Chapter 72: Blade of Death! Consumed Two Times of Lifespan!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
With the appearance of the giant python, the whole area was instantly enveloped in a chilling darkness!
Cold!
That was the only feeling!
Everyone saw the huge python charging straight at Li Yidao!
Its gaping mouth carried a foul stench, making Li Yidao feel like he was facing the Grim Reaper himself! “Be careful!”
“Get out of the way quickly!”
As the giant python rushed out, Huangpu Qi and Huangpu Shengyun, the old and young, both exclaimed in alarm!
Even the several bodyguards beside them rushed forward at the same time!
Each person pulled out a baton from behind!
Clearly, they were just ordinary bodyguards and didn’t have more professional weapons.
But from their movements, they were clearly not ordinary bodyguards!
Facing such a giant python and still daring to rush up first, it was definitely not that simple.
However…
Just when everyone thought that Li Yidao’s situation was dire.
They saw Li Yidao suddenly close his eyes!
Then, in less than a second, he abruptly opened his eyes!
And as Li Yidao opened his eyes, they saw the python in front of them instantly turn into a black mist!
It was dispersing with the wind!
“Hmph!” Li Yidao snorted coldly.
If he didn’t have a special ability, this time he might have been in trouble!
His eyes could see through certain things.
But this ability was not very obvious or specific.
It only worked in some special situations, such as now!
When the python approached, he realized that it was actually a manifestation of a sinister aura!
Or in other words, the people present were deceived by a special situation.
It was like a peculiar illusion.
The formation of this illusion was mystical and eerie, and couldn’t be explained through normal means.
Of course.
Li Yidao, who possessed the system, could accept such weird phenomena.
“Mr. Li… Are you okay?” Huangpu Shengyun ran over, and two bodyguards stood beside him with vigilance.
“I’m fine.’
Li Yidao’s expression was grave.
Only he knew how dangerous it was just now!
If it weren’t for some special means he had allowed him to see through everything, then the current result would be different…
“Indeed… back then, your father also had such abilities, and now I can leave with peace of mind.”
Huangpu Qi appeared at some point, his expression carrying a hint of relief, as if he had fulfilled his final wish.
At this moment, Huangpu Shengyun had a confused look on his face and hurriedly went to his grandfather’s side.
“Grandpa, what are you saying? Your health is so robust, the doctors said you have at least thirty more years to live.”
But Huangpu Qi just shook his head slightly and remained silent.
“Can we move the grave now? Let’s end it as soon as possible and put this karma to rest,” Huangpu Qi thought Li Yidao had already resolved the problem.
However…
At this moment, Li Yidao shook his head slightly and looked coldly at the small mound behind the stone tablet!
“Huangpu Uncle, let’s not rush to move the grave. We still have some things to take care of.
“Hmm?” Huangpu Qi was also puzzled. “What do you mean?”
“The grave indeed had some issues as you mentioned, but just as my father instructed you back then, all the karma was directed at you, and it wouldn’t affect others.
“But now… I think the problem might not be limited to you alone in the family.” Li Yidao had already seen through some things, so he asked with this doubt.
Hearing Li Yidao’s words, Huangpu Qi was taken aback. Then his expression gradually became serious!
“You mean someone tampered with it?”
He knew very well about their ancestral grave. If someone were to meddle with it, the potential consequences would be significant!
Li Yidao nodded gently. “It has been quite some time, at least a year.” At this moment, Huangpu Qi’s eyes were filled with shock!
“No wonder! No wonder! I thought there might have been some deviations from what your father said back then!”
“But I never expected that someone actually tampered with it! ”
“To be honest, Shengyun’s father suddenly fell into a coma a year ago and is still lying in the hospital, never waking up.”
“We visited all the major hospitals, but…”
As Huangpu Qi spoke, his eyes were filled with sorrow.
He didn’t have much time left, and his son encountered such a catastrophe!
Fortunately, his grandson was an outstanding individual!
Otherwise…
He might truly regret it.
“Nephew Yidao, I don’t know about this matter. You…”
Seeing Huangpu Qi’s hopeful eyes, Li Yidao nodded gently.
Normally, he might not have bothered with this matter!
But now!
Hmph!
He originally intended to help the Huangpu family move the grave according to the agreement and be done with it!
But he never expected that someone planned to attack him.
That was a fatal blow just now!
Luckily he had special abilities.
For any ordinary person, or even a gentleman without any special powers, they would probably have gone insane by now, just like the previous two.
Li Yidao walked up to the stone tablet.
Then he picked up an iron shovel that had already been prepared.
With just three strikes, he dug out a wooden object from the spot he had seen earlier!
It was a snake-shaped ornament!
Everyone was stunned at this sight!
Someone really tampered with it!
Even those who didn’t understand anything could tell that something was abnormal!
A gigantic python had appeared just now and then disappeared in an instant!
And now!
Li Yidao had dug out such an item from this spot.
Who could believe there was no connection between these incidents?
“What is this!” Huangpu Shengyun, who followed, had a bewildered look on his face.
And Huangpu Qi’s eyes were filled with even more anger!
After all, he knew more about what was going on.
Li Yidao didn’t answer him and stood dazed for a moment!
Because at this moment, Li Yidao actually received a prompt from the system!
[Ding! Detected that the requirements for using the Blade of Death are met, but the thing involved is an intermediate converter, using the Blade of Death will require the consumption of two times of the lifespan!]
So he could use the Blade of Death without even targeting anyone, as long as the user was connected with the item he or she used.
Of course, there was a price to pay—two times of the lifespan!
But that was still terrifying!
It seemed that the system had judged that this person posed a threat to his life!
The conditions for using the Blade of Death were as strict as those for the Hand of God!
There were two main requirements, and either of them must be met.
One was that the other person was a wicked and evil villain, the kind even the King of Hell wouldn’t want to let live a minute longer.
The other was that the other person had posed a mortal threat to Li Yidao!
Only under these two conditions could it be used!
And now!
It was evident!
The system had determined that the previous attack posed a threat to Li Yidao’s life!
That was probably why he got this notification!
Li Yidao gritted his teeth, and his eyes turned cold as he directly chose to use the skill!
“If others don’t provoke me, I won’t provoke them! If others provoke me, I’ll repay them a hundredfold!” He thought angrily..
