Chapitre 19: Chapter 19 Zeng Hongsen Dies
```
"Understood." Zeng Hongsen ordered his subordinate to go.
Yang Xiaotian, after returning from the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild, reviewed the prescription for refining the Four Symbols Spirit Pill once again.
However, just as he was about to start refining the Four Symbols Spirit Pill, he heard a slight noise outside the courtyard.
Yang Xiaotian listened carefully, his eyes turning cold.
At that time, five figures quietly approached the manor under the cover of night.
"Is this the new residence that Yang Chao bought?" The leader, Xie Qing, looked at the somewhat old manor before him.
"Yes, Lord Xie Qing," another person hurried forward, respectfully smiling, "Our master has said that he wants to smash all of Yang Chao's teeth."
Xie Qing laughed, "Zeng Hongsen is too squeamish. If it were up to me, I'd take out Yang Chao and his family of four. Zeng Hongsen doesn't dare, but I'll do it for him."
As his words fell, suddenly, a cold snort sounded.
"Who?!" Xie Qing was immediately alert.
At that moment, a flash of sword light emerged from the darkness.
Xie Qing was about to dodge, but felt a chill at his throat. Touching his neck, he found his hand was covered in blood.
He stood frozen in place, disbelievingly staring at the seven or eight-year-old child emerging from the darkness.
"You!" His mouth opened, then he fell over.
The sudden turn of events stunned the other figures.
"Are you Yang Chao's son?" One of them asked Yang Xiaotian, his voice trembling as he stepped forward.
He had followed Zeng Hongsen one day and had seen Yang Xiaotian once.
Wasn't Yang Chao's son equipped with a Level 2 Giant Tortoise Martial Soul?
Yet he had just killed Xie Qing, a late-stage Innate Grandmaster!
That was a late-stage Innate Grandmaster!
Killed by a single sword strike!
"All of you, should die!" Yang Xiaotian uttered each word distinctly, his voice as if coming from hell. Then, he turned into a black afterimage, thrusting out the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sword in his hand.
The remaining four were frightened into a panicked retreat, but it was too late. Multiple sword Qi blasted down from above, instantly drilling through their heads from the top.
A shocking sword gash extended from the center of their foreheads to their lower bodies.
After a pause, columns of blood sprayed from the tops of their heads.
The five who had come, besides Xie Qing being an Innate Grandmaster, the other four were all late-stage peak tenth level—how could they possibly avoid Yang Xiaotian's Heaven-Penetrating Single Sword Strike.
Yang Xiaotian coldly regarded the five corpses.
In his previous life, he hadn't had the power to protect his master. This life, he wouldn't allow anyone to threaten his family's safety.
After cleaning up the five bodies, he headed towards Zeng Hongsen's residence.
By this time, Zeng Hongsen was still struggling to recall if he had unintentionally offended any pharmacist recently, but he still had no clue.
"Master, in my opinion, we should just finish it, once and for all, simply kill off Yang Chao's entire family," suggested Zeng Hongsen's steward.
Zeng Hongsen shook his head, "Although Yang Hai and Yang Chao are at odds, if we kill Yang Chao's family, the Yang Family Manor will definitely investigate. Let's talk about this another time."
"Let's go inside and drink, and wait for the good news from Xie Qing and the others."
Just as Zeng Hongsen and his companion were about to enter the house, suddenly a cold voice rose, "No need to wait, they won't be coming back."
Zeng Hongsen and his companion turned around in shock.
When they saw it was Yang Xiaotian who stepped forward, they were baffled.
"You are, Yang Chao's son?" Zeng Hongsen was greatly surprised.
The steward also looked at Yang Xiaotian with unsettled surprise.
```
How did Yang Chao's son break into Zeng Family's manor?
At that moment, Yang Xiaotian suddenly flashed, arriving in front of the Zeng Family steward, with the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sword appearing in his hand, a single stroke swept across.
Instantly, the Sword Qi spread out like ripples on the surface of a lake, passing over the steward's neck in a flash.
The Zeng Family steward's face filled with shock. He just tried to reach for his neck, but found he couldn't lift his hand at all.
Then, his head rolled off his neck and fell to the ground.
There was a resounding "thud."
Blood splattered everywhere.
Zeng Hongsen's face changed drastically with alarm, he gripped the large knife in his hand. However, just as he was about to strike, a flash of sword light appeared before his eyes.
Yang Xiaotian's long sword was already at his throat.
"You, you!" Zeng Hongsen looked at Yang Xiaotian before him with a terrified gaze, his speech incoherent.
"Didn't Wen Jiawei warn you today?" Yang Xiaotian coldly regarded Zeng Hongsen.
Zeng Hongsen's mind thundered.
"It's you! You are the mysterious Alchemist!"
The man Wen Jiawei spoke of, was Yang Chao's son?
Yang Chao's son was actually an Alchemist?!
Zeng Hongsen was shaken to his core.
Yang Xiaotian's eyes were icy as his long sword slowly pierced into Zeng Hongsen's throat.
Blood gushed out, constantly flowing onto the blade of the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sword.
Zeng Hongsen's eyes bulged, he wanted to speak, but nothing came out.
Finally, the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sword pierced through the back of Zeng Hongsen's neck.
Yang Xiaotian pulled out the sword.
Zeng Hongsen tried to speak, tried to staunch the bleeding at his throat with his hands.
In the end, he collapsed to the ground, the surrounding blue bricks stained red with blood.
He wanted to look at Yang Xiaotian but could only see the blood-stained blue bricks before his eyes.
He wanted to recall something, but his mind was blank, and eventually, everything before his eyes slipped into complete darkness.
Yang Xiaotian took a glance at Zeng Hongsen's gradually cooling corpse and vanished in a flash.
After returning to his own courtyard, he took a breather and began constructing the Four Symbols Spirit Pills.
The Innate Spirit Pill was far more difficult to make than the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, and missing even a single step meant failing to create the pill. Therefore, Yang Xiaotian was extremely cautious during the process.
He carefully controlled the fire of Heaven and Earth as it slowly calcined the medicinal ingredients.
To make the Innate Spirit Pills, one couldn't simply put all the ingredients together like when creating Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, instead, a few ingredients had to be added first. Once they were completely melted, others were added.
As the process continued, the melting of the ingredients became slower, and the consumption of Innate True Qi increasingly greater.
At first, it wasn't too difficult, but as it went on, Yang Xiaotian found it more and more taxing.
Fortunately, after several hours, just when Yang Xiaotian was almost at his limit, nearly a hundred types of medicinal ingredients finally completely melted. Amid his tension, they gradually began to condense into pills.
Seeing the pills finally formed, Yang Xiaotian let out a huge sigh of relief, collapsing to the ground, panting. He touched his forehead, sweating profusely.
He had not expected that creating the Innate Spirit Pills would consume such a vast amount of Innate True Qi. He was lucky his True Qi was profound, for if it were any other second-tier Innate cultivator, they couldn't have possibly succeeded.
Looking at the crystal-clear, enchantingly fragrant Four Symbols Spirit Pill before him, Yang Xiaotian smiled. This Spirit Pill was of a higher quality than the two he had obtained from Hu Lie before, it was superior.
With this superior Four Symbols Spirit Pill, he should be able to break through to the third level of the Innate realm.
