Chapter 74 Slap in the Face! Zhao 2 Gou Gets Slapped in the Face, Spitting Blood and Trying to Escap
Qian Long was so frightened by the eerie and terrifying scene in the secret room that his legs went weak.
But upon hearing Zhao Ergou's words, hope was instantly rekindled, and he immediately bowed and fawned:
"Yes, yes, yes! We're counting on you, Mr. Zhao! As long as you can kill Shen Yu, whatever you want, the Qian family will give you! Mountains of gold and silver, no questions asked!"
He lived in constant fear for the past three days, terrified that Shen Yu would find out that he had accompanied Zhao Ergou to provoke the group and then cause trouble for the Qian family.
Now, as long as Zhao Ergou can kill Shen Yu, he's willing to give up everything he owns!
"Hmph, you're smart to know what's good for you."
Zhao Ergou snorted coldly, turned around again, stared intently at the peach wood sword at the center of the formation, took a deep breath, quickly formed a mystical hand seal with his hands, and chanted an obscure and difficult-to-understand incantation.
"Heaven and earth are boundless, and Yin energy follows them! It locks the soul and erodes the spirit, condemning one to eternal damnation!"
"Imperial Edict!"
As the last word fell, Zhao Ergou suddenly bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood precisely onto the peach wood sword at the center of the formation!
"Sizzle!"
The moment the essence blood fell onto the peach wood sword, the sword instantly emitted a dark, eerie light, and a cold wind swept through the secret chamber, causing the black banners on all sides to flutter wildly.
At the same time, wisps of black energy, accompanied by sharp whistles, continuously poured out from the formation, condensing into countless fine, hair-like Erosion Needles.
Each of the Corrosion Needles is entangled with the Yin energy from the ground.
Even a single stick of this would make an ordinary person seriously ill, let alone thousands upon thousands of sticks—it would be an absolute killer that would strike at a person's very soul!
As Zhao Ergou watched the formation take shape, a mad smile of unwavering determination appeared on his face.
He made another hand seal, locking onto Shen Yu's aura, and suddenly shouted, "Go!"
The dense array of Corrosion Needles instantly pierced through the walls of the secret chamber, transforming into an invisible gust of yin wind that sped toward the Cloud Realm Villa.
Meanwhile, inside the Yunjingtai villa, Shen Yu was leaning back on the sofa, playing with building blocks with his two children.
Niannian held up a pink building block, tiptoed, and placed it on top of the castle while humming a nursery rhyme.
Gui Gui sat to the side, carefully helping her sister hold the base, her little brows furrowed, looking meticulous.
Jiang Xinlan sat next to Shen Yu, flipping through a script in her hand, occasionally glancing up at the three men playing around, her eyes full of gentle smiles.
Just a second before the Corrosive Needle was about to reach the villa, Shen Yu paused slightly while building with blocks, glanced out the window, and a barely perceptible coldness flashed in his eyes.
In his eyes, this petty, underhanded trick was no different from a buzzing mosquito in summer.
He wasn't even allowed to get up.
"What's wrong, Shen Yu?"
Jiang Xinlan noticed his movement, looked up at him, and looked at him with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
"Is the window a little cold because it wasn't closed properly?"
"fine."
Shen Yu withdrew his gaze, lowered his head again, and smiled as he helped Nian Nian straighten the crooked building block. His tone was so gentle that it was as if the coldness from before had never existed.
"A few lowly bugs brought a bit of cold air over, but it's no big deal."
He spoke of it casually.
As they spoke, the densely packed Corrosive Needles, imbued with a bone-corroding aura, rushed out of the living room window and surged towards Shen Yu on the sofa like a tidal wave!
The two children suddenly stopped what they were doing, snuggled closer to Shen Yu, and mumbled softly:
"Dad, it's a little cold..."
"I'm not afraid."
Shen Yu reached out and pulled the two children into his arms, then casually waved his right hand towards the window.
It's like brushing off a speck of dust from your clothes.
A barely perceptible golden spiritual energy spread from his fingertips, like an invisible net, instantly enveloping all the Corrosive Needles.
There was no earth-shattering collision, no deafening roar.
There was only a faint, almost inaudible buzzing sound.
Those Corrosive Needles that Zhao Ergou considered powerful enough to kill any Xuanmen master instantly melted away like ice and snow meeting a raging fire.
Not even a trace of malevolent energy leaked in.
The faint chill in the villa vanished instantly, replaced by warm sunlight streaming through the French windows.
Shen Yu didn't even change his sitting posture. He withdrew his hand and affectionately patted the two children's fluffy heads, as if nothing had just happened.
In the underground secret chamber of the Yunding Mountain villa, the entire formation trembled violently the instant the Erosion Needle was crushed!
The blood talisman on the ground cracked inch by inch, the twelve Yin Soul Mirrors exploded at the same time, and the peach wood sword at the core of the formation snapped in two with a crack!
"puff!!!"
The extreme backlash from the collapse of the formation slammed into Zhao Ergou's internal organs!
He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and like a kite with a broken string, he flew backward, crashing into the stone wall behind him before falling heavily to the ground.
His meridians were broken inch by inch, and his dantian was directly shattered by the backlash. The internal energy he had cultivated for more than ten years was completely dissipated at this moment!
"Ah! My dantian! My cultivation level!!"
Zhao Ergou lay on the ground, howling wildly, his voice filled with despair and extreme pain.
He just couldn't understand it!
His trump card, a secret killing formation passed down from his master, was broken so silently!
There wasn't even the slightest sound!
He didn't even know how Shen Yu made his move before the formation collapsed, and he was also hit by a backlash that destroyed his cultivation and shattered his dantian!
Who exactly is this Shen Yu?!
The two apprentices beside him were terrified and rushed over to help Zhao Ergou up. Seeing him covered in blood and on the verge of death, their hands trembled.
Qian Long collapsed to the ground, his face pale and his body trembling like a leaf.
It’s over.
It's all over.
Even Mr. Zhao's most treasured forbidden technique was easily broken by Shen Yu, and he was even backfired, losing all his cultivation.
Just who exactly is Shen Yu?!
He had previously gone with Zhao Ergou to provoke Shen Yu. If Shen Yu were to come after him, wouldn't the Qian family be doomed?!
"Go...go quickly..."
Zhao Ergou was helped up by his apprentice, blood gushing from his mouth, his eyes glazed over, only a sliver of reason remaining. He gripped his apprentice's arm, his voice trembling uncontrollably.
"Immediately...immediately send me back to the capital...to find my master...hurry! If we don't leave...we'll all die here!"
He only had one thought in his mind right now.
escape!
Flee Jiangcheng immediately!
He's no match for Shen Yu! If he stays here any longer, he'll lose his life!
"Yes, yes, yes! We'll leave now! Right now!"
The two apprentices were terrified and quickly helped the barely alive Zhao Ergou up, rushing him out of the secret room.
Qian Long scrambled to catch up, muttering incoherently:
"Quick! Get the car ready! No! Get the private jet ready! To the airport immediately! Hurry!!"
