24: Chapter 24 Protecting Family mbers 24: Chapter 24 Protecting Family mbers Li Cheng heard the words, went to the front of the large coffin, feeling a bit nervous.
He struck out with his palm, sending the coffin lid flying off, and looked inside, only to see a person lying there!
A dead person!
A youth of about sixteen or seventeen!
The youth’s body was a wretched green, so green it was almost black.
Upon seeing the youth’s face, Li Cheng’s body suddenly trembled, his eyes reddened, and tears fell, “Feng’er!
My Feng’er!” After speaking, he lifted the youth out of the coffin and held him tightly.
“My Feng’er!”
“You can’t die, my Feng’er!”
Li Cheng’s cries were utterly tragic.
When Li Mu saw the youth’s face, tears instantly filled his face, and standing there, he started crying uncontrollably in front of everyone.
“Brother, brother!” At this mont, Li Lu, who had been standing next to Huang Xiaolong, also ca forward, rushing over to the youth’s side, crying out as she vigorously shook the youth’s body, “Brother, what happened to you?
Brother, wake up, I don’t want you to die, I don’t want you to die!”
“Brother, wake up!”
“Wake up!”
Li Lu sobbed inconsolably.
At this ti, the guards, maids, and many experts of Li Mansion also ca forward and knelt down, beginning to cry.
The youth who had died was Li Lu’s elder brother, Li Feng, and also the only son of Li Cheng.
Li Feng had great talent, possessing a ninth-level top Martial Soul just like Li Lu.
Three years earlier, he had been noticed by a major sect of the Luotong Kingdom, the Chuyun Sect, and beca an inner sect disciple.
No one had expected that on the occasion of Li Mu’s eightieth birthday, he would be murdered and sent as a birthday gift!
All the family patriarchs and experts who had co to offer birthday wishes shook their heads privately, not expecting such an event to occur during Elder Li’s birthday celebration!
“Feng’er, it’s Grandfather who has hard you!” Li Mu knelt there, hands trembling as he touched his grandson’s face, tears dripping onto his grandson who could no longer move or hear his calls.
“Rest assured, Grandfather will avenge you!
I certainly will!” Li Mu’s eyes were resolute.
From afar, Huang Xiaolong, looking on, also had red eyes.
A silence fell over everyone around.
Only after a long ti did Li Mu pick up his grandson and return to the interior of Li Mansion, with the crowd following behind.
The festive lanterns and red cloths that had been hung inside Li Mansion now seed so glaring.
The birthday banquet ultimately did not continue.
Before long, the family patriarchs and experts who had co for the birthday wishes took their leave one after another, and the previously bustling Li Mansion suddenly beca quiet and lifeless.
In the end, only Huang Xiaolong and four others remained for the birthday wishes.
“Brother Li, my condolences,” Huang Qide ca up to Li Mu, offering words of comfort, “If you have any trouble in the future, just send word, and our Huang Family Manor will surely co to help!”
Huang Qide had not expected such an event to occur and now, it was not appropriate to stay any longer, so he had to take his leave.
“Brother Huang, thank you,” Li Mu’s voice was filled with sorrow.
Huang Qide nodded, finding it difficult to say anything more, and was about to leave with Huang Xiaolong and the others.
However, at that mont, Li Lu suddenly ran over and embraced Huang Xiaolong, crying, “Xiao Long, don’t go, okay?”
All those around turned their gaze to Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong appeared hesitant, pausing for a mont before patting Li Lu on the shoulder and consolingly said, “I will co to see you often in the future.
Don’t worry, I will kill the person responsible and avenge your brother.”
Hearing this, everyone shook their heads and smiled, thinking it was just a child’s offhand remark and no one took Huang Xiaolong’s words seriously.
Even Li Mu did not have full confidence in killing the adversary, let alone a child not even eight years old.
“Then you must co to see often,” Li Lu pleaded through her tearful eyes.
Huang Xiaolong could only nod.
