Chapter 99 Self-Destruction

  "How dare I?" Yan Qi sneered coldly, glanced at Cheng Zihan in front of him, and directly waved his hand, shouting: "Take her away!"

  "Halt!" Han Jingchen, who had been standing by the side all along, finally spoke up and stepped forward, shouting coldly.

  The people under Yan Qi's command stopped what they were doing and looked at him, seemingly waiting for his orders.

  "Lord Han, this matter may be beyond your control. I am handling it impartially. Take him away!" Yan Qi looked at Han Jingchen fearlessly, clearly having someone backing her up, which is why she was no longer afraid of him.

  Han Jingchen narrowed his eyes and looked at Yan Qi, "Are you sure?"

  Yan Qi smiled faintly, "Sorry, I have to take him away today."

  "I'd like to see who can leave this place today." Han Jinchen took a step forward, his aura bursting out and causing all the armed police to shrink by several centimeters.

  Cheng Zihan quickly took advantage of the opportunity to pull Cheng Hai and Li Lan back from their hands, shielding them behind her, and coldly stared at Yan Qi.

  Yan Qi raised an eyebrow and looked at Han Jingchen, "Fourth Master Han, are you sure you want to oppose us?"

  Han Jinchen didn't say a word, he just stood in front of Cheng Zihan, using his actions to show his attitude.

  Yan Qi smiled and nodded, "Alright, since you want to protect them, then I have no choice but to invite someone who can cure you."

  Han Jingchen frowned and looked at Yan Qi.

  "Yan Lao, come out!" Yan Qi shouted towards his back.

  A surging momentum seemed to emanate from him, and the terrifying pressure made Cheng Zihans heart tremble with fear.

  Even Han Jingchen, who was usually as calm and unshakeable as Mount Tai, had a change in his expression.

  I didn't expect even the old monster from the Yan family would show up here.

  Han Jingchen's gaze fell on Yan Qi's back.

  Cheng Zihan's gaze also followed Han Jincheng's gaze towards Yan Qi's back.

  There, a short and slender old man walked slowly, with each step he took, the air around him seemed to solidify, and twisted space could be seen around him.

  The old man looked very ordinary, just like a typical 70 or 80-year-old elderly man, wearing a black long gown and black cloth shoes on his feet, with his hands clasped behind his back, his eyes slightly narrowed, seeming to stroll leisurely, yet exuding an intimidating aura that made one's heart skip a beat.

  Cheng Zihan's face gradually became solemn, and she carefully protected Cheng Hai and Li Lan behind her.

  Han Jingchen's face was quite unsightly, he stood at the very front, so he bore the greatest pressure. Even with his strength, under the opponent's overwhelming pressure, he also had a surge of blood and energy.

  As expected, the old monster of the Yan family is indeed very powerful.

  Why did the old monster of the Yan family suddenly come out this time? Was it really just for a small planting garden under Cheng Zihans name?

  "I didn't expect you to be a junior from the Han family, your talent is indeed very strong and your strength isn't bad either. But it's also because you have the opportunity to continue developing! Get out of the way immediately, otherwise, even if you are the most favored disciple of Old Man Han, I won't show any mercy!" The old demon from the Yan family suddenly appeared in front of Yan Qi.

  This should be the legendary teleportation. Just now, Cheng Zihan and others were still looking at him more than 100 meters away, but in just a blink of an eye, he had already arrived in front of them.

  "Cut the crap! If you want to fight, then let's fight!" Han Jinchen sneered with disdain, taking a step forward.

  Cheng Zihan had a faint sense of unease in her heart.

  The old man opposite was very powerful, more so than anyone she had ever seen. This power was the kind that made her unable to muster up even the courage to resist, a presence that seemed as if he could kill everyone in front of him with just a slight movement of his finger.

  It seems that Yan's family has really gone all out this time. In order to get the secret in her hands, they even showed their last trump card.

  Han Yi pulled Cheng Zihuan and said in a low voice, "Zihuan, if there's any movement later, you must take your parents away immediately!"

  Cheng Zihan shook her head firmly, "No! At this time, how could I possibly leave you behind?"

  Han Yi knew it was pointless to say anything, as Cheng Zihan had made up her mind and no one could change it.

