My Years in the Jianghu with the Prince: A Time of Unethical Conduct

Chapter 123 Wang 81 Family

"But what about your internal energy cultivation technique?"

When Dongfang Yuan was young, his face could be described as having sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, with distinct features; he was quite a handsome young man.

Unfortunately, a lingering sinister and ruthless aura shrouded his brows, ruining the overall aesthetic appeal.

He stroked his chin and clicked his tongue softly. "I don't remember my poison having this effect."

He seemed to be answering his own question, without needing any reply from Dongfang Shuo, and continued, "Could it be that little brat surnamed Xie again?"

"However, this did make things convenient for me, so I guess it's a good deed he did for me before he died."

Dongfang Shuo forced himself to stand up straight, his gaze fixed on Dongfang Yuan, and asked, "Dongfang Yuan! What exactly do you want?!"

"What do you want to do?"

Dongfang Yuan grinned, revealing a chilling smile.

"Naturally, I've come to take your life."

Then, he changed the subject, "However, before I take your life, I want you to see with your own eyes how your daughter dies at my hands."

Dongfang Yuan's malicious gaze swept over Dongfang Shuo's entire body, finally lingering in mid-air as he looked at Dongfang Su, who had been choked unconscious.

Dongfang Shuo's pupils contracted sharply. He followed Dongfang Yuan's gaze to his daughter, and his eyes immediately turned bloodshot.

He gritted his teeth and said, "If you hate me, come at me! Why did you have to target my family?!"

After saying that, he lunged at Dongfang Yuan, but was kicked away and then stepped on his chest as he fell to the ground.

Dongfang Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, stepping on Dongfang Shuo's chest and grinding it forcefully. "You wish."

"You stole what was rightfully mine and subjected me to endless ridicule. How can I let you die so easily?"

“I will make you watch helplessly as your beloved family members are killed one by one, and watch your only daughter die right before your eyes.”

"Only then can you truly understand my pain."

Under this forceful crushing, Dongfang Shuo couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

He couldn't speak, and could only tremble as he stretched out his hands and grabbed the foot that was stepping on him, as if that would stop Dongfang Yuan from harming his daughter.

However, he forgot that at this moment, Dongfang Su's life was in the hands of another person.

At Dongfang Yuan's signal, the man dragged the unconscious Dongfang Su in front of the two of them.

Under Dongfang Shuo's horrified gaze, Dongfang Yuan slowly pulled a dagger from his pocket.

The gleaming dagger slowly moved from Dongfang Su's face to her neck. With just a little more force, it would pierce through that slender neck.

But he didn't act immediately. Instead, he looked at Dongfang Shuo with amusement, appreciating for a moment his face, which had turned pale with fear.

"no, do not want!"

Then, amidst Dongfang Shuo's hoarse roar, he slid the dagger up again, seemingly not intending to kill Dongfang Su immediately.

As if to torture her, the knife tip kept sliding across her delicate face.

Then, unexpectedly, with a slight exertion, he made a cut on the side of Dongfang Su's cheek—

The skin was torn open and the flesh was ripped open.

The skin on the side of his face was torn in two, but there was no blood. Instead, the skin underneath was exposed.

The three who witnessed everything: "..."

Just as Dongfang Su, who should have fainted, curled her lips into a smile, the person holding her reacted in the blink of an eye and suddenly tightened their grip.

A crisp "click" sound rang out.

However, it wasn't Dongfang Su's neck that was broken, but rather the arm of the person choking her that was strangely bent into several pieces.

Dongfang Shuo stared at all in disbelief, forgetting even to breathe.

Meanwhile, in the collapsed building by the river—

The rubble, which had been firmly buried, was suddenly ripped open by a tremendous force!

Thick layers of soil were hurled into the air, several collapsed roof beams flew everywhere, and amidst the billowing dust, a figure carrying a long spear charged out.

When Chu Ling rushed out, he was covered in dust and wood chips, but there were no other injuries on his body.

After coming out, Chu Ling calmly dusted himself off, then turned around and reached in to pull the person out.

"Bah bah bah!"

He Shan, his head covered in sawdust, was pulled out by Chu Ling, who grabbed him by the back of his collar.

"I was terrified! Luckily, the prince broke a few wooden pillars to prop it up when it collapsed, otherwise we would have been crushed into mincemeat even if we weren't buried alive."

As he was pulled out, the others followed suit, emerging one by one from the hole opened by Chu Ling.

As He Shan lay exhausted on the ground, he caught a glimpse of Xie Yan, who was carrying a bucket of turtles, emerging from the ground.

Then he immediately jumped up, his face full of anger, "When there was danger just now, you actually kicked me aside to protect this bucket?!"

The turtles poked their heads out of the bucket to look at He Shan, and Xie Yan said calmly, "I think turtles are more useful than you."

Heshan: "..."

He took a deep breath, rolled up his sleeves, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Xuanfeng, tear off your face. Today it's either you or me who lives."

Watching the two who had just escaped death immediately turn on each other, Yu Bai and Tao Xian sighed, "Brother Xuanfeng is indeed worthy of having worked with Young Master Xie for so long; he's really learned it perfectly."

Peach Fairy: ...Isn't this a pitiful aspect as well?

Chu Ling ignored the noise behind him, instead standing by the river with his spear in hand, squinting as he surveyed the surface of the river.

Only faintly visible figures could be seen intertwined together within the mist.

Every now and then, the sounds of flashing swords and clanging fists could be heard.

But their speed and the strangeness of their moves were so dazzling that it was impossible to tell who was who.

"You guys stay here and help out."

With that, he flashed forward and stepped onto the still-collapsed arena without hesitation, disappearing into the smoke.

On the dueling platform—

Despite the pain, the middle-aged man, who had lost an arm, drew his sword from his waist and stabbed the person in front of him without hesitation!

But the next second, the person suddenly disappeared before his eyes like a ghost, followed by a sharp pain in his waist, and he was sent flying backward uncontrollably.

Dongfang Yuan withdrew his foot from Dongfang Shuo, coldly observing the scene before him, and said in a gloomy tone, "Thank you, Yan."

Xie Yan patted the hem of her clothes and looked back at him with a smile, "Until the very last moment, I really can't force you out of your cowardly old man."

He then tilted his head, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Oh no, you look younger than me now, I can't call you an old man anymore."

"You bastard."
