"Mother... mother, even you have started to deceive ?"
Ling Wan’s voice trembled as he spoke, his face turning extrely pale. His mother was his last support and longing within the family. If even his own mother chose to deceive him, then there was truly nothing left in the Zhao Family for him to cling to.
"You little bastard, this has nothing to do with your mother. It’s all your father’s idea. If it weren’t for this, could you even return to this ho?"
Before Ling Wan’s mother could speak, Zhao Huan, the Family Head of the Zhao Family, had already cursed out loud. Although his shout was filled with anger, it was a great relief to Ling Wan.
It seems that this matter was not his mother’s idea, but a sche crafted by his cruel father. Now that Zhao Ningshu was already here, Ling Wan’s actions at the Jade Pot Sect were unlikely to have gone unnoticed by Zhao Huan.
Therefore, at this mont, Ling Wan did not feel the slightest worry about his situation. Instead, knowing that his mother had not deceived him, he felt a asure of relief. His last bit of faith in the Zhao Family had not collapsed after all.
Upon seeing the shift in Ling Wan’s expression, his mother felt a deep heartache and finally spoke, "Ling Wan, your mother has wronged you, having raised you to this state. If you want to hate, then hate !"
"No, mother, I don’t hate you. In the entire Zhao Family, the only one I don’t hate is you!" Ling Wan didn’t hesitate to reply, and this statent further enraged the father and son nearby.
"Zhao Ling Wan, you are unfilial and unrighteous, brutally murdering your own elder brother. What should your cri be!" Zhao Ningshu standing to the side yelled harshly. This manner of speaking might lead an outsider to truly believe that Ling Wan was an unforgivable villain who had slaughtered his own brother.
"Heh, my own elder brother? Have you ever seen an elder brother who wants to put his own younger brother to death?" Ling Wan turned his head back, his tone laden with resentnt.
To be honest, if it weren’t for Zhao Ningshu and his brother Zhao Xingwu constantly troubling Ling Wan, even seeking his life, how could the normally gentle-natured Ling Wan have been driven to kill?
Moreover, Zhao Xingwu’s death was an unintentional mistake, a result of the recoil he suffered after striking Ling Wan’s Mixed Elent One Qi Body. This unfortunate misunderstanding was truly not Ling Wan’s fault.
Yet this great accusation had already been placed upon Ling Wan. Hearing his cold laughter, Zhao Huan, the Family Head of the Zhao Family, suddenly stood up and cursed, "You little bastard, how did I, Zhao Huan, father such a ruthless son, even killing your own elder brother!"
"Father, since you’re willing to acknowledge as your son, then ask yourself this: Have you ever treated as your son for just one day? Over these years, how has the Zhao Family treated ? Even a re gatekeeping guard dares to mock and disdain the third young master of the Zhao Family. Is this the son of the Zhao Family Head?"
Ling Wan poured all his bitterness and grievances into these words, deeply moving his mother, who, due to her weak cultivation, had no say within the Zhao Family and was unable to help him in any way.
"Hmph, unseen for half a year, you’ve learned nothing else but have certainly beco sharp-tongued. No matter what you say, the cri of murdering your elder brother is unforgivable!"
Faced with Ling Wan’s words, Zhao Huan found himself unable to retort but also felt an extre distaste when he thought of Ling Wan’s transford state into a large blob.
Now that Ling Wan had been lured back to the Zhao Family, Zhao Huan had already decided that he could not allow Ling Wan to leave even half a step from the Zhao Family. So as his words fell, he stretched out his hand to strike Ling Wan’s chest.
The Family Head Zhao Huan was a powerful cultivator who had reached the Early Stage of ridian Union, making the Zhao Family far more formidable than the Shang Family from Moon Bow City, once associated with Yun Xiao.
Therefore, even though Ling Wan had broken through to the Early Stage of ridian Rushing Realm, he was nowhere near a match for Zhao Huan. However, Ling Wan was not one to just wait for death. In this critical mont, he suddenly activated his Mixed Elent One Qi Body.
"Qi Transformation Spirit Technique, Transform!"
A deep shout emanated from Ling Wan’s heart, and the interdiate Spiritual Rank cultivation technique he had acquired from the Jade Martial Institute began to operate. His body instantly shifted into the shape of a giant rubber ball.
"Freak, disgraceful!"
Witnessing this scene, Zhao Huan’s heart filled with even more disgust, his hand showing no rcy. But he obviously underestimated Ling Wan’s strength after transformation, and his determined palm strike inevitably went awry.
Whoosh...
Zhao Huan’s strike at the Early Stage of ridian Union Realm was ruthless. If a common cultivator at the Early Stage of ridian Rushing Realm were to endure it, they would certainly suffer broken bones and die.
But when Zhao Huan’s palm struck Ling Wan, the latter’s body had already been rapidly propelled backward by the force, directly toward Zhao Ningshu, who was standing behind with a face full of schadenfreude.
Zhao Ningshu could never have anticipated that, even after his father at the Early Stage of ridian Union Realm had personally taken action, he would suffer this misfortune. The next mont, he t his tragedy.
