Chapter 465: Take Calcium Supplements for Osteoporosis
Gu Tiannan pushed his True Essence to its absolute limit, unleashing the Gu Family’s ancestral Secret Technique—the Red Snake Leg!
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
In an instant, Gu Tiannan kicked out a flurry of afterimages. He was clearly a frail old man, yet his legs were astonishingly flexible.
The angles and positions of his kicks were exceptionally devious!
It was a dazzling display!
The hearts of the Gu Family members pounded in their chests as they showered him with sycophantic praise.
"The Patriarch is incredible! His Red Snake Leg has reached the highest level! With a single kick, he creates five or six afterimages! My Red Snake Leg can only manage three at most!"
"Five or six afterimages aren’t even the most impressive part! Look closely—every single afterimage has several different variations! I’ve practiced the Red Snake Leg for over twenty years, and I can’t even see through them. That kid with the surname Cheng is a dead man!"
"With the Patriarch’s might, he can definitely defeat Hu Yidao and become the number one figure in the Dongshan Martial Dao Community!"
Gu Tiannan basked in the praise. To show off, he added a few more superfluous afterimages, making the display look even more magnificent!
Cheng Yuan was completely enveloped by the leg afterimages!
It was a full 360-degree attack with no blind spots!
Gu Miao spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with broken teeth and sneered, "Cheng Yuan! Still acting tough? This day next year will be the anniversary of your death! Die!!!"
It had to be said, Gu Tiannan’s leg technique was truly superb. Even Hu Yidao would have found it troublesome to deal with!
Unfortunately for Gu Tiannan, his opponent was Cheng Yuan!
Cheng Yuan activated his Double Pupil, effortlessly analyzing all the variations within the afterimages and easily locking onto the real one.
He slowly extended a single finger, aiming it at the true leg.
Gu Tiannan was momentarily stunned. ’How did Cheng Yuan find the real leg? Impossible! Even if Hu Yidao were here, he couldn’t have found it this easily!’
’He must have just gotten lucky!’
Gu Tiannan put more force into his kick. He was going to snap Cheng Yuan’s finger!
In a flash, Gu Tiannan’s leg bone collided heavily with Cheng Yuan’s fingertip!
CRACK!
A crisp crack of bone echoed. Gu Tiannan was ecstatic. ’This kid is too arrogant, using a single finger to block my Red Snake Leg!’
’His bone must be broken now, right?’
Gu Tiannan executed a stylish leg retraction. Then, he felt the strength drain from the right leg he had just landed on. His body swayed and, with a THUD, he collapsed to the ground!
Before Gu Tiannan could even process what had happened, an excruciating pain shot up from his right leg!
"Ugh!"
Gu Tiannan couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan. He instinctively looked toward the source of the pain and saw a grotesquely twisted, broken leg!
Gu Tiannan simply couldn’t believe what was happening to him!
’There must be a mistake!’
’How could I be the one with the broken bone?’
The members of the Gu Family were completely dumbfounded, staring blankly at the scene unfolding before them.
Their minds were a total mess.
’The Patriarch is a Martial King!’
’Shouldn’t he have easily crushed Cheng Yuan, leading the Gu Family to new heights?’
’Can someone please tell us what in the world is going on?’
Cheng Yuan slowly shook his finger and said nonchalantly, "Old man, if you have osteoporosis, you should take more calcium supplements. Don’t go trying to act tough. See? You paid the price for it, didn’t you?"
’Osteoporosis?’
Gu Tiannan nearly choked. He practiced the Red Snake Leg relentlessly every single day. His bone density far surpassed that of any young man; there was no way he had osteoporosis!
The current situation could only mean one thing: this young man named Cheng Yuan was terrifyingly strong!
Gu Tiannan instantly read the room and decisively capitulated. "Mr. Cheng, you are truly a young hero! Your Eagle Claw Skill is unparalleled in Dongshan! Even Hu Yidao might not be your match! If you intend to compete for the position of Dongshan Martial Arts Alliance Leader, I will wholeheartedly support you!"
