Chapter 651: Chapter 650 Expansion
"Hmph, Lin Hao, you are far too arrogant. In the face of our Li Family’s martial techniques, you stand no chance of fighting back."
Li Qingshan sneered.
"Is that so? Let’s give it a try!"
Lin Hao said indifferently, showing no fear whatsoever.
"You little beast, don’t you want revenge? Well then, go to your death!"
Li Qingshan roared, his eyes flashing with a cold glint.
Lin Hao chuckled coldly.
These martial artists from the Li Family are simply not a threat!
"Boom!"
Stepping with the Seven-Star Steps, Lin Hao executed the Wind-Thunder Nine Transformations Technique. In a blur of motion, he became dozens of afterimages.
"Bang bang bang!"
A series of muffled sounds rang out, and all of Li Qingshan’s men were knocked down by Lin Hao’s punches. In an instant, they were all sent flying.
Not one of these martial artists could withstand even a single move from Lin Hao; every single one of them spat blood and fell to the ground.
"What’s going on?"
"How is this possible?"
"This... how can this be possible?"
Witnessing the scene before him, Li Qingshan’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Just a moment ago, he clearly saw Lin Hao standing still, not moving an inch. How could it be that in the blink of an eye, all his men were knocked down by Lin Hao?
"This... how can this be possible..."
Li Qingshan murmured to himself, unable to believe what had just happened.
"Do you have any last words?"
Lin Hao approached Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan’s face turned ashen, and he kept retreating, panic spreading across his features as he said, "You... who exactly are you? Why do you possess such terrifying speed, and how can you dodge so many attacks?"
"Li Qingshan, it’s time for you to die!"
Lin Hao stated dispassionately.
"Wait... wait a moment!"
Li Qingshan cried out hastily.
"Hmm? You have some last words?"
Lin Hao paused, sneering.
"No... no... I have no last words, but, I beg you to spare my life!"
"I am Li Qingshan, after all, my father is the Family Head of one of Huaxia’s four major families. Even if you want to kill me, you should consider the consequences, right?"
Li Qingshan pleaded desperately, fearing that Lin Hao might indeed take his life.
"The four major families, so what?"
"The four major families can only bully the weak and the sick. Do you think they would spare you in the face of higher-ranking martial artists?"
Lin Hao said disdainfully.
Lin Hao was telling the truth.
If he had been an ordinary person, he might have feared the Li Family, but now, with a powerful body and formidable combat experience, he could fight even higher-ranking martial artists.
Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan collapsed weakly to the ground.
"This is the Li Family’s martial technique, Li Qingshan, why are you using them?"
Li Qian asked puzzledly.
Li Qian knew that the Li Family’s martial techniques were extremely powerful; not only that, the essence of these techniques was in the hands of Li Qingshan, yet now he was using them against Lin Hao.
Li Qian found this truly incomprehensible.
"Hahahaha... You still don’t understand."
"You will never guess why the Li Family has such powerful martial techniques!"
"Do you know what cultivation technique the third generation of disciples from the Li Family have cultivated? The second-generation disciples of the Li Family also mastered this martial technique. After they succeeded in their cultivation, they became even stronger than me, and some even surpassed me!"
Li Qingshan laughed maniacally.
His heart was filled with excitement and pleasure.
Originally, he was just a bottom-feeder in the family with nothing special about him. His progress in cultivation was slow, and he was even considered a waste.
But he never got discouraged, instead he worked even harder.
He wanted to prove to everyone that he wasn’t useless, that he was stronger than anyone else.
He longed to surpass the first generation disciples of the Li Family, to surpass that high and mighty guy, he wanted to prove himself through his actions.
So, he practiced cultivation as if his life depended on it, hoping that one day he could surpass the first generation disciples, become a core disciple of the Li Family, and only then would he be able to enjoy more glory, more resources.
Over the years, he had been striving continuously, he was making constant progress, getting stronger, and finally, he did it.
He finally ranked among the top within the clan, becoming one of the third generation disciples of the Li Family, one of the few outstanding among them, his talent also considered one of the best among the young generation of the Li Family.
And he finally, got access to more resources, even more tremendous power!
Therefore, his nature began to change gradually, he liked to show off, to flaunt, to act cool.
But within the family, he also knew that acting cool was just a cover, his strength wasn’t invincible.
His strength was only considered mid-level, and he was among the best of his peers.
Within the family, there were even more terrifying beings, those more powerful than him.
So, he must practice cultivation even harder, only by getting stronger could he protect himself, make the family value him more.
And for this reason, he obtained some fortuitous encounters that brought about a huge change in his status within the family, becoming one of the disciples with the greatest talent among the young generation, becoming a focus of attention for the elders.
"My body flows with a mysterious power, given the opportunity, I can become an unparalleled master."
"But it takes opportunity, all these years, the Li Family has given me many chances, many encounters, but they haven’t enabled me to truly break through, just a bit more and I could reach the peak of Martial Venerate Realm, I’m not satisfied!"
"So, I want to break through, to become an unparalleled master!"
Li Qingshan said each word powerfully, resonating with determination.
After listening, Lin Hao fell silent for a moment.
He hadn’t anticipated that Li Qingshan would have such a story.
Such a person was indeed worth befriending.
"Brother Lin, I beg you, please spare me! As long as you don’t kill me, I’ll do anything!"
Li Qingshan pleaded.
Lin Hao sighed and said, "I don’t have time to waste words with you, hand over the martial arts techniques, and I won’t take your life!"
Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan vacillated.
Although he hated Lin Hao, he knew full well that Lin Hao was not to be trifled with.
Li Qingshan’s strength fell far short of Lin Hao’s, but given Li Qingshan’s nature, he would never submit to Lin Hao.
"Brother Lin, killing me would be making an example out of a chicken to warn the monkeys!"
Li Qingshan said.
No sooner had his words fallen than a gust of wind blew by, and he vanished without a trace.
"Hm? He ran away?"
Lin Hao was astonished.
His Spiritual Sense had just detected that Li Qingshan transferred the martial arts techniques to his storage ring and left behind a Jade Talisman for him to find the Jade Pendant.
Lin Hao took out the Jade Talisman, and upon opening it, a dazzling light burst forth, enveloping everything around him.
Outside this light barrier, Lin Hao could clearly see that Li Qingshan was hiding within a towering ancient tree, his gaze flickering uncertainly.
He knew Lin Hao must have pursued him nearby.
Li Qingshan took a deep breath, knowing he had no choice left.
"Brother Lin, there is a martial arts technique in my Jade Talisman that only the two of us can cultivate, please spare my life, and I’m willing to exchange it for my own survival!"
Li Qingshan transmitted his voice.
"Oh?"
Lin Hao frowned slightly, puzzled.
Li Qingshan’s words took him by surprise and piqued Lin Hao’s interest greatly.
Li Qingshan was willing to trade a martial arts technique for his life, something that didn’t seem in character for him.
"Li Qingshan, are you truly willing to trade a martial arts technique for your life?"
Lin Hao asked.
"Brother Lin, please don’t doubt my sincerity, this is a martial arts technique passed down by the ancestors of the Li Family!"
Li Qingshan said anxiously, he dared not deceive Lin Hao, it was in his nature, as soon as he faced suspicion, he would become flustered.
Li Qingshan seldom lied; every word he spoke was heartfelt.
Lin Hao stared at the light barrier, his eyes burning with golden flames.
