"..." Just as they were about to count to three, the heads of the four great families, their heirs, and their clansmen suddenly screamed in terror. They dropped their weapons and turned to run away in fright.

In an instant, they left Wang You all alone in the Ye family, facing off against Xi'er. At that moment, Wang You smiled and closed his eyes.

Humans are just that kind of animal.

Aside from Liuli, no one will stand by your side forever.

Liuli, I've lost. I only beg you never to look for me again. It was my fault; let Xi'er kill me...

"Three!" A loud gunshot suddenly rang out from the Ye family.

Opening his eyes, Wang You's smile deepened. His index finger did not pull the trigger…

Chapter 221 Top-Tier God-Level Expert

The gun slipped gently from Wang You's hand. At that moment, Wang You smiled and closed his eyes. As the gun fell to the ground, Wang You's body collapsed. Gradually, a large pool of blood welled up from Wang You's body and slowly spread.

A clap of thunder sounded, and a vast expanse of spring rain fell bleakly. The rain soaked the dust on the ground and drenched Wang You's body.

At this moment, the entire Ye family laid down their weapons.

"Wang You, he's dead...?" Ye Shuangxing's eyes widened in disbelief. Just a moment ago, Wang You exuded an invincible aura, and now he was dead?

Wang You is dead; he was killed by Xi'er. He and Xi'er had agreed that he would fire on the third shot. Xi'er's gun fired, but Wang You's gun did not.

Xi'er watched as Wang You collapsed to the ground. At that moment, she glanced at the pistol in her hand. A complex emotion welled up in Xi'er's eyes.

Why, why didn't Wang You fire the gun?

He was Wang Yang's prince, the most elite member of the Wang family. Even with numerous members of the Ye family standing in his way, wouldn't Wang You still have a chance to kill him if he fired?

Why didn't Wang You shoot himself?

"Wang You has lost, but we have won. Although the Ye family is led by women, our girls are no less capable than those boys. The bloodline of the Yehenara family remains. The spirit of the Yehenara family remains. The Yehenara family is like the sun in the sky, it will never set. Wang You's subordinates are just a bunch of small fry. He knew he was no match for the Ye family, and that without taking down the Ye family, he couldn't resist the attack of the Wang family's large number of experts, so he chose to commit suicide," Tong Jialing'er said coldly.

"Wang You, he chose to commit suicide?" Xi'er looked at Wang You, who was already lying on the ground, with a look of shock in her eyes.

“Yes, it was the young master who revived our Ye family. It was the young master who led us to defeat Wang You.” Tong Jia Ling’er’s eyes were coldly fixed on Wang You.

"We won! We won! Young Master led us to victory against Wang You! Long live Young Master!" Seeing the heads of the four great families fleeing with their men, and knowing that he could no longer contend with the Ye family alone, Wang You chose to commit suicide. The entire Ye family erupted in cheers at that moment.

"My child, I'm so sorry, I've made you suffer..." The Empress Dowager hugged Xi'er tightly, tears of grievance welling up in her beautiful eyes.

Since the death of her husband, the Empress Dowager had been heartbroken. She had no interest in managing the Ye family, nor in meddling in worldly affairs. Therefore, she passed the position of head of the Ye family to her five-year-old daughter, Xi'er. The heads of the four major branches of the Ye family would become Xi'er's teachers, instructing her in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and martial arts. Once Xi'er was married to the heir of the Wang family, she would retreat to the deep mountains to bid farewell to the mortal world.

Deep down, she knew how much hardship Xi'er had endured since childhood for the sake of her family. She was originally an innocent and carefree girl. She should have had a life of her own. But for her family, Xi'er had sacrificed too much. Now, watching Xi'er shoulder the burden of the family and defeat Wang You, she was filled with mixed emotions.

The bullet was fired from Xi'er's gun. Wang You was killed by Xi'er.

Xi'er sacrificed too much for her family.

Xi'er, held tightly in the Empress Dowager's arms, had her delicate brows slightly furrowed. Her clear eyes were unfocused, and her gaze towards Wang You, who lay on the ground, became complicated.

She never dreamed that Wang You would choose to give up at this crucial moment. They had clearly agreed to shoot each other, but Wang You would rather die than harm herself.

Is Wang You a good person or a bad person?

