In recent days, to catch Li Qinghai leaving his residence, the brothers Ye Kaishan and Ye Chongshan have been restless, unable to eat or sleep. Their longing was akin to that for a beloved. Now, finally seeing the one they had been dreaming of, Li Qinghai, they wasted no time in following him.

However, to prevent Li Qinghai from rushing back to Green Bamboo Residence, they decided not to act immediately. Instead, they planned to wait until he was further away to make their move.

Li Qinghai leisurely made his way towards Falling Snow Residence, unaware of the two Qi Refining cultivators with ill intentions trailing behind him. The distance between Falling Snow Residence and Green Bamboo Residence was quite significant, requiring at least the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn if walking. Although Li Qinghai had learned Sword Flight, he chose not to use it. For a Qi Refining cultivator, the spiritual energy consumption of Sword Flight was immense. Moreover, a few days ago, someone had clearly tried to lure him out of Green Bamboo Residence. Now, Li Qinghai was uncertain if the lurking cultivator had left. Therefore, to be safe, he refrained from using Sword Flight, conserving his spiritual energy for unexpected dangers.

After walking for a while, Li Qinghai was a considerable distance from Green Bamboo Residence. Ye Kaishan knew that at such a distance, it would be nearly impossible for Li Qinghai to run back. Now was the perfect time to strike. The two brothers jumped down from the large tree behind him.

Ye Kaishan called out loudly, "Li Qinghai, long time no see!"

Li Qinghai turned around and glanced at them, "Oh, it's you." As he spoke, he tapped his Storage Bag, drawing the Spiritual Water Sword into his hand.

Ye Chongshan chuckled, "You seem to have some self-awareness, knowing we're after you, and even took out your Spiritual Sword in advance. But do you think it will help?"

The Sword Drawing Technique required charging, and Li Qinghai was more than willing to stall them. He sighed lightly, "Even if it's useless, I have to struggle a bit, don't I?"

"Li Qinghai, I remember you weren't afraid of death at all before. Why struggle now?" Ye Chongshan asked.

"Back then, my cultivation wasn't high, and I was young and reckless. Now that I've advanced a bit, I've realized how difficult cultivation is, and I cherish my life more," Li Qinghai replied slowly.

"Hahaha," Ye Chongshan laughed heartily, "It's a pity you realized this too late."

"It is a bit late. I regret meddling in things I shouldn't have. Do you think it's too late for me to admit my mistake now?" Li Qinghai asked with a sincere look of remorse.

Ye Chongshan's eyes twinkled as he suddenly thought of a way to humiliate Li Qinghai. "It's not too late. If you kneel and kowtow to me three times, I'll spare your life," Ye Chongshan said with a wide grin.

"Really? Let me... think about it," Li Qinghai pretended to hesitate.

Ye Kaishan noticed the absence of panic on Li Qinghai's face and frowned slightly, feeling a bad premonition. He sensed that Li Qinghai had something up his sleeve. To avoid any unforeseen complications, he urged, "Little brother, stop playing around, let's do it."

"Big brother, wait a bit. Li Qinghai is just a mere fifth-level Qi Refining cultivator; he can't stir up much trouble," Ye Chongshan clearly didn't want to miss this chance to humiliate Li Qinghai.

"Hurry up, my patience is limited."

Suddenly, Li Qinghai grinned, "I've realized that dignity is more important. If you want to kill me, go ahead. I won't kneel."

Ye Chongshan, seeing Li Qinghai's smile, felt as if he was being played. Enraged, he slapped his Storage Bag, and a Spiritual Sword appeared in his hand. "If you won't kneel, I'll make you kneel," he said, channeling spiritual energy into the sword and thrusting it towards Li Qinghai. The sword shimmered with a cold light under the spiritual energy.

Li Qinghai squinted slightly, silently chanting in his heart. Closer, just a bit closer!

Ye Kaishan sensed something was off about Li Qinghai's state and quickly shouted, "Little brother, stop, don't go any further!"

"Big brother, what are you afraid of? Your caution shouldn't be wasted on a fifth-level Qi Refining cultivator!" At this point, Ye Kaishan was only four or five meters away from Li Qinghai. This distance was enough!

