"What?"
Everyone's expression changed upon hearing Yang Tian's words.
And not far behind, a look of panic flashed across Bu Ruji's eyes, and almost the next second, he immediately tried to escape.
Bang!
Bu Ruji channeled his Spiritual Breath and with just one strike broke the hall door, quickly fleeing outside.
"I knew something was wrong!"
Seeing Bu Ruji escape, Ling Ying and Wang Ying's faces turned grim.
They had thought Wang Lingzhan died from cultivation gone awry; who would have guessed it was Bu Ruji who killed him?
"Bu Ruji, do you think you can escape?"
Yang Tian said in a deep voice.
Boom!
Almost the next second, a loud rumbling was heard from outside, and a Sword Aura descended from the sky, striking Bu Ruji.
Even though Bu Ruji was strong, he was knocked to the ground by this Sword Aura.
This Sword Aura was indeed from the Holy Sword.
With a swoosh, the Holy Sword flew back into Yang Tian's hand.
Yang Tian, holding the Holy Sword, walked towards Bu Ruji with a cold expression.
"Young Master, you..."
Bu Ruji looked at Yang Tian with a pale face, seeing the murderous intent in Yang Tian's eyes, he backed away step by step.
Suddenly, Bu Ruji made his move.
He bit his finger, drawing out a stream of fresh blood, and sent a blood curtain towards Yang Tian.
At the same time, he swiftly tried to escape once more.
Boom!
Yang Tian swung the Holy Sword, shattering the blood curtain with a single strike, and with one move, he slashed Bu Ruji's thigh.
Blood splattered everywhere.
Bu Ruji was knocked to the ground, looking at Yang Tian with a pale face, "How... how could you shatter my blood curtain with one strike... you..."
One should know this blood curtain was blasted out using Bu Ruji's Lifebound Magic Breath.
Yet unexpectedly, it was broken by Yang Tian in one strike.
Yang Tian walked up with a cold face, "Bu Ruji, how dare you deceive me time and time again? You're simply courting death!"
Saying that, Yang Tian channeled his Spiritual Breath into the Holy Sword.
Instantly, the Holy Sword erupted with a powerful light.
Bu Ruji's expression changed drastically; he desperately waved his hands, "Young Master, don't kill me... I can tell you everything... Yes, I got this Jade Pendant from Wang Lingzhan... but he..."
Before Bu Ruji could finish speaking, Yang Tian fiercely swung the sword down.
Bam!
With only one strike, Yang Tian hacked Bu Ruji's body into bloody pieces, scattering him everywhere.
"Bu Ruji, go to hell and explain yourself!"
Yang Tian flipped his left hand, striking a Spiritual Breath.
Crash!
Instantly, flames erupted violently, incinerating Bu Ruji's flesh and soul in moments.
Soon, silence descended once more.
"Very good, as expected of my disciple, acting directly and decisively, without any hesitation!"
Shan Xue's eyes were full of admiration.
Yang Tian's expression was cold, "Such a person is not worth any pity in killing."
"Yang, Bu Ruji is dead, but is there a chance Wang Lingzhan is still alive?"
Ling Ying also stepped forward.
Yang Tian was silent for a while, then shook his head, "He might be dead, or he might still be alive, but we have seen Wang Lingzhan's remains, and most importantly, there was indeed a light from the Demon Barrier shooting into President Wang's stomach, so the possibility of Wang Lingzhan's death is higher!"
"If so, let's not talk about this..."
Wang Ying felt faint at the sight of blood and quickly asked everyone to end the discussion.
"Let's go inside..."
Yang Tian picked up the Jade Pendant from the ground.
This Jade Pendant had fallen from Bu Ruji, and it should belong to Wang Lingzhan.
Covered in fresh blood, Yang Tian wiped it clean and saw the words carved inside: Dragon Pendant.
Yang Tian put the Jade Pendant away and invited everyone to enter the villa.
"Big brother, sister, something bad happened..."
As they just entered the villa, Loli Wang Yue ran out in panic, holding a phone in her hand.
"What happened?"
Yang Tian grabbed Wang Yue.
"My mom just called and said she's coming over, intending to take my sister for an abortion!"
Wang Yue said nervously.
"What?"
Yang Tian was struck by this news.
He had gone through great lengths to get Wang Ying pregnant, hoping to bind this beautiful president to him.
If Wang Ying's mom actually comes to take Wang Ying for an abortion, what then?
"That's just perfect!" Wang Ying's eyes flashed a hint of amusement, "If mom comes, she can take me for an abortion."
"President Wang, you mustn't act rashly, this pregnancy must not be terminated; if it is, you'll have trouble!"
Yang Tian said in a serious manner.
"It all depends on my mom, you're so capable, just persuade her not to take me for an abortion!"
Wang Ying chuckled happily.
"Persuade your mom?"
Yang Tian gave a sound of acknowledgment and nodded.
In less than an hour, an expensive BMW Z-series drove into the villa, and several men and women got out, among them a lavishly dressed lady, none other than Wang Ying's mother, Zhu Dan.
"Mom, you're here?"
Wang Ying immediately went to greet her.
"Yingying, didn't I tell you to get an abortion? Why do you keep delaying it?"
Zhu Dan began lecturing Wang Ying as soon as she saw her.
"Mom, sister has already fallen in love with big brother, don't force her to have an abortion, just let big brother become my brother-in-law!"
Wang Yue threw herself into Zhu Dan's arms.
