Chapter 1638: Chapter 1627: Heaven Helps Me
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Inside the hall on the first floor of the Ziyun Auction House.
Dull sounds resonated endlessly.
Shui Hongfu knew a battle today was unavoidable, and he launched an attack on Jiang Tongde without hesitating.
Both were at the Peak of the Third Heaven of the Reincarnation Realm.
Two equally matched forces constantly clashing, the air around them continuously distorted.
It’s fair to say that Shui Hongfu and Jiang Tongde were going all out.
Originally, several Creation Realm experts were stationed at the Ziyun Auction House, all from the direct lineage of the Shuis.
However.
Despite the commotion in the hall, not a single person came to check on it? It’s likely those Creation Realm experts from the direct lineage also met unfortunate fates.
The Great Elder of the Shuis, Jiang Tongde, fending off Shui Hongfu’s attacks while shouting at the Ghost-faced Monk, said: "How long are you going to watch?"
The Ghost-faced Monk focused his gaze on Shui Ziyan and Shui Menghan and casually said to Jiang Tongde, "There’s no need to rush, Master Jiang. With your strength, you certainly won’t lose to Shui Hongfu; at most, you’re evenly matched. Tonight’s drama has just started! This poor monk doesn’t want it to end so soon."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tongde’s heart filled with anger, but for now, he needed to rely on the Ghost-faced Monk’s power. He could only swallow his anger and concentrate on fighting Shui Hongfu.
While battling Jiang Tongde, Shui Hongfu’s figure flashed to the second floor. He knew, tonight, Jiang Tongde and the Ghost-faced Monk were working together, and his chances for survival were slim.
Even if Ye Chenfeng had already been crippled, Shui Hongfu didn’t want Ye Chenfeng to live in despair every day in the future, unable even to commit suicide. Helping Ye Chenfeng find relief himself seemed like the only option now.
After all, if the Ghost-faced Monk and Jiang Tongde joined forces, Shui Hongfu would indeed be unable to resist.
The surrounding floors and walls kept exploding.
Jiang Tongde pressed hard against Shui Hongfu, sneering, "Family Head, even now you care about that boy’s safety? My son surely has him under his foot already."
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Shui Hongfu and Jiang Tongde unleashed a variety of combat skills, and the stairs leading to the second floor instantly collapsed.
The figures of Shui Hongfu and Jiang Tongde ascended into the air, appearing instantly on the corridor of the second floor.
Jiang Tongde could not allow Shui Hongfu to reach the VIP room with Ye Chenfeng first. If Shui Hongfu harmed his son, it would be quite troublesome.
Jiang Tongde was closer to the VIP room where Ye Chenfeng was, flashing to the doorway first.
The door to the VIP room was open, and one could clearly see the scene inside from outside.
Standing outside the VIP room, Jiang Tongde seemed struck by lightning upon seeing the scenario inside, standing still as if frozen.
And Shui Hongfu immediately appeared at the doorway, also falling into shock upon seeing the scene within, his old face filled with incredulous expressions.
The two remained stunned.
As for the hall on the first floor.
Shui Ziyan and Shui Menghan watched the second floor anxiously, while Shui Yifan was vigilantly eyeing the Ghost-faced Monk.
With a grotesque appearance, the Ghost-faced Monk laughed, saying, "The boy on the second floor is the one who exposed my identity, yes? He’s probably a cripple now. The way you two girls worry, you must have quite a relationship with him, no?"
"That’s perfect, you can go and see the boy’s miserable state now, I won’t stop you."
The Ghost-faced Monk had set his sights on Shui Ziyan and Shui Menghan, planning to use these two women to cultivate his demonic skills. Naturally, he hadn’t forgotten Ye Chenfeng, who had exposed him; he intended to use Shui Ziyan and Shui Menghan to cultivate in front of Ye Chenfeng as a form of fiery revenge.
It seemed the Ghost-faced Monk was deeply twisted.
Shui Yifan looked from afar at Jiang Tongde and his father standing at the VIP room door on the second floor. He glanced at the Ghost-faced Monk, who indeed didn’t seem inclined to make a move.
Shui Yifan grasped Shui Ziyan and Shui Menghan and soared into the air, reaching the door of the VIP room on the second floor within breaths.
Being taken to the second floor by their father, Shui Ziyan and Shui Menghan dared not look at the scene inside the VIP room, fearing they would see Ye Chenfeng crippled, trampled under Jiang Tongde’s son’s foot.
When Shui Yifan arrived at the VIP room door, sensing the oddness with Jiang Tongde and his father, he too became dazed upon seeing the scene inside.
Shui Ziyan and Shui Menghan gathered the courage to look into the VIP room, and they did not see Ye Chenfeng crippled, nor did they see him trampled underfoot.
The sisters’ eyes suddenly gleamed with an unusual sparkle, their moist lips slightly parted, their chests heaving, and a smile blossomed at the corners of their mouths.
Inside the VIP room.
Ye Chenfeng, holding the Meteoric Flame Sword, stood unharmed, still wearing a carefree expression on his face.
