Chapter Thirty-Six: The Power of Will

  "Xiao Chen!" Everyone who witnessed this scene let out a hoarse cry. It was too terrifying, the people of Huayang Sect were really too frightening! Perhaps in the eyes of those who had awakened to the Fantasy Sea and possessed the Yao Stone, Huang Shan's power was nothing. But the problem was that except for Huang Shan, everyone present was an ordinary person without awakening to the Fantasy Sea or possessing the Yao Stone. In their eyes, Huang Shan's power was an extremely terrifying existence.

  "Who's going up first? Or should we all go together?" Looking at the three people who were knocked to the ground, unable to get up, and gazing at him with eyes full of endless anger - Liu Lan, Lan Yun, and Ling Yun - Huang Shan sneered coldly. The immense pain brought by his sworn brother did not make Huang Shan feel any shame that a mighty warrior like himself was bullying ordinary people!

  "Kill them, kill everyone in this village, avenge my brother!" This was the only thought burning in Huang Shan's mind.

  "Xian Chang, this is all because of me, if you want to kill someone, just kill me and leave them out of it!" Ling Yun struggled to crawl over to Huang Shan's side, pitifully tugging on his pant leg. Poor Ling Yun was now filled with regret, but was it too late?

  "What the hell are you? Let go of me! Seeing Lingyun's pitiful face, Huang Shan was furious. If it weren't for you, would I have ruined years of effort in an instant? Would I have lost my own brother?"

  His face turned iron-green, Huang Shan kicked off Lingyun's entanglement. "You little brat, do you want to die? Fine, I'll fulfill your wish!" Huang Shan stepped on Lingyun's palm and heavily trampled it. You bastard, you scum, you ruined my years of hard work, making it all for nothing! I want you dead. Not only do I want you dead, but everyone in this village must also die!

  However, I, Huang Shan, have a habit. Anyone who makes me suffer will not die an easy death. The cold-laughing Huang Shan continues to crush on!

  "Ah!" Lingyun let out a mournful cry with her fingers intertwined.

  "Surpassing the clouds!" Lan Yun wailed.

  "You damn it!" Liu Lan also scolded endlessly.

  "Don't worry, wait until he's dead, and I'll take good care of you. Women, do you know what it means to rape before killing? Hahaha!" Huang Shan laughed uncontrollably, feeling that only this extreme method could alleviate his immense pain of losing his brother.

  But in the next moment, Huang Shan's smile suddenly disappeared, because he felt a strong gust of wind coming from behind him.

  "Darkness Descends, Demon Break!" The danger drew near, and Huang Shan made the most correct choice in the first moment. A huge force once again sent Xiao Chen flying out.

  "What? You're not dead yet?" Huang Shan's head turned around in shock. This was the third time he had landed his strongest blow on him. An ordinary person who couldn't even awaken to the level of Huan Hai, actually withstood three full-force attacks from a Yao Shi Wu Zhe and didn't die, this kind of tenacious vitality, probably not even a cockroach could compare!

  The miraculous body, this is the miraculous body that Xiao Chen possesses. With a heart ten times stronger than ordinary people, it not only gives Xiao Chen ten times more strength than ordinary people but also gives him ten times more terrifying recovery power. This makes Xiao Chen wander on the edge of the ghost gate again and again, but he comes back lucky every time.

  "Why can't I see his punching motion clearly?" With a mind full of doubts, Xiao Chen struggled to get up from the ground again. Having been subjected to the opponent's fierce attacks time and time again, Xiao Chen naturally wanted to dodge and counterattack. But the opponent's speed was simply too fast, his own eyes couldn't keep up, let alone make timely and correct reactions. To put it bluntly, he could only be like a wooden puppet now, filled with resentment as he was trampled by the opponent.

  "Darkness Descends, Demon Destroyed!" Huang Shan unleashed another big move, and Xiao Chen, filled with resentment, was blasted flying once again.

  "Hey kid, can you get back up and show me what you're made of?" Huang Shan raised an eyebrow. Although he pretended to be nonchalant, his heart was actually racing like a stormy sea. Having just unleashed four powerful moves in a row, even a seasoned warrior like him couldn't help but feel a little winded.

  "You damn bastard!" At this moment, Xiao Chen felt dizzy and his body ached as if it was going to fall apart. Even the slightest movement, like bending his fingers, brought him immense pain, like being stabbed by ten thousand needles. He really wanted to just lie there motionless, but he couldn't. Xiao Chen understood that if he didn't get up and stop this bastard, not only Liu Lan, Lan Yun, and Ling Yun would die, but the entire village would be doomed as well. And if he allowed such a terrible consequence to happen because of his own inaction, he would probably feel guilty for the rest of his life.

  "No, I won't let so many people suffer because of me. I have to stand up, I have to stop this damn thing!" With such a strong conviction, Xiao Chen stood up again. Although his legs were trembling, although his body was swaying, although his breathing was rough and disordered, Xiao Chen managed to stand up miraculously with his unyielding willpower.

  Good job! Xiao Chen!

  Huang Shan's nose was about to get crooked from seeing all this. This kid, has it come to this point and still won't die? Alright! Since that's the case, I'll just twist your head off, let's see if you'll still not die? Thinking of this, Huang Shan took big strides forward, arrived in front of Xiao Chen, and stretched out his hand.

  Just as Huang Shan's hand was about to touch Xiao Chen's neck, a cold hum came. Huang Shan's body suddenly shook violently, and he felt an inexplicable chill run down his spine. At the same time, a huge sense of fear surged towards him. Under the pressure of this great fear, Huang Shan felt dry-mouthed and tongue-tied, his body becoming stiff and rigid.

