Crippling Cultivation, Releasing Skyflame Phoenix Blood

"Explanation? What explanation do you want?"

Qin Anlan lightly extended his hand, and a phantom claw formed around him.

He directly grabbed Liu Ruyan's throat and lifted her into the air.

"Let go of me, hurry... hurry and let me go."

Liu Ruyan felt her breathing become difficult, her small face turning red.

She wanted to resist.

But her meager strength gave her no chance to even try.

Slap!

What awaited Liu Ruyan was another crisp slap.

Slap, slap...

More than ten consecutive slaps landed mercilessly on Liu Ruyan's face, making her question her entire life.

"Good, good, much better this way."

Qin Anlan stroked his chin, admiring his handiwork.

The burning pain on her face made Liu Ruyan feel somewhat frantic.

Although she couldn't see, Liu Ruyan could clearly feel it.

Her cheeks were red and swollen from Qin Anlan's blows.

A complex mix of emotions surged within her.

In the end, it could only turn into rage.

Damn Qin Anlan.

Stupid simpering dog.

He actually dared to hit her, Liu Ruyan.

Her proud head was forcibly lifted.

What awaited Liu Ruyan was another round of brutal blows.

Liu Ruyan's proud head finally lowered, unable to bear looking.

Drip...

A crystal-clear tear dropped onto the floor.

"Crying? You still have the nerve to cry."

Qin Anlan looked at Liu Ruyan calmly, a playful smile still on his face.

Crying, making a scene, threatening suicide.

Such a cliché act, and she dared to pull it in front of him, Qin Anlan.

After consuming so many things from my Divine Marquis of Zhenguo household, you can't take a couple of hits?

Qin Anlan clenched his fist, gathered his strength, and struck Liu Ruyan directly in the abdomen.

Liu Ruyan's battered body, like a tattered sack, flew out in a parabola for hundreds of meters, landing on a palace.

Rumble!

An explosion sounded.

The magnificent palace, unable to bear the insult, collapsed directly, burying Liu Ruyan within.

When the guards dragged Liu Ruyan out, she was spitting blood, her face pale, and she was on the verge of death.

Still unyielding, she glared at Qin Anlan with resentment.

"Staring at me? You dare to stare at me?"

"After consuming so many of this Young Lord's resources, you think you can just break off the engagement?"

"Don't you advocate for love above all else, willing to give up everything for love?"

Qin Anlan's words were forceful.

Killing intent surged around him.

Sensing the abnormality of the situation and rushing over to investigate, the many guards were all trembling in fear.

Has the Young Lord truly risen?

"Where is Tu Xiu?"

"Your subordinate is here!"

Tu Xiu quickly cupped his hands, his heart filled with joy.

Seeing the Young Lord discipline this woman who didn't know her place, Tu Xiu also felt a surge of excitement.

He naturally understood what needed to be done next.

Liu Ruyan's good days were over.

The end of the entire Liu Family had arrived.

"Drag this bitch away immediately and cripple all her cultivation."

"Strip her of her roots and drain all the Skyflame Phoenix Blood from her body."

"Then, throw this bitch outside the Marquis's mansion and announce to the world that I, this Young Lord, am breaking off my engagement with Liu Ruyan from today onwards. And I am officially declaring war on the Liu Family."

As Qin Anlan's words fell, he didn't spare Liu Ruyan another glance.

According to the typical plot, facing an arrogant and conceited female lead like Liu Ruyan, Qin Anlan would have to employ a series of tactics to suppress her step by step, perhaps even making her his servant.

But Qin Anlan was no ordinary person.

He was the Young Lord of the prestigious Divine Marquis of Zhenguo.

What woman couldn't he have if he wanted one?

A woman like Liu Ruyan, who was arrogant, looked down on everyone, and had no idea of her own limitations.

Even if she were given to him for free, Qin Anlan wouldn't be interested.

Let alone wasting his thoughts on her.

