"Li... Shidao!"

Tie Shi, the old man, immediately changed his complexion upon seeing the newcomer.

He hadn't even spared a glance at Li Jiuxun, who had reached out to stop his hidden weapon.

For compared to the immense threat posed by Li Shidao, that Li Jiuxun didn't amount to much.

At most, Li Jiuxun could only stop his hidden weapon, but if Li Shidao took action, he would lose his very life!

Common folks only know that Li Shidao and Li Shiquan vie for power, evenly matched, but they don't realize what truly makes Li Shidao fearsome is his potential!

At such a young age, to contend with the middle-aged overlord of the previous generation, Li Shiquan, his talent can only be described as terrifying.

And with each passing day, minute, and second, this potential would unfurl, growing stronger, increasingly formidable!

Given a few more years, Li Shiquan might not even qualify to be mentioned in the same breath as him.

This man... undoubtedly besides the Li Family Patriarch, he is the most formidable force in the Li Family!

Those who live long possess such discernment.

Having seen much, one becomes shrewder, more reserved.

And Tie Shi, the old man, was no exception.

He promptly retracted his hidden weapon and said with a friendly, beaming smile.

"So it's the Li Family's lad, don't misunderstand, I was merely playing around with that girl."

Just playing around...

The corners of the onlookers' mouths twitched slightly.

Who would believe such nonsense that's fit only to deceive a toddler?

If not for Yangshen Hall's lad protecting her, that Woman from the Li Family would have been long dead.

That throw of his hidden weapon was aimed with the intention to kill two birds with one stone!

Li Shidao did not speak, but Li Jiuxun at his side smiled and held the caught hidden weapon between two fingers, slowly crushing it with the palm of his hand.

Crackling sounds echoed!

When Li Jiuxun opened his hand again.

Clatter clatter.

Metallic powder fell from Li Jiuxun's hand.

The hidden weapon known as Tie Shi, fashioned from mysterious metal, was crushed into dust by Li Jiuxun's bare hands!

Tie Shi, the old man, instantly felt his face drain of color.

Mysterious metal is rare; his hidden weapons, being consumables that aren't easily recovered, naturally couldn't all be made from it.

However, the rumors weren't false.

He had three Tie Shi, forged with family resources and mysterious metal for having achieved merit, combined with his masterful craftsmanship, these three mysterious metal Tie Shi were tremendously powerful in his hands.

But... there were only three of them.

He wouldn't frivolously use such a lethal weapon unless necessary, and would have to consider whether they could be successfully retrieved; thus, while his mysterious metal Tie Shi were his trademark, they were also his ultimate move.

However, the other Tie Shi, though not made from mysterious metal, were also of extraordinary material and quality.

That Li Jiuxun could crush them barehanded... his strength should not be underestimated.

Not to mention beside him was the currently renowned, unfathomable Li Shidao.

There was no battle to be had here!

Tie Shi, the old man, immediately made an estimate in his heart.

Even before everything began, he already contemplated retreat.

Just then, Li Jiuxun leisurely spoke up.

"Lin Nanshuang, it's best you keep your mouth shut before my young master has spoken."

My young master?!

Tie Shi, the old man's face changed once again.

Had Li Jiuxun already been subdued by Li Shidao?? Moreover, not as an equal, but willing to serve as a lackey!

Tie Shi, the old man appeared similar in age to Li Jiuxun, but in reality, Li Jiuxun was from a younger generation that rose after Tie Shi gradually faded from the world.

Thus, while they had crossed paths, they hadn't clashed many times.

Even so, Tie Shi the old man had already felt the powerlessness of the waves behind driving on the waves before.

This man's potential would eventually crash him to the shore.

In fact, that was the case. As he gradually retired, Tianyuan Town's cusp of power was always guided by Li Jiuxun, until a new generation rose, pressing down these old ones, causing their gradual decline.

It can be said that both he and Li Jiuxun were once the favored children of a certain era, yet now, they were both half a step into the grave.

But while he was aging, Li Jiuxun seemed to be regaining his peak strength.

And now this once proud son of the heavens, a genius, was willing to serve... as a servant! Attending to Li Shidao's every need.

What kind of charm did Li Shidao possess? What unfathomable strength allowed him to tame this wild horse?

Step. Step. Step.

Just then, the focus of the entire venue, the attention of all present, the peerlessly graceful and enchanting man.

He had already walked in front of Fang Yu and Li Xunxue, shielding them behind him, and calmly gazed at Tie Shi, the old man in front.

"Old fool, you ought to lie down quietly in your grave and not bother me into personally pressing your head back into it!"

Overbearing, captivating, resolute!

Thump! Thump! Thump!!

Li Xunxue's heart raced uncontrollably as she looked at that broad back, feeling overwhelmed.

That man... that person from the rumors, undefeated, able to stand against Li Shiquan, the second most powerful in the Li Family, he's willing to stand up for me?!

Li Xunxue felt like she was in a dream.

Even during the days when she was imprisoned by her father, she gathered bits and pieces of information from her father's occasional remarks, learning about this prodigy.

After being released by her father to understand the situation of the Li Family more thoroughly, she secretly admired him.

Although she had not had much interaction with the opposite sex, there had always been a vague outline in her heart, and Li Shidao fit her image of perfection!

However, Li Xunxue knew what she was worth; she didn't deserve to, nor did she have the right to have any contact with the lofty Lord Shidao.

But she never expected... today, Lord Shidao, would, would actually stand up for her!