But regardless of whether Wang You was a good person or a bad person, he was still Wang Xi's younger brother. Now she has killed Wang You, killed Wang Xi's younger brother.

Thinking of this, Xi'er couldn't help but look at An Yao.

An Yao stared blankly at Wang You lying on the ground, speechless. Her eyes, which had been cold and sharp, now held an indescribable complexity. Gradually, An Yao's eyes reddened. She couldn't help but gently clench her snow-white hands. No matter how big a mistake Wang You had made, he was still her own brother. And the blood flowing from Wang You's body was the same blood as hers.

Seeing Wang You lying on the ground, no longer breathing, An Yao's eyes gradually filled with grief, and she gently closed them.

The rain intensified, and I led Wang Che, Wang Huan, Young Master Bao, Runtu, and Heilong to the scene. When we saw the heads of the four major families of the provincial capital leading their clansmen in flight, I already knew in my heart that the Ye family had won.

But when I saw Wang You lying on the ground, I couldn't help but clench my fists tightly.

"Wang You. He's dead?" Seeing Wang You fall to the ground, his blood flowing out and forming a small river on the ground, Wang Che covered her mouth with her delicate hand at that moment.

"My brother, he's dead!?" Upon seeing Wang You's dead body, Wang Huan's eyes widened in utter shock. He stared blankly at Wang You's corpse, his brows furrowing deeply.

"Who, who killed Wang You!?" Suddenly, Wang Che's expression turned furious. In an instant, a cold light flashed from his body.

"It was me, it was me who killed Wang You." Xi'er's bright eyes flickered, but her voice seemed to have lost its spirit.

"It was you!?" Upon hearing Xi'er's words, Wang Che's eyes flashed with rage. He then pointed his longsword at Xi'er. "Yehenara Xi'er, although Wang You is arrogant and even attempted to devour your Ye family, he is still a prince of our Wang family. Even if he has committed a grave mistake, it should be dealt with by our Wang family. Yehenara Xi'er, what right do you have to kill Wang You!?"

“Wang You, he made a bet with me to the death. We were to count to three, and then both of us would fire at the same time. I clearly felt the killing intent emanating from Wang You. I clearly saw him preparing to shoot. But I never expected him to back down at the crucial moment. He could have killed me, but he didn't. And I, I accidentally killed Wang You…” Xi’er’s voice was soft. Looking at the pistol in her hand, her eyes were filled with unspeakable self-reproach. After all, she was only seventeen years old. Even if she hadn’t killed Wang You, but an ordinary person, she would probably have lived with that guilt for the rest of her life.

"Brother, I will avenge Wang You!" Wang Che bit his delicate lips, which were now bleeding. No matter how wrong Wang You was, he was still his younger brother.

The dignity of the Wang family cannot be trampled upon by Xi'er!

And I... stared blankly at Wang You's corpse, my heart unable to find peace for a long time. At that moment, my mind was blank, and I felt as if I had lost my soul.

I never dreamed that Wang You, who was alive and well yesterday and pointed at me saying I wasn't worthy of being his brother, would be lying on the ground as a cold corpse today.

I've already rushed over from the oil city as quickly as possible. I thought Wang You would lead a large force to take over the Yehenara family, and that he would kill the Ye family members. I never imagined that Wang You would be so easily defeated by the enraged Ye family members. Even though he is a born king, he is still no match for the Yehenara family.

He did not defeat the Yehenara family. He was the one who was defeated.

He was defeated and died.

My mind went blank, my heart was in turmoil. Wang Che's angry voice just buzzed in my ears. At that moment, I saw no one else but my dead younger brother. Stepping through the muddy rainwater, I walked aimlessly towards Wang You.

Wang You is dead, killed by Xi'er. So what should I do? Should I avenge Wang You?

Even though the family had issued a kill order against Wang You, even though the family had decided to kill Wang You, I still rushed here in order to stop Wang You before the Wang family's experts arrived. But I was too late. I never expected that Wang You would die at Xi'er's hands.

Xi'er, she killed my own brother. From now on, how am I supposed to deal with my relationship with Xi'er?

I walked step by step towards Wang You, getting closer and closer to his corpse. But just as I was about to pick up Wang You's body, a white figure suddenly snatched him away.

