Chapter 6: The Wind of the Strike

The elder and the head of the family went out together, while the lady remained in the house. A maid named Ling'er sweetly replied, and then softly added: "Moreover, Young Master Yan, you have been away for more than half a month this time. The head of the family, the elder, and the lady are all very worried about you, especially the elder, who goes to the back mountain to look for you every day. When he returns, he gets extremely angry, so you must be careful when you see him later."

"Sister Ling'er, I have something to do, so I won't be going home for now. When you see Uncle and the others, just tell them that I have already returned, so they don't need to worry. I will be back tonight!" Li Yan quickly said a sentence and immediately turned around and ran out.

Ah—! Li Jin only felt a fierce punch coming towards him, and then he felt a sharp pain in his jaw. His entire body was sent flying several meters back, landing on the ground with a thud, letting out a scream akin to that of a slaughtered pig

It seemed that previously something in the pond had absorbed my blood, which brought me to that cave. Let's give it a try. Li Yan thought for a moment, then walked to the edge of the pond again, extending his hands. However, he discovered that the wound on the back of his hand had already healed. After pondering for a while, he gritted his teeth, made a small cut in the palm of his hand, and a fine wound immediately appeared, with blood flowing out. He then extended his injured hands into the pond.

It is best if I do not see you again; otherwise, I will hit you every time I see you!" Li Yan turned around and saw Li Jin still writhing in pain on the ground. He said this to him in a low voice, then left calmly.

You! If you have the guts, come with us to the back mountain, and see if I won't knock you down. Seeing Li Yan so aggressive, Li Jin was also slightly angered, thinking that Li Yan was an elder at the family gate, and he himself did not dare to lay a hand on him

Indeed, I have returned, but was what just happened considered a fortuitous encounter? Hehe, I didn't expect to experience a moment of the legendary fortuitous encounter as well. After returning to the shore, Li Yan recalled what had just transpired and couldn't help but smile. The only thing he felt somewhat regretful about was that peculiar sign and that scroll he had not brought out.

For him, it is now most important to first adapt to his current strength. He believes that with his current cultivation, combined with the Seven Kill Fist, no one in the Li family will ever dare to say the words 'he is useless' in front of him again

Get lost! ~ '' Li Yan said coldly to Li Jin.

It seems that due to the enhancement of my cultivation by two levels, my Seven Killing Fist has also reached the realm of striking with the wind. Yes, it must be so, Li Yan thought to himself.

With a whoosh, Li Yan threw a punch, and the sound of the air being sliced by his fist immediately rang out. Upon hearing this sound, Li Yan himself was taken aback and quickly reduced his strength by ninety percent. However, his arm swung outward as a result, and before Li Jin could react, a punch struck him on the chin.

Li Yan truly did not realize that half a month had already passed. It is likely that during the time spent in that cave, while his bones were being tempered by the luminous pearl, a considerable amount of time had elapsed without his awareness

"Am I back...?" After a brief moment of distraction, Li Yan immediately surged to the surface of the water and swam towards the shore

"Uh? Sister Ling'er, you said, I have been out for half a month this time?" Hearing the words of the maid Ling'er, Li Yan was first taken aback, then asked uncertainly.

Ah! Just as Li Yan was struggling with how to leave this cave, he suddenly felt a violent vibration at his forehead. In the next moment, he felt a loud 'buzz' echoing in his head, and then everything before his eyes went dark, causing him to lose consciousness. Immediately, a gentle light emanated from Li Yan's body, and in the next moment, he completely vanished from this stone chamber.

The first form of Seven Kill Fist - Fist Bone

"Sister Ling'er, are my uncle and aunt at home?" Li Yan asked with a slight smile. Although Li Yan is the only grandson of the head of the Li family, he has never shown any airs. He always greets the servants with a smile, and during his childhood, he often played with them, which is why he is deeply loved by the servants in the Li family

Hey, don't go! We didn't settle the score from our last match, so let's continue today!" Li Jin said teasingly as he blocked Li Yan's path with his tall frame, noticing that Li Yan was silent and trying to leave.

