Chapter 2321: Chapter 2385: Even After Resurrection, Death Awaits

Li Yifei, however, did not care. He seemed not to see those people, nor hear their words. His gaze locked onto Old Master Zhao and he said calmly, "You’re already so old. I won’t kill you; you wouldn’t live much longer anyway. Why should I commit murder? I just want to tell you, and the Zhao Family, that there are always people better than you. Don’t always think you can act with impunity, that you can do whatever you want. If you encounter any problems in the future, think about today first!"

Hmm? He’s not going to kill? The courage that the Zhao Family Young Generation had just summoned was dissolved by Li Yifei’s words. Many people stopped and looked at Li Yifei in confusion.

Old Master Zhao painfully closed his eyes. Li Yifei’s decision not to kill today was even more serious than the consequences of killing. The noble aura Old Master Zhao had cultivated in the Zhao Family over decades... Today’s battle made it hard for many Zhao Family Young Generation to raise their heads.

Of course, this might be a good direction for development. It’s just that Old Master Zhao was once infatuated with the aristocratic family development model of Europe and wanted to mold the Zhao Family like that. Unfortunately, the descendants of the Zhao Family only learned arrogance, extravagance, and conceit, and didn’t learn much good.

"So!" Li Yifei, with his long sword pointing, looked down on everything and said indifferently: "The Zhao Family owes me an apology today, not because of that Zhao Xianmin, but because of your decisions!"

Old Master Zhao took a long breath, nodded, and said: "The Zhao Family indeed owes an apology, indeed owes an apology!"

This time, after Old Master Zhao finished apologizing, the Zhao Family Young Generation seemed to find nothing wrong. Some even nodded, showing a hint of shame on their faces. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Li Yifei stood calmly, having also pondered. Killing is easy, but if anyone was killed today, the grudge would grow bigger, unless Li Yifei could kill all the Zhao Family Young Generation in one go, which was obviously impossible. Not to mention that now Li Yifei’s Dantian is empty, even in his prime he couldn’t do it.

Moreover, they are also compatriots, also Huaxia People. Even though there are grievances, Li Yifei couldn’t do that. So after thinking it through, he decided to take the high road, showing a more noble stance.

Sure enough, after such a scenario, the Zhao Family Young Generation didn’t hate Li Yifei as much. Some even internally agreed with what Li Yifei said. Of course, this was also built on the fact that Li Yifei was indeed exceptional, with a cultivation level so high they couldn’t imagine, thus having enough fear in their hearts, and Li Yifei’s words carried a strong effect.

Old Master Zhao suddenly said loudly: "Zhao Family descendants, listen well. Today, I indeed made a mistake. I apologize to Li Yifei, the Patriarch of the Li family, hoping he can forgive. Also hoping that when you do things in the future, you will think thrice before acting, not bringing shame to the family!"

Indeed a person of character, unfortunately, age has made him senile. Li Yifei secretly nodded, seeing Old Master Zhao clasp his hands and bow in apology. Li Yifei calmly accepted it. Some Zhao Family Young Generation also followed the Old Master’s suit and apologized to Li Yifei, though some insisted on not apologizing.

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "The Li family has never made things difficult for others. There are so many businesses that just because the Li family does them doesn’t mean the Zhao Family can’t. You earn what you can, but I don’t hope to see you willing to let yourself lose just to compete with the Li family."

This is about the matter in South Dian Province, which Old Master Zhao naturally knew. He sighed; had he known sooner, should the Zhao Family even dare to compete for business, what would it matter to give the Li family a large sum of money? Why let it end with face lost now...

With heavy rain falling, many from the Zhao Family were already drenched, Old Master Zhao included. The elderly man stood in the rain curtain, looking somewhat pitiful.

Li Yifei was anxious, not for anything else; he was still using True Qi to block the rain curtain, maintaining his mysterious image, but that was draining his Innate Vital Energy. If he continued, it would be truly unworthy, so Li Yifei planned to say a few words and then leave.

Just at this moment, a dark mass — whether human or ghost — held down by Li Yifei, was suddenly moving. Even Li Yifei hadn’t noticed. Amidst the dark aura, the Grand Elder’s claw moved slightly, then started to tremble softly. The rain fell but couldn’t penetrate the dark aura.

In fact, just a few seconds later, the Grand Elder seemed to recover, clapping his claws on the ground, the whole person... or rather, the whole monster stood up. At this moment, Li Yifei just wanted to say something to wrap things up and then leave, but the outcome changed as the Grand Elder suddenly stood up, just meters away from the steward. Li Yifei naturally could see,

Can someone come back to life? This time it was Li Yifei’s turn to widen his eyes, because he just felt the Grand Elder’s life force was gone. Li Yifei thought this guy was directly killed by his combination punches.

Watching the revived Great Elder, Li Yifei instinctively stopped and stared at the other person. In the black mist, Li Yifei saw a pair of pale eyes staring back at him.

