The waterwheel stood about two to three stories high, adorned with water talismans and Dragon King symbols, carrying immense power as it crashed into the Black Tortoise Pavilion.
Countless wood splinters flew everywhere, with the first floor of the pavilion nearly smashed through. Wooden pillars snapped, and the waterwheel shattered into pieces!
The Black Tortoise Pavilion, though made of high-quality wood and reinforced with various talismans, was primarily designed to suppress intruders and only partly for strengthening. The waterwheel, being sturdy and enhanced by talismans, collided with it, resulting in mutual destruction!
The Yan family members and servant girls on the first floor were caught off guard, thrown out by the massive impact, with bones breaking and muscles tearing.
Yan Rong, amidst the chaos, was panicked, thinking, "Why is Chen Shi attacking us? Could it be because Yan Qing hired assassins to kill him the other day, and he's here for revenge today?"
As this thought crossed his mind, a sharp whistling sound pierced the air, and Yan Qing was impaled by a wooden splinter!
The splinter, likely from the broken waterwheel, had pierced through Yan Qing's abdomen and out through his spine!
"Sword Piercing Style!"
