Rebirth of the Peak Young Master
Chapter 353: A Lifetime of Sighs

Chapter 353: Chapter 353: A Lifetime of Sighs

Unexpectedly, he started by using the Bone Marrow Maggot, ensuring Yang Tian would suffer immensely, slowly tormented to death.

Thinking of this, Xiong could only watch Yang Tian with a gaze full of pity, as Xiong had been blocked from intervening.

In Xiong’s eyes, he had earlier suggested Yang Tian leave, but he refused. So, it was only fair to blame fate for what was coming.

"Sigh... Han people are truly foolish, aren’t they? When they don’t have to die, they somehow manage to find their own death. If he’d listened to my advice, none of this would’ve happened." Xiong sighed inwardly.

In the blink of an eye, a black line darted toward Yang Tian, and Yang Tian caught it with one hand.

"Haha! Using your bare hands to catch it?! Han people truly are idiots!"

Seeing Yang Tian’s action, a young man from the New Miao Clan sneered mockingly.

When confronting Poisonous Maggots, one can only evade or counter them with tools specifically designed to handle their venomous assault. Letting these maggots stick to your body is absolutely unthinkable.

Because their venom isn’t a dead poison—it’s alive!

Once it makes contact with the body, it will immediately infiltrate it. Once the maggots invade, there’s no cure!

This was common sense to everyone in the Miao Clan.

At that moment, Yang Tian actually grabbed the Bone Marrow Maggot with his bare hands, naturally eliciting ridicule.

Other young people from the New Miao Clan laughed as well.

Years of adhering to the village’s strict rules, where avoiding outsiders and staying within the Southern Border was the norm, fostered deep resentment among these young people. They harbored hostility toward the Han Clan, even viewing Han people as enemies.

Seeing an enemy fall victim to poison filled them with glee.

One particularly arrogant youth regarded Yang Tian with disdain, laughing coldly, "Indeed, a complete idiot, daring to catch Poisonous Maggots directly with his bare hands. Haha, it seems it won’t be long before we hear his agonized screams echoing everywhere!"

As he spoke, Guo Chong leisurely approached Yang Tian, raising his head arrogantly and commanding, "Boy, kneel before me, and perhaps I’ll let you die with a little less suffering. Otherwise, you’ll wait to endure the agony of the maggots eating into your bone marrow!"

With that, Guo Chong kicked toward Yang Tian’s knees.

This kick made it clear he didn’t mind inflicting some pain on Yang Tian before the maggots began their poisonous assault.

However, in the moment Guo Chong’s foot extended toward Yang Tian, his eyes suddenly blinked in confusion. Yang Tian had disappeared from view.

This discovery startled him.

But before he could react, a sudden, fierce force struck from behind, sending him flying uncontrollably forward, crashing to the ground a short distance away. He lay there for quite a while, unable to get up.

Meanwhile, Yang Tian reappeared where he had originally been standing, nonchalantly, as though nothing had happened.

He simply turned to Xiong and asked, "Take me to the elder."

At this moment, Xiong Qian was profoundly shocked. Yang Tian had not only evaded Guo Chong’s attack but also managed to send him flying.

It should be noted that among the New Miao Clan, everyone practiced martial arts. While Guo Chong wasn’t the most skilled, he was certainly not someone ordinary people could contend with.

Yet this man had easily subdued Guo Chong?

Xiong’s astonishment was short-lived, however. She quickly noticed the Bone Marrow Maggot clinging to Yang Tian’s palm.

As long as the maggot penetrated his body, his life would be entirely under the mercy of its venom. Even if Yang Tian was a master of the Han Clan, how could he survive that?

It was impossible.

Moreover, she had no intention of helping Yang Tian, given her alliance with Guo Chong and the tensions surrounding her clan.

So, without hesitation, Xiong Qian retorted, "You want to see the elder? You’d better focus on your own predicament first. The Bone Marrow Maggot doesn’t have a pleasant bite. Soon enough, even a Han Clan master like you will meet his end!"

