Chapter 66: The Cycle of Heaven’s Way

Under the hopeful gazes of Liu Yifeng, Liu Yijun, and Bai Zhong, the person in the corner slowly crawled out. He staggered to his feet on one leg and stared grimly at the three.

“Zhang Xing!” Liu Yijun exclaimed in surprise.

The person in the corner laughed strangely, his broken leg still bleeding. “It’s me, Liu Yijun. I never thought you would have a day like this. Haha, hehe, hehe.”

Zhang Xing seemed insane. His laughter was extremely weird, sometimes sounding like a boy, sometimes like a girl. He laughed like a madman, frightening Liu Yijun so much that he shivered all over. Liu Yijun could not help but shout, “Zhang Xing, don’t be like this. I can apologize for what happened before. As long as you make a call to save the three of us, I can give you anything you want.”

“That’s right. Our Liu Clan is powerful and wealthy. If you save us, we can give you any life you want. Riches and honor, beautiful women, immense power,” Liu Yifeng also said quickly.

Bai Zhong nodded. “Brother Zhang, for you, it’s just a small effort. Please save our lives.”

“Save you! You actually want me to save you? Hahaha… What do you think you are? You still want me to save you? Save your mother! I came out to kill you, and you want me to save you.” Zhang Xing laughed, his face full of ferocity. “Liu Yijun, you asked me what I want. There is only one thing I want, and that is my sister. Can you give her back to me? My sister suffered so badly because of you. She lost her body. You raped her, and that was not enough. You even brought her to this small basement and tortured her to death. You even made me, her brother, watch the video of her being tortured. Liu Yijun, you are not human. You are a beast.”

As he spoke, Zhang Xing pounced madly on Liu Yijun. He picked up a wooden stick nearby and started beating Liu Yijun. “I will definitely kill you today. My sister was killed by you. My cultivation talent was ruined by you. My leg is crippled. My life is meaningless now, so you will die with me, along with your brother and cousin. Haha. I never thought you would have a day like this. Haha, I actually got my revenge.”

Tears streamed down Zhang Xing’s face as he slowly beat Liu Yijun with the stick, turning him into a pulp. Liu Yijun could not help but scream in pain. “Don’t do this, Zhang Xing. I know I was wrong. I will compensate you. If you want money, I will give you money. If you want power, I will give you power. Just let me go. I will never dare to do it again.”

“No, I cannot kill you so easily. I will kill your brother Liu Yifeng and your cousin Bai Zhong first. I will make you watch how they die, and then I will kill you.” Zhang Xing suddenly stopped beating Liu Yijun and walked toward Liu Yifeng. “I heard you have a very good relationship with your brother. Then I will slowly kill your brother and see if you go crazy.”

“Don’t do this. We can pay for your treatment, get you a prosthetic leg, give you a company, and make you a rich man.” Seeing that Zhang Xing wanted to kill him, Liu Yifeng felt a chill all over his body. He begged bitterly. He wanted to escape, but his body was weak and he could not move at all. How could he escape?

Liu Yijun also said quickly, “Don’t kill my brother, please. I know I was wrong. I am sorry. Just let us go this once.”

“Does sorry help?” Zhang Xing sneered and hit Liu Yifeng with the stick. “Liu Yijun, Liu Yifeng, tremble, cry, and scream. Thank you for not killing me, and thank that Jiang Xincheng. You gave me the chance to take revenge. Liu Yijun, are you very regretful now? Regretful for bullying my sister, regretful for not killing me but throwing me here to torture me slowly? Hahaha, then you can die with your eyes wide open.”

As he spoke, Zhang Xing raised the stick and slowly beat Liu Yifeng’s body into a pulp. In the basement, sharp screams were heard everywhere. Liu Yijun, Liu Yifeng, and Bai Zhong felt unprecedented despair…

As time passed, in the last few hours of their lives, Liu Yijun, Liu Yifeng, and Bai Zhong suffered the most painful torment of their lives and died in despair. As for Zhang Xing, the unexpected avenger, he rushed out of the apartment with a bitter laugh. Limping on one leg, he sang and danced in front of the apartment. Then he set the apartment on fire. When the police from the Department of Public Security arrived, he also rushed into the fire and was burned to death.

When the police found Liu Yijun, Liu Yifeng, and Bai Zhong, the three had turned into black charcoal. It was impossible to tell who killed them, but obviously, Zhang Xing, who had a grudge against the three, was the most likely suspect.

Besides the bodies of Liu Yijun, Liu Yifeng, and Bai Zhong, the police also found dozens of other bodies in the basement. They were all enemies of Liu Yijun and Liu Yifeng, or beautiful girls. As for Zhang Xing’s story, it was also investigated. Besides saying that he deserved it, the police from the Department of Public Security did not know what else to say.

This case was quickly classified as a revenge killing, and the killer was already dead.

The Liu Clan soon sent people over. During the investigation, they were naturally influenced by the Department of Public Security and thought that Zhang Xing was the one who planned this. They did not immediately trace it back to Jiang Xincheng.

Although Liu Shengnan was also killed by Jiang Xincheng, her passing through Tianhai City was purely accidental. Many people in the Liu Clan did not know about it, and the experts from the Liu Clan who came to investigate this matter did not know either, so Liu Shengnan was temporarily overlooked.

The deaths of three talented young members of the clan shocked the entire Liu Clan. The Liu Clan focused all their attention on this matter but were misled by Zhang Xing. For a while, no one paid attention to Jiang Xincheng, giving him plenty of time to improve his strength.

By the time the Liu Clan traced it back to Jiang Xincheng, he would give them a big surprise. At this moment, Jiang Xincheng was still immersed in his cultivation. The freshman year-end martial arts exam was getting closer and closer.

With Jiang Xincheng’s current strength, he might still have some advantage among the freshmen. It should not be difficult for him to enter the top ten. But if he wanted to challenge higher levels, fully display his sharpness, and attract outside attention, especially the attention of the Flourishing Tang Empire, his current strength was a bit lacking.

So in this last period of time, Jiang Xincheng’s strength still needed to improve a lot. In his previous life, Jiang Xincheng was an Alchemy Master. The method he chose to improve his strength was naturally related to alchemy.

Pear Essence Pill would be the next pill that Jiang Xincheng refined. It was a second-grade high-level Spiritual Elixir with extremely strong effects.
