Staring and guarding, in Li Che's view… it was better to kill.
The other party had joined the Spirit Child Sect, with the target being his daughter, Xixi. It was like a time bomb, and it was unknown when they would strike.
This was a foregone conclusion. Why wait for the other party to make a move… instead of taking the initiative?
Thinking of the Furious Spirit Child Statue placed outside the yard last night…
The other party's actions were undoubtedly a provocation to him as a father, as if glaring at him and loudly declaring: If you dare to stop me, I will kill you!
Is Sun Changbiao innocent?
In Li Che's heart, he was not innocent at all. When he set his sights on his daughter Xixi, joined the Spirit Child Sect, and intended to take someone else's child's life to seek a son for himself…
His hands were already stained with blood.
Pressing down his hat, Li Che exhaled a breath of hot air.
Then, his figure plunged into the wind and snow.
Xu's Wood Carving Shop's compound was very large, extremely large, covering a vast area, almost like a small city. Inside, the paths crisscrossed, and the courtyards stood tall, with high walls and narrow alleys between them.
Li Che hid in one of the alleys, took off his clothes, and put on a black cloak.
Then, he took out a wooden mask he had made, originally intending to bring it back to play with Xixi and give it to her as a toy.
But now… he would use it temporarily.
Since Xixi was born in the Year of the Ox, Li Che had carved an ox face mask, slightly cartoonish and cute.
Wearing the cute ox mask, Li Che felt as if the world was isolated from him, and every breath became light and free.
"Sun Changbiao…"
Li Che softly repeated the name.
In the next moment, he stimulated the Dao Fruit [Dragon Elephant Vajra].
Crack, crack, crack…
The sound of bones colliding echoed, like beans popping, and Li Che's figure under the black cloak began to move, with a tingling sensation spreading throughout his body. His body grew taller and stronger, and the muscles on his back hardened like iron, rolling and spreading like dragons!
Flesh and blood dragon and elephant, indestructible vajra, unparalleled in physical strength!
This was the characteristic of the Dao Fruit [Dragon Elephant Vajra]!
After Li Che chose to activate it, his figure completely changed, with the cultivation and blood qi suppressed within the Dao Fruit surging out and converging into his physical body!
And his physical body also changed, becoming stronger!
Li Che, originally about 1.75 meters tall, grew to about 1.9 meters after activating the Dragon Elephant Vajra. His flesh swelled and grew, becoming solid and muscular, exuding an extremely intimidating presence.
"Strength…" Li Che's eyes behind the cute ox mask flickered. He looked at his hands, which were like fans and contained terrifying power, and clenched them tightly, causing a gust of wind to roar!
"It's as if it contains the power of a dragon and an elephant…"
"Such a transformation, let's call it 'Vajra Transformation'."
Li Che murmured softly.
He felt as if he were a giant elephant in the jungle, possessing the terrifying strength to trample tigers and lions.
This was the change in physical strength brought about solely by the Dao Fruit…
Unparalleled in physical strength!
Li Che's face under the mask, swollen with flesh, cracked into a slight smile.
Then, his towering figure took a step, breaking through the wind and snow.
…
…
Sun Changbiao's courtyard was located on the west side of Xu's compound.
As the second son of the Sun steward, Sun Changbiao's courtyard after separating from his family was naturally very good, a three-winged courtyard with a spacious and bright yard.
Sun Changbiao, holding an umbrella, returned to the courtyard after work.
He exhaled, his expression becoming somewhat difficult.
"Chen Dabao is watching me… so fast, he found me so quickly."
Standing in the courtyard, Sun Changbiao's expression was uncertain. He had noticed that Old Chen was investigating him. Even if he tried his best to hide it, joining the Spirit Child Sect was something he couldn't hide.
After all, he had personally gone to the Spirit Child Sect's altar to offer incense.
"Never mind, if he watches me, then let him watch. If I don't make a move, Chen Dabao won't dare to kill me… without evidence, he won't make a move."
