Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 2178 - 2242: Mutual Destruction

In dealing with brute strength, Li Yifei’s half-baked Tai Chi can still handle it. After just a few moves, the two opponents were spun around by Li Yifei to the point of dizziness, unable to exert their strength. However, the two were still unwilling to concede. After being knocked away, they immediately sprang up and kicked with three feet simultaneously. The middle foot was actually two feet conjoined, not only hideous but also large in size. As it kicked over, Li Yifei really didn’t want to clash with it, so he simply dodged. Just as he was about to execute a moon-grasping move to grab one of them, planning to spin these two away like copying a gourd, he suddenly saw a lion’s paw reaching out. A fierce stench rushed toward him, and Li Yifei caught a whiff of death. He hurriedly retreated, abandoning this attack, but the paw refused to give up, continuing to chase. Li Yifei flipped his hand, a True Qi Blade meeting it.

The True Qi Blade shattered instantly upon contact with the lion’s paw, the True Qi dispersing. This was already the second True Qi Blade Li Yifei had condensed, thinking it could hold off for a while, yet it was smashed by the opponent’s claw.

He quickly backed away, wanting to condense another one. His current speed at condensing True Qi Blades wasn’t slow, but it still took time.

And at this moment, Li Yifei suddenly heard the roar of a lion. The left head opened its mouth, transforming into a lion’s head. A roar immediately echoed in Li Yifei’s ears. Under the lion’s roar, Li Yifei was momentarily dazed, realizing he had lost control over his body.

His body stiffened, and Li Yifei was struck by the lion’s paw. Sharp and hard claws grazed his body. Li Yifei felt a pain in his chest, followed by being knocked away. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Yifei!" Wu Shuwei exclaimed, but unfortunately, the distance was too far. She couldn’t reach him even if she wanted to, as the two monster-like opponents had already pounced, not giving Li Yifei any breathing room.

Li Yifei’s body couldn’t move, but his mind was clear. He knew he had fallen into a trap. While experiencing intense pain in his chest, Li Yifei’s body regained its mobility. He didn’t have time to condense a second True Qi Blade; he had only one left. So Li Yifei used the True Qi Blade to brace himself, kicking out precisely at the paw chasing him. Using this bit of force, Li Yifei quickly sprang away and steadied himself, feeling a surge in his chest. That strike just now had caught him unprepared, indeed causing him severe injury.

"Hahaha, how’s my strength?" The left head said smugly.

"Fool, that’s my strength." The right head retorted.

Li Yifei spat out a mouthful of blood, yet a smile appeared on his face. He looked at the two approaching, chuckled, and said, "Then taste my strength."

As he spoke, Li Yifei already brought out his Innate Vital Energy. Compared to his True Qi, the Innate Vital Energy’s power was greater. He usually wouldn’t want to expend the Innate Vital Energy unless absolutely necessary because it was too hard-earned. But at this moment, he couldn’t concern himself with that anymore.

His right fist charged with Innate Vital Energy, incredibly powerful, Li Yifei punched out.

The two opponents, seeing Li Yifei still had strength to counterattack, were dismissive in their eyes. But upon seeing his attack, they didn’t relax, instead roaring, and likewise transformed into lion paws thrusting forward.

No, the left head suddenly noticed something was wrong but couldn’t evade, so had to punch to aid the right head since it was the right head striking with the fist this time.

Boom! A dull, resounding noise, even more intense than when the two were brawling. Li Yifei’s single punch faced off against the two’s successive punches, compounded in their response. Li Yifei also roared, his clothes shattered from the impact, the resulting air blast sweeping the surrounding sand and stones.

As for those two, their bodies paused visibly. The lion paw swelled with muscle ripples, the powerful force transmitting in segments throughout their bodies. Maybe half a second, maybe a second later, once the pause ended, their bodies were forcibly flung backward, accompanied by their cries of disbelief, seemingly feeling they absolutely shouldn’t lose in a contest of strength.

Li Yifei maintained his fist-striking posture. As they flew a distance away, Li Yifei used his leg strength to step several times, his body already airborne. In the air, Li Yifei kicked twice consecutively, striking their chests soundly, with thump-thump sounds, as if drumming.

The two wailed, kicked by Li Yifei, and crashed heavily to the ground.

In an instant, the contest was decided. Although Li Yifei was injured, the two opponents were even worse off.

"Damn!" Li Yifei cursed lowly. Although he won, he used up a lot of Innate Vital Energy. To guarantee a deadly strike, Li Yifei mobilized quite a bit of Innate Vital Energy this time, even relinquishing almost one-twentieth of the total Innate Vital Energy he harvested from the mirror on the Island of All Beings. And this was just from one punch. If he delivered a few more punches, Li Yifei might suffer severe losses.

