chapter 1 Digging out bones and replacing marrow

"The young master is seriously injured, the cold poison has penetrated into the marrow, and it is difficult to cure with medicine or stone!"

"Unless a close relative can dig out the bones and replace the marrow, they can recover. But although the lives of those whose bones were dug out are not in danger, they will never be able to practice martial arts again..."

Fengyang City, the Taylor Family.

Upon hearing the doctor's diagnosis, Konrad Taylor turned pale and turned to look around.

"My son Caoimhin Taylor's life is at stake. Which of you is willing to donate his marrow?"

There was silence.

In this world, the weak eat the strong, and strength is respected.

Having their bones dug out and their marrow replaced is equivalent to being turned into trash, and they will never be able to make a difference from now on.

Therefore, no matter how great the benefits are, no one is willing.

"The head of the family and everyone present are all direct descendants of my the Taylor Family and future pillars. It would be an unbearable pain to lose any of them!"

"If the young master can be saved only by marrow replacement, there is a very suitable candidate!"

At this time, someone spoke.

"Mauro Taylor's son, Temeni Taylor!"

As soon as this statement came out.

Everyone present was brightened.

They all agreed:

"Yes, Temeni Taylor is also a direct bloodline the Taylor Family, and meets the requirements for intimacy."

"Moreover, he was born with closed meridians and was originally a waste that could not be cultivated. It is an honor for him to have the opportunity to serve the Taylor Family."

"The most important thing is that his father Mauro Taylor went deep into the wilderness ten years ago. Now there is no news. He is probably dead. No one will care about the life and death of a waste. It's just a good use of waste..."

You say something to everyone, and I say something.

Temeni Taylor's fate seems to have been decided.

The head of the family, Konrad Taylor, frowned slightly when he heard this. Although Mauro Taylor had made great contributions to the family back then, it was already in the past. The Lin family had raised Temeni Taylor for ten years, and it was time for him to repay the favor.

Think of this.

Konrad Taylor said: "Send someone to bring Temeni Taylor."

…

At this time, outside Fengyang City.

In a dilapidated courtyard.

A young man is practicing his sword under the rising sun.

He was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, tall and tall. He was wearing a simple green shirt and holding a long sword. His whole person seemed to be integrated with the sharp sword in his hand.

The body moves with the sword.

Point, prick, tease, pick...

The sword light flashed.

Although they are only the simplest basic swordsmanship, in the hands of the young man, they feel a bit smooth.

It's natural and perfect.

There is no trace of craftsmanship at all.

It is obvious that he has practiced basic swordsmanship to an extremely high level.

This young man is Temeni Taylor.

Ben is the son of Mauro Taylor , the previous head of the Taylor Family . He has been smart since he was a child and has considerable talent in swordsmanship.

But he was born with closed meridians, unable to draw spiritual energy into his body, and truly embarked on martial arts practice.

Ten years ago, Mauro Taylor to find medicine for his son, but there was no news from him.

After Konrad Taylor became the head of the family, he did not miss his old friendship at all. He drove Temeni Taylor and his sister Arlene Taylor out of the Taylor Family, cut off the monthly supply, and left them to fend for themselves.

Temeni Taylor had a very hard life in the past ten years.

From the age of nine, he had to be self-reliant and take care of his sister who suffered from cold illness since childhood.

He farmed and hunted every day, and had to work in shops in the city in exchange for a meager remuneration to buy medicine for his sister.

But even so hard.

Temeni Taylor also spends two hours every day practicing swordsmanship.

His meridians are closed and he cannot draw spiritual energy into his body. He can only make himself stronger through sword practice.

Even in desperate situations, he never gave up.

"It's just a little bit short. As long as I can cultivate the basic swordsmanship to its peak and perfection, maybe I can hatch the sword seed in my body!"

Temeni Taylor stopped.

I only felt a faint tingling sensation in my lower abdomen.

It seemed like a sharp sword was about to break out of the shell.

No one knew that Temeni Taylor's Dantian Qi sea contained a mysterious sword seed.

This kind of sword seems to be innate.

It is also because of its existence that Temeni Taylor meridians around his body are sealed, as if to protect the sword seed, so that he cannot draw the spiritual energy into his body. He can only continue to cultivate and hatch it with his own essence and blood through sword practice.

To this day.

A whole nineteen years.

Temeni Taylor could gradually feel that the sword was throbbing.

Like a heartbeat.

This is his only hope to become stronger.

"I can feel that the sword species is recovering, and it should be unsealed in these two days. After nineteen years of waiting and hard work, I hope you won't let me down!"

Temeni Taylor prayed secretly in his heart.

"Brother, you have been practicing for an hour. Let's take a rest and drink some water."

At this moment.

A beautiful girl came out.

She was wearing a simple floral dress with her hair tied back. Due to years of illness, she was slightly thin and pale, but her facial features were very delicate and she was a beautiful woman.

This woman is none other than sister Arlene Taylor.

