Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 751 - Defending the Shortcomings 21st

Chapter 751: Chapter 751: Defending the Shortcomings [21st Update] Chapter 751: Chapter 751: Defending the Shortcomings [21st Update] Li Pengcheng felt annoyed in his heart. This person was really pushing him too far, but he still forcefully suppressed the rage within him because he understood that once he initiated an attack, the other party would have justification to teach him a lesson.

In a situation where his strength was obviously inferior to the other’s, initiating an attack would be an utterly masochistic and foolish act.

“Move aside.” Li Pengcheng’s voice was raised.

The corner of Li Chong’s lips curled into a cold smirk as his eyes, filled with a sharp glint, looked at Li Pengcheng. “It seems you don’t quite understand the words I say.”

The atmosphere was tense, filled with the smell of gunpowder. Everyone’s eyes were wide open, afraid to miss the moment they would come to blows.

At this time, Li Xiaoyao had already arrived at the secret realm. The Li Family’s secret realm was underground, with ancient but sturdy architecture, each stone bearing the marks of time.

The gravity training ground did not have much appeal for Li Xiaoyao; his target was the mirror training ground.

...

Li Xiaoyao’s cultivation level had increased too quickly. Although each step was solid, he still felt that his control over his cultivation level was somewhat lacking.

Even though he was at the first rank of the Spirit Condensation Realm, the real strength he could exert was perhaps less than seventy percent.

He hoped the mirror training ground wouldn’t disappoint him.

“Hm?” At the entrance to the mirror training ground, many people had gathered, as if something had happened.

Li Xiaoyao had no interest in watching the commotion and walked straight ahead, but he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

“Peng Cheng?” Frowning slightly, his consciousness spread out in an instant. Under its cover, Li Xiaoyao could clearly see the bruising on Li Pengcheng’s face and his torn clothes.

Rage rose almost instantly from his chest, and a terrifying aura emanated from his body, immediately drawing the attention of many clan members.

“What a terrifying aura!”

“Who is that?”

“Don’t know him.”

“My God, isn’t that Li Xiaoyao!”

“Li Xiaoyao? The genius from the Xuan Country Li Family with the Ninth Grade bloodline?”

“That’s him.”

“I heard Li Pengcheng is Li Xiaoyao’s younger half-brother. Now there’s going to be a show.”

Before many had a chance to react, a figure had already passed through the crowd and appeared beside Li Pengcheng.

Li Chong noticed Li Xiaoyao immediately, curiously sizing up this so-called genius from the Xuan Country Li Family.

“Are you Li Xiaoyao?” Li Chong found that he was unable to see through Li Xiaoyao’s cultivation level and muttered to himself about deception.

However, Li Xiaoyao did not answer. His gaze was as dark as still water, his killing intent almost tangible.

“Do you know that he’s my brother?” Li Xiaoyao enunciated every word. With each word spoken, his aura climbed another notch. When the last word was uttered, the aura of the first rank of the Spirit Condensation Realm was almost completely unleashed. Those clan members standing closer were forced to take several steps back by this aura, their faces pale and their eyes filled with fear.

“Too terrifying!”

“That aura, it must be at least at the eighth rank of the Golden Core Realm!”

Li Chong was shocked as well. He had heard of Li Xiaoyao, but his understanding of him was limited to the fact that he was Ninth Grade during the bloodline retest, nothing more.

At this moment, as Li Xiaoyao deliberately released his aura, this breath that even he felt shivering, made him somewhat annoyed.

Why could such a genius emerge from a mere branch of an ancient sect?

The Ancient Li Family is the true heritage, Li Family of Xuan Country, should submit and learn to respect the Ancient Li Family.

This shift in status ignited a hint of competitive spirit in Li Chong’s heart.

“And what of your brother? If he beat my men, he should be taught a lesson to understand who truly holds the power in the Ancient Li Family,” Li Chong said, his tone yielding not an inch.

These words cast an even darker shadow over Li Xiaoyao’s already gloomy expression.

He had no fondness for Li Pengcheng, but that didn’t mean others could bully him at will.

Outside the home, they were brothers. Bullying Li Pengcheng was bullying him.

Moreover, he had promised his father to never let Li Pengcheng be humiliated when away from home.

“You think that by invoking the Ancient Li Family you can pressure me?” Li Xiaoyao said disdainfully, his gaze electric, forcing Li Chong to shy away from his piercing stare.

“Only trash need to flaunt their family’s influence to strut around. In my eyes, you’re that trash.”

Li Chong erupted in anger, “How dare you, insolent fool! Would you dare to insult the Li Family?”

“Insult the Li Family? Don’t flatter yourself. Trash like you isn’t worthy to represent the Li Family,” Li Xiaoyao retorted, twisting his wrist. “Today, I’ll show you that the members of the Li Family of Xuan Country are not to be insulted by just any piece of trash.”

No sooner had he spoken, Li Xiaoyao’s hand shot out like lightning. The gathered clan members were shocked, having not expected Li Xiaoyao to be so fierce as to strike then and there.

“Bastard, do you really think you can harm me?” Li Chong fumed, his pride on the line in front of so many clan members. If he showed weakness now, it would undoubtedly invite ridicule from the entire Li Family.

He punched out, intending to blast Li Xiaoyao’s approaching palm away, but to his despair, he found that no matter how fast he was or how fierce his attack, Li Xiaoyao’s palm seemed inescapable, reaching for his throat.

“Swipe!”

Li Xiaoyao slipped past his punch, seizing Li Chong’s throat with pinpoint accuracy and effortlessly lifting him off the ground. At the same time, a powerful surge of Spiritual Power flowed from his palm, swiftly sealing all of Li Chong’s meridians.

Li Chong felt as though he had lost control over his body, his neck caught in a vice-like grip, breathing difficult, his mind spinning.

“Wow!”

An uproar of astonishment erupted. With just one move, Li Xiaoyao had overpowered Li Chong of the Seventh Rank Golden Core Realm.

Even more so, Li Chong had not been able to muster even a trace of resistance, completely controlled like a puppet, powerless to fight back.

This stark disparity in strength gave everyone a surreal feeling.

Li Chong, ranked eleventh on the list of strong contenders and qualified to break into the top ten — could he really not even withstand a single move from Li Xiaoyao?

Since Li Xiaoyao’s arrival, Li Pengcheng had been silent, watching the furious Li Xiaoyao defeat Li Chong, feeling an indescribable complexity within him.

Was this standing up for him?

But why?Was it simply because they were both from the Li Family of Xuan Country? Or was it… that their brotherly bond was not so thin after all?

Li Pengcheng didn’t want to think too much about it. He had set traps to assassinate Li Xiaoyao in the Human Realm. The more he thought about it, the more a sense of guilt and shame welled up inside him, unbidden.

“You should be thankful that you’re of the Li Family, thankful that this is the Li Home. Otherwise, you would be dead!” Li Xiaoyao’s words sent shivers down everyone’s spines and filled Li Chong with unprecedented fear.

“Stop!”

A cool female voice suddenly rang out from not too far away.
