“Father’s left leg is broken and needs bone setting, Tai Yi, help support him.”
“Alright.”
She quickly stepped forward, adjusting Uncle Shu’s broken bones into place.
Shu Yu then fetched gauze and wooden boards from the house to stabilize the fracture.
Afterward, she began to address the wound on his wrist.
At this moment, Liang Hui also stood up and walked towards the parlor outside.
“Is that you, Tai Yi? Wait,” a hoarse voice called from behind him.
“Dad, you’re awake,” Shu Yu exclaimed with surprise. She couldn’t stop the tears from sliding down her cheeks.
“Uncle Shu, it’s good that you’re alright.”
Liang Hui turned around, speaking softly.
Uncle Shu’s cloudy eyes watched the tall figure standing at the threshold of the parlor.
Although his consciousness was blurry when he was rescued, he roughly guessed what had happened, right?
After all, that Second Young Master from the Chen Family didn’t intend to let him live after the fourth son died.
“Yu girl, go get some paper and a brush.”
“Okay,” said Shu Yu. After glancing at the two people in the parlor, she ran to the study.
“Yu girl and I can still leave the city now, and it won’t involve you,” Uncle Shu said hoarsely, with implied meaning.
He paused before adding, “The Chen Family has Bone Refining Stage warriors as well.”
The youth nodded, not replying. He looked up at the drizzling rain in the courtyard.
In such weather, did it mean sending a frail girl and an old man who could hardly walk out of the city to their deaths?
And once the weather cleared, given the power of the Chen Family, they likely wouldn’t make it far, would they?
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Amid the footsteps, Shu Yu placed the brush and paper aside.
“I’m saying, Yu girl, you draw.”
This 𝓬ontent is taken from fгeewebnovёl.co𝙢.
“Mm.”
With the old man’s low, hoarse instructions, a simplified drawing of the estate started to take shape on the paper.
When the final stroke was drawn, the old man pointed at the paper and slowly drifted off to sleep.
Liang Hui stepped forward, picked up the paper, and glanced at it, etching its contents into his mind before heading out of the parlor.
“Be careful,” came a weak yet gentle utterance from behind him.
“I will be back soon, and after today, life will go on as usual.”
The young man nodded.
With a burst of speed, he leaped over the wall and disappeared into the curtain of rain.
Shu Yu, who was carefully treating the wounds, finally looked up towards the direction in which the figure had vanished. The once gentle gaze in her eyes now brimmed with worry.
In the wind and rain, Liang Hui advanced, his murderous intent churning. Now that he had intervened, he was determined to go all out.
At this moment, he no longer needed to hold back. Relying on his own strength, he was more than capable of fighting to the death against a Martial Artist of the Bone Refining Stage.
The empty streets, blurred by the light rain, saw the figure in a black robe sprinting rapidly.
He soon sneaked into the inner city and arrived at the front of the Chen Family Estate, appearing before a luxurious residence no less extravagant than the Wang Family’s.
This time, Liang Hui did not choose to leap over the wall. Instead, he strode up to the tightly closed gates.
His feet, legs, and waist all exerted force at once, slamming into the heavy gate.
Bang!
Under the immense power, the internal bolts snapped, and the gates swung open.
“Who goes there?”
“This is the Chen Family Estate, how dare you barge in?”
The two guards inside the door shouted, hoping to attract more people, while they drew their long blades and charged to attack.
They were met with a swift thrust that passed through the rain curtain in an instant.
Puff! Puff!
The spearhead easily pierced both their throats, and bright red blood spurted from the back of their necks.
Liang Hui didn’t linger on the fallen bodies. With spear in hand, he pressed toward the room where the Chen Family Patriarch resided.
Clashes of arms and the chaotic sound of footsteps rose from all around.
Figure after figure emerged from the drizzle, no questions asked, only the cold glint of metal carried with them.
There were ordinary guards, Skin Refining Warriors, and even Muscle Refining Warriors.
Most of these people had been adopted by the Chen Family from a young age and were cultivated into staunchly loyal followers.
At the loud crash of the main gate being smashed open, they were the first to investigate.
Liang Hui, seeing the crowd rushing towards him, not only did not slow down but instead sped up even more.
The long spear in his hand, like a silver snake, left trails of afterimages in the veil of rain, each thrust stirring up blood and screams.
Be it ordinary people or Skin Refining and Muscle Refining Warriors, none could withstand the spear.
In just a moment, there were already more than a dozen floating corpses, some with pierced throats, others with their necks brutally snapped, all dying in a grisly state.
“Who are you, sir? Where has my Chen Family offended you, sir? We are willing to make compensation!” A voice called out from amidst the rain, the bloody slaughter prompting the Chen Family to consider their options.
Fight!
He advanced without the slightest desire for conversation.
The bloodstained spear thrust forward again, claiming another life.
At this moment, it seemed that the surrounding guards realized something.
Was the masked stranger moved by a blood feud? A Demon Cultivator seeking materials? It was no longer important. They only knew that today, only one side would survive.
Under the leadership of the Muscle Refining Warriors, each with a ferocious face and howling, they charged into battle.
The bloody fight began anew.
…
In the Chen Residence, within the room where the Patriarch usually received distinguished guests.
Chen Gu listened with a grim expression to the sounds of combat not far away.
By his side sat a figure shrouded in a yellow robe.
“Elder Huang, my apologies, it seems I must excuse myself for a while.”
“Let’s go together, Chen Family Patriarch, I’m also curious to see who has wreaked such havoc upon you,” the aged voice emerged from the yellow-clad figure.
“Thank you, Elder Huang, the Chen Family will spare no effort in the matters of your Taoist order,” he said, seemingly reminding the figure in the yellow robe of the Chen family’s usefulness.
Without further ado, he stood up and strode out the room.
Turning to the servants still guarding the door, Chen Gu issued another command.
“Notify the authorities, tell them the Chen Family is under attack, and demand immediate support.”
“Yes, Patriarch,” replied the servant, who immediately ran in the direction opposite the sounds of combat.
At that moment, Chen Gu also hastened his steps, hurrying towards the noise of battle.
Suddenly, all the howling and the clashing of metal ceased abruptly.
Before Chen Gu lay nothing but floating corpses and the earth stained red with fresh blood.
A tall figure stood holding a bloodstained spear, calmly watching the two men approaching.
“Chen Family Patriarch, Chen Gu.”
“Scoundrel! You deserve to die!” Seeing the corpses scattered about, Chen Gu’s heart bled.
The deceased were all sons of the Chen family, raised from childhood! They had been educated to be loyal to the Chen family, willing even to attempt the assassination of an empress, yet now nearly ninety percent of them lay dead here.
‘It seems it’s you then,’ Liang Hui murmured in his heart, watching Chen Gu’s roar.
The next moment, the tall figure, swift as an arrow shot from its bow, appeared before Chen Gu, the spear thrusting unhesitatingly.
Facing the rapid thrust, Chen Gu’s eyes showed a hint of scorn.
Red Inner Qi surfaced from his palm, perfectly grasping the shaft of the spear.
Then, he applied force.
Crack!
The spear snapped cleanly in two.
The other palm, imbued with red Inner Qi, followed the shaft toward Liang Hui’s chest with a slashing motion.
Liang Hui released the shaft and leapt backward, dodging the deadly palm strike.