"It's okay, I'm not tired yet. Once you master the swordsmanship and have the skills, I can make more money and help you cure your disease as soon as possible."

Temeni Taylor took the bowl and smiled fondly.

When Lin Yu heard this, his eyes darkened, and he said with some distress: "Brother, I have been the one who has dragged you down all these years..."

"What nonsense are you talking about! Although you and I are not related by blood, we have been dependent on each other since childhood and have been part of each other's lives for a long time. Why should we be a drag?"

"I just don't want to see you working so hard and there's nothing I can do to help..."

"Stop thinking nonsense. You are weak and don't have enough air. Go back and have a good rest. This will be the greatest help to me. When I master the swordsmanship, I will definitely be able to cure your illness."

"Um."

Coax Arlene Taylor back to the room.

Temeni Taylor gathered his thoughts, held the sword again, and was about to practice some more.

But at this time.

boom--

The courtyard door was violently knocked open.

The manager the Taylor Family, with a few thugs, swaggered in.

"A member of the Taylor Family?"

Temeni Taylor frowned slightly when he saw this.

Since their father disappeared, the Taylor Family kicked the brothers and sisters out of the compound and ignored them ever since.

It’s been ten years now.

Unexpectedly, the Taylor Family came to visit today.

Could it be that there is news about his father?

Thinking of this, Temeni Taylor did not blame the other party for being rude when he broke in. He said, "It turns out to be Manager Li. Do you have anything to do with me?"

The manager of the Taylor Family is a relative of the Lin family, named Barnabas.

He was originally just a lowly gangster, but he got a managerial position thanks to his sister marrying into the Taylor Family.

"Temeni Taylor, ​​it turns out you're not dead yet. Very good. Come back to the Taylor Family with me."

Barnabas glanced at his surroundings with disgust.

Then he said coldly.

His tone was rather cold and arrogant, with a condescending tone, as if he was giving an order.

This made Temeni Taylor very unhappy.

A mere relative was in charge. Back then, all he could do was grovel in front of him.

Now, he is so domineering.

However, ten years of miserable life had long since smoothed Temeni Taylor's edges, giving him a mind far beyond that of his peers.

So it didn't happen.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, he asked: "Why are you asking me to go back to the Taylor Family? Is there any news about my father?"

"Your father? I'm afraid he died a long time ago. Is there any news about him?"

Li Yang sneered when he heard this.

"I am here today on the order of the master of the family to take you back to the Taylor Family and let you heal the young master's injuries. This is your honor. Stop talking nonsense and come with me!"

"You want me to heal Caoimhin Taylor injuries?"

Temeni Taylor frowned slightly.

In the eyes of the Taylor Family, he is just a useless person who cannot cultivate and is worthless.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been abandoned for so many years.

Now you suddenly come to your door and you want me to help heal your injuries and illnesses?

It's definitely nothing good.

Thinking of this, Temeni Taylor said: "Caoimhin Taylor is injured? Ha, I'm not a doctor, and I'm not a pharmacist. Why are you looking for me? I'm afraid there's nothing you can do to help."

The implication is to shirk.

When Li Yang heard this, he sneered coldly: "Of course I know you are a waste, who would really expect you to do anything? To let you go back, you need to donate your blood and marrow, dig out the bones and replace the marrow for the young master! You are like this Waste, it only has this little use left."

What?

So you want me to dig out the bones and replace the marrow?

Temeni Taylor was shocked and angry.

He has also heard of this therapy of bone excavation and marrow replacement.

It involves digging out a section of a person's spine, taking out the blood marrow, and replacing it with the injured person.

Doing so will not endanger your life.

But if a section of the spine is removed and the blood marrow is depleted, it is equivalent to completely cutting off the path to martial arts.

That is the ladder to reach the gods in the future!

No one wants to lose.

Thinking about it, no one in the Taylor Family was willing to sacrifice, so Konrad Taylor thought of himself as a "waste"?

ridiculous.

I thought that there was news about my father, or the conscience the Taylor Family found out,

Only then did I find myself.

Unexpectedly, he wanted to dig out his own bone marrow!

How could Temeni Taylor destroy his foundation?

He immediately shook his head and said: "I was expelled from the Taylor Family ten years ago, and now I have nothing to do with the Taylor Family. Your young master is about to die, but he came to me, which is simply ridiculous!"

"Um?"

When Barnabas heard this, his eyes suddenly froze.

He said loudly: "Temeni Taylor, ​​you'd better not be ignorant of good and evil. A waste like you has no value in this world. It's your blessing to be able to replace your dirty blood marrow with the young master." !”

"Don't worry, the head of the family has said that he will not treat you badly. As long as you are willing to contribute your blood marrow, you can return to the Taylor Family and enjoy the treatment of a family disciple. In addition, your sister Arlene Taylor can also receive treatment from the family."

Barnabas made conditions.

To be honest, Temeni Taylor was really a little tempted.

Not for myself, but because of my sister's illness.

