You Drove Me Out with Your Hypocrisy and now Crying When I Come to Take It All? Chapter 155 : Chapter 155

Chapter 155: Tearing Out the Cheng Family Bloodline—What the Hell Does the Cheng Family Count For?!

The Cheng Family.

A thousand-year clan, a power that had stood within Great Qian’s martial world for a thousand years.

Several decades earlier, through Cheng Zhenjiang’s apprenticeship and various ties of interest, it had beco completely bound to the River-Severing Sect, one of the Nine Great Sects.

Its strength had swelled once again to a terrifying level.

It held vast stretches of the north in its grasp, resisting the Great Qian court’s control, and was the true ruler there.

As the Cheng Family’s strongest and most senior figure, Cheng Cangshan naturally held himself in extrely high regard.

At the end of the day, Cheng Yu was only a junior descendant. He had beco a disgraceful Imperial Hound, despised by others, yet he had repeatedly dared to ignore his goodwill.

He truly had no idea what was good for him!

Now that Cheng Yu had finally bared his fangs, Cheng Cangshan’s face turned as cold as frost as well.

“I will say it one last ti too! I have no connection whatsoever to the Cheng Family!”

“You!”

The mont he heard Cheng Yu’s utterly resolute answer, with not the slightest room left for reversal, Cheng Cangshan was instantly enraged beyond asure.

All the compromise and gentleness he had shown just now had been wasted effort!

Although Cheng Zhenjiang had handled matters abominably badly, there was one thing he had said correctly.

After so many years outside, Cheng Yu was not like an ordinary descendant of the Cheng Family.

His temperant was wildly unruly. He was a vicious man who held neither elders nor hierarchy in any regard!

Fine words could not move him at all.

Since good words were useless, Cheng Cangshan’s face turned rather grim as he said coldly,

“You think that saying it is not so makes it not so? As long as your surna is Cheng, and as long as Cheng Family blood still runs through your veins, you will never escape that identity!”

“Without the Cheng Family bloodline, you would never have reached where you are today! You cannot deny that the Cheng Family gave you everything! Without the Cheng Family, you are nothing!”

“If you do not want others pointing fingers at you, leaving you rootless and alone in this world, then obediently return to the Cheng Family!”

Clan and bloodline.

To the people of Great Qian, those things were of the utmost importance.

Without clan and bloodline, there was no source of identity or belonging, no foundation upon which to stand in this world, and no resources or support to rely upon.

Without that bloodline, Cheng Yu would never have possessed his present strength!

For Cheng Yu to claim that he had no connection to the Cheng Family was simply laughable.

Without the Cheng Family, Cheng Yu was nothing!

He could not deny his own bloodline!

Just like the Cheng Yuan inheritance Cheng Zhenjiang had reported monts ago, Cheng Yu had only been able to wield it because of the Cheng Family bloodline.

Those words of Cheng Cangshan’s carried imnse weight for the people of Great Qian. They touched directly upon a person’s very sense of self.

Chang Ningxiao, Jian A, and the others all frowned as they looked toward Cheng Yu. This was not sothing he could answer carelessly!

What they did not know was that, to Cheng Yu, none of this had much force.

Two sets of mories had fused within him. One belonged to a man from another world, while the other belonged to the Jinyiwei Banner Captain who had grown up in a tiny blacksmith’s shop.

Neither had anything to do with the Cheng Family!

He revealed a disdainful smile.

“What would it matter to if I did not have that bloodline?”

“What did you say?!”

Cheng Cangshan roared in fury, so angry that his beard nearly stood on end.

Without the Cheng Family bloodline, how could Cheng Yu possibly have cultivated to his current level?

For him to deny it now only proved that he was cold, heartless, unfilial, and faithless!

If such a person could not be used by the Cheng Family, and was even so openly hostile toward it, then he would inevitably beco a trendous calamity.

Since words could no longer settle the matter, harsher thods had to be used!

A wave of pressure instantly erupted from Cheng Cangshan’s body, and a mysterious force swept toward Cheng Zhenjiang and Cheng Yu.

Great clans passed down their legacy through bloodline, and nothing mattered more to them than bloodline inheritance.

Cheng Cangshan was a dignified Grandmaster. His strength had already reached an inconceivable level, and he had made the Cheng Family bloodline itself his Dao.

To a certain extent, he could control those who bore the Cheng Family bloodline!

He thrust out a hand and clenched it hard. Cheng Zhenjiang and Cheng Yu both began to tremble violently, as though they were about to be crushed to the ground then and there.

