Eternal Life Starts from Tai Chi-Chapter 55: Get Out Here and Die

After Yang Chan began administering treatment, the commotion inside the T-shaped Room was quickly brought under control. He wasn’t flustered, which put the injured disciples at ease.

The sounds of clashing swords and pained screams from outside also began to fade, a clear sign that the situation was being contained.

The lingering tension on the injured disciples’ faces finally melted away.

"You lie down too. Let me bandage you up."

Yang Chan said, looking at an injured disciple who was still bleeding.

Only then did his hand relax slightly, no longer hovering over his Plum Blossom Sleeve Arrow.

Yang Chan appeared calm and focused on treating the injured disciples, but in reality, he had not let his guard down for a moment. He only truly relaxed when the sounds outside subsided.

"Senior Brother Yang, should I go scout out the situation?"

Sun Qi Wu asked, watching as Yang Chan bandaged another disciple.

"Alright. If you run into danger, retreat immediately. Be careful."

Yang Chan nodded in agreement. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

In truth, he also wanted to know the details of what was happening before he could fully relax, so he didn’t refuse Sun Qi Wu’s offer.

"Yang Chan, get out here and die!"

Before Sun Qi Wu could even take a step, a sharp cry echoed from the wall. A man with blood at the corner of his mouth, wielding a blood-red long sword, vaulted over the wall into the T-shaped Room’s courtyard. His crimson eyes scanned the T-shaped Room, searching frantically.

Yang Chan’s brow furrowed slightly. ’I can’t believe this guy, Zhao Qiyang, is still alive.’

He had originally planned for the man to die an obscure death, never to rest in peace.

’Looks like the arrangements made by Elder Lü Zhenghai and the others went wrong, letting this guy get to me.’

He could tell from Zhao Qiyang’s appearance that he was seriously injured. Power circulated through his body, and his skin glowed with a brassy light. ’As expected, another master of External Refining Copper Skin.’

"Pharmacist Zhao, you’ve come to the wrong place. The Bingzi Pharmacy is next door, not here."

Yang Chan put on a confused expression, but his hands were already moving stealthily.

He observed Zhao Qiyang’s flushed face. ’He must have taken a drug for a temporary burst of power. He looks like he’s at the second layer of the External Refining Copper Skin Realm, but the power he’s unleashing is likely even higher.’

Even though he himself was at the third layer of External Refining Copper Skin, he didn’t want to engage in close combat and risk getting hit. ’It would be best if I can stall until the Law Enforcement Hall arrives.’

"Wrong place? GYEHEHEHEHE!!!"

"Yang Chan, you killed my brother, Zhao Ziqing! I’m not getting out of Hanlin Mansion alive, so I’ll take your life in return! And while I’m at it, I’ll have these Cyan Yuan Sect dogs buried with me!"

Zhao Qiyang sneered, a strange laugh escaping his lips. He had taken a Blood Burst Pill, which would increase his strength by fifty percent for the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, but his life was also at its end. Once the medicinal power faded, he would die from his own blood erupting.

This was a last resort prepared by Lingyu Palace for their high-level undercover agents, intended for them to take a few Cyan Yuan Sect members down with them before they died. They really had thought of everything.

The Cyan Yuan Sect had sent an Elite Disciple at the third layer of External Refining Copper Skin to kill him. Sensing something was wrong, he took the Blood Burst Pill and caught the Cyan Yuan Sect Elite Disciple off guard, then used a life-for-a-life tactic to severely injure his opponent.

He was in no better shape himself. He had originally intended to drag that Elite Disciple down with him, but the man had cunningly escaped. Unable to keep up, Zhao Qiyang happened to be passing the T-shaped Room when he remembered Yang Chan, the culprit behind Zhao Ziqing’s death, and immediately vaulted the wall.

Upon finding Yang Chan, he charged forward, his sword raised. His face was a twisted mask of excitement and murderous intent.

"I never would have thought Pharmacist Zhao was the brother of a Sect traitor. So that makes you..."

Yang Chan was genuinely surprised by Zhao Qiyang’s identity. He had previously overheard a conversation between Zhao Qiyang and Qian Tu and had assumed Zhao Qiyang was on a mission from Lingyu Palace to kill him. He never imagined that Zhao Qiyang and Zhao Ziqing were brothers.

’No wonder this guy started making trouble for me not long after I joined the Medicine Hall in Hanlin Mansion. So there was this much hatred between us.’

’A grudge like this can’t be resolved. Better just to send Zhao Qiyang on his way.’

’Zhao Ziqing might need a guide on the Yellow Springs Road, and his dear brother Zhao Qiyang is the perfect fit.’

"That’s right, I’m also with Lingyu Palace! Now that you know the truth, it’s time for you to die!"

As Zhao Qiyang spoke, he closed in on Yang Chan, slashing directly with his Ten Refinements Long Sword. He intended to decapitate him and end his life decisively.

Since there was no chance of escape, he would take down as many people in the T-shaped Room as he could. That would be revenge enough.

His only regret was that he wouldn’t live to see the fall of the Cyan Yuan Sect, and that the Zhao Family’s bloodline would not be carried on.

After his death, the Zhao Family would be completely wiped out.

A once-great family, leaving no trace behind.

"Hmm?"

As these thoughts ran through Zhao Qiyang’s mind, something felt wrong. His sword didn’t meet the satisfying resistance of slicing through flesh.

The Ten Refinements Long Sword was incredibly sharp, but there should still have been a sensation when cutting through a head. Right now, there was nothing.

When his gaze fell upon his blade, Yang Chan was gone. He looked up just in time to see white lime powder flying toward his eyes.

Zhao Qiyang reflexively shut his eyes, but he was a fraction too slow.

The white lime powder had already gotten into his eyes.

"You despicable coward!"

After his initial reaction, Zhao Qiyang didn’t immediately open his eyes. Having spent so long in Taiyu City, he naturally knew about lime powder. Opening his eyes now would only worsen the injury and affect his judgment.

If he had a large amount of rapeseed oil, he could wash it out, but he had no time for that now.

"A traitor to the Cyan Yuan Sect has the nerve to say that? There’s no need for honor when dealing with someone like you, who infiltrated the Cyan Yuan Sect and harmed its disciples."

As Yang Chan spoke, he gestured to several other disciples who were still able to fight.

They reacted quickly, taking up the Ten Refinements Long Swords provided by the Sect and lunging at Zhao Qiyang from several directions.

"Yang Chan, you spoke. Now you die!"

Zhao Qiyang’s ears twitched. He leaped into the air, dodging the long swords from behind, and simultaneously lunged in Yang Chan’s direction to assassinate him.

He had assassinated people in the dark before and had the ability to pinpoint locations by sound at close range.

The moment Yang Chan spoke, he knew his position, just as he heard the movements of the others drawing their swords behind him.

"Oh? Quite confident, aren’t you?"

As he spoke, Yang Chan threw the Flying Claw hanging at his waist directly at Zhao Qiyang.

He had practiced with this hidden weapon countless times, and his technique was already well-honed.

Hearing the sound, Zhao Qiyang swung his long sword horizontally to knock the incoming hidden weapon away.

Seeing this, Yang Chan gave a slight tug, and the Flying Claw latched onto the long sword in Zhao Qiyang’s hand. He then flung the rope again, binding both of Zhao Qiyang’s hands.

"Is that all you’ve got? Break for me!"

Zhao Qiyang channeled his strength, unleashing power comparable to the third layer of External Refining Copper Skin, intending to shatter the Flying Claw’s cord.

"Of course, I have other tricks. Didn’t you feel something hit your chest?"