The Zhao Family Young Generation subconsciously retreated. God knows what the situation is with this Great Elder, how could he come back to life? More importantly, his appearance was terrifying.

The butler hurriedly asked, "Great Elder, are you... alright?"

Old Master Zhao, however, had a bad feeling surfacing in his heart, recalling how many righteous people besieged these two back in the years, but failed to succeed, and in the end, they escaped. What about this time...

As he was contemplating, the dark figure suddenly moved, but it wasn’t towards Li Yifei. While moving, the Great Elder made a ’kekeke’ sound, extremely creepy.

Before Li Yifei could act, the shadow swiftly lunged at the butler, enveloping him in black mist. The butler didn’t even have time to react, only a hand was visible, seemingly struggling, and he didn’t even make a sound.

"Butler!" many shouted, and Old Master Zhao immediately understood what was happening. He hastily retreated and shouted to the Zhao Family Young Generation, "Retreat quickly, this monster needs to feast on blood to replenish itself, retreat, all of you!"

In about ten seconds, the shadow moved again, swiftly pouncing on a Zhao Family Young Generation member who was dumbfounded. The black mist enveloped him, while the butler from before... had already turned into a mummified corpse.

Li Yifei could clearly feel that the Great Elder within the black mist was recovering rapidly, as if inflating a balloon, quickly swelling up. Li Yifei couldn’t help but frown, thinking to himself that he would have to act, otherwise, this creature might come after him once it was done absorbing blood.

Indeed, it was difficult to deal with. If not for his encounters and abilities that happened to counter this monster, he would have been the one drained and mummified by now.

Li Yifei gripped his blade, slashed several arcs of blade energy, which were even more violent and sharp condensing from Innate Vital Energy. Several arcs of blade energy slashed at the Great Elder, who was preoccupied with absorbing blood, making her howl with pain. Li Yifei wouldn’t show any mercy, slashing repeatedly, gathering the Innate Vital Energy, running it through his whole body, using his body movement skill, and chased after her. The shadow abandoned the Zhao Family Young Generation member and wanted to capture another target. Her energy consumption this time was enormous, almost in a near-death state. If not for her sinister cultivation technique, she might have died just now. Upon awakening, she immediately needed to feed on blood and absorb energy; if there were no blood sources within dozens of kilometers, the Great Elder would have soon perished. Unfortunately, she had captured the butler upon awakening, leaving the butler incapable of making any resistance, drained to a corpse, swiftly replenishing the Great Elder’s energy.

With no blood sources around, the people including Old Master Zhao and the Zhao Family Young Generation were desperately fleeing. In the square, it was only Li Yifei, and the recovering Second Elder, although mentally unclear, the Great Elder still knew not to provoke Li Yifei. Hence, she ran swiftly, attempting to shake off Li Yifei, then go to feed on the Second Elder.

At this moment, this creature couldn’t care less about the Second Elder or not, restoring herself was the most important. Upon realizing her intentions, Li Yifei suddenly stopped pursuing and watched as the dark shadow leapt several times to the meditating Second Elder, the black mist instantly enveloping him.

The Second Elder was quite unfortunate. Thinking Li Yifei was dead for sure, he confidently began meditating, seeking to recover himself quickly, to the extent of automatically closing off his senses. Who could have thought that the Great Elder not only didn’t win but was beaten nearly to death, urgently needing to feed on blood. If the Second Elder was conscious, he would never allow the Great Elder to feed on him; despite cultivating together for decades, they didn’t share that kind of relationship.

Conversely, if the Second Elder was in the same situation, the Great Elder wouldn’t allow him to feed either. Of course, if it were her, she’d choose to feed on the Great Elder as well.

The black mist rushed over, embracing the Second Elder, beginning to feed. By the time the meditating Second Elder realized it, it was already too late. He let out a scream that sounded even more miserable than the Great Elder’s, so when Li Yifei saw the dark shadow struggling on the ground, and the struggling from within the Second Elder weakened, only then did Li Yifei pat his forehead, realizing it wouldn’t help just to watch. Once the creature had fed and recovered, he’d be in trouble.

So, understanding this, Li Yifei immediately grabbed his blade and charged, Innate Vital Energy was Innate Vital Energy, slashing several arcs of blade energy, one of them rushed over, dispersing some of the black mist surrounding the Great Elder. Over ten consecutive slashes, Li Yifei felt the True Qi Blade in his hand was about to explode, so he mustered all his strength and struck heavily on the opponent’s back.

Poof! The True Qi Blade dissipated, and the black mist mass suddenly stopped; inside, there were screamings that were sharp and piercing, sounding like they came from hell. Li Yifei, being close, nearly got disoriented by them, while the Zhao Family Young Generation who had stopped distantly were scared and curiously peeking back; upon hearing those screams, many of them fainted directly.
