Chapter 57: A Great Revenge is Avenged

  ……

  But if I must say so myself, I'll have to go tease Qu Tianya and ask for a few more of those top-grade spiritual medicines.

  Xiao Ba ate a ling fruit with relish, and glared at his master with a bad temper, as if to say, see, it's still the beautiful girl who is generous. With you as the master, tortoise food can only eat wild fruits and miscellaneous fish.

  Then, Xiao Ba eagerly burrowed into Qu Tianya's arms, using his big round turtle head to nuzzle her chest, with a cute and shameless expression.

  Chen Mo's face turned red with embarrassment, and he felt a bit at a loss for words.

  Kui De's eyes curved upwards as Tian Yao let out another silvery laugh, loving the bird along with its master. He also really liked Xiao Ba. Once again, he took out a water-element spirit fruit from his storage ring and fed it to the bird in an intimate manner.

  No wonder she's a rich young lady, Chen Mo secretly took a glance at her storage ring and his heart ached again. This is a storage ring after all, a treasure that he wouldn't even dare to think about normally.

  The entire Chen family had only one, which was kept by the head of the family, Chen Zhengfeng, and it almost became a token of the head of the family.

  It's been over half a month since the treatment started. The two of them have been together day and night, aside from regular treatments, they would also occasionally chat casually. Occasionally teasing Xiao Ba like just now, although it can't be said that they are very close, but vaguely, one could feel the emotions conveyed through Qu Tianya's facial expressions.

  Fortunately, Qu Xinghe was very generous and paid the full reward in advance.

  This also allowed him to have enough money to invest in buying elixirs. With abundant resources, his cultivation has recently made breakthroughs one after another, and he has been promoted to the second rank of Ling Shi.

  Two people were talking when a servant came to report that Yao Wang was looking for them.

  With a puzzled face, he followed Jia Ding and soon received an invitation from Yao Wang.

  The waiter was meticulous, and the clear tea had already been prepared. He lifted the ceramic lid, and a wisp of fragrance wafted up to his face. Chen Mo took a small sip, and a stream of warmth flowed through his throat and trachea, entering his abdomen, where the heat immediately seeped into his meridians, spreading throughout his body with the flowing blood. It seemed to be regulating his breath, and he couldn't help but close his eyes to feel it. A chill broke through his throat, and a white mist was expelled from his mouth.

  "This tea is called Xiangyi Tea, although it's an ordinary tea, but it has something extraordinary about it. When stir-frying the green tea, it was placed on top of a medicinal cauldron to absorb the essence of various medicinal herbs, which can repair meridians and treat injuries."

  Chen Mo nodded and said seriously: "I don't know why Lao Lai invited Xiao Zi here, what's the matter?"

  "The lord of the castle wants you as his son-in-law, what do you think?"

  The tea in his mouth almost spit out, because the tea is more precious, he swallowed it back.

  Chen Mo stood up straight, his eyes wide with fear.

  "Xuanyuan Gongzi is a talented and upright person who doesn't flatter, and having been with Tianyao for a long time, it's normal for the city master to invite you as his son-in-law."

  Chen Mo was speechless for a moment, and that Tian Yao, although beautiful enough to be considered a national treasure, had never thought about it himself. Suddenly mentioning it was truly unexpected.

  "This matter is of great importance, I must consider it carefully."

  After stalling for some time, Chen Mo returned to his room alone.

  After thinking for a day, Chen Mo decided to leave at night.

  He hoisted Xiao Ba onto his back, and with a speed like lightning, he dashed off like thunder, floating down gently like cotton. In just a few leaps, in the blink of an eye, they had already arrived at a rooftop, below which the layout of the courtyard was clearer than ever; it was a place where people came and went for over a month.

  In one room, candlelight still flickered, casting a yellow glow on the slender figure bent over her embroidery. Qu Tianyao's boudoir was extremely unfamiliar to others, especially men, yet Chen Mo could enter and exit with his eyes closed without missing a single step. Now, as he was about to leave and caught sight of her again, he suddenly felt a pang in his heart.

  But Chen Mo knew he couldn't stop his footsteps at all.

  A flash of movement, and then it drifted away.

  Having calmed down from the emotional turmoil brought by Qu Tianya, Chen Mo still had some things to take care of before leaving. After making arrangements, he left the city and chose to walk on small, secluded forest paths.

  The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, with a gloomy wind blowing in waves. In the forest, there are occasional howls of strange beasts.

  It was just a murderous night.

  He arrived at a dense forest and stopped suddenly. He spun around on his heels and shouted loudly at the tree shadow in front of him:

  "Come out!"

  Xiao Ba certainly didn't know his master's intention, and first found a tree stump, where he began to snore loudly.

  "Hmm, you little scoundrel, thinking of sneaking away." Yan Zhiwu walked over with big strides, finally able to pull out the thorn in his eye and the pain in his flesh. His excitement made his eyes shine with light.

  A man floated down from the tree, although his face couldn't be seen clearly, but Chen Mo knew it in his heart. When he left the Qu family, he deliberately left a clue for the person who was arranged to supervise him, and lured him out by using his trick against him.

  Since we have to leave, how can we leave this tail behind?

  He stood silently on the spot, the cold wind blowing his eyebrows and hair, under the moonlight, looking gloomy and frightening. By his ear, he seemed to hear a voice from two years ago:

  "Chen Hao, what a taste! Haha, trash, both brothers are trash."

  Chen Mo's heart suddenly felt a sharp pain, his mouth twitched slightly, and a flame of anger began to burn in his chest. His fists clenched tightly, making the sound of bones rubbing against each other faintly audible.

