At the entrance of the Li Family's residence, nearly thirty people surrounded him. The leader had an arrogant expression, wore fine clothes, and his eyes were full of cold killing intent. Behind him, everyone was dressed in tight-fitting clothes and had long knives at their waists.
The people living around the Li Family all kept their houses tightly shut, not daring to breathe loudly.
Li Shishan hurriedly led the Li Family members out, and he immediately knelt on the ground, his face pleading. "Young City Lord, spare our lives!"
"Our Li Family was blind to Mount Tai greatness. We beg the Young City Lord to be magnanimous. Our Li Family will never cause trouble again. We only ask that the Young City Lord grant our Li Family a way out."
The Li Family is very weak.
Therefore, when faced with the City Lord's Mansion, they could only kowtow and beg for mercy; there was nothing else they could do. If they chose to resist, they would only suffer an even more miserable death.
Zhou Bi sneered, "Old man, weren't you so arrogant before?"
He walked straight up to Li Shishan and kicked him in the shoulder.
Li Shishan was already old, and this kick almost dislocated his arm. He rolled on the ground in pain, but he still endured it without crying out, his face showing a pleading expression:
"Young... City Lord, I beg you to spare the Li Family's life. If you are angry, then kill this old man to vent your anger, as long as you spare the Li Family."
The rest of the Li Family members, their eyes filled with grief, knelt on the ground, begging for forgiveness.
Zhou Bi's face was full of arrogance. He coldly glanced around and, seeing the despair on the faces of the Ye Family members, a glint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
He just loves to see Ant kneeling before him, desperately pleading.
Zhou Bi really enjoys toying with people like this, such as giving them hope first and then letting them despair.
Zhou Bi slowly walked towards Li Shishan, a mocking look in his eyes. "Simply killing you is too boring. How about we do something more interesting?"
As he spoke, he tossed a dagger in front of Li Shishan.
Pick up the dagger and kill the man.
Zhou Bi casually pointed to a Middle-aged Man from the Li Family and said in a cold tone, "If you kill him, I can spare the ten members of the Li Family."
The entire Li Family gasped, and they all looked at Li Shishan.
Li Shishan picked up the dagger shakily, turned his head to look at the person Zhou Bi was pointing at. His eyes were bloodshot, and tears streamed down his face.
Everyone in the Li Family had red eyes.
Li Zhoufu was trembling with fear. His eyes were bloodshot, and he subconsciously took a half step back, but then knelt down and took two more steps forward.
"Old man, kill me! I'll trade my life for ten lives of the Li Family!"
"Value!"
His lips trembled as he spoke, and his eyes were filled with fear, showing how afraid he was of death. But for the Li Family, he was willing to give his own life to save ten people.
"Third Uncle, no... Xiangxiang doesn't want you to die."
A little girl of about five years old suddenly cried out, large tears streaming down her face.
Li Zhoufu forced a smile and turned to the little girl, saying, "Xiangxiang, be good, don't cry..."
Looking at the family's weeping and wailing, Zhou Bi's eyes flashed with annoyance. He said in a cold tone, "Hurry up."
Li Shishan was so frightened that he dropped his dagger to the ground. He immediately kowtowed, his head hitting the ground with a loud thud.
"Young City Lord, just kill me."
"Please kill me, I deserve to die. It's all my fault, it has nothing to do with the Li Family."
Li Shishan couldn't bring himself to turn his blade against his own people; if he had, he wouldn't have found peace even in the afterlife.
Zhou Bi snorted coldly and kicked Li Shishan in the head. Li Shishan was kicked two steps away and fell to the ground, almost unable to get up.
But Li Shishan still managed to get up with difficulty. Everything he saw was blurry, and his consciousness was hazy. He slowly crawled Past Zhou Bi, muttering to himself:
"Young City Lord, you... kill me."
Zhou Bi didn't respond. He simply said calmly, "Now I regret it. Killing him will only save five people. I'll give you another chance to choose: kill him or not."
"If you give up this opportunity, the entire Li Family may die next."
Zhou Bi naturally wouldn't let anyone go; his purpose in doing so was simply to have fun.
Upon seeing this, Li Zhoufu immediately knelt down and walked Past. He picked up the dagger from the ground and plunged it into his own neck without hesitation. Although his eyes were filled with fear, he did not hesitate at all.
But before he could even stab his neck, he was kicked away.
"Get out of here!"
Did I give you permission to move?
Zhou Bi coldly looked at Li Zhoufu: "What I want is for this old bastard to kill you; your suicide doesn't count."
Despair filled Li Zhoufu's eyes as he roared at Li Shishan, "Kill me, old man, or my entire Li Family will die!"
In the crowd, a pregnant woman was crying her eyes out.
She saw the smile Li Zhoufu had given her earlier, and she saw the heartache and helplessness in his eyes.
Li Family Li Zhoufu was terrified of his pregnant wife, but he had no choice but to sacrifice himself to save their lives.
Upon hearing the loud shout, Li Shishan stood up shakily. Looking at Li Zhoufu's resolute eyes, his right hand, gripping the Token, trembled uncontrollably.
The old hand was broken open, and blood stained the Token bright red.
"Ancestor, please save my Li Family!"
"My Li Family has worshipped you for countless years, and we only ask for your help this once, even if it's just this once."
Despair filled Li Shishan's eyes. He knew Zhou Bi would not let any member of the Li Family go. He wanted to see the Li Family kill each other. That was the result Zhou Bi wanted.
Even if I kill Li Zhoufu, everyone will still die.
A shadow crossed Zhou Bi's eyes.
"The Li Family Old Ancestor? Your Li Family has a damn Ancestor? Do you think he can crawl out of the ground and save you?"
Zhou Bi had lost interest in playing around; he drew his long sword and intended to kill Li Shishan directly.
But just as he was about to strike, the knife suddenly stopped in mid-air, or rather, everyone froze. Only their eyes could understand; their bodies seemed to have been put on pause.
Fear flashed in Zhou Bi's eyes.
What's this?
Suddenly, footsteps sounded.
Su Chen appeared out of thin air beside him, walking slowly with his hands behind his back. He looked at Li Shishan and said, "In this world, to live long, you must have enough strength."
You want a peaceful and stable life, but the world won't let you have that. Unexpected events will always happen to you.
Su Chen's voice was completely calm, but his eyes held an unparalleled killing intent.
After all, the Li Family were his descendants, and now that they were being treated so disrespectfully, how could he not be furious?
However, he did not kill these people directly. There were still many children in the Li Family who were too young to have bloodshed.
