Chapter 130: The Fallen Family (Part 2)

Although he was injured, Shangguan Long's speed was still very fast; after all, his shoulder was injured, but his legs were completely unharmed.

But when he rushed beneath the giant tree, he felt a wave of unease. He discovered that the mechanism on the tree had been destroyed. Heart jolting, he reached his hand into the hollowed-out trunk, but he couldn't feel the array eye pestle.

When he took a palm strike from Zhou Lang earlier, he knew he was no match for him. Moreover, the cultivation of Xiao Xi, who was backing Zhou Lang up, seemed even more profound—he couldn't even see through her. His only hope was to get the array eye pestle, activate the Mountain-Protecting Array, and attack Zhou Lang and Xiao Xi. That way, he would still have a chance to turn defeat into victory.

But now, all his hopes were shattered. Although he heard chaotic footsteps coming from below the peak and knew it was his son, Young Master Shangguan Yu, along with the experts under his command and the Guest Elders who relied on the Shangguan Family, the highest-cultivated among them was only a Martial Arts Grandmaster. They were simply no match for Zhou Lang and Xiao Xi. No matter how many of them came, they couldn't save him.

"Are you looking for the array eye pestle?"

Zhou Lang also heard the chaotic footsteps. He gave a look, and almost at the same time as Xiao Xi, he masked his face and sneered, "The array eye pestle has long been in my hands."

"I will kill you!"

Shangguan Long was furious, completely losing his mind. Ignoring the injuries on his body, he rushed toward Zhou Lang.

"Brother Lang, end this quickly!" Xiao Xi reminded Zhou Lang.

Zhou Lang waved his hand in the air, and a three-foot-long broadsword appeared in his grasp. It was none other than the qiankun sword.

As Shangguan Long threw a punch at him, Zhou Lang swung the qiankun sword. Instantly, Sword Qi filled the night sky, and the violent energy slashed toward Shangguan Long's arm.

Shangguan Long was shocked. He had never expected Zhou Lang to have such a Sharp Weapon in his possession. He hurriedly withdrew his hand and retreated. If he hadn't pulled back his move, that hand would have definitely been sliced off.

Shangguan Long knew there was no turning the tide today. He spun around and prepared to flee. At this moment, he had sobered up and realized the situation was extremely disadvantageous to him. If he fought Zhou Lang head-on, there would only be death.

"Where do you think you're going?"

But Xiao Xi blocked Shangguan Long's path.

"Get out of the way!" Shangguan Long charged forward aggressively, sweeping a palm strike toward Xiao Xi, hoping to force her back.

"Hmph!"

Xiao Xi let out a cold snort as a powerful Aura pressed down, and she casually struck out with a palm.

As the two powerful winds clashing, Shangguan Long was sent flying backward like a fallen leaf, crashing right at Zhou Lang's feet.

This time, Shangguan Long's injuries were extremely severe, and he spat out mouthfuls of blood. Just as he struggled to stand up, Zhou Lang grabbed him by the shoulder.

Zhou Lang's True Qi instantly surged into Shangguan Long's body, pouring directly into his Dantian.

Bang!

Shangguan Long's Dantian imploded. Not only were his Meridians completely severed, but his Dantian was also entirely destroyed, and his entire cultivation was lost.

Shangguan Long fell to his knees, his gaze turning vacant. Previously, he was a Cultivator at the Peak Qi Refining Stage, but at this moment, his entire cultivation had dissipated, and he had become an ordinary person. Furthermore, with his Dantian exploded and Meridians destroyed, there was no longer any possibility of him to Cultivate. Although his physical constitution was much stronger than that of an average person, even if he recovered from his injuries, his combat strength would at most be that of an Advanced Martial Artist. It would be absolutely impossible for him to seek revenge, not to mention whether he could even survive today was still an unknown.

"Zhou Lang, how dare you destroy my cultivation! Once my Old Ancestor returns from his travels, your death will be at hand!" The next moment, Shangguan Long glared at Zhou Lang with a venomous look.

"Even your Old Ancestor cannot save you!" Zhou Lang snorted coldly.

"Brother Lang, erase his memory, or kill him!" Xiao Xi reminded him. Shangguan Long was ruined, but they still had some wariness toward the old fossil of the Shangguan Family who hadn't appeared for decades.

