The housekeeper imdiately took the order, nodded, and said yes. The Sixth Elder happened to be there and volunteered, saying, "Great Elder, Old Master, since this person has been afflicted with Bone Erosion Poison, he’s no longer a threat. Although I’m not very talented, I’m willing to sever his tendons, turning him into a cripple!"
"Very well, such a person cannot be allowed to die easily!" Old Master Zhao nodded.
The housekeeper followed up, "Is there a sharp blade available?"
"Haha, Second Uncle, don’t forget, I’m a knife expert!" The Sixth Elder laughed, then with a swipe of his hand from his waist, a not-so-wide knife appeared, but the blade glead coldly, looking extrely sharp.
This knife has so history. Its na is Broken Water. While it’s not the legendary famous blade, it was commissioned by the Sixth Elder from a master craftsman. It can indeed cut water, slice through bones like cutting grass; if the cold light flashes, sothing is bound to be severed.
In the pouring rain, Li Yifei’s clothes quickly got soaked, as did the Second Elder. The Sixth Elder, eager to make achievents after receiving the order, disregarded the umbrella and didn’t use True Qi for protection, instead striding towards Li Yifei, eyes full of murderous intent. For him, killing was not the goal, but making achievents was.
Holding the knife in hand, he swiftly changed poses, seemingly showing off. Upon reaching Li Yifei and seeing Li Yifei’s furrowed brow with his eyes still closed, the Sixth Elder chuckled with a sense of pride. The short knife in his hand glinted as he aid to chop at Li Yifei’s wrist.
The Great Elder had been watching the scene the whole ti, knowing that even with Bone Erosion Poison, this shouldn’t be the reaction. Though the poison is fierce, the higher the cultivator’s skill, the less it affects them. This poison could seal half of Li Yifei’s abilities but wouldn’t render him standing with closed eyes...
The short knife was raised, and the Sixth Elder’s arm surged with power, slashing down forcefully. Judging by his posture, he wasn’t just going to sever the tendons in the wrists and ankles; he was clearly intending to chop off Li Yifei’s hands and feet altogether. But no one was stopping him at this ti, as no one here was on Li Yifei’s side.
Swipe! It was as if the sudden sound rang out, but it wasn’t from the Sixth Elder’s knife; it was from Li Yifei. He suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze like lightning, startling the Sixth Elder. He hadn’t expected Li Yifei to suddenly open his eyes, causing his movents to slow. His arm was raised high, but just as he was about to bring it down, he suddenly found his arm was immobilized. A strong hand grasped his arm, halting his chopping action. The hand was strong and powerful. The Sixth Elder’s eyes widened, trying to yank his hand back, but it wouldn’t budge. In the next second, an odd smile appeared on Li Yifei’s face, and with a twist of his wrist, it sounded as if a crack echoed; the arm held by Li Yifei was forcefully twisted and broken by him.
What kind of strength is this? The Sixth Elder wasn’t a weakling to be easily bullied; he was also a strong fighter. Although he might be sowhat weaker than the current Li Yifei, for his arm to be twisted and broken like this... did it really happen?
"Ow!" The Sixth Elder let out a pig-like scream, and amidst his cries, Li Yifei yanked again, forcibly tearing off the Sixth Elder’s severed hand. The knife glinted as Li Yifei grabbed the broken blade, the knife spun several tis in the air, and the Sixth Elder’s voice abruptly ceased.
This blade is indeed very sharp, truly admirable, forcing Li Yifei to acknowledge it as an excellent knife. However, it was this knife, painstakingly commissioned by the Sixth Elder, that brought about his demise under a few flashes of white light.
Even in death, the Sixth Elder couldn’t understand how Li Yifei’s cultivation remained intact without any weakening. But wasn’t he afflicted by the Bone Erosion Poison from the Second Elder? How could he be unaffected?
Death was instant. Li Yifei was ruthless, never one to show rcy. Or rather, towards his enemies, Li Yifei had always been ruthless and determined, never holding back. Although he had his eyes closed just now, his ears were still working, his senses were intact, and he heard the words from the Sixth Elder and others. Since they intended to sever his limbs, then... severing their bodies would be logical, at least in Li Yifei’s view, he didn’t see anything wrong with doing that.
So, there was nothing wrong at all. After finishing with the Sixth Elder, Li Yifei had already retreated a few ters, avoiding the blood mist that filled the air. In an instant, the Sixth Elder’s body burst into several pieces, under imnse internal pressure, spraying countless bloodstains, yet the pouring rain quickly pushed the blood back down, finally falling onto the ground, spreading to form a pool of red blood.
Silence. All the Zhao Family People watching were wide-eyed, many were horrified, retreating backward one after another. Most of these people probably had never seen a dead person; even if they had, they’d likely never witnessed such a bloody scene. This person is simply terrifying. Although he was arrogant just now, he definitely wasn’t at this level, but now... this person just instantly shattered the living Sixth Elder from a second ago.
