The Beautiful CEO's Personal Mad Doctor

Chapter 529: Chapter 529: Master Cheng, I’m Convinced! I’m Truly Convinced

With a thought from Cheng Yuan, the second Divine Thunder struck!

CRACK!

A thunderclap exploded in the void, illuminating the entire Yunxiang Celestial Palace as bright as day!

A bolt of lightning as thick as a child’s arm crashed down, instantly striking Zhong Mingtang!

Zhong Mingtang was like a deflating balloon, gradually returning to his original size.

An expression of utter terror appeared on Zhong Mingtang’s face. He stared at Cheng Yuan in disbelief. ”Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How can your Thunder Technique be so powerful? This is definitely not the Thunder Technique of the Celestial Master Dao!”

”Of course it’s not the Thunder Technique of the Celestial Master Dao. I already told you, I’d let you witness a true Immortal Technique! Again!”

Cheng Yuan raised his hand and pointed again!

In the void, what seemed to be an incredibly dense tribulation cloud appeared!

Streaks of lightning churned restlessly within the cloud. Finally, they coiled together, forming a braided bolt of lightning that came crashing down on Zhong Mingtang!

Zhong Mingtang’s face fell. He hastily raised the wine pot in his hand!

With a sharp CRACK!

The braided bolt of lightning struck the wine pot!

CRACK!

The wine pot shattered into a million pieces, reduced to dust!

Caught in the blast, three of Zhong Mingtang’s fingers were blasted to charcoal. The hair on his body stood on end as he stared at Cheng Yuan in terror.

’So strong!’

’This Thunder Technique is too strong!’

’This was only the third bolt! It already destroyed his Lifebound Magical Artifact and crippled three of his fingers!’

Zhong Mingtang was absolutely certain that if Cheng Yuan unleashed a fourth Divine Thunder, he would be blasted to smithereens!

At the precipice of life and death, Zhong Mingtang could no longer care about his status as a True Master, nor about grudges and hatred. He just wanted to live, even if it meant living like a dog!

THUD!

Zhong Mingtang fell to his knees! He kowtowed to Cheng Yuan repeatedly!

”Master Xiaocheng, no, Master Cheng, spare me! I was wrong! I truly know I was wrong! I beg you to spare my worthless life! I am willing to become your most loyal subordinate! No! I am willing to become your dog, at your beck and call!”

Cheng Yuan snorted coldly. ”You’re a Ghost Cultivator. Why should I believe you?”

”I can swear a Celestial Dao Blood Oath! From this day forward, I will serve Master Cheng to the death!”

”A Celestial Dao Blood Oath? Heh. Not long ago, I was nearly killed by a dog of a slave who had sworn the very same oath! I suppose you also want your friends and family to help you kill me, don’t you?”

With his thoughts exposed by Cheng Yuan, Zhong Mingtang broke out in a cold sweat and kowtowed ceaselessly.

”I wouldn’t dare! This subordinate wouldn’t dare!”

Cheng Yuan took out a medicinal pill, casually tossed it to Zhong Mingtang, and instructed coolly, ”This is a unique poison I’ve refined. No one can cure it but me. Take it. From now on, you will come to me for the antidote once every three months. Otherwise, you will rot from the inside out and die.”

Zhong Mingtang caught the pill and, without any hesitation, tilted his head back and swallowed it.

Unsure if it was a psychological effect, Zhong Mingtang felt a sharp, twisting pain in his gut. The pain then spread rapidly, engulfing his entire body in an instant!

Fortunately, the pain came and went quickly, and the color soon returned to Zhong Mingtang’s face.

Cheng Yuan nodded in satisfaction and said in an even tone, ”Zhong Mingtang, I’m giving you three months to settle your affairs. Then, return to me and await my orders. Of course, you can go to a hospital or find a Divine Doctor. If you can cure the poison, you don’t have to come back!”

”I wouldn’t dare! This subordinate wouldn’t dare go to a hospital! Nor will I seek a Divine Doctor.”

