With six times the physical strength, Li Xingdao, wielding a long-handled axe, was truly invincible among ordinary people, relying on simple axe techniques.

He led Liu Laosan and his group to search house by house, moving with incredible speed. Whether they resisted or begged for mercy, they were all killed without mercy.

They showed no mercy when they killed his parents, and they showed no mercy when they tried to kill him. If they hadn't seen his value, he would probably be dead by now.

Now that these people are of no value to him, he naturally won't hold back.

He slaughtered his way from one end of the village to the other, killing every single one of the more than 20 men in the Li Heng, Li Lai, and Li Wai family.

Only then did he feel a little better. He let out a breath and clasped his hands in thanks to Liu Laosan.

"Thank you so much, Brother Liu, for your help. Otherwise, without you, I'm afraid I would have had a hard time avenging my parents' death so easily."

"Not at all, not at all. We're brothers, and you call me Brother Liu, so this little thing is nothing to worry about."

Upon hearing Li Xingdao's words, Liu Laosan chuckled, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and then a resolute glint flashed in his eyes:

"However, even though the person has been killed, the body still needs to be disposed of properly, otherwise there will be unnecessary bloodshed and the house will be stained."

"How about this, I'll take my brothers to transport all those corpses to the brick kiln for you, throw them into their brick furnace and burn them all, or we can find a place to dig a big pit and bury them all."

"Then I'll clean all seven houses for you. How you deal with them afterward is up to you."

Liu Laosan spoke with a broad smile.

Hearing Liu Laosan's words, Li Xingdao raised his eyebrows and quickly clasped his hands in a fist salute to him: "Brother Liu is indeed very experienced. It is indeed a bit troublesome for me to handle these things by myself. I will have to trouble you, Brother Liu."

"As for the valuables in that house, let Brother Liu and the other brothers divide them up as they find them, and leave me just enough to fill my stomach."

No matter how good the relationship, you can't let someone work for free. Li Xingdao understood this very well, so he spoke very sincerely.

"Haha, so sensible!"

"However, this family fortune was obtained from your parents' surplus wealth and business acumen. Besides, I came here to avenge you, so I can't let my men come here for nothing."

"In that case, you can give them three taels of silver each, and I won't take it. We might be fellow disciples in the future, and taking this little bit of money would damage our relationship."

Upon hearing Li Xingdao's words, Liu Laosan laughed heartily and then, after a moment's thought, explained to Li Xingdao:

"After all, it would be fine if it were any other kind of favor, but this time it involved killing someone and taking action. If we don't give them some money, we won't feel at ease."

"Although they are all my subordinates, I can't just assign orders to anyone when it comes to this kind of thing."

"Alright, young man, I hope you understand. It's not that I, Liu Laosan, am greedy for this money. Although I could easily pay for it for you, if I did, they would definitely be unhappy knowing that you didn't pay."

"Thank you for your guidance, Brother Liu. I will listen to you!"

Upon hearing Liu Laosan's words, Li Xingdao raised his eyebrows and, without hesitation, clasped his hands in a fist salute and spoke.

Hearing that Li Xingdao was so obedient, Liu Laosan's face once again showed a relieved smile.

He then waved his hand and led his brothers to accompany Li Xingdao back to the village. They dragged away the bodies of the people they had killed, cleaned them up, and buried them in a ravine outside the village.

By the time they buried these things and returned, it was already dusk.

Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Laosan originally intended to leave, but after thinking about it, in order to avoid any unexpected mistakes and also to prevent Li Xingdao from being frightened, he decided to stay in Peach Blossom Village for the night to embolden Li Xingdao.

Li Xingdao was naturally extremely grateful.

Liu Laosan said that he should give each of his martial arts guards three taels of silver, but he found that after searching all of Li Lai and Li Hen's property, there were more than 190 taels of silver in total.

After that, he kept only 30 taels of silver for himself and gave the rest to them.

Then they went to Li Lai's house and asked Zhang Cui to cook a dinner that would be enough for all of them to have a good meal, and to make it a lavish one.

Then he turned around and brought Li Hen's wife, Lin Xia, who was still silently staying there despite her pale face, out of Li Hen's house and brought her to Li Lai's house so that she could help Zhang Cui cook.

Then they went to Li Xiaohua's house, picked her up, and asked her to help with the cooking.

They then went to four other places and found that each of these four places had only one woman left, all of whom were women of Li Hen's brothers.

Although these people were terrified, none of them took their own lives; instead, they all stayed there obediently.

Seeing this, Li Xingdao knew that these women sometimes couldn't make any decisions, so he gathered them all together and brought the four women to Li Lai's house to cook with Zhang Cui and Lin Xia, so that Liu Laosan and his group could have a full meal soon.

Afterwards, he collected the beds from the seven families and set up a bed at Li Hen's house that was big enough for each of them to sleep in.

Among the seven Li brothers, Li Hen's room was the largest, and only his house could accommodate more than 20 people, including Liu Laosan.

After setting everything up and locking the door, Li Xingdao arrived at Li Lai's house with a big smile. He spent time with Liu Laosan and the other brothers, expressing his gratitude and chatting with them.

However, seeing that there was still time to spare and that he had finished his work, Liu Laosan took the initiative to end the conversation and instead asked Li Xingdao to re-erect the horse posts.

Fearing he might miss some details, I had him practice more while I corrected him from the side, so that Li Xingdao could remember them more clearly.

The guards were all amazed that Li Xingdao had mastered the stance training so quickly.

He also understood why Liu Laosan was so fond of Li Xingdao.

As darkness fell, Zhang Cui and the others finally finished preparing meals for more than 20 people.

Li Xingdao warmly invited them all to sit at the table, served them the food, and let everyone enjoy a hearty and satisfying meal.

Afterwards, he smiled and personally escorted them to Li Hen's house.

After settling them all in at Li Hen's house, he smiled and returned to Li Lai's house.

When he arrived home, he found Zhang Cui, Li Xiaohua, Lin Xia, and the other four women of Li Lai's brothers silently watching him in the yard.

He calmly walked into the courtyard, closed the door, and locked it from the inside.

"The seven brothers, Li Lai, Li Hen, and Li Nao, killed my father and mother, seized their property, and even tried to force me to my death. They only spared my life because I was somewhat useful and could take care of Li Lai."

Li Xingdao walked up to them and said expressionlessly, "Now I remember everything, and I'm fully awake."

"I've taken all these people's lives to avenge my parents."

"You are women, I won't make things difficult for you. Those who want to leave can stay in the west room tonight."

"I don't want to leave. I want to stay here and live with you, taking care of the fields, houses, and brick kilns left behind by the seven Li brothers. Tonight, you'll sleep in the main house with me!"

As Li Xingdao spoke, he nodded to Zhang Cui:

"Zhang Cui, come and boil some bathwater, let's wash ourselves thoroughly."
