Chapter 128: Blood For Blood

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

“Huh?” Li Xianyu listened to Brother Zhang’s words and was bewildered. His words sounded as impossible as “Baoze Group went bankrupt and the big boss ran away with your sister.”

The reason why Great-Grandma was not asked to accompany him in the water was because the Ancient Gods Clan had Li Peiyun and the God of War, where both were top master. There were also four super-strong scattered cultivators that were on the list of demon descendants. Coupled with hundreds of scattered cultivators that were in groups, the God of Apes alone might not be able to complete the task of catching the Demonic Priest’s successor and reclaiming the Demonic Pries’s relics.

Therefore, they needed Great-Grandma to help God of Apes suppress the “gangsters” together. Great-Grandma was the Unparalleled War Spirit, and the pinnacle existence in the modern history of 200 years. She was nailed onto the stone just like that?

“What are you waiting for? Let’s go and meet the support forces outside the mountain,” Brother Zhang panted and said.

“Brother Zhang, don’t talk and keep your heartbeat steady.” Xia Xiaoxue turned her head, her face was frightened and anxious. “Li Xianyu, save him quickly. Please, Brother Zhang is a good man.”

Xia Xiaoxue knows that Li Xianyu’s healing blood was confidential information, as Thunderbolt Battle Lady had warned them not to reveal it, but human life was at stake now. Xia Xiaoxue couldn’t care about that anymore. She entered the company a few years ago, and her first mentor and senior was Brother Zhang.

The middle-aged man was a hot-tempered man who always cursed, but he had a good heart. He taught Xia Xiaoxue a lot of things and shielded her from knives a few times for her. Later, after Xia Xiaoxue was able to do the tasks independently, Brother Zhang asked to know more about her tasks from time to time and to listen to her explanation of the process. If she did not do well in certain aspects, he would spray her with his spit.

So Xia Xiaoxue hoped that Li Xianyu could save him.

“I can’t be saved, I am clear about my own situation.” Brother Zhang smiled bitterly, as he spat out blood foam. “We will inevitably face death in our line of work. Take care of yourself in the future.”

Li Xianyu didn’t care if Brother Zhang was a good person or not. He did not believe what the other person said. He did not believe that Great-Grandma will be nailed to the stone. But seeing the dying man who could pass any minute, he suppressed his desire to ask. He took out a disposable syringe from his wallet, stuck it into his right arm and drew five milliliters of blood.

Xia Xiaoxue scrambled to take it, and injected into the carotid artery of Brother Zhang’s neck.

“Hmm?” In just ten seconds, Brother Zhang was surprised to find that his heart was beating forcefully again. The sharp pain in the wounds disappeared, replaced by itching caused by cell proliferation and healing. Xia Xiaoxue heaved a sigh of relief and turned her head. A sweet and grateful smile bloomed on her face as she smiled at Li Xianyu.

“What’s going on?” Brother Zhang was shocked.

“Don’t ask these useless questions.” Li Xianyu waved his hand. “What exactly is going on? Make it clear, who nailed my grandmother to stone?”

“It’s Li Peiyun,” Brother Zhang said.

Li Xianyu’s pupils shrunk. Although he had vaguely guessed it, after all, among the many demon descendants present, only the sword of qi in Li Peiyun’s hands could inflict damage to Great-Grandma’s Unparalleled War Spirit body. “No way. How could he have defeated Great-Grandma? Well, he can, but my great-grandma wouldn’t be so weak?” Li Xianyu was in disbelief.

The tiger with its teeth pulled out was also a tiger. Even if a puppy was armed to the teeth and incredibly ferocious, but if the tiger wanted to leave, the puppy couldn’t do anything.

“Originally it was going well. The God of Apes was responsible for entangling with the God of War. Fu Shan and Chen Yu fought each other. Li Peiyun’s sword of qi, despite its great power, was suppressed by scattered cultivators and your great-grandma. The situation of the battle was all under control.” Brother Zhang said in disbelief, “But not long ago, we did not know what was going on with the Demonic Priest’s successor, and his strength soared. Suddenly, he pierced your great-grandma’s heart and nailed her to a stone, and your great-grandmother seemed unable to resist.

“How long ago was not long ago, to be exact?” Li Xianyu and Thunderbolt Battle Lady looked at each other.

“A dozen minutes ago,” Brother Zhang replied.

Li Xianyu and Thunderbolt Battle Lady looked at each other again. Li Xianyu looked down at his core, and his heart froze.

It was not the Demonic Priest’s successor’s power that soared, but the state of his great-grandma had plummeted. It was linked to the sudden break of energy extraction from Great-Grandma. Looking at the dim light from the Black Water Spirit Bead, its power was clearly exhausted. If the spirit bead was already in this state, Great-Grandma who was closely associated with it must have also been affected.

If Great-Grandma could not absorb her great-grandson’s essence, then she was like floating duckweed. Li Xianyu even suspected that the power of the black water spirit bead that helped him resist being dominated by the evil creature, was being extracted from Great-grandma.

“Li Peiyun’s sword pierced through the Unparalleled War Spirit seemed to have a great shock and awe effect on the scattered cultivators around him. The scattered cultivators that besieged him nearby stopped in horror.”

