Age and experience will always prevail. This saying couldn’t be truer.
This ti, fighting an enemy above his level had almost exhausted Chen Xiaobei’s True Qi. If there had only been one or two of them, he could have handled them without a problem. But there were six left, which was more than Chen Xiaobei could manage.
"Brothers, this guy really can’t hold on anymore!"
"Let’s get him together!"
"Avenge our senior brother!"
In an instant, the mbers of the Iron Fist Sect sward over.
Seeing this, Li Xinghe bit his lips until they bled, his eyes filled with bloodthirsty rage. He had not had an easy life, but in the blink of an eye, the Li Family had been ruined by Chen Xiaobei! This towering hatred could not be erased, even if he ground Chen Xiaobei’s bones to dust and scattered them to the winds.
"Chen Xiaobei, I will eat your flesh and drink your blood to appease my grandson’s spirit in heaven!" Li Xinghe roared.
Chen Xiaobei had no ti to pay him any attention. Watching the encirclent tighten, he felt incredibly conflicted. If he fought, he was sure to lose. But if he ran, Chen Xiaobei would be extrely unwilling to do so. This was the best opportunity to deal with the Li Family; he couldn’t give it up, no matter what.
Just then, Li Maochun’s corpse caught his eye. Through the sunlight filtering into the house, the Storm Gloves on his hands were emitting a golden glow.
I rember these Storm Gloves can be used one more ti. If I use them well, I might just turn defeat into victory! I’ll risk it!
Without a mont’s hesitation, Chen Xiaobei feigned a move and flipped out of the encirclent. The next second, he quickly pulled the Storm Gloves from the corpse and put them on his own hands.
"Not good!" Seeing this, the disciples of the Iron Fist Sect turned pale. "Brothers, get out of the way!"
But his warning ca too late.
Almost at the sa instant, Chen Xiaobei launched a Mountain Shaking Fist forward.
SWISH!
The next second, the gale of True Qi, amplified by the Storm Gloves, beca like a colossal Fire Dragon Roll. With irresistible force, it swept toward the four n in front of him.
"No!"
"Aaaaaah!"
Cries of agony rang out as flesh and blood flew. The four n were torn to shreds by the Fire Dragon Roll on the spot.
However, Chen Xiaobei wasn’t faring much better. That Mountain Shaking Fist had completely drained his body of True Qi, and the luster on the Storm Gloves gradually faded away.
"Ugh—" Clutching his chest, Chen Xiaobei fell to one knee.
"Quick, get him! He’s really done for this ti! Finish him!" Li Xinghe shouted, flailing his arms with manic excitent.
The two survivors exchanged glances. Though hesitant, they still advanced on Chen Xiaobei.
Gazing at Li Xinghe in the distance, Chen Xiaobei felt truly unwilling. Can it be that my only option today is to escape?
The Nine Heavens Demon-Vanquishing Technique hadn’t granted him any remarkable martial techniques, but it had trendously improved his physical strength. In just a few seconds, his condition had improved significantly, but that was as far as it went. He really couldn’t fight any longer.
Still, I ca out ahead overall. These Storm Gloves alone are enough to make giddy, not to ntion I took down a formidable foe like Li Maochun! Forget it. I’ll deal with this another day! Chen Xiaobei sighed deeply.
But just then, a voice cried out from outside, "Do not harm him!"
Murong Xiaoyi suddenly rushed back in. With Moonlight grasped in a reverse grip, she dashed behind the two n at lightning speed and instantly slashed their throats.
"Are you okay? You scared to death!" Seeing Chen Xiaobei on one knee, Murong Xiaoyi instinctively helped him up.
"It’s you?" Chen Xiaobei’s face was full of surprise. He said joyfully, "Tell , you didn’t co back because you were worried about , did you? But honestly, thank you!"
"Who’s worried about you!" Murong Xiaoyi snorted coldly. "I was just afraid that if you died, no one would be left to treat my master’s illness. Otherwise, I couldn’t be bothered with you! Hey, how are you really? Can you stand up or not?"
Although the girl’s pretty face was icy, her eyes were still filled with a concern she couldn’t suppress. This left Chen Xiaobei both surprised and speechless, and he shalessly wondered, Could it be that Murong Xiaoyi has changed her opinion of just because she tended to earlier? My charm is truly invincible!
At that thought, Chen Xiaobei couldn’t have been more excited. He sprang to his feet. "Kidding? You think your Brother Bei is that weak? This is nothing!"
"Tch, such a show-off!" Murong Xiaoyi rolled her eyes at him, then pointed at Li Xinghe and asked, "What do you plan to do with him? I can’t stand the sight of him. Why not just kill him with one strike!"
"Don’t kill , please." Li Xinghe collapsed to the ground with a thud. "Chen Xiaobei, you... just calm down. Let’s talk this out. There’s room for negotiation! As long as you don’t kill , I’m willing to give you half of my family’s fortune. Can’t I just surrender?"
With a thunderous SLAP, Chen Xiaobei struck him across the face. "You old fart, you refused when I offered you a chance to surrender earlier. Now you’re begging? Do you take for a sucker?"
SPURT! A mouthful of blood sprayed out, and the force of the blow twisted Li Xinghe’s jaw. But he was well beyond caring about the pain. He desperately clutched Chen Xiaobei’s pant leg, pleading, "No, there’s room to talk! As long as you don’t kill , I’ll give you the entire Li Family’s fortune."
"The Li Family owns a large hotel, over a dozen casinos, and three nightclubs. Together, they’re worth about one billion! I’ll give you all of it, just please don’t kill !"
Chen Xiaobei smirked. "Do you think you’re in any position to negotiate with right now? I can take over all your family’s assets the mont I kill you! So right now, you only have two paths: a terrible death or a quick one. The only choice you have in the matter is whether you obediently answer one question for first."
"You want to know the secret of Shanhe Village, don’t you?" Li Xinghe asked, his eyes cold and grim.
"Correct," Chen Xiaobei said proudly. "Isn’t this the very reason you had co here? I suggest you spill it quickly, or else I really will start torturing you!"
As he spoke, Chen Xiaobei took out a Silver Needle, aiming for Li Xinghe’s chest.
"Wait, wait a second," Li Xinghe said weakly. "I can tell you, but you have to promise one thing. Let Li Maowen go. As long as you let him leave and cure him right now, I’ll tell you everything I know!"
"Deal!" A mischievous grin touched Chen Xiaobei’s lips.
Ever since Li Maowen had tried to assault Shen Jiawen, Chen Xiaobei had never planned on letting him live. So, he certainly wasn’t going to save him for real.
However, to make the act convincing, Chen Xiaobei did reduce Li Maowen’s swelling and restore his virility. But before doing so, he deliberately left a trace of True Qi in Li Maowen’s body. In half an hour, that True Qi would detonate, and by then, not even a deity could save his life.
"Grandpa, I don’t want to leave! Boo hoo hoo!" Li Maowen was unspeakably heartbroken, yet there wasn’t a single tear in his eyes. He had nearly rubbed them raw.
"Stop crying!" Li Xinghe was nearly sick with rage. He snapped, "Maowen, after you leave, go straight to the Iron Fist Sect and see the Iron Fist Ancestor! Tell him about Maochun’s death. The Ancestor will surely avenge him."
"I understand, Grandpa. Take care of yourself!" With those words, Li Maowen bolted from the villa like a shot.
Li Xinghe clutched his chest, a wave of genuine regret washing over him. What a curse. I never should have offended Chen Xiaobei.
Chen Xiaobei kicked him. "Cut the crap and start talking, damn you. My patience is running thin!"
