Chapter 210: Chapter 210: Life for Life! The Extermination of Teng Family Manor!

Teng Hua, the captain of the guard, flickered and leaped in front of a person in a blink: "Choose the bandit or choose death?"

"I..." The person had already condensed Five Qi and Blood Power, but faced with Teng Hua, still felt suffocated and didn’t know how to respond.

"Then it’s death." A cold gleam flashed, and blood splattered.

Dead?!

The Teng Family Manor dares to kill in front of everyone?!

The crowd finally reacted.

"What about you, bandit or death?" Teng Hua approached another person.

"I... I... I choose the bandit." That person had just started condensing Qi and Blood Power, trembling all over with fear.

Teng Hua nodded coldly, then swept his eyes over the crowd again.

"Do you all understand how to choose now?" A blatant threat.

However, those who came here were all martial artists who had condensed Qi and Blood Power.

At this moment, these people were grouping in threes and twos, seemingly ready for a big fight.

"Heh, heh, you’re all smart people. You came here for silver, so I’ll tell you the truth," Teng Hua brushed the Cold Blade in his palm with a cold expression, "Behind our Teng Family Manor is the Blood Vine Castle."

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd’s expressions changed abruptly.

The bandit they were supposed to choose turned out to be the number one bandit of Xirong County, Blood Vine Castle!

It’s over!

The Teng Family Manor revealed this; if they don’t choose, they will die, because the Teng Family Manor will not let an outsider live knowing this.

"I choose the bandit."

"I also choose the bandit."

"..."

After a brief shock, the crowd quickly made their choices.

However, just as everyone had made their choice, a tall figure silently pushed through the crowd and quietly approached the front.

Black Bear lowered his head, his facial features contorted, his arm muscles condensed like gold and iron, as if burning with raging fury.

He pointed to a person lying in a pool of blood and said, "Is this how you killed my big brother?"

Hm?

In an instant, all eyes focused on him.

Is this person crazy?

Teng Hua raised his gaze, staring at Black Bear, with the blade artifact in his hand emanating a chilling gleam.

"I wondered who it was, turned out to be you, little Black Bear. What, want to avenge your big brother?"

It seemed that Teng Hua, the captain of the Teng Family Manor’s guard, knew Black Bear.

Black Bear’s eyes widened with anger, his iron fists creaking.

He had a big brother who was a friend of Teng Hua, the captain of the Teng Family Manor’s guard.

But just yesterday, after his big brother went to the Teng Family Manor, he never came back.

His big brother would never stay out overnight, and Black Bear had a bad feeling in his heart.

So he mingled with the crowd to the Teng Family Manor, wanting to find his big brother.

But seeing the scene just now, he suddenly understood that his big brother might already be gone.

Behind the Teng Family Manor is the ruthless Blood Vine Castle, and his big brother would never become a mountain bandit.

"Little Black Bear, do you know? Your big brother, he was delicious, especially that scalding heart, tsk tsk..." Teng Hua seemed to be relishing something, his words filled only with mockery.

"Not only did I eat it, but everyone in the Teng Family Manor did, and I even sent the viscera to the Blood Vine Castle. What can you, little Black Bear, do?"

"Beast!"

As the words fell, Black Bear roared like a bear and charged forward as if to tear Teng Hua apart.

"Overestimating oneself."

Teng Hua, however, gently raised his hand, and Black Bear’s massive body suddenly stiffened in mid-air, his neck gripped tightly by a large hand.

Meanwhile, in the crowd, a short woman among the two disguised women seemed ready to take action.

"Sister..."

"Don’t move, this is his fate."

They were here, not just for the silver.

Although unwilling to witness, they had more important things to do.

Teng Hua looked at Black Bear with contempt, his tone even more mocking: "Let me tell you again, your so-called big brother, was eaten by me yesterday, raw, and last night I shat him out in the toilet, hahaha...."

"Hahaha..." The guards around the square in the Teng Family Manor all followed with laughter.

"Cough cough..." Black Bear’s mouth overflowed with blood, his eyes bloodshot, anger fueling his massive body, but strangely, he wore a smile.

It was a grim smile, an incomprehensible smile.

At death’s door, how could one still smile?

The crowd, tricked into coming here, watched coldly.

Teng Hua snorted coldly, his five fingers gradually exerting force.

When the strength reached halfway, Black Bear’s bones emitted a cracking sound, and a large mouthful of blood dripped from his mouth.

But just then, the once fierce-looking Teng Hua suddenly turned pale.

He forcefully withdrew the right hand that was gripping Black Bear’s neck, his fingers had turned pitch black, followed by a numbing sensation.

"Not good! It’s poison!"

Black Bear’s body fell heavily to the ground, his face maintaining a grim smile.

He knew he was no match for Teng Hua and couldn’t even resist, so to avenge his big brother, he chose to trade his life for his life.

This poison, the more Qi and Blood Power is used, the faster one dies.

Teng Hua, as startled as a frightened young beast, hastily activated his Qi and Blood Power, trying to stop the spread of the poison.

However, as soon as the Qi and Blood Power reached his arm, it was corroded by the poison and even accelerated its spread.

Seeing the black gas crawl from his fingers to the back of his hand...

"Antidote, antidote!" Teng Hua shouted to the person beside him.

However, whether it was the people who were tricked here or the Teng Family Manor’s guards, no one dared to touch Black Bear.

After all, they had witnessed with their own eyes that it was after Teng Hua touched Black Bear that he was poisoned.

"You, search him, or I’ll cut you!" Teng Hua used his poisonous hand to grab someone.

The person immediately panicked, the place he was grabbed quickly turning pitch black, accompanied by a numbness.

"Go!" Teng Hua held a blade to his neck.

