"Oh, I wonder what exactly caught Young Master Han Zhu's eye, but feel free to speak..." Li Yi said lightly. "In fact, what I fancy isn't something, but someone... Miss Du Xue..." Han Zhu's smile remained gentle, and after a light laugh, he looked eagerly at Gong Wu Shuang, saying, "Miss Du Xue, ever since that day we met, I've been enchanted... thinking of you day and night, unable to forget, which is why I've brazenly stopped you here, hoping Miss Du Xue would marry me. Although there's already a wife in my family, I can assure you that your status will be no different from the main wife... As for little brother Du Fei, I definitely won't treat him unfairly. As long as he works for our Han merchant group, I believe it won't take many years for him to amass a good fortune..." Li Yi's mouth twitched, not knowing whether to cry or laugh... This guy, actually wanting an Emperor-level powerhouse to marry him, and to be a concubine at that... Li Yi glanced at Gong Wu Shuang, only to see a flash of cold light in her eyes, clearly angered. Li Yi sighed, slowly shook his head, and with a slight wave of his hand, stopped Gong Wu Shuang's actions, after all, they had become indebted to someone this time and definitely couldn't just start a fight. Then, Li Yi shook his head and said, "Young Master Han Zhu is joking. My sister, though somewhat beautiful, how could she be worthy of Young Master Han Zhu? Moreover, my sister has already been promised to someone else, so... we can only appreciate Young Master Han Zhu's kindness in our hearts." Han Zhu laughed, saying, "It's just a promise to someone else. Little brother Du Fei, rest assured, as long as you tell me who it is, I can have someone call off the engagement, how about that?" Li Yi's gaze flickered slightly, and after a moment couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity inside, whispering, "That's not possible. My sister and that person are deeply in love, so we can only appreciate Young Master Han Zhu's kindness in our hearts. The kindness of accompanying us all this way, my sister and I will certainly not forget. As for today, we should take our leave..." After saying this, Li Yi pulled Gong Wu Shuang through between two guards, both of whom looked at Han Zhu, unsure whether to stop them or not. Han Zhu's expression changed slightly, and after a moment, his light laughter turned cold: "Very well! Very well! You ungrateful thing, I wanted to marry you, which was giving you face! How dare you refuse? If you don't accept the toast, don't blame me for being impolite if you have to drink a forfeit! Move!!!" As soon as his words fell, the dozen or so guards, having received the order, all had their long swords shining, and their fighting spirit boiling, clearly ready to take action. Li Yi gave them a brief glance, sighing to himself, Han Zhu really held him in high regard, these dozen guards, each one a Fighter-level, almost certain to be a death sentence compared to his apparent strength... Poor guy. Li Yi's gaze briefly swept to Han Zhu's cold face, then said lightly, "It seems I have no choice but to take action today, or Young Master Han Zhu won't let us leave?" "You can leave! But leave that woman behind! The women I fancy, none have managed to escape!" Han Zhu said coldly. Li Yi shook his head slightly, glanced at Gong Wu Shuang, whose anger seemed to have reached its limit, and whispered, "Eh, let's negotiate... Leave these trash to me, if you take action now and the Nalan family senses something, it won't be good... Don't worry, none of the people here will be able to leave intact." Hearing this, Gong Wu Shuang nodded slightly, then lightly smiled. This smile, seen by Han Zhu, was even more enchanting, and he bellowed, "Move! Kill the men! Capture the woman alive for me! After I've had my fun, you all can have her!" Watching the dozen or so guards approach, and their boiling yet thin fighting spirit, Li Yi suddenly sighed, glanced in Han Zhu's direction, and said lightly, "Young Master Han Zhu, consider today a lesson, there are many people in this world you can't afford to provoke or offend." "But that doesn't include you!" Han Zhu said coldly. "Move!!!" With a fierce shout, Han Zhu's command obviously motivated the guards greatly, each of them fiercely lunging forward with their long swords, while Han Zhu stepped back, just watching coldly from behind. Swords from all directions seemed to strike face-on, but Li Yi didn't retreat but advanced instead, his right hand lightly lifting, a faint purple fighting spirit veil fiercely shot forward. "Hiss—" On the fighting spirit veil, electricity twined, continuously flashing before people's eyes. It's known that lightning attribute fighting spirit is the most troublesome, not to mention its paralyzing effect, which makes many people dread. Sure enough, seeing this lightning attribute fighting spirit veil, the guards' movements slowed down a bit, but in that instant, Li Yi had already stepped forward again, his fighting spirit veil furiously lashing out, fiercely striking the leading guards. These guards all groaned, then spurted blood from their mouths towards the ground, their bodies still trembling continuously, clearly, this was the aftermath of the lightning attribute fighting spirit. This scene made the approaching guards hesitate even more, understanding the troublesome nature of the lightning attribute; they absolutely couldn't imagine that this seemingly ordinary youth practiced lightning attribute techniques!? "Dammit! A bunch of trash! It's just lightning attribute fighting spirit, can't you use fighting spirit? Are you so stupid to directly confront it? All of you together, his saliva would drown him!" Behind, Han Zhu coldly shouted.