"Bone Marrow Poison?"

Yang Tian listened, then smiled faintly, extending his palm toward Xiong Qian. "Are you talking about this?" he asked.

Xiong Yan had initially been impatient and dismissive of Yang Tian, but she couldn’t help but freeze in shock as she peered at his palm.

Because there, a black insect squirmed frantically, its sharp mandibles snapping as it tried to burrow into Yang Tian’s flesh.

But each time it bit, the sound of metal clashing rang out, causing its mandibles to shatter repeatedly. The maggot twisted even more violently as though suffering from its futile efforts.

Even the ferocious Bone Marrow Maggot couldn’t pierce this man’s skin. Was it broken?

Was this man’s skin made of iron?

But... even iron should never withstand the biting force of one of Southern Border’s ten most venomous creatures.

For a moment, Xiong felt her worldview collapsing entirely.

Someone dared to confront a poison-based creature with bare flesh, and even the venomous beast couldn’t harm him?

This man in front of her couldn’t possibly be human.

As Xiong wrestled with disbelief, Guo Chong climbed to his feet.

His expression darkened, his face contorted with humiliation.

As the most formidable talent among the New Miao Clan’s youth, he had been humiliated so severely by an unknown Han man, reduced to disgrace.

What could be more shameful?

Nothing.

So, Guo Chong suddenly roared fiercely, "How dare you lay a hand on me, you worthless maggot?! It seems you’re itching to taste the pain of having Bone Marrow Maggots eat you alive!"

Saying this, Guo Chong gently tapped the drum hanging on his waist—a tool clearly meant to control the maggots.

"Wait!"

Xiong Qian quickly shouted, trying to stop him.

She knew this tactic wouldn’t work on Yang Tian.

Even if Guo Chong unleashed his methods with the drum, it would be futile against a man immune to the maggots’ venom.

But Guo Chong, stubborn and enraged, ignored her warning, his lips curling into a menacing smile. "I’ll have him dead! Xiong Qian, don’t interfere!"

"Sigh... so stubborn," Yang Tian remarked, exhaling softly as he suddenly clenched his fist atop the maggot. In an instant, the maggot exploded violently.

Guo Chong froze as if struck by lightning, his entire body trembling uncontrollably. Then, he collapsed lifelessly to the ground, his eyes wide with disbelief.

"Guo Chong!"

Everyone turned in shock toward the scene, staring at his fallen form.

Xiong Qian rushed to Guo Chong’s side, her face pale with worry, though she dared not approach him too closely.

She alone knew what Yang Tian had just done.

That maggot wasn’t ordinary—it was Guo Chong’s lifeblood.

The Miao Clan’s ability to control Poisonous Maggots stemmed from their bodily bond with female maggots. Whenever they commanded maggots with venom during battles, these female maggots issued commands to ensure control over their swarm.

If the female maggot was subjected to special destruction...

While these creatures provided immense power, they were also double-edged swords.

Once a bonded maggot was destroyed, the Miao Clan member would inevitably face the backlash of the female maggot, especially if bonded by lifeblood!

The moment Yang Tian crushed the maggot,

Guo Chong fell victim to the mother-maggot’s vicious retaliation!

Xiong Qian understood that trying to intervene at this point would not save him—it would only provoke the mother-maggot’s aggression, hastening Guo Chong’s demise, or even targeting her.

The others, realizing Guo Chong’s uncontrollable spasms were due to the mother-maggot’s backlash, gawked in terror.

Rushing to action, they cried out, "Quick! Call the elder! Call the elder!"

A few young Miao Clan members sprinted toward the distant council hall.

Soon enough, several middle-aged members of the clan raced back to the scene.

One particularly dignified elder, upon assessing Guo Chong’s condition, calmly extended his hand. Blue threads emerged from his fingertips, piercing into Guo Chong’s body.

With the injection of the blue threads, Guo Chong finally ceased his spasms, settling into a deep slumber.
