817: Chapter 827: Whispering in the Ear!
That figure—why does it look so much like Tang Zhong?
Li Chuwen thought she was mistaken.
Hadn’t Tang Zhong already left earlier?
At this mont, from afar, Tang Zhong slowly walked forward.
His expression was exceptionally grim.
From a great distance, he had already seen smoke rising from this direction.
He hadn’t expected that upon arrival, he would find Li Chuwen collapsed on the ground.
Just as he feared, sothing had happened to her.
At this ti, Miao Jingtian and the others also noticed Tang Zhong approaching, their pupils imdiately lighting up.
“It’s you!”
Miao Qing sneered as he saw him.
At the sa ti, the Village Heads of the Seventy-Two Villages, who had overheard Miao Jingtian’s words, turned to look at Tang Zhong as well.
“Brother Miao, that guy wouldn’t happen to be the one who caused trouble in your Miao Village, would he?”
“He certainly looks young enough, and he’s actually a Martial Arts Grandmaster!”
Earlier, when the Village Heads of the Seventy-Two Villages had arrived, Miao Jingtian had already explained Tang Zhong’s situation—a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
“That’s him!” Miao Jingtian said.
“But so what if he’s a Martial Arts Grandmaster?
Coming to our Southern Border to stir up trouble like this!”
“Exactly!
In our Southern Border, he must not leave alive!”
At that mont, Tang Zhong walked up to Li Chuwen.
He reached out to touch her forehead, his face extraordinarily dark.
“What happened?”
Li Chuwen hadn’t expected it was really Tang Zhong: “You…
Why did you co back?
Didn’t you leave already?
Hurry and go!
Don’t stay here any longer.
They won’t let you go!”
“It’s fine,” Tang Zhong replied calmly.
He then grabbed Li Chuwen’s wrist, sensing her pulse racing rapidly.
“Don’t bother checking.
I’ve been cursed with a Gu—specifically, the Heart Piercing Gu!” Li Chuwen said coldly, her tone filled with an icy despair.
For once the Heart Piercing Gu enters a human body, the victim is dood to die—everyone in the Southern Border knows this.
“I see.” Tang Zhong nodded.
At this point, Miao Jingtian looked at Tang Zhong and burst out laughing.
“I never imagined you’d actually co back!”
“Boy, did you co back here to court your own death?” Miao Qing added with a mocking smile.
But Tang Zhong, unhurried and composed, looked at Miao Jingtian and Miao Qing.
“I recall you once promised not to trouble Li Chuwen again.”
“Haha, fool!
Did you really think you’re in any position to demand anything from us?
A single word from you, and we’d stop?
Ridiculous!” Miao Qing smirked and spat, laughing scornfully.
“Last ti, we lost to you because we underestimated you.
This ti, we won’t make that mistake!”
“No…
This ti, all of you will die!” Tang Zhong declared coldly.
His words silenced the entire area.
The people around trembled upon hearing them.
Though he hadn’t made a move yet, his re presence struck terror in their hearts.
“You think you can do it?” Miao Jingtian, though fearful, forced himself to remain composed.
So of the other Village Heads from the Seventy-Two Villages, indignant, imdiately jeered: “Boy, you’re that city youth, aren’t you?
You must be delusional to think you can take on the entire Southern Border on your own!”
“And what exactly are *you* supposed to be?” Tang Zhong raised an eyebrow.
He was starting to get angry.
Previously, he had given Miao Jingtian an opportunity, but Miao Jingtian hadn’t cherished it.
Instead, he’d doubled down, leaving Li Chuwen in such a state.
Opportunities only co once—squander it, and there won’t be a second chance.
Miao Jingtian had never fathod this man could be so domineering.
“And what makes you think *you* can act recklessly in my Southern Border just because you’re a Martial Arts Grandmaster?”
Next, Miao Jingtian smirked coldly.
“It seems you have quite the fondness for that wretched woman Li Chuwen.
But unfortunately for you, she’s about to die.
I’ve already cursed her with the Heart Piercing Gu.
Soon, the Gu worm will burrow through her heart, and when it does, she’ll die a truly agonizing death.
Hahaha!”
With that, Miao Jingtian burst into laughter.
“Is that so?” Tang Zhong turned to Li Chuwen.
Li Chuwen nodded, affirming: “Yes, it’s the Heart Piercing Gu.
Once this kind of Gu worm enters the body, the person is dood.”
“No, you won’t die!
Give your hand!” Tang Zhong said.
“Huh?” Li Chuwen froze for a mont, then, enduring the excruciating pain, extended her hand to him.
Tang Zhong took her hand, and at the sa ti, Blood Power began to gather.
He pressed his palm against hers.
Imdiately, Li Chuwen felt a warm sensation radiating from the center of her palm.
“I’ll force the Gu worm out for you!”
While the Gu worm resided inside the human body, it was transmitted through the bloodstream.
“It’s useless!” Li Chuwen said.
“Focus!” Tang Zhong commanded.
The surrounding crowd watched Tang Zhong’s actions and burst into mocking laughter.
“He’s dreaming if he thinks he can force the Gu worm out with Blood Power alone!”
“The Heart Piercing Gu worm resides in the bloodstream, but it takes imnse Blood Power to expel it—only soone at the Martial Arts Peak could do such a thing.
A Martial Arts Grandmaster talking about this?
Utterly naive!”
Miao Jingtian chuckled coldly.
“Boy, I can’t wait to see the look of despair on your face.”
At this mont, Tang Zhong’s Blood Power surged through Li Chuwen’s body.
For Tang Zhong, forcing out a Gu worm was re child’s play.
He quickly located the Gu worm coursing through Li Chuwen’s bloodstream.
With brute force, he began to drive it out, inch by inch, until it reached her brow.
Wherever it entered, it would exit.
He compelled the worm out, forcing it to break through her skin.
At last, Tang Zhong snatched the Gu worm into his hand and crushed it with overwhelming force, turning it into pulp.
The crowd, who had been laughing seconds ago, froze in shock as they witnessed this scene.
Their expressions instantly turned sour.
“How is this possible?”
“That was the Heart Piercing Gu!”
One by one, they stood dumbfounded.
Everyone knew that the Heart Piercing Gu had no cure.
“Father, didn’t you say only soone at the Martial Arts Peak could expel the Gu worm?
How did he do it?” Miao Qing asked in disbelief.
“I don’t know…” Miao Jingtian was equally shocked, his face darkening.
“Could this guy be at the Martial Arts Peak?”
The Heart Piercing Gu was known to require the power of a Martial Arts Peak to dispel—it was common knowledge.
Staring at Tang Zhong, everyone’s faces turned grim.
A Martial Arts Grandmaster this young was already astonishing.
Now, realizing he might be at the Martial Arts Peak, they were utterly shaken.
At this mont, the Gu worm that had plagued Li Chuwen was gone, and she suddenly felt a sense of relief, as if a massive weight had lifted from her shoulders.
She, too, was astounded by Tang Zhong’s strength.
“Rest for a bit,” Tang Zhong said.
“Alright,” Li Chuwen nodded.
Tang Zhong then rose to his feet, facing the Village Heads of the Seventy-Two Villages.
A glacial smile ford on his face.
“I told you before: I’ll protect Li Chuwen.
Did you think I was joking?”
He roared, radiating the aura of a God of Slaughter.
Those who heard him couldn’t help but tremble in fear.