  "Hmph, obstinately refusing to accept advice!" Old Yan let out a cold snort, took a step forward and swung his palm at Han Junchen.

  Han Jinchen's double palms pushed out and directly clashed with Old Yan's palm.

  The duel between the two was not earth-shattering, but the terrifying power of those two palms seemed to have been dissolved by something. At the point where their powers clashed, space itself became distorted and fragmented, and that terrible energy was sucked in.

  Cheng Zihan was shocked in her heart. She had seen it clearly that Han Jincheng was very strong, but he was far from being a match for Old Yan!

  Yan Qi had his arms around him, coldly watching with a gloomy gaze, the corners of his mouth raised, and when he saw Cheng Zihans shocked expression, he faintly hooked up the corners of his lips, revealing a ruthless smile.

  "That's enough! Stop it! Stop it at once! Yan Qi, I'll give you whatever you want!" Just as Han Jincheng was about to collapse from the pressure, if Yan Lao didn't withdraw his power in time, Han Jincheng would likely suffer serious injury. Cheng Zihan couldn't hesitate any longer and hastily shouted at Yan Qi.

  Yan Qi smiled contentedly and called out to Yan Lao, "Yan Lao, it's done."

  Yan Lao's heart was still concerned about Han Lao Tou, among the four major families, Han Jia Lao Tou's strength was the strongest, and Han Jing Chen was his most beloved descendant. If something unexpected happened to Han Jing Chen in his hands, when Han Lao Tou got angry, even he would be somewhat overwhelmed.

  So as soon as Yan Qi's voice fell, Old Yan quickly withdrew his hand and retreated several steps.

  Han Jingchen also withdrew his palms, and a surge of blood rushed to his chest. With a loud "whoosh", he spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood.

  Han Yi immediately went over to support him, "Uncle, are you okay?"

  Han Jingchen waved his hand, but his eyes remained fixed on Old Yan opposite him. "I'm fine."

  "Uncle Han, I'm sorry, you're hurt, please sit down quickly." Cheng Zihan also rushed forward and took a look at Han Jingchen. On the surface, nothing seemed to be wrong, but Cheng Zihan felt that Han Jingchen's breath was disordered, guessing that he had suffered a severe internal injury.

  "Zi Han, I'm fine." Han Jin Chen couldn't bear to see Cheng Zi Han's guilty look, so he quickly forced a smile to comfort her.

  Cheng Zihan shook her head, then stood up and stood in front of everyone. "Speak up, you've done so many things, isn't it just to get something from me? What do you want?"

  Yan Qi's mouth curved into a faint smile as she walked up to Cheng Zihan, reaching out to lift her chin. "Why didn't you do this earlier? You wouldn't have had so many people suffer for your sake."

  Cheng Zihan coldly smiled and stretched out her hand to slap away Yan Qi's hand, "Don't talk nonsense, if you have something to say then spit it out!"

  Yan Qi looked at his hands with some disappointment, still keeping that sly smile on his face. "What I want is very simple. I want 80% of the shares in your plantation and breeding grounds, as well as the secret to cultivating those flower seedlings."

  Cheng Zihan looked up and glanced at Yan Qi, what he wanted was almost the same as she had guessed, but she didn't expect him to be so greedy, not only wanting his own secrets, but also wanting to divide the plantation and breeding grounds. Fortunately, he didn't want shares in Yu Jingtai.

  "Alright, the plantation and farm are yours. As for that secret, it's not something that can be explained in just a few words, but I'll give you everything you want." Cheng Zihan said with a mocking gaze at Yan Qi.

  Yan Qi frowned, looked at Cheng Zihan and shook his head, "No, I don't trust you."

  "Don't you trust me? Hehe, you really do look up to me, I'm not like you, nor am I as ruthless as you. My parents and family are all here, I couldn't possibly abandon them." Cheng Zihan also furrowed her brow at Yan Qi. Yan Qi's cautiousness exceeded her expectations.

  Yan Qi shook his head, "You're too cunning, I don't want to become the second Yan Han. Alright, I'll give you three days to handle the aftermath, and as for your parents, they can come back with me first. When you've handled everything, you can come pick them up."

