Chapter 153 Spare the Liu Family Ancestor's Life
Just as the folding fan was about to pierce the throat of the Liu family patriarch, Han Yi suddenly withdrew his hand, gently twisted his wrist, and put the folding fan away. He then patted the Liu family patriarch's shoulder lightly, a smile on his face, and teased, "I'm giving you a lesson today. Go back and discipline your juniors properly. Don't meddle in the affairs of the City Lord's Mansion again, or you won't be so lucky next time."
The Liu family patriarch slowly opened his eyes, gazing at Han Yi with a mixture of relief and awe at having survived a calamity. He knew perfectly well that he had met his match today; if Han Yi truly wanted to take his life, it would be as easy as turning his hand, crushing an ant. Without daring to say anything more, he bowed deeply to Han Yi, then transformed into a streak of light and flew away in a flash towards his cave south of Qingmu City.
After the Liu family patriarch left, Han Yi calmly put away the Earth-Shaking Stone, sat back in his recliner, picked up his teacup, and took a small sip. His face remained completely calm, as if the thrilling and terrifying battle had never happened.
Su Yao moved gracefully to Han Yi's side, her beautiful eyes fixed on him, and asked softly, "Why didn't you kill him?"
Han Yi smiled slightly, looked into the distance, and said leisurely, "Killing him will only plunge Qingmu City into greater chaos. Spare his life, which can both deter all parties and maintain the balance in the city. Why not do it?"
Su Yao nodded slightly, her admiration for Han Yi's strategy growing stronger. At this moment, the shouts of battle outside the city had gradually subsided. Presumably, with the departure of the Liu family patriarch, all the various forces had to reassess the situation and were hesitant to act rashly, thus temporarily halting their operations.
The onlookers were speechless with astonishment. Some stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with shock, as if they had seen a ghost, as if they had witnessed something unbelievable; others huddled together, whispering amongst themselves, speculating about Han Yi's identity and what secrets lay behind this great battle.
As Han Yi listened to these discussions, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he thought to himself: This Green Wood City, I'm afraid there will be more good shows to watch in the future.
This Bai Ling is extraordinary; it's a mutated spirit beast, completely different from ordinary ones. It successfully transformed into human form as soon as it reached the Nascent Soul stage. Now, it's about 80% human-like, except its hands still resemble claws, and it has a tail trailing behind it.
As soon as Bai Ling appeared, a layer of dreamlike silver-white light instantly emanated from her body. As the light flowed, she transformed into a stream of light and attacked the Liu family patriarch, displaying agility and grace in her movements.
In a single exchange, it left several bloody marks on the back of the already seriously injured Liu family patriarch.
The Liu family patriarch's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly lamented, "How come another even more troublesome and formidable character has appeared!"
The Liu family patriarch inwardly groaned, but knew he couldn't afford to back down now. Suppressing his panic, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes. He swiftly twisted his body, attempting to escape Bai Ling's ghostly attacks. His hands moved rapidly through the air, spiritual energy gathering in his palms like a surging tide. In the blink of an eye, a black light screen suddenly rose behind him, like an unbreakable shield, resisting Bai Ling's subsequent attacks.
Seeing that its attack had not yet succeeded, Bai Ling was unwilling to give up. With agile movements, it drew a silver arc in the air and pounced on the Liu family patriarch once more. Its speed was like a shooting star chasing the moon, too fast for anyone to see. It opened its sharp, blade-like claws, the tips gleaming coldly, tearing through the air with a hissing sound, aiming straight for the Liu family patriarch's vital throat.
The Liu family patriarch dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow, but Bai Ling's attacks were like a whirlwind, relentless and unstoppable. Taking advantage of the patriarch's unsteady stance, it leaped high into the air with a powerful kick aimed at his abdomen. This kick was incredibly forceful, carrying immense power. The Liu family patriarch couldn't dodge in time and could only hastily raise his hand to block. With a muffled thud, he flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground and raising a cloud of dust.
With a "poof," the Liu family patriarch could no longer suppress the surging blood and qi within his body, spitting out a mouthful of blood that stained the ground in front of him. He struggled to get up, but his legs felt as heavy as lead. He braced himself with his hands on the ground, panting heavily, his eyes filled with anger and resentment.
"You...you've gone too far!" the Liu family patriarch roared, his voice hoarse and distorted with anger and pain.
Han Yi sat on a recliner not far away, witnessing all of this, and said calmly, "I don't want your life. You jumped out and asked for it, so don't blame me!"
Having said that, he slowly stood up, gently closing his folding fan. In an instant, an aura as if from the deepest abyss emanated from his body. As soon as this aura appeared, the once clear sky instantly became overcast with dark clouds, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a howling wind arose, as if the end of the world had arrived.
The Liu family patriarch was shocked by this aura. He stared at Han Yi as if he were seeing a demon god awakened from ancient times. The aura penetrated his very soul, making it tremble. "You...who exactly are you?" he asked, his voice trembling, his legs feeling weak.
Han Yi didn't answer. He flashed and disappeared from his spot in an instant. The next moment, he appeared in front of the Liu family patriarch. The folding fan in his hand was now like a sharp sword, stabbing towards his throat. The speed was so fast that it seemed to transcend the boundaries of time and space. The Liu family patriarch didn't even see how he got there.
The Liu family patriarch was terrified and tried to escape, but to his horror, he found that his body was as if bound by an invisible force, unable to move. On the verge of death, he closed his eyes in despair, thinking it was all over.
Just as the folding fan was about to pierce the throat of the Liu family patriarch, Han Yi suddenly stopped, gently patted his shoulder, and laughed, "I'm giving you a lesson today. Go back and discipline your juniors properly. Don't interfere in the affairs of the City Lord's Mansion again, or you won't be so lucky next time."
The Liu family patriarch slowly opened his eyes, gazing at Han Yi with a mixture of relief and awe at having survived a calamity. He knew that he had encountered a true powerhouse today, and that taking his life would be as easy as turning his hand. He bowed deeply to Han Yi, said nothing, and transformed into a streak of light, flying towards his cave south of Qingmu City.
After the Liu family patriarch left, Han Yi put away the Earth-Shattering Staff, sat back in his recliner, picked up his teacup, and took a small sip. His expression remained unchanged, as if the breathtaking battle he had just witnessed was merely a dream. Su Yao stepped forward, her beautiful eyes fixed on Han Yi, and softly asked, "Why didn't you kill him?"
Han Yi smiled slightly, looked into the distance, and said leisurely, "He's just a small fish. Killing him will only plunge Qingmu City into greater chaos. Spare his life, and we can both deter all sides and maintain the balance in the city. Why not do it?"
Su Yao nodded slightly, her admiration for Han Yi's strategy growing stronger. Meanwhile, the battle outside the city had gradually subsided; presumably, the departure of the Liu family patriarch had prompted all factions to reassess the situation and temporarily cease their attacks.
The onlookers around were speechless with astonishment. Some stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with shock, as if they had witnessed something unbelievable. Others whispered among themselves, speculating about Han Yi's identity and the secrets behind this great battle.
As Han Yi listened to these discussions, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he thought to himself: There are probably more good shows to watch in Qingmu City in the future.
