"Dad … Mom …"
A mournful voice finally gushed out from my mouth along with a mouthful of heart blood that was stuck in my chest.
The black-clothed elder didn't remove the restriction on my body. The reason why I made a sound was because I had used up all of my Dao energy and the dark green energy to crazily squeeze my heart, causing a mouthful of heart blood to flow out. At the same time that my vocal cords were destroyed, I let out a final scream.
However, that was all I could do.
After screaming, blood continuously gushed out from my mouth along with a heart-wrenching pain. However, I couldn't feel it at all. I only wanted to crawl forward and dig my parents out from the ruins.
I wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Lu Zhenyang to beg him to save my parents.
But I can't even do the humblest of thoughts.
My body still couldn't move as blood and tears covered my entire body. Everything in front of me was already blurry, but my mind was abnormally clear from the pain.
The black-clothed elder's voice sounded in my ear. He seemed to be asking for Lu Zhenyang's opinion. "Zhenyang, let's leave after killing this brat. The Metaphysics Society must have received news of this. We shouldn't delay any further."
I blankly listened to their judgement of my fate, but there wasn't a single ripple in my heart.
Lu Zhenyang seemed to be silent for a long time before he finally said with a smile, "I suddenly don't want to kill him. My broken arm will accompany me for the rest of my life. How can I let him die so easily?
Third grandpa, just cripple his cultivation and let him live on. He can only watch as I advance towards the peak while he can only live in pain and self-blame for the rest of his life. "
The black-clothed elder seemed to be frightened by his words. After a slight hesitation, he didn't say anything else. He only walked over and placed his hand on my shoulder.
As he moved, a thick and abundant Qi of the Way entered my shoulder. In the blink of an eye, it reached my Meridian of the Heavens. After destroying my meridians, the terrifying Qi of the Way gathered in my Eight Extraordinary Meridians and violently exploded.
Not only did he want to destroy my cultivation, but he also wanted to destroy my talent.
The pain in my body didn't affect me in the slightest. After letting out that miserable scream, I was already numb from the pain.
After doing all of this, the black-clothed elder finally released the restriction on me. After seeing my body softly fall to the ground, he left my side and walked straight to Lu Zhenyang's side before saying gloomily, "That's enough."
Lu Zhenyang walked over and squatted beside me. He looked down at me and sighed in pity, "Top tier 4 meridian talent. It's gone just like that. What a pity …"
At this moment, his voice had already become bored to death, as if he no longer had any interest. He gave me one last look of disgust before turning around and hurriedly leaving with the black-clothed elder and the others.
In the bleak winter village, no one knew what method the Lu family had used. Even though they had caused such a huge commotion, none of the neighbors appeared. It was as if no one had noticed what had happened here.
After Lu Zhenyang and the rest had left, I didn't know how much time had passed before the rumbling sound of an excavator sounded from the surroundings. It seemed that someone was heading over here.
Up until now, my mind was still clear and I hadn't fainted. I didn't even hear what Lu Zhenyang said before he left, nor did I hear the sound of a car. I only used my hands to support myself on the ground again and again, trying to gather my strength to climb up. However, I failed over and over again.
I didn't know how many times I tried, but I finally managed to support myself up with trembling hands.
I didn't have the time to climb up, nor did I have the time to check my body. I also didn't have the time to feel the pain in my body.
I could only numbly and calmly crawl forward. I didn't know how much time had passed before I finally crawled to the courtyard that was in ruins. I weakly started to move the bricks under my body.
The bricks that were as light as paper in my eyes in the past were now as heavy as a mountain. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't move a single stone.
However, I didn't give up. I coughed and gasped for breath as I continued to move towards the ruins.
At that moment, a few people wearing workers' uniforms walked to my side. The leader lowered his head to look at me. Then, he frowned and ordered the others. "Take this person away and send him to the hospital.
The rest of you, drive the forklift and quickly clean up this place. "
As soon as he said that, two people quickly walked over. Each of them grabbed one of my arms and pulled me up from the ground. Then, they dragged me into a car.
