Limitless Evolution: I Have Infinite Potential.

The head of the Xue Family stared at his son's severed, blood-soaked arm, grief tightening his voice. "As long as you're alive, it's fine. We'll reattach your hand."

He turned sharply to a nearby subordinate. "Where is the young master's hand?!"

"Reporting, Family Head... it seems his hand fell into the lake!" the man stammered nervously.

"What are you waiting for?! Go and retrieve it now!"

"Yes, sir!"

The head of the Xue Family's face darkened. He turned his eyes toward the Hat Man, who now lay on the ground, drenched in blood and barely breathing.

But even in such a state, the hatred in the man's eyes sent a chill down his spine.

Swish!

The Ancestor of the Xue Family appeared beside him, hands folded behind his back, his voice cold and indifferent. "If I hadn't stepped in, your useless son would be dead already."

"Ancestor!" the Family Head immediately bowed respectfully.

"Thank you, Ancestor, for saving my life! I, Tianyi, will never forget this!" Xue Tianyi said, visibly emotional.

"We're all family, no need for thanks," the Ancestor replied, waving a hand dismissively. His gaze sharpened as he looked down at the Hat Man.

His tone turned oppressive. "Now, tell me. Who sent you? You dare cause a scene at my banquet—you clearly don't take me seriously."

He had just announced to the world that he'd broken through to the Virtual Immortal realm. Yet someone had the gall to attempt an assassination on his grandson, right in the middle of a celebration?

This wasn't just arrogance—it was a direct challenge.

No matter who was behind it, he would crush them without mercy.

"Who sent me?" The Hat Man let out a crazed laugh, each note laced with bitter mockery... and sorrow.

"This bastard has committed countless atrocities. If there's any justice in this world, he shouldn't be allowed to live another day! If you hadn't interfered, he'd be dead by now!"

It was clear now—this wasn't an assassination ordered by someone else. This was personal.

The Ancestor frowned. "Tianyi, do you know him?"

Xue Tianyi scowled, "Ancestor, he's insane! I don't know him at all! He's just some lunatic obsessed with killing me!"

From Xue Tianyi's perspective, this was nothing more than sheer misfortune.

"Hmph! My son doesn't know you! Who the hell are you?!" the Family Head barked, sleeve flicking in irritation.

The Hat Man spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, growling with hatred, "Listen up. My name is Li Wujie."

"What?! You're Li Wujie?!"

A gasp rippled through the crowd.

"He... he's the Blade Demon, Li Wujie!" a guest muttered, stunned.

Li Wujie's name was notorious across several states in the Eastern Domain. His sword was sharp, fast, and deadly, and he answered to no one. Anyone he deemed wicked was cut down, regardless of background or cultivation.

He'd once rampaged through Yun Province like a madman, challenging every expert he came across to sharpen his swordsmanship. Many who crossed his path ended up disgraced or dead.

His presence had instilled fear throughout Yun Province for years.

And now, this legendary madman had come to kill the Xue Family's young master?

If this news spread, it would shake the Eastern Domain to its core.

"Damn it! How did someone like him even get into our estate? Who handed out our invitations so carelessly?!" the Family Head roared at his subordinates.

"Save your breath. I took one myself," Li Wujie sneered.

The Family Head was left speechless.

"Blade Demon Li Wujie..." Xue Tianyi clenched his teeth. "I've heard of you, sure, but I've never met you! I've never wronged you—so why are you trying to kill me?!"

"No grudge?" Li Wujie's fury surged to the surface. "You murdered my sister!"

"Your sister?"

Xue Tianyi looked momentarily confused.

"Her name was Li Xiaofei. We were inseparable growing up. Later, we set off on the path of cultivation together. A few years ago, she broke through to the Golden Core realm and traveled to Ling Province to see the flower sea. I didn't go with her—I was too focused on my sword training."

Li Wujie's eyes turned bloodshot, his voice hoarse with regret.

"Months later, I received her shattered jade slip. That was when I realized... something had gone terribly wrong. I rushed to Ling Province, searched high and low, burned through all my resources, until I finally found a lead—someone told me she had a conflict with you in Anyang City, at the Drunken Immortal Tower. Then she was taken by your Xue Family guards. No one ever saw her again."

"Everyone in Anyang knows what kind of scum you are. You've long had a reputation for preying on women. Rumors say you're secretly cultivating some twisted technique, using innocent female cultivators as sacrifices."

"My sister was a Golden Core cultivator. Of course she'd be a target for you."

"I can't even imagine what kind of torment she suffered before she died... All of it—because of you."

"From the moment I learned the truth, I swore I'd take your life with my own hands!"

Li Wujie trembled as he spoke, the words dragging years of bitterness into the open.

"I threw myself into training, challenging anyone and everyone to get stronger. A hundred years passed before I finally reached this realm. But every time you left the estate, you were surrounded by elite guards—I never had a real opening."

"When I heard about this banquet, I knew it was my best chance. You'd be relaxed, arrogant, surrounded by allies too drunk to respond fast enough. I thought... I thought it was finally time."

"They say the most dangerous place is often the safest. I bet everything on this strike."

"But I didn't expect..."

Li Wujie's voice cracked. He let out a roar of frustration.

"You're damn hard to kill, you know that?! I was so close! So close!"

The crowd fell silent, processing everything.

Many looked at Li Wujie with new respect.

Everyone knew of Xue Tianyi's depraved behavior. As the most infamous wastrel in Ling Province, he did as he pleased, sheltered by his family's immense power.

Meanwhile, though Li Wujie was feared as a killer, he had always targeted the corrupt.

Compared to someone like Xue Tianyi, Li Wujie's reputation was practically noble.

But it was clear now—he wasn't going to make it out alive.

"Drunken Immortal Tower... Li Xiaofei…"

Xue Tianyi's expression turned thoughtful. He frowned, then slowly smiled as something clicked in his memory.

Looking at the bloodied man before him, he smirked cruelly. "Ah, now I remember. That little firecracker was your sister?"

He chuckled, eyes filled with sick amusement.

"I've broken a lot of women, but a few... some are unforgettable."

"She had a great figure. Hot temper, too—like a wildcat."

"She cursed me out when I first approached her at the Drunken Immortal Tower. So I had my men tie her up and toss her into my room."

"Back then, she screamed and cursed non-stop... but a few hours later, she started begging for mercy. What a beautiful sound that was..."

Xue Tianyi clicked his tongue, eyes gleaming with twisted pleasure.

"She lasted three days. After that, she was no fun anymore. Her mind broke, and her spirit collapsed. So I strangled her and put her out of her misery."

"And now you want to kill me for that? You should be thanking me. I gave her attention a woman like her could only dream of. Hahaha..."

BOOM!

That was the moment Li Wujie completely snapped.

His face twisted in agony, tears flowing freely as he howled like a wounded beast.

"You monster! You sick, depraved bastard! Why are you still breathing?! Why haven't you died yet?! I swear I'll kill you! I'll rip you to pieces!"
