Insufficient balance

  The remaining members of the Li family were all elite among the collateral elites, except for a few relatives who couldn't see through Li Yi's depth. The rest were all strong fighters at the peak of Dou Zhan. Such characters, having reached this point, naturally had an air of pride in their hearts, making it impossible for them to join others in attacking Li Yi, who seemed like just a crystal Dou fighter.

  Moreover, Li Yi's strength had already shocked them, if the siege could win, it would be fine. If they lost, they would absolutely lose face.

  "Li Yishao, if you retreat now, I won't make a move." A man with an icy face took a step forward, his hands empty of any weapons, but the palms were unusually thick and large, clearly indicating that he was skilled in a powerful fighting technique of the Li family.

  Li Yi slightly furrowed his brow, this person was just standing there, but gave him an inexplicable sense of oppression. He didn't know which one of those formidable cousins he was, but that didn't hinder Li Yi. He simply shook his head and revealed a good-looking smile, saying lightly: "Do you think I can still back down in this situation?"

  He looked around and immediately let out a sigh, saying: "Indeed can't... but I won't take advantage of you either. What I'm good at is bare-handed combat skills. You can't beat me empty-handed, so I'll give you time to pick up your weapon."

  Li Yi wouldn't lose his composure at this time, he slightly shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, for me, having or not having a weapon is the same, let's stop being so polite!"

  He didn't try to persuade him anymore, and nodded lightly, saying: "Alright then, in that case, please be careful, Young Master Li Yi."

  As soon as he finished speaking, a faint flame-like aura began to emanate from his fingertips, drifting about like a fire. Li Yi took one glance and immediately recognized it - this was the Fire Cloud Fist, an ancient technique passed down through the Li family.

  This Huo Yun Jue has been widely circulated in the Li family and many people have practiced it. It is also a sharp and unparalleled skill.

  Standing still, the man's fingers slightly rotated, his right hand had already made a slanted slash, chopping towards Li Yi. Suddenly, a burst of wind-breaking sound was heard, and a red aura condensed into a sharp blade, slashing towards Li Yi at an angle.

  He felt the sharp aura tearing through the air, and Li Yi's eyes twitched slightly. He took a step back with his body, and a black energy blade appeared on his right hand, slashing forward at an angle.

  "Boom——"

  Two streams of aura collided in mid-air, producing a loud crash. However, Li Yi's aura was clearly weakened by several degrees. He furrowed his brow slightly and couldn't help but take another half-step back.

  This was the first time Li Yi had retreated since entering the hall, and it was also the first time he had adopted a hard-hitting approach. However, this one move had already caused his chest to churn with blood and energy, and a hint of bloody flavor seemed to spread from his mouth.

  "This peak strong fighter is indeed different from ordinary trash." Li Yi let out a faint sigh in his heart, "But...a fighter, after all, is just a fighter!"

  At this thought, Li Yi couldn't help but burst out laughing. He seemed to be carrying a hint of self-mockery as he muttered: "It seems I'm really not suited for a head-on collision, so you'd better be careful!"

  As soon as the voice fell, Li Yi's figure shot forward like lightning. The man slightly furrowed his brow, and with a slight wave of his hands, another blast of energy shot towards Li Yi.

  Li Yi's body tilted to the left in an almost impossible instant, and a stream of Dou Qi brushed against his face, cutting off a section of his flying hair, but despite this, his right hand had already landed on the person's chest.

  "With a 'crack' sound, the person's chest suddenly caved in, and fine blood threads flowed out of his seven orifices. He took several steps back, and then another mouthful of fresh blood spurted out."

  Li Yi's face revealed a hint of amusement, but his right palm was already trembling with an uncontrollable spasm, almost imperceptibly shaking.

  The strong at the peak of the Dou Zhe is indeed not to be underestimated, although he was injured by his own move, but due to the counter-shock force, his right hand had lost its combat effectiveness for a while.

  This situation made Li Yi's heart feel a chill, having already fought to this point, how could he retreat at such a critical moment.

  "Up with the knife!" He finally uttered a sentence in a light tone.

  He casually caught the long knife thrown by Li Nana, and with a slight tremble of his left hand, he drew a dazzling arc of light.

  The hall was filled with a burst of astonishment, just now Li Yi's right hand wielded the sword, sharp beyond compare, but at this moment he switched to his left hand holding the knife, and with just a slight shake, the momentum was already no less than before.

  In fact, for Li Yi, there was no great difference between his left and right hands. Ordinary people might have a habitual hand, but Li Yi had overcome this weakness in his previous life. And after coming to this world, he didn't let go of this skill either.

  With a sword in hand, Li Yi's body emitted an astonishing killing intent. He gazed at the remaining few people in front of him and said calmly: "Come on together, don't waste my time!"

  The two men standing in front of them exchanged a glance, and a hint of astonishment flashed across each other's eyes. It was clear that the previous person's defeat had surprised them greatly. Only now did they carefully take a closer look at this young master of the Li family, their hands simultaneously resting on the hilts of their swords at their waists.

  "Clang——"

  Another crisp sound, the swords intersected in mid-air, bursting into a string of sparks. Among the two, only the one on the left took the initiative to strike first, while the one on the right narrowed his eyes, seemingly wanting to find out what flaws there were in Li Yi's swordsmanship.

  But at this moment, Li Yi's knife momentum was different from the straightforward and strange swordsmanship of just now. His knife momentum was extremely long, and every strike made people have to defend with all their might, without even a little room for dodging, and could only resist with all their might.

