Chapter 113: No Longer Surnamed Li
Chapter 113: No Longer Surnamed Li
The Seal failed to strike Li Hao, and Li Tiangang's face, which had been filled with anger, suddenly froze.
That sword strike seemed to bring a flurry of petals before his eyes, momentarily confusing him.
Beyond the Shore, Flowers Bloom.
The sword intent actually affected him!
Shock flashed in Li Tiangang's eyes, but as a Divine Soul at the peak of the Three Immortalities Realm, his mindset was incredibly strong. Despite his realm's decline, he quickly regained his composure.
With a swift movement, a cold gleam suddenly shot towards him.
His shock instantly turned into overwhelming fury.
"Beast!!"
Roaring, Li Tiangang's Divine Soul wielded a blade and swiftly swooped down to slash.
But Li Hao was closer, and his sword was faster!
Li Tiangang only managed to slightly dodge, the sword's edge grazing his shoulder and producing a metallic ring as it cut through his flesh, leaving a bloody gash!
The Three Immortalities Realm consists of Indestructible, Unbreakable, and Unfading!
Once one reaches the "Unbreakable" stage, a mere thought can make their body Indestructible, impervious to blades and swords!
It was only because Li Hao wielded a Divine Weapon that he could pierce Li Tiangang's body. A lower-grade weapon would have been unable to harm him.
With this level of power, a Three Immortalities Realm powerhouse could cut through ten thousand soldiers on the border, slaying the enemy's leader alone in the midst of the battlefield!
If it were a Grandmaster Realm, while individually formidable, they would be quickly turned into sieves or minced meat once surrounded by the army!
Especially the army trained by the Divine General Manor, which Grandmasters could not withstand!
Blood seeping from his shoulder, Li Tiangang's eyes widened in shock and rage as he stared at Li Hao. But in an instant, he raised his hand, seizing Li Hao's sword blade just as Li Hao was about to withdraw it.
In terms of combat experience, Li Tiangang had been tempered in countless battles, his body almost instinctual.
Despite the risk of his palm being cut, he fiercely punched towards Li Hao's chest.
Li Hao quickly let go of the sword, but instead of retreating, he clenched his sword-wielding hand into a fist and roared, unleashing the Half-Step Invincible Fist!
This punch broke the rules of the Half-Step Invincible Fist. He instantly fused a wave of sword intent, using his arm as a sword to deliver a combined punch and sword strike!
The overwhelming fist intent and the sharp sword intent collided fiercely with Li Tiangang's rough, palm-like hand. The sword intent within the punch penetrated deep into his bone, causing a cracking sound in his arm and forcing him to stumble back.
The blow sent both of them reeling.
"Grandmaster Realm!"
Li Tiangang stared at Li Hao in shock, finally realizing that Li Hao had, in that instant, kicked open the Heavenly Gate and reached the Grandmaster level!
His techniques were no longer bound by rules, unpredictable and hard to grasp.
Li Hao's eyes were cold as he glanced at the sword in his hand. As a Swordsman, losing one's sword was a disgrace. If it were another Swordsman, they would have likely chosen to endure Li Tiangang's blow rather than let go of the sword, even if it meant severe injury.
But he had never had the mindset of a true Swordsman.
Whether it was a blade or a fist, he used whatever could attack.
Weapons were external, but the core was himself.
With these thoughts, Li Hao's consciousness became increasingly clear and calm. He had just entered the Grandmaster Realm, and while his mindset had broken, he had yet to establish his own Grandmaster path.
But at this moment, he had already touched upon it.
There were no rules or boundaries in the world; they existed only because of people.
But what about this universe?
The sun, moon, stars, rivers, and mountains, flowers, and trees.
They were all different, yet they coexisted harmoniously, complementing each other.
True integration did not come from rigid rules but from a perfect balance where each complements the other.
Not from one-sided desire!
Second Uncle's mention of "half a step" might be exactly what it means.
Achieving one's own half step is enough!!
Li Hao's eyes suddenly burst with intense light, and countless Martial Arts Cultivation Techniques converged in his mind.
"The myriad things in heaven and earth, the countless phenomena, why should I be confined by them!"
"There are countless rivers in the world, but ultimately... all streams converge into one!"
Li Hao found his own path, even if he only saw the first step.
But at this moment, he already knew in which direction he should step!
A mighty and overwhelming aura condensed within him. Although he had no sword in hand, he could still release sword qi, but without the enhancement of a Divine Weapon, it was difficult to unleash his strongest killing move.
Therefore, Li Hao chose his fists.
His fists were also at the Sixth Rank and were no less formidable than his sword!
Looking at the shocked and angry eyes, Li Hao felt an impulse to shatter them with his fists. He roared in anger, and the ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch. The terrifying aura caused the surrounding ground to sink, and many Martial Arts techniques merged into his fists.
His body charged forward with a fierce momentum, his fists like mountains and rivers!
The embryonic form of this punch was still the Half-Step Invincible Fist, but it only bore a slight resemblance.
" audacity beyond limits!!"
Li Tiangang also regained his composure, his eyebrows seemingly burning with divine flames: "I have shown you mercy time and time again, yet you dare to be so obstinate!!"
His body radiated a terrifying aura, the power of the Three Immortalities burst forth, and he suppressed his severe injuries, temporarily unleashing the strength of the Unfading Realm.
His previously severely injured body showed signs of a brief recovery, as if his Realm were about to ascend!
This action would leave even greater damage afterward, but the aura Li Hao was releasing left him no choice.
He intended to crush Li Hao's stubborn bones to dust, even if he were a Grandmaster!
"Tian Gang!!"