If she could get funding the Taylor Family and get the best medication to stabilize her condition, it would not necessarily cure her, but it would at least reduce the number of cold poison attacks and make her suffer less.

But here's the thing.

People in the Taylor Family have always been white-eyed wolves.

How can we trust their words?

It is impossible for Temeni Taylor to destroy his future.

Destiny must be in your own hands.

Therefore, he still shook his head and refused: "I have already said that I have nothing to do with the Taylor Family anymore. I will not save your young master, and I do not need charity from the Taylor Family. Please come back!"

"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with alcohol!"

Barnabas also lost patience at this time.

Because excavation of bones and replacement of marrow requires living bodies, it is best to cooperate voluntarily.

That's why he patiently said so much.

Unexpectedly, Temeni Taylor was so shameless.

He also lost his patience.

His face immediately darkened.

"You have to obey the orders of the master of the family, and you have to obey even if you don't!"

Finished.

A big wave of his hand.

Several of the accompanying thugs immediately rolled up their sleeves and rushed forward.

Although these people are not disciples the Taylor Family, they have also practiced some superficial martial arts.

Although it can't deal with real warriors.

But it should be easy to deal with a waste that cannot be cultivated.

But it's a pity.

They thought wrong.

"If inducement fails, are you going to use force? the Taylor Family is too bullying!"

Temeni Taylor eyes were cold and stern.

For the sake of his sister, he has been keeping a low profile and forbearance all these years, and he just wants to get the sword seed to hatch.

Unexpectedly.

Even though he was forbearing and giving in and living a low-key life, some people didn't want to let him go.

If this is the case, then I can’t bear it!

Thinking of this, Temeni Taylor tightened his grip on the sword hilt.

at this time.

The two thugs had already rushed in front of them. They raised their hands and punched them. They used the Taylor Family Fist, which was so powerful and heavy that if they were hit, they would at least break their muscles and bones.

The other party was ruthless, and Temeni Taylor showed no mercy.

His wrist immediately turned.

The sword light pierced the air like lightning.

The two thugs screamed at the same time, blood shot into the sky, and both arms were broken at shoulder level.

The next moment.

Lin Tian's sword moves changed again, a sword flew across the air, and the blade sealed his throat.

"Well--"

The two thugs suddenly froze, staggered, and then fell on their backs.

One hit kill!

Temeni Taylor was merciless.

He has been practicing sword fighting for many years, but today is the first time he actually makes a move.

The sword is a weapon, a weapon for killing.

Take out the sheath and drink blood.

Temeni Taylor didn't feel any discomfort after killing someone for the first time.

On the contrary, there is an inexplicable joy in my heart.

When the swordsman is angry, his blood will flow for thousands of miles. If his mind is clear, his kindness and hatred will be repaid!

Wherever the sword goes, fear nothing!

In a trance.

Temeni Taylor seemed to have some realization.

The sword seed in his body seemed to be throbbing even more intensely at this moment.

It seemed like something was breaking.

"So that's it! Although I worked hard to practice swordsmanship before, I didn't have the heart of a swordsman. I was always forbearing and couldn't understand my mind and conform to the temperament of swordsmanship! Taking action today is a blessing in disguise!"

Temeni Taylor suddenly felt enlightened.

So he was even more merciless.

The long sword is like a dragon, wreaking havoc on the field.

Several the Taylor Family thugs who rushed forward screamed and fell to the ground one after another. Their hands were cut off and their throats were sealed with a sword.

The death was extremely miserable.

"You...you loser, how dare you resist?"

Barnabas was shocked.

He never dreamed that Temeni Taylor would dare to resist and his sword skills would be so fierce.

As soon as he took action, he killed all the men he brought with him.

Watching the other person look at him.

Barnabas was even more panicked.

He was mediocre in ability and had no talent for cultivation at all. He relied on nepotism to become the steward of the Taylor Family. He was usually responsible for some chores and the like.

Where will Temeni Taylor's opponent be?

I originally thought that this trip was just to catch a piece of trash and take it back, it was an easy job.

Who would have thought that he would encounter such a evil star.

"Temeni Taylor! Calm down!"

"I am the manager the Taylor Family. If you kill me, the head of the family will be furious, and my sister will not let you go..."

Barnabas said while stepping back.

Lin Tian sneered when he heard this.

"How did the Taylor Family ever let me go?"

Finished.

The long sword in his hand was horizontal.

The cold light of the sword cut through the throat.

Barnabas opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he just kept feeling blood spurting out. He quickly reached out to cover his neck, but he couldn't stop the blood from flowing out. His body went limp and he fell down.

Temeni Taylor stepped forward and crossed the body.

Then he closed the courtyard door.

He knew that the Taylor Family would never let go of killing Barnabas and his group.

He will bear the wrath of the Taylor Family.

The best choice at this time is to take your sister and escape quickly.

However, he has been holding back for ten years.

This time, Temeni Taylor didn't want to escape.

Because just after killing Barnabas, he felt that the sword seed in his body had completely revived!