Li Xianyu could imagine the tense atmosphere at that time. The reputation of the Unparalleled War Spirit was too great. A Gokudo Master amidst Gokudo characters. Such a powerful character, unexpectedly had her heart pierced through by Li Peiyun’s sword. One can imagine the people’s reactions around at that time: “Shit, I’m scared to death.”

Just like Great-Grandma beating Buddha Head in Lianghua Temple with one punch, deterring the major families and clans, the effect was the same.

Li Peiyun, this fool, was famous now. Using his great-grandma as a stepping stone to raise his reputation in one fell swoop. After a few days, the demon descendants community will be shocked again.

Brother Zhang continued, “The God of War laughed maniacally and said, “The Unparalleled War Spirit is a paper tiger, which has now been killed. Don’t you want to know the information about the Great Deities Palace?” His words inspired a lot of scattered cultivators and although he knew that he was a disaster to the east, information about the Great Deities Palace was obviously more tempting than the Demonic Priest’s sword of qi.”

The Unparalleled War Spirit herself was a huge deterrence. Although Great-Grandma was a paper tiger, if the paper tiger was torn apart in full view, its deterrence will plummet.

Scattered cultivators will think, the supreme Unparalleled War Spirit was nothing more than this. Her seal was still intact and she can’t use much of her power, then there was nothing to be afraid of.

“But there are also some scattered cultivators who do not agree with their approach and choose to stand on Baoze’s side. After all, compared with the Great Deities Palace, the Demonic Priest’s relics are an immediate profit. Moreover, although our Baoze was established for a short time, the law enforcement is strict and fair, and it is still more popular.” There was pride in his tone.

Thunderbolt Battle Lady asked, “How are the other colleagues?”

Brother Zhang smiled bitterly. “Half of them are dead, it’s a mess there now.”

Xia Xiaoxue and You Mingyu bit their lips.

Li Xianyu stood up and clenched his left fist. A fiery anger and combat desire burned in the bottom of his heart.

“Xia Xiaoxue, you stay and take care of Brother Zhang. The others can go out and meet with the rescue team, I won’t go.” Li Xianyu looked out at the direction of the scuffle. “My great-grandma is there.”

Thunderbolt Battle Lady shook her head and said, “I’m not leaving either.”

You Mingyu sneered coldly. “Looking for help is not my style.”

Brother Zhang said furiously, “You lot are acting on impulse. Some of you are new recruits, so forget it. Thunderbolt Battle Lady, what are you doing? You are a senior in the company. Chapter 2, Article 1, of the Code of Practice for Missions: In the event of uncontrollable situations, save your strength and wait for support.” Don’t you understand?”

“I’m a new guy. I’ve never seen any code of operation. I just remember the Baoze staff’s manual Prologue,” Li Xianyu clenched his fist slowly and said gravely, “If someone injures his companion, do unto others as they would have done unto you.”

You Mingyu smiled brightly and enunciated each word slowly, “A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, and blood for blood.”

Thunderbolt Battle Lady’s expression turned dark. “As he had maimed, so must he be maimed.”

Brother Zhang looked at them in a daze. This sentence was on the first page of the employee manual. It was an excerpt from the Bible. Although it was a short sentence, it has a historical background.

At the beginning of Baoze’s founding, not only did the major families not take the company seriously, but the scattered cultivators of the demon descendants community were not convinced. They were used to the loose management of the Buddhist society, and certainly did not want to abide by the many rules and strict laws made by Baoze.

As a result, the employees of the Baoze Group have frequently reported casualties in various parts, and the staff morale of the company was low.

Then this sentence was born, and it was printed on the first page of the employee manual. At that time, a young master of the Shentu family provoked trouble and injured more than a dozen ordinary people. He severely injured two Baoze group employees who went to arrest him, and cut off their limbs and wrecked their core.

That night, the big boss brought three of the ten gods of Baoze, two hundred senior employees, and thousands of heavily armed middle and junior employees, who surrounded the main manor of the Shentu family. If it had not been for the Shentu family conceding defeat that night, the seven major surnames of the demon descendants community would have become six.

The eldest young master of the Shentu family that declared arrogantly, “If you have the ability, get the guy surnamed Qin to catch me,” faced his deserving end. His four limbs were severed and his core was wrecked in the face of hundreds of people.

The following year, this sentence was regarded by Baoze’s employees as the golden rule. When an employee was injured when carrying out law enforcement, there would be groups of colleagues who would enact crazy revenge.

Later, the company wiped out the Ancient God Clan, and their reputation and authority reached a peak. With the exception of some extreme cults and scattered cultivators, few people dare to deliberately find fault or put up violent resistance against arrest with Baoze Group’s law enforcement.

Gradually, this golden rule was forgotten and became history.

Looking at these young faces, Brother Zhang seemed to have seen the scene when news was reported back, and the company erupted in heartened cheers. It was true courage and badassery of the young.

“Well said. Our law enforcement department is never afraid of death. People now have forgotten Baoze’s principle to seek revenge for the smallest grievance. A tooth for a tooth, and blood for blood.” Brother Zhang staggered as he stood up and declared, “Let’s charge back together and fight until the support team arrives.”

The 87 members of the support team were armed with weapons and helicopters and full gear, could not have waited outside the village, otherwise they would be on the news tomorrow. It would take some time for them to get here.
