Chapter 47: Wishing for the Family's Safety, Si Mubai Severely Injured
Chapter 47: Wishing for the Family's Safety, Si Mubai Severely Injured
Inside the house, the lamps burned quietly, emitting faint crackling sounds from time to time.
Li Che held his wife, Zhang Ya, and listened to her determined words, momentarily stunned.
After a moment of contemplation, Li Che smiled gently and rubbed his wife's head.
"If you want to practice, then practice."
"I'll teach you."
Zhang Ya tilted her smooth chin, pursed her lips, and said softly, "Xixi and you both practice martial arts. I heard that martial artists have long-lasting life energy and live much longer than ordinary people..."
Li Che was taken aback, his gaze growing softer.
He understood his wife's concerns, and it was precisely because he cared that he had such worries.
Li Che was confident that he would reach great heights in the future, and Xixi's talent was extraordinary, her potential limitless...
It would be a bit difficult for his wife, Zhang Ya, to catch up with them.
"However, I now have a Dao Fruit... With time, I'll find a way."
Li Che smiled, gently caressing his wife's sleek black hair.
He looked down at his wife and said softly, "Xiao Ya, don't worry. Our family will be fine, safe and sound, for a long time."
A warm family was all he wished for in this life.
The night deepened.
After the commotion, only deathly silence remained.
Zhang Ya, who wanted to learn martial arts, was examined by Li Che through palm reading and, feeling tired, fell into a deep sleep.
Li Che, on the other hand, was full of energy, his vitality at its peak.
Even after the intense battle that night, he remained largely unaffected.
Taking out the thumb-sized "Three-Headed Six-Armed Wrathful Spirit Infant Statue," Li Che examined it under the oil lamp's glow, squinting for a moment.
The next instant, his palm instantly emitted a white jade-colored mist, transforming his entire hand into a translucent glass-like state.
The embryonic divine ability, Celestial Art · Thousand Analyzing Hands! In an instant, Li Che felt the raging wrathful divine nature within the spirit infant statue being frantically absorbed by his palm. After just a breath or two, the statue crumbled into ashes.
Red threads of energy coursed through his arm, and Li Che sensed the power of the divine nature, his expression turning slightly grave.
"I wonder what kind of divine nature this is under the wrathful divine nature... It should be left by the divinity cultivators of the Spirit Infancy Sect, a killing move for those blood exchange warriors. Unfortunately, it was never used and was shattered by me."
"This divine nature is a bargain for me."
Li Che's Thousand Analyzing Hands quickly dimmed, sealing the divine nature within.
"The divine technique I obtained is called Wrathful Crying to Repel Ghosts, and it should be a Si family divine technique. I wonder if I can use this divine nature to activate it?"
Most likely not, as the divine nature absorbed from the spirit infant wood carving was wrathful, completely unrelated to the sorrowful divine nature.
Frowning slightly, Li Che realized he knew too little about divine nature.
Since he lacked understanding, he decided not to waste time pondering it further.
He only planned to practice Wrathful Crying to Repel Ghosts when he had the time.
This was both an archery technique and a divine technique...
Guo Zhan clearly hadn't cultivated a divine nature and couldn't display it; otherwise, tonight's battle would have been even more challenging.
His mind stirred.
Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Vajra (lv2, 5%)
Dao Fruit: Pure Heart (lv1, 1%)
"After killing four Spirit Infancy Sect members, the Dragon Elephant Vajra only increased by 5% in maturity at lv2... That's indeed a bit little."
"Additionally, the divine nature accumulated in Pure Heart has also been consumed by 2%... Now, only 1% maturity remains, and it's back to the level before liberation. This is the drawback of not having a divine technique..."
"A divine technique..."
As the lamp flickered.
Li Che's desire for a divine technique grew more intense.
...
...
The next day, the heavy snowfall from the night before abruptly stopped.
After a quiet night, Xuji Woodcarving Shop became lively.
Many people gathered outside Li Che's courtyard, witnessing the unharmed family and the frozen body of Zhao Chuanxiong lying in the snow outside the courtyard. Their faces were filled with astonishment.
