Chapter 907 - 270: Now This Is Revenge!
I dug up his family’s ancestral grave and took away the bones of his ancestors to refine Yin bones. I happened to encounter him coming to pay respects at the grave.
At that time, I hid in the shadows, watching this pitiful person grieving at the grave, and a few thoughts arose in my mind.
My spells can only kill, not save. I could see he was already terminally ill, with only a few days left to live.
I couldn’t save his life, so I could only make a deal with him.
I gave him money, letting him return home to arrange for his young children to be cared for by a relative and enrolling them in the best academy.
Finally, he returned to the mountains, where I killed him and captured a wisp of his ghost, making him my housekeeper!
My Li Mansion was once a respected family of scholars and farmers; how could it be full of snakes and rats?
Having such a scholar as a housekeeper is what truly befits my Li Family."
Chen Yan snorted and smiled faintly, "It’s just playing house after all."
The voice in the air suddenly shed its tone of tragic helplessness and said coldly, "Since you came for the Sun Family, then all this talk is nothing but useless chatter, a waste of breath!
You and I are both cultivators. In the end, the truths of this world are proven by our might!
Why say so much? Since you want to settle a score, it ultimately comes down to a fight!
Then let us not speak further, let’s have a spar! Let me see if your skills are as sharp as your tongue!"
Chen Yan laughed heartily.
He spoke so much, not merely for the sake of momentary argument or to waste breath.
But rather...
He spoke at length with this descendant of the Li Family, gradually forming some guesses about the other’s cultivation pattern.
This person’s cultivation lacked natural talent, relying on external forces, using insidious methods, excavating remains, assembling Yin bones, and then refining himself.
This is actually because of his lack of talent and the thin primordial qi of this world, which prevents him from cultivating otherwise, requiring such methods instead.
Yin bones or corpse qi, to put it bluntly, are ways of substituting for primordial qi.
Essence nourishing of the body with primordial qi is the right way. Without primordial qi, corpse qi is used.
This is the path of absorbing evil qi.
Evil qi not only tempers the body, making it as tough as a zombie. At the same time, evil qi can refine the primordial spirit—similar to Chen Yan’s "sharpening," but more aggressive, simpler, and more damaging to oneself.
Even if accomplished, the primordial spirit may seem upgraded but is actually riddled with flaws.
Because of the evil qi within, this monster’s divine sense and primordial spirit is filled with various negative obsessions.
Hatred, anger, grief, resentment, and so on.
Chen Yan’s rebukes and direct exposure during their conversation were not to waste breath but to directly strike at the opponent’s true heart!
Breaking the other’s self-deception and the supporting obsessions in their heart.
The cultivation of the primordial spirit through evil qi, this is the opponent’s weakness.
Once the obsessions in the mind are exposed and shaken, the opponent’s divine sense and primordial spirit will be disturbed.
Perhaps they may be weakened.
Although Chen Yan isn’t afraid of fighting, if he can weaken the opponent a bit with words beforehand, why not?
Even if it’s just a possibility, it costs nothing but a few wasted words.
"Not bad, not bad. In the end, you finally show a bit of rogue straightforwardness, merely about fighting it out."
Chen Yan laughed heartily, taking out his sword with a bright flash in hand, shouting, "Then come on! After this fight, I’ll send you to the afterlife! When you see your Li Family people down there, remember to tell them you’re a failure!
A cowardly failure!
For the sake of your cultivation, you hid for over a hundred and fifty years, letting the true enemies die of old age!
Only then did you crawl out of hiding, killing a few weak innocents and claiming you’ve avenged your family!
Ha! When you see them, let’s see if they will accept your words!!"
"..."
After a moment of silence, that voice suddenly roared in furious rage, "I’ll kill you!!!!!!"
Buzz!!
The air trembled all around, and suddenly, countless black qi surged from all directions!
Several strands of black qi lunged at Chen Yan. Chen Yan coldly laughed, quickly casting a Golden Light Technique on himself!
The golden light barrier of the Golden Light Technique surrounded his body, and as several strands of black qi crashed into it, a sizzling sound echoed!
This old ghost of the Li Family’s cultivation was much stronger than that of the so-called housekeeper, clearly having reached the Third Realm!
Under the impact of several strands of black qi, the golden light of the Golden Light Technique on Chen Yan visibly thinned.
Chen Yan cursed, "Die!"
His sword swung down, cutting through several strands of black qi.
Yet, though these black qi were cut and dispersed, they quickly drifted through the air, ultimately regrouping and charging at Chen Yan again with a ghastly wail.
Chen Yan watched with wide eyes, suddenly realizing, and took out several pieces of Six Yang Righteous Qi Talisman, placing them on the sword’s edge!
As he infused primordial qi into the sword, the talismans on its edge ignited, transforming into golden light that enveloped the blade.
Chen Yan held it in his hands, his confidence swelling, shouting as he stepped forward to meet the black qi!
This time, as the sword slashed down, cutting through a mass of black qi, it emitted a howl of painful agony as the golden light penetrated, causing the black qi to disintegrate as if meeting its nemesis, vanishing amidst the golden light.
