“Just now, which hand did you want to hit me with?” The old beggar sneered as he asked Liu Yan Qing.

“My…my right hand….” Liu Yan Qing slightly raised his head and peeked at the old beggar before quickly lowering his head, feeling somewhat restless.

“Well then, cripple your right hand,” the old beggar casually said.

Liu Yan Qing’s expression turned ugly. Once his right hand was crippled, the hand would definitely be wasted, unless there was a top-notch miraculous dan. However, how could an ordinary person like him have something like that top-notch miraculous dan? Even if his biological brother was an inner disciple of the Heavenly Sect, getting his hands on that kind of dan would still be extremely difficult.

"Senior! I have eyes but failed to see Mount Tai! Senior is a great man who will not harbor grudges for the younger generation’s past wrongs!" Liu Yan Qing once again pleaded.

Liu Yan Qing at this time no longer had his previous unbridled att.i.tude and was begging for mercy.

Su Yu, who was lying on the ground, clenched his fist when he saw the scene before him.

Power! This was power! That is what he needed!

In this world, those with power were elders, and those who didn't have power could only act as grandchildren! Su Yu had already fully understood this principle.

Similar to what had happened before, Liu Yan Qing had used his strength to act high and mighty in front of him. He totally did not see him as a human being. And now that Liu Yan Qing met the old beggar whose strength was stronger than his by several times, he could only act as a respectful grandson.

“In the end, this world runs by the principle of might is right; power is justice!” Su Yu’s eyes began to sparkle strongly.

He must cultivate! He must become a cultivator!

If he could not cultivate, even if he was someone who had transmigrated over and became one of the many people in this world, he would just eventually live on the lowest rung of the ladder.

Before transmigrating, Su Yu had never been an ordinary man, and it would be likewise after moving to this world!!!

After hearing Liu Yan Qing’s plead, the old beggar wasn’t the slightest bit moved. He cast a glance at Liu Yan Qing before he calmly asked, “Don’t tell me you want me to do it myself?”

The old beggar’s words caused Liu Yan Qing’s complexion to turn ashen.

He wasn’t an idiot. Since the old beggar had already made his point, clearly there wasn’t anymore leeway for him to haggle to save his right hand. Also, the old beggar’s words were hinting to him that he should just do as he was told; to cripple himself and not spout so much nonsense.

He understood very well that at this time, he could only do as the old beggar said, or else the ending to this situation would be even worse.

Liu Yan Qing abruptly lifted his head, but this time he was not looking at the old beggar, rather, he was looking at Su Yu.

While looking at Su Yu, a thick hatred and resentment began to emerge from his eyes. In his opinion, all of this was caused by Su Yu. If it weren't for Su Yu, that old beggar would not have appeared for no particular reason. If that old beggar did not appear, then he would not have provoked him and landed in this situation where he had to waste his own right hand.

“Boy, wait till this old b*st*rd leaves, if I do not torture you till you’re hovering between life and death, Lao Zi’s surname will not be Liu!” Liu Yan Qing roared in his heart.

When Su Yu saw that Liu Yan Qing was looking at him with malicious intent, he just rolled his eyes, “Blaming me?”

“Humph!” Liu Yan Qing fiercely humphed and shortly after, he no longer looked at Su Yu

Afterward, under the old beggar’s watch, Liu Yan Qing slowly raised his left hand, and with resolution, he fiercely smacked it.

Kā chā!

A crisp sound of the bone breaking was heard.

This Liu Yan Qing was really a dauntless person, because he was also very harsh towards himself. That blow of his had shattered all of his right hand’s bones.

“Ah!” A cry of anguish escaped his mouth, and his face instantly turned red and twisted in pain.

“Second young lord!”

“Second young lord!”

The family servants who were present quickly surrounded Liu Yan Qing.

“Not bad, to also treat yourself harshly, you got quite a character. Well, since you have already wasted your right hand, quickly scram!” The old beggar impatiently waved his hand at Liu Yan Qing.

“Go, go, go; quickly support the second young lord back.”

When the family servants heard the old beggar’s words, they felt like they had been pardoned. They immediately supported Liu Yan Qing who was suffering terribly from pain and left. Before leaving, Liu Yan Qing once again hatefully stared at Su Yu. His gaze looked like he wanted to swallow Su Yu whole.

“Liu Bing, later find a servant to follow Su Yu. If that old b*st*rd doesn’t give a da*n about him, capture him! I must break him till he suffers in utter misery where he can neither live nor die!” This was Liu Yan Qing’s last order to Liu Bing before he fainted from the pain.

“Yes! Second young lord!”

……

The fight at the entrance of the village did not attract many people’s attention. The reason was actually very simple. When they saw Liu Yan Qing bring people to the village entrance, they knew that an unfortunate family was going to suffer. Once Liu Yan Qing, the local bully, appeared, they could only hide far away or hide at home, not daring to come out.

When Liu Yan Qing and his people had walked quite a distance, the old beggar indifferently shot a glance at Su Yu.

