"What are you considering?"
Yi Qianmo suppressed the hatred within him and asked calmly.
"You're just pretending. The young lady gave you a choice: either stay in this dungeon for the rest of your life, or... get out of here and don't pollute my Yu family's land."
Yu Xi said with disgust.
Hearing this, Yi Qianmo remembered Yu Wei's last words before she left. If he wanted to leave, he would never force her to stay, and would even have the servants escort her back to the Yi family.
Sure enough, Yu Dong beside him continued, "If you leave, we will personally escort you back, but... as soon as you step out of here, you will no longer be a son-in-law of the Yu family."
Yi Qianmo frowned after hearing this. He had endured for thirteen years, so his mind was naturally deep. Not to mention the sword pill he had just obtained, which contained the sixty-year cultivation memories of a great emperor.
This was equivalent to sixty years of human life, like living two lifetimes.
After a moment's reflection, he understood the mystery.
"If I were to step out of here now, my Yi family would be wiped out immediately!" Yi Qianmo's face was frosty.
Looking at the prisoner before them, the two guards were genuinely surprised, but they didn't take it seriously. After all, with his dantian destroyed, even the most intelligent person was still just a cripple.
Yu Dong sneered, "You're clever, but unfortunately, you were born in the wrong place. Word has spread throughout Qingyun City that your Yi family possesses sword techniques close to those of the immortals. If you leave, your entire family will be wiped out."
"But if you don't leave, you'll have to spend your entire lives in this dark dungeon, begging like dogs. But your Yi family can still rely on my Yu family's protection, and the major clans won't dare to take action against you openly."
He had barely finished speaking when Yu Xi, standing beside him, interjected, "Even if they don't dare to act openly, I believe the major clans will have many ways to make your Yi family's life unbearable. From what I hear... the young master of the Lei family has already gone to the Yi family to propose marriage, asking for your sister as a concubine!"
Yi Qianmo's eyes flashed with murderous intent upon hearing this. "So this was all planned out long ago. Even if I survive, I'll be left with a fate worse than death. What a cruel heart!"
Yu Wei not only wiped out all his clan members, but also set him up for a near certain death.
The news that the Yi family possessed the Great Yi Sword Technique must have been leaked by the Yu family. Even if the Yu family hadn't, the powerful forces that knew would still have taken action against the Yi family.
For the past thirteen years, the Yu family had strongly repelled other forces, preventing them from attacking the Yi family, so that Yu Wei could become an immortal. But things were different now.
The Yu family had gotten what they wanted. Even if Yi Qianmo stayed, they couldn't attack the major families like they had before!
No matter what he chose, the Yi family would be lost, and he could only die in despair here!
"What did you just say?"
The two guards' faces suddenly changed after hearing this.
"I said Yu Wei is a vicious b***h!" Yi Qianmo glared at them coldly.
"You little bastard, you're so bold! You really think you're the son-in-law of the Yu family?"
If just now, they thought they'd misheard, now they heard it clearly. Yu Dong suddenly punched Yi Qianmo in the face.
With his second-rate martial artist's strength, even an ordinary warrior, let alone an untrained mortal, would be killed. His punch was meant to kill.
But Yi Qianmo didn't dodge. He raised his hand, channeling his Qi into it, and met the blow with a punch.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound echoed through the air as two fists collided like two stones.
"Crack!"
Followed by the sound of bones cracking, a painful roar echoed from the dungeon, but it didn't come from Yi Qianmo.
With this blow, Yu Dong's right arm was directly shattered by the Qi released from Yi Qianmo's hand. He flew back, clutching his hand and nearly fainting from the pain.
Yu Xi, standing by, was stunned. If it weren't for Yu Dong's piercing wail, he might have thought he was dreaming.
He looked at Yi Qianmo, his eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment. Wasn't his dantian damaged? Wasn't he completely crippled?
Why was this happening!
"Unfortunately, I miscalculated. My Yi family's Great Yi Sword Technique isn't just close to the immortal realm, it's truly immortal. No, I'd even say it surpasses what you consider immortal!"
Yi Qianmo stared coldly at Yu Xi, releasing his aura.
"Post-...post-natal realm!" Yu Xi's eyes widened, an egg wide enough to fit inside.
Yu Dong, his face contorted in pain, his eyes filled with fear at the aura, confused as to what had happened!
While Yu Xi was shocked, he was still a loyal guard of the Yu family, a second-rate warrior. He didn't believe the young lady would lie to him. He even believed it was the effect of the immortal elixir she had taken.
"Hit!"
Yu Xi drew his sword, channeling his true energy into it. With a flash of energy, he struck Yi Qianmo with a powerful blow.
Let alone someone as useless as Yi Qianmo, even a second-rate warrior like him would never have been able to block a blade with his bare hands.
He was incredibly confident in this strike!
"Swish!"
A metallic sound echoed, and Yu Xi stared in horror at the figure before him. He stared at the scene before him. If he hadn't struck the blow himself, he'd have suspected he was dreaming.
Yi Qianmo had actually used two fingers to hold his fatal strike. No matter how hard he tried, the blade would have been lost in whichever fingers it caught.
"Crack!"
Yi Qianmo twisted his fingers, and with terrifying force, he instantly severed Yu Xi's wrist, which was holding the blade.
The blade flung from the air, swung around, and a slender hand grasped the hilt. Its owner stepped forward and swung the blade down.
"Crack!"
A head tumbled off, leaving a headless body standing in the ground, surging like a spring.
"Young lady, why did you lie to us!" Yu Dong, clutching his arm on the ground, watched the falling head and body, utterly terrified.
"Your young lady didn't lie to you, but... she miscalculated. Not killing me outright is the biggest mistake of my life!"
Yi Qianmo slowly approached him, knife in hand.
"Don't... don't kill me. Please, spare me. I'm willing to be your slave, just ask..."
"Did you have any mercy when you left me begging for food on the ground like a dog? When you were upset and beat me up, did you have any mercy? When you wanted me to die suddenly, did you have any mercy?"
Yi Qianmo stared at him coldly, recalling the thirteen years of bullying.
"You will suffer..."
Yu Dong seemed to know he was doomed, and he roared a vicious curse.
"Crack!"
Before he could utter the word "die," Yi Qianmo swung his knife, and the hatred in his eyes finally dissipated a little.
"What happened, Yu Guards... you..."
The commotion inside startled the outside world. Several Yu family guards rushed over. They stared at the man on the ground, then at Yi Qianmo, now wielding a knife like a demon, and were all stunned.
"Murder... murder..."
After a moment, the guards finally reacted and cried out in surprise. One of them immediately fled to report the situation.
"From today on, your good days are over!"
Yi Qianmo smiled coldly and chased after them, knife in hand. His hand slashed and chopped like a watermelon...
Half an hour later, Yi Qianmo left the Yu family's suburban villa and headed towards the distant city: "Qingyun City, here I come!"
A strong, fishy smell permeated the villa behind him, lingering for days.
Ten days later, when the Yu family's servants arrived to deliver supplies, they discovered that everyone in the villa had gone to hell.
