Chapter 148 Throw a punch, throw a punch!
Looking at his cousin's haggard face, Yue Kaishan felt distressed, and then looked at his legs.
"Cousin, your leg..."
"Don't you understand?" Yue Kaishan was practically drinking from the jade bottle; drinking from a bowl wouldn't relieve his worries at all!
"Of course it was the old man who beat me. He knew I failed to break through to the next realm, so he wouldn't spare me the beatings."
Grandpa Yue beat Yue Xingtian in frustration. Usually, the younger generation of the Yue family would try to dodge a few blows, but today Yue Xingtian knew he was in the wrong and stood still, enduring the entire beating without flinching.
After the old man's anger subsided a bit after the beating, he realized that Yue Xingtian hadn't dodged at all, and immediately felt a pang of heartache.
In any case, he is currently the most talented member of the Yue family; none of the others have even reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.
There's still a long way to go. Let's not talk about today. What if we break through to the next realm in a few decades? The lifespan of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is as long as two hundred years. Even if someone who is over sixty years old breaks through, a sixty-year-old Foundation Establishment cultivator is definitely someone with potential for development.
The most urgent task is to get Yue Xingtian's health back in shape as soon as possible.
The old man examined him for a while but couldn't come up with a good solution. So he put him in solitary confinement, but in reality, he wanted him to try to recuperate for a few days while he went to the warehouse to find medicinal herbs and to ask a doctor for advice.
Despite all his precautions, he couldn't stop the big mouths in his family.
On his way here, Yue Xingtian was spotted by several clan elders with whom he did not get along.
"Hey, isn't this Yue family's good son, Xingtian? What happened? Is something wrong with you, and your bride broke your legs because she was so angry?"
The Foundation Establishment stage elder didn't like Xingtian to begin with. After all, there are factions in the family. He was overjoyed to see Yue Xingtian fail to break through.
"You're such a coward. The old master told you to get married, and you just went ahead and did? You've only been at your breakthrough level for a few days? A month? Do you really think you're the pride of the nation? Do you even know your own level? You didn't dare to contradict the old master and ask him to postpone the wedding. You deserve your bad luck. Do you think you can let others arrange your cultivation?" These words were quite fair.
That's just a blatant attempt to sow discord.
The news spread much faster than Yue Xingtian could limp along, and before long, those who harbored resentment about the matter all came forward.
The head accountant was the fastest to run: "Hmph, how many resources of the family have you consumed since you started cultivating? You good-for-nothing, how many supplies will you consume this time? Do you really think my Yue family's treasure trove is your pocket? With just a word, so many clansmen have run themselves ragged and lost their lives to get things into your hands. This time, no matter what the old master says, I will not give in."
The accountant showed no mercy this time and took away all the wedding gifts. What business is it of Yue Xingtian of giving gifts to the Yue family?
The Tang family members were even more smug, walking past him with their heads held high. Some even stomped on the paving stones and walked beside him with their partners, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, showing off their legs. When they reached the rockery or the benches for rest, they would walk in front of Yue Xingtian, sit down, and have their "wives" massage their legs.
"That's not the most important thing!" Yue Xingtian downed another large bowl of wine, slammed it heavily on the table, cracking it open. "I've made my brothers suffer; I've made them unable to hold their heads high."
The Yue family has a very upright family tradition and values loyalty; they've never betrayed a close friend, but...
“Liu Zi, I walked past Liu Zi’s house and his father pointed at me and lectured Liu Zi. I’ve become a negative example. Liu Zi couldn’t say a word after being scolded. It breaks my heart!” Yue Xingtian pounded his chest and then grabbed Yue Kaishan by the collar.
"And another thing! Da Jin was forced to kneel on the ground. You know, he likes that girl from the Fang family, but his parents always disagree. Now I'm making him kneel down and look at me, to show him that 'the two of them' are always right, and that parents would never harm their children. If you lose your virginity too early, you'll end up like this beggar."
