He had originally been injured by Hei Bodhisattva using the Damaging Heart Demon Technique.
Though now healed somewhat by the Shadow Transformation Divine Skill, it wasn’t likely to recover so quickly.
Xing Ru Hai’s methods were ruthless, every move meant to take his life.
Grandfather, who had earnestly advised him that ’heaven burdens this person with great responsibility,’ was now nowhere to be seen.
Upon hearing Xing Hao’s words, he hurriedly said:
"Third Brother is fine. We encountered Hei Bodhisattva outside the city today.
"He was injured by the inner strength scattered from my fight with Hei Bodhisattva. I placed him in an outer residence for now.
"Uncle... you should leave first. Grandfather’s martial arts are formidable, and I am no match. I can only stall for a quarter of an hour or so to escape."
Upon hearing this, Xing Hao’s eyes instantly reddened:
"Good child... Uncle thanks you for showing mercy.
"As long as I know my brother is unharmed, I can die in peace.
"Quickly escape, your grandfather... your grandfather has gone mad.
"Whether I live or die doesn’t matter. With your martial skills, protecting your father and brothers shouldn’t be difficult."
Xing Hao did not flee, but instead urged Xing Zhan to escape.
At this moment, Xing Ru Hai chuckled:
"Go... where can you go?"
He reached up and rubbed his head vigorously: "Why does my head hurt so much... Xing Hao, Hao’er, what poison did you put in father’s tea?"
But after asking this, neither Xing Hao nor Xing Zhan could speak, both stunned.
All they could do was look fixedly at Xing Ru Hai.
Terror filled their eyes.
After a long silence, Xing Hao finally cried out sorrowfully:
"Father... what has happened to you?"
"Grandfather, your face..."
Xing Zhan couldn’t help but speak up.
It was definitely still Xing Ru Hai standing there.
But for some reason, perhaps Xing Ru Hai had rubbed his head too harshly.
Half of his face had been twisted to one side, misaligning his eyes, nose, and half of his mouth.
A cavity enveloped his head with his eyes deeply buried beneath the skin.
Amid bizarre absurdity, it made one’s scalp crawl.
Xing Ru Hai touched his face and realized:
"This poison broke my Bone Setting Needle...
"Enough, enough."
He said this as if he had given up on something, sighed long, and suddenly took a deep breath.
Energy sank, roaring as it circulated.
With sounds of thumping, thumping, thumping!
The sounds echoed from Xing Ru Hai’s whole body, and his form swelled abruptly.
Xing Ru Hai, being aged and hunched, naturally wasn’t as robust as in his youth.
But at this moment, his form grew taller and taller.
The skin on his body stretched tight like oil paper covering.
One could see a face emerging from the skin on the head, outlining the facial features.
Limbs elongated, and the skin on his hands instantly split apart.
Muscles in the arms bulged; clothing and skin on the arms shattered all around.
With a tearing sound, his head finally emerged from the skin on the top of his head.
He reached out, grabbed the skin on his chest, and tore it off forcefully.
In a flash, Xing Ru Hai transformed into a tall and muscular man.
His face was pale without a beard, his skin abnormally white, with faint veins visible under the skin.
He still wore the same clothes as Xing Ru Hai.
But due to the size difference, they had long since burst apart, and now hung around his waist, looking somewhat ridiculous.
But neither Xing Hao nor Xing Zhan could find it funny.
All of a sudden, the stabilizing force, the backbone of the Xing family.
Had, before their eyes, transformed into another man!
Watching the man stretch and move slightly:
"I intended to achieve full success in three days, to return and report back, but I didn’t expect your Xing family to be so troublesome.
"Xing Ru Hai was like this back in the day, and now his sons and grandsons are just the same.
"So be it, so be it... If the Xing family cannot be of use to me, then let it vanish from the Jianghu..."
