Chapter 194 Mother, What Does It Feel Like to Kill Your Son?

At this moment, Liu Shiyuan also completed the hand seals and suddenly pushed his hands forward. The black runes, like a swarm of black bats, rushed towards Liu Sijun and Li Qing.

Wherever the runes went, the air seemed to be torn apart, emitting a piercing shriek.

Liu Sijun waved the Taixu Mirror, and a soft yet resilient white light screen shot out from the mirror, colliding with the black runes.

In an instant, light burst forth, and powerful spiritual energy surged throughout the hall, overturning tables and chairs and causing cracks to appear in the walls.

Taking advantage of the stalemate between the runes and the light barrier, Li Qing flashed forward like a dazzling bolt of lightning, rushing towards Liu Shiyuan.

He twirled his longsword several times, each strike aimed directly at Liu Shiyuan's vital points.

Liu Shiyuan snorted coldly, his figure flickered, and he transformed into a wisp of black smoke, dodging Li Qing's attack.

Black smoke swirled in the hall, then suddenly rushed towards Liu Sijun from another direction.

Liu Sijun was prepared. She gave a soft shout, and the Taixu Mirror shone brightly. A powerful suction force emanated from the mirror, and the black smoke was quickly drawn into it.

Liu Shiyuan sensed the danger, and the black smoke quickly condensed into a human shape, once again unleashing his evil magic.

A black flame shot out from his palm and burned towards Liu Sijun.

The black flames were extremely hot, burning black craters into the ground wherever they went, and filling the air with a pungent smell of burning.

Liu Sijun channeled his spiritual power to form an ice shield in front of him, resisting the invasion of the black flames.

The ice shield sizzled and melted under the scorching heat of the flames.

Upon seeing this, Li Qing immediately turned around, swung his longsword, and shot a sword aura toward Liu Shiyuan.

Liu Shiyuan dodged the sword energy by sidestepping, but unexpectedly, the sword energy bounced back after hitting the wall and attacked him again.

Liu Shiyuan was unable to dodge in time. The sword energy grazed his arm, leaving a wound from which blood flowed freely.

"You wretched creatures, today I will make sure you die without a burial place."

"you dare!"

The protective formation of the courtyard surged, and the old matriarch appeared in the courtyard with Buddhist beads in her hand, followed by two guest elders, one of whom had already broken through to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and become a Dao Lord in the Divine Transformation stage.

"Mother, why do you always protect her? I am your son."

The old lady looked heartbroken: "Look at yourself now, and you'll understand why I protect Jun'er."

"It's all because of this rebellious daughter! She insists on bringing up what happened back then. I did it all for the sake of the Liu family, so that our Liu family could regain its former glory!"

The old matriarch looked at Liu Shiyuan, clutching her chest: "You keep claiming to be doing this for the Liu family, yet you colluded with the Blood Spirit Sect, committing such heinous acts, and even attempted to kill your own daughter. How can you face the ancestors of the Liu family?"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Liu Sijun removed the ice shield, walked to the old lady's side, and said respectfully, "Grandmother, he colluded with the Blood Spirit Sect to kill my mother. The evidence is conclusive, and he must not be let off lightly."

Seeing the old lady pointing at him without any mercy, Liu Shiyuan's anger grew even stronger.

He laughed maniacally: "Since that's the case, then none of you will have an easy time!"

After saying that, Liu Shiyuan ignored the wound on his arm, quickly formed hand seals, and muttered incantations.

As he moved, dark clouds suddenly filled the sky, and streaks of black lightning flashed through the clouds, shrouding the entire Liu residence in a gloomy atmosphere.

Upon seeing this, the guest elder at the Nascent Soul stage exclaimed, "This is bad! He's about to use a forbidden evil technique! We have to stop him!"

The guest elder channeled his spiritual power, and a dazzling golden light emanated from his body. With a flash, he rushed towards Liu Shiyuan like a golden meteor.

At the same time, another retainer swiftly set up a defensive barrier around the Liu residence to prevent Liu Shiyuan's evil magic from spreading and harming innocent people. Seeing the retainer rushing towards him, Liu Shiyuan sneered, "You think you can stop me? Too late!"

Liu Shiyuan plunged his hands into the ground, and the ground instantly cracked open. Streams of black mist surged out from the cracks, and within the mist, grotesque ghost faces appeared, emitting a series of shrill screams.

These ghostly faces, as if they were real, pounced on the guest elder.

A golden longsword appeared in the guest elder's hand. He swung the sword, and the sword energy crisscrossed, shattering the ghost faces that rushed towards him one by one.

However, the ghostly faces kept emerging from the mist, seemingly endless.

The old lady felt incredibly conflicted upon witnessing this scene.

She simply couldn't understand why Liu Shiyuan had taken this step.

Liu Sijun glanced at the old lady and said, "Grandmother, others do not yet know that the head of the Liu family practices evil arts. Once this gets out, the Liu family will become the target of everyone's attacks."

Yes, she was putting pressure on the old lady.

The old lady nodded solemnly: "You're right. If his evil magic succeeds, the consequences will be unimaginable."

He is no longer the same person he used to be; he cannot drag the entire Liu family down with him.

The old matriarch made her move, holding Buddhist prayer beads and chanting incantations. The beads emitted golden light, and layer upon layer of golden spiritual energy surged towards Liu Shiyuan. Together with another guest elder at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, she restrained Liu Shiyuan from the left and right, while another guest elder wielding a golden sword had already gathered his power and swung it fiercely at Liu Shiyuan.

The attacks from everyone, especially the old lady's intervention, fueled his anger.

He increased his spiritual energy output, and the black mist became even denser, while the ghost face became even more ferocious and terrifying.

At the same time, he summoned a huge black demonic hand from the mist and grabbed at the sword-wielding retainer.

Upon seeing this, the guest minister quickly circulated all his spiritual power, forming a golden shield in front of him.

The black demonic hand gripped the shield, producing a piercing scraping sound. The shield flickered with light, seemingly on the verge of shattering.

Just as the situation reached a stalemate, Li Qing suddenly broke through the ghost face's obstruction and came to Liu Shiyuan's side.

He shouted and gathered all his spiritual power into his longsword, thrusting it toward Liu Shiyuan.

Liu Shiyuan sensed the danger and could only dodge.

He channeled his spiritual power, forming a black shield in front of him.

"puff!"

Li Qing's longsword pierced the black shield. At that moment, the guest elder holding the golden sword also swung his sword with all his might, and two sword energies slashed down. The shield trembled violently and cracks appeared.

Liu Shiyuan coughed up a mouthful of blood because of this attack.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Liu Sijun activated the Taixu Mirror again, and the light of the star power became even stronger, directly piercing through the black mist and striking Liu Shiyuan.

Liu Shiyuan was struck by the light, and his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground.

The black mist and ghostly faces vanished instantly after Liu Shiyuan was injured.

The dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and the sun shone again over the Liu residence.

Liu Shiyuan lay on the ground, his breath weak, his eyes filled with resentment.

He looked at Liu Sijun, then at the old lady, and with a defiant grin, asked, "Mother, what does it feel like to kill your own son?"