  "Consume oil!" Just then, Xiao Chen let out a furious roar. At this moment, Xiao Chen was not relying on his own body to complete such an action, but rather relying on his unyielding willpower to complete this final blow.

  Xiao Chen's right fist heavily struck Huang Shan's jaw. "You bastard!" Huang Shan, whose jaw was crushed, said his last resentful words unclearly before finally falling down. Even a master of the Yao Shi school, his jaw was one of his weakest points.

  Xiao Chen smiled, he knew that he had finally succeeded, and everyone was finally saved.

  "Who are you?" Before his death, Huang Shan looked into Xiao Chen's eyes and saw an unhidden terror that he couldn't conceal. He didn't answer. He finally understood that this seemingly weak young man actually hid a terrifying existence within him. It was an existence that could make one feel fearful just by its presence, and lose the will to resist.

  "But I'd rather die than take a scapegoat with me!" Huang Shan bellowed, gathering his last strength, looking around and finally fixing his gaze on Liu Lan's body closest to him.

  "Pffft!" Huang Shan opened his mouth wide and a jet of dark, foul-smelling blood splattered onto Liu Lan's body.

  "Ah!" Lü Lan let out a mournful cry, her body slowly turning black.

  "Hahaha!" Huang Shan let out a final cry, and then his legs convulsed violently before becoming still. A round, bead-like object rolled out of his chest. Although the bead looked ordinary, it felt warm and smooth to the touch. What was even stranger was that the bead that had fallen from Huang Shan's body was extremely restless, rolling around on the ground as if it had a life of its own.

  "Yu Lan!" Xiao Chen stumbled forward in grief and indignation.

  "Don't go, Xiao Chen little brother!" Lan Zhiyuan, who was terrified, grabbed onto Xiao Chen's arm.

  "Let me go!" Xiao Chen suddenly shook off Lan Zhiyuan's grasp and rushed towards Liu Lian.

  "Xiao Chen, don't! Liu girl has been poisoned by the deadly poison of Huayang Sect, you can't touch her, if you touch her, you'll also die!" Lan Yun's voice was also extremely terrified.

  But at this time, Xiao Chen was still in charge of these things. He tightly hugged Liu Lan in his arms, "Liu Lan, how are you? Are you okay? Don't scare me!"

  This kind girl is the only person who can be considered a confidant after Xiao Chen came to this world. In the process of getting along with each other, a different warmth was also born between the two people. Seeing Liu Lan's misfortune, Xiao Chen's heart was about to break.

  But hearing such a familiar voice, Liu Lan struggled to open her eyes. Although it was extremely painful, she smiled, relievedly smiled. Xiao Chen, still cared about herself.

  "Xiao Chen, I'm in so much pain, it's unbearable. I think I'm going to die soon and see my grandfather!"

  "No, Liu Lan, you won't be able to, cheer up, I need a doctor, what are you all standing there for? Hurry up and go find a doctor!" Xiao Chen shouted at the three people behind him, his eyes full of tears.

  "Xiao Chen, although I am the village chief of Pingquan Village, I am also a doctor in Pingquan Village. To be honest with you, Liu Niang has been poisoned by the Huayang Sect's poison, and no one in the world can cure it!" Lan Zhiyuan lowered his head. The Huayang Sect is the largest sect in the Great Yan Kingdom, and its two most proud and unparalleled skills are the Soul-Calming Mind-Stabilizing Technique and the Art of Poison-Making.

  The poison of Huayang Sect is unmatched in the world, and no one can solve it. This is a consensus among all people in the world.

  "You deceived me, you deceived me! Fine, since you refuse to save Liu Lan, I'll go find a doctor myself!" Xiao Chen bellowed and swept Liu Lan into his arms.

  "Xiao Chen, don't be agitated. Listen to me, my grandfather is the best doctor in this area, he didn't deceive you. The Huayangzong poison is indeed something that no one in the world can cure!" Lan Yun also hurriedly consoled him. But suddenly, her body shook violently. The Huayangzong poison is a deadly poison that no one can cure. Not to mention that whoever gets poisoned will definitely die, even those who touch the poisoned person will not be spared. But how come Xiao Chen in front of her seems completely fine?

  "Xiao Chen, stop being reckless. They didn't deceive you, the poison of Huayang Sect is the most toxic in the world, no one can cure it. I'm done for, from now on I won't be able to stay by your side anymore, you must take good care of yourself from now on!" Poor Liu Lan's hand finally fell weakly."

  "No!" Xiao Chen let out a desperate cry, his legs could no longer support the weight of his body, and he fell to his knees on the cold ground with a thud. Liu Lan, although they had not known each other for long, was sincere, kind, and beautiful. It was because she was by his side that he felt no longer alone, no longer lost. But now she was going to leave him forever.

  "Oh, heavens, why are you so cruel?" Xiao Chen pounded the ground with all his might, overcome with agony. The cold, hard earth tore at Xiao Chen's skin without mercy, but he didn't even notice. Compared to the pain in his heart, what was this?

  "Xiao Chen, people can't come back to life after they die, you should let go of your grief!" Ling Yun, who had already gotten up, gritted his teeth and mustered up the courage to walk towards Xiao Chen. Sorry, Xiao Chen, all the blame is on me, sorry!

  How could this be? Lingyun's body also shook, and he suddenly found Liu Lan lying quietly on the ground. The dark color on her skin was slowly fading away, slowly restoring its original fair and delicate color.

  "Why? Why?" Xiao Chen continued to pound the cold ground, completely unaware that the blood seeping from his torn skin had already splattered onto Liu Lan's body.