Nonetheless, the payoff was now too. These two clearly wouldn’t give Li Yifei any reward. They came to kill purely based on an agreement.

Of course, the two weren’t dead either. But they were gravely injured from Li Yifei’s punch and kick combination, lying on the ground, howling nonstop. Their internal organs were probably shattered, several bones were surely broken!

"You... how can you be so strong?" The head on the right spoke unclearly while spitting blood.

"Ha, it’s not that I’m strong; it’s that you’re too weak." Li Yifei intended to put his hands in his pockets, but realized his clothes were ruined, almost like rags. Instead, his hands touched his thighs, and feeling awkward, he rubbed his nose to ease the tension.

The two lying on the ground didn’t find it awkward. Hearing Li Yifei’s words, their blood boiled. How could this be the answer? They weren’t weak; they were incredibly strong, even renowned across the African Continent!

"Impossible, you must be up to something strange; we’re definitely not weak."

"Time to deliver your last words!" Li Yifei didn’t bother explaining, so he smiled vanished and he spoke coldly.

"You’re going to kill us?"

"Isn’t that obvious?" Li Yifei had already transformed a much smaller True Qi Blade in his hand. The flash of white light made the faces of the two men turn pale, their bodies trembling. The head on the right stopped bleeding and hurriedly said, "We... don’t kill us, we were just here to..."

"Just here to kill me, right? Too bad you discovered you can’t kill me, and now you’re the ones in danger." Li Yifei chuckled.

"You, you, you..." The two heads saw Li Yifei really meant to kill them and immediately tried to resist. Unfortunately, Li Yifei’s hand rose, blade fell, and his speed was faster. Two flashes of white light passed, and the two heads tilted and separated from their bodies.

Li Yifei looked at the two with disgust. After two fierce battles, he was not feeling well either. He had used up 80% of his True Qi and was forced to tap into his stored Innate Vital Energy. His chest injury was so severe that his bones might be cracking, along with the mysterious poison left by the Killing Star on his hand. Li Yifei needed urgently to sit down and heal.

"Yifei!" Wu Shuwei had already run over to support Li Yifei, but she quickly turned her head away because Li Yifei was shirtless, and his pants were shattered into strips. Although it was dark everywhere, there’s still some moonlight and starlight overhead, so she could see some bits. Wu Shuwei’s heart raced, feeling she might have seen what she shouldn’t have.

Li Yifei didn’t hold back, his hand on Wu Shuwei’s shoulder, asking her to help him sit down somewhere, and said, "I am injured and need to recover, stay close to me."

"Alright, I will stay right by your side!" Wu Shuwei nodded strongly, clutching a wooden stick, her heart sweetening, then heard Li Yifei say, "So if there’s danger, I can protect you immediately."

Swish, the second half of Li Yifei’s words made Wu Shuwei’s eyes suddenly hot, tears welling up. Li Yifei had already closed his eyes, focusing on healing and recovery because he didn’t know if anyone else might show up soon. If any did, he’d be in danger in this state.

So he didn’t see Wu Shuwei secretly wiping her tears nor her ensuing small dilemma. She thought about covering Li Yifei with her clothes, but she wasn’t wearing much either; taking off her clothes would expose herself. The three dead bodies over there had clothes, but Wu Shuwei didn’t dare to strip them, moreover, those three were too disgusting, better not wear their clothes.

With a wooden stick in her embrace, Wu Shuwei stared nervously, sometimes the wind rustled noisily, immediately tensing her up. Fortunately, Li Yifei was right beside her, sitting quietly yet giving Wu Shuwei immense safety.

Maybe it was more than ten minutes, maybe half an hour, suddenly a heavy feeling hit Li Yifei’s heart. His heartbeat irregularly sounded like a drum, thump, thump, thump; initially at normal speed, but quickly accelerated. Li Yifei hurriedly opened his eyes, showing a trace of pain, feeling tortured, not by Worm, as its effects wouldn’t feel like this!

He lowered his head, seeing the black color spreading over half his injured hand. Yet, he couldn’t perceive this poison’s existence, and without perceiving, he couldn’t counteract or treat it.

What’s going on? His heart still hurt, Li Yifei covered his chest as if trying to ease the discomfort.

This lasted more than a minute before Li Yifei realized, he loudly shouted, "Come out, you coward, making oneself contemptible."

Wu Shuwei hadn’t noticed Li Yifei waking up, jumped in surprise at his shout. As she reacted and was about to stand, suddenly pressure overwhelmed her and she couldn’t sit straight, falling to the ground.
