Mu Qingshui instantly transformed into a streak of light and entered Zhang Fan's jade pendant.
After Zhang Fan was crippled, whenever someone from the Zhang family came to visit, she would hide inside the jade pendant; her identity could not be exposed yet.
“Ling'er, what’s wrong?”
Zhang Ling'er cried, “Brother, Mother went to the Medicinal Pill Pavilion this morning to get you a Medicinal Pill, but Chu XiongHui and Chu Mengli, that father and daughter, refused to give it and even slapped Mother!”
Chu XiongHui was Chu Mengli’s father and was currently an Elder of the Medicinal Pill Pavilion. He had been promoted by Zhang Fan’s father, Zhang Zichen. Now, he was actually repaying kindness with enmity, bullying Zhang Fan’s family!
“The Chu family, there isn't a single good person among them!”
Zhang Fan was furious. He grabbed a sword from his room and rushed towards the Medicinal Pill Pavilion.
“Brother… your cultivation has recovered?!”
Seeing Zhang Fan looking full of vigor, Zhang Ling'er’s adorable face was filled with shock.
One must know that her brother, Zhang Fan, had been framed and crippled a year ago, living each day in a daze.
But today, he had completely changed from his previous decadent state?
…
Inside the Medicinal Pill Pavilion.
Zhang Fan’s mother, Wang Qin, knelt on the ground, her face scarlet, blood oozing from the corner of her mouth, trembling as she looked at the father and daughter in front of her.
The sneering expressions on Chu Mengli and Chu XiongHui’s faces were completely undisguised.
“That Zhang Fan is nothing but a cripple. In one year, how many Grade One Spirit Pills has he consumed from the Medicinal Pill Pavilion? Has he shown any improvement? I must have been blind back then to have fallen for such a cripple!”
Chu Mengli’s face was full of indifference.
Her figure was graceful, and her face was beautiful, making her a rare beauty.
“You, you two shouldn’t go too far. When my husband returns, I…”
Wang Qin hadn't even finished speaking when Chu XiongHui slapped her across the face, forcefully interrupting her.
“Your husband? Do you think your husband can still be your backer? He has been in the Forbidden Mountain Range for a full six months. He’s probably already dead inside and will never return!”
Chu XiongHui’s face was filled with smugness. Ever since Zhang Zichen lost contact, the Zhang family had been almost completely controlled by the Chu family.
If Zhang Zichen were still here, Chu XiongHui wouldn't dare to do this even with a hundred guts.
The Forbidden Mountain Range was infested with Demonic Beasts, and every step was fraught with danger. For many years, countless powerful cultivators had entered but none had returned alive.
Zhang Zichen had been gone for half a year and hadn't returned, so he must have died in the mountain range.
With Zhang Zichen dead, the Zhang family would only have a woman without cultivation and a crippled Zhang Fan.
As an Elder of the Zhang family’s Medicinal Pill Pavilion, wouldn't he be able to bully the two of them as he pleased?
“Someone, drag this fellow out for me! To encounter something like this so early in the morning, it's simply bad luck!”
Two servants rushed forward, grabbed Wang Qin, and were about to throw her out.
“Madam, we can't help it. The master has been gone for half a year without returning, his life or death unknown. The Zhang family has already been controlled by the Chu family.”
“Exactly, blame it on your bad luck for having such a husband and a crippled son!”
But at this moment, a furious roar suddenly came from outside the Medicinal Pill Pavilion.
“Anyone who touches my mother, dies!”
As the voice fell, Zhang Fan was seen rushing into the Medicinal Pill Pavilion!
Swish!
Swish!
Two flashes of sword light passed, and blood splattered.
“My… my hand!”
“Ah!”
The two subordinates who were holding Wang Qin immediately let out pig-like screams, quickly retreating a few steps, with two severed arms lying on the ground.
There were still many people in the Medicinal Pill Pavilion. Seeing this scene, their eyes widened sharply.
That sword strike just now was too fast; they didn't even see when Zhang Fan drew his sword!