The two Creation Realm experts of the Great Elder’s lineage had several blood holes on their necks, with blood gushing out, evidently dead beyond doubt.
As for Jiang Xingcheng, son of Great Elder Jiang Tongde, his head rolled quietly on the floor, eyes wide open, clearly dead with unfinished business.
"I should also meet the kid who exposed my identity. Has he been completely crippled now? I imagine he must be in a lot of pain!" The ghost-faced monk appeared on the second floor as well, his voice drifting into everyone’s ears, pulling them out of their shock.
Shui Hongfu and Shui Yifan quickly pulled the still dazed Shui Ziyan and Shui Menghan beside Ye Chenfeng.
Meanwhile, Great Elder Jiang Tongde shook his head repeatedly, muttering to himself, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. How can a mere Creation Realm Middle Stage kid kill two Creation Realm Peak experts? And kill my son as well? My son had already set one foot into the Reincarnation Realm."
Seeing the scene in the VIP room, the ghost-faced monk lost his extremely disgusting smile, and his gaze towards Ye Chenfeng carried some coldness. He uttered after a slight pause, "You are the kid who exposed this monk’s identity? Interesting, you indeed have some peculiarity, killing these three must’ve been assisted by external force."
"However, in the face of a massive power gap, even with external help, can you fight against someone with Reincarnation Realm power?"
Since it wasn’t the ghost-faced monk’s son who died, he remained indifferent to Jiang Xingcheng and the others’ deaths.
After Jiang Tongde fully recovered from his shock, he went utterly mad, his two grandsons were killed by Ye Chenfeng, and now his son was killed too. His heart was consumed with extreme rage, his eyes bulging as if they would leap out of their sockets.
Shui Hongfu and the others had no time to ponder how Ye Chenfeng could kill Jiang Xingcheng and others. They focused their wary eyes on the ghost-faced monk and Jiang Tongde.
Just as Jiang Tongde’s inner fury was gathering, gathering, and gathering again.
Jiang Tongde felt a sudden weakness in his body; he could not circulate the Spiritual Qi River in his meridians.
When Jiang Tongde sensed this change, the weaker Shui Ziyan and Shui Menghan had already collapsed to the floor, even Shui Yifan fell after swaying twice, unable to muster any spiritual energy within.
After Shui Yifan collapsed, Jiang Tongde and Shui Hongfu followed suit, leaving only Ye Chenfeng and the ghost-faced monk standing.
The ghost-faced monk nodded in satisfaction and said, "This monk always likes to keep everything under control, when I was downstairs earlier, I released Drunken Soul Powder into the air, having taken the antidote beforehand."
"This Drunken Soul Powder, colorless and tasteless, is an extremely rare poison. It can render even a Reincarnation Realm Peak expert defenseless. I spent quite a while obtaining it originally."
"Now, I’ve used all my Drunken Soul Powder on you, you should feel honored."
Since the ghost-faced monk dispersed the Drunken Soul Powder in the first-floor hall, Ye Chenfeng on the second floor naturally remained unaffected. Moreover, even if he inhaled the Drunken Soul Powder, Ye Chenfeng likely wouldn’t suffer as his Divine Blood makes him immune to all poisons.
Also collapsed on the ground, Jiang Tongde couldn’t exert power within, angrily glaring at the ghost-faced monk, questioning, "What do you mean by this?"
The ghost-faced monk replied sinisterly, "This monk now offers you two choices: become my servant, or die with the Shuis’ direct lineage."
Jiang Tongde felt extremely gloomy, after contemplating for a moment, he said in a low voice, "I choose the first, I choose to be your servant."
Jiang Tongde truly did not want to die; he still wished to personally avenge his son and grandsons.
The ghost-faced monk immediately produced a black pill, flicking it into Jiang Tongde’s mouth, and after seeing Jiang Tongde swallow it, he threw a packet of white powder into Jiang Tongde’s mouth.
This white powder was the antidote to Drunken Soul Powder, and upon swallowing it, Jiang Tongde gradually regained his strength.
Looking at Jiang Tongde standing up from the ground, the ghost-faced monk said, "I hope you faithfully serve as my servant, or else you will die more miserably than anyone. The black pill I gave you is not an ordinary poison; you must take the antidote I provide monthly."
Just then.
A white silhouette appeared at the entrance of the VIP room.
"Brother Ye, you’re here!"
The white silhouette was Bai Xiaorou, who hadn’t found Ye Chenfeng upon returning to the Shuis.
Thus, Bai Xiaorou followed the Thousand-Year Ice Snow Lotus sensing from her brow to locate him.
Before anyone else could react, Bai Xiaorou had already appeared beside Ye Chenfeng, endearingly looping her arm around his.
Upon sensing Bai Xiaorou’s strength, the ghost-faced monk suddenly burst into laughter, "Truly heaven’s blessing for me, truly heaven’s blessing! If I can use this woman to cultivate demonic arts, my power will surely soar swiftly."
The ghost-faced monk’s gaze locked entirely on Bai Xiaorou.
