Chapter 13 Damn it, damn it all!
Looking at Li Ming's head rolling at his feet, Li Xiuyuan didn't feel much satisfaction.
The words of Li Ming's frantic shouts echoed in my ears.
The father's body is still in the Li family's home.
Although he was a transmigrator, after merging with the original owner's memories, Li Xiuyuan had already empathized with all of the original owner's feelings.
He couldn't help but care. Even the thought of his father's body still being in the Li family's house brought back the image of that pitiful figure from a few days ago, desperately blocking everyone so he could escape.
If Li Xiuyuan cannot settle his original father properly, he will never be able to have a clear mind!
Even now, he felt extremely tightness in his chest and could hardly breathe. Li Xiuyuan knew that this was the lingering grief and hatred of the original owner.
"Don't worry, I will make sure he is properly buried, and none of the bad guys involved will escape!"
woohoo hoo...
Taking a deep breath made me feel a bit better.
With his mind racing, Li Xiuyuan knew that once the news got back, that hypocritical "uncle" would definitely use his father's corpse to blackmail him.
Therefore, Li Xiuyuan did not hesitate at all. He immediately stepped forward and used the Absorption Technique on the unconscious ninth-rank martial artists.
After one round, although he could only absorb about one-third of the internal energy, Li Xiuyuan was already very satisfied.
With careful perception, one can feel a significant improvement in one's power; after absorbing the power of a few more people, one might be able to reach the peak of the eighth rank.
This was only the beginner level of the Absorption Technique, yet it had already allowed him to advance to the mid-stage of the eighth rank in just a few hours.
Li Xiuyuan dared not even imagine how fast his power would increase and how quickly he would grow after reaching the maximum level!
Grabbing his longsword, with a flash of sword light, the ninth-rank martial artists of the Li family, whose power had been absorbed, were killed one by one while they were still in a daze.
After doing all this, Li Xiuyuan looked up and it was dawn.
He glanced at the two bloody heads not far away, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
After carefully packing the two heads, he grabbed a bundle from the side, took a step, and transformed into a streak of light, leaving the blood-soaked courtyard.
As for the corpse in the courtyard, Li Xiuyuan wouldn't bother with it; someone would naturally discover it after dawn.
Moreover, he believed that it wouldn't be long before news of his long journey of robbery and murder would spread.
But would Li Xiuyuan care about this?
Obviously not, since the max-level quest for the "Absorption Technique" includes a condition for gaining fame in a small area.
Right now, Li Xiuyuan doesn't want to develop in a low-key manner, but rather to settle scores and return to Yuanguang City!
Hopefully, the young master of the Lin family will still be around then...
Whoohoo!
When the panel popped up in front of him, Li Xiuyuan stopped running.
[The Golden Goose Skill has been successfully entered. Max level requirements:]
1. Using the Golden Goose Technique, one can travel a hundred miles at a rapid pace. (Incomplete)
2. Traveling over 300 li in a single day. (Incomplete)
As expected, the level requirement is similar to that of "Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada".
It's just that the previous method of catching cicadas in eight steps, which allowed them to travel three hundred miles a day, was interrupted halfway through.
Therefore, when Li Xiuyuan slid the panel and saw the conditions for reaching the maximum level of "Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada", he could see that the data of traveling 160 miles had been cleared.
With the inclusion of the "Golden Goose Skill," Li Xiuyuan was also able to perceive the advantages and disadvantages of the two major lightness skills, "Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada" and "Golden Goose Skill."
"Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada" is a short-range burst attack, capable of close-quarters combat at a straight distance, and is highly compatible with the three sword techniques currently being practiced.
The Golden Goose Skill is a balanced and unhurried, all-around lightness skill that cultivates strength steadily and provides long-lasting power.
After a moment's thought, Li Xiuyuan did not hesitate. It was about two hundred miles from here to Cangshan City, which was a hundred miles from Yuanguang City.
The total distance is about three hundred li.
Now that Li Xiuyuan is an eighth-rank martial artist, he can easily travel four or five hundred miles a day if he runs at full speed.
Looking up in the direction of Yuanguang City, Li Xiuyuan took a deep breath and felt the real mountain wind that suddenly blew up in the mountains.
He drew his longsword and channeled his inner energy into his limbs.
Step out.
With eight steps to catch the cicada, they had already reached several feet away.
His long sword flashed and slashed down rapidly in the mountain wind...
Yuanguang City.
Li family.
Li Cangshan, dressed in a gray-white robe, sat upright to one side of the council hall, looking at Lin Shuang, who was dressed in brocade and fine clothes, in the main seat, with a hint of apology in his eyes.
"Young Master Lin, don't worry, the people my Li family sent out have already found Li Xiuyuan's whereabouts, and they will definitely bring that little beast back by tomorrow at the latest."
Lin Shuang gave a cold laugh.
"Is that so? Then I'll wait another day. If Li Xiuyuan hasn't appeared at the Li family by this time tomorrow, I'll return to my family to report. If the elders get angry and take it out on me, that's none of my business!"
Upon hearing Lin Shuang's words, Li Cangshan's expression immediately changed, but he dared not show his dissatisfaction.
Instead, he nodded quickly.
"Lord Shen has already laid a trap in the city. As soon as Li Xiuyuan appears in Yuanguang City, he will be captured immediately."
But if that happens, then…”
"I know, Young Master Lin. Please rest well at my Li family home and wait for my good news."
"That beast Li Xiuyuan, I will personally capture him and deliver him to Young Master Lin."
Lin Shuang looked at Li Cangshan, whose face was extremely unpleasant, and felt nothing but disdain.
If it weren't for Li Xiuyuan's mysterious martial arts technique, he wouldn't have traveled all this way to this godforsaken little place.
However, to his surprise, what he thought was a simple task would turn into so many complications.
But this good-for-nothing who was engaged to the Lin family's pride and joy gave him quite a shock in just two or three days.
It was precisely because of this that Lin Shuang became even more certain that the mysterious technique that Shangguan Xiuhong had taken from the Shangguan family was definitely not simple.
I must get it!
I must take this Li Xiuyuan with me.
After spending three days in Yuanguang City, Lin Shuang had changed her mind about killing Li Xiuyuan directly and decided to take him with her.
This person is Shangguan Xiuhong's own son. If Li Xiuyuan refuses to reveal the secret of that mysterious technique, it can be used to negotiate with the Shangguan family.
After all, the Shangguan family would definitely be interested in this matter!
The more Lin Shuang thought about it, the more she felt that no matter what the outcome, she wouldn't have lost out on this trip.
"Alright, in that case, I'll wait for good news from Patriarch Li."
Oh, by the way... that woman who kept me company last night was quite nice, send her over to me later!
Hahaha……"
He then burst into laughter and strode out of the council hall.
"Bang!"
Long after Lin Shuang had left the council hall, Li Cangshan slammed his hand on the table in front of him.
Spiderweb-like cracks suddenly appeared on the table.
Faced with Lin Shuang's blatant threat, he was very unhappy, but he didn't dare to retaliate at all.
It's only been three days.
The Li family already has three or four women who have been taken advantage of, and the one Lin Shuang chose last night was Li Cangshan's youngest daughter, Li Ying, who just turned sixteen this year.
All of this is the fault of that damned little beast, Li Xiuyuan.
If it weren't for his resistance, none of this mess would have happened!
It's even possible that the Li family has already aligned themselves with the Lin family and gained countless benefits, so what does City Lord Shen Jiyue have to do with it now?
Damn it, I really deserve to die!