Li Qingzheng and others arrived, and upon seeing the scene, they couldn't help but roar in grief and anger.
Li Tiangang fused numerous secret techniques, comprehending their principles, and unleashed his self-created top-tier palm technique, which released like a blazing sun.
The endless golden light illuminated the nearby streets, making them seem to fade into darkness.
Li Hao's eyes were bloodshot, and his Cultivation Technique rapidly circulated, activating the Seven Stars Lighting the Lamp characteristic, which doubled his power in its secondary operation!
Despite the aftereffects and the subsequent exhaustion, he couldn't afford to care at this moment.
"Aaaaaahhh!!!"
Li Hao, enraged like a madman, burst with radiant True Energy. The fusion of the Dharma Image and the Object Control Divine Power, along with everything else, converged in this one punch!
He charged toward the golden palm, which carried a killing aura, like a moth flying into the fire without a second thought.
Then, he was engulfed by the divine light.
With a thunderous boom, the heavens seemed to tremble.
Cracks appeared on the streets, and the violent force tore apart the surrounding houses.
Li Qingzheng hurriedly intervened, moving the people in the houses to safety to prevent them from getting hurt.
The golden Divine Palm suddenly dispersed and exploded.
Everyone gazed into the distance; such a spectacle was beyond the reach of anyone except Li Qingzheng, Li Xuanli, and Li Fenghua. Only Lin Wujing could intervene, but he merely watched like a spectator, his eyes filled with shock and deep contemplation.
The golden light of the Divine Palm shattered, and Li Tiangang couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. The violent punch's force tore his clothes to shreds, leaving his upper body exposed. His body was covered in countless scars, like writhing worms, each one a testament to his battles on the border.
Even at the Three Immortalities Realm, with an Unbreakable physical body, he still bore so many scars, showing just how brutal the fourteen years of warfare had been, and how many battles he had fought!
In contrast to his torn clothes, Li Hao's figure was launched backward like a cannonball.
The punch, which gathered all his strength, failed to reach Li Tiangang before it was dispersed.
After crashing several hundred meters, Li Hao finally stopped, his eyes wide with shock. Although he had just entered the Grandmaster Realm, he hadn't had enough time to settle in. He had hastily condensed all his Cultivation Techniques, failing to reach their true peak.
But this punch was already the strongest he could muster at this moment!
Yet, he still lost!
The gap between realms, combined with Li Tiangang's status as a being beyond that of a Top Genius, was simply too great!
Li Hao turned to see the terrifying figure, enveloped in a burning Killing Aura, approaching step by step, as if emerging from a blazing inferno!
The shadow of death loomed over him. Li Hao gritted his teeth, turned, and began to crawl away. He then summoned a surge of Object Control Power and fled into the distance.
"Get down!!"
Li Tiangang roared in anger.
His aura surged, barely reaching the mid-stage of the Three Immortalities realm.
A thunderous force descended from above, striking Li Hao and sending him plummeting from the sky. His spine seemed to shatter upon impact.
Li Hao crashed to the ground but didn't give up. He crawled out of the deep crater and charged away once more.
However, Li Tiangang's figure appeared as if by teleportation, closing the distance in an instant. He struck with a palm, sending Li Hao flying.
Li Hao's ribs shattered, his internal organs suffered severe damage, and blood spurted from his mouth and every orifice, a ghastly and terrifying sight.
"Killing your brother and father, do you really wish to descend into madness?!"
Li Tiangang's gaze was icy cold.
Li Hao struggled to support himself, a resolve telling him that he absolutely must not fall, not in front of this man!!
Seeing those defiant eyes, Li Tiangang's fury exploded: "No matter how high your talent, do not forget your surname. You are a Li!"
"You are a member of the Li Family!"
"Every Li Family member has dedicated their entire lives to the family. What have you contributed?"
"Every meal you eat, every grain of rice, every servant at your command, all belong to the Li Family, all are the fruits of everyone's hard work!"
"The blood of the warriors on the frontier, your uncles, your Third Uncle, and others, have all been shed to secure this prosperity and glory!"
Li Tiangang stepped closer to Li Hao, his eyes flashing with a menacing light: "You feel wronged, and indeed, I have neglected you. But have you ever lacked for anything in terms of food and clothing?"
"Do you know how many young men have lost their parents in battle? Should they feel wronged too?!"
"You say you took a Toxic Pill. Even if it's true, so what?!"
"You didn't die. You are still alive. With your talent, do you need that Divine Blood?"
"You could have come to me, and I would have avenged you. But you want to kill their widows and orphans? Have you thought about your deceased Second Uncle, whose Heroic Souls have already vanished? Can he rest in peace?!"
Finally, Li Tiangang stood before Li Hao, looking down at the grievously injured youth.
"Tell me, what gives you the right to act so recklessly?!"
"Is it the power you have cultivated using the Li Family's resources?!"
Li Hao listened to the furious tirade, trying to hold back the blood gushing from his mouth and the damaged organs crushed by the previous blow.
But the more he tried to hold it back, the more it seemed to flow.
He spat out the shattered internal organs and looked up at the other man, a twisted smile on his face.
"Why say so much? If you want, just beat me to death. From now on, I won't bear the Li name anymore!"
When he heard the other man say, "Even if it's true, so what?!" Li Hao no longer wanted to waste another word on him!
He didn't even bother to mention that he had never enjoyed any cultivation resources beyond food and clothing.
But what was the point of explaining? It would be useless to this man!
At this moment, he felt a strange sense of relief, even gratitude toward the Second Lady, whom he had resented for over a decade!
He was grateful that she had nullified the Divine Blood within him!
He deeply hated and loathed the blood of the man standing before him, which flowed through his veins!
