Liu Du moved closer to Ma Laoban's ear and lowered his voice, saying, "Try to see if your lower abdomen has a kind of pain."

Ma Laoban still did not answer, but he did not believe Liu Du's words at all.

Liu Du did not speak further, he directly extended a finger and lightly tapped on the Qi Sea Acupoint on the lower abdomen of Ma Laoban, the cold and dark Qi in his body directly entered it.

Ma Laoban suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. His entire body was trembling as he looked at Liu Du in fear and fear, cold sweat dripping down from his forehead. "W-what did you do to me?"

"Heh heh," Liu Du laughed innocently: "I didn't do anything, I just placed a wandering soul needle in your body. If you can't get the antidote on time, you won't die, but you will.

Boss Ma was skeptical, but the pain in his lower abdomen made him wary of Liu.

"You don't believe me, right? The next time you do that thing with your woman again, you'll understand what I'm talking about." Liu Du laughed unconcernedly and retracted his Qi. In truth, he did not have a [Soul Wandering Needle], it was just a name he had seen in his inheritance. It was extremely vicious, but the refining conditions were extremely harsh.

He was only at the very beginning, when he had sneak attacked Ma Laoban, he had attached a trace of Yin energy to the golden needles, temporarily sealing his Qi Sea. However, just now, when his Qi was flowing, he left a little more, allowing him to not retreat for one more day.

It was just that when he said that he was looking for a woman, he intentionally revealed it. He knew that the more he said that, the earlier Ma Laoban would try it out because it was all due to human nature.

"Actually, there's nothing to be afraid of about this needle. It's just that it makes your body feel like it has fallen into an ice cave with thousands of needles piercing it. Besides, do you even know how to lift it? Think about it."

"What, what do you want me to do?" Ma Laoban was finally moved. Even if he did not move now, he could feel that there was a thorn in his lower abdomen that was both cold and painful.

In fact, this was also his psychological effect. When Liu Du released his inner strength, these feelings should not have been there, but Liu Du's words gave him a psychological hint, which was why he felt this way.

"Actually, it's nothing, just calling all your brothers in." Liu Du chuckled, and pointed to the people outside who were still enjoying the show.

It was not that he did not think about it, he had Ma Laoban send Zhou Yanhong away, but if it was like that, the police would be alerted, and Liu Du would not want to deal with the police, there were many things that could not be explained clearly.

Alright, I'll listen to you." "To be an axe or a knife, I am a fish. I have no choice, but Boss Ma is a bachelor. After thinking for a bit, he agreed to Liu Du's conditions.

Zhou Yanhong and the other two could only see Liu Du and Ma Laoban mumbling to themselves, but they couldn't hear it clearly. However, when they saw the Ma Laoban's face filled with fear, they couldn't help but be surprised.

She was very clear about the personality of Ma Laoban. Even if they refused to enter, refused to give in to force, and even though they were notoriously stinky, they actually …

An indescribable feeling surged in Zhou Yanhong's heart.

"You guys go first." Liu Du's bland voice interrupted her thoughts and gave her a sweet smile. In Zhou Yanhong's eyes, there was a trace of flirtatiousness and he couldn't help but remember what happened in the wardrobe. His beautiful face suddenly flushed.

"Be careful." However, Zhou Yanhong knew that this was not the time to be lost in her thoughts. She shook her head, and cleared all the distracting thoughts from her mind, then pulled her brother and walked out.

The people who were outside froze up when they saw the situation in the basement.

Only after a long while did someone react, and angrily pointed at Liu Du: "Let go of our boss."

"Let go of our boss, or I'll kill you!"

The crowd was noisy, the crowd passionate and in a daze, it was as if they were in a crowd of tens of thousands of soldiers.

The machete in his hand shone brightly under the light, causing Liu Du to feel intoxicated from watching it, yearning endlessly, as if this was the kind of life he wanted.

In that instant, he only felt hot blood burning in his chest. A strong killing intent rushed up to Yun Xiao, and his eyes revealed a strange redness.

However, he faintly felt that something was amiss, he forcefully suppressed the agitation in his heart, took a deep breath, and patted Ma Laoban's back. "Go, remember what I said."

After slapping Ma Laoban away with one palm, Liu Du's body did not stop moving, and he directly jumped down from the window.

After leaving the garage, Liu Du did not go to the Blue Nation nor did he go home. Instead, he went straight to his rented house.

The strange feeling that he had just experienced made him extremely vigilant. He had read many books and novels in his life, which reminded him of Qi deviation.

So he had to find out.

Thinking about Qi deviation, Liu Du could not stay calm no matter what. It was said in novels that if one went berserk, they would lose all of their abilities at best, and if it got serious, they would lose their life.

He had to calm his heart down.

Liu Du secretly warned himself as he sat cross-legged, entering a state of meditation while trying his best to keep all the distracting thoughts out of his mind. However, the moment he entered his meditative state, he felt a suppressed baleful aura pouncing over like a violent storm.

It was like a sea of blood from a volcano, and in his mind, there were countless screams: KILL, KILL, KILL!

On Liu Du's forehead, were dense beads of sweat, and his clothes had already all been drenched.

Today, he had fired twice in a row, and now, he was in Ma Laoban again. He saw flashes of blades and flashes of sword shadows, and there was an increase in his cultivation, but his mental state had not kept up, which was why inner demons were born.

The zhenqi in his body swam about violently, and the Yin and Yang energies twisted together as if they were going to explode. Liu Du's heart was even more anxious, but the more he rushed, the more mistakes he made.

