Crack, crack
The cracking sound of the stone could be heard incessantly as if the whole wall was about to crash down.
It was just by using the force from his own body to push the wall. If it were Crow, he might be able to knock down the wall with one punch.
“Muyang, how are you, Muyang? Li Yan, are you a dead man? Get over here and see your son!”
“Brother, are you hurt? Li Muyang? Just say something!”
“Dad… ” A familiar voice came from behind him.
Li Muyang patted his father’s shoulder and said, “Please let me stand up.”
Li Yan’s face was full of surprise. He quickly turned around and looked at him, saying, “Muyang, are you all right?—Is there anything wrong?”
“I’m fine.” Li Muyang shook his head, rubbed his wounded shoulder and back. “I’ve just got some scratches,” he said.
“How could there only be some scratches?” Li Sinian blinked her eyes. Even though she had practiced the “Qi-breaking Technique” since she was a child, she would have broken bones if she had suffered such a blow.
However, Li Muyang’s body was so weak that he couldn’t move anything heavy. He caught his father by force and bore Crow’s push.
There was a dent in the stone wall, and cracks appeared on it as well. How could he be fine?
“Is his bone harder than stone?” Li Sinian thought.
Of course, she knew that it was impossible. Li Muyang had never strengthened his muscles or bones, so how could it be possible for him to have such an ability?
“Muyang, let me have a look.” Luo Qi quickly pulled Li Muyang over and examined him over and over again. She was worried about Li Muyang’s condition. She was afraid that he deliberately said that he was okay in order to pretend that he was not injured.
“Mom, I’m really fine,” Li Muyang said.
“Look.” Crow sneered and said, “Take a good look at him. What kind of monster is he? He’s fine even after the stonewall has cracked. Do you still think he’s just a weak, sick, and useless piece of trash?”
Li Yan silently picked up the long spear from the ground and rushed toward Crow again.
He didn’t care about what his son was. What he cared about was that someone wanted to hurt his son.
He ran as fast as the wind and the sound of the spear roared out.
There was a flash of silver lightning around the tip of the spear, but it instantly disappeared.
His True Qi couldn’t attract the wind and thunder.
“This is a tough shot,” Crow smiled and said. “Unfortunately, it’s not enough.”
As he spoke, his hand hidden in the black robe reached out again.
Just as before, the tip of the spear landed in his hand.
The sound of the spear stopped, and the force carried in the spear disappeared as if mud sank into the sea.
He reached his hand out to grab the spear and flung it into the distance.
Li Yan wanted to surrender, but he was too late.
The spear flew into his chest, and his body careening backward again.
Plop!
Li Yan fell onto a row of potted plants in the corner of the yard, crushing countless flowers and trees.
“Er…”
He only felt that his throat was sweet. Then he opened his mouth, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.
“Li Yan…” The hairpin on Luo Qi’s head fell off, and she rushed over to the place where her husband fell with her hair disheveled.
Li Muyang and Li Sinian were also very fearful as they both ran to Li Yan.
“I’m fine…” Li Yan was trying to get up. “I’ll block him again. You take the opportunity to escape—Sinian, go with your mother and brother.”
“Dad…” Li Sinian cried with tears streaming down her face. “I’m not leaving. I’ll stop him…” she said.
“Go!” Li Yan roared.
“Dad…”
“Want to leave?” Crow laughed and said, “Sorry. I’m afraid that none of you can escape today.”
The black robe on his body swelled without wind, and his body turned into a large mass of black smoke again. It quickly enveloped all of the small courtyard.
What was even stranger was that the black smoke condensed and didn’t disperse. It wrapped around the courtyard like a barrier. The wind couldn’t blow through and rain couldn’t pass. There wasn’t a single leak.
Not only that, but the sound of birds flapping their wings could be heard from within the black mist.
The cracking sounds were loud and deafening.
Although it was difficult to see with the naked eye, a flock of birds rushing toward Li Muyang’s family could be heard.
Li Sinian had never experienced such a scene, and she had no combat experience.
Just now, when Crow raced toward them, she knew she could attack him with a punch.
But now, besides the killer who was rushing toward her, there were groups of black birds that had come out of nowhere.
Her eyes were blocked by the mist. Nothing could be seen and she didn’t know how to deal with it.
“Bastard.”
Li Sinian shouted and punched again.
Bang!
A part of the black smoke was scattered. This time she hadn’t hit Crow, but the black birds that were rushing over.
Since Li Sinian was young, practicing the “Qi-breaking Technique” was for building up her body.
