Chapter 1151: Chapter 1145: This Person Cannot Stay

This defies science—far too incredible. Could it be that the Zhao Family’s Half-step into Void Energy is deliberately holding back?

"Damn it!" Upon witnessing this scene, Zhao Wuji’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

He was not Lin Jianqing. The moment Li Changlin seized control over the Zhao Family’s clansmen, Zhao Wuji immediately realized that Li Changlin might very well have been concealing his true strength.

However, given the current tide of events, even if Li Changlin’s strength had indeed reached the Early Stage of Void Force, Zhao Wuji was still utterly fearless in his heart.

With his eyes dark and brooding, Zhao Wuji’s face suddenly cracked with a half-smirk, "I never expected that Young Master Changlin would possess strength comparable to the Xu Jing Early Stage. You’ve truly taken this old man by surprise!"

"Zhao Wuji, I advise you to recognize the situation at hand. If you withdraw now, I can let bygones be bygones and act as if nothing had happened. But if you continue to act recklessly, do not blame me for being ruthless!"

Since no one from the Lin Family had perished thus far, Li Changlin was also reluctant to escalate the situation. Contending for the Divine Artifact of the Seven Great Families was the top priority; mere Zhao Wuji and Zhou Yongyi could not influence the overall situation.

Of course, should these two fail to see reason, Li Changlin would not hesitate to resort to some measures.

It was just that Zhou Yongyi was Zhou Xingxing’s uncle, and Li Changlin still had certain reservations in his heart, making this matter not so easy to resolve.

"Young Master Changlin, do you really think that having strength akin to the Xu Jing Early Stage can save you from this disaster?" Zhou Yongyi took a step forward. Among those present, the Zhou and Zhao families had at least six experts in the Early Stage of Void Energy. Even though Li Changlin’s concealed strength was somewhat surprising to Zhou Yongyi, they no longer had an avenue of retreat.

The Zhao Family could choose to compromise, but not the Zhou Family.

The Zhou Family was merely a second-rate power; once Li Changlin returned, the Li Family would undoubtedly seek revenge on the Zhou Family.

When scheming, the Zhao and Zhou families were allies, but Zhou Yongyi held no assurance that the Zhao Family would aid them afterwards. He was unwilling and uninterested in taking that gamble.

Now, the only thing to do was to thoroughly drag the Zhao Family into the mire; Zhou Yongyi didn’t believe that so many people present wouldn’t be able to subdue Li Changlin.

Even if Li Changlin had the strength of the Middle Stage of Void Energy, nearly twenty people taking action at once could still ensure his demise on the spot!

"That’s right, Young Master Changlin, I would advise you to surrender without a fuss. Otherwise, this old man will have to be heavy-handed!" Of course, Zhao Wuji wouldn’t back down just because of Li Changlin’s words. On this visit to the Lin Family, the Zhao Family had come fully prepared. Although Li Changlin’s strength was beyond Zhao Wuji’s expectations, it wasn’t a big deal. As long as they overpowered the Lin Family’s ancestor, there would be no chance for the Lin Family to turn the tables.

"Since that’s how it is, it seems we can only let our actions speak the truth!" Li Changlin knew that persuasion was futile and immediately discarded the thought.

Consequently, everyone saw Li Changlin’s fingers suddenly tighten, instantly crushing the throat of the Half-step into Void Energy he held.

Crack!

With the throat crushed, death ensued, and watching this Zhao Wuji’s eyes almost split with fury. The man Li Changlin had killed was his clan brother—his anger was enormous.

However, Li Changlin acted as if he had done something trivial. He calmly faced the crowd and spoke in a deep voice, "Since we’ve torn off the mask of civility, it means life or death. Zhao Wuji, Zhou Yongyi, unleash whatever tactics you have!"

"Good, good, Li Changlin, I really did underestimate you!" Zhao Wuji gnashed his teeth, his eyes revealing threads of killing intent.

He swore that once he obtained the Holy Fruit and the Grass Revival Pill, he would surely eliminate Li Changlin, giving him no chance to live.

"Elder Zhao, Li Changlin must not be allowed to remain. We have to subdue him first, then waste his cultivation, and finally extract the whereabouts of the Holy Fruit and the Grass Revival Pill from him." In Zhou Yongyi’s eyes, a fierce killing intent burst forth.

Li Changlin’s decisive actions made him feel an extraordinary crisis.

If they did not eliminate Li Changlin now, he likely wouldn’t even be able to sleep peacefully.

Such a ruthless individual, and being the Li Family’s Legitimate Son, who has surprisingly reached the Boundary of Void Energy, if not eradicated, he would inevitably become the Zhou Family’s nightmare.

"That’s right, he must not be left alive!" Zhao Wuji obviously thought the same, and his fear was even greater than that of Zhou Yongyi.

Not only did Li Changlin hold the title of Li Family’s Legitimate Son, but he was also a disciple of the Taiji Sect. Although Zhao Wuji had never heard the name of Taiji Sect before, a sect that could produce treasures like the Holy Fruit and Grass Revival Pill clearly wouldn’t be weaker than any of the Eight Great Families.

Having already forged a deep enmity with the Li Family and offended the mysterious Taiji Sect, not controlling or eliminating Li Changlin would mean a terrible disaster for the Zhao Family.

"Zhou Family clansmen, heed my command! Let’s attack together, subdue Li Changlin first, then waste him!" Upon hearing Zhao Wuji’s words, Zhou Yongyi was unwilling to wait for even a moment longer and promptly waved his hand, leading the charge towards Li Changlin.

As a strong practitioner in the Early Stage of Void Energy, he didn’t take Li Changlin seriously at all.

Moreover, aside from him, the Zhou Family had two other strong practitioners in the Early Stage of Void Energy, plus several other masters at Half-step into Void Energy. Zhou Yongyi was ninety percent certain that they could defeat Li Changlin in one fell swoop and subsequently take him captive.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Seeing the Family Head make the first move, all members of the Zhou Family, even the one who had earlier blocked Lin Yichen and Lin Ruonan, charged at Li Changlin.

The combined attack of three at the Boundary of Void Energy and six at Half-step into Void Energy unleashed an overwhelmingly powerful momentum.

With such strength, it didn’t matter if one only had the cultivation level of the Xu Jing Early Stage, even a peerless expert in the Late Stage of Void Energy would likely choose to avoid direct confrontation.

The collective onslaught of nine people created a devastating force, causing Lin Jiancheng, Lin Jianqing, and others to feel their scalps tingle.

But that wasn’t all. As the Zhou Family made their move, Zhao Wuji also waved his hand and spoke with a deep voice: "Strike!"

Whoosh!

Immediately, the Zhao Family took action. Two of their early-stage Void Force practitioners rushed towards Lin Jiancheng and Lin Jianqing, while the others, including Zhao Wuji, all charged at Li Changlin.

They didn’t want to wait a moment longer and aimed to quickly stabilize the battle situation.

"Damn it!"

"The Zhao Family is shameless, and so is the Zhou Family! Zhou Yongyi, you won’t die a good death!"

"Let’s fight them!"

"Fight, fight!"
