Chapter 54

Zheng Shiyi, in just one year, managed to reach the Ninth Wheel of the Qi Wheel Realm through sheer effort? Zheng Song’s brows furrowed tightly; it was the problem with that sword! That sword and its technique were likely the true key!

Zheng Song, supporting his chin, thought that if Zheng Shiyi didn’t discard the sword, there would be trouble when they made a move! And it would be significant trouble!

Damn it! Zheng Shiyi! The Supreme Divine Soul has been extracted! Yet, he rose again with a set of sword techniques! Zheng Song bit his lips hard, thinking about how to make this kid give up using the sword.

Zheng Shiyi faintly felt as if someone was staring at his back. He turned halfway and glanced in that direction with the corner of his eye, just in time to see Zheng Song looking at him with ill intent.

That expression was exactly like the one from that rainy night a year ago!

Everything seemed to have returned to that rainy night a year ago.

"Rumble!"

On a night of torrential rain, with rolling thunder and lightning like whips mercilessly lashing the entire night sky, Zheng Shiyi sat cross-legged in the room. The white light from the lightning flashes continuously illuminated his eyes, but the external environment did not affect him in the slightest.

The raindrops fell on the door, the windows... continuously making a "drip" sound.

"Is this the place?"

After a series of hurried footsteps, several people wearing straw raincoats appeared outside Zheng Shiyi’s room. The raindrops falling on their straw raincoats made even more urgent "drip" sounds.

The one leading the way was a handsome young man with sword-like eyebrows and a high nose bridge! He pointed at Zheng Shiyi’s room and asked the young man with a red mark on his right cheek and uneven teeth beside him.

The young man with uneven teeth nodded and said, "Yes, this is the place."

The handsome young man walked to the door, kicked it open, and entered.

The others quickly followed him in.

Zheng Shiyi opened his eyes and saw the group of intruders, immediately stood up and shouted, "Who are you? How dare you intrude on the Zheng family!"

The handsome young man ignored Zheng Shiyi and turned his gaze to the young man with uneven teeth, asking, "Is he the one?"

The young man with uneven teeth, with a fawning smile, bowed and answered, "Young Master Tianyu, it’s him!"

Zheng Shiyi recognized the young man who answered; he was the grandson of Elder Three, Zheng Xuan—Zheng Song! A few days ago, he had been extorting the monthly allowance from family members and was severely reprimanded by Zheng Shiyi!

"Zheng Song, do you know what you’re doing?" Zheng Shiyi stared coldly at Zheng Song and said, "Bringing outsiders into the Zheng family! Even if you are a direct descendant, you will still be severely punished!"

Zheng Song did not respond, his face always wearing a malicious smile, the smile of a small man who has achieved his goal.

Suddenly, Zheng Tianyu struck a palm from the air, a powerful wave of qi directly hit Zheng Shiyi’s chest like a war hammer. The protective true qi he hastily raised was like paper, instantly shattered by the qi palm, and his chest bones made a series of cracking sounds.

"Spit!"

Zheng Shiyi was thrown back and crashed into the wall, a mouthful of blood spewing out.

Looking at the handsome young man who had injured him with a palm from the air, Zheng Shiyi was secretly alarmed. This person doesn’t look much older than me, yet his cultivation is so strong that he can injure me from a distance! What kind of background does he have?

Two unfriendly figures quickly darted out from behind the handsome young man. Before Zheng Shiyi could get up, they had already come to his side, grabbed him, and pressed him to the ground.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

Behind the door, the sound of footsteps stomping through the rain came, and the family head, Zheng Hanqiu, led a group of people rushing in.

As soon as he entered, the murderous Zheng Hanqiu saw Zheng Tianyu and froze in place.

"Family head..." Zheng Shiyi, with his face pressed to the ground, shouted, "Zheng Song colluded with outsiders..."

"Young Master Tianyu, why have you come?" Zheng Hanqiu interrupted Zheng Shiyi, kneeling on one knee and speaking in a deep voice, "I don’t know how my junior, Shiyi, offended you, but please spare him."

Zheng Tianyu? The genius of the ancestral land? Zheng Shiyi stared dumbfounded at the young man with a cold expression. Is this the first genius of the young generation in the ancestral land, rumored to possess the rare [Sun and Moon Demon Soul]?

Zheng Tianyu did not look at the kneeling Zheng Hanqiu and walked towards Zheng Shiyi.

The two people holding Zheng Shiyi quickly dragged him up.

Zheng Tianyu walked to Zheng Shiyi, formed a strange seal with his hands in front of his chest, and the first genius of the ancestral land’s face turned a demonic red. A powerful suction force was generated between his hands, forming a purple qi hand in the air, which reached for the Supreme Divine Soul in Zheng Shiyi’s dantian!

No good! He wants to take my Supreme Divine Soul! Zheng Shiyi’s true qi rapidly surged, and his arms trembled, trying to shake off the control of the martial artists, but he found that the cultivation gap was too large, and he was like an ant in the hands of a giant.

"Ah? He’s going to suck out Zheng Shiyi’s martial soul?" The kneeling Zheng Hanqiu finally understood Zheng Tianyu’s intentions.

