Chapter 8: Old Li's Flying Dagger
The surface of the flying knife's blade seemed to be enveloped in a layer of faint, smoke-like aura, which did not fall short in comparison to the spiritual light emitted by the flying sword.
What about the defensive spells in front of oneself
It is actually a remnant of martial arts
One can clearly feel that one's vitality is rapidly fading away; had it not been for the scant remaining magical power to support him, he would have likely collapsed by now
Without magical power, without magical tools, and even without spells, a mortal remains a mortal, even if they possess a few strange flying daggers. If the opponent still holds that previous lightning spell talisman, they might still harbor some caution.
Forcibly casting spells with a mortal body requires a tremendous price, and that price is precisely Li Mo's vitality
The sorcerer's entire body rapidly concentrated magical power, and the spiritual energy surged violently in an instant. With a fierce shout, a powerful wave of energy erupted explosively in the air
The sorcerer of the Star Picking Pavilion suddenly widened his eyes, as the magnificent sword light, comparable to the sun and moon, not only devoured his flying sword but also shot towards him. However, he had no time to think or act... he only felt the entire world suddenly become blindingly bright, and everything lost its color
The momentary brilliance earned through vitality represents the shout of mortals saying no to immortals
Li Mo cried out in pain once again. If it had not been for his wandering in search of immortals, he would not have encountered the illegitimate daughter of the Taoist temple master, nor would he have been driven by anger to scheme the deaths of those from the Daoist sect, and he certainly would not have brought disaster back upon himself, leading to the deaths of his father and brothers
What is the basis for resistance
A sharp pain simultaneously surged through the back of his hand and palm, causing him to cry out in agony. Upon closer inspection, he saw a slender flying dagger embedded in the back of his hand, piercing through his entire palm. Had it not been for his instinctive raising of his hand just moments ago, this dagger might have been driven into his forehead.
Young man!
Do not be afraid
What the heck! Old Li's flying knife!
To put it nicely, he has a bit of a macho attitude; to put it bluntly, Comrade Xiaobai is somewhat foolish. He would rather be pierced by a flying sword than allow a woman to act as a shield for him.
The sword light narrowly grazed Li Dahu's cheek, leaving a thin blood mark two inches long, and with its momentum unabated, it surged forward nearly a hundred steps before turning back again
However, given the age of this portly middle-aged man, Xiao Li Fei Dao naturally transforms into Lao Li Fei Dao, who still appears to be as sharp as ever
With the last ounce of strength exhausted, Li Mo barely swallowed several black pills. After completing these actions, he was so weak that he could not even lift a single finger.
She can truly feel that sentiment, which is a man's promise and responsibility towards a woman
Give me back!
Had it not been for the sudden appearance of those two sorcerers, it is likely that today they would have had to sacrifice the lives of two to three hundred brothers in order to capture the members of the Li family
Using vitality as the price to forcibly activate a talisman that is beyond the reach of mortals, the reason he did not perish on the spot and is able to stand here is largely due to over a decade of various cultivation attempts and the search for rare materials that can enhance or alter one's innate qualities
Upon hearing Li Jia Xiao Lang say "Do not be afraid" for the second time, tears suddenly welled up in Wu Xiang Jun's eyes
Old Li's right hand, which hung down, held a seven-inch-long flying knife; he was no longer empty-handed
Li Mo, who had been in despair, looked incredulously at his father. How could a mere soldier possibly injure a sorcerer? He had never even known that his father possessed martial skills, let alone the ability to wield throwing knives
Upon hearing the sorcerer's words, Wu Xiangjun gasped in shock, intending to rely on the protective jade Pixiu on her person to shield Li Xiaobai from the flying sword. Just as she was about to move, her fragrant shoulder was forcibly held down by two strong arms and pushed heavily to the side, as a figure that was not particularly tall or robust stood in front of her.
Young man!