At this moment, I finally broke down. I tried to struggle with all my might, but those two ordinary workers were like two Heavenly Masters to me. They exerted a bit of force with their arms, and all my struggles were suppressed.
I finally gave up all hope. I took one last glance at my house that had already turned into ruins. Then, my vision turned black and I fainted.
I had a very long dream.
In the dream, I turned into a mouse one moment, then into a deity the next. However, most of the time, I saw myself as an angry monkey. I lifted my head to look at the sky and bent down to look at the ground. There was an indescribable brutality in my heart that made me want to tear the world apart.
I didn't know how much time had passed when I slowly woke up. I struggled to prop myself up. I found that I was lying on an exquisite bed that had a nice fragrance.
Although his body was still a little sore, it was more of a warm and comfortable feeling.
I couldn't help but have an illusion that everything that had happened before was just a dream. Lu Zhenyang hadn't found me, my parents hadn't died, and my house hadn't turned into ruins.
However, when I opened my mouth, I could only make a hoarse and unpleasant sound.
Thus, I collapsed on the bed and stared at the ceiling blankly.
My tears and snot had already flowed out. At this moment, I couldn't even cry. I was as numb as a marionette … No, not like a marionette. A marionette could still move, but I was lying there, too lazy to move. I was as silent and lonely as a piece of rotten wood.
I didn't know when Ye Pianpian had appeared beside me. She held a wooden bowl in her hand. While walking, she stirred the black liquid in the bowl with a spoon. When she raised her head and saw my open eyes, she stopped what she was doing. There was a hint of joy in her cold voice. She asked me, "When did you wake up?"
I didn't reply. It seemed that she didn't wait for my answer either. After frowning slightly, she nodded and said, "I almost forgot. Grandpa Li said that your throat is injured. You won't be able to speak for several months.
Lie down and don't move. Drink this bowl of medicine first. "
Then, she skillfully walked to the bed and sat down. She scooped up a spoonful of medicine and brought it to my lips.
It was only now that I could see Ye Pianpian clearly. A thought suddenly popped up in my originally deathly still heart. I abruptly sat up and knocked over the medicinal concoction in Ye Pianpian's spoon, causing her to furrow her brows.
However, I didn't care about that. I opened my mouth and mumbled to her for a long time. However, even I couldn't understand what I was saying.
In a hurry, I pulled her hand and repeatedly wrote on her palm. "Where are my parents?
Are they still alive? "
At that moment, I was still very weak. Ye Pianpian didn't even need to use her Dao Qi to easily throw me to the ground. However, she didn't do so. She just frowned even more.
I didn't know how many times I wrote, but she finally understood my words. She retracted her hand and said in a low voice, "Zhou Yi, when Grandpa Li and I saw you, you were already in the hospital. We didn't go to your house, but I heard from the worker who sent you there that two corpses were found in your yard. At that time, they had already been sent to your local crematorium."
I listened blankly. I wasn't excited, nor was I angry.
Yes, I had already expected the result. What was there to be angry about?
I just returned to my previous silent appearance and laid there again.
Then, Ye Pianpian said something to me, but I didn't hear a word clearly. In the end, she suddenly leaned over and grabbed my shoulders with both hands. She shook me and said, "Zhou Yi, wake up!
How are you going to take revenge on Lu Zhenyang in the future with your dispirited appearance? "
Revenge … Take revenge on Lu Zhenyang …
My deathly still heart only wavered for a moment before returning to its previous state.
As soon as I woke up, I sensed the situation in my body.
The Dao Qi in the five apertures in the Heavenly Veins had long disappeared. The entire Heavenly Veins were blocked, and there was no Dao Qi at all.
My eight extraordinary meridians were also in a mess. My meridians were sticky and twisted.
The old man in black was indeed a Heavenly Master. When he attacked, he didn't leave any leeway. At that moment, I was a complete cripple.
