"Eight Urgent Fist?"
Upon seeing Li Changhao take action once again, Han Zhan instinctively called out.
Yi Fan on the battlefield only heard a "buzz" sound.
Something moved so fast that it explosively compressed the air.
Then he saw Li Changhao appear in front of him.
Itâs him!
Li Changhao had a slightly manic smile on his face; engaging in close combat was his favorite thing in a fight.
"Brute."
"Thank you, thatâs quite apt!"
Li Changhao laughed loudly, his fist already swinging again.
This time, his fist was wrapped in a layer of white aura. With one Urgent unlocked, if Li Changhaoâs previous punch was the equivalent of a speeding car, then now it was at least a speeding train!
Yi Fan, exerting his full strength, cloaked himself with the Immortal talent.
Li Changhaoâs fist smashed into his abdomen, once again producing a metallic clang.
"Hahaha, how exhilarating!"
Li Changhao punched faster and faster, and every punch on Yi Fanâs body made golden ripples spread at the impact point, growing denser than raindrops so that soon, gold "peeled" from Yi Fanâs body!
His speed and power increased more than tenfold.
What ability was this white aura, a talent?
While defending, Yi Fan occasionally countered with heavy punches, but hitting Li Changhao was like not hitting him at all.
He didnât even falter.
In the continuous torrent of attacks, Yi Fan quickly fell at a disadvantage.
"Li Changhao is the first of the Li familyâs younger generation to train the Eight Urgent Fist to unlock the second Urgency."
"Yi Fan is no match for him, you..."
As Li Lingzhen watched the battlefield, she suddenly realized that Han Zhan had disappeared.
...
Yi Fanâs abdomen was repeatedly struck, and even his Immortal talent was nearly broken by this terrifying melee fighter.
Is this the Li Family?
That was the only thought in Yi Fanâs mind.
Li Shutong as the Great Xia War God represented a Li Family with such strength!
Li Changhao grew more excited as he fought; the white aura emanating from his body intensified, never having fought someone who could endure so much before!
"Hahaha, the outside world is indeed interesting! Compared to the clanâs weaklings, youâre much stronger!"
"But, this is as far as you go!"
"With the next punch, Iâll send you flying!"
Li Changhao said, inhaling sharply, moving in close, and aimed an uppercut at Yi Fanâs chin.
But the next instant, his smile froze on his face.
The uppercut, seemingly inevitable, was blocked by another hand!
A young man of similar age had appeared beside Yi Fan.
When did he arrive?!
Li Changhao was shocked; he suddenly squinted and scrutinized the newcomer.
"I recognize you, youâre Han Zhan! The one our Li familyâs War God took as a disciple."
"No, youâre not worthy to be his disciple!"
As Li Changhao spoke, Han Zhan clearly detected a hint of jealousy in his tone.
"Your worthiness isnât for you to decide."
"If you have objections, tell your War God grandfather instead of wasting words with me."
Han Zhanâs words left Li Changhao seething with anger.
"Whatâs your relationship with Li Lingzhen?" asked Goomba No. 1 resentfully.
"What relationship?" Han Zhan slightly smiled as he heard the question, "We are as close as Guan Bao."
What does being as close as Guan Bao mean?
Goomba No. 1 and No. 2 exchanged confused glances, but the quick-witted Li Changhao suddenly realized and turned ashen.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! How can you?"
"Yes, just me."
Seeing the incredibly smug Han Zhan on the other side, Li Changhao decided to stop talking and directly unlocked the second Urgency, bursting forward.
The white aura behind him stretched out.
The air whined softly as Li Changhao aimed to settle the score with one punch, both for himself and for the other Li family peers!
"Iâve already unlocked the second Urgency; once my punch lands, how much of a chance do you have?"
"I think, ten out of ten."
On the other side, Han Zhan stood firm as white aura began pouring from his back as well.
But his white aura was more abundant and denser than Li Changhaoâs!
Li Changhaoâs white aura was thin in places, but Han Zhanâs could completely enshroud him, forming a delicate armor.
"What!"
Seeing this, Li Changhao was speechless with shock.
But his punch was already launched, too late to retract.
Still thinking about it, but faster than him, Han Zhan turned into a blur, first pressing down on Li Changhaoâs head and then smashing it into the ground.
Gripped by Han Zhan, only one thought occupied Li Changhaoâs mind.
That was: "How can he unlock the third Urgency? Heâs only been apprenticed for three months, or four at most? What qualifies him!"
The only answer was the cold ground at the back of his head and the endless devouring darkness.
Han Zhan stood like a War God, looking toward the other two still standing behind him.
"Speak up, you noble youths from the capital, why have you come to Deep Blue City, such a minor place? Surely not just for a nobody like me."
Seeing Li Changhao pinned to the ground in just one move,
Goomba No. 1 and Goomba No. 2 couldnât help but swallow hard.
"We...we came to find the War God and deliver a letter."
...
"Second Uncle, this letter is from the family elders for you."
Standing behind Li Shutong was a middle-aged man who resembled him by six or seven parts.
"Second Uncle, youâve been away from the Li Family for years; now with the ever-changing times, the family elders wish for you to return and lead the family through difficult times."
Li Shutong said nothing.
But his gaze unsettled the middle-aged man across from him.
"Fengchun, how many Urgencies of the Eight Urgent Fist have you mastered?"
"Three Urgencies," Li Fengchun answered honestly, sitting across.
"Have I not imparted the Eight Urgent Fist to the Li Family?" Li Shutong pressed.
"Yes, with very detailed training insights, all complete."
"For the past century, under my name, how has the Li Family fared in Jinghai?" Li Shutong asked for the third time.
"For a hundred years, the Li Family has thrived in Jinghai, the foremost family in Great Xia; no one dares offend the War God, all are eager to curry favor."
Having asked his three questions, Li Shutong raised his head and said to Li Fengchun,
"I owe the Li Family nothing more, so why do those old folks want me back to lead?"
"No family prospers forever, and descendants who rely on their ancestors canât rely forever."
"If the Li Family is to fall, then let it fall."
