Chapter 252: Divine Doctor Cheng, Can We Discuss Something?
Elder Wen’s voice choked with emotion. "My grandson, Zihua, died a bizarre death, and we can’t find the cause. Old friend, you have to help me!"
"Take me to see Zihua."
"Master Cha Cai, this way, please."
Led by Wen Zhantian, Cha Cai saw Wen Zihua’s corpse.
As a Black Magic Master, Cha Cai spotted the problem at a glance.
With a flicker of his will, Cha Cai sent a centipede crawling from his sleeve. It zipped into Wen Zihua’s body in an instant.
Soon, Cha Cai received feedback from it.
"Wen, your grandson was subjected to black magic. In the words of your Dragon Country, he was afflicted with a Gu Insect."
"What kind of Gu Insect was it? Who was it that planted it?"
"I can’t say for sure what kind of Gu Insect it is. However, my little pet has memorized its aura. The moment it encounters that Gu Insect again, it will recognize it."
Tears welled in Elder Wen’s eyes. "Zihua, you died such a miserable death! Grandpa will avenge you! I will grind Cheng Yuan’s bones to dust and scatter his ashes!"
Elder Wen took a deep breath, struggling to compose himself. He turned to his son. "Zhan Tian, where is Cheng Yuan now?"
"My men are watching him. They just reported that another group seems to be targeting Cheng Yuan as well. Right now, they’re in a standoff in the underground parking garage of the Chang’an Clubhouse."
"Let’s go!"
...
Cheng Yuan’s Spiritual Power was formidable. The moment he entered the underground parking garage, he faintly sensed that he was being followed.
Cheng Yuan activated his Double Pupil to take a look and found four Grandmasters and one at the Divine Realm Peak.
Possessing the combat strength of a Martial King Middle Stage, Cheng Yuan naturally wasn’t afraid of a few Grandmasters. He swaggered toward the car the He Family had prepared for them.
Just as the two were about to get into the car, the five people tailing them finally lost their patience. They revealed themselves almost simultaneously, grinning maliciously at Cheng Yuan.
"Divine Doctor Cheng, how about we discuss a little something?"
Cheng Yuan asked coolly, "Discuss what?"
"Those three stalks of Divine Medicine of yours—we’ll be taking them. And while we’re at it, we’ll take your Sword Attendant here for a night of fun!"
Cheng Yuan smiled. "Is that your idea of a discussion? I’m guessing you don’t have a clue what it means to be dead."
The five men roared with laughter.
"Hahaha! Divine Doctor Cheng, you’re merely a Divine Realm Grandmaster Late Stage. We have four Grandmasters and one at the Divine Realm Grandmaster Peak. If someone’s going to die, it’s definitely going to be you!"
"Then let’s see you try."
Without any warning, Cheng Yuan took the initiative, throwing a vicious punch at a Grandmaster named Ah Qim!
Ah Qim was enraged. ’A piddling Divine Realm Grandmaster dares to attack me? He’s courting death!’
Ah Qim neither dodged nor evaded, instead throwing a full-powered punch right back at Cheng Yuan! He was confident he could kill him in a single blow!
BOOM! Their fists slammed into each other.
CRACK!
Ah Qim’s arm bent at an unnatural angle, and he let out a bloodcurdling scream!
However, Cheng Yuan didn’t let him go. With a heavy blow to the chest, he pulverized Ah Qim’s internal organs! Ah Qim collapsed to the ground like a log.
"You...!"
Ah Qim’s eyes were wide, staring in death, unable to rest in peace.
"Ah Qim!"
"This one’s tough! Let’s get him together and avenge Ah Qim!"
"Use your weapons!"
Someone shouted, and the remaining four men drew their weapons at once, charging toward Cheng Yuan.
Cheng Yuan’s eyes turned cold. ’If they had scattered and fled immediately, they might have had a chance to live. But they dared to draw their weapons? They’re definitely asking to die!’
