these little ghosts with underdeveloped minds into spirits with better mental capabilities than ordinary people."Hehe, Young Master, the power of maternal love can turn any impossibility into possibil...Chapter 482 Terrifying Killing Intent

To note, Xiao Yu believed that even with all his strength and the tiger form from Wuqinxi combined in a pounce, he did not think this old man's talisman could withstand it.

This was why after seeing the old man throw out the talisman, rather than dodging it, he charged straight at it. However, unexpectedly, he had underestimated this talisman as it managed to block his punch.

"How do you know about the Thousand Butterfly Talisman"

"Why do you have a Thousand Butterfly Talisman"

Both Xiao Yu and the old man's faces revealed shock, asking in unison.

The moment this old man saw his talisman block Xiao Yu’s fist, he suddenly retreated. As he was retreating, he unexpectedly heard Xiao Yu shout out loud, causing him to freeze mid-retreat, turning around with a horrified look towards Xiao Yu.

He had thrown the talisman just now, which was their family's secret technique that they never told outsiders about. Furthermore, no one outside his family knew it either. This talisman hadn’t been named by anyone in hundreds of years, yet Xiao Yu called out its name immediately! How could he not be shocked

Xiao Yu’s shock surpassed this old man's; when his fist met the talisman and saw the butterflies formed from those air currents, a memory about such talismans suddenly surfaced in his mind.

The two fell silent after hearing each other's questions. Xiao Yu closed his eyes for a moment before reopening them. When he opened his eyes, there was no more shock in them, and his mood had returned to calmness.

However, the old man’s horrified look remained on his face for a long time. He held his hand in a defensive position with an alert expression, looking at Xiao Yu as if preparing to attack at any moment.

The two didn’t speak, but after recalling that memory, Xiao Yu roughly understood this Li Family's background. But why would they be named Li This puzzled him; it seemed he could only learn more by questioning the old man.

"How do you know about the Thousand Butterfly Amulet You'd better tell me, or it will be a fight to the death today!" The old man looked at Xiao Yu and no longer had the air of a transcendent immortal he had when Xiao Yu first arrived; instead, his face was hideously grim.

The old man's one hand formed a finger gesture while the other reached into a cloth pouch attached to him. In his hands were two talismans, ready for any action at a moment's notice.

Xiao Yu calling out the name of this talisman made his heart inexplicably nervous; if Xiao Yu spread their family secret, they would never find peace until the clan was wiped out! Therefore, unless Xiao Yu gave him a convincing reason to stay here, he would do anything to keep him.

"The Thousand Butterfly Amulet is also known as the Thousand Fold Talisman. Or maybe it's a variant of the Thousand Fold Talisman! This talisman does not have an offensive power; its main function is defense, capable of forming up to thousands of layers of butterfly-shaped airflow to protect the user!"

Xiao Yu did not answer the old man's words but instead introduced the characteristics and origins of the Thousand Butterfly Amulet.

The more he listened, the more shocked the old man felt. What Xiao Yu was saying were secrets kept by their family for generations, passed down from one generation to another. Only the head of each generation knew these secrets.

'How does this young man know Who is he' The old man thought to himself, wondering how Xiao Yu could be so well-informed if it wasn't just a casual inquiry about their family's secrets.

Xiao Yu knowing the Thousand Butterfly Amulet and its function clearly indicated that he was no ordinary inner strength expert. It seemed likely that Xiao Yu might also be an cultivator, but the old man felt nothing of the kind from Xiao Yu's aura, which was perplexing to him.

He didn't believe it possible for someone like Xiao Yu, at his age and even if he were a prodigy, to surpass him. He had cultivated for over a hundred years, and during that time, having nothing else to do while residing in the ancestral hall, he spent most of his time cultivating. Diligence could make up for lack of talent, so he didn't think it was possible.

Another possibility was that Xiao Yu only knew their family's secrets but wasn't a cultivator himself. His inner strength cultivation was extremely profound; although the Thousand Butterfly Amulet he painted only reached six butterflies, no ordinary dark energy expert could break it. Although Xiao Yu couldn't break it either, his abilities were on par with this talisman, which made him more formidable than an average dark energy expert.

Inner strength cultivation requires persistent effort from childhood onwards, and the dedication involved is unimaginable. For someone of Xiao Yu's age to have reached the peak of dark energy was not something ordinary people could achieve.

If it were said that his technique had surpassed him as well, the old man would never believe it, even if he possessed extraordinary talent.

