“Lin Wujing!”
A roar of fury rose, followed by Li Qingzheng arriving in a flash in his snow-white robe, positioning himself in front of Li Hao.
His commonly gentle eyes now shot out a cold light, causing the temperature of the entire courtyard to seem to plummet suddenly.
He did not address Lin Wujing with the honorific “Great Phonos Saint” but instead called him by his actual name, which was extremely discourteous!
Lin Wujing, however, turned his head and looked at him indifferently:
“The struggle for the true dragon of the Li Family has actually become lethal. Had I not acted in time, Qiankun Vajra would likely be dead by now. Are you implying that you want to blame me?”
These words made Li Qingzheng pause slightly, his anger stemmed from the other party’s unauthorized intervention in the Li Family’s true dragon’s selection, but if he blamed Lin Wujing now, wouldn’t that imply he tacitly agreed to let Li Hao kill Li Qianfeng?
Naturally, that was unacceptable.
If Lin Wujing had not acted just now, he would have intervened himself.
With his cultivation level at the Four Stands Realm, he could have easily intervened in time, even with only one eye open.
“This is the Li Family’s true dragon contest. Hao Er knows his own limits. Bodhisattva, please show some respect!”
In the end, Li Qingzheng still found a way to regain some face with his words. At the same time, his statement was also meant for others to hear, as he was making excuses for Li Hao.
During that instant before, how could he not have seen that Li Hao had murderous intent?
Having killed countless demons on the borders, his perception of killing intent was extremely sharp.
However, aside from Li Hao, he also perceived that Li Qianfeng harbored murderous intent!
The relationship between these two juniors was not as peaceful as that of other cousins, not to mention compared to their fathers—the joyful times of the nine sons of the Li Family.
Although they were all blood and clan, the relationship was still separated by a generation.
Li Qingzheng couldn’t help but inwardly sigh; such incidents were not the first to occur. With a history of a thousand years, such disputes were unavoidable in the Li Family, even in the lineage of the imperial family, but all were concealed and suppressed.
That’s why the Li Family had tests of character; impartial love was an ancestral teaching.
“Hmph!”
Lin Wujing knew Li Qingzheng was being stubborn but coldly snorted and said:
“Qianfeng’s eyeball needs prompt medical treatment; otherwise, if it affects the brain, he could end up an idiot. Does your Li Family care or not?!”
“Qianfeng!”
Liu Yue Rong, upon hearing this, turned pale with fright. The once stunningly beautiful mistress of the Liu Family forgot all semblance of a forced smile and rushed over, demonstrating her cultivation level of the Fifteen Li Realm.
The daughters-in-law of the Li Family usually come from martial backgrounds, with very few frail individuals. Furthermore, with countless precious medicines and secret techniques available to the Li Family, even those of ordinary talent can be elevated to the Fifteen Li Realm.
Because below the Celestial Master Realm, one can achieve ascension through resources and natural endowments!
That is the early boost effect provided by the heritage of a great power.
Rushing to Lin Wujing’s side, Liu Yue Rong saw her son with chopsticks embedded in his eye socket, blood gushing out continuously, and immediately teared up from heartache.
Her body trembling, she wanted to touch him but dared not. As if she thought of something startling, she suddenly turned around and glared furiously at Li Hao:
“You bastard, he’s your cousin, and you attacked him with such deadly force!”
Li Hao’s eyes showed only regret that he hadn’t managed to kill his opponent outright.
Upon hearing her accusation, the corner of his mouth involuntarily curled into a sneer. Cousin? And you are supposed to be my dear second mother, yet what have you ever done?
Up front, Chen Hefang, witnessing the sudden turn of events, went pale. Her Buddha Beads, worn from years of fasting and chanting, almost snapped in her grip.
The trauma of losing a son made the sight of her descendants’ blood make her feel faint. Nevertheless, having managed the Li Family for many years, she quickly regained her composure and spoke:
“The hour grows late today. Now that the true dragon of my Li Family has been determined, it’s best for everyone to return home.”
Her words were polite, but everyone knew that the old lady did not wish others to stay and gossip.
This left many feeling regretful, as the grudge hidden behind the ferocity of the two juniors must be quite interesting.
He Jianlan quickly stood up, coordinating the departure of the guests from the banquet.
Li Tian Gang’s face was unsightly, but this was not the time for him to reprimand Li Hao. Holding back his anger and temper, he personally escorted Jian Wudao and Chu Jiuyue out of the courtyard.
Both were aware of the awkwardness the Li Family faced and did not linger.
They were surprised by Li Hao’s ruthless actions but not overly shocked.
Children of noble families often harbored grudges unknown to outsiders.
Moreover, considering it involved the competition for the title of true dragon, tension was inevitable. The previous generation had nine sons who did not end up fighting bloody battles, mainly because Li was so outstanding and they were born of the same mother, making their relationship close.
Compared to Li Hao’s ferocity, they were more surprised by the formidable strength he showcased in that brief moment.
It exceeded by far what they had seen of the Fifteen Li Realm.
The overwhelming power that Li Qianfeng unleashed at the critical moment could only be due to some secret technique or some external force.
Given that his master is a Bodhisattva, having such a trump card is not unexpected, but they did not anticipate that before it could be truly displayed, it would be crushed by Li Hao’s fierce attack, almost leading to Li Qianfeng’s death.
The true dragon of this generation of the Li Family should not be underestimated!
“How could that kid’s swordsmanship reach such a level, how is that possible…”
Jian Wudao still glanced back at the young man standing in the center of the court before leaving, his shock settled, but confusion lingered in his eyes.
Years ago, that child had no fascination for the sword, appearing to see it as no different from a mere twig.
With such an attitude, how could he have developed such an overbearing and fierce Sword Intent?!
“Quick, save my son!”
As the courtyard was clearing, Liu Yue Rong urgently spoke to Lin Wujing and the old lady.
Chen Hefang also knew that there was no time to waste. She quickly led the way, having Lin Wujing take Li Qianfeng to the Qinglian Backyard, while ordering people to summon the family’s divine healer.