  Cheng Zihan's face changed upon hearing the words, but she didn't erupt. She took a deep breath and nodded, "Alright, but if they lose even one hair, I won't let you off! You'd better believe that even if I die, I won't make things easy for you!"

  Yan Qi shrugged indifferently, which was tantamount to agreeing.

  "Dad and Mom, take care of yourselves." Cheng Zihan went over to hug Cheng Hai and Li Lan, said goodbye, and then watched as they were taken away by Yan Qi's people.

  Watching their backs, Cheng Zihan gritted her teeth.

  Han Jingchen's complexion had improved a lot after adjusting his breath, but his breathing was getting more and more urgent.

  "Cough, cough." A sudden fit of violent coughing, Han Jingchen coughed up a large mouthful of blood, and faintly visible in the blood were some black blood clots, apparently his internal organs had been injured.

  Cheng Zihan hastened to squat down and helped him up, and together with Han Yi, they supported him as he walked towards the plantation.

  The plantation was still the same as when she left, without much change, but the guards at the entrance were no longer her employees, but had been replaced by armed police officers under Yan Qi's command.

  Seeing Cheng Zihan and others, they did not stop them, but let them in directly. It is estimated that they had already received the news early on.

  Cheng Zihan smiled faintly and supported Han Jincheng as they walked in together.

  No staff were seen in the plantation because no one was taking care of it. As a result, many weeds grew in the plantation, but the seedlings and saplings still looked good and did not suffer too much damage.

  It seems that Yan Qi is determined to take this place for herself, so she hasn't destroyed too many of the flowers and saplings.

  Every blade of grass and every tree here has been infused with Cheng Zihan's hard work, now it's time to hand it over to others, and naturally, she feels reluctant and unwilling.

  But Yan Qi wanted it so easily, and even if she got it, she was afraid that it would be difficult to digest.

  Cheng Zihan smiled coldly and immediately began drafting a transfer contract.

  She didn't intend to leave any shares of the plantation and farm, so she directly transferred the plantation and farm to Yan Qi, under her name.

  The contract seems fine in every way, but there's a problem that only Cheng Zihang herself knows.

  Cheng Zihan smiled coldly with the white paper in his hand.

  The contract is made in triplicate, one copy for Cheng Ziheng, one copy for Yan Qi, and the third copy is filed with the lawyer's office.

  Cheng Zihuan took advantage of the night and secretly transferred all the precious tree saplings and flower seedlings from the nursery.

  The storage ring unexpectedly expanded during the last contract with Blood Dragon, and in addition to dead objects, some living things can also be put in. However, they must be taken out within seven days, otherwise the plants will die due to lack of air inside the space.

  Unfortunately, the Tree Spirit Space cannot be entered now, otherwise Cheng Ziheng would not have to bother with these problems.

  After moving all the seedlings and flower seedlings away, Cheng Zihang went to the breeding farm side to take a look. There was nothing valuable there, and there was nothing to bring back. It's just that after spending so much thought on this place, it's only natural to come back and take a look before leaving.

  In the darkness of night, Cheng Zihans small body looked particularly desolate.

  The sky has only one crescent moon and a few twinkling stars, with dim light all around.

  Cheng Zihan sighed, patted a big tree in the breeding ground, and then turned around to head back to the plantation garden.

  "Have you decided?" Meng Chong's voice came suddenly and was very fleeting, as if it had been transmitted from another space.

  Cheng Zihan was taken aback and looked towards the dark space with some surprise, "Mang Cang?"

  "En." The voice floated over again.

  "When can you come back?" Hearing a familiar voice, Cheng Zihan inexplicably let out a sigh of relief.

  "Two days later." Meng Cang replied faintly, "Zi Han, I don't agree with you taking such a risk. Although the possibility of success is greater than failure, there's still a danger to your life."

  "Desperate, I have no other choice, I can only fight to the end." Cheng Zihan smiled and said lightly.

  He let out a helpless sigh, and the sound of that sigh passed through layers of space to reach Cheng Zihans ears.

  Cheng Zihan regained her composure and looked towards the empty space, asking faintly: "By the way, how is Qin Kexiu's situation now?"

