Insufficient balance

  Li Jiao's face changed color several times, and finally he sighed bitterly and said in a low voice: "Li Yi, what do you want to do before you let me go!"

  "Spare you? Big Brother Li is joking again," Li Yi said, seemingly shocked and sincere. "Big Brother Li, you are known as the number one master among the younger generation of the Li family, a rare genius, and also the young master of a noble family. What about me, a useless person who can't even compare to you? I think Big Brother is really ill, it seems that little brother won't be able to help you with your illness."

  Li Jue hesitated for a moment, then slowly knelt down, kneeling in a pool of blood. In a gloomy voice that was hoarse to the extreme, he begged: "Young Master Li Yi... no, not Young Master Li Yi, but rather Lord Li Yi, please spare my life! I know that in your eyes, I am nothing but a dog. Can't you, as a great lord, show mercy and let me go? Please, just spare this dog's life!"

  "Big Brother is actually a dog?" Li Yi's face was shocked, he looked up and down at Li Jiao for several eyes, then continued to say, "Big Brother you are joking again, this dog is not like you, the few dogs in my family are all crawling on four legs, Big Brother you...".

  Li Yi's words were not yet finished, when Li Jiao had already fallen to the ground, crawling around for a while, before saying with a flattering face: "Young Master Li Yi... look, look, I'm just a dog, just a dog raised by the Li family."

  Li Yiman's face showed a hint of puzzlement, he furrowed his brow and said: "It doesn't seem like it, dogs will still bark, they will still stick out their tongues..."

  "Woof woof"

  Li Jiao had already shouted out loud, he spat out his tongue and looked at Li Yi with a flattering face.

  Li Yi finally nodded, smiled faintly and said: "This is indeed a dog, come on, try it out... lift your hand, lift your foot, stick out your tongue... go get it back, remember to use your mouth..."

  As he spoke, Li Yi casually broke off a piece of wood and threw it towards the corner of the room. Li Ju's figure quickly darted over, her hands reaching out to grab the piece of wood.

  "Big brother, dogs can't use their hands to grab things." Li Yi's soft voice sounded.

  Li Jiao's face changed several times, and finally he gritted his teeth, stuffed the wooden stick into his mouth, and when he turned back, he had a flattering expression.

  Hahaha...

  Li Yi let out a soft chuckle, followed by loud laughter, laughing uncontrollably...

  It wasn't until Li Yi clapped his hands that he said, "Brilliant, indeed brilliant... Eldest Brother is indeed the first person of the Li family. Whatever you pretend to be, you'll look like it. Even if you pretend to be a dog, you'll still look like a dog. If it weren't for the few clothes on your body, I would have thought you were really my dog from the Li family... How about this? From now on, Eldest Brother will just be a dog in front of me. As for this dog's life, I will naturally spare it. What do you think?"

  Li Jiao's face was full of flattering smiles, saying: "Thank you, Young Master Li Yi, for sparing my dog's life... Thank you, Young Master Li Yi, for sparing my dog's life..."

  Li Yi nodded and said, "In that case, get out of here!"

  Seeing Li Yi's arrogant expression, Li Jiao sneered in her heart.

  "Li Yi! Li Yi! You're nothing more than this!"

  But the expression on his heart would not be revealed in the slightest, and he continued to crawl slowly on the ground. When he passed by Li Yi's side, he even stretched out his tongue to please him, and only then did he slowly crawl behind his back.

  After climbing a few more steps, his body suddenly burst out and pounced on Li Yi, with the palm of his hand releasing a surge of yuanqi that had been condensed for who knows how long.

  "Vermilion Bird's Low Rank, Toothless and Shattered!!!"

  Wú yá pò, Lǐ jiā mì chuán, zhū què dī jiē dǒu jì, níng jù quán shēn dǒu qì chéng yī jī, qì jìn guài yì, rú dú shé zhī yá.

