Insufficient balance

  "Li Yi, you bastard!"

  Li Yi and Li Jiao were smiling at each other, when a pale-faced youth standing behind Li Jiao suddenly charged towards Li Yi. His hand flashed with a burst of energy, which then condensed into a faint yellow glow.

  "Shuāi zhǎng!" -> "Smashing Bone Palm!"

  "With your skills, you dare to fight with me? Since you're a dog, you should just obediently guard the door, barking wildly at your master is not right!"

  As he watched the palm coming towards him, Li Yi let out a sigh and muttered to himself. Then, he saw that he had casually grabbed something and it landed right on the wrist of this young man who was pouncing over. With a slight twist, a hair-raising "creaking" sound came out.

  Then, before the man could even let out a cry of pain, Li Yi casually slapped him on the back of the head and heard a "boom" as his skull was smashed heavily onto the ground, the cry of pain being violently suppressed in his throat.

  "Li Yi, what do you mean?" Li Jiao, standing opposite him, saw how forceful Li Yi was being and couldn't help but feel a jump in his heart. The clansman who had rushed out earlier was named Li Xing, although he was a collateral descendant of the Li family, he also had a cultivation base of six crystal yuan energy. It was just unexpected that he couldn't even withstand a single exchange in front of Li Yi.

  Li Yi's face revealed a warm smile, his foot stepped on Li Xing's back, and he casually rubbed it a few times. After feeling Li Xing's ribs emit a faint cry of impending fracture, he glanced at Li Ju and said calmly: "Big brother, look at the dog our Li family raised, not only does it not recognize me as its master, but it even dares to bark wildly at me. If I don't teach it a lesson, wouldn't that be wrong?"

  Li Jiao's eyes flickered slightly, and a fierce glint appeared in his eyes: "Li Yi, do you think we're all dogs?!"

  "Huh, Big Brother, how can you say that about yourself?" Li Yi's feet exerted a slight force, and his direction changed slightly. Li Xing let out a pained cry as both of his hands were crushed to dust. "In my eyes, all of you are my revered brothers... I'm afraid you won't even have time to react, how dare anyone call you dogs? Big Brother, just rest assured! You're the grandson of our Li family's eldest son, after all! If someone dares to call you a dog, I'll definitely take care of them immediately and defend our Li family's honor, like this..."

  As soon as the voice fell, Li Yi's feet exerted even more force, and with a series of cracking sounds, Li Xing, who had been struggling with all his might, suddenly lost all strength to struggle. His face smashed into the ground, making it impossible to see any expression, but large amounts of fresh blood kept gushing out from his head, quickly mixing with the surrounding bloodstains.

  "Ka——" With one last kick, Li Yi sent Li Xing flying into the air, crashing into the wall. He didn't even bother to look at him again, but instead laughed even more radiantly: "Big brother, rest assured, from now on if anyone dares to insult you, it's like insulting me, Li Yi. I, Li Yi, always keep my word, so you can be at ease."

  Li Jue's facial muscles twitched slightly, and the scene in front of him made his back sweat profusely. Was this person still the useless nephew he once knew? If he had previously doubted Li Yi's ability to escape from two fighters, now he was convinced that it was true.

  He forced a strange smile, and said in a low voice: "Then I'll thank my younger brother first... but I still have something to take care of, so I can only leave for now. Another day, I will properly thank you again."

  These two words of thanks from Li Jiao, although spoken calmly, couldn't conceal the gnashing of teeth and the bitter taste within, making one feel uncomfortable upon hearing them.

  The two people behind Li Jiao were also pale, and when they heard Li Jiao say this, they all echoed: "He will definitely thank you well, Young Master Li Yi!"

  "You also dare to call me your younger cousin?"

  Li Yi's face, originally full of smiles, changed slightly. His body moved like a ghost, and in an instant he appeared in front of the last collateral relative of the Li family. His left hand grasped the man's neck, while his right hand slapped down.

  "Bang Bang Bang Bang——"

  A burst of slapping sounds, the man's face had already been slapped to resemble a pig's head, but Li Yi was still not satisfied. He kicked his foot into the opponent's belly, and when he slowly softened, he made a sideways kick, instantly sending the man flying out, crashing into the wall and slowly falling down, looking like he was out of breath.

  After doing all that, Li Yi walked to the door as if nothing had happened, pulled over a chair and sat down, revealing a smile warmer than the sun. He nodded slightly and said: "Big brother, I'm sorry... The dog our Li family raised not only doesn't listen, but also has no self-awareness, actually wanting to be brothers with its master. I had to teach it a lesson... Letting you see this embarrassing scene is really inexcusable. From now on, we should let the servants at home take good care of the doghouse, or else all the dogs will become like this and that would be troublesome for our Li family."

  In the blink of an eye, two people died miserably at Li Yi's hands. This made Li Jiao's heart feel a wave of dizziness. If Li Yi had come with a face full of murderous intent, he wouldn't have been so afraid. But Li Yi's face was full of smiles as he did such things, which really made one's heart feel a chill.

  Seeing Li Jiao and Li Lin's ugly faces, Li Yi finally seemed to notice something. He reached out to dig his ears and said with a sincere face: "Li Jiao big brother, Li Lin brother, why do you two look so ugly? Is it because you went out for a midnight stroll and caught a cold? Ah... this is not good! You are both geniuses of the Li family, and I'm just a useless person. If you don't take care of yourselves, our ancestors will be heartbroken! How about... I've recently learned some medical skills, let me help treat you two brothers, and then you can leave afterwards?"

