Chapter 38: Chapter 38: We’re Still Good Brothers

"Hidden weapons!"

Yu Qiuyang’s expression changed drastically. He hastily activated his Gang Qi to block.

He wasn’t afraid of ordinary hidden weapons, but needle-shaped ones specifically broke through Protective Gang Qi.

He never imagined that Lu Yuan would use needles...

After all, needles were the most difficult to master among all hidden weapons! Furthermore, they had inherent weaknesses, such as a short lethal range and weak impact force, making the requirements for their use exceptionally stringent.

However, he knew Lu Yuan had just obtained the hidden weapon manual, so the power he could exert shouldn’t be that great.

THWIP! THWIP! THWIP!

But in the very next moment, Yu Qiuyang’s expression froze. His body stiffened, completely immobilized.

Three Silver Needles had not only broken his Protective Gang Qi, but had completely embedded themselves into his leg. One of them was dangerously close to a vital area...

Yu Qiuyang’s back was instantly drenched in cold sweat.

SWISH! SWISH!

It wasn’t over. Immediately after, Lu Yuan threw out two Steel Needles, nailing them into Yu Qiuyang’s shoulder blades and disabling his upper body.

SWISH!

Another needle—this time a Golden Needle—flew straight at Jianng Hongfei.

"You..."

Jianng Hongfei hurriedly dodged, but he was a step too late.

THWIP!

That Golden Needle shot right between Jianng Hongfei’s ribs. He wasn’t wearing his Inner Armor today...

"Don’t move, you two. If you move and the needles shift, don’t blame me if you get hurt," Lu Yuan kindly reminded them.

"You... you..." Yu Qiuyang’s face turned green. He felt that he might end up sterile for the rest of his life. "Lu Yuan, you... you... hurry up and take the needles out! Otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Lu Yuan asked curiously.

"Lu Yuan, you dare to hurt me? You’re courting death!" Jianng Hongfei yelled in terror. He could feel that the Golden Needle, barely two inches long, had fully submerged into his body. He didn’t know if it would slice his internal organs...

"Is that so? I’m so scared." Lu Yuan walked forward with a smile. "But who will die first? You guys, or me?"

"You... I..." Yu Qiuyang’s expression rapidly shifted, but he was only putting up a fierce front. "Lu Yuan, if you dare to harm my future descendants, the Yu family will absolutely not let you off!"

"My Jiang family won’t let you off either!" Jianng Hongfei threatened.

Lu Yuan thought, "Two idiots!"

He stopped in front of Yu Qiuyang and reached out to flick the Steel Needles lodged in his shoulder blades. "You still have a tough mouth. But you two were the ones who wanted to beat me up first. I was just acting in self-defense. What did I do wrong?"

"Ah! HISS!"

Yu Qiuyang instantly sucked in a breath of cold air.

He realized that these needles weren’t just stuck in his flesh; they had pierced his acupoints. One wrong move could ruin everything. No wonder he couldn’t move his body and couldn’t even mobilize the True Gang within him.

That was bad enough. But if his acupoints were damaged, his future in the Seventh Grade would be completely ruined.

"Lu Yuan, tell me. What will it take for you to let me go?" He finally bowed his arrogant head.

"Right, right! Lu Yuan, state your terms! Hurry up!" Jianng Hongfei hastily added.

"Why so formal?" Lu Yuan’s smile changed as his hands moved quickly, extracting the two Steel Needles from Yu Qiuyang’s shoulder blades.

PHEW!

Yu Qiuyang immediately let out a long breath of relief. "Hurry up, there are still three left!"

"Are you telling me how to do things?" Lu Yuan shook his head and walked toward Jianng Hongfei.

"I... I..." Yu Qiuyang’s expression shifted.

He regretted it. He shouldn’t have been so impatient. Calm down! Calm down! But how could he calm down?

"Quick, quick! Hurry up and take the Golden Needle out of my body! I feel like I’m going to die!" Jianng Hongfei cried out in anxious terror. Growing up, he had never been in such a dangerous situation.

