Chapter 346: You Are Part of the Li Family
"You can't kill me!" Xie Min said with difficulty.
"I kill whoever I want to kill," Li Xiaoyao stated, leaving no room for doubt.
In desperation, Xie Min said, "I am the Fifth Elder of the Xie Family. If you kill me, the Xie Family won't let you off the hook, and neither will the Li Family!"
"The Xie Family?" Li Xiaoyao sneered dismissively. "Never heard of them."
"And as for the Li Family, do you really think I would be intimidated by the Eight Great Sects of Xuan Country?" To Li Xiaoyao, what a load of nonsense those prestigious Eight Great Sects from Xuan Country were.
Perhaps Li Xiaoyao's current strength was limited and not yet sufficient to contend with the Li Family of Xuan Country on his own, but he believed that it wouldn't take too long for him to stand at the same level as them.
This confidence wasn't unfounded; it had a solid foundation.
The Mysterious System, a powerful Golden Body, terrifying cultivation speed, and an inexhaustible supply of Pill Medicine—these were all Li Xiaoyao's trump cards.
"The moment you laid hands on me, you should have anticipated this outcome," Li Xiaoyao said icily, slowly lifting his foot and aiming it at Xie Min's neck, ready to stomp down.
...
Li Shisan escaped from the ancient tomb and ran straight toward the distance without any pause.
Seeing this, Li Yiming felt an inexplicable unease. He could no longer be bothered to stop those Cultivators who were continuously rushing into the tomb, and he turned and ran towards the tomb as well.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the entrance of the burial chamber and saw a disheveled young man, looking utterly bedraggled.
But even more bedraggled than him was Xie Min.
White-haired and disheveled, Xie Min had a collapsed chest and lay on the ground, his complexion filled with terror.
Observing Li Xiaoyao's moving foot, about to stomp down on Xie Min's neck, Li Yiming shouted loudly, "Stop!"
Li Xiaoyao glanced up slightly, looking at the white-haired old man standing at the entrance of the tomb, lifting his eyes a bit as he spoke lightly, "Another Golden Core Realm Cultivator, the foundation of the Li Family is indeed not weak."
"Third Elder, save me!" Xie Min cried for help mournfully.
Li Xiaoyao responded indifferently, "If I want to kill you, no one who comes today will be able to save you."
Listening to Li Xiaoyao's extremely arrogant words, Li Yiming let out a cold snort, "Do you know his identity? Do you know who I am?"
"The Xie Family and Li Family, oh, trying to use the Li Family's prestige to pressure me?" Li Xiaoyao said disdainfully, "As I said, today I will kill him, and no one can change this fact."
Feeling the intense killing intent in Li Xiaoyao's words, Xie Min could no longer be cautious and shouted loudly, "You can't kill me, according to seniority, you should call me 'Fifth Uncle'!"
"Seniority?" Li Xiaoyao burst out laughing, "In the Cultivator's lineage, we respect strength, not age. Do you even qualify to be a senior to me?"
Xie Min hastened to explain, "Not a senior, an elder. I am your elder. You are from the Li Family, the son of the Li Family Head. I am the fifth uncle of the second wife of the Li Family Head. By our family hierarchy, you should call me 'Fifth Uncle'."
The burial chamber instantly fell silent. The Cultivators who rushed in were at first shocked into speechlessness by the scene before them, and then they heard such explosive words, leaving them even more stunned and unsure of what to say next.
Li Xiaoyao was also momentarily dumbfounded. Fifth Uncle? The son of the Li Family Head?
"Hahaha!" Li Xiaoyao laughed uproariously, looking skyward, "You're really saying anything to save your life, trying to cozy up to me, pull strings?"
Xie Min said, "Every word I, Xie Min, have spoken is true. If there is any falsehood, may my Dantian be destroyed, and my Cultivation Level be wasted!"
Li Xiaoyao knew that such a curse was something a Cultivator would dare not make lightly.
Xie Min dared to swear so calmly; could it be that what he said was true?
"Hmph! If I were a member of the Li Family, would you dare to join forces with others to kill me? Do you think I am a three-year-old child?" A fierce light flashed in Li Xiaoyao's eyes.
