985. Chapter 983: Walk the Talk

"I don't want to anger you, but I can't go against my conscience." Lu Yuan pondered briefly, gritted his teeth, and said.

"If that's the case, then go die!" Lu Feiyu sneered.

Lu Yuan clenched his fists, forcibly suppressing his anger, and said coldly: "I promise you; I hope you keep your word."

"Rest assured, I, Lu Feiyu, keep my word!" Lu Feiyu said arrogantly, then produced a crimson pill from his bosom and handed it to Lu Yuan, saying lightly: "Take it; it will help you break through your shackles."

Looking at the offered crimson pill, Lu Yuan hesitated a moment, then opened his mouth and swallowed it whole.

"Whoosh!"

After swallowing the crimson pill, Lu Yuan sat cross-legged, circulated the Star Immortal Technique, and began to mobilize the medicinal power to neutralize it.

"This Spirit Transformation Pill is a top-grade first-tier pill, containing terrifying medicinal power; within the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Lu Yuan will surely fall into a coma—just in time for me to succeed!"

Lu Feiyu's eyes flashed with murderous intent, the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a hint of scheming.

Upon entering his belly, the crimson pill instantly transformed into vast, pure energy that swept through his limbs and bones, causing Lu Yuan's body to tremble slightly.

In just a few breaths, the surging, turbulent energy struck his meridians, flesh, organs, and viscera, making his face flush and veins bulge all over his body.

"Pfft!"

Finally, at a certain moment, Lu Yuan suddenly spat out a mouthful of clotted blood, collapsed to the ground, and completely lost consciousness.

This scene completely exceeded Lu Feiyu's expectations; he had thought Lu Yuan would need at least several months before waking up.

Yet who would have imagined that Lu Yuan was so feeble that he fainted in a brief moment, giving no time to prepare.

Gazing at the unconscious Lu Yuan, Lu Feiyu grinned wickedly, his face full of mockery.

For such a worthless Lu Yuan, he had long loathed him to the core and wished to slay him immediately.

However, bound by clan rules, Lu Feiyu could only endure, seeking an opportunity to avenge himself.

But now, Lu Yuan has walked into the trap himself, so it's not my fault.

"As long as Lu Yuan passes out here, who would know?"

After glancing at the unconscious Lu Yuan on the floor, Lu Feiyu gave a cold smile, turned, left the room, and quietly headed toward the backyard.

"Hmm? Something's off—why do I feel hot?"

Suddenly, Lu Feiyu's steps faltered, his face turned pale and grim, and sweat beaded on his forehead.

Lu Yuan, however, noticed nothing unusual.

At this moment, Lu Feiyu's heart pounded violently, as if something were pressing down on him, making it hard to breathe.

"What's going on? What exactly is wrong?" Lu Feiyu growled, panicked and flustered.

"Boom—rumble!"

At that very instant, Lu Yuan's body erupted with explosive energy like surging waves, sweeping through every part of him, causing him immense pain and nearly making him faint.

A tremendous roar erupted within Lu Yuan's body, deafening, like a volcanic eruption.

Accompanied by the sound of breaking bones, Lu Yuan's skin cracked and blood poured out, a horrific sight.

"Ah!" Lu Yuan screamed in agony, his face twisted and feral, his whole body convulsing and spasming, clearly in extreme pain.

"Pfft!" Lu Yuan spat out another large mouthful of clotted blood.

At the same time, a strange, piercing sound suddenly rang out in the room.

Hearing this eerie sound, Lu Feiyu's pupils contracted to pinpoints, and a strong sense of unease welled up in his heart.

Lu Feiyu failed to notice the changes within Lu Yuan's body, but that strange sound drew his keen attention.

What kind of sound was it? It sounded like a swarm of insects crawling about. Lu Yuan struggled desperately and shouted desperately, but he could not make a sound, for he had already passed out and could hear nothing.

Not long after, Lu Yuan ceased struggling, blood seeped from his seven orifices, his body twitched, and he looked terrifying.

Seeing this, Lu Feiyu's face turned deathly pale, and he said grimly: "Lu Yuan, don't blame me for being ruthless; you forced me to kill you!"

Lu Feiyu raised his palm and struck Lu Yuan's chest; in an instant, violent primordial energy surged forth, wildly destroying Lu Yuan's internal organs, causing him to die on the spot.

"Phew! Finally rid of this trouble—my long, painstaking scheming wasn't in vain." Lu Feiyu exhaled in relief.

"Lu Feiyu, in two months I, Lu Kong, will break through to the Pre-Martial Realm; by then I will tear Lu Yuan apart limb from limb!"

Lu Kong, with a grim old face, quickly left the room.

Not long after Lu Feiyu left, a ragged-clothed man sneaked in furtively.

This ragged man was none other than the black-robed elder who had rescued Lu Feiyu that day.

"Whoosh!"

The black-robed elder swiftly flashed to the side of the unconscious Lu Yuan on the ground and reached out to feel for his storage ring.

"Heh, the storage ring is indeed here." The black-robed elder chuckled and took it out.

The black-robed elder shifted his gaze to the nearby wooden cabinet, leapt over, opened it, and took out a pill.

The black-robed elder said solemnly: "Although it's not a spirit-grade pill, its quality is quite good."

The black-robed elder took the pill and turned to leave, but he was a step too late.

At that very moment, the door suddenly opened, and a youthful figure appeared—none other than the unconscious Lu Yuan.

"Oh no! I've been seen!" Seeing this, the black-robed elder's expression changed drastically; he was terrified and fled.

However, before the black-robed elder could run three zhang, he suffered a heavy blow and spat out a mouthful of foul blood mixed with visceral fragments.

Looking at the fallen black-robed elder, Lu Yuan raised his brows slightly and asked coldly: "Do we know each other?"

Upon hearing this, the black-robed elder's face turned deathly pale as he trembled: "I don't know you; I don't know you, I have no idea what you're talking about."

"You don't know what I'm saying?"

"Bang!"

Lu Yuan's right fist exploded forward, striking the black-robed elder's head and knocking him out cold.

Lu Yuan crouched down, grabbed the black-robed elder's arm, and examined him closely.

The black-robed old man's arm was covered in wounds, and also bore mottled bloodstains.

"The wounds on this arm are exactly the same as the ones I left back then; who exactly is this guy? Why did he scheme against me?" Lu Yuan frowned, thinking, his heart filled with doubt and worry.

After a moment of silence, Lu Yuan took out his waist tablet, examined it carefully, and muttered to himself: "Turns out he's a disciple of the Lu mansion, but his cultivation aptitude is extremely poor—he hasn't even met the threshold."

Lu Feiyu is not an ordinary scion of a wealthy family; he is a direct-line disciple of the Lu mansion.

In the entire Yunzhou City, the Lu mansion's strength ranks among the top few; it belongs to a prominent aristocratic clan.

"The wounds on this arm are clearly from a sharp blade, and there's also a distinctive smell." Lu Yuan took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly brightening: "This is poison, a deadly poison!"

Lu Feiyu not only wanted to kill him, but also used poison to do so—truly vicious.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan possesses the Dragon God's Sacred Flame; otherwise he would surely have died without doubt.

"No matter who you are, if you dare to harm me, don't even think about leaving alive." Lu Yuan's gaze turned cold, and he immediately flung the black-robed old man onto the firewood pile. (End of chapter)