"Relax, as long as you don’t make sudden movements, you’ll be fine," Lu Yuan consoled him with a smile, extending a hand toward Jianng Hongfei. "Young Master Fei, if I take the Golden Needle out, you won’t retaliate against me later, will you?"

"No, no! How could I?" Jianng Hongfei hurriedly shook his head.

Of course he was going to retaliate. Would he even be Jianng Hongfei if he didn’t? Was all the suffering and humiliation he just endured going to be for nothing?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

"I don’t believe you!" Lu Yuan shook his head. Looking earnestly at Jianng Hongfei, he said, "You must swear upon your future in the Martial Dao. If you retaliate afterward, you will never be able to break through to the Sixth Grade for the rest of your life!

"Including instigating others to retaliate against me and my family, openly or in secret, it all counts!

"Of course, this doesn’t include you defeating or beating me openly with your own martial prowess.

"If you have the ability, you can kill me in a fair fight."

"Ah? You..." Jianng Hongfei’s expression changed.

Why was this guy so cautious and thorough? This was forcing him to swallow his anger and let it go. This, this...

"What? You aren’t willing?" Lu Yuan’s expression turned cold. "Then you can just wait for death!

"The Golden Needle will shift with your breathing, potentially slicing your organs. When that happens, even the gods won’t be able to save you..."

"I swear! I swear!" Terrified, Jianng Hongfei hastily made the vow.

He repeated exactly what Lu Yuan had said, word for word, not daring to miss a single syllable. He was afraid that if he had to repeat it, the Golden Needle would have already punctured his organs.

"Good! Good! That’s more like it." Lu Yuan smiled. He swiftly tapped twice on Jianng Hongfei’s body, easily extracting the Golden Needle. "We’re colleagues, and we’re on the same squad. We should understand and help each other, not kill each other."

Jianng Hongfei thought, "Like hell I’d believe you!"

He rolled his eyes and rapidly backed away to put distance between himself and Lu Yuan.

"Mine! Mine! I swear too!" Yu Qiuyang cried out in panic, as he could no longer feel his lower limbs.

"This bad idea was all yours, wasn’t it?" Lu Yuan turned to look at Yu Qiuyang and asked.

"No, no... I..." Yu Qiuyang couldn’t help but glance at Jianng Hongfei.

"What the hell do you mean by that?" Jianng Hongfei’s anger was instantly ignited. "Yu Qiuyang, weren’t you the one who suggested getting revenge and beating Lu Yuan up?

"You brought it up first, and I just agreed...

"You mutt, you dare frame me?

"You son of a bitch..."

"No, no, that’s not what I meant! That’s not what I meant! Young Master Fei..." Yu Qiuyang frantically tried to explain. He had only wanted to defer to him to subtly claim some credit.

"Don’t come near me ever again! I don’t know a son of a bitch like you!" Jianng Hongfei cursed furiously.

"You... you..." Yu Qiuyang’s face rapidly darkened.

This was the first time he had ever been cursed at like this. And in front of an outsider, no less.

An absolute humiliation! An absolute humiliation!

"Alright, alright." Lu Yuan quickly interrupted the two. "I don’t care about the conflict between the two of you. Yu Qiuyang, make your vow. Just repeat what Young Master Fei said earlier."

They weren’t far from the Demon Suppression Bureau here, so it wasn’t wise to delay any longer.

"I swear..." Yu Qiuyang raised his hand to make the vow. His voice couldn’t help but tremble slightly, for only he knew the sheer stifling frustration in his heart.

"Good, very good." Lu Yuan patted Yu Qiuyang’s shoulder. "That’s more like it. From now on, we’re all good brothers."

Yu Qiuyang thought, "Who’s your good brother?"

With a miserable expression, he pleaded, "Hurry up and take the needles out!"

"Alright, I’ll take them out right now!" Lu Yuan made his move, swiftly extracting two Silver Needles from Yu Qiuyang’s thigh.

There was still one last needle left...

"This one is a bit tricky. If I’m not careful, it could permanently ruin your manhood."

"Ah? You..." Yu Qiuyang’s face paled in sheer horror.

If his manhood was ruined, then his life would be over. What would be the point of living?
