"Thank you for your guidance."
In the courtyard, Li Caitong saluted Chu Mu with a face full of admiration. Chu Mu nodded and waved his hand. Li Caitong turned around and left reluctantly.
It had been ten days since he arrived at the Li family. Chu Mu had used the Sword Intent Pill and increased his sword intent to fifty percent. Now, it had broken through to fifty-one percent, making it even more powerful.
As for the Soul Cleansing Pill, Chu Mu had also used it. The original twenty percent of the water and fire profound had increased to thirty percent. Also, Chu Mu had successfully found the matching point and completed the initial fusion.
Next, he would need to spend more time to understand and achieve a balance through the matching point. Then, he would be able to completely fuse the water and fire profound together and explode with unparalleled power.
Other than his own training, the Li family had also sent Li Caitong over to receive guidance from Chu Mu. Now that Chu Mu had reached the Origin Realm, he had set his sights higher. It was easy for him to guide a Qi Hai sword artist. Especially when it came to sword skills, he had pointed out the flaws in Li Caitong's sword skills and improved them.
"Senior Chu really is amazing. My current swordsmanship is at least twice as powerful as it was ten days ago. Even Li Kaitao is no match for me." Li Caitong thought to herself as she left Bie Shan Courtyard. She couldn't help but feel a burst of joy and excitement.
In just ten days, the power of her sword skills had doubled. This was something unimaginable in the past.
… …
"Zhen 'er … Zhen' er … Quickly wake up …" Li Mingxin hurriedly stuffed a medicinal pill into the mouth of a youth. After circulating his Qi to dissolve the medicinal effects, he anxiously stared at the youth on the chair and anxiously shouted.
The young man's face was similar to Li Mingxin's. At this moment, his robe was torn and stained with blood. His face was pale and he looked like he was on the verge of death.
After a while, the pill dissolved. The young man's eyelids trembled and he opened his eyes. Li Mingxin was immediately overjoyed. The four elders and a few attendants were also overjoyed.
As a declining family, the Li family had a unique trait: unity!
Li Zhen was also a genius of the clan. His talent was above that of Li Kaitao and Li Caitong. Naturally, they didn't want anything to happen to him.
At this moment, a burst of noise came from outside, followed by a blood-curdling scream, followed by a series of footsteps, causing the faces of everyone in the hall to change greatly.
"What's going on?" The Second Elder's complexion changed as he shouted.
"The Li Clan is really impressive." A light laugh was heard. Then, two figures walked over.
The leader was a white-clothed youth. He had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and he was extremely handsome. His skin was as white as mutton fat, and he could make thousands of women scream. His left hand held a folding fan with ten beauties drawn on it, and he gently waved it. There was an indescribable elegance about him, and behind him was a middle-aged man.
That middle-aged man was dressed like a Sword Guard. His face was expressionless like a rock, but his eyes were shining with a sharp light. His body emitted an intense aura that was extremely sharp, cutting through the surrounding air, causing people's hearts to tremble.
"May I ask who you are?" When Li Mingxin and the others saw the middle-aged Sword Guard, their faces suddenly changed. They cupped their hands towards the white-clothed youth and asked in a respectful manner.
"My surname is Long. You can call me Third Young Master." The white-robed young man spoke frankly with assurance. His gaze swept across the faces of the Li Clan members and finally landed on Li Zhen. Li Zhen looked at the white-robed young man with eyes filled with anger. Third Young Master Long smiled and said, "You are really lucky, you actually didn't die."
"Third Young Master Long …" The Li Clan members all gasped. They had been in the Jinsha Region for more than twenty years. How could they not know about the Long Clan?
The largest clan in the Jinsha Region was the Shentu Clan, followed by the Fan Clan, and then the Long Clan.
Don't underestimate the Long Clan. In the entire Jinsha Region, there were more than a hundred clans. To be able to be ranked third meant that they were extremely powerful. The Long Clan was a powerful clan that had existed for more than a thousand years. It was said that there were at least ten Origin Realm warriors in the clan.
Although the Li Clan was now at the bottom of the list of clans in the Jinsha Region, they were once prosperous in the Pingyang Region. They also had many Origin Realm warriors in the clan. They knew that the so-called 'at least ten' was just an imaginary number. The fake news that was leaked to the outside world said that there were at least twenty or even more.
The difference between the Li Clan and the Long Clan was like the difference between a Qi Transformation Realm swordsman and an Origin Realm swordsman. There was no comparison.
If the Long Clan was willing, they only needed to send out one Origin Realm swordsman, and it would be enough to slaughter the entire Li Clan.
They were also aware of the various rumors regarding the Third Young Master of the Long family. He was a talented swordsman who was twenty-five years old this year and had obtained the title of Sword Hero three years ago. He was very powerful and had astonishing talent. The middle-aged swordsman beside him was a Ninth Revolution Realm eighth revolution swordsman who was stronger than anyone in the Li family.
"Third Young Master's visit brings light to the Li Clan." Li Mingxin quickly said.