SHING! Cheng Yuan drew his Broken Blade and swung it in a vicious arc.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
Their weapons shattered in unison, the broken surfaces as smooth as a mirror, as if cut by a laser.
Before they could even process what had happened, Cheng Yuan’s Broken Sword swept across their necks. A spray of warm liquid gushed out. The four men felt their vision go dark as their consciousness rapidly faded.
THUD! THUD!
One after another, they collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
Hu Shishi was utterly stunned.
’These were four Grandmasters and one Divine Realm Grandmaster Peak!’
’Wiped out, just like that?’
’Her intuition had been right after all. Xiaoyuan really could defeat a Grandmaster with ease!’
"Sister Shishi, could you get Dragon Flame to come clean up this mess?"
"Oh, right..."
"Are you going to open the car door? What are you spacing out for?"
Hu Shishi quickly fumbled for her keys and unlocked the car.
Hu Shishi got into the driver’s seat, but Cheng Yuan didn’t get in. He turned his head toward a spot not far away and said coolly, "Since you’ve come all this way, why don’t you come out for a chat?"
Elder Wen and Cha Cai emerged from behind a large pillar. Elder Wen asked, "Cha Cai, my friend, did you find the aura of that Gu Insect?"
Cha Cai expressionlessly raised his hand and pointed at Cheng Yuan. "It’s on him!"
Elder Wen looked at Cheng Yuan coldly. "Cheng Yuan, at first I thought Zhan Tian was framing you. I never imagined you were truly the one who murdered my grandson!"
Cheng Yuan played dumb. "Old sir, what are you talking about? I don’t understand a word you’re saying!"
Elder Wen snorted. "I’ll give you three seconds. Bring out the Gu Insect that killed my grandson Zihua!"
"Oh, so you’re Wen Zihua’s grandfather? My condolences for your loss, but I really don’t have any Gu Insect."
Elder Wen shot a questioning look at Cha Cai. Cha Cai grinned maliciously. "Wen, I have countless ways to make him bring out that Gu Insect."
As he spoke, Cha Cai flicked his wrist, and a dozen venomous insects, poisonous snakes, and toads shot straight toward Cheng Yuan!
How he could hide so many creatures in his sleeves was a mystery.
Cheng Yuan’s expression changed. ’These things are all highly toxic. A single touch could make my skin fester! I can’t let them touch me!’
Just as Cheng Yuan was wondering how to handle the situation, Little Silkworm’s excited voice rang in his mind. "Master, these spicy treats are all great nourishment! Can Little Silkworm eat them?"
"Of course."
SWOOSH!
A streak of white light flashed past, pouncing on Cha Cai’s venomous creatures in an instant.
In a single moment, their brains were sucked dry. The creatures convulsed nonstop before quickly melting into a pool of sludge!
Far from being surprised, Cha Cai was ecstatic. "What a fine specimen of black magic! A truly rare find! Boy, I’m taking that thing for myself!"
Cha Cai brought out his trump card: the Golden Centipede King.
Cha Cai’s Golden Centipede King was the number one creation of black magic in all of Inca. He had absolute confidence that it could subdue this "little treasure"!
Brimming with confidence, the Golden Centipede King shot toward Little Silkworm like a bolt of lightning!
Whether Little Silkworm was scared stiff or something else entirely, it didn’t react at all.
In an instant, the Golden Centipede King was upon it, sinking its fangs viciously into Little Silkworm’s plump, white body!
Cheng Yuan grew anxious and yelled, "Little Silkworm, watch out! A giant centipede is attacking you!"
But Little Silkworm still didn’t react, allowing the Golden Centipede King to bite down hard!
Cheng Yuan couldn’t bear to watch and instinctively turned his head away. But in the very next second, he heard Cha Cai’s bloodcurdling scream.
"AGH! You little beast! You’ve injured my life-bound familiar!"