He crawled quickly towards Zheng Tianyu, grabbed the legs of the first genius of the ancestral land, and shouted, "Young Master Tianyu, you can’t do this! He’s our Zheng family’s only hope! Please don’t extract his martial soul!"

"Whatever you want us to do, we’ll do it, as long as you don’t extract his martial soul!"

Zheng Tianyu kicked Zheng Hanqiu away coldly and said, "Get lost!"

Then, he turned around and continued to use the secret technique to extract Zheng Shiyi’s martial soul.

"Damn..." Zheng Shiyi’s body trembled violently. He wanted to resist... but found that he had no strength to resist...

The Supreme Divine Soul, under the influence of the secret technique, began to detach from Zheng Shiyi’s dantian. The intense pain felt like thousands of steel needles piercing his dantian.

The Supreme Divine Soul was an integral and extremely important part of Zheng Shiyi’s body. Being forcibly extracted, in just a moment, his face turned as pale as snow, and large beads of sweat continuously dripped to the ground.

Zheng Hanqiu’s eyes turned bloodshot, staring at Zheng Tianyu. Zheng Shiyi was the hope of the family! Only he, with the Supreme Divine Soul, could make the Zheng family stronger and truly rise, breaking free from the control of the ancestral land.

But now! Zheng Tianyu had come to extract the Supreme Divine Soul! If it were really extracted, Zheng Shiyi would be completely ruined! The family’s rise...

"Damn it!"

Zheng Hanqiu’s teeth were grinding, and the Zheng family had been keeping Zheng Shiyi’s Supreme Divine Soul a secret since they found out about it.

Not to mention the ancestral land, even in the Tianfang City area where they were located, no one outside the Zheng family knew this secret.

The people from the ancestral land had come to take Zheng Shiyi’s Supreme Divine Soul, which could only mean... someone had informed the ancestral land.

He scanned the surroundings with his eyes and saw Zheng Song’s smug smile. He didn’t need to think to know what had happened.

"It’s you..."

Zheng Hanqiu glared at Zheng Song, wishing he could beat him to death right now, but he couldn’t do that at the moment! There were more important things to do!

"Even if it means offending the ancestral land, I can’t let Zheng Tianyu take the Supreme Divine Soul!"

Zheng Hanqiu made up his mind, slapped the ground, and stood up, charging towards Zheng Tianyu with overwhelming momentum.

Zheng Tianyu felt a chill on his back, and his cold expression turned to disdain. He struck a palm in reverse, hitting Zheng Hanqiu’s punch. The collision of true qi and palm created a deafening explosion, and the scattered qi force sent the raindrops outside flying even further.

Zheng Hanqiu felt an irresistible force, and his arm bones made a cracking sound. His body flew backward but was pulled back by Zheng Tianyu’s fingers, and a clean palm landed on his chest again!

"Boom!"

Zheng Hanqiu spat out blood and flew backward.

His chest caved in, and his back was pushed outward, forming a hole. Fresh blood splattered as he flew backward.

The moment he landed, Zheng Hanqiu’s body convulsed as if he had been electrocuted. A moment later... he twisted his head and stopped breathing.

Massacre! The head of the Zheng family, the dominant figure of the city, was ruthlessly and easily killed!

Everyone present was stunned, unable to utter a word.

Zheng Tianyu retracted his palm, as if he had just killed a mosquito, not a family head, and continued to extract Zheng Shiyi’s Supreme Divine Soul without a care.

"Ah..."

Zheng Shiyi’s wails were louder than the thunder outside. Now... no one stood up to help him.

A golden, pulsating light was slowly pulled out from Zheng Shiyi’s body. At that moment, he felt as if his life was being extracted.

Pain! Intense pain made Zheng Shiyi faint instantly!

It came out! Zheng Tianyu’s cold face, upon seeing the Supreme Divine Soul, finally showed excitement, spreading across his entire face.

The seemingly weightless golden Supreme Divine Soul, the moment it was truly extracted, felt like Zheng Tianyu was holding a mountain, and his arms seemed about to break.

"Mine."

Zheng Tianyu pressed the divine soul into his chest, and his body immediately trembled violently, as if struck by lightning.

The forced fusion instantly caused rejection. Zheng Tianyu’s face, which had turned demonic red, became deathly pale, and his body convulsed, spitting out white foam, as if he were about to die.

The divine soul! The Supreme Divine Soul! Containing one of the most powerful forces in history! How easy was it to take?

The two people who had restrained Zheng Shiyi, with tense expressions, said, "Young Master, you haven’t truly fused with the Supreme Divine Soul yet. We should quickly return to the ancestral land to avoid others finding out."

Zheng Tianyu, with the Supreme Divine Soul’s power continuously affecting him, could no longer maintain his initial coldness. His face was grim as he nodded with difficulty, allowing the two to support him and walk out the door.

Zheng Song hurriedly followed, with a fawning smile, and whispered to Zheng Tianyu, "Young Master Tianyu, about what we agreed on before..."

Zheng Tianyu glanced at him coldly, took a pill from his pocket, and threw it to him, saying, "As long as you do your job well, you’ll get what you want."