Li Qinghai smiled, "Have you ever heard the saying, villains die from talking too much?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qinghai suddenly drew his sword!

Sword Drawing Technique!!

Clang!

The Spiritual Water Sword unsheathed, its tip aimed directly at Ye Chongshan. A dazzling sword light streaked like a meteor.

Splat!

The sword light pierced through Ye Chongshan's chest. His body froze, standing still. He looked down in disbelief, seeing a bloody hole in his chest, his clothes stained red with blood. Struggling, he lifted his head to look at Li Qinghai.

"You... how could you..."

Before he could finish, Ye Chongshan's body fell backward.

"Little brother!" Ye Kaishan cried out in anguish but didn't move closer. He watched Li Qinghai with angry, cautious eyes. The power of Li Qinghai's sword just now was enough to make even a seventh-level Qi Refining cultivator like him shiver. If it had been him instead of Ye Chongshan, the outcome would have been the same.

Li Qinghai observed Ye Kaishan, who remained still, and silently praised him. Indeed, cautious enough! Even the death of his brother couldn't provoke him.

Ye Kaishan glared at Li Qinghai, speaking coldly, "I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to have such a lethal move!"

Li Qinghai pondered slightly. Is Ye Kaishan trying to test if I have any strength left? Then I should do the opposite!

Feigning confidence, Li Qinghai declared loudly, "There's a lot you didn't expect. I could kill your brother, and I can kill you too." As he spoke, his hand holding the sword trembled slightly, which he then subtly hid behind his back. Though his hand was hidden, the sword tip was not, and it was visibly shaking.

Seeing these signs, Ye Kaishan laughed, "Li Qinghai, you've hidden well, but you've still shown a flaw!"

Li Qinghai feigned calmness, "Hmph. I don't know what you're talking about. If you dare, come and try. I guarantee you'll end up like your brother!"

Ye Kaishan shook his head, stepping towards Li Qinghai, "Li Qinghai, there's no need to act. No matter how strong you pretend to be, it can't hide the fact that you're weak right now."

"Arrogant! I still have a powerful trump card. If you dare to touch me, you won't even know how you died," Li Qinghai maintained his composure, though his tone carried a hint of panic, acting just right.

By now, Ye Kaishan had reached the spot where Ye Chongshan had fallen. He glanced at his brother's lifeless body, his killing intent rising, and continued towards Li Qinghai.

"Li Qinghai, you stabbed my brother once! I'll repay you with a hundred stabs!"

Ye Kaishan advanced step by step. Li Qinghai finally began to falter, retreating in fear.

"You... don't come any closer, don't push me..."

With a clatter, Li Qinghai's trembling hand dropped the Spiritual Sword to the ground. Ye Kaishan, who had been somewhat cautious, finally felt completely assured. He leaped towards Li Qinghai.

"Li Qinghai, you're full of flaws! You're about to die, how long will you keep acting?!"

Ye Kaishan drew closer and closer.

Three meters.

Two meters.

One meter.

At that moment, Li Qinghai's hand suddenly lifted, revealing a Talisman!

Fireball Talisman!!

He slapped the Fireball Talisman forward!

Ye Kaishan's eyes widened, unable to dodge in time.

Boom!

A fierce fireball struck Ye Kaishan, shattering the Spiritual Sword in his hand and sending his body flying backward.

Thud!

Ye Kaishan landed heavily on the ground, his body charred and twitching. Li Qinghai wasn't sure if Ye Kaishan was dead. As a transmigrator, Li Qinghai understood deeply that an enemy not thoroughly dead must be finished off!

He approached Ye Kaishan, taking a look. Ye Kaishan's eyes were wide open, his chest slightly heaving, clearly clinging to the last thread of life.

Li Qinghai shrugged innocently, "I told you not to push me. I really had a powerful trump card! Now look, you wasted my trump card, and you can't survive. Why did you have to push it?"

Ye Kaishan's chest heaved violently, his eyes bulging as if they would pop out, clearly infuriated by Li Qinghai's words. Struggling to breathe, Ye Kaishan finally couldn't catch his breath and died on the spot.
