Hahahaha
Hearing Lu Wei’s words, Chunshan Long not only wasn’t alarmed but burst into relieved laughter.
Because based solely on Lu Wei’s movements, he could judge that this fellow absolutely couldn’t dispel the Yin Gu technique he had cast! He could even say he was completely clueless!
The Yin Gu technique was excellent in both its sinister nature and its concealment. Even Song Qiao couldn’t detect anything at first glance. And this monk could grasp it with just a casual glance? It was utterly preposterous! If the Yin Gu technique could be so easily seen through by anyone, it would be unworthy of its name!
Chunshan Long even began to suspect that the surge of killing intent emanating from Lu Wei earlier was merely a bluff! Therefore, he laughed heartily and taunted Lu Wei, saying, "I advise you to go back where you came from as soon as possible. I’ve heard monks never kill. If someone dies because you forcibly tried to remove the Yin Gu technique for her, wouldn't that diminish your merit?"
Lu Wei flashed a wicked smile and calmly replied, "My merit is immeasurable, why should I fear its depletion?"
Uh…
Song Qiao couldn't help but give Lu Wei a thumbs-up and exclaimed, "You’re quite the comedian."
Tao Mu and Tao Jie exchanged glances and nodded at each other. Although the monk Song Qiao had found seemed a bit strange, they, mother and son, still trusted Song Qiao implicitly. In comparison, Tao Mu felt utter disgust towards Chunshan Long and Li Bin, the master and disciple duo, and wanted nothing more than to sever any ties with Japan or let the Tao family fall into their hands. Thus, at this critical moment, they resolutely requested Lu Wei's help for treatment.
Lu Wei was quite straightforward. He took out a sharp knife from his sleeve, pinched one of Tao Mu’s fingers, and lightly pricked her fingertip.
Hiss!
Tao Mu suddenly gasped in pain. It wasn't because she was unaccustomed to manual labor or afraid of pain. It was because the killing intent that the monk constantly exuded was too terrifying! Especially after her fingertip was pierced, she felt as if that killing intent had seeped into her bones through her blood vessels, making her, a woman, feel a chill down her spine.
Jiang Rou also remained on guard beside them, feeling uneasy due to the killing intent emanating from the monk. Only Song Qiao remained calm, knowing that Lu Wei had no ulterior motives. It was just that even he couldn't control the killing intent himself.
Amidst everyone’s tense emotions, they clearly saw a drop of blood seeping from Tao Mu's pricked fingertip. However, what was bizarre was that the blood was deep black! The surface of the blood seemed to exude an extremely sinister aura!
"Is this the effect of the Yin Gu technique?" Tao Jie clenched his fists, his eyes turning bloodshot. He desperately wished to make Chunshan Long and Li Bin, who had tormented his mother so much, pay.
Lu Wei didn't offer an explanation. His hand holding Tao Mu's finger did not withdraw. Instead, using their fingers as a connection point, he slowly injected a wisp of his vital energy into her body.
"Mr. Song, please assist me."
Without Lu Wei's prompting, Song Qiao understood his intentions as soon as he saw his actions. Song Qiao knew that Lu Wei wasn't asking for help because he couldn't handle the Yin Gu technique. It was because ever since he had suffered qi deviation back then, his vital energy had become extremely violent and sinister! Because of this, it was difficult for him to control the killing intent he exuded. Therefore, it was imaginable that such ferocious vital energy entering the body of an ordinary person like Tao Mu, even just a wispy thread, could have immeasurable effects and consequences!
So, Song Qiao quickly moved behind Tao Mu and lightly tapped her back with his index finger, also channeling a gentler wisp of vital energy to neutralize it.
As both their vital energies were simultaneously injected into Tao Mu's body, her complexion immediately turned dark purple, and her chest felt heavy and suffocating. Seeing his mother's condition worsening, Tao Jie was startled and rushed forward to check on her, only to see his mother spit out a mouthful of black blood!
"Pfft!"
Looking at the congealed black blood clot on the ground, Tao Jie’s face was filled with terror. His whole body trembled uncontrollably, clearly unable to accept this reality. Meanwhile, Chunshan Long beside them couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, this is what you call digging your own grave! We clearly told you not to act rashly, but you insisted on showing off and being arrogant. Now you've messed up!" Chunshan Long looked at Tao Jie with a benevolent smile and said, "Kid! How about it? Are you going to reconsider my offer now? If you kneel down and beg me to help, perhaps there's still time. But if you continue to let these two fools mess around, the consequences will be… huh?"
"You! How can this be?"
Chunshan Long's words were cut short as he noticed Tao Mu's complexion had already regained its rosy hue. This greatly astonished him, and he couldn't understand what those two had done in the time he was speaking.
"Mom! Are you alright?" Tao Jie also quickly reacted to the changes around them and asked with a look of pleasant surprise.
Tao Mu stood up from the chair and tried moving her limbs. She felt a sense of lightness all over her body, and the blockage in her chest that had felt present for years seemed to have cleared. Her spirit was more invigorated than ever, clearly having recovered significantly!
"I… I think I'm really alright?"
"Mistress, do you truly feel better? Why don't you try walking a few steps?"
Seeing the family’s joyous expressions, Li Bin felt a surge of irritation. He sucked on his teeth and casually glanced around. He saw the clot of blood Tao Mu had just spat out on the ground and noticed a talisman paper within the black blood clot gradually turning to powder. This indicated that the monk hadn't used some demonic trick to give the woman a moment's respite, but had actually broken his senior brother's Yin Gu technique?
Realizing this, Chunshan Long gritted his teeth in anger. He gnashed his teeth fiercely and said with a sinister grin, "You are all too happy, too soon!" With that, he reached for his waist and drew out a loaded handgun! The dark muzzle was pointed directly at Song Qiao, and without a word, he was about to pull the trigger!
However, at that moment, a violent killing intent surged through the cramped kitchen! Endless killing aura poured into the small room like a raging flood, making even the surrounding doors and windows seem unstable! As the killing intent erupted, a figure flickered, instantly appearing beside Chunshan Long.
"Heh heh…"
A faint chuckle, and a string of prayer beads shattered. Immediately, with a crisp *snap*, the gun in Chunshan Long’s hand flew out of his grasp and crashed in the courtyard, breaking into a pile of wreckage!
Feeling this chilling killing intent, Chunshan Long’s face contorted in shock. He dazedly shifted his gaze to his side and saw that the person who had disarmed him was Lu Wei! Lu Wei didn't look at Chunshan Long but turned to Song Qiao and asked, "Sir, does this person need to be dealt with?"
"Deal with me? You scoundrel!" Chunshan Long truly felt threatened at this moment. He hurriedly berated them, attempting to explain the severity of their actions. "Do you know whose lineage I come from before daring to deal with me? To tell you the truth, my master is Guanshan Ming of the Iwagarasu-ryu school in Japan! If you dare to touch me, he and the entire Iwagarasu-ryu will never let you go!"
"Heh heh… Iwagarasu-ryu…" Song Qiao sneered twice upon hearing this and said coldly, "What Guanshan Ming has to do with me? Kill him!"
