Chapter 172: Cheng Hongbing Goes Berserk
Tears welled in Cheng Yuan’s furious eyes, and he gritted his teeth so hard they threatened to shatter. Yet, he was powerless to save his mother. All he could do was accelerate, and then accelerate again!
But it wasn’t enough!
He watched as Wang Yuanchen’s fist drew closer and closer to Wu Xiuli!
Cheng Yuan was frantic!
But there was someone even more frantic than Cheng Yuan—Cheng Hongbing!
Watching his wife about to be killed, Cheng Hongbing’s chest filled with a monstrous rage!
At that moment, Cheng Hongbing once again briefly shattered his shackles. He stomped his right foot, instantly creating a half-meter-deep crater in the ground!
Even though there were no energy fluctuations from Cheng Hongbing’s body, he erupted with speed surpassing Wang Yuanchen’s! It was speed on the level of a Grandmaster! He pounced toward Wang Yuanchen like a cheetah!
"You bastard! Let go of my wife! Come at me if you have the guts!"
Wang Yuanchen snorted coldly. Not only did he not stop, but he actually moved faster!
This filled Cheng Hongbing with despair!
He had broken his shackles too late. Even though he had momentarily reached the speed of a Grandmaster, he had no way to save Wu Xiuli!
In just an instant, Wang Yuanchen closed the distance to less than half a meter from Wu Xiuli!
Just as Wu Xiuli was about to perish, a small figure suddenly appeared before her, spreading her arms to shield her protectively!
It was Shen Youchu!!
A moment ago, Shen Youchu had been too late to help Cheng Hongbing, and she was blaming herself terribly!
’Brother brought me out of the welfare home. I don’t want to be useless, I don’t want to be a burden. I want to be someone who can help my brother and my family!’
Shen Youchu began to wonder, ’What would Zhu Wenhu have done in this situation?’
Soon, Shen Youchu realized that Wu Xiuli was the biggest weakness!
And so, Shen Youchu had quietly moved to Wu Xiuli’s side.
It had to be said, Shen Youchu’s judgment was spot on. Wang Yuanchen was truly insidious, and he really had launched an attack on Wu Xiuli!
Without a second thought, Shen Youchu rushed forward, using her slight, delicate frame to block the rampaging Wang Yuanchen!
At that moment, Shen Youchu had only one thought. ’I finally have a family! I finally have a godmother who treats me so well!’
’Even if it means sacrificing my life, I won’t hesitate for a second!’
Shen Youchu was only at the Quasi-Divine Early Stage. By relying on the advantages of her Cultivation Technique, she could barely survive an encounter with a Divine Realm Early Stage expert.
However, Wang Yuanchen was at the Divine Realm Peak, a hair’s breadth away from breaking through to become a Grandmaster!
Faced with such absolute power, Shen Youchu couldn’t even withstand a single blow!
BOOM!!
Shen Youchu was sent flying by the punch!!
Pain!
Agonizing pain!
But Shen Youchu remained calm. She compressed the blood rising in her throat into a bloody arrow and spat it fiercely at Wang Yuanchen!
It splattered all over Wang Yuanchen’s head and face!
With Shen Youchu’s strength, even a full-powered attack might not have injured Wang Yuanchen, let alone an arrow of blood spat out while severely wounded.
However, Shen Youchu’s move wasn’t meant to injure her enemy, only to stall him!
Shen Youchu could already feel Cheng Yuan brewing an unbelievably terrifying power!
Before she hit the ground, Shen Youchu used her last breath to scream, "Brother! Kill this old bastard! Avenge me!!"
After shouting, Shen Youchu’s vision went black, and she lost consciousness.
Wang Yuanchen could have died from frustration. He never imagined Shen Youchu would charge out so fearlessly!
Even more unthinkable was that Shen Youchu could still spit out a blood arrow after being so heavily injured!
Caught off guard, Wang Yuanchen took the hit. His face stung, though he wasn’t injured, but his vision was temporarily blocked.
Wang Yuanchen quickly raised his arm to wipe the blood from his face!