With icy eyes, the innocent-looking girl gently placed her hand on Wang You's wrist. When she touched Wang You's wrist, which had no pulse, her body went limp and she collapsed into the muddy water.

Then, tears streamed down her clear eyes. Looking at Wang You, who was no longer breathing, her body instantly emitted a thick black aura.

"Liuli, I'm late..." Seeing Wang You, who loved Liuli the most, dead, my heart bled as if it were being torn apart.

She didn't speak. She simply held Wang You's corpse quietly, the black aura around her growing increasingly dense. And when the black aura gathered to a certain degree, a gigantic black dragon faintly appeared within it. The dragon roared loudly at us, rebuking our heartlessness.

Suddenly, Tong Jia Lao Gu's eyes flashed with a sharp light, "Liu Li, her strength has increased even more. She is now a top-tier god-level expert!"

"What!?" Upon hearing what Tong Jia Lao Gu said, everyone present changed their expressions drastically.

Chapter 222 Methods Beyond Martial Arts

Almost everyone knows who would be the most grief-stricken if Wang You died. It would be Liuli, Wang You's most beloved younger sister. And Wang You had taken Liuli away from home precisely so that he could be with her for life. He died for Liuli.

For Liuli's sake, he did not hesitate to betray the Wang family, take down the four major families in the provincial capital, and take down nineteen forces in the provincial capital. He even risked his life to fight the Yehenara family for Liuli, wanting to take down the Yehenara family and fight against the Wang family's large-scale attack.

Wang You, everything he did was for Liuli. His eyes were always on Liuli in this life, and they will be on Liuli in the next.

Now, Wang You has died because of Liuli.

Liuli is innocent, but she's not stupid. She can feel Wang You's love for her, and she knows that Wang You will be the best person to her in this life.

At this moment, she was engulfed in immense grief because of Wang You's death. Her heart was completely consumed by endless resentment.

She had transformed into a top-tier god-level expert at this moment.

A superior god-level expert, above that lies the realm of gods. Those are beings capable of looking down upon everything. Even in this entire world, experts above the realm of gods are few and far between. And she... actually became a superior god-level expert, only a hair's breadth away from those above the realm of gods.

Even in this entire world, top-tier god-level experts are extremely rare. A single top-tier god-level expert is enough to establish a super-powerful family; a single top-tier god-level expert is enough to reign supreme in the martial world. A single top-tier god-level expert is enough to make major forces in the martial world desperately try to win them over, even feeling inferior and hesitant to do so.

So what does a god-level expert represent in the Ye family?

Aside from a handful of people like Tong Jia Lao Gu and the Empress Dowager, probably no one can rival Liu Li. Liu Li has now become one of the most powerful figures.

At that moment, the meticulous An Yao immediately sensed the impending danger. Even though she was also grieving for Wang You's death, she still forced herself to run to Liu Li, "Liu Li, Wang You was mistakenly killed by Xi'er. He gave up his life and chose death. And the reason he chose death was all because of you!"

"Brother, did he choose death because of me?" Liuli's body was already shrouded in thick black energy. She gently raised her eyes, which could freeze everything into ice.

“Yes, Wang You chose death because of you. He knew he was no match for the Wang family, nor for the Ye family, and he could no longer fight against them. So, he chose to sacrifice himself to save your life. Once he died, he could take all the blame and be punished in your place. Everyone in the family knows what kind of person you are, and they all believe you were just deceived and wouldn't do anything wrong. Only with his death can the family let you go. Liuli, please don't betray Wang You's feelings for you, please don't make another mistake.” An Yao looked at Liuli earnestly and said.

"No, brother would never lie to me." With a smile, the black aura around Liuli intensified.

"Hmm?" An Yao's eyes flickered uncertainly after hearing Liu Li's words.

“Brother would never lie to Liuli. He swore that he would be good to Liuli for the rest of his life, and would never lie to her. He would never let Liuli be lied to. He told me that he loved Liuli and wanted to take her to a place where they could be together forever. And Liuli loved brother too, and wanted to be with him for the rest of her life. But he died, and he can never be with Liuli again. In this world, no one will ever love Liuli like brother did.” As she spoke, a smile gradually appeared on Liuli's face. Then, tears streamed down her face.

"Liuli!" An Yao clenched her hands tightly.