The local tyrants and evil gentry, who thrived by oppressing the poor peasants, have transformed into martial arts masters, which would be acceptable enough, but they even know how to wield flying daggers. Coincidentally, they happen to share the surname Li, inevitably evoking associations with the trope of "Little Li Flying Dagger".
You
The flying sword reversed direction and shot towards Li Dahu with a speed faster than a flash, catching him off guard
It has been many years since such weapons were last used, yet there is not the slightest hint of unfamiliarity.
However, a serious sorcerer is certainly not someone an ordinary person can withstand
Hmph! I also share the surname Li. If you want to kill my child, have you consulted me first?
Being thrown so far and falling so hard, it is not just ordinary people who would struggle to survive; even a sorcerer would likely not make it out alive
Do not be deceived by the surface appearance of merely being a bookworm, for one cannot underestimate the depth of their hidden capabilities
The senior brother of the Star Picking Pavilion glared at Li Dahu, filled with intense hatred for the mortals in this small town. Shouldn't they obediently submit to their fate and be slaughtered?
The senior brother of the Star Picking Pavilion resembled a proud rooster, emitting an unrestrained laugh. However, after just a couple of laughs, it abruptly ceased. He lowered his head and saw a flying dagger embedded in his chest, penetrating a full four to five inches, with only a small portion of the tail still visible outside.
The sense of superiority of the sorcerer, the sorcerer from the Star Picking Pavilion let out a triumphant sneer
He could hardly believe that a mere mortal could actually kill a righteous sorcerer. This was nothing short of a provocation to the entire sect of sorcery. It would not be enough to eliminate his resentment unless Li Mo was torn to pieces.
Li Mo's cold smile was like a needle piercing the heart, and the senior brothers of the Star Picking Pavilion were all in disarray, their eyes filled with rage. Not only had their junior brother died on the spot without even having the chance to scream in agony.
Although the so-called heavenly materials and earthly treasures are mostly ordinary items with limited benefits, constrained by innate talents and qualifications, the methods of cultivation have always eluded him. All his efforts have not yielded corresponding rewards, and nine out of ten have gone to waste, yet they still laid a certain foundation for him
However, Li Mo still smiled happily, as he had provided himself with a cushion; being able to personally kill a sorcerer was already worth it in this lifetime
Mortal, go die! Ha ha!
Is it also a case of playing the pig to eat the tiger
This flying knife is peculiar
Caught off guard, Li Mo let out a muffled groan, unable to hold on any longer. His face turned pale as he staggered back a few steps and fell to the ground, leaving a blood hole the size of a copper coin on each shoulder.
However, at this moment, he was still sneering
Facing the sorcerer's flying sword, Li Dahu showed no fear. With a loud shout, he charged straight forward, skillfully using both hands to throw two flying daggers in quick succession, striking the flying sword with precision and force, thereby altering its trajectory by a fraction.
The flying knife possesses the ability to penetrate the spiritual energy shield, granting both parties the capability to kill each other
Compared to ordinary people, one can indeed ensure a full vitality, free from all ailments
Grandfather
If he could possess martial skills like his elder brother and father, he would be able to protect young Lang and Miss Xiangjun now
The sword light pierced through the fabric of the clothing, and at the critical moment when the sword's edge was about to touch Li Xiaobai's bare skin on his back
Without any warning, the heavens and the earth, the flying birds and falling leaves, the floating dust and flowing water, even the sword light that was about to pierce through a young body inexplicably froze for a moment. Immediately after, a sword light, seemingly pure and pristine since the dawn of creation, erupted from within Li Xiaobai.
Grandfather
Giggling!
I want to kill you
The old knife-wielders and the bandits were already dumbfounded; they actually overlooked the hidden talents of the Li family in Xiyan Town. In a direct confrontation with two esteemed sorcerers, they surprisingly did not fall behind at all, and even managed to obliterate one of them completely, leaving no trace of bones.
