Duan Lingtian flew into the air, his eyes cold.
As Li Jie's body fell, he punched Li Jie's back, right in the middle of his spine …
Crack!
Crack!!
An ear-piercing sound of bones cracking could be heard.
In an instant, Li Jie's body was sent flying into the air again. His head shook, and his shrill cries stopped abruptly as he fainted.
"Boom!"
Duan Lingtian used the recoil to land steadily.
He raised his right arm and caught Li Jie's falling body.
Right now, he was like an undefeatable god of war.
Duan Ling Tian heaved a sigh of relief, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a warm smile.
He had finally won, all thanks to the 'Paralysis Inscription' on his ring.
The Paralysis Inscription was the inscription Duan Lingtian had prepared a month ago. Once it was released, it could cause the target's body to be paralyzed instantly, causing their accumulated strength to dissipate.
This was how Li Jie lost to Duan Lingtian.
"This …"
Around the arena, all the Li family members were stunned, unable to regain their senses for a long time.
Everything that happened in front of them was unbelievable!
Seeing Seventh Elder Li Kun fly over angrily, Duan Lingtian's lips curled into a cold smile.
Exerting force, he threw Li Jie's body towards Li Kun.
"Duan Lingtian!"
Li Kun caught Li Jie, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he looked at Duan Lingtian.
Only when Li Rou came to Duan Lingtian's side, did he withdraw his gaze.
"Tian 'er, are you alright?"
Li Rou took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Duan Lingtian's forehead, her face filled with worry.
"Mother, I'm fine."
Duan Lingtian's heart warmed as he smiled and shook his head.
He was fine, but someone else wasn't …
"Great Elder!"
Suddenly, Li Kun let out a sorrowful cry. He turned around and carried Li Jie as he rushed up the stage to meet the Li family's higher-ups who were coming down from the stage.
Among the upper echelons of the Li family, Sixth Elder Li Ting's expression was the most unsightly, while Fifth Elder Li Ting was elated.
Grand Elder Li Huo's face darkened as he examined Li Jie's injuries.
"Little brat, Li Jie's spine is almost completely shattered. Even a seventh-grade Gold Injury Pill won't be able to save him. Aren't you being a little too harsh? Li Jie's life has been completely ruined by you. "
Li Huo raised his head to look at Li Rou and her son who were walking over. His gaze fell on Duan Lingtian as he spoke in a deep voice.
Li Jie was the young genius of the Li family. The Li family had high expectations for him.
Now that he had died, it was undoubtedly a great loss to the Li family.
"What?!"
Hearing Grand Elder Li Huo's words, Li Kun's expression changed greatly. His body trembled as if he was struck by lightning.
He didn't expect that his son would be injured so severely by Duan Lingtian …
His spine was almost completely shattered?
Even a seventh-grade Gold Injury Pill won't be able to save him?
"I want you dead!"
Li Kun roared. His figure flashed as he madly charged towards Duan Lingtian. He attacked in anger!
Above his head, four ancient mammoth silhouettes appeared.
Li Rou, who had always been on guard against Li Kun, had six ancient mammoth silhouettes appear above her head. She repelled Li Kun in one move.
"Li Kun, if you dare attack my son again, I'll definitely kill you!"
The cold voice seemed to come from the depths of hell.
"Li Rou!"
Li Kun's face was ashen. Even though he was extremely angry, he didn't dare to doubt Li Rou's words.
"Grand Elder, you must seek justice for my son!"
Li Kun looked at Grand Elder Li Huo and knelt on the ground with a 'plop'. He said in a mournful voice.
His youngest son Li Xin's right arm was crippled. His future was bleak.
In Li Kun's heart, he had long placed all his hopes on his eldest son.
But now, Li Jie's spine was almost completely shattered. He was destined to spend the rest of his life lying in bed.
At this moment, he only felt his vision go black. The sun and moon were dim, as if the sky was about to collapse!
"Li Kun, the family has rules. When the family members challenge each other, other than the prohibition of life and death, there are no other restrictions. The intention is to allow the family members to fight freely. When martial artists fight, fists and feet have no eyes, injuries are inevitable. Today, it is your son who is lying here. If my son was lying here, would you still let the Great Elder blame your son? "
Li Rou snorted coldly. She was so angry that she laughed.
"Ninth Elder, your words are a little unreasonable. Your son, Duan Ling Tian, has already broken one of Li Jie's arms. Victory was in sight, but he didn't stop. Instead, he chased after Li Jie and crippled him … In my opinion, he did this on purpose. This goes against the spirit of unity and friendship between our Li family disciples!"
Sixth Elder Li Ping's eyes flashed as he coldly said.
"Sixth Elder, your words are incorrect. After Duan Lingtian broke Li Jie's arm, Li Jie could have admitted defeat, but he didn't. He must have felt that he still had the strength to fight and hope to defeat Duan Lingtian … Also, don't forget, Duan Lingtian is only at the 3rd level of the Body Tempering Stage. Even if he lost an arm, it would still be dangerous. If he didn't pursue and attack, Li Jie would have found an opportunity to counterattack. That would have been a huge loss."
