Killing intent

  As for himself, or rather, the previous "Li Yi", he was one of the luckier ones among the countless living beings on the Dou Shen continent.

  He was born into a legendary family - the Wanchao Li Family.

  It is said that the Li family's ancestors also had a person of Dou Huang level, but this ancestor didn't like to establish any power, so he just left behind a decent foundation for his descendants and then went missing.

  The Li family's descendants relied on the various gongfa and fighting skills left behind by their ancestors, and stood firm in the Wancheng area, becoming a rather powerful family.

  That "Li Yi" should have been able to take a smooth path as a strong person with this family background. However, from his memory, Li Yi clearly knew that the previous guy had no intention of getting stronger, he was just a thorough second-generation ancestor, and he was greedy for flowers and colors to the extreme, relying on his own family background, and didn't know how many good women were harmed.

  That day, this young master of the second generation inexplicably set his sights on the eldest daughter of another prominent family in Wancheng City - the Mo family. Moreover, he successfully deceived that eldest daughter into going to a mountain valley and even gave her anesthetic drugs.

  It just so happens that the young lady also seems to be a cultivator of internal energy, and although she was given an anaesthetic, before falling softly, she still managed to give that "Li Yi" a heavy slap.

  If Li Yi wasn't mistaken, then with that one palm strike, the previous Li Yi was already dead, and as for himself, he had coincidentally come back to life in his identity.

  But he's dead now and has left a huge mess for himself...

  In his past life as an assassin, Li Yi was able to remain rational in any situation. This state of mind that ordinary people found hard to accept, he let out a slight sigh and accepted it, even starting to think about how to survive in this world where the strong preyed on the weak.

  The only thing that makes him a bit depressed is that his current body is inferior to the one in his previous life by who knows how many times, and he can't bring with him the various tools he carefully crafted in his past life. If it weren't for this, with those things, he might have been able to blaze his own trail.

  It seems that the current situation is to pretend to be the previous "Li Yi" young master, and then find an opportunity to try to cultivate the so-called Dou Qi, which is the best choice.

  Li Yi shook his head and slowly opened his eyes. An ancient-style house appeared in his line of sight.

  Everything in the house is obviously wooden, but it's all exquisite. In the corner of the room, a stick of incense was slowly burning, emitting a faint fragrance.

  Li Yi slightly furrowed his brow, this fragrance was inexplicably strange, although the taste was extremely good and had a calming effect on the mind, but such things were mostly toxic to some extent. Long-term use would not be beneficial to the body, and his current frailty was likely related to this as well.

  The surroundings were quiet, and it was clear that Young Master Li Yi had previously "won people's hearts". At this time, no one dared to disturb his rest. However, this situation was what Li Yi liked the most.

  He slowly got up, stretched his body, and the weakness made him laugh bitterly for a while. Then he picked up a bowl of water from the table and walked to the corner of the wall, casually extinguishing the incense burner.

  Just then, a faint sound of footsteps came from outside the house.

  Li Yi's heart skipped a beat as he quickly returned to bed and continued to pretend to be unconscious.

  A moment later, a soft "creak" sound came, and the door had been pushed open.

  "Master Li Yishao..."

  Someone called out in a low voice.

  Lying on the bed, Li Yi's whole body couldn't help but shrink back, this person's tone was respectful, but the murderous aura that couldn't be concealed no matter what made Li Yi's nerves tense.

  Although he also knew that his current situation was absolutely not optimistic, but he absolutely did not expect that in this situation, there would actually be an assassin coming to find him.

  As the newcomer saw Li Yi motionless on the bed, he seemed to have let out a cold laugh. Then, a "whooshing" sound was heard, and a snow-bright sword aura flashed through the room, stabbing fiercely towards Li Yi on the bed.

  This sword is gathering momentum for a strike, and it's clear that the opponent's skills are absolutely not inferior, actually preparing to pierce Li Yi with one sword.

  Li Yi let out a muffled grunt and fortunately he had been prepared, his two feet fiercely kicked against the wall, and his whole body rolled off the bed.

  It's just that the other party is obviously a master, and this sword is accumulating momentum for release. How can Li Yi completely dodge it?

  As soon as he landed on the ground, he felt a chill in his back. A cold breath had already torn through the clothes on his back, and fresh blood spurted out instantly.

  Li Yi's whole body was suddenly covered in cold sweat, although he had experienced countless life-and-death situations throughout his life, but this was the first time he felt so powerless.