Upon hearing this, Tu Xiu couldn't help but gasp.

He was still somewhat shocked.

Although his Young Lord wasn't a kind-hearted person either.

And acts of ruthlessness, like wiping out entire families, were not uncommon.

But for Liu Ruyan, who was standing before them, it was true love.

Crippling her cultivation, stripping her roots, and extracting her Skyflame Phoenix Blood.

Back then, to improve Liu Ruyan's roots and physique, and for her to cultivate a special constitution, Qin Anlan had specifically gifted her the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's treasured Bone-Severing Finger and the blood of a seventh-tier divine beast, the Fire Phoenix.

Was he now planning to forcibly reclaim these things?

Even though those two treasures had already been refined by Liu Ruyan.

If certain methods were employed, they could be stripped away again, allowing for a second use.

Liu Ruyan had consumed countless heavenly treasures from Qin Anlan's Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's mansion; her entire being was a treasure trove.

It was time for Liu Ruyan to regurgitate everything she had consumed over the years.

"As you command!"

Facing Qin Anlan's order, Tu Xiu did not dare to hesitate and obediently agreed.

He grabbed Liu Ruyan by her hair and dragged her broken body away.

Liu Ruyan, forcibly dragged away by Tu Xiu, widened her eyes in disbelief.

"Let go of me, you damnable dogs! How dare you draw my blood!"

"You just wait! Senior Brother Ye Qingyun won't let you go! He will kill you all!"

"Please, let me go! Please, let me go!"

Watching her Skyflame Phoenix Blood continuously drain away, Liu Ruyan first let out a series of hysterical screams.

Then, it turned into desperate pleas.

At this moment, she finally knew fear.

Her heart was filled with dread and regret.

If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have come to break off the engagement.

Under the title of future wife of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Young Lord, she had enjoyed boundless glory.

She had whatever she desired.

But Tu Xiu, after receiving Qin Anlan's command, didn't waste any more words.

Still expressionless, he precisely executed Qin Anlan's orders.

Not only did he cripple Liu Ruyan's cultivation, but he also drained all the Skyflame Phoenix Blood from her body.

He then stripped her of her spiritual roots, turning Liu Ruyan into a cripple.

After this whole ordeal, Liu Ruyan had already fainted.

"This woman, apart from her pretty face, is utterly useless."

"If it weren't for relying on the Young Master's favor, I would have skinned you alive and torn you to shreds long ago."

Looking at Liu Ruyan, who had been reduced to a cripple, Tu Xiu felt a great sense of satisfaction.

He had long disliked Liu Ruyan.

In fact, the entire Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's estate disliked Liu Ruyan.

If it weren't for Qin Anlan's sake, Liu Ruyan wouldn't have lived this long.

After finishing all this.

Tu Xiu dragged the limp, dog-like Liu Ruyan and threw her fiercely.

He directly tossed Liu Ruyan outside the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's estate.

"Did you see that? The Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's estate just threw something out."

"What was it? Maybe it's something they didn't want."

"That's something from the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's estate! Even trash to them is a treasure to us."

"You're right, let's go check it out quickly. We might miss out if others get there first."

Outside the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's estate.

The two Liu Family elders responsible for protecting Liu Ruyan were still chattering amongst themselves.

The two of them quickly went to where the object had landed.

They excitedly thought they had found a treasure.

However, the scene that greeted their eyes made them both turn pale with shock.

"It's... it's the Second Miss."

The Liu Family elder had initially thought that the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's estate had thrown out some trash and that he could pick up a treasure.

He never expected that the trash they threw out would actually be their Liu Family's Second Miss.

Looking at her current state, she seemed to have endured inhuman torture, to the point where she would rather be dead than alive.

They turned their heads, intending to find someone from the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's estate to argue with.

But they found that the guards protecting the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's estate were filled with killing intent, staring at them intently.

That palpable murderous aura made the two Liu Family elders tremble in fear.
