Chapter 16: Wrathful Vajra, You Are Not Innocent

Staring, on guard, in Li Che's view…… it would be better to kill.

The other party has joined the Spirit Infant Sect, and their target is his daughter Xixi—equivalent to a time bomb that could go off at any moment.

This is a foregone conclusion, so why wait for them to strike…… instead of taking the initiative?

Recalling the Wrathful-Eyed Spirit Infant Statue placed outside the courtyard last night……

Their action is undoubtedly a provocation against him as a father, as if glaring at him angrily and shouting: 'If you dare to stop us, we will kill you!'

Is Sun Changbiao innocent?

In Li Che's heart, he is not innocent at all; when he calculated his moves against his daughter Xixi, joined the Spirit Infant Sect, intending to take another child's life to pray for his own son……

His hands were already stained with blood.

He pressed down his straw hat, and Li Che exhaled a mouthful of hot air from his throat.

Then, his figure plunged into the wind and snow.

The courtyard of Xu Ji Woodcarving Shop is huge, extremely huge, covering a vast area, resembling a small town; inside, lanes crisscross, courtyards stand in rows, and between the towering high walls, each occupies the gaps of the alleys.

Li Che hid in an alley, took off his clothes, and draped himself in a black coarse robe.

Then he took out a wooden mask he had made himself, originally intending to bring it back to amuse Xixi, to give her as a toy.

But now…… let's just use it on the fly.

Because Xixi is born in the Year of the Ox, Li Che carved an ox-face mask, slightly cartoonish and cute.

Wearing the cute ox mask, Li Che felt as if the whole world had been cut off from him; each breath became easy and free.

"Sun Changbiao……"

Li Che softly uttered that name.

The next moment, his mind and spirit stimulated the Dao Fruit 【Dragon-Elephant Vajra】.

Crack crack crack……

Like the sound of bones colliding, it echoed, crackling like frying beans; beneath Li Che's black coarse robe, his muscles began to writhe, a tingling sensation spread throughout his body, then his frame shot up and bulked up, his back muscles instantly hardening like iron, coiling and dense like a prowling dragon!

Flesh and blood like dragon and elephant, Vajra indestructible, unrivaled horizontal training!

This is the characteristic of the Dao Fruit 【Dragon-Elephant Vajra】!

After Li Che chose to actively activate it, his physique underwent a complete change; the cultivation and qi-blood suppressed and stored within the Dao Fruit surged out, returning to his flesh!

And his flesh itself actively transformed, strength growing mighty!

Li Che's original height was about 1.75 meters; after activating the Dragon-Elephant Vajra, he shot up to about 1.9 meters, his flesh bulging out considerably, becoming solid and burly, the sense of oppression extremely terrifying.

"Power……" Li Che's eyes flickered beneath the cute ox mask as he glanced at his hands, which held terrifying power like palm-leaf fans; he clenched them tightly, vaguely causing wind and waves to howl!

"As if containing the power of dragon and elephant……"

"Such a transformation, let's call it the Vajra Transformation."

Li Che murmured softly.

He felt that at this moment he was like a jungle elephant, possessing the terrifying might to trample fierce tigers and raging lions.

This is the change in bodily strength brought solely by the Dao Fruit……

Unrivaled Horizontal Training!

Beneath Li Che's mask, his swollen-flesh face seemed to pull back slightly into a faint smile.

Then, his burly physique stepped forward, shattering the wind and snow.

……

……

Sun Changbiao's courtyard is located on the west side of the Xu Ji Manor.

As the second son of Steward Sun, the courtyard where Sun Changbiao lives after splitting the household is naturally excellent—it is a three-open courtyard, with a spacious and bright yard.

Sun Changbiao held an umbrella and returned to the courtyard after work.

He exhaled a breath, and his face turned somewhat grim.

Chen Dabao has set his sights on me…… really fast, he came knocking so quickly.

Sun Changbiao standing in the courtyard had an uncertain expression; Old Chen was investigating him, and he naturally noticed—even if he tried hard to conceal it, the fact that he had joined the Spirit Infant Sect could not be hidden.

