Chapter 448: Tang Sword VS Silver Pike (1/2)
Song Heting sneered, ”I mixed Yearning Powder into the snake soup you drank. If you use your brain too much, you’ll have a splitting headache. On top of that, I added Cartilage Ointment into your bathwater. Every time you think of escaping, you will feel weak all over. You must agree to my conditions if you want the antidote.”
”This is a violation of my human rights!” I protested.
”Don't try to pressure me with those laws. We have different rules here,” Song Heting dismissed.
I shook my head, ”Aunt Song, I'm sorry to disappoint you. In fact, Song Xingchen warned me on the first night itself so I vomited the soup and I only used the bath water once. The drugs you’ve used won’t work on me at all!”
Song Heting stared in wide-eyed rage, ”Song Xingchen, you dare betray me?!”
Song Xingchen fell on one knee, ”Aunt Song, my mission is to protect Song Yang from all harm. How can I turn a blind eye to such a thing?”
”Song Xingchen, you’re good at using my words against me,” laughed Song Heting. “So you’re all grown up and rebellious now? When you were young, your parents were killed by the enemy. Have you forgotten who brought you up? Who taught you martial arts?”
”Aunt Song, you’re like a mother to me and I will always remember the kindness you’ve shown me. But I disagree with your methods,” Song Xingchen respectfully argued.
Song Heting gritted her teeth, ”Everything I do is for the benefit of the Song family!”
Song Xingchen stood up and slowly pulled out his Tang Sword, using the sharp blade to protect me. ”Then please forgive me for what I’m about to do.”
Song Jie immediately got into position, ”Song Yang-gege, my mother has gone mad. We’ll escort you out of the village.”
Throwing her head back in laughter, Song Heting crushed the armrest. ”How dare you disobey me!”
”I’m willing to accept my punishment afterwards,” bowed Song Xingchen. “I will break my finger to make up for my mistakes.”
”There’s no need for that. Defeat me and you can go anywhere you please!” a cold glint flashed past Song Heting’s eyes.
I thought to myself, How could a middle-aged woman defeat Song Xingchen and Song Jie? At the time, I completely underestimated Song Heting.
Song Heting swept away the teacup which was sliced into two by Song Xingchen midair. Embedded into the pillar next to Song Xingchen, both parts of the teacup remained unbroken, much to my astonishment.
Song Heting's hands moved rapidly like flashing lights, her feet firmly fixed in Horse Stance. Deliberately turning the sword around, Song Xingchen met Song Heting head-on with the back of the blade.
Her hands swiftly flew out towards Song Xingchen’s vulnerable parts, her palms landing heavily on his chest. Stumbling a few steps backwards, Song Xingchen covered his chest.
”Mom, forgive me!”
Song Jie charged towards Song Heting, mother and daughter exchanging blows so quickly that all I could see were flashing figures. However, what was clear to me was Song Jie’s struggle against her own mother who seemed at ease.
More than a dozen blows later, Song Heting’s palm landed on Song Jie’s abdomen. She screamed and flew towards a row of chairs, breaking all of them.
Song Heting leisurely took the stance of a martial arts master. A strong sense of hostility rose in my heart and my pupils reflexively turned red.
Song Heting coldly threatened, ”Don't use that on me or I'll dig your eyes out!”
The threat to my Achilles Heel woke me up like a bucket of cold water over my head. I didn’t dare to use the Eyes of Yama. This was a fearsome woman!
Right then, Di Yi'an strolled in all alarmed. Greeted by such a scene, he asked in shock, ”Darling, what's going on?”
”Go!” Song Heting snapped.
Song Jie took the opportunity to complain, ”Dad, look at what Mom did. Say something, won’t you?”