  "It's not good, he was hurt by that strange rain and the situation is very dangerous. However, in a few more days, there will be a rare astronomical phenomenon of seven stars aligning, at which time he may be able to escape death and rebirth. Don't worry about him. But as for you, these two days you must not act rashly, wait until I return." Meng Cang's tone was always laced with worry, what he feared most was that Cheng Ziheng would not hold on until his return and take action first, which would likely lead to an accident, something no one wanted to see happen.

  "Really?" This was probably the best news for Cheng Zihan in this period of time.

  Qin Kexiu is fine and may even have his own body to reincarnate, this news is simply the best news for Cheng Zihuan.

  She has even more confidence in her plan now!

  Mang Cang couldn't rush back yet, only a thread of consciousness passed through space to communicate with Cheng Zihuan. After the two people chatted for a while, Mang Cang left first.

  Cheng Zihan returned to the plantation and had a good sleep.

  There are two days left in the three-day deadline.

  Early in the morning, Cheng Zihan went to see Han Jingchen first. His injury was very serious, and after a night of rest, it seemed to have improved by 70-80%. Listening to his breathing and heartbeat, they were all very stable, and it's estimated that there would be no danger to his life.

  Cheng Zihan let out a sigh of relief.

  Han Jinchen, sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed to cultivate his spirit, slowly opened his eyes and saw Cheng Zihuan. He smiled weakly, this was the first time in his life that he had been so weak, and it was in front of his own daughter.

  "Uncle Han, how are you feeling now?" Seeing that Han Jingchen was awake, Cheng Zihan, who had originally wanted to leave and let him rest well, walked over and sat down beside his bed.

  "It's okay, I'm not that weak." Han Jinchen smiled and patted Cheng Zihans head, then asked: "Are you really going to give up everything you've worked hard for and start all over again?"

  Cheng Zihan nodded, "En, although the plantation and breeding farm are gone, I still have the right to use half of the land in Wangcheng, and there's also the building complex at Yu Jingtai. But in the future, I might not be able to take care of these things myself, so I hope you can help me keep an eye on them."

  Han Jingchen furrowed his brow, seemingly having picked up on a different tone from Cheng Zihan's words. He looked at Cheng Zihan and asked seriously, "Zihan, be honest with me, what do you really want to do?"

  Cheng Zihan smiled, "Uncle Han, I didn't think of doing anything. I'm just tired and want to focus on studying properly, I don't want to bother with these things anymore. Previously, Qin Kexiu helped me take care of everything, but now he's in trouble too. I'm still young and can't handle it alone, so I wanted to ask for your help. My parents have worked hard their whole lives, and now they're being implicated because of me and are suffering so much. I feel really unfilial, for their sake, I must step down. What I have now is already a lot, the money can be spent until old age and still won't run out, I should be content."

  Cheng Zihan's words were flawless, seemingly without any loopholes.

  But what kind of person is Han Jingchen? He's a seasoned and astute monster, how could he possibly not see the discontent in Cheng Zihans eyes.

  However, he didn't expose her. Cheng Zihan's personality is actually similar to Shen Yihan in some ways, but she is still too young and lacks experience, so she needs to be tempered well. Hopefully, this time's event can make her truly mature.

  The three days passed quickly, and Cheng Zihan arranged all the prepared documents and took them with Han Jincheng and Han Yi to the Wangcheng Hotel to find Yan Qi.

  Yan Qi and Yan Lao lived in the Presidential Suite of the Wang Cheng Hotel, with several bodyguards standing guard outside the door, still holding guns.

  As soon as they saw Cheng Zihan and his group approaching, those people became alert and looked towards Cheng Zihan.

  "I've come looking for your young master." Cheng Zihan stood at the door and said coldly.

  "Wait a minute, I'll go ask." The bodyguard at the door glanced at Cheng Zihang with a hint of disdain and said in a bad tone before opening the door to ask for instructions.

  In a moment, the bodyguard came out and said, "It's Miss Cheng. Please come in, but these two, please wait at the door."

  The bodyguard's words sounded polite, but his tone was anything but polite.

  Han Jingchen furrowed his brow, about to lose his temper, but Cheng Zihan stopped him and shook his head, signaling him to calm down.

  Han Jingchen could only stand guard anxiously outside the door with Han Yi.