After all, he had personally gone to the Spirit Infant Sect's altar to offer incense.

Forget it; if I don't act, Chen Dabao won't dare to kill me either…… without evidence, he won't move.

All I need to do is relay information and wait for an opportunity…… a Spirit Infant, once delivered to the altar, my wish for a son will surely be fulfilled!

Sun Changbiao longs for a son so much.

No, it should be said that he and his wife both desperately want a son.

Suddenly, the thoughts of Sun Changbiao, standing still in the courtyard, were interrupted.

"Dad…… dad, it's time to eat."

A timid voice came over.

Sun Changbiao looked over and saw his eldest daughter leading three little daughters, timidly holding dishes, obviously just having finished cooking and coming out from the kitchen.

"I know."

Sun Changbiao said lightly.

Then he put away the umbrella, shook off the snow from its surface, brushed off his long robe, and stepped into the warm inner room.

The four daughters placed the steaming dishes on the table; the eldest daughter obediently took hold of her three younger sisters, pursed her lips, left the warm inner room, and of her own accord went to the kitchen to eat.

At the table, Sun Changbiao and his wife Lady Liu began to feast heartily.

"Husband, how is that matter?"

"The Vice Incense Master is urging us urgently…… the child of Master Li's family is a one-in-a-hundred-thousand Spirit Infant; if we can send him to the sect, the Sect Master will surely grant us a son!"

Lady Liu rubbed her slightly bulging belly, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Sun Changbiao frowned: "Don't rush, I have it figured out..."

What do the women know?

Chen Dabao is not someone to offend lightly; this guy's strength is formidable, and many high-ranking members of the Xu family in Nei Cheng seek to curry favor with him!

Chen Lao's regard and affection for Li Che's daughter are evident to him; if he were to provoke Chen Lao, he'd fear a brutal beating, and if mishandled, he could even lose his life.

"Eat."

Sun Changbiao picked up a pair of chopsticks with some stir-fried meat, his brows instantly knitting: "You little brat, why so much salt? Trying to kill her father?!"

Outside.

The tall little girl leading her sisters out of the house pressed her lips, seeming to hear the scolding from inside; her face paled a bit, she pulled her sisters and hurried toward the kitchen.

It's freezing outside; the kitchen still has residual warmth from the firewood, making it somewhat more comfortable.

And after the girls left.

A burly, mountain-like figure wearing a bamboo hat and mask appeared silently on the corridor, not a speck of wind and snow touching his body.

Watching the girls' figures as they entered the kitchen.

The eyes beneath the cute cow mask were icy and utterly still.

"Thud—thud—thud—"

After drinking a cup of warm sweet wine, Sun Changbiao picked up a piece of stir-fried meat, eating with oil dripping from his mouth, feeling very content.

Suddenly hearing the knock at the door, his contented eyes suddenly furrowed.

"You little brat, when you're eating, don't make noise—you don't understand, do you?"

Seeing her husband frown, his wife quickly slapped the chopsticks down with a palm and scolded him.

Sun Changbiao raised his hand, halting his wife's anger: "You're pregnant, don't get angry—keep our son safe."

After saying that, Sun Changbiao stood up, casually plucked the vine hanging on the inner room wall, picking meat from between his teeth while swinging the vine.

However, just as he reached the door...

"Bang—"

A thunderous explosion rang out, wood chips flying as the door was suddenly kicked apart!

A flurry of snow and cold wind surged in.

A tremendously thick leg lashed out like a divine whip!

A kick struck Sun Changbiao's abdomen; terrifying force erupted like a cannonball, his eyes nearly popping out, his body curling like a shrimp, he shot forward and smashed into the table, reducing the feast to a mess.

"Pfft—"

Sun Changbiao spat out a mist of blood, a burning pain exploding in his abdomen, his whole body went numb, he struggled to lift his head.

"Who... who... who are you?"

His first thought was that Chen Dabao had attacked.

But upon seeing the newcomer, that mountain‑like, oppressively powerful stranger left Sun Changbiao stunned.

Not Chen Dabao!

How could Chen Dabao, that frail little old man, be so mighty and burly?!

Then... who could it be?!

Who has he offended?!
