"Big Brother!" Li Qi cried out involuntarily.
The Li Family disciples' eyes darkened as they broke out in cold sweat for Qin Shi. That kick just now was too powerful, like a ferocious beast.
Han Long's old eyes turned feverish, and his exhausted body straightened up. He said excitedly, "Haha, you're finally back?"
He rushed to the figure that had suddenly appeared. "How is it?
Did you get it? "
The figure smiled faintly and extended his hand to Han Long. In his hand was a round object stained with blood, emitting a red glow.
Seeing that item, the tiredness on Han Long's face was washed away by surprise, and his face was filled with excitement. "Good, good, good, good. I really didn't lie to you. I've waited for a hundred years, and it's finally going to be over. It won't be long before the entire Merchant City will be under the control of my Han Family.
"It's him?"
One of the Li Family elders, the one who had knocked out Qin Shi at the Memorial Auction, Li Jianlong, turned serious when he saw the figure.
"Elder Jianlong, do you know him?"
Li Qi asked. Many of the Li Family disciples looked at him curiously.
Li Jianlong's eyes narrowed into slits. It was obvious that he was very wary of the figure. He had a Domain, but he was still afraid. It was obvious that the figure was extraordinary.
"Phew …!"
He let out a long sigh. "We don't just know each other. We've been fighting for hundreds of years and are old friends."
"Who is this person?"
"He's Han Long's younger brother, the second-in-command of the Han Family, Han Wenjiu."
"Han Wenjiu?" Li Qi frowned, slightly puzzled. "Who is that?
Why haven't I heard of this name before? "
"Of course you haven't."
Han Long smiled bitterly, unsurprised. "Hundreds of years ago, ever since Han Long took over as the Han Family Head, Han Wenjiu has been hiding in the dark. Even in Merchant City, very few people know of him, let alone you. However, he's extremely powerful and talented. He's no weaker than Han Long. They're both at the Phenomenal Domain Realm."
"What?" Clang!
Li Qi and many of the Li Family disciples widened their eyes and said with a slight tremble, "Greater … Greater Domain?
Isn't that the same as my father? "
"How could that be?
Didn't they say that only the patriarchs of the Han and Li families had reached the phenomenal domain realm?
Where did this Han Wenjiu come from? "The Li Family disciples became nervous.
There was a fundamental difference between the Great Completion Domain Realm and the Domain Realm. Domain Realm was not rare in a developed commercial hub like Merchant City. However, there were only three people who had reached the Great Completion Domain Realm. They were the Family Head of the Han Family, the Family Head of the Lee Family, and the Family Head of the Guo Family.
This balance had been maintained for hundreds of years, and it should be a well-known fact in the merchant city. Therefore, it was no wonder that the Li Clan's disciples were so surprised when a Greater Mastery Domain suddenly appeared.
Han Long nodded helplessly. "That is indeed the case. News of him was deliberately concealed in Merchant City. The Han Family did not want him to be exposed, and it was the same for the Li Family and the Guo Family. We did not want to alarm the public."
"If Han Long is the Li Family's eyes, then Han Wenjiu is the Han Family's spear. He has always been working for Han Long in the dark. That is why many families and forces that have offended the Han Family have been annihilated for no reason all these years. This was all done by Han Wenjiu. This person is extremely powerful, so powerful that even I do not know how powerful he is."
Hearing this, the Li Family disciples fell silent. Li Qi's expression also became sorrowful. Now that Li Hong was seriously injured, Han Long alone had already increased the pressure on the Li Family. Now that Han Wenjiu had appeared, it was undoubtedly a disaster for the Li Family.
"Li … Li Family disciples, listen up."
"Patriarch!"
Li Hong suddenly spoke, and many of the Li Family elders surrounded him.
"Father!" Li Qi grabbed Li Hong's hand and asked worriedly, "How are you?"
Li Hong's face was pale as he said, "Save, save Young Friend Qin. He is our Li Family's benefactor. Even if we have to sacrifice the entire family, we must protect him. Our Li Family, the Li Family, has always been people who value friendship and righteousness. Our words are like spilled water …"
"Patriarch, this …!"
"No one is allowed to disobey. This is an order!" Before anyone could speak, Li Hong suddenly said, "Quick!
Quick! "
"Yes!"
The Li Family disciples nodded with reddened eyes.
"I'll go first!" Li Qi gritted his teeth and stomped his feet. He stood up and leaped toward Qin Shi.
"Young Master!"
Li Jianlong panicked. He reached out with his withered hand and restrained Li Qi. Then, he took a step forward and did not give Li Qi a chance to struggle. A sealing barrier trapped him.
Li Qi asked anxiously, "Uncle Long, what are you doing?"
"Young Master, don't blame me. Everyone can die except you. You are the Li Family's descendant. The Li Family will depend on you in the future. Don't forget, there's still Hong Dou. She needs you!"
Li Jianlong pushed with his palm and sent Li Qi a thousand meters away. Then, he turned around and smiled bitterly. He leaped and stood in front of Qin Shi.
"Young man, you're not dead, right?"