  Cheng Zihan took a step forward, but the bodyguard blocked her again. "Sorry, Miss Cheng, we need to do some necessary checks on you. If you bring any lethal weapons in and hurt our master or old master, it won't be good."

  Cheng Zihan smiled sarcastically and didn't say a word.

  How could she not see that the other party was intentionally making things difficult for her?

  But for now, Cheng Hai and Li Lan are still in their hands, so this is not the time to fall out with them, so they can only hold back for now.

  The bodyguard didn't go too far, just symbolically searched Cheng Zihang's body and then let her in.

  Cheng Zihan pushed the door open and went in. Inside, Yan Qi was wearing a bathrobe, lazily reclining on the sofa, with the TV on, playing the news.

  Seeing Cheng Zihan come in, Yan Qi raised his devilish peach blossom eyes and looked at Cheng Zihan, "Arrived?"

  Cheng Zihan didn't bother to answer and just walked past him, giving him a cold look. "Where are my parents? I want to see them now!"

  Yan Qi smiled and clapped her hands. From a room in the suite, two bodyguards escorted out Cheng Hai and Li Lan.

  Cheng Hai and Li Lan looked at each other, seemingly in good spirits, apparently they hadn't been mistreated. Cheng Zihang also felt relieved.

  No wonder Han Jinchen and Han Yi have been searching the entire Wang City for the past two days, but couldn't find Cheng Hai. It turns out that Yan Qi hid them here.

  "Zi Han." Cheng Hai saw Cheng Zi Han and called out.

  "Dad and Mom, are you okay?" Cheng Zihan stood up directly and went over to pull up Cheng Hai's hand.

  Cheng Hai shook his head, "En, we're fine, are you okay?"

  Cheng Zihan also shook her head, "I'm fine, as long as you're all fine."

  Yan Qi couldn't bear this scene, furrowed his brow and interrupted them, "Alright, if you want to perform a family reunion act, let's do it after our transaction is over."

  "Don't worry, you won't be left out." Cheng Zihan smiled coldly, and after confirming that her parents were fine, she also felt at ease.

  "Now I'm here, let them go." With a faint glance at Yan Qi, Cheng Zihan began to set conditions.

  Yan Qi shrugged and said, "Alright, let's go."

  Anyway, Cheng Zihan is here, and Yan Qi is no longer afraid that she will regret it. As long as Cheng Hai and Li Lan are still in Wangcheng, he doesn't worry at all that Cheng Zihan will regret it.

  In addition, apart from Cheng Hai and Li Lan, he also had a yellow card in his hand, so he wasn't worried that Cheng Ziheng would play any tricks.

  Cheng Hai and Li Lan looked at Cheng Zihan worriedly before leaving the hotel room under the escort of two bodyguards.

  Cheng Zihan had already instructed Han Jincheng and Han Yi that as soon as Cheng Hai and Li Lan left, they would immediately send them away. She had already arranged for their immigration procedures and even booked their plane tickets. As long as they safely left the Wangcheng Hotel, they would be sent to the airport to take a flight to Miami on the same day, leaving China.

  Watching Cheng Hai and Li Lan leave safely, Cheng Zihan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had also made arrangements for Lai Ying and Cheng Shan. She knew that Cheng Hai would definitely be worried about Lai Ying, and Lai Ying would inevitably be concerned about her own young son. To be on the safe side, Cheng Zihan made the most thorough preparations.

  But after returning from southern Henan, Cheng Zihan also discovered that Cheng Zixi was gone.

  It seems that Yan Qi is really clever. In order to prevent her from playing tricks behind his back, he has arrested Cheng Zi Xi and wants to use this to control Cheng Zi Han.

  "Your parents have safely left, can we sign the contract now?" Yan Qi looked at Cheng Zihan coldly, with a tone of disdain.

  What people fear most is having something on their minds. Once someone has something on their mind, they will be restricted by others everywhere. Cheng Zihang is this kind of person.

  She has too many people to care about, so he has the opportunity to coerce her and snatch away things that originally belonged to her.

  If Cheng Zihan's heart is ruthless enough, and she doesn't care about anyone's life or death, then she would be invincible. Even if Yan Qi has the greatest ability, he would have no way to deal with her.

  "Where's my sister?" Cheng Zihan walked over to Yan Qi's side and sat down, coldly staring at him as she questioned.