Li Mu personally saw Huang Xiaolong and the others out of Li Mansion, and only after they had disappeared did he return to the mansion.
At dusk, Huang Xiaolong and his group returned to Huang Family Manor.
That night, after returning to Huang Family Manor, Huang Xiaolong did not practice the Asura Technique; instead, he stood at the peak of the rear mountain, gazing at the stars twinkling in the night sky.
Two ters behind Huang Xiaolong, Fei Hou stood guard.
“Fei Hou, do you think that after people die, they can beco stars in the night sky?” Huang Xiaolong suddenly asked.
Fei Hou was startled, “Stars in the night sky?” He obviously hadn’t expected Huang Xiaolong to ask such a question out of the blue.
“Back in my old hotown, people said that when you die, you beco a star in the night sky, and then you protect your loved ones,” Huang Xiaolong said softly.
“Becoming a star in the night sky, protecting your loved ones?” Fei Hou shook his head with a smile, “In this world, only formidable strength can protect and guard your loved ones.”
“Formidable strength!” Huang Xiaolong was startled.
“Yes, formidable strength!” Fei Hou nodded.
Indeed, formidable strength!
Huang Xiaolong clenched his fists, the sparkle in his eyes beneath the night sky shimred, realizing only formidable strength could protect and safeguard his loved ones!
He must beco stronger, continually stronger!
Only by doing so could he protect and guard his loved ones!
An invisible aura emanated from Huang Xiaolong, surprising even Fei Hou.
“Let’s go back!” After a while, Huang Xiaolong’s aura withdrew, his tone shifted, and he said, then turned around to head back to the Huang Family Manor at the foot of the mountain, with Fei Hou following closely behind him.
Once back at Huang Family Manor, Huang Xiaolong took out the Cold Jade Bed, sat cross-legged, and began practicing the Asura Technique, as Nine Netherworld Dark Energy continuously cascaded down from the void.
…
Ti passed by.
Before long, ten months had flown by.
Since returning from the Li Family’s birthday celebration, Huang Peng noticed that his son was practicing even more fervently than before, staying inside the small courtyard all day, almost never stepping out.
Seeing their son so consud by his practice, both Huang Peng and Su Yan naturally felt distressed, and they often visited the small courtyard to see Huang Xiaolong.
In these ten months, Huang Xiaolong’s Fighting Energy Cultivation had increased at a terrifying pace.
From being at the Fourth-stage Early Stage Peak when he returned from the Li Family celebration, he had broken through to Fourth-stage Middle in half a month, reached the Middle Stage Peak in one month, and was at Fourth-stage Late Stage in two months.
And after ten months, not only had Huang Xiaolong broken through to the Fifth-level, but he also reached the Fifth-stage Late Stage Peak!
One sunny morning, upon the rear mountain terrain, Huang Xiaolong swung his arms, and the Shura Blade released a hundred and more Blade Lights out of the air.
Two giant wind clusters, each five ters high, swirled and twisted violently, with Hell’s Wind cutting everything in its path—every tree was chopped into over a hundred segnts.
The advancing wind clusters suddenly changed direction, first veering left, then right!
In ten months, not only had the power of Hell’s Wind increased tenfold, but Huang Xiaolong could also control its direction at will.
After rolling for a dozen breaths, the Hell’s Wind would then dissipate.
“Hell’s Wind has finally reached Great Success.
Now, it only lacks power,” Huang Xiaolong looked around at the fallen trees and muttered to himself.
He had completely comprehended the essence of Hell’s Wind, and as his Fighting Energy Cultivation increased, so would the power of this technique.
According to the diagram, there was once soone who used Hell’s Wind and swept across a hundred thousand miles.
Within those hundred thousand miles, all life was wiped out, leaving not even a single blade of grass!
“In just over twenty days, it will be the next yearly family gathering,” Huang Xiaolong thought to himself as he retracted the Shura Blade back into his arms.
(The next chapter is the upcoming yearly gathering.
The climax is coming once more!
Brothers, do you have your recomndation tickets ready?)
