I can push my cultivation progress to the end

After dealing with Chi Daxiao, Li Hai lightly stepped on the ground and with a whoosh, leaped to the top of a building. Then, with a rumbling wind, he instantly shot towards the Zhou family mansion several miles away.

With his current realm and strength, he could often glide through the air for dozens or even hundreds of meters with a single step, making it as easy as breathing to run on walls and fly over eaves.

However, precisely because Li Hai's speed was too swift, the fierce wind he stirred up along the way was so strong that it even swept the debris and dust from the streets below into the sky, causing the people on the streets to shout in alarm.

But by the time they looked up at the sky, everything had returned to calm, as if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion.

In this short while, Li Hai had already crossed several miles and arrived at the location of the Zhou family mansion.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, under the horrified gaze of the Zhou family's gatekeepers, Li Hai descended from the sky, heavily landing on the road in front of the Zhou family mansion's entrance, and forcefully cracking the stone bricks into more than a dozen fissures.

These Zhou family guards were not fools. After witnessing Li Hai's dramatic entrance, they immediately bowed, flattered, and clasped their hands, saying:

"Hero, what… what brings you here?"

Seeing that these people were so sensible, Li Hai also smiled and said:

"That's right. Why risk your lives for a job? As for me, I'm here to find someone named Zhou Yugen. You should know him, right?"

The guards looked at each other and said, "Hero, Master Zhou Yugen is our Third Master. He's away on business all year round and doesn't live here."

"Oh, I missed him."

Li Hai wondered, "Then, does Zhou Xingye live here?"

Zhou Xingye, the son of Zhou Hu and the grandson of Guo Huaijin.

"Uh…"

The guards exchanged glances, hesitating. "Young Master Xingye… yesterday, the daughter of Liu the blacksmith in town got married. According to the rules, the Young Master went to be the master of ceremonies, and… he stayed overnight at the Liu blacksmith's house. He hasn't returned home yet today."

"Master of ceremonies?"

Li Hai suddenly recalled what Qiu Fangzheng had said, narrowed his eyes, and said faintly, "Is this Liu blacksmith's daughter very beautiful?"

To this, the guards shook their heads, all saying they didn't know.

"Beautiful! The Liu family's daughter is really damn beautiful, so great! I'm going again tonight, hahaha!" Suddenly, an extremely arrogant voice came from afar.

Li Hai raised a bushy eyebrow and immediately looked in the direction of the voice.

Then he saw, in the alley across the street a dozen yards away, a fat man dressed in a bright red jacket, looking like a pig who had become a spirit, sitting in an open palanquin, waving a paper fan, and swaying towards the Zhou family mansion with seven or eight guards attending him.

"Hero," a guard said, "This is Young Master Zhou Xingye."

"I can see that." Li Hai chuckled, and then strode towards the fat man.

Although Zhou Xingye was so fat that his eyes were only slits, he saw Li Hai walking towards him and about to bump into his palanquin, so he immediately raised his neck and shouted:

"Hey, you big oaf, are you blind? Turn aside and don't bump into my palanquin."

Upon hearing this, Li Hai immediately grinned and said, "Hehe, such a stinky mouth, I'll tear it apart."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flickered, crossing the distance of seven or eight yards to Zhou Xingye, pinching his fat face, forcibly dragging him down from the palanquin, and slamming him hard on the ground.

"Ouch! My face, my face, it hurts so much!"

Zhou Xingye collapsed on the ground, covering his bloodied face, which had been torn by Li Hai into the shape of a toad's mouth, wailing like a ghost, and said, "What are you all standing there like fools for? Beat him for me!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding stunned guards immediately drew their swords and took up clubs, shouting and yelling as they struck at Li Hai, who was standing next to Zhou Xingye.

But Li Hai only extended a finger, and then swiftly swept it around in an instant.

Swish—

Ding! Ding! Clang! Clang! Crack! Crack!

After a series of crisp sounds and dazzling sparks, the blades and clubs in the hands of these guards were all broken, the cuts as smooth as if they had been cut by a divine weapon.

This was the power of Li Hai's [Finger Claws Level 2]. To him, ordinary wrought iron and steel were definitely not stronger than waste paper.

Having personally witnessed this shocking scene, the guards wisely retreated several steps, no longer daring to attack Li Hai.

"You, you, you…"

"Uh?!" Zhou Xingye was stunned, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

The next second, Li Hai's smile disappeared, and he stomped down on Zhou Xingye's crotch.

Bang~

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!"

Accompanied by a muffled sound and a pig-like scream, Zhou Xingye was instantly turned into a eunuch by Li Hai.

"I'll kill you, I'll kill you! Father, help!"

The fat pig rolled on the ground in pain, yelling and screaming incessantly, attracting onlookers from the surrounding roads.

As for those guards, taking advantage of the crowd, they had all quietly slipped away, presumably never to return to the Zhou family mansion to work.

As for Li Hai, he went to the butcher's stall not far away to borrow a butcher's knife, and also took a hemp rope and an iron basin back.

"Come, come, come, watching the fun is watching the fun, but don't block the way."

While shouting, Li Hai pushed aside the crowd and walked to Zhou Xingye, who was still screaming and rolling on the ground, dragging him all the way into a small noodle shop.

"Here."

Casually throwing two pieces of gold to the shop owner, Li Hai said, "I bought this shop. If you want to watch, stay; if you don't want to watch, leave."

"This, this, this…" The noodle shop owner looked at the gold in his hand, his face filled with joy, shock, and suspicion, "You… what are you going to do?"

Li Hai faintly replied with two words: "Slaughtering pig."

After saying that, under the gaze of the noodle shop owner and the onlookers outside the shop, he swung the hemp rope in his hand, looped it over the beam on top, and suspended Zhou Xingye, who was still screaming and cursing, upside down like a pig.

"Quickly release me! You quickly release me!"

Zhou Xingye struggled and howled upside down, swinging back and forth, "You motherfucker! I'll have my father skin you alive!"

Clang clang clang~

Li Hai gently kicked the iron basin he had just taken from the butcher's shop under Zhou Xingye's fat head, then went to the back kitchen of the noodle shop to take out an apron, slowly and methodically tying it around his waist, then, holding the butcher's knife, began to size up Zhou Xingye.

Zhou Xingye clearly felt that something was wrong, so he asked in a panic:

"What are you going to do? I warn you not to mess around!"

Li Hai didn't respond to him, only said to himself:

"Do you know, I started slaughtering pigs when I was twelve years old. Tying pigs, slitting throats, singeing pig hair, skinning, bleeding, taking out internal organs… I'm proficient in everything.

I thought that after coming here, my skills would be useless, but until I saw you, saw many people like you…"

Li Hai walked to Zhou Xingye, slowly squatted down, patted his fat face with the knife, and grinned, "I suddenly feel that my skills will shine again."

After saying that, he slit Zhou Xingye's throat with a knife.

The gushing blood immediately poured down, falling into the iron basin below.

At this time, Li Hai also took out the What-Can-You-Do-To-Me Token from his pocket and threw it into the iron basin.
