Chapter 676: Extreme

Zhang Yan suddenly grabbed the steel bar in her hand and fiercely stabbed it into her own shoulder.

Fresh blood immediately flowed down, the steel bar pierced through her shoulder, and she opened her mouth wide to shriek, staring fixedly at Chen Yu.

"Threatening me?" Chen Yu laughed: "A mere Yin Spirit, wanting to threaten me?"

Chen Yu suddenly let out a violent shout, his right hand grasping into the void, his right hand forming a claw, reaching out into the void toward her.

Zhang Yan shrieked in agony; a transparent shadow inside her body was clinging tightly to her body, refusing to leave from within her.

The power in Chen Yu's hand suddenly amplified, and with a 'whoosh', a mass of black energy was forcibly stripped out from within Zhang Yan's body; this mass of black energy was the Spirit Body that had just been attached to her body.

After this bastard was forcibly stripped from Zhang Yan's body by Chen Yu, it let out a hiss and transformed into four wisps of green smoke, fleeing in four different directions; it was gambling that as long as one of those wisps of smoke escaped, it would be able to survive.

But unfortunately, it still overestimated its own strength; Chen Yu grasped into the void with his right hand, and four Talismans rose up, accompanied by four screams, and those four wisps of green smoke turned into four balls of fire, the Spirit Body destroyed in both form and spirit.

"Yanyan, are you okay, Yanyan?" Zhang Peng then rushed forward to shake Zhang Yan.

"Brother... save me." Zhang Yan's consciousness recovered a little; she opened her eyes and looked weakly at Zhang Peng, then her head hung heavily to one side, and she fell into a coma.

"Let me." Chen Yu walked up, took out a Silver Needle to stop the bleeding for Zhang Yan, then grabbed the steel bar stuck in her shoulder with one hand, gathered his Qi slightly, and pulled the steel bar out.

Zhang Yan screamed in pain; she was forcibly jolted awake by the pain.

Chen Yu threw away the steel bar, stopped the bleeding for her, and then said: "Send her back."

"Mr. Chen, is she okay?" Zhang Peng asked nervously.

"The wound is fine, but she is overly frightened, and the Spirit Body just now had a tendency for self-harm, so I had to forcibly strip the Spirit Body from her body; doing this has a consequence." Chen Yu paused here.

"What consequence?" Zhang Peng's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Chen Yu nervously.

"Because the Spirit Body that invaded her body is not ordinary, and coupled with the fact that her Eight Characters belong to Yin and she lacked the protection of consecrated items, once the Spirit Body invaded, it would adhere closely to her body; forcibly stripping it might lead to the loss of her soul," Chen Yu said: "But you all saw the situation just now; if I hadn't acted, the consequences would have been even more serious."

"Then what should we do?" Zhang Peng was anxious.

"Send her back first and see how the situation develops," Chen Yu said with a frown: "Because I am not sure now if she has lost her soul; I hope that after this incident, she will be more careful herself and have some sense of awe toward ghosts and gods."

"Mr. Chen, great kindness cannot be repaid with words; in the future, if there is anything in Shengjing City that you need me for, I, Zhang Peng, will definitely do my utmost to help," Zhang Peng said solemnly.

"Alright, no need to be so polite; if she doesn't speak, eat, or drink after waking up, and just sits there motionless, contact me in time, because if she shows those signs, it is highly likely that she has lost her soul," Chen Yu said.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Chen," Zhang Peng said gratefully.

An ambulance was called, and Zhang Yan and several others were taken away together; although this matter was dangerous, at least no lives were lost, which could be considered the greatest stroke of luck in an unfortunate situation.

After dealing with the matters here, Chen Yu also returned; he closed his eyes for a while, and the sky was already slightly bright.

The house he lived in was a property of the Ye Family, and this residential complex was the famous Shengshi Longyuan in Shengjing.

Although the location of this place was not the most prosperous area of Shengjing, the name Shengshi Longyuan was known far and wide.

The reason was none other than that the people who could live in this complex were either famous figures in the region or high-ranking officials and nobles of Shengjing, and there were even some meritorious elders living here; the complex was not large, with only dozens of households, and most of the houses were vacant.

But if one could own a house here, it was definitely something most people envied.

Chen Yu had been here for a few days and hadn't gone out for a walk in the morning yet, so he tidied up a bit and went out.

In a small square outside the complex, an old man with white hair was practicing a set of exercises, and there were many people stopping to watch on the side; out of curiosity, Chen Yu also stopped his steps and watched the old man practice.

The old man had white hair, but there were few wrinkles on his face, and his complexion was ruddy and his steps were steady; he was not a Martial Artist, but he had good methods for health preservation, so his physique was no different from a young man's.

Moreover, the set of exercises he was practicing was a Health Preservation Technique, its mechanism similar to Tai Chi, but it also incorporated Daoist philosophy and the insights of its founder, so it was soft yet firm when practiced, with quite a bit of a vigorous feeling.

After finishing the set of exercises, the old man finished his practice with high spirits, and a burst of applause erupted from the crowd on the side.

"Zhu Lao's Health Preservation Technique is truly amazing."

"Yes, look at him, he's almost ninety this year, yet he walks with a spring in his step, faster than a young man."

"After all, he is from the 'Xianzhi Hall', the number one Traditional Chinese Medicine hall in Shengjing; this health preservation method is simply superb," the people around discussed it one after another.

After the old man finished practicing, he took a towel handed to him by a girl, wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and said to a girl on the side: "Zifu, the purpose of our Zhu Family's 'Body Refining Technique' lies in the unity of person and Qi, combined with the Spiritual Energy born from the first ray of creation in the morning, so as to achieve the effect of health preservation."

"My father practiced this technique all his life and passed away at ninety-six without illness, and when my grandfather returned to the west at one hundred and six, his teeth were intact and his hearing and vision were sharp; you must remember, you must persist."

"Yes, Grandfather." The girl smiled sweetly, then turned around and said: "Everyone, my grandfather practices the Zhu Family's Body Refining Technique in this small square every morning, rain or shine; those who are interested can come and learn together, our Xianzhi Hall will never keep it secret."

"Good, Zhu Lao is truly a Medicine King of a generation, a living immortal."

"No wonder the medicine of the Xianzhi Hall brand can sell well overseas."

The onlookers applauded one after another; it was clear that this old man had a famous reputation and a respected status.

Chen Yu on the side nodded slightly; he had heard of Xianzhi Hall, which originated from Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the traditional medicine under the Xianzhi Group had been selling well at home and abroad for decades; this old man should be the Medicine King of the Zhu Family Immortal Ganoderma Hall, Zhu Yiwen.

Then, Zhu Lao's second round of health preservation exercises had already begun, and many people in the square lined up in several rows to follow him; Chen Yu smiled and turned to leave.

After all, with his strength, he no longer needed this kind of elementary Health Preservation Technique to maintain his health, and although this set of health preservation exercises of the Zhu Family looked good, Chen Yu could pick out five or six flaws in one breath.