“Mother, how are you? Your face…”
Zhang Fan hurriedly helped his mother up, his face full of worry. Seeing the two scarlet handprints on his mother’s face, he was consumed by rage.
“Mother is fine…”
Wang Qin’s eyes instantly welled up with tears. In the past, she had endured humiliation from Chu XiongHui and others without ever crying, but now, seeing her son arrive, Wang Qin could no longer hold back.
“Mother, it’s all my fault. It’s my mistake for letting you suffer! From now on, let your son seek justice for you!”
Seeing his mother in such a state, Zhang Fan felt as if his heart was being cut. He then coldly swept his gaze over everyone present, finally settling on the Chu father and daughter.
“You two dogs, how dare you hit my mother! If it weren't for me, Zhang Fan, one of you would be a Zhang family servant, and the other a Zhang family maid!”
“You scoundrel, the position of Medicinal Pill Pavilion Elder was obtained by my, Chu’s, outstanding ability. What does it have to do with you, Zhang Fan?”
“If you dare cause trouble here, I have the right to apprehend you and hold you accountable!”
Chu XiongHui was enraged upon hearing this. Spiritual Qi surged out from his body, and he reached out a hand towards Zhang Fan’s neck.
Zhang Fan had already become a cripple, so he didn’t even put Zhang Fan in his eyes. That scene just now was merely because Zhang Fan’s swordsmanship was good!
Even if a person without Spiritual Qi, with a shattered Dantian and broken Meridians, possessed powerful swordsmanship, what good would it do?
He was at Foundation Establishment Stage Five; wouldn't he still be able to trample Zhang Fan underfoot?
A barely noticeable cold smile played on Zhang Fan’s lips.
If he had been crippled, Zhang Fan truly wouldn't have been able to withstand Chu XiongHui’s palm.
But now, his body had been nourished by the Xuan Yin Cauldron, which not only repaired his shattered Dantian and Meridians but also made them stronger than before, and he had even recovered his Foundation Establishment Stage Five strength!
“Just now, it was this hand of yours that hit my mother, wasn’t it?”
Zhang Fan’s body moved like a phantom towards Chu XiongHui, his right hand directly clenching into a fist and smashing towards Chu XiongHui’s left arm!
Chu XiongHui’s face had already changed drastically after witnessing Zhang Fan’s Aura, but it was too late!
Bang!
Crack!
A bone-shattering sound that made one’s teeth ache rang out, and Chu XiongHui’s entire left arm was directly bent at a ninety-degree angle.
“Ah! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”
Chu XiongHui endured the heart-wrenching pain, clutched his broken arm, and Spiritual Qi fiercely erupted, pushing Zhang Fan back!
“You, weren’t your Meridians severed, your Dantian destroyed, and you became a cripple? You’ve recovered your strength?!”
Chu XiongHui was astonished. With just one move, he discovered that Zhang Fan’s strength had already reached Foundation Establishment Stage Five!
Zhang Fan smiled coldly, “Sorry, old man, I’ve disappointed you!”
“So what? A cripple who just entered Foundation Establishment Stage Five, and whose body has just recovered, can he beat me? I was just careless and didn't dodge!”
As soon as his words fell, Chu XiongHui’s face suddenly twisted. A more intense pain than that of his broken arm surged into Chu XiongHui’s mind!
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, on Chu XiongHui’s broken arm, streaks of Yin Qi inscriptions actually emerged. These inscriptions, as if alive, rapidly spread from the wound, covering Chu XiongHui’s entire arm in the blink of an eye!
The Extreme Yin Demonic Qi of the Xuan Yin Cauldron.
After Zhang Fan mastered the Xuan Yin Cauldron, every one of his attacks would carry the Extreme Yin Demonic Qi.
“What the hell is this?!”
Chu XiongHui hurriedly circulated all the Spiritual Qi in his body to resist, but it had no effect whatsoever. The Demonic Qi had already climbed onto his shoulder.
No!
If this continued, he would definitely die!
Although he didn't know what this was, he could feel the threat of death!
Chu XiongHui directly drew his sword, gritted his teeth, and with one swing, chopped towards his own arm.