Qin Shi clenched his teeth in pain. A faint green light flashed on his chest. The Sweet Pouring Rain Technique increased his cultivation base. Only then did his ribs heal. He struggled to sit up. "Almost."
"Hehe, it's good that you're not dead. I'm afraid it's going to be a tough battle. If there's a chance, you should leave. The Li Family owes you. This time, we will definitely help you get through this."
Hearing this, Qin Shi was stunned. But just as he was about to retort, Li Jianlong waved his hand and smiled. "That's enough. Don't talk nonsense. If you really can leave, remember to take care of Young Master."
Then, Li Jianlong got up and flew from Qin Shi's side. He approached Han Long and Han Wenjiu. Behind him, there were many domain patterns.
"Han Wenjiu, long time no see."
"Li Jianlong?" Han Wenjiu narrowed his eyes and smiled eerily. "I didn't expect you to break through to the Domain Realm.
I thought you wouldn't be able to get through it and die early. "
"I thought so too. But I'm lucky." Li Jianlong shrugged.
Han Wenjiu was about to speak again, but Han Long suddenly interrupted him and said coldly to Li Jianlong, "Li Jianlong, I won't talk nonsense. Seeing that we're good friends and we're all natives of Shang City, I can pretend that today's incident never happened if you take the Li Family's disciples and leave now. As for that old dog Li Hong, I won't make things difficult for him. If he can get through this and survive, he'll be lucky. However, he has to stay."
Then, Han Long pointed at Qin Shi, and his eyes were burning with anger. "I only want him!" Li Jianlong frowned.
This condition was indeed very tempting. Even Qin Shi, who was watching from below, couldn't help but focus. Suddenly, Li Jianlong smiled and shook his head. He spread his hands and said to Han Long, "That's possible. I'm sorry, but I don't have the final say. I'm only responsible for carrying out the family head's orders. The family head said that this kid can't die. Then, even if I have to sacrifice my life, I'll protect him. The Li Family will protect him!"
Han Long's eyes changed. "You're courting death!"
"Disciples of the Han Family, listen up! Annihilate the Li Family!
I want that kid alive! I want him alive! I want him to suffer a fate worse than death! "It was clear that Han Long was truly enraged by Qin Shi. He summoned many disciples of the Han Family and roared.
The disciples of the Han Family obeyed and pulled out their crossbows again.
Bang!
Bang! Bang!
The battle started again. The Li Family's foundation was indeed strong. Although the Li Family didn't have Li Hong and no one else had reached the Domain Realm, the Li Family had a total of thirteen Domain Realm experts, more than the Han Family's generation. The Han Family only had six Domain Realm experts.
The Li Family gained the upper hand in the battle. Li Jianlong was alone, and he clashed with two Heaven Pinnacle level experts of the Han Family. Three consecutive palm strikes injured the two of them.
"Damn it!" Han Long coughed and clenched his fists.
Pa!
Suddenly, a large hand pressed down on him. Han Wenjiu smiled from the side. "Brother, forget it. You've expended a lot of energy, and you have hidden injuries in your body. That little girl from the Rainbow Auspicious Cloud Snake Clan seems to have injured you quite badly. You should recuperate from now on. Leave this to me."
Han Wenjiu's words were extremely domineering. Although he was also old, there was still a hint of youthful vigor in him.
Han Long hesitated for a moment before he narrowed his eyes and nodded. "Alright then. Do you remember what I said just now?"
"Don't worry. That kid won't be able to escape."
Han Wenjiu eerily smiled. Soon after, he waved his hand. Suddenly, an icy-blue flame shot out from his hand, extending towards Qin Shi's surroundings.
Qin Shi's heart sank when he felt the cold and scorching heat. "This is …??
Icy Blue Flame?
The Han Family has gathered all four of the Primordial Dire Beasts? "
Bang!
But before he could be too astonished, a huge blue cage fiercely restrained Qin Shi.
Han Wenjiu clapped his hands in satisfaction. Then, he suddenly turned around and looked at Li Jianlong. He licked his dry lips and said excitedly, "Now, it's time to reap the harvest."
Li Jianlong suddenly felt a chill behind him. He quickly turned around. Then, before he could react, his chest was hit by a palm. A piercing pain made him twitch a few times, and his body was sent flying.
Rumble!
He landed on a mountain a thousand meters away, and the valley was shattered by him.
"You can't even withstand a single blow?"
Han Wenjiu was very arrogant. He shook his head in disappointment. Then, he fixed his gaze on the other disciples of the Li Family. Next, he was like a wolf that had rushed into a flock of sheep, ravaging and killing them to his heart's content. Not a single disciple or elder of the Li Family could last more than three rounds against him. He was like a nightmare for the Li Family, causing them to despair.
"No, no, no!!!"
One after another, his family and friends lost their lives in front of him. Li Qi grabbed onto the barrier and screamed crazily.
On the contrary, the more disciples of the Li Family died, the more excited Han Long became. It was as if he had been waiting for this day for a long time. His fanaticism sent chills down people's spines.
However, compared to this, there was something else that made him even more excited. He suddenly lowered his head. With Han Wenjiu on the battlefield, he was very relieved. He looked at the object in his hand that was emitting a faint red light.