Yue Xingtian hugged his cousin and cried. The problem was that the two were separated by a table, which made Yue Kaishan extremely uncomfortable.
“I’m so upset. I would have been fine if Da Jin had just said something to me, but he just stared at me. I know what he meant was: Brother Xing Tian, I’m on your side. The more they act like that, the more upset I get.”
Yue Kaishan suddenly remembered something, “Cousin, you’re not a fire-attribute cultivator.”
"What, do you think my Shaking Gold Fist looks like something you'd play with fire?"
Yue Xingtian was already drunk. He shoved Yue Kaishan aside and unleashed a powerful punch, which was originally just a formless fist stance. But as soon as he moved, his meridians seemed to have tiny ant holes appearing on a thousand-mile dike, and his violent spiritual power surged forth like a torrent of water.
The burly man, whose face was already flushed from drinking, was now even more unable to control his strength.
He didn't want to hold back; he wanted to vent all his frustration with one punch, and he wanted to give those demons and monsters in human skin a good beating with his fists.
The fist came out with a whooshing sound. Although it was not aimed at Yue Kaishan, the force of the punch was astonishing. With one punch, Yue Kaishan's clothes were torn to shreds by the gale.
"Cousin, the sandbag is outside."
At this point, Yue Kaishan, having become "skilled through practice," realized that if he didn't take the drunk man to the yard, he would become the punching bag.
I got beaten up a lot when we practiced boxing together as kids, but I just learned my lesson.
At this moment, Yue Xingtian was only focused on throwing punches freely, unaware that the Yin energy flowing within his body was being violently disrupted by the astonishingly large amount of Blazing Red Pine Nut Wine. The two were intertwined, and as the fist technique was activated, the drunk Yue Xingtian forcibly commanded all the spiritual energy to surge into his fist. In the midst of the surging, the two actually began to merge.
The Yin and Yang energies slowly tended to balance, and the scorching fire-attribute spiritual wine was gradually seeping into the damaged areas of the meridians, where the dense Yin energy left behind often lingered.
He unleashed a set of punches, moving forward as he punched, breaking wooden doors and collapsing walls. Yue Kaishan punched his way into the courtyard, but after finishing the set, he felt it wasn't enough.
"Don't go out! Don't go out! Again!"
This time, the momentum was even more astonishing. Yue Kaishan's elderly father ran out to check the situation. Seeing him throw the sandbag, he breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he turned around, there was a loud "boom".
The sandbags and the courtyard wall were smashed to pieces.
"I want to box! I want to box!"
Yue Kaishan hurriedly ran out and saw his cousin muttering incoherently and waving his arms wildly. He immediately sensed something was wrong. "Oh no, my cousin has gone mad!"
By then, it was too late for him to find the elders.
In the semi-open courtyard, Yue Xingtian's body had gone limp. The violent spiritual energy was savagely destroying his body. Spiritual energy fusion was not so easy, especially with two waves of spiritual energy that he had not refined fusing together in his body. The violent battle of spiritual energy was tearing his flesh apart.
But his soul was still roaring; he felt it wasn't enough, not enough. His pent-up anger couldn't be released, and his fist techniques couldn't be unleashed.
Type it out for me!
Blood Secret Technique - Ling.
In an instant, terrifying blood energy erupted from his body, and the power contained within his physique ruthlessly suppressed the two waves of wild spiritual energy. This was not the end, but more like the beginning of death.
He was like a balloon stretched to its limit, being forcibly compressed. The gas wouldn't give up; the greater the compression, the stronger the gas's counterattack would accumulate.
Punch them! Throw them all away!
Which way to throw the punch? There's no target, no direction.
At this moment, the spiritual energy of the Yue family ancestral home surged, and the spiritual energy of Shuangjian Mountain, the majestic mountain that was split in two by the Chen family ancestor's sword, also converged here.
The two peaks, surging with spiritual energy, transformed into two pillars of heaven.
The mountain says: The gate to immortality is in the heavens.
The fist says: "To act against Heaven, to punish Heaven."
