"He was actually able to receive it with his bare hands. He didn't even pull out his sword." The cognition of the surrounding cultivators had already collapsed. They did not know if the scene before them was reality or a dream.

Li Xuntian circulated his Innate Qi, materializing the Sword Qi. Both of his hands immediately turned into two sharp swords and slashed down. Without any hesitation, the flames in front of him were directly slashed into two and gradually disappeared.

An exquisite little box fell out from Leng Lingqi's sleeve, and Li Xuntian went forward to catch it.

Leng Xingyi was already prepared to fight, "Since it's like this, then let's talk after a fight."

When Li Xuntian saw Leng Xingyi rushing out, he wished that he could immediately kill him.

But thinking about it, if they were to kill Leng Xingyi now, Leng Lingqi's mother and brother's lives wouldn't be much better off.

Without waiting for Leng Xingyi to take the initiative, he immediately stepped on the Ghost Steps and appeared in Leng Xingyi's surroundings.

"So fast!" Leng Xingyi was astonished. Just watching the match just now, he already felt that this person had profound skills.

However, Leng Xingyi didn't want to admit defeat just like that either. He closed his eyes to carefully feel Li Xuntian's Ghost Steps, and after a while, he suddenly opened his eyes and struck out with his palm in a certain direction.

The afterimage left behind by Li Xuntian's swift Ghost Steps suddenly dissipated at this time, and Li Xuntian appeared in the spot where Leng Xingyi had struck with his palm just now.

"You still lack a lot!" Li Xuntian sneered. So what if he found the right direction, as long as he did not receive any substantial attacks, it would still be useless.

Leng Xingyi could not be more shocked, he spent so much effort to finally locate Li Xuntian's position, he did not expect the attack to be unable to cause any damage to him.

"Die!" Li Xuntian shouted as he struck out with his palm towards Leng Xingyi. Leng Xingyi was unable to dodge in time, and retreated quickly after getting hit, staring dead straight at Li Xuntian.

Leng Xingyi never thought that he would be smashed by the masked man's terrifying strength after planning so much, and everything turned into naught.

In truth, Leng Xingyi was not that weak, it was just because he was acting. With how strong the masked man was, if he did not go forward to snatch it, he would not be able to preserve his life.

Li Xuntian naturally did not want to keep fighting, so after throwing out his palm, Li Xuntian did not move forward.

"This time, I should have succeeded in deceiving everyone." Li Xuntian had already disappeared without a trace.

"Quick, let's see how Qi'er is doing. I'll go chase after that person!" With that said, Leng Xingyi followed the Qi left behind by Li Xuntian and chased after him.

Of course, Leng Xingyi was only putting on an act, after chasing him for a short while, he stopped in his tracks.

"I don't know where he came from, but his life is more important." Leng Xingyi muttered to himself.

Although treasures were important, it would not be worth it if he lost his life for the sake of the treasures.

Leng Xingyi turned around and returned in the direction of the Leng house.

"Leng Lingqi is dead. The treasure has been taken away. That person is simply a devil."

"Too terrifying, I don't even have the courage to fight."

"It's all gone, there's nothing left for us to do now." The crowd quietly dispersed.

Wan Yan still held onto Leng Lingqi and did not let go. Under Leng Xingyi's orders just now, she had already shown Leng Lingqi the doctors in the Leng house.

After the doctor looked at it, he expressed that he was powerless, and that Leng Lingqi could no longer be saved.

How could Wan Yan believe it? How could her daughter die so easily? That's impossible.

The One-horned Beast could no longer stand it any longer, so he had Bai Luoer help to move Wanyan to the side. Then, he felt that the pill might have some kind of error.

When he realized that Leng Lingqi no longer had a pulse, he sighed in relief, "It's too late."

Wan Yan fainted on the spot as she was caught by Bai Luoer with his Innate Qi.

Leng Huaiyu did not make a sound, and did not let out any tears as he carried Leng Lingqi into the house. Due to the excessive grief, there was no longer any emotion to express.

Although it was too cruel to both of them, there was nothing they could do to fool others.

When Leng Xingyi returned, he just so happened to be carrying Leng Lingqi's "corpse" back to his room.

"What's the situation?" Leng Xingyi asked the doctor who took Leng Lingqi's pulse. He originally wanted to check for herself, but seeing the situation now, it was not likely.

The medical officer answered respectfully, "Leng Lingqi is indeed dead."

Leng Xingyi had always believed in the doctor, hence he nodded his head, "Prepare to deal with the aftermath!"

"Yes." After Leng Xingyi finished instructing, he walked towards Leng Lingqi's broken house.

Leng Xingyi told Wan Yan and Leng Huaiyu that they did not manage to catch the masked man, and that the treasures had already been snatched away.

Wan Yan, however, didn't care at all. "Since he's already dead, what's the use of the treasures?" With that, he ignored Leng Xingyi.

Leng Huaiyu was even more indifferent to Leng Xingyi.

For a moment, the news of Leng Lingqi's death and her treasures being snatched away by some unknown expert had spread through the streets and alleyways. Because many people had personally witnessed it, no one doubted the authenticity of the matter.

There were also many people who felt very regretful. The heavens were jealous of their talent.

After all, Leng Lingqi was previously one of the top younger generation in Leng house. If not, he would have been too narrow-minded.

But in actuality, not a single person from the other two houses felt the slightest bit sad for Leng Lingqi's death.

Leng Yunshan and Leng Huaiyue only hated that they couldn't cut her down with their own hands; Leng Jiao, on the other hand, had a complacent look. She had wanted to kill Leng Lingqi since long ago, and now that her wish had been fulfilled, how could she not be happy?

Only Leng Xingyi visited Wan Yan a few times out of respect for her, so of course he hated the fact that her treasures had already been snatched away.

Two days later, Leng Lingqi was buried by her father's grave outside the city.

Her husband had been killed, her son's dantian had been destroyed, and now her daughter had left her. She hated herself for being so powerless to do anything.