"What I need to do is just pass on information and wait for an opportunity… a spirit infant! Once I deliver it to the altar, my son's wish will surely come true!"
Sun Changbiao desperately wanted a son.
No, it should be said that he and his wife both desperately wanted a son.
Suddenly, Sun Changbiao's thoughts were interrupted.
"Dad… Dad, it's time to eat."
A timid voice came from the courtyard.
Sun Changbiao looked over and saw his eldest daughter leading three younger daughters, timidly carrying the dishes, clearly just finishing cooking and coming out of the kitchen.
"Alright."
Sun Changbiao said indifferently.
Then, he put away his umbrella, shook off the snow from it, dusted off his long robe, and stepped into the warm inner room.
The four daughters brought the steaming hot dishes to the dining table, and the eldest daughter gently took the hands of her three younger sisters, pursing her lips, and left the warm inner room, heading to the kitchen to eat.
At the dining table, Sun Changbiao and his wife, Lady Liu, began to enjoy their meal.
"Husband, how is that matter going?"
"The Deputy Incense Master is urging us… Master Li's child is a one-in-a-hundred spirit infant. If we can deliver him to the sect, the Dharma Master will surely grant us a son!"
Lady Liu caressed her slightly protruding belly, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Sun Changbiao frowned: "Don't rush, I have it under control…"
What does a woman know?
Chen Dabao is not someone to offend. This guy is powerful, and many of the high-ranking officials in the inner city of the Xu family are trying to win his favor!
Old Chen's affection for Li Che's daughter, he had seen it all. If he angered Old Chen, he might suffer a severe beating, and if things went badly, he might even lose his life.
"Eat."
Sun Changbiao picked up a piece of stir-fried meat with his chopsticks, and his frown deepened: "Why did the brat put so much salt? Does she want to kill her father?"
Outside the room.
The tall girl leading her sisters out of the room pursed her lips, seemingly hearing the scolding from inside, her face turning pale. She led her sisters and hurriedly walked towards the kitchen.
It was too cold outside. In the kitchen, there was the warmth of the firewood, making it more comfortable.
After the girls left.
A towering, mountain-like figure wearing a hat and mask appeared silently on the corridor, not a single snowflake touching his body.
Watching the girls enter the kitchen.
The eyes behind the cute ox mask were cold and empty.
…
…
"Knock, knock, knock—"
Sun Changbiao, drinking a cup of warm sweet wine and picking up a piece of stir-fried meat, was eating with oil dripping from his mouth, feeling very content.
Suddenly, he heard a knocking sound, and his contented eyes immediately frowned.
"Brat, I told you not to make noise during meals. Did you not understand?"
His wife, seeing her husband frown, quickly slapped down the chopsticks and scolded.
Sun Changbiao raised his hand to stop his wife's anger: "You're pregnant, don't get angry. Take care of our son."
After saying that, Sun Changbiao stood up, casually taking down the vine whip hanging on the wall of the inner room, picking at the meat stuck in his teeth, and swinging the whip.
However, just as he reached the door…
"Bang—"
A deafening explosion, accompanied by flying wood chips, and the door was suddenly kicked open!
Cold wind and snow rushed in.
A massive leg, like a divine whip, suddenly lashed out!
It kicked Sun Changbiao in the abdomen, and the terrifying force erupted like a cannon, making his eyes almost pop out. His body curled up like a shrimp, and he was thrown onto the dining table, smashing all the dishes to pieces.
"Pfft…"
Sun Changbiao spat out a mist of blood, his abdomen feeling as if it had been kicked to pieces. His whole body was numb, and he struggled to lift his head.
"Who… who… who are you?"
His first thought was that Chen Dabao had made a move.
But when he saw the newcomer, the imposing figure like a mountain, he was stunned.
It wasn't Chen Dabao!
How could the frail old man Chen Dabao be so powerful and imposing?!
Then… who could it be?!
Who did he offend?!