  Seeing Li Yi's expression, Li Jiao and Li Lin both felt a chill run down their spines. Li Lin's face trembled for a moment before he spoke in a low voice: "Young Master, are we... aren't we..."

  Li Jiao gritted her teeth and said, "Let's rush out together, Li Yi is simply a pervert!"

  "Kill!"

  Two men rushed towards Li Yi fiercely, but halfway through, a flash of murderous intent suddenly appeared in Li Yao's eyes!

  "Li Lin, I'm sorry!"

  "Slap——" He slapped his palm on Li Lin's back, sending his body flying towards Li Yifei. His own figure suddenly spun around and rushed towards the window.

  "Huh, Li Jiao, why are you walking this way? Are you really dizzy from illness and want to crash into the window? No, no, you should go back......" Li Yi's figure flashed slightly, already blocking the window, his warm smile soothing to the heart.

  But seeing his expression, Li Jiao suddenly took a deep breath and shouted: "Li Yi, don't be too arrogant! Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

  "Seven Slashes!"

  A fierce flame suddenly appeared in Li Jue's palm, this time he had a few points of desperation in it, the Seven Revolving Slash was used, more ruthless and deadly than ever!

  "Reversing Wind Palm." Li Yi's right hand lightly brushed forward, just in time to block Li Jue's palm. Then, he slightly pulled it towards this side, and saw Li Jue's body suddenly crash to the side. Fortunately, he was quite skilled, and managed to stop his body before crashing into the wall. However, despite this, his chest churned with blood and energy, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out.

  "Goodness gracious, Big Brother, you're really not well. Look at you, you've even spat up blood! Could it be some kind of terminal illness?" Li Yi's face was filled with shock and concern, like a little brother worrying about his big brother. "I think you should rest for a while, Big Brother. Constantly moving around isn't good for your body."

  Li Jiao slowly came back to her senses, gave Li Yi a strange look, and then gritted her teeth: "Li Yi! You're cruel!"

  "How cruel!" Li Yi's face was filled with shock and confusion. "Big brother, you're really framing me! I clearly saw you personally beat up Li Lin to the point of flying away, yet you still say I'm cruel?! Big brother, you should understand that killing one's own kin is also a great sin! Look, look, you've tortured Li Lin into what state?!"

  Li Yi slowly backed away a few steps, helped Li Lin up from the ground where he was struggling and crying out in pain, grabbed his intact right hand, and exclaimed in surprise: "Elder cousin Li Jue, you actually broke Elder Cousin Li Lin's hand!"

  As soon as the words fell, a cracking sound was heard, and Li Lin's two hands were almost simultaneously twisted off by Li Yi. He didn't even have time to let out a miserable cry before he fainted.

  Li Yi shook his head and sighed, "Big brother, you're not doing the right thing. Li Lin is also a member of our Li family's collateral branch, even if he offended you, you shouldn't treat him like this! Look at him, look at him, who knows how many ribs are broken!"

  As he spoke, he casually slapped his hand down, and a palm had already landed on Li Lin's chest. Suddenly, Li Lin's chest sank in, although he had fainted, but this slap made him wake up with pain, only to find that he didn't even have the strength to let out a miserable cry.

  Supporting Li Lin, who was panting heavily, Li Yi's face was filled with distress: "Alas, Big Brother Li Yao, your methods are really too ruthless, to the point where you're treating even your own clansmen like this... If the elders were to find out, I don't know what would happen... But rest assured, Big Brother, no matter what, you will always be my most respected big brother. I definitely won't let anyone else know about this matter... So, only heaven and earth know, you know, I know, as for Li Lin, he won't know anything!"

  Li Yi's hand slowly fell onto Li Lin's neck, and with a slight exertion of force, a string of blood bubbles emerged from Li Lin's mouth, and his entire head twisted to one side in an eerie manner.

  Li Yi casually flung aside Li Lin's corpse, pulled out a handkerchief from his sleeve and slowly wiped the bloodstains off his hands. Then he looked at Li Jiao with a serious expression, hesitating as he spoke: "Elder brother Li Jiao, you've killed so many of our clansmen, don't you think that's enough? Can you spare my life?"

  Li Jiao's back was already soaked with cold sweat. What happened in front of him, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, how could he have believed it?

  That self-proclaimed trash nephew actually easily slaughtered his three subordinates, although they were all just seven-crystal yuanqi-less clansmen, but however you say it, he's still a top-notch expert. But why did they not even have the strength to fight back in front of Li Yi?

  And yet, the move he had just used with all his might was actually blocked by Li Yi so easily. Could it be... that this kid had really advanced to a Dou Zhe!?

  At this point, Li Jiao only felt that his breathing had become a bit more labored. If his guess was true, then the child's talent was truly terrifying to the extreme!

  "Li Yi! What exactly do you want?!" Li Jiao asked, gritting his teeth, unaware that his voice had already trembled slightly.

  "What do I want?" Li Yi's face was full of innocence and confusion. "Big brother, I don't want anything...I just saw that you're seriously ill and wanted to help take a look at your condition out of kindness. If you're not willing, then forget it. Unfortunately, in the future, Elder can only help you collect your corpse. But dying from an acute illness is also unavoidable..."

  As he spoke, Li Yi shook his head repeatedly, with a face full of regret...