Eating it in his mind caused Liu Du's head to vibrate so hard that his head felt like it was about to split open. Like thousands of nails, they pierced into his skull.

The fusion of yin and yang into one made the zhenqi become even more violent, fiercely attacking its innate meridians, but the qualitative change caused a disproportionate change in its quality. The zhenqi increased in number by several times, causing the originally unstoppable meridians to become extremely narrow due to the sudden increase in the number of zhenqi s.

It was just like a road that could allow four cars to pass, but eight or ten cars could be squeezed in at the same time, moving side by side.

"Phew!"

Liu Du suddenly opened his eyes, which were completely bloodshot. A deathly devouring aura was released from within, and a thick layer of mist was surrounding him as well, but there was a faint tinge of red in his eyes.

It was actually the skin on Liu Du's body that was cracked open, and from the cracks, a trace of fresh blood flowed out. However, in an instant, it had been evaporated into a blood mist by the high temperature.

"Ah …"

It was as if his entire body was submerged in sulfuric acid, and like a large piece of skin, it was forcefully torn apart by the immense power. The pain was even more so, his internal organs were oozing with spots of blood, and mixed with the wild flow of zhenqi in his body, causing Liu Du's body to instantly swell to three to four times its original size, like a ball that had been blown up.

Heave, heave, heave...

It swelled up crazily, and blood poured out from all over his body, dyeing his clothes red.

Is it going to end soon? Was it going to break just like that?

At the last moment, Liu Du suddenly woke up from his stupor. He laughed in his heart, and only one thought remained, "I have not lived enough, I don't want my whole body to explode and die!"

It was unknown whether his shout had helped or the small cauldron had been strongly summoned by his will.

In front of his head, the small cauldron that he had not seen for a long time suddenly appeared, and quickly rotated, releasing a faint light. In just a moment, Liu Du felt that the pain in his body had lessened greatly.

"Clang …"

An ancient and vast sound, accompanied with countless of years of lingering sound, suddenly came out from the ancestor's head. It was as if the sound was enlightened, as though it suddenly woke Liu Du up from his endless killing intent and madness.

"Phew …"

Liu Du exhaled a long breath. His expanding body also shrank down a little, and the berserk zhenqi in his body calmed down a little as well.

Just like this, after who knows how many breaths had passed, Liu Du finally returned to normal after a long while.

Looking back into his body, the Yin Yang Qi had disappeared, and what replaced it was a black and white zhenqi, using some mysterious method that was difficult to explain, moving freely in his body.

"Phew …"

Liu Du spat out another mouthful of impure Qi, he woke up from his meditation, covered his head in cold sweat, and still had lingering fear in his heart.

Suddenly, he let out a soft sigh. "I really nearly lost my life this time. I really need to pay more attention to this."

And then he laughed at himself, "I didn't expect it to be a blessing in disguise. My martial arts have improved a bit more, reaching the peak of the Dark Jing. I am just a hair away from reaching the inner strength."

His entire body went limp, without any strength left. He didn't care about the blood droplets on his body and went to sleep in his clothes.

The morning sunlight was especially warm as it shone in from the windows. It was warm and gave people a feeling of laziness.

Liu Du raised his hand, and subconsciously blocked it. He took a deep breath in, and laughed: "The feeling of living, is truly wonderful!"

He finished washing up and threw everything on the bed, as well as his clothes, into the washing machine. Only now did he remember that he had switched off his phone last night due to his body.

As soon as the phone was switched on, he saw that there were more than ten missed calls. Just from Zhou Yanhong's call, there were ten of them, and five of them were Chuchu's.

Just as he was thinking about whether he should give Zhou Yanhong a call, a phone call suddenly came in.

"Hello." Liu Du immediately picked up the phone.

"You … why did you have to answer the phone?" On the other side of the phone was Zhou Yanhong's frantic, yet concerned voice.

"Oh, I was so tired last night that I fell asleep as soon as I got back." Liu Du laughed embarrassedly, but he did not say the real reason.

Heavy panting sounds came from the phone, and one could tell that Zhou Yanhong was trying her best to control her emotions.

Liu Du felt apologetic: "Sorry, I'm really too tired."

"T-that's alright. You can rest." Zhou Yanhong did not dare to continue the conversation, afraid that her voice would betray her current feelings.

However, she did not expect Liu Du to have such excellent hearing, and was able to tell that she was worried.

"Ai, I never thought that she and I would actually …" Liu Du put down his phone, and softly muttered to himself as a faint smile hung on his face.

The phone rang again. It was Chuchu.

"Bro, what's wrong? Why didn't you pick up my phone?" As soon as she picked up the phone, she rushed over with a voice full of reproach, anxiety and panic.

"Chuchu, I drank too much yesterday, so …"

"Hmph, is there something going on between you and her?" After experiencing the incident in the chartered room, Chuchu's reliance on Liu Du intensified.

"No, absolutely not." Liu Du firmly said, but felt a wave of guilt.

"I'll go find you right away. You wait for me." Chuchu did not want to wait for even a second, she just wanted to see Liu Du right away.

"I-I'm not home." Liu Du was slightly hesitant, afraid that if Chuchu went back home, it would cause an even bigger misunderstanding.

Chuchu immediately became nervous, "Where are you?"

When Liu Du heard Chuchu's voice, his heart quivered and turned soft, "I'm in the house I rented."

"I'll go find you." After she finished speaking, she immediately hung up, not giving Liu Du the chance to reject.

Liu Du laughed bitterly and looked at the washing machine, sighing.
