The moment the ceramic jar exploded, everyone screamed and instinctively closed their eyes.
When they opened them again, the scene before them made their eyeballs nearly pop out!
The ceramic jar had shattered into pieces scattered across the floor. A massive black mist hovered in the air, and within the mist, a pair of scarlet eyes glowed.
"Ahhh… what… what is happening?"
The Ling family members trembled violently, almost wetting themselves.
Suddenly, the black mist surged into Ling Xinchun's body. Ling Xinchun quivered uncontrollably, as if he had been electrocuted.
As the trembling continued, his body underwent a drastic transformation.
He grew over a meter taller, his muscles rapidly expanded, and his skin turned purple.
A pair of black horns emerged from his head, and his fingernails grew long and sharp, making him look like a terrifying monster from hell.
When the physical changes ended, he turned back to face the Ling family.
It was difficult to say if he was still human. His face had become rotten and covered in blood.
A foul stench spewed from his nostrils, and his mouth revealed ferocious fangs.
It was utterly terrifying!
The Ling family members were almost scared to death.
They felt as if all the blood had rushed to their heads, making them dizzy and almost lose their balance, falling to the ground.
"Dad… Dad!" Ling Tengyun felt his vocal cords spasm, and his words came out extremely distorted.
Ling Xinchun stared at him with wide, scarlet eyes, then suddenly lunged forward, his sharp claws thrusting out!
Ling Tengyun's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at his chest.
The massive arm had pierced his chest, and his heart was now in Ling Xinchun's hand.
"Dad…" he whispered weakly. As Ling Xinchun yanked his hand back, Ling Tengyun fell heavily to the ground, motionless.
This bloody scene finally ignited the Ling family's terror.
They let out piercing screams and scrambled to escape.
Ling Xinchun bit into Ling Tengyun's heart, blood gushing down.
Then, he let out a bestial roar and lunged at them…
Soon, only screams remained in the cave…
While the Ling family was being slaughtered, Wu Tian was preparing to leave Wang Shengshou's home.
Wang Shengshou's body was no longer in serious condition.
Clearly, under Wu Tian's acupuncture, all the impurities of the coagulating powder had been removed.
Ling Xinchun had never believed in Wu Tian's acupuncture. After all, in his eyes, Wu Tian had just fiddled around a bit and then cured Wang Shengshou.
However, Wu Tian's acupuncture was far from casual.
It was the Myriad Poisons Dispersal Needle Technique from the Divine Physician's ultimate skills, said to be able to break all poisons in the world.
The impurities in the coagulating powder were, in essence, a form of toxin.
Therefore, using this needle technique yielded twice the result with half the effort.
Before leaving, Wang Shengshou said to Wu Tian, "Master, although I've said this several times, I must say it again."
"My right eye has been twitching all day, and I have a bad feeling that something is about to happen."
"So, you should be extra careful and don't let the Ling family harm you."
"They are capable of poisoning, which clearly shows they can do even more outrageous things."
Wu Tian smiled and said, "I understand. Don't worry, Wang Shengshou, I won't be ambushed by them."
After chatting for a few more moments, Wu Tian drove away.
Wu Tian had originally planned to go straight home, but it was still morning, and there was nothing to do at home, so he thought he might as well wander around the city.
He drove around the streets, but after a long time, he became lost, unsure of where to go.
If it were other men, with sufficient financial resources, when bored, they might go for a bath or a foot massage.
However, Wu Tian had no interest in such things, so he decided to go back.
Just then, he passed by the antique market in the city, and his interest was suddenly piqued.
He remembered that he hadn't been to the antique market in a long time.
The stalls in the antique market changed almost daily, so he might find some good treasures.
So, he parked his car and headed into the market.
The market was as lively as usual, with people coming and going, exuding a joyful atmosphere.
Wu Tian walked around, browsing, when he suddenly noticed a newly opened jade shop in the market.
The jade shop looked very exquisite from the outside, suggesting a significant investment in its renovation.
Since Wu Tian was bored anyway, he walked into the jade shop.
As it was a new establishment, business was very good, with a constant stream of customers.
The shelves were filled with exquisite jade products, which reflected a crystal-clear brilliance under the lights, appearing very lustrous.
For ordinary people, seeing such exquisite jade products would be very tempting.
But as Wu Tian looked, his brow gradually furrowed.
This jade shop only looked good on the outside. In reality, most of the jade products sold were fakes; it was a complete scam.
Wu Tian lost all interest and was about to leave.
But at that moment, a casual glance made him stop involuntarily.
He saw a robust young man standing to his left.
The young man had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, radiating vigor, clearly indicating he was an upright person.
Even more surprisingly, he had a long sword strapped to his back, making him look like a young hero from a martial arts novel.
At that moment, the young man was talking to the owner of the jade shop.
The owner held a delicate small box in his hand.
Inside the box lay a jade pendant. The jade pendant looked quite good from the outside, appearing to be a top-quality jade pendant.
But Wu Tian could tell at a glance that this jade pendant, like the other jade products in the shop, was merely a fake.
The young man took out the jade pendant and examined it.
After a moment, he said hesitantly, "Boss, this jade pendant is so expensive. What if it's fake?"
The boss said, "Alas, what are you saying? I run a jade shop, how could I sell you fake jade?"
"Don't worry, I am honest with everyone and will never cheat you!"