Everyone has a bottom line and reverse scales, and for Li Xiaoyao, his reverse scales were the women and friends by his side; his bottom line was his identity.
Now that Xie Min dared to use that as a point of contention, it was something he couldn't tolerate.
"Brother Li!" A familiar voice sounded from behind Li Yiming, it was Li Tu from the Li Family.
Li Tu stepped forward from the crowd, his face somewhat strange. Finally, he sighed and said, "Brother Li, what Elder Xie has said is indeed true."
Li Yiming, who had been silent, first thought Xie Min's words ludicrous, but then, seeing Li Tu coming forward to testify, he found it unbelievable.
The son of the Li Family head?
When did the Family Head have an extra son?
A thought flashed through his mind, and Li Yiming's face slightly changed color. Could it be the son of the Family Head who went missing right after birth?
Li Yiming's gaze fixed intently on Li Xiaoyao, and he suddenly realized that Li Xiaoyao bore a resemblance to the Family Head.
Could it be that he really is a member of my Li Family?
"Hmph! I may not be one of the people from the Eight Great Sects of Xuan Country, even if I were, today I would still kill him." Li Xiaoyao withdrew his gaze, looking towards Xie Min, and said, "I just came out from the Teleportation Array and you and that old man teamed up to attack me. If it wasn't for my life-saving skills, I'm afraid I would have really lost my life here."
"If I were a scion of the Li Family, I would kill you for the crime of slaughtering your own kin!" Having said that, Li Xiaoyao's foot hesitated no longer and stomped down fiercely.
"No..."
Xie Min's plea for mercy was cut short, the rest of his words swallowed back.
Li Xiaoyao's foot crushed Xie Min's neck, separating his head from his body.
A fine head rolled several times on the ground; Xie Min's eyes, bloodshot with unwillingness and fear, were wide open.
If he had known this would be the outcome, he would probably regret making an enemy of Li Xiaoyao. Discover more stories at My Virtual Library Empire
After killing Xie Min, Li Xiaoyao took off the Storage Ring from his finger, pocketing it, then looked toward Li Yiming at the entrance.
Li Yiming glanced at the dead Xie Min, a surge of anger in his heart, but at this moment, he needed to confirm Li Xiaoyao's identity. If he truly was the son of the Li Family head, then today's affair was of little consequence.
As Li Xiaoyao said, Xie Min had dared to take action against him privately despite knowing Li Xiaoyao's identity, which was already a violation of the Li Family's clan rules.
Even if Li Xiaoyao had killed him on the spot, no one would dare to utter half a word in protest.
"What is your name?" asked Li Yiming.
Li Xiaoyao just looked at him indifferently and did not answer.
"Third Elder, his name is Li Xiaoyao," Li Tu said softly.
Li Xiaoyao's methods were shocking; he killed Xie Min, who was at the Golden Core Realm, as simply as if he were slaughtering a chicken, and at this moment, the atmosphere in the tomb chamber was indeed eerie, preventing people from speaking rashly.
"Li Xiaoyao," Li Yiming nodded slightly, "You are a Li, do you have any token on you? Something that can prove you are a member of our Li Family?"
"Prove that I am a member of the Li Family?" Li Xiaoyao sneered, "Why should I have to prove anything? Your Li Family is strong, what does it have to do with me? In my eyes, the Li Family of Xuan Country is not worth climbing up to!"
[Three o'clock, accompanied my wife for a four-dimensional ultrasound, which wasn't finished until six-thirty. After dinner and everything else, I didn't get home until eight-thirty. A four-dimensional ultrasound is not a B-ultrasound; if the baby's position is not correct, it can take a lot of time, even a day or two is normal. Our child was quite cooperative, and it took only a few hours to get it done. Lastly, I'll say it again, this book is currently updated with three chapters a day during its free period. Don't keep saying it's only updated once or twice a day, don't lie with your eyes open. As for a burst of updates, that will happen when the book starts charging. With over seven hundred thousand words still free, this is the only book on Chuangshi now, and I hope everyone can give more support, so my beauty can pull through.]
