Chapter 58 When I grow up, I will definitely kill you!
"what……"
"Li Xiuyuan, you...you can't, you can't do this! My...my inner energy, ah!"
Previously, Shen Lin was arrogant and thought he could use his supposedly powerful Frost True Qi to directly burst Li Xiuyuan's dantian meridians, leaving him severely injured and crippled.
But the imagination is beautiful, while the reality is quite harsh.
Li Xiuyuan not only absorbed most of the icy true energy in his body, but now he was going to completely drain all of his internal energy!
At this point, Li Xiuyuan gave Shen Lin absolutely no chance.
Although Li Xiuyuan could only absorb and refine a small portion of the true energy of a fifth-rank martial artist and make it his own, he was still able to absorb all of it.
Even so, Li Xiuyuan sensed that the pure, icy true energy within his body was rapidly transforming into his own true energy under the influence of the Absorption Technique and the Yi Jin Jing.
The frost around him and the ice beneath his feet shattered the moment Li Xiuyuan slowly released his grip on Shen Lin's head.
A chilling aura, carrying shards of ice, was swept up by a sudden hurricane before slowly subsiding.
Shen Lin collapsed to the ground, feeling utterly powerless. The shattered ice shards hitting his body and face caused him excruciating pain.
But he wasn't paying attention to any of that at the moment.
Because he already knew that he had become a cripple, with no cultivation whatsoever.
He trembled as he looked up at the young man in a long black robe standing before him, gritting his teeth and his eyes filled with resentment, and said:
"Li Xiuyuan, how could you be so strong? Even Shangguan Xiuhong and Shangguan Fuyuan back then couldn't withstand my icy aura. How could you... cough cough..."
As Shen Lin spoke, he suddenly coughed violently. His body was enveloped in shattered ice and frost, and without the protection of his true energy, he felt an icy chill.
"Huh? You used your Frost Qi to fight them back then?"
Hearing Shen Lin's words, Li Xiuyuan became somewhat interested.
"Exactly... Not only that, both of them were severely injured by my Frost Qi back then, but how could you withstand my Frost Qi? What kind of monster are you?"
As he spoke, Shen Lin slowly got up, stumbling and almost losing his balance.
Li Xiuyuan heard this.
With his maxed-out Absorption Technique, he immediately understood why Shen Lin's Frosty True Qi had been able to injure his mother and Shangguan Fuyuan of the Shangguan family back then.
That's because they're all beginners.
Even at the beginner stage of the Absorption Technique, or even after reaching a minor level of mastery, it is impossible to quickly dissolve the icy true energy.
Moreover, once the icy true energy is absorbed into the body, if it cannot be refined, it will remain inside the body, causing excruciating pain from the icy chill.
However, these problems simply do not exist for Li Xiuyuan, who has mastered the max-level Absorption Technique.
In the short time that followed, Li Xiuyuan had completely refined the icy true energy he had just absorbed into his own true energy.
Even so, the meridians were not filled, and the dantian was completely empty.
However, the internal energy has already transformed into the thickness of an adult's arm, circulating throughout the body along the Yi Jin Jing's circulation path.
The previous physical damage has been fully recovered.
"Father!"
Just as Li Xiuyuan was preparing to stride forward to find something useful from the Shen family.
A little girl, about seven or eight years old, rushed out from the inner courtyard, blocking Shen Lin's way, and glared fiercely at Li Xiuyuan.
Just then, another young woman rushed out of the inner courtyard in a panic.
"Hmm? Who are you?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at the little girl in front of him whose eyebrows and eyes resembled Shen Lin's and asked.
"My name is Shen Chunyu, and I am a young lady from the Shen family. You are a terrible person who killed so many people in our family. When I grow up, I will never let you get away with this..."
Before the little girl could finish speaking, the beautiful woman next to her covered her mouth.
"Heh... You won't let me off the hook when I grow up, not bad, very ambitious. But now that I'm standing here, little brat, do you think you can still live?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan immediately reached out and grabbed at the air.
The little girl in the woman's arms was pulled by an unseen force and was in Li Xiuyuan's hands in the blink of an eye.
"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu... Please, please let Xiaoyu go, she's just a child."
The beautiful woman immediately knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.
The sudden turn of events caused Shen Lin's eyes to blaze with boundless rage as he stared intently at Li Xiuyuan.
"Li Xiuyuan, you shouldn't have let your wife and children suffer. Do you have any sense of honor left in the martial world? You..."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan smiled calmly.
"Patriarch Shen, are you sure you're telling the truth about what you're saying?"
The code of honor among the martial arts world? If there is such a thing as the code of honor among the martial arts world, then I, Li Xiuyuan, am now the young master of the Shangguan family. Never mind... there's no point in talking about this.
You want me to spare your concubine and daughter?
Li Xiuyuan already knew the identities of the beautiful woman and little girl who suddenly rushed out from Shen Changlong.
So it's not surprising.
However, the little girl's words reminded him that it was not good for someone so young to have such lofty ambitions.
"What do you want? You've drained all my power, I'm a cripple now. Kill me if you want, just let them go, and I'll give you my life!"
"Father, no."
"You wicked person! If you dare to harm my parents, I'll kill you when I grow up!"
The little girl, whose hand was being held by Li Xiuyuan, was now struggling frantically, even pinching the back of Li Xiuyuan's hand hard, her little eyes looking at Li Xiuyuan with resentment.
"Heh...is that so?"
"No, no, Li Xiuyuan! You've almost wiped out the Shen family of Yunzhou City today! Just release them, mother and daughter. What else do you want? Just tell me, and I'll give you whatever I can without hesitation!"
Upon hearing Li Xiuyuan's cold tone, Shen Lin trembled and immediately spoke up.
"Since that's the case, and I've already killed quite a few people today, if Patriarch Shen hand over the cultivation techniques you practice, as well as the cultivation techniques stored by the Shen family, I might spare your lives!"
"A cultivation technique? Well..."
Shen Lin immediately spoke up, after all, the Frostbite Technique was a family technique bestowed by the main family.
"You hesitated!"
Shen Lin trembled and was about to speak when he saw Li Xiuyuan kick the beautiful woman kneeling in front of him.
"Ah... Pfft!"
With a scream, the beautiful woman was sent flying far away, her fate unknown.
"mother……"
Li Xiuyuan looked coldly at Shen Lin at that moment.
"You have one more chance!"
"I...please don't hurt Xiaoyu, I'll go get it, I'll go get it right away!"
As he spoke, Shen Lin quickly turned and headed towards the inner courtyard.
Standing there, Li Xiuyuan glanced at Shen Changlong, who was huddled up in a ball not far away.
"You're going too..."
"Yes, Young Master Xiuyuan, I'll go right away!"
Shen Changlong dared not utter a single word of dissent, for the courtyard was filled with corpses and the guards and Shen family members who had been drained of their life force and rendered useless, right before his eyes.
He immediately nodded, then turned around and followed Shen Lin in a blur!