Zhou Lang did not kill Shangguan Long. He merely used the Mental Control Technique to erase Shangguan Long's memory.

This time, Shangguan Long's gaze truly became vacant. He had completely forgotten all his memories of this lifetime, becoming a true cripple.

"Shangguan Long has already been crippled by me. I hope unrelated people will not meddle in this muddy water!"

Just as Young Master Shangguan Yu and more than a dozen experts and Guest Elders of the Shangguan Family were about to reach the top of Shangguan Peak, Zhou Lang's booming voice rang out on the mountaintop once again.

The experts and Guest Elders of the Shangguan Family slowed their pace with mixed emotions. They did not know whether it was true or false that Shangguan Long had been crippled. They were waiting—waiting for Shangguan Long to make a sound.

But Shangguan Long remained completely silent.

Thus, the experts and Guest Elders all stopped in their tracks, with only Young Master Shangguan Yu continuing forward.

"You bastards, why aren't you following me?!" Young Master Shangguan Yu noticed that there was no one left by his side, with everyone falling behind, and he immediately began to curse.

"Young Lord, it's better if you go up and take a look first. Perhaps the master has truly met with misfortune!" an expert of the Shangguan Family said with some fear.

"This is the enemy's trick! How can you bastards be so stupid? In Dianxi Province, who else could have a higher cultivation than my father?" Young Master Shangguan Yu turned around and cursed at the Guest Elders behind him.

But just as he turned around, two dark shadows suddenly flew over his head. Before he could understand what was happening, one of the shadows grabbed him by the collar and carried him away.

"The Young Lord has been captured!"

Some of the Guest Elders and experts of the Shangguan Family cried out in alarm, but not a single one dared to give chase. This was because the person who captured Young Master Shangguan Yu leaped over a dozen or even dozens of meters in a single bound. Such cultivation was far beyond their reach; not only could they not catch up, but even if they did, they would probably just be throwing their lives away!

The one who captured Young Master Shangguan Yu was, of course, Zhou Lang, while Xiao Xi took Haneda Michiko and flew down Shangguan Peak. Their speed was incredibly fast, and since they were masked, no one had any idea who they were.

Soon, Young Master Shangguan Yu was taken out of the Shangguan Family compound by Zhou Lang and brought to a car two or three miles away.

Waiting inside the car were none other than Yamamoto Yuki and Muto Yukiko. At this moment, the two female ninjas were also burning with anxiety, only feeling relieved upon seeing Zhou Lang get into the car.

"Zhou Lang, it's you!"

After being forced into the car, Young Master Shangguan Yu cried out in terror once Zhou Lang removed his mask. However, his acupoints had already been tapped by Zhou Lang, leaving him completely unable to move.

"That's right, Young Master Shangguan Yu. You didn't expect this, did you? The four assassins you sent failed to kill me, and now you have fallen into my hands," Zhou Lang said calmly.

"Zhou Lang, if you touch me, my father will kill you!"

Young Master Shangguan Yu said, putting on a brave front. At this moment, this fellow still didn't believe that his father, Shangguan Long, had already been stripped of his martial arts and had his memory erased by Zhou Lang, and he still wanted to use his father to threaten him.

"Your father is already finished. I won't kill you today either; I'll just let you live the rest of your life in a daze." Zhou Lang struck Young Master Shangguan Yu's chest with a palm.

…

A few minutes later, Young Master Shangguan Yu was kicked out of the car by Haneda Michiko.

This miserable fellow, just like his father, had his martial arts crippled and his memory erased by Zhou Lang. In this way, even if that old fossil of the Shangguan Family returned, he wouldn't know that Zhou Lang was the one who did it.

Shangguan Long and Young Master Shangguan Yu were the backbone of the Shangguan Family. Now that this father and son were completely ruined and their memories erased, the fall of the Shangguan Family was entirely foreseeable.

Of course, man proposes, God disposes. Some things are unpredictable. Because Zhou Lang was soft-hearted for a moment and did not kill the father and son, Shangguan Long and Young Master Shangguan Yu, it would still cause a huge trouble in the future.

Of course, that is a story for another time and will not be mentioned for now.
