Chapter 169 Tooth for Tooth
"To be honest, I really didn't expect it. Aren't you afraid that the Wang family will suddenly attack you?"
"Hmph, they can't even protect themselves right now, how can they have time to deal with my Li family?"
As he spoke, he spread out his hands and condensed a huge amount of true energy in his palms. Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this. At this moment, he was no match for this guy at all. Not to mention that he had the support of the great formation, even without the support of the great formation he would not be his opponent.
After Li Yun finished accumulating strength, he directly struck out with a palm towards Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen had to take it even if he didn't want to. A magic circle appeared behind him, and two swift swords immediately flew out and rushed towards Li Yun.
He directly blocked the attack. As the two of them exerted force at the same time, the double swords and palm wind exploded and scattered. Both of them retreated several steps. Li Yun raised his hand again to accumulate strength and said, "Boy, I wonder how long you can hold on." Then he attacked Zhou Chen again.
The previous attack used the demonic power of the demon pattern, which had no effect on Zhou Chen. Now the demonic power of the demon pattern has been exhausted. If he wants to use it again, he has to call upon the true energy in his body.
Zhou Chen held the Ice Soul Knife in his hand and swung it out, activating the magical power of Phantom Killing, and cut off his attack with one blow, "I just want to know what kind of poison you gave me?"
"It's okay to tell you. This poison is called Miexi. As long as you don't use your true energy, this poison will not take effect in your entire life. If you want to use your true energy, the poison will take effect immediately. Even if your true energy is strong, you won't be able to hold on for long."
"So that's how it is." Seeing Li Yun palming towards him again, Zhou Chen immediately activated the water realm to resist. However, this attack was obviously stronger than the previous two. The water realm could not resist and was directly shattered by the palm wind. Zhou Chen's body was also knocked away at this moment.
He fell heavily to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. The next moment, Li Yun came to him and stepped on his chest, "Boy, do you have any last words?"
Zhou Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Why, do you still want to help me fulfill my wish?"
"No, that won't happen. Just wait until you die and I will capture your wife. As for what I will do, you should be able to guess."
After hearing his words, veins popped up on Zhou Chen's face. He wanted to kill the hateful guy in front of him, but he was seriously injured and couldn't resist at all. In the end, he only said "You will definitely regret this", and then endless cold air burst out of his body. Seeing this, Li Yun hurriedly retreated. Although he retreated in time, a thick layer of frost still formed on his right leg.
Looking at Zhou Chen's whole body covered with frost, which then turned into ice chips and scattered in the wind, he felt so happy in his heart, "Huh, I finally solved this trouble of yours." Then he waved his hand and let out his true energy to melt the frost on his legs.
At the same time, a figure in the distance was watching everything here from afar, then turned around and left.
Leng Yiyao was practicing the God-killing Technique with her eyes closed when she suddenly heard a noise outside the door. She immediately opened her eyes and slashed towards the door with a knife. However, the murderous look on her face disappeared without a trace the moment the door opened. She threw away the long knife in her hand and pounced forward.
"Follow me quickly and don't take anything."
Leng Yiyao followed the people and left without hesitation. When the people from the Li family arrived, they found that there was no one here.
On the second day, a piece of news spread throughout Wu'an County. The Wang family was attacked by a mysterious master last night and suffered heavy casualties. The head of the family, Wang Liu, was seriously injured and on the verge of death. The Li family took the opportunity to take back the previously lost property.
As for Zhou Chen's case, the Li family explained that a mysterious master attacked that night, and Zhou Chen fought desperately to defend the Li family. However, he was not strong enough and was killed by a palm strike from the man in black. As for his body, it was shattered to pieces by the palm strike.
Baihu didn't say anything about this, he just said that he deserved the consequences if he was not as skilled as others. When the other team members heard about this, they all sneered. No one spoke for him except Leng Ningshuang and Wang Yong.
During their stay, the two of them went to Zhou Chen's yard many times, but even Leng Yiyao was missing. Afraid that Leng Yiyao would be upset, the two of them searched for her many times in the city, but naturally found nothing.
The two also suspected that it was the Li family who plotted to harm Zhou Chen, and Leng Yiyao might have been captured by them. However, they couldn't say anything without evidence, let alone reporting it to Baihu. Leng Ningshuang was sure that Baihu would not care about this matter, and even said that Zhou Chen's death might be related to him.
A few days later, the Li family had taken back all their properties and also occupied a lot of the Wang family's properties. During this period, many Jianghu warriors joined the Li family. Although they were all low-ranking warriors, they were outnumbered. That day, Li Tian was enjoying himself in Yihong Building, hugging a beauty on each side, and there were many dancers dancing in front of him. Suddenly, the door was pushed open.
"Who is it? Don't you know that I'm busy?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dark shadow came in front of him. "Who are you? Get out of here!" He was about to stand up to push him, but he lost his balance and fell down again.
The man in black stretched out his hand and slapped him on the forehead. Although it seemed like a simple palm, it contained true energy and directly shattered his brain. Li Tian died on the spot. The dancers in the room were so scared when they saw this scene that they screamed and ran away.
When the guards arrived, there was only a cold corpse left in the room.
Li Yun was furious when he saw his son's body and beat to death the two guards who were protecting his son on the spot. They were also innocent. They tried their best to rush over when they heard the noise, but they were still a step too late.
Li Yun cried loudly while holding his son's body. He was already 250 years old and had only this one son. He had long lost the ability to have children, and now his lineage was completely cut off. As for Li Mu's descendants, he killed them all the moment he learned of Li Mu's death.
Even if Zhou Chen's incident had not happened, Li Yun would have found a way to get rid of Li Mu. All he did was for his son Li Tian. Now that Li Tian is dead, everything he has done will become nothing.
"Tian'er, don't worry, your father will definitely avenge you."
Then he issued an order, "Whoever can catch the murderer will be rewarded with two thousand taels of gold." In an instant, all the warriors in Wu'an County went crazy.
On the seventh day, Li Tian's seventh day, Li Yun stayed alone in the mourning hall to burn paper for his son. The huge Li family was now empty, and all the warriors in the mansion were sent out to track down the whereabouts of the murderer.
At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, a figure stood outside the door, but Li Yun continued to burn paper money for his son without noticing.
It was not until he felt a chill that he noticed the abnormality behind him. "Sir, what brings you to my Li family? Has the murderer of my son been found?"
"I did find it. I wonder what Master Li can give me in exchange."
Li Yun threw out a storage bag without looking back. The man in black took it and said, "There are four thousand taels of gold in it. That should be enough to exchange for your information."
"Haha, the head of the Li family is really rich and powerful." The man in black had been deliberately changing his voice before, and now that he got the gold, he no longer disguised himself. Li Yun felt somewhat familiar with the voice and turned around suddenly. At this time, the man in black had taken off the mask on his head.
Seeing his look, Li Yun was so angry that he trembled all over, "So it's you, haha, it's really you", as soon as he said this, the true energy burst out from his body and the candles in the room went out instantly, the person who came was Zhou Chen, "Li Yun didn't expect that the murderer of your son would be me".
