Blowing a Breath to Annihilate You

"Is this the kid?"

A young man in his mid-twenties stared at Li Yu for a moment, then swept away the swirling dust with his sleeve and strode into the small shop.

"Reporting to the Seventh Young Master, it is indeed this kid."

The sallow-faced middle-aged man ducked into the room, pointed at Li Yu, and said to the Li Family Seventh Young Master with a fawning bow, "Seventh Young Master, this kid spoke with wild arrogance, showing no respect for our Li Family at all!"

"No respect for the Li Family? Hmph!"

A cold sneer touched the Li Family Seventh Young Master's sinister face as he glanced arrogantly at Li Yu, curling his lips in disdain.

"To dare interfere in my Li Family's affairs, I thought you must be someone of great standing! With no spiritual light, no connection to the Sea of Bitterness, aren't you just a mortal?"

The Li Family Seventh Young Master's gaze fell upon the bell at Li Yu's waist, and he let out another cold laugh. "Wang Xiao Er told me this was a treasure. Tch! Such dim spiritual light, it's clearly an unrefined trinket!"

His gaze shifted, and the Li Family Seventh Young Master looked at Tingting.

"Oh? Two years haven't passed, and this little girl has grown quite lovely."

A strange expression flickered in the Li Family Seventh Young Master's eyes, and a faint smile touched his lips. "Never mind. After all, I knew your parents. I'll grant you a fortune. Little girl, you will follow me from now on. When you grow up, you will be a concubine to me."

"Li, you're going too far!"

Old Man Jiang scooped Tingting into his arms, glaring furiously at the Li Family Seventh Young Master.

"Too far? What would you know, a mere mortal? If the little girl follows me, she'll enjoy endless wealth and honor. It's much better than suffering with you! This is my grace, don't be ungrateful."

The Li Family Seventh Young Master snorted, a chill rising in his eyes.

"Are you done spewing your nonsense? If you're done, then get lost!"

Li Yu found the incredibly arrogant Li Family Seventh Young Master utterly distasteful. With mere cultivation in the Sea of Bitterness realm, he was still so ostentatious, his tail practically in the sky. It was truly baffling.

"Oh? I haven't settled accounts with you yet, and you've appeared on your own?"

The Li Family Seventh Young Master frowned, looking at Li Yu. A vicious, cold smile played on his thin lips. "Since you're so eager to die, I'll send you on your way."

"Swish!"

A point of silver light bloomed.

A silver short spear, half a foot long, shot out like lightning, hurtling towards Li Yu.

"Be careful."

Old Man Jiang cried out in alarm and rushed to Li Yu's front, intending to block the incoming spear with his own body.

"Why bother?"

Li Yu smiled, reached out, and pulled Old Man Jiang behind him. He paid no mind to the flying spear, not even bothering to move.

"Whoosh!"

The flying silver short spear fiercely stabbed into Li Yu's chest, but…

It didn't even cause Li Yu's clothes to ripple. The flying silver spear melted rapidly like ice falling into a furnace, instantly dissolving into a wisp of smoke and vanishing completely.

"This… this is…"

The Li Family Seventh Young Master stared at the unbelievable scene, his eyes wide, unable to speak for a long time.

"Old man, why did you do that!"

Li Yu ignored the Li Family Seventh Young Master entirely and turned to look at Old Man Jiang. "Old man, I'm not afraid of him. Why did you do that?"

"Young brother showed me kindness. Seeing my benefactor in danger, how could I stand idly by?"

Old Man Jiang looked at Li Yu with a solemn expression. Despite his age, he was still full of spirit.

"Truly a Descendant of the Great Emperor."

Li Yu praised him inwardly. Even without a shred of power, he could still step forward at a critical moment. The direct descendants of a Great Emperor were indeed extraordinary.

"Hahahaha! I know! I know!"

At this moment, the Li Family Seventh Young Master suddenly burst into wild laughter, his eyes shining as he stared at Li Yu, as if he had discovered an unparalleled treasure.

"So it's this robe of yours that's the real treasure! Hahahaha! What incredible luck! To return home and have such a treasure delivered to my doorstep. I truly have boundless fortune!"

The Li Family Seventh Young Master laughed heartily, his eyes fixed on Li Yu. "Kid, obediently hand over the treasure, and I might consider sparing your life. Otherwise… one spell from me, and you'll turn to ash."

"Tsk tsk!"

Li Yu glanced at the Li Family Seventh Young Master, shook his head in disdain, and said, "It's my fault for letting a fly like you buzz around here for so long. So… it's time to correct that mistake."

"Kid, you're courting death!"

The Li Family Seventh Young Master was furious, waving his hand and scattering a stream of colorful mist, which descended upon Li Yu.

"A fly is still a fly."

Li Yu shook his head. "Even a puff of breath could destroy you."

"Puff…"

Li Yu opened his mouth and gently blew a breath towards the Li Family Seventh Young Master. The breath was faint, as if a normal person was simply exhaling.

There was no great gust of wind, no surging waves, no astonishing phenomena. Only a gentle breeze, like the calm flow of water, carrying no trace of fiery energy.

However, with a gentle exhale, the colorful mist instantly vanished.

Immediately following was the Li Family Seventh Young Master.

After blowing away the colorful mist, the breath immediately swept towards the Li Family Seventh Young Master.

"Ah..."

A piercing scream erupted from the Li Family Seventh Young Master's mouth. Wisps of green smoke rose from his body, as if he himself was being blown apart.

In the blink of an eye, the Li Family Seventh Young Master turned into a wisp of smoke and dissipated into the wind.

"Ah..."

"What kind of sorcery is this?"

"A ghost!"

The followers brought by the Li Family Seventh Young Master, witnessing the terrifying scene before them, were scared out of their wits and fled, screaming.

"Young man, what is this..."

Old Man Jiang was also startled, feeling immense surprise at Li Yu's incredible divine ability.

"Just a spell, nothing worth mentioning."

Li Yu smiled and waved his hand.

This was indeed not a very profound divine ability or spell, merely a simple "Calling the Wind" technique. However, Li Yu had cast this spell using the energy from the Heart of the Demon Emperor.

The Heart of the Demon Emperor was the source of the Azure Emperor's power, containing divine abilities and magical power at the Great Emperor level. Even though Li Yu had only utilized a minuscule fraction of it, not even one in a hundred million, it was still something the Li Family Seventh Young Master could not resist.

"So, Young Man, you're actually this powerful!"

Old Man Jiang was not an uncultured person. After all, Tingting's parents were cultivators, and Old Man Jiang had some understanding of such matters.

Even if the Li Family Seventh Young Master wasn't strong, he wasn't so weak as to be blown to death with a single breath.

The only possibility was... Li Yu was simply too strong!

"Benefactor, your great kindness is overwhelming. This old man is deeply grateful and has no way to repay you!"

Old Man Jiang's heart was filled with emotion, his eyes even reddening slightly.

The deaths of his son and daughter-in-law were definitely related to the Li Family. He was old, and Tingting was young. They were no match for the Li Family and could only endure their oppression without any power to resist.

He never expected to meet Li Yu, and he never thought he would live to see the day of revenge.

"Heaven has eyes!"

Old Man Jiang tightly grasped Li Yu's hand, tears streaming down his face.
