Being obedient like a dog

Li Qiao's face changed several times, and finally, he let out a bitter laugh and said in a deep voice, "Li Yi, what do you want for you to let me go?" "Let you go? Cousin, you are joking again," Li Yi replied, seemingly shocked and sincere, "Cousin Li Qiao, you are known as the top expert among the younger generation of the Li family, a rare genius, and also some young master. How could I, who is obviously a waste, be your opponent? I think, Cousin, you are really sick, it seems I really must help you with your illness."

Li Qiao hesitated for a moment, then finally knelt down slowly, in a pool of blood, with a voice as gloomy as it could get, he hoarsely said, "Cousin Li Yi... no no no... Master Li Yi, Master Li Yi, I beg you, please let me go... I know in your eyes, I am just a dog, you are generous and noble, would you bother with a dog? Please, spare my dog's life!"

"Cousin is actually a dog?" Li Yi looked shocked, he sized up Li Qiao a few times, then continued, "Cousin, you are joking again, this dog does not look like you. The dogs we have at home all crawl on all fours, Cousin, you..."

Before Li Yi could finish, Li Qiao had already prostrated on the ground, crawling around for a while, then said with a fawning face, "Master Li Yi... look, look, I am a dog, just a dog raised by the Li family."

Li Yi, with an innocent face, showed a hint of doubt and frowned, "Not like it, dogs bark and stick out their tongues..."

"Woof — Woof —" Li Qiao started barking loudly, sticking out his tongue, looking pleasingly at Li Yi.

Finally, Li Yi nodded, smiled faintly, and said, "This is indeed a dog, come, try this... raise your hand, lift your leg, stick out your tongue... go, fetch it, and remember to use your mouth..." Saying this, Li Yi casually broke off a piece of wood and threw it towards the corner of the room. Li Qiao's figure quickly pounced towards it, reaching out for the piece of wood.

"Cousin, dogs don't use their hands to grab things," Li Yi's faint voice rang out.

Li Qiao's face changed several times, finally gritting his teeth, he stuffed the wood into his mouth, and when he turned back, his face was full of flattery.

"Ha ha ha..." Li Yi laughed lightly, then burst into loud laughter, uncontrollable laughter... After who knows how long, Li Yi clapped his hands and said, "Wonderful, really wonderful... Cousin, you really are the number one in the Li family, whatever you pretend to be, you really look like a dog. If it weren't for the clothes on your body, I would have thought you were really a dog from the Li family... How about this, Cousin, from now on, you can be a dog in front of me, as for your dog's life, naturally, I will keep it, how about that?"

Li Qiao, with a fawning smile, said, "Thank you, Master Li Yi, for sparing this little dog's life, thank you, Master Li Yi, for sparing this little dog's life..."

Li Yi nodded and said, "In that case, you can roll away!" Seeing Li Yi's arrogant face, Li Qiao sneered in his heart. "Li Yi! Li Yi! You are just so!" But of course, he did not show any of it on his face but continued to crawl on the ground, crawling past Li Yi, sticking out his tongue pleasingly, and then slowly crawled behind him.

After crawling a few steps, his figure suddenly burst forward, pouncing towards Li Yi, with Yuanqi that had been gathered in his palm for who knows how long, bursting out. "Suzaku Low Rank, Toothless Break!!!" Toothless Break, a secret technique of the Li family, Suzaku low-rank martial skill, concentrates the whole body's fighting spirit into one strike, the Qi is tricky, like the fang of a venomous snake. This martial skill is generally only practiced by those in the Li family with the status of elder or higher, and the fact that Li Qiao knew this move was obviously against the rules.

The air around Li Qiao burst into a series of explosions due to this strike, as his fist wind passed, small whirlwinds burst out in the air, his sleeves were already blasted into powder by his own move, this seemingly low-key punch carried an astonishing momentum.

"You can actually use this move!" Li Yi, who had been relaxed, changed his expression, he had already advanced to Fighter, more keenly aware of the flow of Yuanqi around him, so although he knew Li Qiao had prepared a move against him, he did not expect this move to have the power to break through the Yuanqi level. It seems that high-level martial skills indeed have their own characteristics, no wonder everyone covets high-level martial skills! But...

"Don't think you are the only one who knows martial skills!" Li Yi suddenly turned around, his palm grabbed towards Li Qiao's punch, fighting spirit flickering between his fingers, forming small whirlwinds.

"Boom—" At the moment of the fist and palm meeting, black fighting spirit flashed over Li Yi's right hand, a surge of fighting spirit rose, Li Qiao's body-breaking Yuanqi was dissipated into nothingness, followed by a cracking sound, and then a series of "crack crack" sounds, Li Qiao's right hand twisted violently in one direction, finally, the bones shattered, his hand twisted like a twist.

"Ah—" A earth-shattering scream came out, Li Yi's figure flew backward, hitting the wall before stopping, a few strands of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Li Qiao's left hand was on his right shoulder, his face twisted in extreme pain, he could clearly feel that in this crazy twist, the bones and meridians of his right hand were completely broken, his right hand was ruined. He looked at Li Yi in disbelief, his own trump card move, which he considered invincible under the level of Fighter, and Li Yi's performance just now was...