  If it were the body of his previous life, he could make the other party go see Yanluo Wang before even touching himself.

  There are no ifs in this world, Li Yi just grumbled to himself and rolled on the ground, then randomly picked up a chair and threw it at his opponent.

  He saw the other party sneer, his long sword stirred, a snow-bright sword energy flashed by, and he heard a "boom" sound. That chair suddenly split into four or five pieces.

  But it was this moment of effort that allowed Li Yifei to quickly get up, he retreated a few steps, turned his head and looked clearly at the appearance of the person who came.

  All he saw was the other person in black, with a black cloth covering his face, only a pair of eyes full of murderous intent, and the long sword in his hand shining brightly, pointing at himself. Seeing himself making such a move, he just coldly laughed and pounced on him again.

  His opponent's long sword had a snow-like aura that was constantly boiling, and by the standards of this world, being able to condense one's aura onto their weapon was the mark of a true warrior.

  Li Yi wasn't quite clear about how formidable a Dou Shi could be, but thinking back to the battle between Li Yuan and Mo Qing in the small valley that day, it was evident that a Dou Shi was absolutely not someone to be trifled with.

  Fortunately, the other party seemed to be afraid of startling someone as well, so they didn't use that powerful fighting technique. If they had, I wouldn't have been able to escape even if I had ten lives.

  But most importantly, Li Yi could clearly sense at this moment that his opponent was not a professional!

  He might be an assassin, but he's absolutely not a professional one. Let alone other things, at this moment, the person who wants to assassinate Li Yi, in Li Yi's eyes, is formidable but absolutely a rookie.

  If they were of equal strength, Li Yi was confident that he could take him down before the other party even realized it, and with such a troublesome opponent, where would he still be considered an assassin?

  That man saw Li Yi motionless and swung his long sword, pouncing on him again.

  Li Yi had calmed down at this moment, seeing the other party's sword thrusting over, he kicked one foot on the table in front of him, taking advantage of this opportunity to block the opponent for half a minute. Then he grabbed the Zen incense holder beside him and violently smashed it towards the opponent's face.

  The opponent sneered repeatedly, and the long sword in his hand burst with energy. Suddenly, two loud explosions were heard, "Boom! Boom!" The table and incense were blown to pieces at the same time. However, this explosion caused a thick layer of dust to spread throughout the room instantly. As a result, both people's lines of sight were filled with smoke, and neither could see the other clearly.

  Someone's voice had already come from afar, and the newcomer slashed a few more swords in the room. Although the fighting energy exploded continuously, it didn't hurt Li Yi at all. Hearing the sound outside getting closer and closer, he had to stomp his feet, burst open the door and retreat.

  After a long time, the dust in the room slowly settled down. Li Yi lay on the bed, sighing in his heart: Unprofessional, unprofessional... This assassin is not professional at all, and didn't even think that he would run back to the bed? With this kind of person as an assassin, it's lucky if they encounter someone easy to bully like me. If they were to meet a more formidable opponent, they probably wouldn't even have a chance to escape. It's really a shame for the assassination world.

  Several black figures quickly flashed into the house, and the first one was Li Yuan. He looked around and his face turned ugly. After looking at the injuries on Li Yi's body, he couldn't help but say in a low voice: "The subordinate did not protect well, please punish me, young master."

  Li Yi slightly shook his head and did what was most in line with his current identity.

  "He shouted loudly, 'What are you people doing?! How could you let that kind of person enter the Li family's courtyard so easily? If I die, will all of you be buried with me?! Hurry up and go chase after him! Don't come back until you've killed that person!"

  Li Yuan's mouth seemed to flash with a hint of coldness, but he still nodded quickly and pointed to the two black-clad men behind him, saying in a low voice: "You two escort Young Master to the main hall, the others follow me."

  As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flashed out quickly, followed by several shadows, leaving only two people standing respectfully in the house.

  Li Yixin's eyes slightly coldly smiled, the expression of Li Yuan just now was all reflected in his eyes. If it were the previous "Li Yixin", he wouldn't understand what it meant, but at this moment, Li Yixin saw a hint of murderous intent from the other's expression.

  If someone had assassinated himself just now and Li Yuan didn't know about it beforehand, then that would be a ghost...

  Recalling what happened in the valley before...

  No matter how you look at it, Li Yishao's life before wasn't as easy as he had imagined.

  And why everything is like this, if Li Yi's guess is correct, it's probably because of his current identity as the heir of this family!