In fact, before Su Yu and the Ji Family ran to the village entrance, he had already taken notice of the boy. He had also been watching the happenings that had occurred at the village entrance.

Hence, this very point in which Su Yu took the initiative to stay behind to allow Ji Da Chun and his family to leave first caused the old beggar to quite admire him. Afterwards, when he saw that Liu Yan Qing was about to kill Su Yu, he finally could not continue watching and could not resist saying his piece.

However, he had never thought that after, Liu Yan Qing would also want to kill him. What caused him to even more feel speechless was when Su Yu, that fool, saw that Liu Yan Qing wanted to kill him, he ran in front of him to help him take on Liu Yan Qing’s fist. Su Yu’s action caused the old man to feel irritated because after living for more than a hundred years, was there a need for a younger generation to receive a blow for him?

Of course, other than feeling irritated, his admiration towards Su Yu increased by a number of points.

“Really is a fool!” This was the evaluation the old beggar gave to Su Yu.

“Still alive?” The old beggar drank a mouthful of wine from his gourd and asked as he shot him glance.

The old beggar’s question incited Su Yu to roll his eyes and have an urge to curse.

Aren’t you talking nonsense? Can't you see that Lao Zi’s eyes are still open, and blood is still flowing out of my mouth ah?

Seeing that Su Yu rolled his eyes at him, the old beggar burst into laughter with a mock, “Not bad, not bad, you can still roll your eyes. This proves that you’re still alive. That’s good, that's good. Well then, you can continue lying on the ground and I’ll first take my leave!”

With that said, the old beggar no longer paid any more attention to Su Yu as he immediately turned and left.

Looking at the scene, several people hidden in the dark were immediately happy. They calculated in their minds. They thought that when that mysterious old beggar leaves, they would straightaway capture that fellow and gain credits from the second young lord.

“My￥%”

When Su Yu saw that the old beggar really didn’t care about him and just went about his own way, he was completely speechless.

However, he wasn’t dumb. He was aware that if he continued lying there, then the path awaiting him at that time would only be a dead end as Liu Yan Qing and his people would definitely not let him go. Hence, only by following the old beggar would he be able to continue surviving.

Although, currently, Su Yu was already seriously injured and his insides were extremely weak to the point that he didn't have the slightest strength left, his strong desire to survive pushed him, allowing him to be able to struggle up.

He didn't want to die, and he, even more, could not let himself die. He still had many doubts that had yet to be cleared, and he…still wanted to go home; return to his original world….

After squeezing out every last bit of strength in his body, Su Yu looked at the old beggar’s back, and he gritted his teeth before shouting out loudly, “Senior, wait for me!” After shouting, Su Yu immediately chased to catch up with him.

At the same time, several unwilling sounds rang out from those who were hidden in the dark.

“Da*n it, he still can stand up and follow in that kind of state? He has Lao Zi’s f***ing admiration!”

……

“You really aren’t dumb. I thought you would not be able to stand up ah!” Along the narrow path, the old beggar said to the young man behind him.

This young man was naturally Su Yu.

Currently, Su Yu was walking unsteadily as if he could fall at any time. However, every time he would nearly fall over, he would stubbornly force himself at that moment to steady his body and continue.

In fact, when he was fighting with Liu Yan Qing at the start, due to some sudden mysterious reason, he had already lost all of his body’s strength. However, the reason he was able to force himself to get up and follow the old beggar was because of his desire to live. Right now, what had been motivating him to continue on was a desire. The desire to cultivate.

Su Yu understood that the old beggar before him wasn’t an ordinary person but a strong cultivator. Hence, he didn’t want to let such a good opportunity slip away. He wanted to cultivate and he was extremely desperate to do so! However, he didn't know how to cultivate.

Previously, Ye Jian Xing had used the Spiritual Technique only to pa.s.s his lifetime experience to him. However, it did not mention how to enter the road of cultivation. Hence he needed someone to guide him towards the path of cultivation, and the old beggar before him was without a doubt the best candidate.

It’s just that, he wanted the old beggar to take him in, but the old beggar might not be willing to.

Hence, he didn't know how to speak, so he could only follow behind the old beggar.

Without knowing how long he had been following the old beggar, he finally could not endure any longer at this moment, and he completely collapsed onto the ground.

The old beggar finally stopped when Su Yu collapsed. He slowly turned his body, then carefully observed the boy.

“To be able to follow me for nearly a day before collapsing, cannot endure already?” The old beggar mumbled to himself.

“The energy of the body’s blood essence has already been exhausted. It looks like previously, some kind of secret technique forcefully triggered the body’s hidden capabilities. Once this kind of secret technique is used, the user must pay a terrifying price. There were cases where cultivators had to use their life force as the price. However, why is it for this youth, other than his body experiencing a short-term loss of strength, his body appears to not have suffered any damages. On the contrary, he still could follow me for a day in that sort of state?”

“This really makes one curious….” The old beggar once again mumbled to himself.
