Chapter 166 Elegant Couple
The old woman swung the cane in her hand towards Chen Yang, and a black energy transformed into a black dragon, roaring and charging at Chen Yang.
Chen Yang's face showed a relaxed expression. His body flickered, and the next moment, with a "bang," the old woman was sent flying. The black cane in her hand had already fallen into Chen Yang's grasp.
Chen Yang picked up the black cane and fiercely jabbed it towards Zhou Sinian's mouth on the ground.
Zhou Sinian let out a yelp of pain, his expression terrified. He didn't know what madness had seized Chen Yang, suddenly using the old woman's weapon to stab at him.
Was he trying to knock out all his teeth?
Just then, Zhou Sinian felt a stirring in his stomach, and then an unknown monster, as if smelling the aroma of meat, rapidly crawled out from his belly. It followed his throat and seized the black cane.
Chen Yang chuckled and said to Zhou Sinian on the ground, "Relax, don't stop it. I'll pull this monster out now, and you'll be fine."
Hearing Chen Yang's words, Zhou Sinian's tears flowed. He made muffled sounds in his mouth, indicating understanding.
At this moment, the old woman who had been at the stairs struggled to her feet and saw Chen Yang using her cane to lure the蛊 worm out of Zhou Sinian's belly.
Seeing this, the old woman wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. She pointed at Chen Yang and asked coldly, "Who are you? How do you know the method to cure this poison?"
"So you deliberately cursed me earlier, forcing me to make a move, just to use the aura from the蛊 cane in my hand."
"Who exactly are you!"
Chen Yang laughed heartily and said to Meng Ya, "It's too late for you to understand now. I'd like to ask you, you ugly couple, since you've appeared, where is your husband? I did have some dealings with him in the past."
The old woman couldn't bear to listen to Chen Yang any longer. She furiously berated the two ninjas around her, "You two good-for-nothings, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and kill him for me. Don't let him really pull my蛊 worm out of Zhou Sinian's body. If that happens, all our previous efforts will be in vain."
The two Fushang ninjas heard this, instantly drew the crescent moon blades at their waists, and pounced at Chen Yang. They were incredibly fast, and as they drew their blades, two icy sword energies directly slashed towards Chen Yang's neck.
Chen Yang held the cane with one hand, and with the other, he slightly bent his fingers and flicked them a few times.
Four invisible silver-white threads shot towards the throats of the two ninjas.
Under the light, these threads were barely visible. In an instant, before the two ninjas could even scream, their heads were sliced off by the threads and rolled to the ground. Instantly, two corpses, split into four parts, fell to the ground, with blood gushing out.
Chen Yang's expression remained unchanged. He looked up at the old woman and said, "Now it's your turn."
Seeing Chen Yang's move, Meng Ya trembled uncontrollably. She pointed at Chen Yang and said in terror, "You, how do you know how to diagnose with a suspended thread? Who did you learn this martial skill from?"
"Could it be... you are the Celestial Venerable of the Divine Doctor's Hall rumored in the martial world? Your weapon for diagnosing with a suspended thread... is it actually real?" Meng Ya trembled, wanting to retreat.
Seeing how Chen Yang had instantly killed two high-ranking Fushang ninjas with almost invisible threads, Meng Ya was completely terrified.
She remembered the rumors in the martial world about the Celestial Venerable of the Divine Doctor's Hall.
He always carried an invisible thread with him.
That was the technique of diagnosing with a suspended thread.
It was just that the Celestial Venerable of the Divine Doctor's Hall could not only diagnose with a suspended thread but also kill with it.
Meng Ya had always thought these were just rumors. Who could kill people with a flimsy thread? But seeing Chen Yang's strange technique today, she was thoroughly terrified.
She backed away, trying to escape, and said in fear, "Could it be... you are truly the Celestial Venerable? The Celestial Venerable of the Divine Doctor's Hall has been missing for a year, how can he appear in such a small place as Qingzhou City? You... don't kill me, I... I'll leave now, I'll withdraw from Qingzhou City immediately. Otherwise, my husband will definitely avenge me. I..."
As Meng Ya, the old woman, was still speaking, Chen Yang flicked his finger slightly. The next moment, a four-line thread pierced through the old woman's Yintang acupoint. A red dot appeared on her brow, blood flowed from her brow, and she fell heavily to the ground.
She had died completely before she could even use her skills in raising蛊 and using poison.
Chen Yang looked down at Zhou Sinian's throat.
At this moment, a grotesque tentacle worm, covered in sticky fluid, crawled out of Zhou Sinian's throat.
This worm had human-like hands all over its body, dozens of hands like dozens of suction cups. It could absorb nutrients from any organ of the body. More importantly, once it fully matured, its hands would reach into the human brain and completely control one's thoughts.
If Chen Yang hadn't arrived in time today, then tomorrow when he saw Zhou Sinian again, it wouldn't be Zhou Sinian himself anymore.
Chen Yang sneered. Seeing the monster half-emerged, Chen Yang suddenly squatted down and pulled the worm out completely with one hand.
The next moment, he shook his hands, and with a flash of internal energy, with a "boom," the worm turned into a pile of viscous fluid on the ground.
Chen Yang disgustedly wiped his hands and said to Zhou Sinian, "Alright, Old Zhou, you can get up now. Your body has recovered."
Zhou Sinian got up from the ground, looked at the corpses on the ground, and looked up in disbelief, as if he was meeting Chen Yang for the first time. He hadn't expected Chen Yang to not only be skilled in medicine but also possess such formidable strength. The strange old woman had called Chen Yang the Celestial Venerable earlier; could it be that Chen Yang's true identity was indeed the Celestial Venerable of the Divine Doctor's Hall?
Thinking of this, Zhou Sinian suddenly "bang" and knelt at Chen Yang's feet, crying and saying sincerely, "Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen, I don't know if you are the Celestial Venerable of the Divine Doctor's Hall, but now I can only seek your help. Please, please save my Zhou family."
"The other party is a master from abroad, they... they want to wipe out my Zhou family. No, not just wipe us out, they want to completely control my Zhou family and take away all our rare earth mines."
"Those rare earth mines are not only immensely valuable as property, but more importantly, they are crucial for material research and weapon manufacturing. They absolutely cannot fall into the hands of these foreign bandits!"
Chen Yang rubbed his chin, nodded, and said, "What you say makes sense. Then I'll save people to the end. You get up first, and I'll make a call to the branch of the Divine Doctor's Hall. They will immediately go to your Zhou family to rescue them."
Zhou Sinian was overjoyed upon hearing this. He nodded repeatedly, "Good, good, Mr. Chen, please be quick. Those people are at our Zhou family's residence right now. They are waiting. Once I am completely controlled, they will slaughter the rest of my Zhou family."
Chen Yang simply hummed, took out his phone, and dialed Zhu Que's number.