  Translation:

  Toothless Break, Li Family's Secret Transmission, Vermilion Bird Low-Level Fighting Skill, Gathering the Whole Body's Fighting Energy into One Strike, Vigorous and Unusual, Like a Poisonous Snake's Fang.

  This move is usually only qualified for people with elder status or above in the Li family to practice, and Li Jiao knowing this move is obviously not in line with the rules.

  The air around him let out a burst of explosive sounds due to Li Hao's strike, and as his fist wind swept by, small whirlwinds erupted in the air. His sleeves were already blown into powder from this move alone, and this seemingly low-key punch carried an astonishingly powerful aura.

  "You actually know this move!"

  Li Yi's expression, which had been relaxed until now, changed in an instant. Having already advanced to the rank of Dou Zhe, he was even more sensitive to the flow of Heaven and Earth's Yuan Qi around him. Although he had long known that Li Jiao still had a move left to counter him, he hadn't expected that this move would actually have the power to break through his defenses at the Yuan Qi level.

  It seems that high-level martial arts have their own unique characteristics, which is no wonder why everyone yearns for high-level martial arts!

  "Don't think you're the only one who knows how to fight!"

  Li Yi's sudden turn, his palm facing Li Jiao, this punch grabbed past, the fingers and palms between the aura flashed continuously, forming small whirlpools.

  "Hmm——"

  At the moment when fists and palms intersected, a black aura flashed on Li Yi's right hand, a surge of aura burst forth, and Li Jiao's broken body was transformed into nothingness. With a loud crashing sound, a series of "cracking" sounds were heard, and Li Jiao's right hand suddenly twisted in one direction, finally shattering all the bones, with his hand twisted like a hemp rope.

  "Ah——"

  A loud and earth-shattering scream came out, Li Yi's body flew backward, hitting the wall before stopping, with a few strands of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

  Li Jue's left hand was now resting on his right shoulder, and the expression on his face had contorted to an extreme due to the pain. He could clearly feel that under this frantic twisting, the bones and meridians of his right hand were completely severed, and his right hand was rendered useless from then on.

  He looked at Li Yi in disbelief, his trump card, self-proclaimed invincible under the heavens, and Li Yi's previous performance was indeed...

  He gritted his teeth and stared at Li Yi, saying word by word: "Bastard... bastard... bastard... how is it possible, how is it possible, just three months, three months... you're actually a fighter now! How is it possible! How is it possible!!!"

  Li Yi let out a slight sigh, and in his heart, he still had a few points of luck. This time, the second layer of Feng Zhang's palm, he was also using it for the first time, fortunately, the effect was extremely obvious. However, compared to the first layer of Huajin, this Jiaojin, although its power was astonishing, but in order to withstand the opponent's Qi entering the body, it seemed a bit inappropriate. If he encountered an opponent stronger than himself, and couldn't dissolve the opponent's Qi at the moment it entered his body, he would likely suffer a loss in one move. It seems that using Jiaojin from now on will require caution.

  "A fighter?" Looking at Li Jiao's astonished face, Li Yi slightly shook his head, "A fighter, but it's just the beginning... The path of the strong is long, what do you know about this point?"

  It seems that he felt he had said something unnecessary, Li Yi turned his head to look at Li Jiao's eyes stuck on the wall, and then let out a sigh, saying: "Big brother, originally you were content with being a dog, I was really going to spare your dog life... but you wouldn't listen, doing dog things yet still wanting to bite back at your master, it seems that if I don't kill you, it won't do... so sorry, big brother..."

  As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yi's right hand slightly raised, a black aura burst out from his fingertips, emitting an astonishing killing intent.

  Perhaps he had understood, Li Yi would never let him off the hook, but instead of getting angry, Li Jiao calmed down. He stared at Li Yi for a moment before sneering and saying: "If you want to kill me, then go ahead and do it! Anyway, Li Han is almost dead... After Li Han dies, Grandfather will definitely not let you off the hook either! Li Yi, ah Li Yi! I, Li Jiao, will be waiting for you in the underworld! I'm just taking a step ahead of you!"