The person, with a bitter expression, went to search, but after a long search, found not even a piece of broken silver, let alone an antidote.

"Where’s the antidote?!"

The black gas had already spread over his whole hand, and Teng Hua, appearing crazed, yelled at Black Bear.

"Cough cough..." Black Bear spat out a mouthful of blood, laughed miserably, and said, "There is no antidote."

"Courting death! You’re courting death!" Teng Hua’s right hand had already lost feeling, and even the back of his hand began to rot. He raised his blade artifact high, seemingly about to slash Black Bear.

But the blade stopped abruptly at Black Bear’s chest.

Before getting the antidote, Black Bear cannot die!

"Take all these people to the main castle, now! Immediately!"

Teng Hua shouted angrily at the guards of the Teng Family Manor, then grabbed Black Bear and left the plaza in a hurry and fury.

"Yes... yes..."

"Black Bear, you’d better hand over the antidote, or I, Teng Hua, will make you wish you were dead!"

"..."

...

After dealing with the Chen family’s three sisters, Chu Ming headed eastward.

As dusk approached, a manor appeared before him.

This was the Teng Family Manor, one of the strongholds of the Blood Vine Castle hidden in Wind Vine County.

"Stop there, recruitment has ended for today, come back tomorrow!"

At the manor entrance, several guards in uniform, armed with weapons, stopped him.

Chu Ming stood still, with an indifferent expression.

"Are you deaf?!" The guard drew his blade threateningly, ready to cut Chu Ming down on the spot if he did not leave.

Chu Ming ignored them, while the Sword Gourd Spirit spread out, covering the entire Teng Family Manor.

The manor was large, with many people, over three hundred martial artists reeking of blood, including the guards in front of him.

He stepped forward, disregarding the blade artifacts.

"Courting death!" The guards charged at him instantly.

Bang, bang, bang——

Shadows flashed in the void, and with each collision, one was killed.

In just two steps, over ten guards at the manor’s entrance were all dead with shattered chests.

From start to finish, Chu Ming walked coldly, showing no action.

The Black Stone obtained from slaying the evil spirits, though not sharp, could be used as a blunt weapon to kill martial artists in the Blood Circulation Realm and Strong Bone Realm.

It couldn’t kill those in the Refining Organ Realm, but it could seriously injure them.

This was the terror of the Primordial Consciousness controlling the Black Stone.

"Who the hell are you?"

Entering the manor, more guards from the Teng Family Manor surrounded him.

The Black Stone hovered by his side, Chu Ming glanced once, and the shadow responded by blasting out.

Bang, bang, bang——

Without exception, another dozen fell, having their organs consumed.

More guards rushed out, from the early stage of the Blood Circulation Realm to the middle stage, late stage, and perfection...

Yet no one could resist him for even a moment.

"Mighty warrior, is there some misunderstanding with our Teng Family Manor?"

Half an incense stick later, corpses littered the Teng Family Manor, and Chu Ming had already fought his way to the main hall.

In the main hall were the manor master, deputy manor master, young master, and others of Teng Family Manor.

The Black Stone hovered, dripping scarlet liquid, terrifying the Teng Family Manor members.

"Our Teng Family Manor is a merchant in Wind Vine County, engaging only in legitimate business. Mighty warrior, are you in financial difficulty? We can provide..."

Boom——

Before the manor master could finish, the Black Stone was blasted out mid-air, crushing the manor master’s internal organs and leaving him dead with a collapsed chest.

The others immediately fled in terror.

However, the Black Stone followed like a shadow, and within a few breaths, there was no more noise there.

After killing these people, Chu Ming’s steps did not pause, continuing deeper into the manor.

Inside the manor, in a dark, damp dungeon.

"Black Bear, give me the antidote, and I, Teng Hua, promise to spare your life."

Teng Hua, holding a red-hot iron block in his left hand, looked viciously at Black Bear, who was bound hand and foot.

Meanwhile, his right hand, from fingers to back of the hand, and then to the forearm, had been completely corrupted by black qi.

"There is no antidote."

Black Bear’s body was pitch black, deeply poisoned.

"You forced me! It was you who forced me!" Teng Hua viciously pressed the branding iron against Black Bear’s wounded flesh.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...

In an instant, smoke rose straight up.

Black Bear’s face twisted in pain, large beads of sweat rolled down, yet he struggled to maintain a cold smile.

"Teng Hua, you harmed my big brother, you won’t die a good death either, there’s no antidote for this poison, just wait to rot away and die!"

Tear——

Teng Hua flew into a rage, pressing another branding iron onto him.

Next, he took a sharp knife and cut into the flesh just seared by the branding iron.

"You want me dead, I’ll skin and flesh you alive first, just like your big brother, and throw you into the latrine!"

Teng Hua had gone mad, stuffing each piece of flesh he cut off into his mouth.

Then the second piece, the third piece...

The intense pain made Black Bear tremble all over, consciousness blurry.

But even so, he maintained a grim smile.

His big brother had raised him, brother like a father, avenging his big brother with his life seemed worth it.

"Old dog Teng Hua, my cheap life means little, but eat more of my flesh, it will help you die faster!"

"Seeking death! Seeking death!" Teng Hua roasted and cut simultaneously, looking like a mindless beast.

One was deranged, the other insane.

Outside.

Chu Ming wore a solemn expression, moving swiftly, heading straight for the dungeon.

Boom——

The iron door to the dungeon was blasted open, a stench rushing in.

Without any pause, Chu Ming’s figure flickered continuously, rushing towards the depths of the dungeon.

In front of him, the Black Stone charged even faster.

"Seeking death! Seeking death!" Teng Hua had just raised the branding iron, ready to press it down, when suddenly the sound of something tearing through the air came from behind.

The next moment.

Boom——

Teng Hua was sent flying.
