Chapter 834: Both Sides Suffer

"Must you insist on us both suffering?" Xie Yu shouted deeply, his right hand curling as a radiance flashed, shielding his entire body.

This guy was actually already at the Late Stage of the Primordial Qi Realm, quite a bit higher than Chen Yu.

"Even if it means we both suffer today, I am going to destroy this woman." Chen Yu sneered, pointing his right hand forward again.

With a crack, a bamboo stalk burst, all six stalks bent, and the Protective Qi Xie Yu had cast around Qiu Yanfang also reached its critical point.

"My strength is weaker than yours right now, but believe it or not, we two might both suffer, but this woman will absolutely not survive." Chen Yu said to Xie Yu with a chuckle.

"Your mother is fine, why must you be so ruthless?" A trace of gravity appeared on Xie Yu's calm, water-like face.

Chen Yu was right; if the two of them really fought until both suffered, Chen Yu might even be injured, but Xie Yu absolutely could not protect Qiu Yanfang—if Chen Yu went all out, she would not survive.

"Chen Yu, I was wrong, I apologize to you, I shouldn't have laid a hand on your mother." Qiu Yanfang finally softened, hissing: "Let me go, and from now on, we will mind our own business."

"Heh, know fear now? Too bad, it's too late." Chen Yu grabbed with his right hand, Lichen in hand, and pointed it from afar, a killing intent striking toward Xie Yu: "Those who block me, die."

"Good lad, worthy of being the bloodline of the Heavenly Mandate elder." Xie Yu shouted deeply, crossing his hands to form a strange Dao Formula, and with several cracking sounds, a thick wall of ice condensed before him.

In truth, he knew that if the two of them really started fighting, the one who would truly suffer would be himself, because Chen Yu was the grandson of the Heavenly Mandate elder.

When Chen Yu attacked him, he could go all out, but when he attacked Chen Yu, he had to hold back; although there was a gap in levels between them, the consequences would be unfavorable to himself.

Just as both sides were at daggers drawn and a great battle was about to break out, Chen Anyi suddenly walked out from the backyard.

"Chen Yu, stop." Chen Anyi shouted.

"You want me to stop? Did I hear that right?" Chen Yu stared at Chen Anyi, unable to help but laugh: "Do you know what she did?"

"No matter what she did, it's all in the past, isn't it?" Chen Anyi said angrily: "Stop."

"What right do you have to tell me to stop?" Chen Yu said coldly: "What right does a man who abandoned his original wife for a mistress and ignored his original wife for decades have to order me?"

"By the right of being your father." Chen Anyi suddenly stepped forward, closing in on Chen Yu: "If you really want to strike, kill me first."

"For this woman, you would throw your own life away?" Chen Yu stared at Chen Anyi, his right hand pointing Lichen forward: "Do you really think I wouldn't dare?"

"Heh, of course you dare." Facing the killing-intent-filled Lichen, Chen Anyi was not afraid at all: "But I still say the same thing: if you want to kill her, kill me first."

Chen Anyi was an ordinary person; now, the killing intent on Lichen was intense, and the sharp killing intent made Chen Anyi's face pale and his body tremble, but he had no intention of backing down at all.

"You..." A trace of anger flashed in Chen Yu's eyes; at this moment, he really wanted to raise his sword and finish this man off with one strike.

"Chen Yu, do it, kill me." Chen Anyi smiled: "Don't worry about being saddled with the reputation of a parricide, because this is what I owe you."

As Chen Anyi spoke, he suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Lichen with one hand; the Sword Qi on Lichen made his hand bleed incessantly, and he shouted: "It is I who owe you and your mother. Kill me, I will have no complaints; consider it repaying what I have owed you all these years."

Chen Yu's gaze hesitated repeatedly, and finally, the killing intent in his eyes slowly faded; he withdrew his right hand, and Lichen vanished.

"I naturally cannot commit parricide. Chen Anyi, I will spare you this time; consider it repaying the debt of birth. If we meet again, we will be enemies; you had best take care of yourself."

As the killing intent in Chen Yu's eyes faded, the six bamboo stalks that had been suspended over Qiu Yanfang's head fell to the ground, and he turned and vanished without a trace.

Only then did Xie Yu let out a sigh of relief; he glared at He Lingyun: "If you don't listen to orders next time and cause trouble, solve it yourself."

"I... I won't dare again, I really won't dare again." The high-and-mighty expression on Qiu Yanfang's face had long since vanished without a trace; she struggled to crawl up, her legs weak.

Chen Yu's killing intent just now had scared her half to death; she would likely have nightmares for the days to come.

"Chen Anyi, thank you for standing up for me." Qiu Yanfang looked at Chen Anyi, a trace of softness appearing in her eyes.

This man was the man she had once loved; although the couple had had no feelings for decades, the fact that Chen Anyi could stand up for her just now moved her greatly.

"No need for thanks. We were husband and wife once; if you really want to thank me, then let me go." Chen Anyi sighed slightly, and he glanced at Xie Yu, who was present: "You are my father's man, aren't you?"

"I should respectfully address you as Master." Xie Yu bowed slightly toward Chen Anyi.

"I don't deserve it." Chen Anyi smiled: "If you go back and see my father, take a message to him: tell him I have disappointed him."

Xie Yu bowed slightly to show he understood, and Qiu Yanfang steadied herself, recovering her original spirit: "Will Chen Yu come back?"

"Of course he will come back." Chen Anyi grinned: "He is my son; I understand him."

"If he comes back, we can't let him off so easily." Qiu Yanfang gritted her teeth: "The matter between me and He Lingyun is not over."

Her voice had barely faded when the several bamboo stalks lying on the ground suddenly stood up violently.

"Watch out." Xie Yu's expression changed drastically; he beckoned with his right hand, grabbed Qiu Yanfang, and dragged her to the side.

Almost at the same time, those six upright bamboo stalks suddenly exploded with a pop, the bamboo shattering into strips as thin as hair.

The extremely thin bamboo strips exploded with immense power; with a slap, the half of Qiu Yanfang's well-maintained face was struck by the bamboo strips, and she screamed, collapsing to the ground as blood flowed down her face.

"Chen Yu, what a cunning move." Xie Yu was both shocked and angry; he had originally thought Chen Yu had left, but he hadn't noticed that Chen Yu had left a contingency.

It was still his own carelessness; if his Divine Sense hadn't relaxed, he would definitely have discovered that trace of Original Power Chen Yu had injected into the bamboo, but unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now.

"Quick, take the mistress to the hospital." The courtyard became chaotic, and those bodyguards who hadn't fallen immediately became busy.

Qiu Yanfang was sent to the hospital, her face considered disfigured, while the Chen Family enjoyed a moment of peace.

Chen Anyi and Chen Anguo, the two brothers, sat together with a bottle of wine placed before them.

"Big brother, do you have any plans?" After a long time, Chen Anguo said.

"Let me meet my son, meet him without any constraints." Chen Anyi closed his eyes and said: "There are some things that must be said to him in person."

"He was about to kill you, and you still want to meet him?" Chen Anguo did not understand.