The speed of the Ling Wan was astonishing, or perhaps the force behind Zhao Huan’s palm strike was just too imnse. In any case, the eldest of the Zhao Family, who was rely at the late stage of the ridian Gathering Realm, had no ti to even think about dodging before he was struck by Ling Wan’s massive spherical body.
Bang!
A loud crash ensued and Zhao Ningshu’s body flew from the doorway like riding the clouds and the mist, landing in the outer courtyard. It was unclear whether he was dead or alive.
In the room, although Zhao Ningshu had been blasted out, this unintentional obstruction caused Ling Wan’s body to bounce back, hurtling toward the Family Head of the Zhao Family, Zhao Huan.
This turn of events left not just Ling Wan’s mother dumbfounded, but even the Family Head Zhao Huan hadn’t expected it, clueless as to why Ling Wan had suddenly beco so formidable.
In the past, Ling Wan would occasionally transform into a atball, but at that ti, the atball had no offensive power at all, causing Ling Wan more pain than anything else. This was also an important reason he was treated as useless by the Zhao Family.
However, at this mont, under the powerful blow of Zhao Huan, an early-stage cultivator of the ridian Union Realm, Ling Wan transford into a atball and directly blasted Zhao Ningshu out of the room, leaving Zhao Huan at a loss for an explanation.
But at this ti, Zhao Huan didn’t have the luxury of pondering these doubts, as Ling Wan’s rebounding body was already shooting back at him fiercely, the sound of tearing through the air was sowhat piercing.
The Family Head of the Zhao Family was, after all, a cultivator at the early stage of ridian Union Realm. Despite the ferocity of Ling Wan’s rebound, it ultimately couldn’t hurt Zhao Huan. Seeing an aura of energy erge from his hands, he once again harshly slapped at a certain part of Ling Wan’s body.
Ling Wan, being an entire Great Rank lower than Zhao Huan, finally couldn’t hold up under these two consecutive heavy strikes of great force.
Pfft!
As Ling Wan’s body hit a thick wall within the room, it deflated like a punctured ball, reverting to his original form, but his face was exceedingly pale.
"Father... Father, kill that little... little bastard, pfft..."
Just as Ling Wan was forced back into his original form, his body in complete turmoil, a sowhat wheezy voice ca from the doorway. It could be none other than Zhao Ningshu. But as soon as the forced words left his mouth, he couldn’t help but violently cough up blood, evidently suffering from extrely serious internal injuries.
It can be said that Zhao Ningshu was truly the victim of an undeserved calamity. Even Zhao Huan, a practitioner at the early stage of ridian Union Realm, couldn’t deal with Ling Wan in one move. Instead, he was unexpectedly left severely wounded by a rebound when caught off guard.
If it wasn’t for his recent period of cultivation at the Jade Pot Sect, and having switched to a more formidable cultivation technique, Zhao Ningshu might have followed in the footsteps of his deceased second brother, directly killed by the rebound.
Having taken such a heavy blow, how could Zhao Ningshu swallow this indignity? Thus, he barely moved his body to the doorway, his mouth uttering such venomous words, hoping his father would ruthlessly kill Ling Wan.
"Hmph, my dear eldest brother, if father weren’t here, would you be a match for in one round?"
As he listened to Zhao Ningshu’s venomous words, Ling Wan’s internal chaos was unmanageable. At this point, he couldn’t care less and imdiately retorted sarcastically.
Indeed, as Ling Wan said, he was now at the early stage of ridian Rushing Realm, and with the special constitution of the Mixed Elent Qi Body, dealing with Zhao Ningshu, who was at the late stage of ridian Gathering Realm, wouldn’t that be extrely easy?
"So what if I’m not your match? Aren’t you... aren’t you still going to die today? Cough, cough..."
Zhao Ningshu, short of breath, did not know if it was the severe internal injury or being angered by Ling Wan’s words, but the next mont, he saw his father slowly walking towards Ling Wan, comforting his heart greatly.
What Zhao Ningshu didn’t see, however, was that at this mont, the Family Head Zhao Huan’s eyes were filled with astonishnt. He indeed had intended to kill Ling Wan just before, to completely eradicate this small scoundrel who brought sha to the family and cruelly murdered his own brother.
But Zhao Huan had never expected that his early stage ridian Union Realm cultivation would not claim Ling Wan’s life after two palm strikes. Right now, he had sensed Ling Wan’s true cultivation level.
"ridian Rushing Realm Early Stage?"
rely with this sensing, Zhao Huan’s heart was thrown into tumult again. He rembered clearly that when Ling Wan left half a year ago to attend the outer sect exam of the Jade Pot Sect, he was only at the middle stage of ridian Introduction Realm.
Who would have thought that in just half a year, Ling Wan would have reached the early stage of ridian Rushing Realm, skipping over two entire Great Ranks. How on earth did this young man do it?
"Could it be that the cultivation resources of the Jade Pot Sect are truly so powerful?"
While Zhao Huan approached Ling Wan, this thought flashed through his mind. But as he sensed Zhao Ningshu not far from the door, he quickly dismissed the thought; after all, Zhao Ningshu had also joined the Jade Pot Sect.