If Xiao Yu is a genius that comes once in several centuries, then at his age, to be able to achieve such a level in one of the practices already borders on defying the heavens. That's why when the old man saw Xiao Yu's inner energy cultivation stage, he didn't believe that Xiao Yu could surpass him or even considered Xiao Yu not to be a cultivator.

"Who are you How did you come to know so much about our Li family" Seeing Xiao Yu not answering directly, the old man asked again with a stern voice.

“Huh huh... The things of your Li family This should be something that belongs to the Du family!” Upon hearing what the old man said, Xiao Yu chuckled and stared at him intently as he spoke.

"What How do you know about the Du family Who are you" Hearing Xiao Yu's words, a look of shock appeared on the old man's face, and he continuously questioned Xiao Yu.

“Forget who I am for now. Tell me what happened to the Du family How did their legacy return into your hands” After hearing the old man’s question, the originally smiling expression of Xiao Yu turned grim as he asked.

Xiao Yu looked at this old man and waited for his answer. At this moment, a violent wave of killing intent surged from within him; this aura was more terrifying than the old man's by tenfold.

The raging torrent of killing intent and malice emanating from Xiao Yu tightly enveloped this old man.

Feeling the killing intent and viciousness coming from Xiao Yu, the old man’s face changed. As Xiao Yu’s aura surrounded him, his complexion gradually paled; cold sweat dripped down his cheeks as he stared at Xiao Yu in fear.

The strength of the killing intent and malice emanating from Xiao Yu was something he had never seen before. He tried to release his own aura to resist it, but everything seemed futile; his aura couldn't withstand the pressure coming from Xiao Yu’s.

Right now, this old man felt as if he were floating in a sea of corpses and blood. When this old man was young, it was one of the most turbulent periods for China, thus he had killed countless people and experienced much bloodshed. Yet even so, when faced with Xiao Yu's killing intent, his resistance barely held.

“Who is this young man” The old man struggled to resist Xiao Yu’s aura and stared at him in shock as he thought.

He had also killed countless people, but the killing intent on his body was nothing compared to that of Xiao Yu's. How many people did Xiao Yu have to kill to have such a formidable aura

Xiao Yu saw that the old man did not answer his question, so he slowly walked towards him step by step. With each step Xiao Yu took, the old man felt as if Xiao Yu's feet were pressing down on his heart.

The frequency of Xiao Yu’s steps seemed to align with the rhythm of the old man's heartbeat, creating an unbearable sensation for him. Additionally, Xiao Yu's stern expression gave off a vibe that he could kill at any moment.

Although this old man was not currently Xiao Yu's match, it shouldn't have been so dire. When Xiao Yu’s killing intent surged out fiercely just now, the old man underestimated Xiao Yu and didn’t think his killing intent would be so intense, leaving him unprepared and giving Xiao Yu an advantageous position.

Seeing that the old man remained silent, Xiao Yu lowered his body and lunged forward towards the old man. At this moment, the tangible aura of killing intent surrounding him, coupled with violent force, surged toward the old man.

In the gale winds around Xiao Yu, a sound similar to tiger roars suddenly echoed. At this time, Xiao Yu resembled a fierce tiger charging forward, exuding bloodthirsty energy.

"Five Animals Tiger Form" The old man exclaimed in surprise upon hearing the roar carried by the wind.

Earlier on, he hadn't thought of it from that perspective. He assumed Xiao Yu was using the Xingyi style, but now, with all his attention focused on Xiao Yu, he noticed the differences between Xiao Yu’s form and the typical tiger form in Xingyi when Xiao Yu lunged forward.

Hearing the old man's exclamation, Xiao Yu’s expression slightly changed; the killing intent in his heart suddenly weakened as he switched from a fist to a claw, aiming for the old man's throat.

Suppressed by the overwhelming aura of killing intent emanating from Xiao Yu, the old man could only exert less than half of his usual strength. On the other hand, Xiao Yu was performing at an outstanding level.

This moment saw Xiao Yu pushing himself to the limit and unleashing his full might in a way he never had before. It was worth doing so since this old man’s strength merited it when not employing Heavenly Master techniques.

When he released all his killing intent without reservation, Xiao Yu felt as if there was an elevation of his soul. As he lunged towards the old man, his mind was incredibly calm; at that moment, he seemed like a spectator watching himself charge forward.

Xiao Yu observed every minute detail in his own movements as he charged forward. Throughout this process, Xiao Yu continually fine-tuned his actions, making his tiger form more perfect and powerful.