  Li Yi slashed three knives in a row, forcing the person in front of him to retreat half a step. The originally dense knife momentum suddenly contracted, and the back of the knife hit the left side, just falling on the person's wrist. In an instant, his right hand trembled, and the long sword in his hand had already fallen to the ground.

  This time, although he didn't get hurt, this person was shocked and didn't have the slightest intention of continuing to fight.

  The scene momentarily froze, Li Yi slowly withdrew, revealing only a faint smile. The defeated man's face turned red and white, finally he let out a bitter laugh and retreated backwards.

  Li Yi let out a cold laugh and with a flick of his wrist, the long knife in his hand flashed once more as he charged forward again.

  "That's enough!"

  It was just a loud shout, and suddenly he remembered that the one who shouted was none other than the eldest of the Li family.

  At this moment, the old man's face was ugly to the extreme. He stared at Li Yi, who was walking horizontally for a hundred steps, as if he wanted to swallow him alive. His eyes changed unpredictably, and it could be seen that his heart was complicated to the extreme.

  Mo Yi, who was sitting in a superior position, seemed to understand the thoughts of this elder.

  This elder had always thought that the collateral branch of the Li family would take over as the head of the household, and originally thought that the direct line of the Li family had already declined, and there was no one to succeed Li Han. So, taking over as the head of the household wouldn't be too difficult.

  But unexpectedly, Li Yi, who was known for being useless, actually showed such strength. At Li Yi's age, he was able to defeat nearly a hundred of the Mo family's personal guards and then went on to defeat dozens of people in the Li family without showing any signs of weakness. Such talent is a rare find in a century. With this display, unless someone were to kill him on the spot, who else in the Li family could surpass his reputation? The position of head of the Li family was undoubtedly his!

  At the same time, Mo Yi's heart was also filled with complex emotions. Originally, the Dragon family had produced a Long Ao Tian, which already made him unhappy, but now the Li family had produced a Li Yi who was subtly superior to Long Ao Tian. With the appearance of these two figures, it may not be apparent what would happen, but decades later, the Mo family would certainly be suppressed. This feeling made Mo Yi feel uneasy and worried. He began to consider whether he should abandon those four old ghosts tonight and cooperate with Li Han instead, so that he wouldn't be oppressed by the Li family in the future.

  This complex thought flashed through Mo Yi's mind, and he himself felt unbelievable.

  As for Li Han, he was now bursting into laughter. He had appeared at the Mo residence today with countless backup plans, calculating all possible situations so that he wouldn't be at a disadvantage. However, he hadn't expected his useless son to single-handedly turn the tables and display such astonishing strength. From now on, how could the several old ghosts from the Li family's collateral branch possibly compete with him? After all, the most favored member of the collateral branch, Li Xiu, was now a useless person, while Li Yi would be the most stunning genius of this generation in the Li family.

  Li Han's fingers were already slowly flowing with fighting energy, he had made up his mind that if anyone dared to move against him today, he would make them regret ever coming into this world.

  "Li Yi, what exactly do you want!?" The Grand Elder asked in a low voice with a gloomy face.

  He had originally wanted to order the remaining people to rush up and kill them all, but thinking of Li Yi's current body, his heart suddenly felt a chill. If he himself also lost all the remaining people, then he would never want to ask for the position of family head in this life again.

  Li Yi didn't expect the Great Elder to actually drink himself into a stupor, but at this moment, although he appeared calm on the surface, his legs had already gone soft and his physical strength had reached its limit. If it weren't for the support of his inner energy, who knows how many times he would have collapsed by now.

  After all, killing nearly a hundred people and chopping down dozens of them, let alone every one of them being the best fighters, even if more than a hundred ordinary people stood there being chopped, they would still be able to chop until their hands were numb.

  Such a rare opportunity, Li Yi naturally did not want to miss it. He steadied himself and his gaze fell on the Great Elder's body from afar. With a faint smile, he said: "Great Elder is joking, I think this question should be asked of you instead. As the chief elder of the Li family, your duty is to protect the Li family and preserve its legacy. But instead, you want me, Li Yi, to marry into the Mo family and sever my connection with the Li family's direct lineage...I wonder what you really want, Great Elder?"

  "Great Elder, you've sent people to assassinate me multiple times. Tonight, I didn't want to show up, but you had this useless person bring two clan uncles to kill their way into my room. If not for a bit of luck on my part, wouldn't my head be rolling on the ground by now? What do you hope to achieve with such actions, Great Elder?"

  "Great Elder, you're using that incident from three months ago to force my father to yield and hand over the position of head of the household to you. You even allowed outsiders to come to our Li family's Martial Arts Pavilion to freely select and take away our fighting techniques and skills. Don't you know that those are the foundation of our Li family's thousand-year legacy? You're willing to abandon even our foundation, I don't know what you want, Great Elder!"

  At this moment, both sides had already torn their faces apart. Li Yi pointed out the old man's mistakes one by one, making his face turn black with anger. It is worth noting that although everyone was aware of these things, Li Yi's words made it impossible for him and the old man to turn back.

  The old man's anger, which had been suppressed for a long time, was suddenly ignited by Li Yi's words. He let out a cold laugh and his eyes flashed with a red glow as the murderous intent he had been holding back surged up like a tsunami.

  At this moment, there was nothing else in his eyes except for Li Yi with a faint smile.

  "Rampage! Outrageous! Damn it!!!"
