Li Tiannan finally agreed to make a move against Li Tiance.
In fact, he himself didn't know why he made such a decision, as if it was a spur-of-the-moment choice.
Li Tiannan had another characteristic.
That was, once he made a decision, he would not change it casually and would thoroughly implement it.
Chen Jinzhao said, "Then let's strike."
Li Tiannan understood immediately, and before Chen Jinzhao finished speaking, he delivered a palm strike, hitting Chen Jinzhao's shoulder!
He deliberately avoided the heart, intending only to send Chen Jinzhao flying!
As expected.
After suffering a heavy blow, Chen Jinzhao's body flew backward, landing less than five meters away from Li Tiance.
Li Tiance heard the commotion behind him, turned around abruptly, and saw Chen Jinzhao already appearing not far from him.
How did he get here?
After landing, Chen Jinzhao quickly got up and rushed directly towards Li Tiance and the other person.
Li Tiance was greatly alarmed and quickly shouted at Li Tiannan, "Tinnan, quickly stop Chen Jinzhao, he wants to kill us!"
Li Tiannan reacted.
However, Chen Jinzhao was only three to four meters away from Li Tiance, and it would take some time for Li Tiannan to reach them.
The next moment.
Chen Jinzhao appeared before Li Tiance as if descending from the heavens.
Li Buyan sensed an ominous aura and immediately shouted at Chen Jinzhao, "Stop! If you dare to harm Tiance, I will kill everyone around you!"
"An old fossil who relies on his age, I'll kill you after I kill Li Tiance." Chen Jinzhao had long disliked Li Buyan and truly wished to kill the old man if given the chance.
Hum!
The Tai Sui in Chen Jinzhao's hand trembled continuously, emitting a buzzing sound.
As if cheering!
Chen Jinzhao seemed to feel the bloodlust of the Tai Sui, and with a swift movement, he brought down the blade!
A white flash streaked across Li Tiance's eyes.
Puff—
Li Tiance's right arm was severed cleanly!
At this moment.
The three members of the Li family were stunned into a blank.
As the arm fell, Chen Jinzhao said nothing more and crushed the severed limb with a kick.
In this way.
He completely dashed Li Tiance's hope of reattaching his arm.
Li Tiance's face turned pale, his head buzzed, and he stood rooted to the spot, not knowing what to do.
Li Buyan roared in anger, "You scoundrel, you deserve to die!"
Chen Jinzhao wasted no words and struck Li Buyan's chest with a palm, sending him flying backward, blood seeping from his nose and mouth. It was highly probable that this palm strike had nearly killed Li Buyan; Chen Jinzhao had simply not delivered a killing blow.
Seeing Chen Jinzhao attack Li Buyan, Li Tiannan immediately appeared beside Chen Jinzhao to stop him from delivering a fatal blow.
Li Tiannan was furious now.
Chen Jinzhao had previously agreed to only deal with Li Tiannan, not to harm the elder.
Chen Jinzhao had broken their promise.
"Big brother, are you alright?" Li Tiannan looked at Li Tiance.
How could Li Tiance be alright?
Hearing Li Tiannan's concern, Li Tiance clutched his severed arm and said in pain, "I, I'm in terrible pain now. I don't know if I can reattach my arm. Tinnan, you must help me kill Chen Jinzhao, I want to make him wish he were dead!"
Li Tiance's chest was filled with rage.
His bright future might have been cut short by Chen Jinzhao's blade!
A person with a disability could never become the supreme ruler!
This was a consensus among everyone!
Li Tiannan nodded, "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely defeat Chen Jinzhao and bring him before you to deal with as you please!"
As he said this, Li Tiannan's eyes flickered.
In the past, he would never have lied, so he would have appeared uncomfortable when lying.
Furthermore, he could not let Chen Jinzhao live. Li Tiannan now only wanted to kill Chen Jinzhao as quickly as possible, for only the dead could keep their secrets.
He turned to face Chen Jinzhao and growled, "Chen Jinzhao, I am your opponent. Today, I will kill you here!"
Chen Jinzhao's gaze passed over Li Tiannan and settled on Li Tiance.
Li Tiance sensed Chen Jinzhao's stare and met his gaze intently. The next moment, a smile that made Li Tiance's scalp tingle appeared on Chen Jinzhao's lips. Although this triumphant, sinister smile was fleeting, it left a deep impression on Li Tiance.
In an instant.
He seemed to understand something.
His younger brother might have had such intentions, otherwise why would Chen Jinzhao have been allowed to remain near him?
All signs pointed to Li Tiannan and Chen Jinzhao colluding.
This made Li Tiance even more furious.
If that were the case, Li Tiannan would be too wicked and heartless to attack his own elder brother.
Li Tiance had no time to think further.
He hurriedly ordered someone to help him and Li Buyan leave the backyard, fearing that if they lingered, they might meet a tragic end.
After leaving the backyard.
Li Tiance instructed his subordinates to double the guards surrounding the backyard, not allowing even a single living fly to escape!
This subordinate was Li Tiance's confidant, named Lou Yuesheng.
Lou Yuesheng, sensing a hidden meaning in Li Tiance's words, his expression changed drastically. He looked around and then lowered his voice, asking if Li Tiance had given the wrong order.
"Cang Long is still inside," Lou Yuesheng reminded him.
Li Tiannan, clutching his severed arm, said grimly, "Li Tiannan has a rebellious streak and has likely secretly colluded with Chen Jinzhao. Now that I have lost an arm, you should understand who benefits most from this outcome."
"What?!"
"This, this was his doing?" Lou Yuesheng looked horrified.
In everyone's impression.
Li Tiannan had always been respectful to Li Tiance, without any ulterior motives.
And now...
Li Tiance's face grew paler, "Immediately carry out my orders, and ensure there are no mistakes, do you understand?"
Lou Yuesheng nodded heavily.
"Now, you are the only person I can trust," Li Tiance sighed.
Lou Yuesheng worried about Li Tiance's injury, but Li Tiance gritted his teeth and said, "Those two damn things conspired against me. However, they probably forgot that the Divine Kingdom Research Institute was not completely destroyed. The Li family had gathered quite a few talents from there at the time. Those individuals can create the most advanced mechanical arms for me, which, if adapted, will be no different from normal."
"Then I can rest assured," Lou Yuesheng said, relieved.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Li. I will definitely complete the task you've assigned me. You should go and recover from your injuries."
Li Tiance grunted and, led by medical personnel, hastily departed.
Only upon entering the medical room in the Li family compound did Li Tiance's expression finally turn completely cold. He murmured to himself, "Li Tiannan, I originally wanted to give you a chance. If you handed over your power, I would have let you live out your days in the Li family. I never expected you to make the first move!"
Li Tiance's biggest misjudgment was Li Tiannan.
He had always firmly believed that Chen Jinzhao could not have persuaded Li Tiannan with mere words, which could only mean that Li Tiannan had considered such a path before.
He might even have been planning for it!
Thinking of this, Li Tiance's anger intensified.
He had to kill Li Tiannan, lest he grow further! As for Lou Yuesheng, who had helped him, he also had to be eliminated.
A king could not have any dark side.
Otherwise, when Li Tiance eventually reached the pinnacle, Lou Yuesheng might use these matters to threaten him, which would bring Li Tiance great trouble.
"Lou Yuesheng, I apologize."