"Are you telling me to get lost?" Li Jin did not expect that this usually timid and cowardly person, who would faint at the slightest excitement, would suddenly show some backbone and dare to speak to him like this. The smile on his face gradually faded, and his expression turned gloomy

"What did you say?" Upon hearing Li Yan's words, a surge of hostility rose in Li Jin's eyes as he coldly laughed and said, "Li Yan, it's been a few days since we last met, and you've really become bold, daring to tell me to get lost? It seems that the last time I beat you was too light; you haven't learned your lesson at all"

At that moment, a melodious voice came from afar. Li Yan turned around and saw a graceful figure approaching him with a smile on her face

"Hehe~" Seeing Li Yan's expression, Ling Er couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle, "Young Master Yan, when we call for the master and madam later, you should refrain from speaking like that, as your manner of lying is simply too obvious."

Fist Wind! I can actually unleash Fist Wind! Without paying any attention to the howling Li Jin, Li Yan merely stared blankly at his own fist, his eyes filled with disbelief. He had not expected that his Seven Kill Fist could suddenly produce Fist Wind, and Li Yan had no doubt that if he had not suddenly retracted ninety percent of his strength from that punch just now, Li Jin would certainly be crippled, if not dead.

Uh, this... I have been in seclusion outside for a few days, and I didn't pay attention to the time. I didn't expect that so much time has passed, hehe. " Li Yan said with a silly smile, scratching his head, his expression extremely unnatural.

Hmph! Li Yan's expression darkened, his body slightly leaning to the left. His right hand clenched into a fist, and he raised his shoulder, arm, elbow, and wrist in a segmented manner. A series of cracking sounds echoed from his arm, and then he threw a punch, aiming directly at Li Jin's fist.

After Li Yan left the house, he prepared to continue his training in the back mountain. However, just as he stepped out of the Li family's main gate, he unexpectedly encountered someone he least wanted to meet.

"Young Master Yan, you have returned?" As Li Yan stepped through the door, a maid dressed in a pink skirt with two long braids noticed him entering and approached him with a hint of joy in her expression, respectfully speaking.

When Li Yan opened his eyes again, he felt a sudden constriction in his breath, followed by a chill that enveloped his entire body. When he regained his senses, he discovered that his body was actually submerged in the same pool of water as before

After leaving the Li family, Li Yan went straight to the back mountain and began practicing the Seven Kill Fist. He continued his training until the sun set behind the mountains. Only then did Li Yan reluctantly stop, feeling that he could have continued. However, after such a long period of practice, Li Yan not only did not feel fatigued, but instead felt invigorated and full of energy. More importantly, he had finally achieved a level of mastery in the Seven Kill Fist, allowing him to execute it with ease and control.

"Waste, you are seeking death!" Li Jin originally intended to merely tease Li Yan this time and had no intention of actually hitting him. However, Li Yan's attitude today greatly displeased him, and he immediately threw a punch towards Li Yan's face.

Oh, isn't this my family's great 'genius' Master Li Yan? It's been so long since you've shown your face; could it be that after I gave you a beating last time, you are too afraid to face people?" As Li Jin approached and saw Li Yan, a faint cold smile immediately appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he stood in front of Li Yan, mocking him.

Indeed, Young Master Yan, have you forgotten how long you have been out by yourself?

Those two items must both be extraordinary treasures; it is truly a pity that they were not brought out. I wonder if it is still possible to return there

"Go to the back mountain? I have no interest in that. If you don't dare to make a move, then hurry up and get lost. I don't have time to waste talking to you. " Li Yan raised his head, appearing somewhat impatient, "I will say it again, get out of the way!"

After waiting for a long time, the wound in Li Yan's palm was painfully blistered, yet the water pool remained unresponsive. Li Yan could only withdraw his hands and sighed, "Forget it, what is meant to be mine will eventually return to me. I don't even know how long I stayed in that cursed place. I should head home first." With that, Li Yan stood up and began to run wildly in the direction of the Li family.

Hmph! In response to Li Jin's mockery, Li Yan merely snorted coldly, disregarding it, and intended to bypass him and leave

"Hit me? Go ahead and try!" Li Yan laughed. After the strange encounter in that peculiar stone chamber, his cultivation level had now reached the sixth stage of Body Refinement, standing at the pinnacle of Bone Refinement, while Li Jin was still at the fifth stage of Body Refinement. Did he still think he could hit him?
