what to do
Why don't you bow to him and admit defeat
No, even if he admits defeat, I'm afraid this guy won't let him go. After all, his grandfather's death was caused by the monks of my Li family. This hatred is irreconcilable and he will never forgive himself... But, except for If you admit defeat, is there any way to survive
Li Huai felt the real energy in his Dantian becoming thinner, as if he saw the footsteps of death coming quietly. For a moment, he was anxious and his expression also appeared in a very brief trance.
At this moment, Chen Xi suddenly brightened up and seized this opportunity that he had waited for so hard. He stepped forward, whipped his right fist like a whip, passed through the gap between the sword shadows, and hit Li Huai directly with a bang. chest.
Click! Click!
There was a tooth-aching sound of bone shattering, and a hole suddenly opened in Li Huai's chest. The terrifying power escaping from his fist instantly shattered the bones of his chest, and the internal organs inside were also shattered. Into countless pieces.
puff!
Li Huai opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of thick red blood. His face instantly turned as pale as paper, and his eyes looked at Chen Xi with a hint of shock, resentment, and confusion... extremely complicated.
"I never imagined that you, a simpleton, could become so powerful. It's so ironic!" Li Huai spoke intermittently. As soon as he finished speaking, his head tilted and he died on the spot.
"I planned to kill everyone in your Li family in front of you in the future, but now it's easier for you."
Chen Xi murmured to himself, picked up the pine pattern sword that Li Huai was holding in his hand, and without bothering to look at this guy's body, turned around and walked towards the golden lotus.
The ancestral home of the Li family in Songyan City.
It is said that the ancestral house contains the most superior martial arts techniques passed down from the ancestors of the Li family to this day, as well as many magical elixirs used for practice.
But at the same time, there are also extremely cruel various training programs in the ancestral house, which can torture people to the point of leaving their bodies, making life worse than death.
But in the minds of all the children of the Li family, the ancestral home is still the holy land of cultivation that they long for most. As long as they can become stronger, endure a little hardship, and endure some pain, what does it mean
It's a pity that the ancestral home is the core of the Li family after all. Non-direct descendants and clan members with extremely outstanding qualifications have no hope of entering the ancestral home in their lifetime.
Today, the door to the ancestral home that had been closed for months slowly opened.
again and again! again and again! again and again!
A burst of steady and powerful footsteps sounded in the dark and deep corridor of the ancestral house. A moment later, a young man walked out of the darkness. It was Li Ming, the youngest son of Li Yizhen, the head of the Li family!
But at this time, he looked like a completely different person than before. His clothes were slovenly, his hair was unkempt, and he looked like he hadn't taken a shower in months. His fair skin was rough and dark, and his triangular eyes that were originally swollen and frivolous have now become like falcons. It's cold, sharp, and radiant.
"It turns out that the feeling of having power is so wonderful."
He clenched his fists. His once white palms were now covered with calluses and had thick bones. As soon as he clenched his fists, a fierce and vicious aura suddenly came out of his body.
"Second Young Master, the master of the house invites you to come over."
The iron hand shrouded in a black shadow walked out of the darkness, and its sharp and cold voice was like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark.
"Uncle Iron Hand, please lead the way." Li Ming said respectfully. It wasn't until he had the power at this moment that he finally understood how terrifying this Iron Hand, who had been following his father and was willing to act as a shadow, was.
In the main hall of the Li family, Li Yizhen was sitting in the center, with many elders of the Li family on both sides. Seeing Li Ming come in, everyone's eyes fell on him.
Li Ming could feel the shock and disbelief in these eyes. This feeling was wonderful and he enjoyed it extremely. However, his face was calm and he walked calmly. After bowing his hands in greeting, he sat silently in his seat.
"It takes three months to reach from the acquired realm to the innate perfection. Not bad, not bad."
The Great Elder Li Fengtu was the first to speak, with a sense of joy in his expression, and said with a smile: "Now that Li Huai has followed Miss Su into the Southern Barbarian Underworld for a month, I am afraid that he has found the Sword Immortal Cave. If he can get some opportunities there, , that would be perfect. Yizhen, you gave birth to two good sons!"
"The great elder is so complimentary." Li Yizhen was overjoyed to receive the great elder's approval.
Li Fengtu smiled, then looked solemn, and said in a deep voice: "The reason why I called everyone here this time is actually very simple. It is to finalize the successor of our Li family. Although Li Ming is good, he is a bit young after all. There is still a big gap between me and Li Huai. I propose that Li Huai inherit the position of clan leader. What do you think?"
"The great elder has a keen eye. Li Huai is indeed good. His talent and intelligence are also outstanding among his peers."
"Well, I also agree that Li Huai will inherit the position of patriarch."
"Haha, of course it has to be Li Huai. When he came back from the Southern Barbarian Underworld this time, he might have captured Miss Su's confidence and facilitated the marriage relationship between our Li family and the Longyuan Su family. In this way, the status of our Li family is not A rising tide lifts all boats?”
All the elders agreed with the opinion of the great elder Li Fengtu.
