“Huh? Clan Leader Li, what is it?”
Ye Wangchuan walked over, puzzled, when he saw Old Man Li calling him.
After all, the other party was, after all, the leader of a prominent family.
Although not as large as the Ye or Liu families, he still had to show some respect.
Who knows, maybe he’d need to rely on the Li family to get some gold coins from Li Luo in the future.
“Hahaha, what’s with calling me Clan Leader? That’s too formal. Just call me Uncle Li!”
Old Man Li waved his hand, walking over familiarly and patting Ye Wangchuan on the shoulder.
“Wangchuan, that Old Tang from the Tang family is only at the mid stage of the first level. Fighting him would be a bit like bullying a junior.”
“Just now, I sensed that you’ve already reached the early stage of the first level! I don’t know how you managed to level up so quickly, but I think you could try fighting Old Tang.”
“This could help you gain valuable combat experience, and with me watching, nothing serious will happen!”
Old Man Li’s words had two purposes.
On one hand, he genuinely wanted to cultivate Ye Wangchuan and gain favor with the Ye family.
On the other hand, he wanted Ye Wangchuan to be a hero who saves the beauty, thereby strengthening Ye Wangchuan’s bond with Li Luo!
“Hmm… There’s some truth to that.”
Ye Wangchuan thought for a moment and realized it made sense.
However, besides gaining combat experience, there was another aspect that was particularly important.
That was the opportunity to fleece Li Luo!
Li Luo had suddenly attacked Tang San, which might have seemed random to others.
But in Ye Wangchuan’s eyes,
Li Luo was definitely doing this to complete a system task!
That meant Li Luo must have some valuable items on her right now.
He didn’t need much—six Cultivation Pills and three Foundation Building Pills. That’s not too much to ask, right?
“Alright, I’ll go and have a few rounds with Old Tang.”
Ye Wangchuan said casually.
With a thought, he summoned a spear from his spatial ring and gripped it tightly, his muscles tensing.
Then, with a sudden burst of strength, he hurled the spear forward.
At the alley entrance,
Old Tang was about to continue smashing the alley with his hammer.
Suddenly, a faint breeze brushed against his shoulder, accompanied by a faint “whoosh” sound.
Old Tang’s pupils contracted, and with a palm strike on the wall in front of him, he used the counterforce to quickly retreat backward.
The moment he moved, a spear, like a giant arrow, “boom” slammed into the ground.
The immense force instantly created a one-meter-deep crater, sending rocks and dust flying everywhere.
Old Tang was drenched in cold sweat, his heart filled with lingering fear.
If he had been hit by that spear, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to stand.
“Can’t deny it, old folks really do have sharp sixth senses.”
Ye Wangchuan strolled over slowly.
He casually took out two more spears.
Approaching the alley entrance, he forcefully inserted the two spears, one in front and one behind, blocking the entrance.
The two spears effectively sealed the alley.
Inside the alley, Li Luo was completely baffled.
Ye Wangchuan’s move was to prevent Li Luo from escaping during the fight.
That way, he wouldn’t miss the chance to fleece her.
But…
In Old Man Li’s eyes, it was a different story.
“In such a tense combat situation, Ye Wangchuan’s first action was to use spears to protect the alley entrance, preventing Li Luo from being caught in the crossfire. How tender-hearted!”
Old Man Li said with a moved expression.
Ye Bai, who was slurping noodles beside them: “?”
Back to the fight.
“Young Master Ye, I don’t want to fight you! We have no grievances, so why are you blocking me?!” Old Tang said, his brows furrowed.
“If you don’t want to fight me, then leave the Ye family now, and no one will stop you.” Ye Wangchuan said casually.
“No, I want to kill that girl! She killed my son! I want her to pay with her life!” Old Tang’s eyes burned with rage as he spoke of Li Luo.
“Then I’ll have to stop you.” Ye Wangchuan said, taking out another spear from his spatial ring.
With a swing of the spear, he swiftly thrust forward.
Clang——!
The sound of metal clashing echoed.
In the field, Ye Wangchuan continuously used the spear to sweep, jab, thrust, and slash, switching attack styles with agility.
Old Tang, on the other hand, held a large hammer, blocking the spear’s attacks.
Unfortunately, while the hammer was great for breaking through heavy armor,
it was too cumbersome when faced with the spear’s longer reach and greater flexibility.
After just a few exchanges, Old Tang was already cut in three places and had a bloody hole in his body.
“No good, this kid has the advantage in weapons, and his spear skills are highly proficient. If this drags on, I’m sure to lose!”
“The most important thing is to avenge my son!”
As Old Tang thought, he noticed the spears blocking the alley entrance.
He immediately had an idea.
Clang——! Clang——!
The attacks continued.
Old Tang kept an eye on Ye Wangchuan’s movements.
Just as Ye Wangchuan was about to thrust with the spear—
“Boy! You’re still too young!”
Bang!
Old Tang suddenly used his hammer to push hard toward Ye Wangchuan.
A surge of immense force hit Ye Wangchuan, causing his balance to falter.
Ye Wangchuan decisively stabbed his spear into the ground, using the shaft to flip over and create distance from Old Tang, avoiding any follow-up attacks.
But when he landed, he found that Old Tang’s original position was now only occupied by the hammer.
Old Tang himself was sprinting toward the alley entrance.
Ye Wangchuan was shocked and quickly gave chase.
But the distance was too great!
At this moment, Old Tang had already reached the spears blocking the alley entrance!
“You little brat who killed my son! Go down and keep my son company!”
Old Tang roared, ready to pull out the spear blocking the alley and hurl it toward Li Luo inside.
His hammer, with its large head, couldn’t be thrown in to hit Li Luo.
But a spear? Killing a little kid inside would be a piece of cake!
Ye Wangchuan, who had been calm the entire time, now showed a hint of panic.
Inside the house, Old Man Li also frowned, ready to slap Old Tang to death.
“Die!!!”
Old Tang bellowed, grabbing the outer spear and pulling!
Crack——
The wooden shaft of the spear came off, while the spearhead remained stuck in the ground.
Old Tang stared at the wooden stick in his hand, momentarily stunned.
“……”
Snap!
“What the hell! You even tampered with the spear!”
Old Tang angrily snapped the wooden stick in half.
The spear blocking the outer alley entrance was a fake!
It was just an ordinary spear with the spearhead loosely attached!
A broken wooden stick wouldn’t be able to kill Li Luo with a single hit!
The spear on the inner side was likely the real one!
Ye Wangchuan had placed two spears at the entrance not for safety, but as a trap!!
Old Tang was about to pull the inner spear.
But, it was too late!
Whoosh——!
A spear whistled through the air!