Looking at the fallen head of the Sixth Elder on the ground, his eyes were still wide open, clueless, filled with bewildernt. Perhaps he didn’t even know how he died.
So of the Zhao Family Young Generation were already covering their eyes, unable to bear watching, while for Old Master Zhao and the others, the scene unfolded too suddenly. Their first reaction was disbelief: how could this happen? The Second Elder’s Bone Erosion Poison was undoubtedly real, and anyone poisoned by it would absolutely not survive. Yet there stood Li Yifei, perfectly unhard, with an indescribable smile on his face, perhaps... a contemptuous smile? Old Master Zhao decided not to dwell on the opponent’s smile; he just wanted to know why this was happening.
The butler’s mouth gaped wide in shock; today was utterly baffling to him. How was this done?
Soone could actually be unaffected by a poison like Bone Erosion, and remain unhard under its effects! The Great Elder suppressed her surprise. The death of a Sixth Elder didn’t pain her; in fact, even if the Second Elder, whom she had known for years, were to die, she wouldn’t be pained or regretful. No one’s death mattered as long as she was alive. That’s just how cold-blooded a person the Great Elder was, or rather... a person devoid of emotion. That’s how she had been over the years.
She took a step forward, just one calm step, but it spanned more than ten ters. Another step, and she was already ten ters away from Li Yifei. This distance was neither too far nor too close, but to traverse it so effortlessly showcased the Great Elder’s level.
Li Yifei squinted, holding his knife in one hand, his expression unchanged, as if he hadn’t been poisoned by the Bone Erosion Poison at all. Of course, only he knew that the mont the poison entered his body, the Worm imdiately erged.
In comparison, the Worm was indeed a more formidable toxin, as it could dissolve all kinds of poisons or rather, could it consu them? That might be the case. After a fierce battle, the Bone Erosion Poison wasn’t expelled from his body but also vanished mysteriously without a trace. As for the Worm... Li Yifei couldn’t sense its presence, such was its mystique, but ti had passed. That’s why Li Yifei had stood there, eyes closed.
It was sowhat dangerous. If the detoxification had been delayed, wouldn’t Li Yifei have been crippled by the Sixth Elder? This also explained his anger, leading him to imdiately chop the opponent to pieces.
"You’re not poisoned?" The Great Elder’s voice resounded. Her voice had a sowhat ethereal quality, and Li Yifei knew that this was part of her confusing tactic, a sound-based attack, but of such a level, it was hardly impressive to him.
Li Yifei opened his eyes and said, "What do you think?"
"So, you’re not poisoned!" said the Great Elder.
Li Yifei looked up and laughed, "It’s really amusing, an old man who’s long been famous fights , but has to resort to poison. Failing to knock out, the other old hag cos over to ask if I’m poisoned. The Zhao Family’s Great Elder and Second Elder are truly remarkable!"
"Is your verbal prowess all that you have? Even without being poisoned, do you think you can defeat ?" remarked the Great Elder.
Li Yifei shook his head, "Who knows if I can win without fighting? What if you’re even weaker than the previous pushover? At your age, why bother with all this? Wouldn’t it be better to find a comfortable place to wait for the end peacefully? Why fight to the death with the young ones? Even if you win, it’s not glorious, but if you lose..." With that, Li Yifei’s voice suddenly turned cold, and he said word by word, "If you lose, you’re dead!"
The Great Elder’s eyes glinted with a chilling light. For many years, she had only threatened others with life and death, and never had she been threatened. Yet, Li Yifei dared to threaten her like this, so the Great Elder instantly got angry. She clenched her hand, and her aura abruptly erupted.
With a swoosh, it felt as if an energy wave abruptly surged out, blowing Li Yifei’s hair back. Well, his hair wasn’t long to begin with. Just from this, Li Yifei realized that the Great Elder’s strength was indeed greater than that of the Second Elder.
Indeed, as expected of the Great Elder, just this move was quite formidable. Li Yifei nodded secretly, knowing that he couldn’t be careless against the Great Elder.
"Be serious; after all, if you lose, you’re a dead man. Oh, I don’t seem to want to kill you right away. I want to use your body to make a puppet. Your body, an Innate Expert’s body, should be the best material!" Although the Great Elder was right in front, her voice seed to float around, as if one word was hundreds of ters away, and the next right by his ear.
Calculations, all calculations, Li Yifei thought disdainfully. This was also to confuse the enemy, but to use him as material for a puppet? After thinking it over, Li Yifei naturally wouldn’t let her succeed. Lifting the knife in his hand and pointing it at the Great Elder, Li Yifei said, "Old hag, if you want to fight, let’s fight. I ca alone today to challenge the Zhao Family’s experts. Of course, my goal is to trample you all beneath my feet!"