Seeing this, Li Ming, who was sitting silently beside him, felt extremely uncomfortable.
In the past, he would not have cared about these things at all, because he was too weak and could not be compared with Li Huai, who was like the proud son of heaven.
But it's different now. He already has great power. Although he is still not as good as Li Huai, who can be sure that he will not be able to surpass Li Huai in the future
"Since everyone agrees with Li Huai, let's... huh?" Before the great elder Li Fengtu finished speaking, the main hall door was suddenly pushed open violently.
Butler Wu stumbled in with a frightened expression, knelt down and shouted: "Master, elders, something serious has happened! Master Li Huai's life lantern... has gone out!"
Snap!
The tea cup in Li Yizhen's hand fell to the ground and shattered into a puddle of powder.
Li Huai is actually dead
Everyone's expressions changed, becoming as gloomy as water. Suddenly, the atmosphere in the hall became extremely dull.
This clan meeting was originally held to determine the identity of the heir to the Li Huai family. However, before the results were announced, they were informed of the death of Li Huai. Who could accept such a sudden change
"Did any accident happen in the Nanman Underworld?"
"How is it possible? Li Huai was with Miss Su. It is said that there were seven or eight children of Longyuan City's powerful forces accompanying him. How could he be killed?"
"Damn it, if you let me know who harmed Huai'er, I will destroy his entire clan!"
After a brief silence, angry shouts resounded throughout the main hall.
"Shut up!"
The Great Elder Li Fengtu shouted loudly, and when everyone shut their mouths, he said coldly: "As you all know, the trial in the Southern Barbarian Underworld only lasts for one month, and after one month, all the monks in it will be teleported out. Only those who enter the Sword Immortal Cave can continue to stay in the Southern Barbarian Underworld."
"And the next time the Nanman Underworld will be opened is three years from now, so no matter how angry we are now, we won't see the murderer in these three years. So, is there any point in talking about this now?"
"What do you mean by the great elder?" Li Yizhen said in a low and hoarse voice, holding back the grief of losing his beloved son.
"The most urgent task is to choose the heir of the family. Since Li Huai is no longer here, let Li Ming take over the responsibility." Li Fengtu took a deep breath and said word by word: "Everyone, losing a clan member is nothing. What's important is But we can’t just immerse ourselves in grief and make our loved ones angry and our enemies happy!”
"Here!" Everyone looked solemn and agreed in unison.
Li Ming looked at everything in front of him in disbelief. I became the heir of the family so easily
He was neither sad nor excited about the death of his brother Li Huai, because he had lived under the light of Li Huai since childhood, and the relationship between the two brothers was not very good.
But when he thought that he became the heir of the family because of Li Huai's death, he felt as if he had eaten a fly, feeling sick and uncomfortable.
This is not what I want!
Li Huai shouted in his heart that he already has power, and he is no worse than Li Huai. One day, I will prove it to you!
"Li Ming!"
The Great Elder's voice rang in his ears. Li Ming woke up from his complicated thoughts, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Great Elder."
"Don't think that the heir of the family can definitely take the position of clan leader. You need to prove yourself with your strength and prove it to all the clan members. Only by gaining everyone's approval can you become a qualified clan leader!" the great elder said solemnly. .
Li Ming's eyes swept over his father and the elders, and he felt a surge of pride in his heart. He said sonorously: "Father, elders, I will definitely live up to your expectations!"
Speaking of this, Li Ming pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and continued: "Since my brother is no longer here, from today on, I have decided to replace him. Not only will I be the leader of the clan, I will also work with Su from the Longyuan Su family. The sweet girl is getting married!”
"Oh, what are you going to do?" Li Fengtu's eyes flashed with a strange luster.
"Since the Longyuan Su family has agreed that as long as they humiliate Chen Xi's family to death, they will betroth Miss Su Jiao to my Li family. Then I will start from this aspect."
Li Ming replied without hesitation: "Of course, my brother Li Huai has been doing this plan, but please don't worry, Great Elder, I will do it more ruthlessly and better than my brother. As long as anyone has anything to do with Chen Xi's family, I will I won’t let anything go!”
"Do you have a goal?" Li Fengtu asked.
"Yes! The owner of Zhang's Grocery Store in Songyan City, and all the talisman-making apprentices under him, as well as all the neighbors within a hundred feet of Chen Xi's home."
A trace of madness flashed in Li Ming's eyes, "I want them all to die and be destroyed. I want to tell everyone in Songyan City that they all died because of Chen Xi. I want everyone to know that with Chen Xi Even if there is even the slightest connection with Xi, the family is destined to be destroyed!"
What a vicious and extreme character!
The elders present took a deep breath in their hearts, and looked at Li Ming with a hint of worry. Is such a temperament suitable for inheriting the position of clan leader
"good!"
The Great Elder Li Fengtu was silent for a long time, but unexpectedly he clapped his hands and praised, "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. The strong is respected. As long as it is beneficial to my Li family, no matter how ruthless the method is, it is worth it!"