The guards, hesitating upon hearing this, gritted their teeth and then charged together. "Don't think I can only bully people with my fighting spirit... In a moment, you'll find that without using my fighting spirit, I'm even more terrifying!" With a light laugh, Li Yi's figure suddenly flashed like a ghost among the guards. With a flick of his right index finger, "ding ding," the long sword of the leading guard was snapped by his flick. His right hand then lightly patted, already hitting the guard's chest, and with a shoulder bump, the guard's chest emitted the sound of breaking bones, and the whole person was violently thrown backward, hitting the wall, dead or alive unknown.
Li Yi chuckled lightly, not even glancing at the surprised expressions of the mercenaries, but swiftly turning his body, his right leg whipping out like an electric whip. "Xuanwu intermediate level, Electric Whip Leg—" "Boom—Boom—Boom—" Li Yi's leg gloriously struck each person by his side, the last one even more so kicked in the groin, the sound of their screams and the blood almost spraying out simultaneously. A breeze swept through the alley, and in almost the blink of an eye, the previously menacing guards were all lying on the ground. If not for Li Yi holding back, they would probably all be dead by now. At this moment, screams from their mouths made the previously one-sided situation quite interesting.
Han Zhu's expression changed slightly, and upon seeing that the guards were not in mortal danger, he let out a sigh of relief, but his gaze towards Li Yi became even colder: "Very good! No wonder you dared to refuse my request! Little brother Du Fei, your lightning attribute fighting spirit is impressive, and so are your skills... It's just too bad to kill you like this! If you leave your sister and the technique scrolls, I'll let you go, how about that?"
Li Yi shrugged slightly, couldn't help but say, "Young Master Han Zhu, I think you still haven't figured out the situation? Your men are all lying down... You're still thinking of threatening me, are you a bit brainless?"
Han Zhu sneered, "Indeed, you've dealt with a dozen trash, which shows you're extremely powerful among Fighters, but after all, you're just a Fighter. If you were a Warrior, I would have let you go today! But since you're only a Fighter, it might not be so easy for you to leave!"
Li Yi smiled mockingly, "In that case, you consider yourself a Warrior, Young Master Han Zhu? Seems quite impressive..."
"Whether it's impressive or not, you'll know after you try it!" With a cold laugh, Han Zhu's icy gaze fell on Li Yi, his hand lightly drawing a long sword from the ground to his hand. As the fighting spirit within him was stimulated, the fighting spirit on the surface of his body began to boil slowly, eventually forming a faint blue fighting spirit veil around him. Looking at the fighting spirit veil, Han Zhu is mostly at the level of a first or second crystal Warrior. Considering his age, being at this cultivation level could barely be considered a talent.
A fighting spirit veil, for a Warrior, is greatly beneficial, not only providing protection but also enhancing the master's attack, speed, etc... and reducing fighting spirit consumption in battle, making it useful both for offense and defense. Generally, unless it's an opponent of the same level, it's not easy to break through another's fighting spirit veil unless possessing high-level techniques or skills.
Upon seeing Han Zhu's fighting spirit veil, Li Yi smiled knowingly. He sized up Han Zhu for a moment, then lightly smiled, "Since Young Master Han Zhu has used his fighting spirit veil, it seems I can't be polite either... Today, I'll use Young Master Han Zhu for some practice!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yi stomped his foot, and a purple lightning fighting spirit burst out from within him, wrapping around his body in an instant, forming a fighting spirit veil around him. However, this fighting spirit veil was not orthodox, and compared to Han Zhu's, it was naturally a bit crude.
"To think you're also a Warrior..." Han Zhu's eyes flashed slightly, but after a moment, he sneered, "Even if you are a Warrior, do you think I haven't killed one before!?"
"Shh—" On Han Zhu's long sword, the fighting spirit boiled fiercely, waving like a surge under his control. At one moment, he stomped his foot and charged towards Li Yi like lightning, his sword trembling slightly, and several sword flowers were whipped up on the tip... Clearly, this Young Master Han Zhu was very proficient in sword techniques.
The sword transformed into several streaks of blue lightning, slashing fiercely at Li Yi from all directions, as if over a dozen sword lights flashed simultaneously, aiming for lethal points, clearly, Han Zhu was intent on killing.
Facing this fierce attack, Li Yi just showed a smile, while sensing the feeling of being a Warrior, his fighting spirit veil shaped and blocked all of Han Zhu's attacks.
"Ding ding ding—" As the two moved swiftly, the blue sword light and the purple fighting spirit veil clashed, sparking in mid-air. However, this situation lasted only for a moment, as if neither could overcome the other. Nonetheless, Li Yi seemed to be on the defensive, while Han Zhu was on the aggressive attack, from this perspective, Li Yi appeared to be at a disadvantage...