"Big brother?"
Zhu Dan looked around, and when she saw Yang Tian, her expression darkened.
Zhu Dan observed Yang Tian, and Yang Tian observed Zhu Dan in return.
For some reason, Yang Tian felt that Zhu Dan didn't look well. Her forehead appeared dim, the corners of her lips were blackened, indicating illness.
Logically speaking, Zhu Dan should be a lady of high society and shouldn't look like this.
Unless there is an illness!
Thinking this, Yang Tian used the X-ray Vision Technique to peer inside Zhu Dan.
Soon enough, he frowned, noticing a malignant aura around Zhu Dan's heart, indicating signs of disease on its surface.
"Auntie, you don't look well. Are you ill..."
Yang Tian said.
Zhu Dan's face remained cold: "What nonsense are you spewing? I'm healthy as can be! You're a jinx, cursing me, huh? Let me tell you, you got my daughter pregnant, and I haven't even had a chance to settle that with you! Once I get my daughter an abortion, I'll settle this account with you!"
Yang Tian frowned: Is this aunt avoiding medical treatment due to the stigma?
She's ill, yet she refuses to see a doctor?
When someone points out her sickness, she loses her temper?
"Mom, I like brother-in-law. You can't break them apart! If you do, I'll jump off a building..."
Wang Yue threatened.
Zhu Dan slapped Wang Yue on the bottom and scolded: "Adults are talking. Children should not interrupt. Step aside!"
"I don't care, I don't care. I want big brother to be my brother-in-law..."
Wang Yue burst into tears.
Zhu Dan's face became stern as she glared at Yang Tian: "You sure have some tricks, getting my daughter on your side!"
"Auntie, I suggest not taking President Wang for an abortion because if you do, something will happen to President Wang."
Yang Tian said seriously.
Upon hearing Yang Tian's words, Zhu Dan sneered: "Nonsense, first you say I'm ill, and now you're spouting this!"
"If you don't believe me, you can ask President Wang..."
Yang Tian shrugged.
The child in Wang Ying's womb is cultivating Demonic Technique; if removed, it will indeed cause issues.
"Yingying, don't listen to his nonsense. Come with Mom for an abortion!"
Zhu Dan forcefully tugged Wang Ying and started to walk out.
"Mom..."
Wang Ying, who was initially indifferent, was now caught between Zhu Dan's strong attitude and Yang Tian's warning.
If she truly goes through with it and something happens, what should she do?
Honestly, she wouldn't mind aborting the child; after all, it's a bastard.
That night with Yang Tian held no emotional meaning for her.
Getting rid of the baby would be a relief for her.
But she couldn't ignore Yang Tian's words.
"Yingying, what are you worried about?"
Zhu Dan frowned and looked tightly at Wang Ying.
"Mom, do you know about an ancestor in our family named Wang Lingzhan?"
Wang Ying suddenly changed the topic.
"Wang Lingzhan? Isn't that your grandfather's grandfather?"
Zhu Dan quickly responded.
"Then Wang Lingzhan is truly our ancestor!"
Wang Ying felt uncomfortable inside.
This means the Demon Barrier has deeply entered her womb, and she must give birth to the child, or else it would create significant trouble.
Thinking of this, she sighed deeply in her heart: It seems this life will inevitably entangle with this wretched lecher!
"Why are you bringing this up? Stop changing the subject. Today, no matter what, I'm taking you for an abortion!"
Zhu Dan insisted firmly.
"Auntie, have you seen a Jade Pendant like this?"
Yang Tian took out the Jade Pendant.
This is Wang Lingzhan's pendant; Zhu Dan should recognize it, right?
"What is this rubbish? I don't recognize it!"
Zhu Dan took the pendant from Yang Tian's hand, looked at it briefly, then coldly flicked it away, not knowing if it was intentional or accidental, but she threw it with such force that it slipped out.
Crack!
Yang Tian quickly channeled Spiritual Breath and caught the pendant, but he felt a sharp pain as his hand was cut.
A line of fresh blood seeped out, staining the pendant.
This blood was quickly absorbed by the pendant, and soon it vanished without a trace.
"Yang, are you okay?"
Ling Ying asked promptly.
"It's nothing, just a cut on my hand..."
Yang Tian shook his head, putting away the pendant.
He hadn't noticed that the pendant in his pocket was now emitting a red glow, and the "Dragon Pendant" characters on it had transformed into "Yang."
All of this went unnoticed by Yang Tian...
"Yingying, you shouldn't be with someone like him. I'm taking you for an abortion now!"
Zhu Dan grabbed Wang Ying and began to walk out.
"Mom..."
Wang Ying was anxious.
Frankly, she wanted an abortion but knew she couldn't.
Although she and Yang Tian had indulged without feelings, and she never loved Yang Tian, the baby in her womb was his, and it was cultivating Demonic Technique!
"Yingying, you need to listen to Mom today!"
Zhu Dan's attitude was very firm.
She said as she pulled Wang Ying out, but at that moment, Zhu Dan suddenly started coughing violently.
With a snap, Zhu Dan collapsed to the ground.
"Ah, Mom..."
Wang Ying and Wang Yue's expressions changed dramatically.
Yang Tian glanced and said, "I just mentioned she didn't look well, and she refused to believe! If I'm correct, her heart is sick, and it's acting up now."
"What?"
Upon hearing Yang Tian's words, everyone's expressions changed dramatically...