  "You little beast, if you can tell me the secret recipe for saving Qing Tianyao, I might spare your life." Yan Zhiwu said lightly, believing that his opponent had already fallen into desperate despair. With his own strength as a fourth-level spiritual master, defeating a novice spiritual master was more than enough. Moreover, he never fought a battle without being confident of winning.

  I had secretly sworn an oath of blood, determined to avenge my brother. Now, my enemy is right in front of me.

  The moonlight lingers, and the enchanting shadows are layered.

  Yan Zhiwu's mouth curled up in a sinister smile, his aura surging with an icy killing intent. With a sudden leap, he struck down with one palm, unleashing a flash of golden light that shot forth like a comet chasing the moon, its ferocity unrelenting.

  His face was calm and steady as a mountain, but beneath it, he had an unyielding determination and courage.

  "Golden Pagoda!"

  Like a thunderclap in the forest, he suddenly rose up with his eyes wide open. Like a golden arhat, he supported his fierce killing move, like a king holding up a mountain, completely hard and unyielding.

  "Slap!"

  The two palms collided and struck each other. Chen Mo only felt his arm go numb for a moment, as if his bones had been broken, and his feet sank an inch into the mud.

  Even if one hates Yan Zhiwu to the extreme, they cannot help but admit that his strength is extraordinary.

  Yan Zhiwu let out a cold snort, his pupils emitting a chilly glow. His fists, like splitting mountains and shattering rocks, carried a faint humming noise as they struck his chest with the force of thunder.

  "Golden Thunder Wave Fist!"

  This move was majestic and powerful, with a dense golden aura that contained a hint of electrifying energy. A mid-tier spiritual technique, unexpectedly he had practiced it to the point where he had achieved some small success.

  Chen Mo's eyebrows tightened, but he didn't show any fear. He gathered all the Xuan Qi in his body to one point, and instantly, his veins bulged out, his arms swelled up, and his muscles were about to burst through his clothes. The Thunder Cannon, which contained the majestic momentum of the Ta Huang's Thunderclap, struck out.

  "Boom!" A loud noise shook the entire forest, and the withered branches around fell off in the powerful shockwave.

  "Whoa~", Chen Mo retreated 7 or 8 steps, panting heavily, his face which was iron-green just now had turned pale white due to being stifled, the huge shock made his body and mind feel like they were electrified, trembling non-stop.

  Yan Zhiwu didn't fare any better, his fists colliding fiercely, his arms trembling violently as if struck by lightning, he retreated several steps back, a pained twitch on his face, his muscles bulging out one by one.

  Chen Mo's ears seemed to echo with the sound of his brother's leg bone shattering from back then. The scene that would wake him up even in his dreams became even more vivid at this moment. His heart suddenly ached with a sharp pain, and the intense pounding sound stimulated his nerves for revenge.

  He gritted his teeth in anger, with a fierce aura rising around him. In his line of sight, there was only the enemy. With each breath, he charged forward fiercely.

  All that was seen was a black shadow flashing by in the forest under the moonlight, accompanied by a heart-rending howl.

  Yan Zhiwu would never have thought that his opponent's cultivation was clearly weaker than his own by two levels, but the actual combat power was so terrifying. That unstoppable Xuan Qi seemed to contain a hint of powerful thunder intent.

  In the flash of a spark, his chest was as if it had been struck by a huge boulder, and with a "wow" sound, a mouthful of blood spurted out and flew backwards.

  Chen Mo's steel teeth bit down, his murderous intent spreading endlessly in his eyes. With a powerful kick from his right foot, Yan Zhiwu's hands were interlocked on his head, and his chest was completely exposed to Chen Mo's gaze.

  "Kung Fu Devil!"

  Chen Mo poured all the dark energy into his palm, and also merged the humiliation accumulated over the years into his blood. His brother was still struggling in pain, this slap, is for his brother!

  A dull thud, Chen Mo's iron fist slammed into Yan Zhiwu's chest, and Yan Zhiwu's feet left the ground as he violently retreated backwards. His body directly crashed into a tree trunk as thick as a bowl, snapping it in two at the waist. The surrounding grass and dust swirled everywhere.

  Looking at Yan Zhiwu lying motionless on the ground, Chen Mo's eyes revealed a strong murderous intent.

  The night wind blows by, and the moonlight shines on his face, making people fearful and trembling.

  "Cough, cough..." A violent cough mixed with blood was spat out from Yan Zhiwu's mouth. Until now, his brain which had been in a daze, finally cleared up, staring with his eyes wide open, glaring fiercely at the youth above him, and said in a hoarse voice: "I am a member of the Yan family, you dare..."

  Chen Mo silently lifted one foot and kicked it towards Yan Zhiwu's knee.

  A cracking sound of bones shattering, followed by a blood-curdling scream that echoed through the forest.

  "Yan Zhiwu, isn't the taste of a broken leg very comfortable? Do you still recognize me?" Chen Mo's foot heavily trampled Yan Zhiwu who was rolling on the ground, his expression somewhat ferocious: "Have you already forgotten that you deliberately set up an ambush to bully me, lure out my older brother and then crippled his legs and damaged his Qi Hai?"

  Yan Zhiwu gritted his teeth and bore the pain, opening his eyes wide to stare at Chen Mo. It wasn't until after a long while that he finally recognized him. Suddenly, he was shocked pale: "You... you're actually that little brat from back then? Chen Huan's younger brother?"

  "Haha, so I'm just a small person in your heart who can't even remember my name." Chen Mo burst out laughing, his laughter sounding desolate: "Yan Zhiwu, Yan Zhiwu, when you wronged my brother back then, did you ever think it would end up like this?"