  "After the contract is signed, she will naturally return to your side." Yan Qi smiled with a hint of playfulness.

  "This is the contract, take a look. I've already signed it. If you don't see any problems with it, just sign it." Cheng Zihan directly took out the document he had been carrying on him and handed it to Yan Qi.

  Yan Qi took it over, opened the cowhide envelope, pulled out the documents inside, and carefully looked at the contents. When he saw that Cheng Zihan had actually given him the entire plantation, he was taken aback, looking at Cheng Zihan with some confusion, "Are you sure you want to give me the plantation and breeding grounds?"

  "I don't want you to come looking for me again, and I don't like having so much trouble, so I'll just give it to you. Isn't that better? You can thoroughly own the plantation now. As for the secret of the plantation, it's inside the plantation. After the greenhouse was built, I discovered that any plant, as long as it's sown, doesn't need a few days to grow out, and it grows several dozen times faster than usual. As for what the reason is, I don't know either. Or you can take some soil to test it." Cheng Zihan said cleanly and neatly. The secret of the Tian Can was naturally not something she would tell Yan Qi about. Before coming, she had already poured enough Tian Can spirit liquid into the soil of the greenhouse, so she estimated that the function of accelerating plant growth in the greenhouse could still be used for one or two months. This time was enough for her and her family to leave the country and go abroad. It was also enough for Cheng Zihan to arrange everything."

  Even if Yan Qi really took the soil for testing, the result would only be that the activity in the soil is much higher than usual, and nothing else can be detected.

  "You're very clever, I like you." Yan Qi smiled with satisfaction, curling up the corners of his lips, and quickly signed his name on the contract.

  Cheng Zihan looked at those two majestic characters and smiled more radiantly than Yan Qi.

  Yan Qi felt a little uneasy and glanced at Cheng Zihan.

  "Don't look at me with that kind of eyes, I don't like you at all. It's better if we never see each other again in this lifetime." Cheng Zihan rolled her eyes and said to Yan Qi with a bad tone.

  Yan Qi looked at Cheng Zihan with a puzzled expression, still not quite understanding why Cheng Zihan was so happy. Everything she had worked hard to achieve had been taken away from her, so how could she be so happy?

  Yan Qi's gaze swept over the contract in his hand, but there was no problem with the content of the contract.

  He took the contract and stood up, entering a room in the back, seemingly to go ask Old Yan for instructions.

  Cheng Zihan quietly looked at the room, perked up her ears, wanting to eavesdrop on the conversation inside.

  Unfortunately, Cheng Zihan couldn't hear anything at all.

  It wasn't until about ten minutes later that Yan Qi finally walked out of the room, but his face looked a bit unsightly.

  He gave Cheng Zihan a cold look, gritted his teeth and cursed: "You little slut! How dare you deceive me? Quickly tell me, what is the secret in your hands that can make plants grow faster? Don't tell me it's a soil problem again!"

  Cheng Zihan was startled in her heart, not knowing where she had revealed a flaw. It seemed that Yan Lao must have seen something. On the surface, however, she remained calm and composed, looking at Yan Qi without surprise or confusion, "I don't know what you're talking about."

  "Don't you know? Cheng Zihan, you'd better not test my patience! Otherwise, once you go out, you'll see your sister's corpse right away!" Yan Qi took three steps forward and grabbed Cheng Zihan's chin, scolding her viciously.

  Cheng Zihan was shocked by the words, she knew that Yan Qi was not joking, this man was cold-blooded enough, he could watch Yan freeze to death without lending a helping hand, his heart was harder than stone.

  Chengzi Creek mustn't have anything happen!

  Cheng Zihan took a deep breath and looked at Yan Qi, "Alright, I'll tell you."

  Yan Qi finally let go of Cheng Zihan and gritted her teeth, scolding "You'd better not play any tricks, or else, humph!"

  Cheng Zihan nodded, "But this secret is of great importance. Let the old man inside come out, I'll only tell him one person!"

  Yan Qi furrowed his brow and looked at Cheng Zihan, but only smiled coldly, "Cheng Zihan, are you thinking of playing tricks again?"