  "Threaten me?" Li Yi smiled faintly, "But don't worry, big brother. Although I know you're a tough guy and not afraid of death... but would I kill you so easily? You're not like those useless people like Li Lin or Li Xing, you're the grandson of the Great Elder! Not only are you useful in many ways, but you must also know a lot, right? I haven't asked you about all these things, and yet I wouldn't let you die?"

  Li Jiao's face changed color, as if he had thought of something. His left hand surged with yuanqi, and it was already blasting towards his own chest!

  "Bang——"

  Li Yi's figure was like a ghost, and in an instant he had flashed to Li Jiao's side. He casually slapped his hand on Li Jiao's left shoulder, and the hand that had been raised fell weakly back down.

  Li Yi slowly stretched out his hand and grasped Li Jue's neck, revealing a smile that was handsome to the extreme: "Big brother... dying is such an easy thing? Just close your eyes and it's over. But while dying may be easy, living on is even harder...... Do you want to try?"

  Li Jiao sneered repeatedly, and at this moment he also knew that he was no match for Li Yi, so he simply closed his eyes.

  Li Yi grasped the hand he had grabbed in his own, gently massaging it. As he did so, he said calmly: "Big brother, let's play a fun game now? From now on, I'll ask you questions. If your answers don't satisfy me, I'll crush one of your bones... Don't doubt whether I have the power to do this, because trying isn't a good idea."

  Li Jiao opened her eyes and gave Li Yi a cold glance, saying: "Pfft!"

  Li Yi's face was expressionless, and he simply shook his head slightly and sighed: "What a pity, I don't like this answer, Big Brother, sorry!"

  After a moment, a chilling voice slowly echoed in the room. Li Yi seemed to be thoroughly enjoying this, and he slowly, slowly crushed one of Li Jue's fingers into powder. Looking at his cold sweat and pale lips, he continued: "The next question-and-answer game is about to continue... Eldest brother, I think you should understand by now that although I like playing with you, I won't keep playing forever. So, please don't test my patience..."

  "The first question, where did you learn that toothless breaking move?" Li Yi asked calmly.

  "Wu Wu Ge..." Li Jue hesitated for a moment before saying in a low voice, "At last year's clan gathering, I didn't attend, but Grandfather used his authority to let me go inside and find that scroll of the Toothless Breaking Fist technique. However, he told me that no matter what, I must never use this move."

  Li Yi smiled and said, "Then aren't you very unfilial? The great elder's painstaking efforts must have been to let you obtain the status of family head in the future, and then openly teach you the art of combat, and create a legendary story for your family. Unfortunately, you didn't achieve that... Alright, second question, what's going on with those two people?"

  Having said that, Li Yi pointed at the two men in black on the ground.

  "Those... those two people..." Li Jiao swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in a low voice, "They were sent by Grandfather to deal with you. As long as you die, naturally there will be no one competing with me for the position of next head of the household."

  "Someone from our family?" Li Yi said faintly, "But if I remember correctly, it seems that no one in our family knows how to use stealth combat skills. Those two people seem to be geniuses, they actually came up with a set of combat skills on their own..."

  Looking at Li Yi's faint expression, Li Jiao didn't know why he felt a sudden emptiness in his heart. He took a deep breath and quickly said: "A few years ago, when Third Grandfather's grandson went out to practice, he obtained a scroll of stealth combat skills in an ancient ruin. Later, he gave it to Third Grandfather, who used the stealth combat skills to train some members of the clan..."

  " Ancient ruins? Li Chen?" Li Yi furrowed his brow, that seemingly useless third uncle actually had such an opportunity?

  "Alright, so that stealth combat suit..."

  Looking at Li Yi's eyes, Li Jiao shook his head like a rattle drum and said: "I won't, I won't. Grandfather said that the cost of practicing that set of fighting skills is too high, so only three uncles in the family have practiced that move as a killer move for critical moments!"