"It is indeed the Li Clan's honor for me to come here personally. However, there is an even greater honor waiting for your Li Clan." The Third Young Master Long closed his fan, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which made the Li family members feel that something was wrong. The Third Young Master Long's face turned cold, he pointed at Li Zhen and shouted, "This lowly bastard dared to offend me on the street, he tried to kill me, but he didn't know that he was stupid, he was as insignificant as an ant, he was sent flying by my sword, but he didn't die. It's good that he didn't die, he was lucky to be alive, remember my kindness."
"Now, I'll give you two choices." The Third Young Master Long opened his fan again and waved it, "First, the Li Clan will be annihilated. I don't think you will choose this."
"Second?" Li Mingxin's face turned gloomy.
"Second, very simple. Give me a satisfactory compensation." The Third Young Master Long said.
"I wonder how the Third Young Master wants the Li Clan to compensate?" Li Mingxin said. He felt very sullen. This was the result of being weaker than others. He was prepared to agree as long as the compensation wasn't too big.
"Not much. Just ten thousand spirit stones." The Third Young Master Long chuckled. Li Mingxin and the others subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. Ten thousand spirit stones was indeed not much. They didn't notice that the Third Young Master Long said spirit stones and didn't mention the grade of spirit stones.
"As for the grade, I don't think you can take out King Grade Spirit Stones, so I'll take out Supreme Grade Spirit Stones. 10,000 Supreme Grade Spirit Stones. What do you think? I'm kind enough," Third Young Master Long said.
"Ten thousand spirit stones!" The Li Clan's eyes widened and exclaimed.
Ten thousand top-grade spirit stones were equivalent to one hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones. With the Li family's current situation, they might be able to gather one hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones even if they sold everything they had. The result would be that the Li family would completely decline. They wouldn't even have the money to eat, let alone cultivate.
"Third Young Master, we can't take out ten thousand spirit stones." An elder exclaimed.
"Can't take it out? Then let's annihilate your clan. " The Third Young Master Long sneered. He waved his hand and said to the middle-aged sword guard behind him, "Long Jiu, kill without mercy!"
"Yes." The middle-aged sword guard's voice was extremely cold and murderous. He unsheathed his sword and the Sword Qi was extremely sharp. The Sword Will wantonly cut the air into pieces. It made people feel like they were being executed by a thousand cuts.
The Li Clan's faces changed drastically and they all unsheathed their swords.
The murderous intent filled the entire Li Clan's mansion. Everyone in the Li Clan was shrouded in the murderous intent. Those with weaker cultivation were directly paralyzed and foamed at the mouth.
He had the strength of a Ninth Transformation Realm Eight Transformation Realm and was from a large family like the Long family. He was extremely powerful and was not someone the Li family could compare to. Even if Li Mingxin and the other Ninth Transformation Realm swordsmen joined forces, they would not be his match.
In an instant, the middle-aged sword guard slashed with his sword. This slash was like splitting a mountain. The tables and chairs in the hall were all shattered. The ground cracked. The Li Clan's black hair danced wildly. They only felt that their bodies were about to be split open.
There was no way to block it. The power of this slash was too strong. There was no way to block it at all.
But the Li Clan wouldn't just sit there and wait for death. One by one, they slashed with their sword and used their sword techniques to resist. With a loud bang, the hall was shattered. The broken walls fell and countless cracks appeared on the ground. The Li Clan's people were all sent flying, vomiting blood.
On the other hand, Long Jiu's body only shook slightly. He wasn't hurt at all.
The difference in strength between the two sides was too great. Long Jiu was at least two Transformation Realm higher than the Li Clan's people. In terms of Sword Will and Esoteric Meaning, he was also much better than the Li Clan's people. Moreover, the grade of his sword technique was higher. Under the combination of the three, the quality of the sword he used was better. It wasn't surprising that he could injure the Li Clan's people.
"Kill!" With a fierce shout, Long Jiu slashed with his sword again. The huge sword light seemed like it could split a mountain and slashed towards the Li Clan's people in the hall.
"How dare you!" A thunderous roar sounded. Following that, a figure seemed to appear out of thin air. He flew over and slashed with his sword. Immediately, the mountain-splitting sword light was countered. With another slash, Long Jiu was pushed back. He groaned as blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. There was a sword wound on his chest.
"Who are you? How dare you cause trouble in my clan! " After repelling Dragon Nine with one sword strike, a figure appeared. It was an old man who looked to be in his sixties. His body was strong and powerful, and his hair was angry. His aura was threatening.
"Peak of Transformation Realm!" Long Jiu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stared at the old man.
"Who are you?" Third Young Master Long's eyes flashed with a trace of fear.
"Li Clan's Grand Elder Li Tian He." The old man said.
"Li Clan's Grand Elder. Very well, wait for me. I will be back." Third Young Master Long said with a trace of anger in his voice. He snorted and turned to leave.
Just as Li Tian He was about to stop him, Li Ming Xin quickly stopped him.
"Grand Elder, we are in trouble." Third Elder wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sighed.
"What trouble?" Li Tian He just came out of seclusion and did not understand the situation.
"First Elder, it's like this …" Li Mingxin explained everything that had happened to Li Tianhe. Li Tianhe frowned as he listened. He immediately understood that the Li Family had caused a huge disaster. If things went wrong, they might even be in danger of being exterminated … If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