  "You think you're a worthy opponent? You overestimate yourself, Yan Qi. I'd rather kill the old man inside than you, it's much more challenging. Do you think I'm stupid? But this secret, I can only tell him." Cheng Zihan smiled coldly, raised her chin, with an "I don't care if you believe me or not" attitude.

  Yan Qi furrowed his brow as he looked at Cheng Zihan, hesitated for a moment, then turned around and entered the back room to ask for Yan Lao's opinion.

  Before long, Yan Qi came out again and said faintly to Cheng Zihan, "You go in."

  Cheng Zihan curled her lips in a cold smile, glanced at Yan Qi, and then slowly walked in.

  The curtains in the room were all pulled down, and the light was somewhat dim. At this time, Yan Lao sat cross-legged on the bed with his eyes tightly closed.

  There was no fluctuation of energy on his body, and he looked just like an ordinary old man. Cheng Ziheng even suspected that if he suddenly launched a sneak attack, whether he could kill him with one blow.

  Just as Cheng Zihan was hesitating, Yan Lao suddenly opened his eyes, and a substantial beam of light shot out from his eyes, hitting the ground in front of Cheng Zihan. A huge black hole immediately appeared there, and Cheng Zihan could even see the situation in the room below through that hole.

  She patted her chest, looking frightened, and only then did she make her way around the black hole to stand before Yan Lao's bed, gazing down at the old man lying on it.

  "Go ahead, I know you have something to rely on, but in my eyes, those things don't count for anything." Yan Lao's eyes were calm and tranquil, simply looking at Cheng Zihuan with a flat expression. But Cheng Zihuan had the illusion that he was being seen through, as if everything about him was laid bare in front of Yan Lao.

  She smiled calmly and glanced at Yan Lao, "This secret, I'm afraid you'll have to go down there to see it."

  Cheng Zihan spoke, his figure suddenly and quickly flashed past, pouncing on Yan Lao. The five steel needles in his hand shone with a silver light, stabbing towards Yan Lao's face.

  "Hmph! You dare to show off your petty skills in front of me?" Yan Lao let out a cold snort, and the withered hand that looked like a dry tree branch on his thigh slowly rose. The movement seemed extremely slow, but in the blink of an eye, it came into contact with the five steel needles in Cheng Zihans hand.

  "Boom——" Cheng Zihan only felt a terrible force, along the five steel needles, transmitted to her body, shaking her whole person flying backward, and those five extremely hard steel needles also shattered into powder in an instant.

  Cheng Zihan let out a loud cry as he spat out a big mouthful of blood. This Yan Lao was indeed incredibly powerful, no wonder even Han Junchen wasn't his match.

  Cheng Zihan got up from the ground, wiped away the bloodstains at the corner of her mouth, and mobilized all her strength. Her originally petite body seemed to have grown much taller in that instant, and her clothes puffed out due to the sudden surge of energy. Small whirlpools of energy appeared around her.

  Yan Lao furrowed his brow, looking at Cheng Zihuan in front of him. He actually had some admiration for Cheng Zihuan, even though he knew the enemy was strong, but still had to fight a desperate battle.

  Yan Qi heard the noise inside and had already started knocking on the door. The worried voice also came through the door: "Old Yan, are you okay? Do you need us to come in and help?"

  The lonely and proud Yan Lao coldly hummed a sound, "All of you, don't come in! No matter what happens inside, none of you are to interfere!"

  Yan Lao shouted at the door and then shifted his gaze back to Cheng Zihans body, "Little girl, if you were my descendant, I would be delighted to have such a descendant. Unfortunately, you are not, so today you will likely be buried here. Before you die, I can grant you one condition, speak up."

  Cheng Zihan looked at Old Yan with a calm gaze, thought for a moment, and then slowly said: "If I unfortunately die at your hands, I hope you can keep my sister safe, this is my only request."

  "Good." Thinking that Cheng Zihan was about to die at his own hands, Yan Lao also felt a pang of regret in his heart, so he naturally agreed to her small request before she died.

  As they spoke, Cheng Zihan had already finished gathering energy and the whole thing had risen by a lot. The height difference between him and Old Yan was now negligible.

  She coldly stared at Yan Lao, her slightly pale lips opening lightly, "I, Cheng Zihuan, declare war on you today. Do you dare to accept the challenge?"