’Eagle Claw Skill?’
Cheng Yuan couldn’t be bothered to correct him.
"Cut the crap. Hand over Gu Feiyun and Yang Qiuyu! And you’d better hope I don’t find out that you were involved in their schemes! Otherwise, your Gu Family will cease to exist!"
If Cheng Yuan had said this just a few moments earlier, the members of the Gu Family would have cursed him relentlessly.
’Who does this little bastard think he is? What’s with the act?’
But now, a chill ran down their spines.
’Even the Patriarch was defeated in an instant. If Cheng Yuan wanted to annihilate the Gu Family, it would be as easy as slicing vegetables!’
Gu Tiannan gritted his teeth against the pain and shouted, "Quick! Bring Feiyun here!"
"Yes!"
Several second-generation members of the Gu Family sprinted toward the inner hall and quickly returned with Gu Feiyun.
"Mr. Cheng, Feiyun is here."
Gu Feiyun glared daggers at Cheng Yuan. With a sudden burst of strength from nowhere, he violently broke free from his brothers’ grasp and charged at Cheng Yuan, heedless of his own life!
The Gu Family members were horrified and shouted to stop him.
"Feiyun, no!"
"Feiyun! Mr. Cheng is incredibly strong, even the Patriarch was defeated! You’re no match for him! Don’t be rash!"
...
Unfortunately, Gu Feiyun had already gone mad. He was acting purely on subconscious instinct. The moment he saw Cheng Yuan, his son’s killer, his eyes turned blood-red!
"You bastard, Cheng! You killed Ah Chen! You destroyed my family! You ruined my life! I will kill you today!"
With a flick of his wrist, Cheng Yuan sent a handful of Silver Needles flying.
PFFT! PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!
Gu Feiyun was turned into a human pincushion!
The Silver Needles sealed his acupoints and Meridians. Gu Feiyun’s legs suddenly felt weak, and he pitched forward, collapsing to the ground.
Cheng Yuan took two steps forward, planted his foot on Gu Feiyun’s chest, and looked down at him. "The Wang Family, He Tianci, and the Jinling Yang Family... this was all your doing, wasn’t it? Tell me, who were your accomplices?"
As he spoke, Cheng Yuan’s sinister gaze swept over the Gu Family members.
Terrified, their faces went pale. They quickly lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.
They prayed inwardly, ’Please, don’t let this madman Feiyun spout any nonsense!’
’He’ll get us all killed!’
Gu Feiyun’s mind was already in chaos. He couldn’t comprehend Cheng Yuan’s words. There were only two convictions driving him!
Kill Cheng Yuan! Avenge Gu Chen!
Kill Yang Haotian! Take back his wife!
However, with his Meridians and acupoints sealed, Gu Feiyun couldn’t muster an ounce of strength. Only his head and neck were still responsive.
Gu Feiyun focused all the True Essence he could muster above his neck, opened his mouth, and spat a thick glob of phlegm at Cheng Yuan!
Cheng Yuan quickly sidestepped, narrowly avoiding the projectile.
Enraged, Cheng Yuan activated his Double Pupil and unleashed his Spiritual Power, instantly storming Gu Feiyun’s Sea of Consciousness!
Gu Feiyun’s Sea of Consciousness was already a chaotic mess; it stood no chance against the onslaught of Cheng Yuan’s spiritual storm!
Gu Feiyun’s eyes went vacant as he lost consciousness.
Cheng Yuan employed a form of Witchcraft from the Celestial Witch Inheritance, his voice bewitching. "Gu Feiyun, I am the one you trust the most. Tell me, who else was your accomplice?"
Unfortunately, Gu Feiyun was truly insane. Even under the influence of Witchcraft, his words were incoherent.
"Kill! Kill Cheng Yuan! Kill! Kill Yang Haotian!! No! Don’t leave me!! Let me go! Let me go!!"
