Chapter 183 - The Heartbroken Yang Zixi (1/2)

After destroying Lin Hantian, Zhou Donghuang did not pay any attention to him. He turned his gaze to the distance, where a giant eagle circled the skies with a man standing on top of it. “If I am not wrong… you are Yang Yunji, chief of the Yang family?” Zhou Donghuang glanced at the man.

Since seeing Lin Hantian being crippled by Zhou Donghuang, falling to the ground after being severely injured and close to death, Yang Yunji’s expression had changed to one of despair. As Zhou Donghuang turned to him and acknowledged him, Yang Yunji was frightened.

Yang Yunji did not respond but rather squeezed his legs together as he called to the eagle beneath him. “Escape! Escape!! Now!! Do you want to die?!”

Just as Yang Yunji called out to the giant eagle, the eagle also seemed to come to its senses. Its eyes seemed to flash with disgust as the white glow of inner Yuan on its back trembled, flinging Yang Yunji off its back.

Boom!!

Yang Yunji fell to the ground from a height of more than ten meters. With a crushing sound, he landed with his legs broken, groaning in pain.

Whoosh!!

The huge eagle seemed to transform into a bolt of lightning as it streaked towards the distance.

However, although it was very fast, Zhou Donghuang was even quicker. In a flash, he had appeared in front of the giant eagle.

“S… Sir… I… I don’t think… I did anything to you?” The giant eagle looked at Zhou Donghuang with fear, its massive body trembling in fright. The man before him could even cripple an established Silver Essence adept like Lin Hantian; he could easily kill this early Primal Core stage demon.

“You’re trying to say that… you had nothing to do with the destruction of all those buildings?” Zhou Donghuang glanced at the courtyard, where more than half of the structures had been destroyed. He looked at the giant eagle again.

“Sir, I shall be your slave for ten years to make up for this!” begged the giant eagle, its voice quivering.

“No need,” replied Zhou Donghuang, shaking his head.

Just as the eagle’s eyes lit up, Zhou Donghuang spoke again, “I am more interested in your inner core, your beak and those sharp claws.”

With that, Zhou Donghuang struck. In the instant that the eagle’s eyes revealed its despair, Zhou Donghuang had already removed the inner core from within its body, and killed it with a blow, dragging its corpse to the sky above the courtyard.

Boom!!

He let the corpse of the giant eagle drop to the ground below. Zhou Donghuang floated in the air as he looked down upon Lin Hantian, his lips curling into a smirk.

“Tenth elder of the Divine Light Sect?”

“Zhou Donghuang, you will die a terrible death!” Lin Hantian screamed. He then killed himself.

“At least he has some backbone.” Zhou Donghuang raised his eyebrows, his gaze landing on Yang Yunji, who had fallen and broken both his legs. “Yang Yunji, you didn’t want to stay in the Chu royal city as the Yang family chief and chose to come all the way to Qingshan town… just to see me fail?”

“Young… Young Master Zhou.” Yang Yunji lay sprawled on the ground, kowtowing to Zhou Donghuang with fright. “You are such a high and mighty Primal Core adept, I am just like an ant compared to you… May you be magnanimous and forgive me this once. I swear, if you spare my life, I will never appear in front of you again. Please! Please!” Yang Yunji begged.

“Brother Zhou!” Before Zhou Donghuang could respond, Yang Zixi, who had already recovered from some of her injuries, barely stood up as she asked Zhou Donghuang, “Can you leave this Yang Yunji to me to settle?”

Zhou Donghuang looked deeply at Yang Zixi, before finally nodding. “Yes.”

“Zixi!” Hearing Zhou Donghuang agree to Yang Zixi’s request, Yang Yunji’s eyes lit up with hope that he had been saved.

He would never have imagined what happened next.

Yang Zixi pulled out the sword at Freezing Wind’s waist and placed it right at Yang Yunji’s throat. With just a quiver of the sword, she could easily kill him.

“Zi… Zixi! I… I… I am your uncle! Don’t forget that I raised you up! You cannot be ungrateful!” Yang Yunji was flustered. He never expected his niece to treat him like this.

“At this point, you still have the cheek to say something like this?” Yang Zixi’s eyes turned icy cold. “Ever since I knew that you killed Third Uncle, I have not taken you as my uncle… trying to use the fact that you raised me against me now? Back then, my parents saved your life… that should be more than enough to make up for you raising me.”
