Chapter 97: Rebound Coma [4]

In the dark alley not far away, the instant the infant ghost was swallowed by the Qilin Arm, Tong Kun-Kun spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground in a disheveled manner!

“Are you all right?” Ren Yuheng’s face changed drastically.

Tong Kun-Kun’s hands trembled as he said with no strength left: “That guy… what kind of monster is that? How could he swallow my little ghost?!”

Raising a little ghost was forbidden. When the little ghost was successfully refined in the past, the master from Siam had warned Tong Kun-Kun that once the little ghost’s soul dispersed, he, Tong Kun-Kun, would perish along with it!

Now that Yan Yu’s arm had consumed the little ghost he dispatched, Tong Kun-Kun suddenly became as frail as if his meridians had been severed.

Despair filled his heart, for soon he would fall ill and die!

Ren Yuheng supported Tong Kun-Kun, his eyes locked tightly on Yan Yu.

“I’ll take you back first. This Yan Yu… I’ll deal with him sooner or later!” Ren Yuheng dared not stay any longer, hoisting Tong Kun-Kun and disappearing into the night.

Meanwhile.

“What, what… what is this?!”

Seeing the ghost face on Yan Yu’s left arm, Su Hanxue and the others were instantly frightened pale.

How on earth had Yan Yu’s body grown such a terrifying demon?

Su Han had never seen a Qilin Arm, and in her view, at this moment, the sinister energy wrapping around Yan Yu all stemmed from that eerie arm.

Yan Yu had just engaged in a fierce battle with Liu Sen and Xiao Hongniang, his body already weak, and now bitten by the little ghost, it compounded the injury.

At this point, he lacked even the strength to stand steadily, so he leaned against the car and said in a deep voice:

“Su Han, you possess innate yin-yang eyes, while I have a post-natal yin-yang arm. This fellow has resided in my body since childhood without any aberrant behavior, but this time… it seems it wishes to seize the initiative to occupy my body!”

In recent years, Yan Yu strictly followed his master Lin Xuan’s instructions, rarely employing the Qilin Arm; even when he did, he could easily seal it.

But this time, Yan Yu was already injured, and due to the little ghost’s bite earlier, the bloodlust of the Qilin Arm was awakened. Now this thing was like a frenzied beast, only intent on breaking free from Yan Yu’s control and satiating its hunger!

“What… what should we do?” Su Han was at a loss.

The ghost face on the Qilin Arm continued to chant “eat, eat, eat” without pause, Yan Yu’s consciousness growing increasingly hazy.

“If… if my master were here, there might be a solution. But if I faint, this fellow wants to usurp my body, then you… chop it down!”

“Chop off your arm?! Impossible…”

“This fellow is more terrifying than a vengeful ghost. If it controls my body, the consequences are beyond comprehension!”

After speaking, Yan Yu’s eyes rolled back, and he collapsed flat on the ground!

Su Wud asked nervously, “Yan Yu… has he fainted?”

The strange thing was that although Yan Yu had clearly lost consciousness, his Qilin Arm was still twitching violently, and the ghost face on the Qilin Arm wailed in ghostly agony.

“If he faints, what about Yinxuan?!” Su Hanxue asked anxiously.

“Yan Yu’s safety is just as crucial!” Su Han shouted, “Su Hanxue, if not for your collusion with outsiders, how could Yan Yu and Yinxuan have ended up in this state?!”

Su Hanxue’s face turned ashen: “I know, it was my impulse, I was too anxious… I had no ill intentions; I merely wished for the old man to fall gravely ill and retire early. I never imagined the situation would devolve to this… If trading my life could ensure their safety, I would rather die!”

Su Han gazed at the unconscious Yan Yu and Su Yinxuan, her eyes reddening: “Is it of any use to say these things now? Hurry and assist, send them home. Perhaps Grandfather has a method?!”

Su Hanxue immediately summoned Mo Guanjia and Su Wud to help, carrying the two onto the carriage and speeding them back to Su Garden.

…

In the Su Garden, due to the earlier commotion, the celebration banquet could not proceed. Many guests were preparing to depart.

Shangguan Xin had deliberately remained to negotiate the contract with Yang Xuefei, conversing with her in the banquet hall. Just then, several servants entered the hall, whispering something into Shangguan Xin’s and Su Wu’s ears. Both their expressions changed, and they rose to leave at once.

In a guest room of the Su Garden, Yan Yu and Su Yinxuan lay side by side. Both had sunk into unconsciousness, and the ghost face on Yan Yu’s arm was still attempting to burst forth from Yan Yu’s body.

“Old Master Su, you know Yan Yu’s identity. If anything happens to him because of you…!”

“I never anticipated it would reach such a point, but fear not; I will engage the finest physicians to treat Yan Yu and ensure nothing befalls him!”

As Su Wu and Shangguan Xin’s voices reached them, the two entered the guest room. Su Wu saw the face on Yan Yu’s arm at a glance and his face paled in fright.

“What… what’s happening?!” Shangguan Xin inquired anxiously.

Su Han shot Su Hanxue a glare: “Yan Yu sought to identify the demon who attacked Grandfather today and pursued it, only to be secretly ambushed and fall into this state. Yinxuan was implicated as well.”

Su Wu’s face turned purple with rage, and he slapped Su Hanxue across the face again: “You scoundrel! All this is your doing! Listen well—if Yan Yu suffers any harm, you should come to Emei Mountain to confess with your own head!”

Su Hanxue had not expected that a mere Yan Yu would elicit such words from Su Wu. Yet Su Yinxuan was now in mortal danger, so he could only press a hand to his swollen cheek and reply:

“Father, this is all my fault. But beating me won’t help. Think instead about how to save Yinxuan and Yan Yu!”

Shangguan Xin frowned: “Yan Yu is an extraordinary individual; his predicament demands handling by someone of similar caliber. But where does one find such a person? Even contacting Emei Mountain would be futile against the pressing urgency…”

Su Wu took several deep breaths to steady himself, then said slowly, “I do know of such a person, but he provided no means of contact…”

At that moment, Mo Guanjia rushed in and urgently told Su Wu, “Master! A Mr. Lin has arrived at the door. He… he is…”

“Mr. Lin?! Is it perhaps the Mr. Lin who saved Han’er all those years ago?!” Su Wu’s face brightened with delight.

Mo Guanjia nodded vigorously: “Indeed, it’s that gentleman. Over twenty years have passed, yet he still came to the door!”

Su Wu declared excitedly, “Mr. Lin must have foreseen our Su family’s impending calamity today, which is why he has come to offer assistance. Quickly bring him in… No, I’ll go with you to the garden entrance to welcome Mr. Lin!”

Observing Su Wu of advanced years dragging Mo Guanjia out as if racing, everyone was left bewildered.

Su Han had never heard of any Mr. Lin, nor did she recall when he might have saved her life.

Only Su Hanxue’s face showed joy: “If it truly is that Mr. Lin from back then, then Yinxuan and Yan Yu will surely be saved today!”
