Chapter 159: Chapter 117: No More Li Hao in the World (Guaranteed Combined Chapter)_2

“As a peerless genius with the greatest natural talent, you don’t have connections like Li Qianfeng. What will people think? Are you too arrogant? Too aloof?”

Li Hao’s eyes narrowed slightly as he said coldly, “What others think has nothing to do with me.”

“Besides, if I were to reveal my talents, do you think the demons would only send assassins from the Zhou Tian Realm? If the demons knew Yu Xuan was protecting me, wouldn’t they send assassins from the Immortal Realm?”

“If I displayed my talents, given the progress of my cultivation, even sending someone from the Immortal Realm wouldn’t be considered excessive, would it?”

Li Tian Gang was momentarily stunned, his complexion slightly changed. Indeed, in terms of natural talent, it was truly so.

With the madness of those demons, there’s nothing they wouldn’t do.

Moreover, to deal with a six-year-old useless child, they had already sent an assassin from the Zhou Tian Realm. If they knew of Li Hao’s exaggerated natural talent, I’m guessing the first assassination attempt would involve the Heavenly Human Realm, or even the Immortal Realm!

If someone from the Immortal Realm took action, unless the older generation of the Li Family secretly protected him, the assassination was almost guaranteed to succeed!

“In the competition of True Dragons, connections are just an embellishment. What’s there to care about? With Hao Er’s talent, with just one call, which prestigious family wouldn’t come to visit?”

Li Muxiu interjected, “Moreover, Hao Er can receive favor from Emperor Yu. What need does he have for other connections? Why don’t we see that child Qian Feng being favored by His Majesty?”

Li Tian Gang glanced at him. Of course, he understood this reasoning, but he felt that Li Hao wasn’t making good use of it, being too carefree.

Having talent isn’t something to squander!

“The matter of assassination, indeed you have your reasoning, but as a family of military generals, this is the fate every descendant of the Li Family must face.”

Li Tian Gang said sternly, “Not just you, every boy of the Li Family has faced assassination attempts. Ask your second uncle; the demons see us as thorns in their sides. I’ve heard that some of our older generation’s children died shortly after birth, and sometimes while playing in the streets, they’re ambushed by demons blending into the crowd!”

“Your survival to this day is already a stroke of luck.”

Li Hao’s face was expressionless as he said, “Then being born into the Li Family is truly my good fortune.”

“As a son of the Li Family, is this the extent of your awareness?” Li Tian Gang said coldly.

Li Hao couldn’t help wanting to laugh, but looking at the other’s face, he really couldn’t bring himself to smile. He said indifferently:

“The reason I’m saying all this isn’t for anything else, and don’t misunderstand; I’m not trying to blame or complain, nor am I trying to share my grievances with you.”

“I’m just saying, your son is indeed dead. From now on, I will no longer be a member of the Li Family. Please step aside and don’t block my way!”

“What is your attitude!”

Anger surged in Li Tian Gang’s eyes as he said furiously, “At such a young age, what have you learned other than running away from home?!”

“Running away from home?”

Li Hao gave a snort of laughter, “This isn’t my home; I’m just a tenant. I’ve been renting for fourteen years. The cost of food, clothing, and everything else I’ve spent in these fourteen years, I will repay you!”

Li Muxiu glared angrily at Li Tian Gang, but at this moment he was too concerned to scold him. Looking at Li Hao with a pained expression, he said, “Hao Er, don’t be rash. If you don’t like staying in Mountain and River Courtyard, you can live with my grandfather at Listening Rain Tower from now on.”

“There, no one will manage you, no one can!”

“With my grandfather there, I won’t let you be wronged again.”

Li Tian Gang angrily said, “Listening Rain Tower is also part of the Li Family’s property, and the cultivation techniques inside were also collected by our ancestors. Isn’t the skill he has learned due to them? Even without relying on elixirs, doesn’t he owe it to the cultivation techniques?”

“Li Tian Gang!!”

Li Muxiu roared furiously, “Do you really want to drive Hao Er away, to his death?!”

Li Tian Gang was stunned by the roar but did not back down, saying indignantly, “Second uncle, stop indulging him! Does he really think all his skills come from himself?”

“The blood that flows in his veins is from me and Qingqing!”

“Without the union of me and Qingqing, could he have such a demon-like talent that defies all norms?”

“Without the cultivation techniques collected by the Li Family, could he have his current abilities?”

“If he didn’t carry the surname ‘Li,’ would Emperor Yu have cared, have favored a mere mortal like him?”

He became louder and more angry as he spoke, “All the glory and brilliance he has is because he bears the surname ‘Li’!”

“You, you’re absolutely unreasonable!”

Li Muxiu was so angry he couldn’t speak. He had never been defied like this by the young man before him.

Over the years, Li Tian Gang had killed numerous demons on the frontier and had grown from a young man into a middle-aged one; his temper seemed different than before.

“Uncle!”

Bian Ruxue and Li Yuanzhao both had ugly expressions, looking at Li Tian Gang with concern, but they were too intimidated by his immense authority and spirit to speak out.

The god-like authority made them shiver.

Faced with the angry Li Tian Gang, Li Hao’s demeanor remained exceptionally calm, his eyes becoming exceptionally cold, as he slowly said:

“You’re right, so as I said earlier, I will no longer carry the surname ‘Li’, nor will I be a member of the Li Family.”

“Today, you either step aside or kill me!”

“You think I wouldn’t dare?” Li Tian Gang said angrily.

The aura around Li Hao revealed itself, and his eyes sharpened, “Then try.”

“Enough, Tian Gang!”

Li Muxiu’s face flushed with Blood Qi, his eyes radiating a terrifying light, “Don’t force me to break my heart oath. Once I break it, I won’t hesitate to cripple you today!”

Li Tian Gang’s expression changed slightly. He naturally couldn’t resist Li Muxiu’s strength, but he hadn’t expected the latter to protect Li Hao to such an extent, which filled him with resentment.

If it weren’t for these elders, with proper discipline, he was sure he could rectify all of Li Hao’s bad habits.

“Hao Er is like this today, all thanks to you!” Li Tian Gang said through clenched teeth.