It seems to mock those lofty sorcerers, who are no different from mortals; their so-called condescension and sense of superiority are so laughable, so inexplicable
The sneer of a mortal
Classmate Li Xiaobai, who was preparing to find an opportunity to slip away, was left dumbfounded
Li Mo, the young man, rolled on the ground, his face smeared with tears and mud. However, he could do nothing but watch helplessly as Li Dahu was violently blasted away by the opponent's spell
... ...
In just a few short steps, under full exertion, he surprisingly surpassed even the flying sword that had turned back behind him, moving even faster.
Young man!
He did not withdraw the flying knife that pierced through his right palm; instead, with a swift motion of his left hand, the flying sword that had pierced through Li Mo's right shoulder shot back out, accompanied by a spray of blood droplets
Second brother Li Qing struggled on the ground, at this moment he hated himself for being just a bookworm, truly a scholar of no practical use
Casting his gaze towards Li Qing and Li Xiaobai not far away, he summoned the last of his magical power and directed the flying sword to shoot forward.
The senior brother of the Star Picking Pavilion was about to activate the flying sword embedded in Li Mo's shoulder to strangle him, when a sudden sense of danger surged in his heart, prompting him to instinctively raise his right hand to block a flash of cold light that appeared out of nowhere
Young man!
I do not know when it began, but these mere mortals have actually been able to injure the lofty sorcerers. This is intolerable, utterly intolerable!
And what about the second brother? Li Xiaobai continued to feign a state of helplessness, while the still unhealed Erlang, Li Qing, looked on, perfectly embodying the notion that a scholar is utterly useless.
However, Li Dahu seized the opportunity to charge towards the opponent, raising his hand, and two flying daggers shot out, completely disregarding the flying sword coming from behind.
A sudden shock surged through his heart, and only then did the senior brother from the Star Picking Pavilion notice that there was a small hole, about an inch in size, on the spiritual energy shield protecting him, which was slowly closing under the influence of magical power
The sorcerer's flying sword was like a firefly rushing towards the sun, silently and completely dissolved, as if it had never existed at all
The few black pills that were just ingested, although rare, are still merely ordinary items, and their medicinal power has yet to be fully released
A shadowy figure was violently hurled into the air, barely passing over the heads of Li Jialang Li Qing and the other young members of the Li family, tracing a parabolic arc before crashing down into the Li residence, followed by a tremendous muffled sound
If you do not believe, look up; does Heaven spare anyone
It was as if something had cracked open, and a loud cracking sound echoed in Li Xiaobai's ears
Even so, this fatal injury has irrevocably set the life of the Star Picking Pavilion senior brother on a countdown to its end
A strange sound emanated from the depths of the sorcerer's throat, and he suddenly glared fiercely at Li Mo, gritting his teeth as he said: "What a skillful tactic, truly a skillful tactic! I admit I underestimated you mere mortal ants, but even in death, I will make you taste the pain of losing your loved ones, may you forever live in regret, worse than death!"
Li Xiaobai shook his head at Wu Xiangjun, who was plummeting, still resolutely turning his back to the swiftly approaching flying sword, using his own body to protect this young lady, whom he had only known for a short time and who might become his wife in the future
In the eyes of his senior brothers at the Star Picking Pavilion, Li Mo, who has paid a tremendous price to activate the spirit talisman, has completely become a fish on the chopping board, unable to escape. Instead, the Li Dahu before him, who wields flying knives, is the truly threatening opponent.
Since the moment the aura shield was breached, the opponent was already qualified to be his rival
My biological father is Old Li Feidao, my elder brother seems capable of activating the spirit talisman to eliminate sorcerers, my future wife possesses a mysterious protective artifact, and I harbor a mysterious lotus seed in my heart. This family truly never ceases to amaze.
Click!
Hehe! A mortal is just a mortal! Uh! Damn!
In just a brief moment, Li's eldest son seemed to age several decades; his hair turned black, his skin became wrinkled, and his posture hunched over. The two flying swords inserted into his shoulders became a significant burden.