  Yan Lao couldn't help but laugh at this, as this courtesy was only used by masters of their generation when exchanging blows, and it also expressed respect for his opponent.

  Cheng Zihan's actions stirred up some memories for him, and he nodded slightly, "Alright, I accept your challenge."

  Having obtained Yan Lao's consent, Cheng Zihans figure suddenly flashed violently, and three black shadows rushed towards Yan Lao from three different directions.

  The old swallow's eyes gleamed as he gazed at the three black shadows, quickly judging where the main body was. He slowly raised one hand and gently patted the left shadow.

  Cheng Zihan's face was cold and stern, looking at the hand that had patted her own, she closed her eyes, gathered her strength, and on her forehead, a blood-red demonic pupil slowly appeared, enveloping her entire person within it.

  "Evil Eye Annihilation!" Cheng Zihan's lips opened and closed, his cold voice slowly spreading out.

  When he saw those demonic eyes, the unguarded Yan Lao also appeared to be dazed for a moment. When he came to his senses, Cheng Zihans attack had already fallen heavily on him. He could only raise his hand to block it, and the massive energy shook him backward three steps before shedding the enormous force that was applied to his body.

  But before he could react, Cheng Zihan's attack arrived again. Those seemingly slender and boneless small hands fluttered over, but Yan Lao could feel the terrifying energy contained within. Cheng Zihan had condensed all his body's energy into a single point, going all out against him.

  Yan Lao didn't dare to be careless and underestimate the enemy, having just barely resisted Cheng Zihan's demonic gaze that destroyed the sky, he also suffered a slight injury. Although this injury had no effect on him, it was still his first time being injured in so many years.

  He concentrated his energy and focused all his strength on his palm, directly slapping it out and colliding with Cheng Zihans palm.

  BOOM! A terrifying energy storm burst forth from the palms of the two people as they touched, instantly leveling the entire Wangcheng Hotel. In mid-air, a small figure and an emaciated old man could be seen with their palms touching, their clothes somewhat damaged. The center of the energy storm was precisely where their palms were in contact.

  Han Jingchen and Han Yi saw off Cheng Hai and Li Lan, and were worried about the safety of Cheng Zihang, so they had been guarding outside the Wangcheng Hotel.

  Yan Qi, who crawled out of the rubble, was in a more pitiful state than anyone else. The other guests inside the Wangcheng Hotel were not as lucky and had been buried deep under the rubble.

  After being slapped by Cheng Zihan, Yan Lao finally realized he had been deceived!

  Cheng Zihan seemed to have concentrated all her energy in the palm of her hand, but that was not the case. She had actually used a distracting technique. What she really wanted to do was not to fight herself, but to lure herself into making a move and counter her own palm!

  Cheng Zihan's palm had already been coated with a layer of sticky liquid, the stickiness was astonishing. Only after he struck out with his palm did he discover that his palm and Cheng Zihan's palm were stuck together.

  It was also at this time that he finally understood what Cheng Zihan really wanted to do!

  She just wants to die with herself in her arms! Because what Cheng Zihang really wants to do is not something else, but to explode herself!

  Unfortunately, Yan Lao reacted when it was too late!

  With Cheng Zihan as the center, a terrible energy storm suddenly swept out, and those who were most severely affected were naturally Yan Lao around Cheng Zihan!

  "Cheng Zihan!" The people below, Han Jincheng and Han Yi, also saw it. When they saw Cheng Zihan's smiling face as she detonated her own body, they let out a hoarse and ear-piercing roar, but in the end, they could only watch as the girl turned into dust under the sunlight.

  At that moment, the whole world became extremely quiet, and everyone's gaze fell on that beautiful red cloud floating in mid-air.

  Digression

  Today Kaven wrote so hard, finally finished writing 10,000 words after persevering until now.

  Recently, I think my arm has been overused, now my right shoulder hurts so much that I can barely lift it up. Of course, this is not because of typing, mainly because a certain someone's family has an overweight cute baby, so... Ahhh, recently I've also been participating in the brutal word game competition, but to ensure quality, plus being a disabled person and the pioneer of the nudist world, so probably won't be updating early for the next few days.

  This chapter is a major turning point, and tomorrow's content will be very rich!