Cheng Yuan snorted coldly. He knew that for all of Zhong Mingtang’s nice words, the man would definitely go to a hospital and would definitely seek out a Divine Doctor.

’Unfortunately, it will all be in vain!’

’Because his pill is no longer in the realm of simple poison; it’s mixed with Witchcraft.’

’If a hospital or a doctor messes with it, they might just get him killed.’

Cheng Yuan gave a dismissive wave of his hand. ”Get lost! Don’t be an eyesore.”

”Yes!”

Zhong Mingtang didn’t dare disobey Cheng Yuan’s command. He slowly rose to his feet and gave Cheng Yuan a deep bow.

Zhong Mingtang had been scared witless by Cheng Yuan. Not even daring to turn his back, he kept facing Cheng Yuan, his body bent, and retreated step by step.

Only when he had retreated all the way to the main entrance of the Yunxiang Celestial Palace did Zhong Mingtang finally turn around and sprint for the stairs!

The bastard was so scared he didn’t even dare wait for the elevator, terrified that Cheng Yuan would change his mind and kill him.

With Zhong Mingtang gone, the black mist enshrouding the chandelier gradually dissipated.

Light returned to the Yunxiang Celestial Palace.

Everyone instinctively squinted. Only then did they realize that the once-pristine Yunxiang Celestial Palace looked as if it had been hit by a typhoon.

Nearly every windowpane was shattered!

Books from the shelves were scattered all over the floor!

There were scorched, blackened craters from the lightning everywhere!

The entire place was in utter shambles!

Cheng Yuan scanned his surroundings, his gaze sweeping across the faces of the crowd.

Whoever Cheng Yuan’s gaze fell upon would instinctively lower their head, not daring to meet his eyes.

It was as if, in that moment, Cheng Yuan was a true god!

Cheng Yuan’s gaze landed on Miao Shijie’s face. Miao Shijie quickly forced a fawning smile, bowing and scraping before Cheng Yuan.

Cheng Yuan suddenly found it a bit dull. He asked coolly, ”Young Chief, you berated me multiple times just now. Why the groveling all of a sudden?”

THUD. Miao Shijie dropped to his knees, admitting defeat completely and utterly.

”Master Cheng, this lowly one was blind and failed to recognize an Immortal Master in my presence! This lowly one is willing to accept any punishment! Even if you were to kill me, I would not have a single complaint!”

Miao Shijie’s attitude pleased Cheng Yuan. He said coolly, ”Miao Shijie, you should be glad that you chose to stand with Duan Lang just now! If you had dared to help that tyrant, you would be a corpse right now!”

Miao Shijie quickly lowered his head. ”From this day forward, Crown Prince Duan is my sworn brother! The Shu Miao Race swears a death oath of loyalty to the Dali Duan Dynasty, to never betray them for all eternity!!”

A smile finally appeared on Cheng Yuan’s face. He made a lifting gesture with his hand. ”Rise.”

A startling force instantly pulled Miao Shijie to his feet, making him even more reverent of Cheng Yuan.

The surrounding crowd watched this scene with complex expressions, unable to describe their feelings.

A moment ago, Cheng Yuan had just been a third-rate Mage in their eyes, perhaps even a bit of a joke.

But this very same third-rate Mage had just shattered their worldview!

Wielding an Immortal Technique, defeating a True Master, subjugating the Shu Miao—he stood aloof from the world like a divine being!

Deciding life and death with a single word!

Before him, these so-called bigwigs of Qian Province were nothing but a joke!

Before him, so-called money and power were nothing but fleeting clouds!

This was a true, peerless expert!

Cheng Yuan slowly turned his head to look at Liu Hong, who had already collapsed to the ground in fear.

Cheng Yuan’s gaze was too sharp. Liu Hong flinched violently as if he’d been stabbed by a needle.

”Master Cheng! This lowly one was just an accomplice! I was coerced by Zhong Mingtang and had no choice but to be his shill! I beg you, seeing as I was forced into it, please spare this lowly one’s worthless life!!”