"The commotion last night... The surging life energy, like a blazing fire. Many blood exchange warriors fought, but Master Li's family... seems unharmed?"
"What's it to you if Master Li's family is in trouble?"
"This is what they call good fortune. The Spirit Infancy Sect is becoming more brazen, openly kidnapping children."
"Zhao Chuanxiong... Zhao Captian is actually a member of the Spirit Infants Sect?"
...
Numerous woodcarving masters emerged from the house, gathering in Li Che's courtyard, chattering incessantly.
Li Che's expression was gentle, and although these woodcarving masters hadn't taken action last night, it was understandable given the circumstances. After all, not everyone dares to be a hero.
Facing the Blood Exchange Warrior from the Spirit Infants Sect, these masters would only be asking for a beating if they intervened.
Their fear was understandable.
In the distance, a figure in white swiftly approached, their life energy intertwining with the wind, and in a moment, they swept up the snow on the ground, arriving at the courtyard.
It was Xu You, returning from the Inner City.
"Are you alright?"
Xu You approached Li Che and his family.
Li Che shook his head, "Last night, there was a blood exchange battle outside... I didn't dare to show myself, and my wife and daughter stayed indoors. When I came out this morning, I saw Zhao Chuanxiong's corpse."
Xu You saw Xixi in her jacket, and the sternness on her face instantly melted away. He hugged Xixi, "It's good that you're safe... Come here, Xixi, let Uncle Xu hold you."
"Last night's incident, your family was just a decoy, the real target... was to lure the ox, to draw out the Ox Demon that has been stirring up Thunderstrike City."
"Zhao Chuanxiong was the bait, and now it seems, the bait has been completely devoured..."
"In one corner of the courtyard, there's another corpse and scattered flesh. That Ox Demon... is truly formidable, defeating four opponents single-handedly and retreating unscathed. If we didn't know better, we'd think that Ox Demon had achieved Pulse Connection!"
"The blood exchange of the Spirit Infants Sect... was too tragic, leaving only scattered flesh behind."
"As for the remaining corpse, it belongs to one of Si Mu Bai's men."
"Regarding this matter, the Si family will surely provide us with an explanation."
"The idiom 'stealing a chicken and losing one's rice' seems to fit Si Mu Bai perfectly..."
Xu You let out a cold laugh, "Last night, Si Mu Bai went out, and it seems he encountered the mysterious strongman behind the Ox Demon. His divinity was almost shattered... He's now severely injured, and it'll probably take a year or two for him to recover his divinity."
"I've sent someone to take care of Old Chen's situation, and he should be released this afternoon..."
Xu You exchanged a few more words with Li Che and then took his leave, as he had many matters to attend to.
Last night's events had little impact on ordinary citizens, but for the aristocratic families of the Inner City, it was of great significance.
Whether it was the Ox Demon who could defeat blood exchange warriors or the Divinity Cultivator who had left Si Mu Bai half-crippled, the Prince of Furious Wrath...
Both had a profound impact on various powers.
Li Che held Xixi, watching Xu You disappear into the snowstorm, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
He gently caressed Xixi's back with his palm, making her squirm with tickles, her small body wriggling.
In reality, Li Che was using his Pure Mind divinity to care for Xixi, ensuring her well-being.
The Pure Mind divinity was pristine and flawless, free from the strong emotional influences of other Seven Emotions Divinities, making it ideal for nurturing.
Li Che also sensed from Xu You's words that last night's events were not simple.
"Did Si Mu Bai intend to take action himself last night?"
"But he was stopped by a Divinity Cultivator and was nearly beaten to death..."
"Did he mistakenly believe there was someone backing the Ox Demon?"
Li Che's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding...
If Si Mu Bai had taken action personally...
Li Che would have no confidence in facing a Divinity Cultivator.
Fortunately, someone had intervened, but... only the Ox Demon himself would know if there was someone backing him.
The Ox Demon was just a lone individual.
"Who's helping me?"
Li Che felt a little puzzled, but only slightly.
Because this wasn't his main concern.
The key was that he had obtained crucial information from Xu You.
Gazing at the snowflakes fluttering in the sky, Li Che's eyes gleamed.
"Si Mu Bai... is severely injured..."