Fifth Elder Li Ting lightly said. His words were well-grounded, causing Li Ping's face to darken. He couldn't refute.
"Alright, let's stop arguing. In the afternoon, the family will hold an emergency meeting regarding this matter. We will discuss it then. The most important thing now is to let Li Jie go back and recuperate … Seventh Elder, take Li Jie back. "
Patriarch Li Nanfeng frowned.
"Yes, Patriarch!"
Li Kun slowly stood up. With a gloomy face, he grabbed Li Jie by the waist and lifted him up.
His eyes flashed with murderous intent as he fiercely glanced at Duan Lingtian before leaving.
Duan Lingtian lightly smiled. He didn't take it to heart.
He didn't feel guilty at all for what happened today.
Not to mention that he was a cold-blooded mercenary who had walked out of a hail of bullets in his previous life.
If it was in his previous life, Li Jie wouldn't have survived the harsh words Li Jie had said to him. In his opinion, he had already shown mercy.
If you want me to lie in bed for the rest of my life, then I'll give you a taste of your own medicine!
The Li family's upper echelons in the Martial Arts Practice Field dispersed.
However, when they left, they looked at Duan Lingtian with unfriendly gazes.
After all, in their eyes, Duan Lingtian was only a member of the family with a different surname.
As for Li Jie, he was the Li family's young genius and the future pillar of the Li family.
Regarding this matter, they would more or less side with Li Jie.
The Li family members surrounding the Martial Arts Practice Field also gradually dispersed.
What happened today made them both shocked and speechless.
Li Jie, their Li family's young genius and the strongest person in the Li family's fourth level of Body Tempering stage, actually lost at the hands of a third level Body Tempering stage disciple with a different surname.
Shameful, this was too shameful!
"I used to think that Li Jie was very strong, but I didn't think that he would be so weak!"
"Duan Lingtian is only at the third level of Body Tempering stage, yet he can defeat Li Jie. When he reaches the ninth level of Body Tempering stage, who under the Core Formation stage will be his match?"
"I really don't know what kind of fortuitous encounter Duan Lingtian had. In just a short month, he has transformed into such a shocking person!"
… …
The Li family members' conversation quickly shifted to Duan Lingtian.
Duan Ling Tian, who was originally a nobody, suddenly became the hot topic of discussion in the Li family.
As the Li family members left one by one, only four people remained in the large Martial Arts Practice Field.
Duan Lingtian, Li Rou, Kerr, and Fifth Elder Li Ting.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian noticed that his mother, Li Rou, had an ugly expression on her face.
"You brat, you're really young and frivolous. You're happy that you crippled Li Jie, but you didn't think about the consequences … Li Jie is the family's young genius after all, and the family has high hopes for him. The family meeting in the afternoon is said to be to discuss today's matter, but it's actually to discuss how to punish you. Tell me, how can your mom not worry about you? "
Li Ting shook his head and sighed.
In his view, Duan Lingtian was like a newborn calf that didn't fear a tiger, daring to do anything.
"First Elder still has a favor to ask of me. With his status in the Li family, as long as he supports me, the others will have to give him some face no matter what, right?"
Duan Ling Tian said with an indifferent expression.
"You're wrong to think that way. First Elder has always kept his public and private interests separate. This is also the reason why everyone in the Li family respects him from the bottom of their hearts. His status as a ninth-grade alchemist isn't enough to make everyone respect him. "
Li Ting shook his head.
Duan Lingtian frowned slightly. He hadn't expected that his trump card would be wasted like this.
When they returned home, Li Rou's expression had softened, but it was still mixed with worry.
The young girl remained silent, not daring to speak for fear of disturbing her mother.
"Mom, don't worry. I have a plan. Nothing will happen."
Duan Lingtian, who had been thinking the entire way, grinned upon returning to the courtyard.
"What plan do you have?"
Li Rou obviously didn't believe him.
"Mom, aren't you worried that the Li family elders will side with Li Jie and then punish me? Don't worry, I have a plan to make them side with me. "
Duan Lingtian smiled mysteriously, full of confidence.
"What plan?"
Li Rou was curious.
The young girl beside her also looked over expectantly.
"I'm going to work first. I'll tell you before lunch."
After saying this, Duan Lingtian returned to his room and went to work.
The two girls looked at each other helplessly.
"Kerr, do you know what Tian 'er's plan is?"
Li Rou asked the young girl.
"Kerr doesn't know either."
The young girl shook her head lightly.
"That brat is becoming more and more mysterious recently."
Li Rou's eyes narrowed slightly as she smiled helplessly.
After lunch, Duan Lingtian asked for a hundred taels of silver and thirty taels of silver from his mother Li Rou before leaving the Li family residence with the young girl.
Many of the Li family members who saw this scene were speechless.
"Duan Lingtian still has the mood to go shopping at a time like this?"
"Is he worried that the family will punish him after the family meeting and is preparing to run away?"
"Are you kidding? He is the son of the ninth elder. He can run away, but the temple can't. Where can he run to …"
"Awesome! After today's family meeting, if he is fine, I will definitely make him my idol and acknowledge him as my boss! "