Although she tried her best in the cultivation, compared to the hard work and hardships of those who really practice martial arts, it wasn’t really worth much.
The first punch was full of strength, but the second one was a little weaker.
When she wanted to punch a third time, she found that her arms were soft. The first two punches had emptied her strength.
“Phew—” A black wind blew, and Li Sinian only felt that she was short of breath and dizzy. Then, her eyes went black and she fell to the ground.
“Sinian… Mother…” Li Muyang cried out miserably.
Li Muyang stood with his parents. In the darkness, he couldn’t see anything, but he could hear the sounds of bodies falling to the ground.
The first sound was from Li Sinian when she fell to the ground as it was from the place where Li Sinian had just stood. The second sound came from the place beside Li Muyang, where his mother Luo Qi had been.
“Dad!” Li Muyang shouted again.
“Muyang, the smoke is poison.” Before Li Yan finished his words, he too fell to the ground.
“Dad…” Li Muyang ran toward the place where Li Sinian fell. He was worried that the killer would hurt his sister in this darkness.
“Eh?” Crow cried out in surprise. He was surprised to find that there was someone who could stand in his “Dark Fog”. And just a supposed ordinary person—of course, he knew that he was not ordinary at all.
“You’re fine?” Crow said regretfully. “It seems that I have to spend a little more time.”
His sister collapsed and fell to the ground and he didn’t know if his parents were alive or not.
They were Li Muyang’s closest relatives. It was his life and all he had.
Without them, he wouldn’t have survived until now.
He should have long been dead or been thrown into the rubbish as waste, becoming a beggar or a vagrant.
However, now there was someone who wanted to take away their lives.
Although the killer said that his target was only Li Muyang, who knew what would happen now? Who knew if he would accidentally kill someone?
If a killer’s moral quality could also be trusted, why would the empire set up a hanging sentence?
“You are asking for death.” Li Muyang stared at the position where Crow was, completely infuriated. “You deserve to die.”
Swoosh!
The black shadow rushed toward Li Muyang. He only felt a strong force racing toward him. As soon as he tasted the sweetness in his chest, he was sent flying.
Bang!
His body fell on the steps in front of the door. With a cracking sound, he felt as if his spine had been broken.
Li Muyang gritted his teeth, climbed up from the ground with both hands, and rushed toward the black mist again.
He couldn’t see where the killer Crow was, but he could feel where he was.
He wished with all his strength that he could have the kind of power again to send him flying with a single punch.
Bang!
This time, Li Muyang’s body flew backward again and smashed directly into the dining room.
“If you still want to hide your strength, then I can help you.” Crow’s voice came from the black fog.
His heart was also full of doubts. Li Muyang looked like an ordinary teenager. Even if he had deliberately probed him with his Qi, he had no Qi reaction or attempt to fight back.
He was just like what they had said—an ordinary young man who was weak and sick.
However, what was it when they were in the Beast-faced Pavilion that day?
What happened when he was sent flying by that bastard’s punch?
If not for the fact that he was hurt falling to the ground, how could he have encountered the master of the Cui family, who was called the “Buddha in Thousand Families”.
Crow stretched out his right hand. In it was a short sword with a snake’s tongue carved in the center, which looked simple and antique.
The dagger shone brightly as if the snake was endlessly stretched.
Crow’s body disappeared on the spot, and then a cloud of black smoke exploded in front of Li Muyang as the light sword swung toward Li Muyang’s neck.
The Sakura Cut!
His head would be cut off if he were hit by the dagger.
Li Muyang’s mouth was dripping with blood, and even his nose was bleeding.
His eyes were full of red light, and the scales on the back of his hand were sparkling. They stood out as if they were real.
At the edge of life and death, he did not feel any fear.
There was only anger in his eyes, as well as a killing rage impossible to vent.
His scaly palm was clenched into a fist. The bronze fist swelled up and glistened brightly.
Boom!
Li Muyang gave out a punch.
He struck against the long cyan snake, the sharp sword, as well as the invincible Sakura Cut.
Crack…
The cyan light sword hit Li Muyang’s fist, but it didn’t cut the fist off of his arm. Instead, the light of the cyan light sword instantly exploded and then snapped from the snake’s head.
The sword couldn’t bear the enormous force and instantly turned into countless cyan pieces.
Every piece of the fragment was a bright mirror, reflecting Crow’s horrified and surprised expression.
The mirrors scattered in all directions, along with the fears of Crow.
