Chapter 173: Innate Lifeless Vein
Cheng Yuan saw the Wang brothers’ little scheme at a glance. How could he let Wang Yuanfeng escape?
’None of this was my fault!’
’It was Jin Pengfei who stole my girlfriend and colluded with the powerful to have me thrown in jail!’
’And now, the Wang Family brothers had come to my door, looking to kill.’
’If Youchu hadn’t stepped forward, my mom would be a corpse right now!’
’There was absolutely no way I’m letting Wang Yuanfeng get away!’
"And where do you think you’re going?"
Cheng Yuan’s figure blurred as he shot straight for Wang Yuanfeng!
"Kid, you’ll have to get through me first!"
Wang Yuanlang charged in from the side, attempting to block Cheng Yuan’s path. But soon, a look of utter despair crossed his face!
The Jujube Tree Immortal had suddenly thrust out two branches—the only two intact ones it had left.
The Jujube Tree Immortal had also been severely wounded and its power had plummeted. These two branches weren’t enough to contend with Wang Yuanlang, but they could hinder him for a moment.
And that was enough.
BOOM! BOOM!
Wang Yuanlang shattered the branches with two punches. Seizing the opportunity, Cheng Yuan had already caught up to Wang Yuanfeng!
"Where do you think you’re running, old man?"
"Cheng Yuan, you little bastard! I’ll fight you to the death!"
Knowing he was no match, Wang Yuanfeng steeled himself and took out a Bursting Pill! He was ready to take Cheng Yuan down with him!
Cheng Yuan had already fallen for this once and was on guard. With a flick of his wrist, he shot out two Silver Needles.
SWISH! SWISH!
The two Silver Needles struck Wang Yuanfeng squarely on the wrist.
Wang Yuanfeng let out a muffled grunt, and the Bursting Pill fell onto the lawn.
"Old man! Die!"
Like an enraged lion pouncing on a hyena, Cheng Yuan lunged forward viciously, slamming a fist into Wang Yuanfeng’s throat.
With a sickening CRUNCH, Wang Yuanfeng’s throat was utterly crushed.
SNAP! The immense Penetration Power of the blow snapped his cervical vertebrae.
Wang Yuanfeng’s head drooped limply, the light in his eyes slowly fading.
In his last moments, Wang Yuanfeng was filled with regret.
’Why on earth did the Wang Family have to provoke a monster like Cheng Yuan?’
’No, Cheng Yuan’s father is even more of a monster than he is!’
"Third Brother!"
Wang Yuanlang’s eyes were bloodshot, tears welling in them. He couldn’t accept this outcome.
They were three cultivators in the Divine Realm, facing only three in the Quasi-Divine Realm. Yet the end result was that all three Wang Family brothers had been wiped out!
Meanwhile, their opponents had only one severely injured little girl.
’This is impossible!’
"Cheng Yuan, you little bastard! I’ll kill you!"
Wang Yuanlang roared and charged at Cheng Yuan.
Unfortunately, Wang Yuanlang was already a spent force. Overwhelmed by rage and grief, when he tried to furiously channel his True Essence, his heart meridians snapped instantly!
The expression on Wang Yuanlang’s face froze. He knew he was about to die; revenge was nothing but a pipe dream.
’The most important thing now is to warn the Wang Family, to tell the direct bloodline to flee immediately!’
’As far away as possible!’
Wang Yuanlang hurriedly pulled out his phone, but to his despair, he remembered that the Wang Family had jammed the signal at Villa Number One before they arrived.
His phone had no signal.
Wang Yuanlang let out a bitter laugh. ’Is this my retribution?’
It was Wang Yuanlang’s final thought.
THUD. Wang Yuanlang collapsed to the ground, his breathing ceased, dying with his eyes wide open in grievance.
To be safe, Cheng Yuan checked the three Wang Family brothers. He breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming they were all completely dead.
