Your Mom Calls You Home for Dinner
The Mo Mansion is located on the western side of Wanchao City, directly opposite the Li family estate. In contrast to the domineering position of the Li family, which occupies the back mountain of Wanchao City, the Mo Mansion in the west appears somewhat modest. Nevertheless, in the expensive Wanchao City, the Mo Mansion actually occupies a larger area than the Li family's. However, due to the Mo family's later rise, when they developed their estate, the Li and Long families had already taken the best locations in the city. Therefore, settling in the west was their only option. Despite this, several streets near the Mo Mansion are so feared that ordinary people dare not even step half a foot into them, an arrogance tacitly permitted in Wanchao City.
The main entrance of the Mo Mansion faces a huge square, where massive bonfires are lit, illuminating the area brightly. A team of Mo family guards is patrolling, their gaze occasionally drifting towards the mansion, where the faint sound of laughter suggests a grand banquet is being held. One envious guard sighs, lamenting their missed opportunity to witness such a rare feast attended by members of the Li and Long families. The captain, overhearing, scolds him, reminding him of their duty and promising a visit to Tianxiang Tower later, evoking laughter among the guards. Another guard jokes about the day's good fortune and their plans to enjoy their rewards that evening, causing the captain to shake his head in resignation.
At that moment, a cold laugh is heard, carried by the wind. A young man, about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in plain white clothes, strolls casually towards the Mo Mansion's main gate from one side of the square. The patrolling guards are startled, having never seen such a person approach the mansion before. The captain, recognizing the youth's extraordinary demeanor despite his young age, orders his guards to step aside and challenges the newcomer, warning him of the Mo family's territory and the ongoing banquet. The young man, Li Yi, dismissively shakes his head and suggests to his companion, Li Nana, to start their action there, anticipating a path marked by carnage. Li Nana, dressed in light blue, follows him, her delicate face and gentle smile enchanting. She is leading a bound man, Li Qiao, who has become a dog, his hands tied behind his back and draped with various weapons, his face covered with a black cloth.
Li Yi comments on their straightforward approach despite Li Nana's suggestion for stealth, especially now that he has advanced to the Fighter rank. Li Nana, sighing slightly, obediently hands Li Yi a long sword. Li Yi tests the sword, appreciating its quality, and invites the guards to test it with him. The guards, initially shocked, then mockingly suggest Li Yi is merely a Fighter and offer to entertain Li Nana instead. Li Yi, shaking his head, laments their ignorance of their impending doom and approaches them.
The captain, sensing danger from Li Yi, asks his identity but is answered with a swift sword strike that pierces his throat before he can scream. Li Yi, with a menacing smile, asks who will be next. The remaining guards, momentarily stunned, quickly draw their weapons and attack him.
Li Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, and a rich smile spread across his face. Facing this group of guards, he didn't even bother to use any fighting skills. Raising the long sword in his hand, he slashed diagonally at a guard who was about to use a fighting skill. The guard saw a flash of red before the sword split his forehead. At this moment, seven or eight swords swung towards Li Yi, their blades flashing with fighting energy. Clearly, these guards were using their fighting skills, but Li Yi simply shook his head, his figure not retreating but advancing, instantly darting into the midst of the sword and blade lights.
With a slight flick of his long sword, he struck a guard's face and then swung his sword backhand, instantly sending two heads flying into the air. The remaining three or four guards crowded together, and Li Yi, throwing his long sword with a rare use of fighting energy, pierced them like skewered candied haws. In an instant, about a dozen guards lay dead at Li Yi's hands, none of them able to withstand even a single move.
Li Yi pulled out a handkerchief and slowly wiped the blood from his hands. Turning to Li Nana with a smile, he said, "Why the daze? This is just the beginning. If you can't keep up now, I won't be able to protect you later." Li Nana gave a sweet smile, but her shock was beyond words. In the Martial Deity Continent, it was not unheard of to defeat an enemy with a single move, but usually, this involved using powerful fighting skills that left the opponent unable to defend. However, Li Yi, without using any fighting skills and moving like a ghost, instantly annihilated the opposition, an unprecedented feat. Although Li Nana knew that Li Yi had now advanced to the rank of Fighter, these guards were also Fighters. Even if their cultivation methods and fighting skills were crude, they should not be this weak, right? After all, they were the Mo family's personal guards!
But Li Yi did not give her time to continue her astonishment. He picked up a long spear from the ground and walked straight towards the Mo Mansion's main gate. The sudden deaths of the Mo family guards meant that no one had time to alert the mansion. Otherwise, it would not have been so easy for Li Yi to reach the mansion's entrance. The grand entrance of the Mo Mansion, with its tall steps and two majestic, unnamed demonic beast statues on either side, was imposing. Perhaps due to the grand banquet, the doors were slightly open, with two guards on each side, their attention focused inside.
Li Yi slowly approached the entrance, his long spear dangling to the ground. The four guards, who should have been vigilant, failed to notice him, prompting a slight cough from Li Yi to draw their attention. The guards turned around, clearly confused about how this person had suddenly appeared. Why hadn't the patrolling guards alerted them? Had they all died? Before they could fully process this, Li Yi coughed again and said lightly, "Gentlemen, your mothers are calling you home for dinner!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yi swept his long spear, striking the knee of the first guard on his right. The guard groaned and fell, but before he could scream, Li Yi kicked him in the chest, causing a gush of blood. The guard died before hitting the ground. The four guards at the entrance were evidently more formidable than the patrolling ones and reacted quickly to the sudden attack. One immediately ran towards the mansion's interior, while the other two drew their long swords and lunged at Li Yi.
Li Yi tilted his head slightly, seemingly puzzled, and remarked, "Really running home for dinner? Let me accompany you part of the way!" He threw his long spear, and with a swift turn, kicked the end of the spear. The spear, hovering in mid-air, shot out like an arrow from a bow, piercing through the chest of the fleeing guard and pinning him straight against a wall. Landing, Li Yi swiftly reached out with his right hand, striking the throat of the guard on his right. His shoulder collided with the guard's chest, a cracking sound indicating broken bones. Satisfied, Li Yi nodded, grabbed the sword from the guard's hand, and stabbed backward.
A muffled groan followed, and the sword in the last guard's hand fell as he tried tremblingly to cover his throat, where a long sword had mysteriously appeared, with thin streams of blood continuously flowing out. However, he couldn't even utter a scream. Li Yi shook his head slightly, feeling nothing special. From the moment he regained his full abilities from his previous life, he knew that these Fighters, unable to form a qi coat, were like ants in front of him, no match unless their cultivation methods and fighting skills surpassed those of the Vermilion Bird.
He clapped his hands slightly and pushed away the two corpses lying limply beside him. Li Yi sneered and said calmly: "Bring on the spears!"The two fights at the door were just an appetizer. If he wanted to rescue Li Han, it seemed that he had to There is still a long way to go.