He gritted his teeth and glared at Li Yi, pausing between each word, "Bastard... Bastard... Bastard... How is it possible, how is it possible, just three months, three months... and you've already become a Fighter! How is it possible! How is it possible!!!"

Li Yi let out a slight breath, feeling somewhat fortunate in his heart. This was the first time he had used the second layer of the Wind Palm's twisting force, and fortunately, the effect was extremely evident. However, compared to the first layer's dissolving force, this twisting force, though powerful, required taking the opponent's Qi into one's body, which seemed somewhat improper. If he encountered an opponent stronger than himself and couldn't dissolve the opponent's Qi the instant it entered his body, he might suffer a loss under one move. It seemed that he would need to be cautious using this twisting force in the future.

"Fighter?" Looking at the surprised Li Qiao, Li Yi shook his head slightly, "Fighter, is just a beginning... The path of the strong is long, where do you understand this point?" Feeling like he had said something redundant, Li Yi turned his head to look at Li Qiao, who was leaning against the wall, and sighed, "Cousin, originally if you had been content being a dog, I really was prepared to spare your dog's life... But you just had to be disobedient, wanting to bite your master while playing a dog. It seems I have no choice but to kill you... So, I'm sorry, Cousin..."

After speaking, Li Yi slightly raised his right hand, and a surge of black Qi emerged from his fingertips, emitting an astonishing killing intent. Perhaps realizing that Li Yi would definitely not spare his life, Li Qiao calmed down, stared at Li Yi for a moment, then coldly laughed, "Just kill me if you want, anyway Li Han is also about to die... After Li Han's death, grandfather will definitely not let you go! Li Yi! Li Yi! I, Li Qiao, will wait for you in the netherworld! I'm just going a step ahead of you!"

"Threatening me?" Li Yi smiled faintly, "But don't worry, Cousin, although I know you are a tough guy and not afraid of death... how could I kill you so easily? You know, you're not like Li Lin or Li Xing, those wastes, you are the grandson of the Great Elder! You're not only useful but surely know a lot, right? With so many things I haven't asked you, how could I let you die?"

Li Qiao's face changed, as if remembering something, his left hand surged with Yuanqi, aiming at his own chest to strike! "Snap—" In an instant, Li Yi's figure flashed beside Li Qiao like a ghost, his hand slapped on Li Qiao's left shoulder, and the hand he had raised limply fell.

Li Yi slowly extended his hand to Li Qiao's neck, revealing an extremely pleasing smile, "Cousin... death, such an easy thing, right? Close your eyes and it's over. But while dying is easy, living is much harder... Do you want to try?"

Li Qiao coldly laughed repeatedly, knowing he was no match for Li Yi, he simply closed his eyes. Li Yi took his drooping hand, gently rubbing it while faintly saying, "Cousin, let's play an interesting game now, shall we? From now on, I will ask you questions, and if I'm not satisfied with your answers, I will crush one of your bones... Don't doubt my strength, because trying it, is not a fun thing."

Li Qiao opened his eyes, glanced at Li Yi, and coldly said, "Pah!" Li Yi, expressionless, just shook his head and sighed, "What a pity, I don't like this answer, Cousin, sorry!"

After a moment, a scalp-numbing sound slowly echoed in the room. Li Yi seemed to enjoy this, slowly crushing one of Li Qiao's fingers to powder, watching his cold sweat and pale lips, then continued, "Now, the question and answer game continues... Cousin, you should understand, although I like playing with you, I won't keep playing, so please don't test my patience..."

"The first question, where did you learn that Toothless Break move?" Li Yi asked faintly.

"Wuyu Pavilion..." After hesitating for a moment, Li Qiao said in a low voice, "Last year at the clan's grand meeting, although I didn't participate, grandfather, using his authority, let me go inside and find the scroll of Toothless Break martial skill. But he told me never to use it at any time."

Li Yi smiled, "Then aren't you unfilial, the Great Elder's painstaking efforts, presumably he wanted you to become the next family head, then rightfully learn a martial skill scroll, and then create a family myth, right? It's a pity you didn't achieve it... Alright, the second question, those two people, what's going on?" Li Yi pointed to the two men in black on the ground.

"Those... those two..." Li Qiao swallowed, speaking in a low voice, "They were sent by grandfather to deal with you, once you die, naturally no one will compete with me for the position of the next family head."

"Our family's people?" Li Yi asked indifferently, "But if I remember correctly, our family doesn't seem to have anyone who can use invisibility martial skills. Those two seem quite talented, having figured out a set of martial skills on their own..."

Seeing Li Yi's indifferent expression, Li Qiao felt a chill in his heart, he took a deep breath and quickly said, "A few years ago, the grandson of the Third Elder gained a scroll of invisibility martial skills in an ancient ruin during his travels. Later, he gave it to the Third Elder, who used that invisibility martial skill to train a part of the clan members..."

"Ancient ruins? Li Chen?" Li Yi frowned, that seemingly useless third cousin actually had such an opportunity? "Alright, then that set of invisibility martial skills..."

Seeing Li Yi's gaze, Li Qiao's head shook like a rattle-drum, just saying, "I don't know, I don't know, grandfather said that the cultivation of that martial skill costs too much, so only a few direct descendants of the Third Elder secretly practiced it, to be used as a trump card at critical moments!"