This was a suppressive force that ca from the deepest part of their bloodline!

Although Cheng Zhenjiang’s strength was already close to the Grandmaster realm, he was still crushed down so hard that he felt wretched beyond asure. Yet he was not afraid in the slightest.

Instead, he grew wildly excited, revealing a crazed smile as he endured the pressure and looked at Cheng Yu.

The rebellious son might be arrogant and overbearing, and might repeat ten thousand tis that he had severed ties and had no connection left.

But he would never be able to deny that he was still his son!

“Rebellious son! Let us see whether you can still be so arrogant now!”

Cheng Yu instantly felt crushing pressure descend over his entire body. He forced himself to remain standing, relying on the pure Internal Energy refined by the Demon-Slaying Dao Canon to resist the bloodline suppression.

But the gap between the late Sixth Rank and the Grandmaster realm was like a heavenly chasm.

There was no way he could withstand Cheng Cangshan’s suppression!

“Courting death!”

A sharp cry rang out alongside the hum of a sword as Chang Ningxiao’s face filled with anger.

That old turtle dared to make a move right in front of her with nothing more than an Internal Energy avatar? He was courting death!

The azure longsword instantly unleashed Sword Qi in all directions as it slashed fiercely toward Cheng Cangshan. The giant turtle let out a cry and moved to block it.

A trendous force erupted. The giant turtle was heavily wounded by the Sword Qi and grew visibly weaker.

Yet Chang Ningxiao’s Sword Qi remained as sharp as ever, ready to strike again at any mont.

Cheng Cangshan suffered the backlash from the giant turtle’s injury and let out a muffled grunt.

But he had long expected Chang Ningxiao to intervene, and a savage smile spread across his face.

“Sword Chief Chang, this is a private matter involving my Cheng Family bloodline. I hope you will not interfere!”

Chang Ningxiao gathered her Sword Intent once more.

“I will cut down whoever I please!”

What Cheng Family or not?

That had nothing whatsoever to do with Cheng Yu’s attainnt in the Sword Dao, and that was what she cared about!

Seeing that Chang Ningxiao was still full of killing intent, Cheng Cangshan sneered.

“Even if you cut down this Internal Energy avatar of mine, so long as he still carries Cheng Family blood, I can suppress him through that bloodline whenever I please!”

Whether she struck or not, it would not solve Cheng Yu’s real problem!

But Chang Ningxiao did not care about that at all. She was about to strike out with another sword attack.

Who cared? She would cut first and think later!

At the very least, she could stop Cheng Yu from being crushed down right now.

But just then, a trembling yet sonorous voice rang out.

“Sword Chief Chang, there is no need for you to act! That old dog cannot do anything to !”

It was Cheng Yu.

Though cold sweat ran down his brow beneath the bloodline suppression, he still wore a asured smile.

Cheng Cangshan, convinced that he had Cheng Yu completely in his grasp, sneered.

“Boy, do you think you can turn the heavens upside down? Ridiculous!”

But in the very next mont, before everyone’s disbelieving eyes, the Thousand-Forged Ice-Thunder Xiuchun Saber flew from its sheath.

The keen blade swept across Cheng Yu’s wrist, opening a cut. Blood shimring with strange light flowed out, while the Internal Energy throughout his body erupted and plunged madly into that blood, separating it apart.

In the next instant, a single thread of blood glowing with golden light was drawn out.

It was the Blood Essence that represented the Cheng Family bloodline!

Cheng Yu’s bold laughter rang out.

“The Cheng Family’s blood? Only trash like you would care about such a thing. I never needed it!”

Cheng Cangshan and Cheng Zhenjiang both widened their eyes, staring in disbelief at the scene before them.

“What are you trying to do?!”

Was Cheng Yu actually trying to cast off the Cheng Family bloodline?!

Bloodline was the foundation of cultivation for Cheng Family martial artists. This would inevitably cause severe damage to one’s martial arts. His realm might even fall backward.

Had Cheng Yu gone mad?!

BOOM!

A trendous force erupted, and the extracted Blood Essence was instantly crushed apart. A strange and wondrous power burst forth, only to dissipate into heaven and earth a mont later.

Cheng Yu laughed coldly and boldly.

“I have only one identity—Jinyiwei Thousand-Household Commander of Jiannan Circuit! What the hell does the Cheng Family count for?!”

【The host has stood firm in his identity, refused to yield to evildoers, and held fast to the great cause of the Jinyiwei. Reward: Internal Energy!】

【Reward: The complete set of Jinyiwei techniques and inheritances (up to the Dao-Entry Realm)!】