Wu Xiuli’s heart ached as she picked up Shen Youchu. Staring at the girl’s pale little face, her tears streamed down endlessly.
"You foolish child! Youchu, you foolish, foolish child! Why were you so silly? It should have been me! Don’t scare your godmother, wake up! Please, wake up! If you just wake up, I won’t be your godmother anymore! I’ll be your real mother!"
But no matter how Wu Xiuli called out to her, Shen Youchu didn’t respond.
Wu Xiuli could only place her hopes in her son. She shouted at Cheng Yuan, "Xiaoyuan, get over here and look at Youchu! You have to save her! If you don’t, I’ll disown you as my son!"
Cheng Yuan rushed over at once and placed his hand on Shen Youchu’s wrist to check her pulse.
Cheng Yuan let out a small sigh of relief. ’She still has a pulse. Youchu isn’t dead!’
But his expression quickly turned grave.
Shen Youchu was too severely injured. Her Innate Body was nearly destroyed, and now she had an Innate Lifeless Vein.
Even if he used his Celestial Medical Skill to save her, Shen Youchu would be left incredibly frail. Unless... unless he could find two of the ten legendary Divine Medicines recorded in the Celestial Witch Inheritance.
He would need them to refine the legendary Celestial Witch Foundation Establishment Pill and rebuild her foundation.
Otherwise, Shen Youchu would be a sickly invalid for the rest of her life.
Cheng Yuan’s fury surged.
’Damn that Wang Family!’
’They must pay for this!’
Seeing the grim look on Cheng Yuan’s face, Wu Xiuli asked nervously, "Xiaoyuan, Youchu isn’t going to..."
Cheng Yuan reassured her, "Mom, don’t worry. Youchu can be saved. She’ll just be weak for a while, and she’ll need you to take care of her during that time."
Wu Xiuli breathed a small sigh of relief. "No problem, not a problem at all! As long as you can save her, I’ll take care of her for the rest of her life!"
Cheng Yuan couldn’t help but chuckle. "It’s not like Youchu will be paralyzed and unable to move. She’ll grow up and get married someday. How are you going to take care of her for her whole life?"
Seeing Cheng Yuan smile, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though Shen Youchu had only been with them for a day, she was such a sweet-talker—so pure and adorable. Who wouldn’t love a child like that?
Wu Renqing said gently, "It’s good that Youchu will be okay. Xiaoyuan, what do we do with these three old men? We’re not going to get sued, are we?"
Cheng Yuan glanced dispassionately at the three corpses and said coldly, "Don’t worry, Uncle. Our family will never get dragged into a lawsuit again. I can handle this myself."
’I’ll just bag them up and dump them in the open ocean to feed the fish,’ Cheng Yuan thought. ’I’d even be doing my part for the environment.’
Suddenly, the Jujube Tree Immortal’s weak voice echoed in Cheng Yuan’s mind.
"Master, could you bury the bodies of these three old men next to me? I am severely injured and need a great deal of energy to recover my strength. If I use them as nutrients, the effect will be no less than that of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures."
Cheng Yuan was taken aback. ’That works?’
However, Cheng Yuan didn’t agree right away. "Xiaozao, these are three human bodies. I don’t want to leave any evidence behind."
"Master, just bury them next to me. I guarantee that within 24 hours, not even a bone fragment will remain."
Cheng Yuan’s eyes lit up. ’Xiaozao’s cleanup service is that efficient?’
"If that’s the case, then it’s worth considering."
"Dad, Uncle, Second Uncle-in-law, give me a hand. We’re burying these three old men next to Xiaozao."
After that battle, Cheng Yuan had become the undisputed pillar of the family.
The three men nodded readily, quickly gathering various tools and starting to dig a hole.
The women of the family pitched in as well. In less than half an hour, the family had dug a large pit three meters long, two meters wide, and two and a half meters deep.
Cheng Yuan kicked the three old men into the pit, one by one.