"Brother. Let Liuli avenge you, and then I'll stay with you for the rest of my life." Smiling, Liuli suddenly raised her cold eyes to look at Xi'er.

"Liuli, don't do anything foolish!" Upon hearing Liuli's words, An Yao immediately grabbed Liuli tightly.

But at this moment, An Yao only tore off a piece of Liu Li's clothing. Her face was covered in blood, and there were deep red marks on her neck. Liu Li had already appeared in front of Xi'er at top speed. At the same time, Liu Li's body emitted an even denser black aura, which tightly enveloped Xi'er, and Liu Li struck Xi'er hard with a palm.

Even if Xi'er is incredibly strong, she's at most a mid-level martial arts expert. How could Xi'er possibly withstand a single move from Liuli, who is practically on par with a god?

With a bold shout, all the top guards of the Ye family were mobilized. Ye Shuang stood beside Xi'er, gritted his teeth, and struck her hard with a palm.

Ye Shuang was already a mid-level god-level expert. However, when Ye Shuang's palm met Liu Li's palm, Ye Shuang's expression changed drastically, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and flew out violently. He flew very fast, flying into the Ye family's main hall with a whooshing sound, smashing the tables and chairs in the main hall to pieces, and then crashing heavily into the wall of the Ye family's main hall.

"Upper-tier God-level expert... Is this god-like power? Surpassing all other God-level experts, approaching the power of even the gods..." Young Master Bao's eyes widened in horror. His face was ashen.

"Liuli, don't even think about harming my young master!" A sharp shout rang out, and someone drew a bow and arrow. The arrow then let out a sharp whistle and flew fiercely towards Liuli.

"Hehe." Liuli smiled, easily catching the arrow in her hand. Then she swung it backhand. The arrow immediately flew fiercely towards the maid who had attacked from behind.

Instantly, a blossom of blood erupted from the maid's shoulder. Then the arrow pierced her body and embedded itself deeply in the stone wall behind her.

"Liuli hates those despicable people who resort to sneak attacks the most. Brother, he would never sneak attack anyone." Tears streamed down Liuli's face as she smiled and stared intently at Xier.

"Liuli, it was clearly Wang You who led the attack on our Ye family, and our young master killed him to uphold the Ye family's honor. You eloped with Wang You and betrayed the Wang family, committing two capital crimes. Yet you still dare to avenge Wang You! Kneel down and beg for mercy, and we might spare your life!" Instantly, the Wang family's elite guards swarmed forward. They wielded all eighteen kinds of weapons. A flash of cold light, and the eighteen weapons simultaneously attacked Liuli.

"Liuli doesn't understand what heinous crime we committed. Liuli just wanted to be with her brother. You killed him, so you should pay for it with your lives." Liuli's figure suddenly vanished in front of them, then reappeared behind them.

Sensing the intense resentment behind them, the faces of the Ye family's top experts immediately turned extremely ugly. Their strongest members were merely mid-level martial arts masters, utterly incomparable to Liuli's strength and speed.

They wanted to protect their young master, Xi'er, but they were all powerless to do so.

Before they could even turn around, Liuli had already kicked them away with a powerful kick. Then she bit her lip and turned her deadly attack on Xi'er again.

"We must protect the young master! Even if the entire Ye family dies, we must protect the young master!" Ye Wuji suddenly roared, leading all the members of his Ye family branch to charge forward. Ye He Xianjue also immediately led his entire Ye He family to join the attack. Nalan Kang and Na Laduoji, the two branch heads, also immediately led their entire clansmen to surge forward.

Seeing that everyone had made their move, Tong Jia Ling'er, a mid-level master of the Divine Realm, quickly protected Xi'er and struck Liu Li with a palm.

In an instant, all five of the Ye family's mid-level Divine-rank experts made their move. In addition, over a dozen of the Ye family's lower-level Divine-rank experts joined the fray, along with hundreds of palace guards and martial arts masters-level maids, all drawing various weapons and attacking Xi'er. Apart from the Yehenara family, no other force in the three northern provinces could muster such a massive force.

To prevent Liuli from harming Xi'er, the Empress Dowager immediately embraced the deeply remorseful Xi'er for accidentally killing Wang You and retreated. At the same time, she said to the old man beside her, "Old Gu of Tongjia, make your move!"