This brief delay bought Cheng Yuan crucial time!
The energy of the Double Pupil had finally finished gathering!
Cheng Yuan could even faintly feel the space around his eye sockets vibrating slightly!
"Old bastard! You dared to hurt Youchu! You deserve to die!!"
Cheng Yuan fully activated his Double Pupil!
An astonishing amount of energy was released. Microscopic particles from a thousand-square-meter radius converged, forming a stream of hyper-energy particles!
Like a thunderbolt piercing the air, the stream of hyper-energy particles vanished in a flash, instantly striking Wang Yuanchen’s head!
HUMMM!!!
Wang Yuanchen froze. He felt a countless stream of information flooding his mind, like a computer infected with a virus. It crashed instantly, and he briefly lost consciousness!
Just as it takes a long time for a computer to reboot, it would take a long time for his brain to regain consciousness!
Unfortunately for him, Cheng Yuan and Cheng Hongbing had no intention of giving him that time!
At the same time, Cheng Hongbing reached Wang Yuanchen, roaring like a wild beast, "Old bastard! If it weren’t for Youchu, my wife would be dead! You deserve to die!!"
BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!
Cheng Hongbing was like a crazed werewolf!
He threw dozens of punches in a single second!
Among everyone present, besides Cheng Yuan, all anyone else could see was a blur of fists!
In the blink of an eye, Wang Yuanchen’s face was beaten to a pulp!
Cheng Hongbing’s punches grew faster and faster! His power grew greater and greater!
Gradually, Wang Yuanchen’s head began to deform. His eye sockets shattered, and his brain matter was even beaten out!
"Gag! Gag!"
When had Cheng Hongbing’s relatives ever seen such a gruesome scene? One by one, they instinctively covered their mouths and began to dry heave!
However, more than fear, they felt excitement and exhilaration.
"Gag... Go, Hongbing! Beat that old bastard to death!!"
"You old bastard! Weren’t you going to kill our whole family? Go on, kill us then! Gag!~"
Cheng Hongbing maintained his violent assault for a full five seconds. In those five seconds, he threw over three hundred punches, turning Wang Yuanchen’s head into a smashed watermelon!
Wang Yuanchen was deader than dead!
Looking at the mangled scene before him, the rage in Cheng Hongbing’s heart gradually faded. The slightly cracked shackles once again imprisoned the beast within him, and Cheng Hongbing slowly returned to his normal state.
Several seconds passed before Cheng Hongbing came to his senses. He stared blankly at his blood-soaked hands, then at the thoroughly dead Wang Yuanchen, and with a great heave, he began to vomit violently!
Even battle-hardened experts like Wang Yuanlang and Wang Yuanfeng pissed their pants in fear. A hot, acrid stream trickled incessantly down their pant legs.
The two raised trembling hands to point at Cheng Hongbing, their words becoming incoherent. "D-demon! Y-you’re a demon!!"
"No, impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could Eldest Brother die? He’s the number one expert below the Grandmaster realm! How could he die so horribly?"
Cheng Yuan looked at the two of them coldly. "Nothing is impossible! You two old bastards can go down and keep your eldest brother company!"
Wang Yuanfeng was already scared out of his wits. He subconsciously took a step back and nearly fell.
Wang Yuanlang, however, was already facing the end of his life. After a moment of shock, he quickly calmed down.
SLAP!
Wang Yuanlang slapped Wang Yuanfeng hard across the face and roared, "The Third! Pull yourself together! The Wang Family is counting on you! I’ll hold him off, you run!!"
Wang Yuanlang’s slap snapped Wang Yuanfeng to his senses. Without any hesitation, he turned and fled!
’Eldest Brother was dead. Second Brother had taken a Bursting Pill. Now, I am the only Divine Realm Expert left in the Wang Family. If I die too, the Wang Family will be reduced to a third-rate family, bullied by all!’
’I have to live!’
’Only if I stay alive and go into hiding will Cheng Yuan be forced to hold back, too afraid to retaliate against the Wang Family!’
