Master, this one's childhood is at the lowest.
Due to his fear, the man in white made a few steps back. The boy in front of him is merely at the Eighth Level of Qi Condensation while he is already at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment. How in the world did this boy manage to hurt him?
After his surprise, the man promptly stands and glares at the boy.
"Originally, I wanted to torment you first before killing you but since you're so eager to die. I will gladly finish you off!"
Afterwards, a black weapon appeared on the man's hand, instantly trapping the little boy so that he can't escape.
The little boy did not expect that the man has a magical weapon to trap him. No matter how hard he tried to struggle, he can't free himself!
Suddenly, the little boy felt a sharp pain coming from his Dantian. The pain he is feeling is getting stronger every second as if someone is tearing his whole body apart!
At the same time, the little boy heard an old voice being transmitted from his spiritual sea. "This is bad! This thing is sucking your Qi. If this continues on, you'll die!"
With the old man's words, the little boy froze. On the other hand, the man in white grimly said. "You're only ten years old but you're already so powerful. No wonder Master wanted you dead to even put a reward on your head! Brat, make sure not to incur the wrath of a noble in your next life!"
At that moment, the man went towards the little boy and grabbed the boy's hands. Suddenly, the boy raised his head and uttered a painful roar! The meridians in his Dantian is being drained continuously that made him cough up a mouthful of blood!
The voice inside the boy's body anxiously said. "No! I can't let you die like this! Listen to me carefully, I will help you break his magic but after that I will fall asleep from consuming too much Qi. No matter what happen afterwards, you must survive!"
The little boy abruptly opened his eyes; a powerful force that doesn't belong to him suddenly appears! Shattering the weapon and magic constricting him!
The man in white suffered a heavy backlash that made him coughed up a lot of blood. But that was just the beginning! In a split second, the little boy used the remaining Qi in his body to cast one last hit to his enemy!
"Boom!" A loud explosion occurred and the man in white was blown away.
When the boy made his attack, not only did he cut the man with a knife but also casted an explosion spell along with it. If the man hadn't reacted on time, he would probably be dead by that explosion alone! In the end, the man suffered a drop on his cultivation.
However, the little boy's situation is worse. After detonating the spell, the little boy heard his Dantian broke afterwards. Cultivation and Qi, he had lost everything…
That explosion changed everything. The man in white is filled with rage after learning that he, who was once a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator had now fallen to Qi Condensation again! The man felt scared that if he uses his power again it would break his Dantian completely.
For someone who is cultivating to immortality, Dantian is considered as one's life. If the people from his sect found out that he damaged his Dantian, regardless of reason, he would be thrown away immediately!
The little boy wanted to fight back but his Dantian was destroyed, he has no Qi left in his body and no matter how much he tries, he can't use the Sky Pearl. He became a complete mortal!
The little boy tries to get up but the man in white indignantly stepped on him, causing him to cough up blood.
The man in white cursed the boy with each step. "Damn! Shit! Shit! How dare you hurt me and cause my cultivation to drop! I want you dead without any kind of burial!"
Even if the boy doesn't have any more power left, he is still stronger compared to an ordinary person. The little boy is completely soaked and filled with mud. His whole body ached as if it was not his own anymore.
The little boy grits his teeth and stares at the bodies lying not far from him…
He was driven out by his own family and it was these people who took him in. If not for them, he would die due to hunger in the streets. He could never repay their kindness anymore, especially now that he is a waste that can no longer cultivate!
'If I survive those who bully and hurt me… I won't let any of them go unpunished!'
After venting his anger, the man in white pull up his sword and aimed it at the little boy's neck. He coldly said.
"If I can, I will certainly torture you in every day of your life and make you my puppet! Killing you like this is letting you off cheaply." He smirked and shouted. "Now, go to hell!"
The little boy looked up and saw the blade flash with cold light.
His closed his eyes and subconsciously holds his breath…
When Yuan Chu hopped into the group of clouds to monitor the protagonist from above, she saw this scene…
Yuan Chu didn't even have the time to appreciate the beauty of the night because in the next moment, she saw the man in white raising his sword to kill the protagonist! The heck!
If Ye Chen Yuan is going to die, he can only die in her hands, the BIG BOSS! How dare someone with insignificant status snatch her prey?
With a flick of a sleeve, a light appeared on her fingertips.
The man in white had no idea that a powerful being is aiming at his head. When he swings the sword towards the little boy a light flashes behind him. — He died.
"Clang!" The little boy heard a sound of sword falling and second later, large drops of blood pours at his body. He quickly opened his eyes and saw the man in white lying on the ground, not moving. He felt relieved.
A strong person saved him…
He survived…
Afterwards, Ye Chen Yuan tried hard to stand up from the muddy water and then kneeled towards Yuan Chu's direction.
"Many thanks to the Revered One… For saving me!"
Even if Ye Chen Yuan can't accept the fact that he is now a waste, he tried to stay calm as much as possible. As long as he's alive, he still has a chance!
That kind of tough and unyielding will from childhood is truly extraordinary.
Yuan Chu was silent for a long time. The one in front of her looks so weak and miserable, a side of Ye Chen Yuan that she didn't see on her past life.
The book only mentioned a few words about his past. She didn't expect that the protagonist would be in grave danger so she subconsciously saved him from that man…
However, Yuan Chu remembers her purpose on coming here in the first place. Yuan Chu looked at him from above, hiding behind the clouds, with a mature voice she said.
"Little kid, I'm not here to save you. You have a treasure on you… I desire it very much!"
Ye Chen Yuan were surprised! The Late Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator before cannot be compared to the person in front him. He really jumped out of the frying pan into the fire on this one! Is this the day he would die?
Seeing the little boy not speaking, Yuan Chu felt a little uncomfortable that she can't tell exactly what she's feeling right now. But no matter what happens, she can't give up! In her past life, she worked so hard to get that treasure!
"As the Sky Pearl inside your body has already recognized you as the owner, only by killing you will it then recognize me. So, before your death, do you have any last words?"
Ye Chen Yuan muttered something then laughed.
He rose slowly even though his whole body is bleeding…
If he can't get away with it, why should he beg?
He thought of the times where he was being persecuted by his family, his loved one being killed and his mother who is waiting for him to redeem himself… He closed his eyes slowly.
"I… Have nothing to say."
Translator's Note:
Poor Ye Chen Yuan…
BTW the "Yuan" in their names have different meanings. For the MC, her Yuan means "First" while for the protagonist it means "Profound".
