Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 2031 - 2094: Plenty of People Want Me Dead
It seems I’ve encountered a small sect, Li Yifei thought after dealing with the six people. These six were not ordinary either, possessing martial arts skills, though only slightly stronger than regular people, it’s still not easy. After all, they were facing Li Yifei. The two sides were simply not in the same league of mastery—actually, there were several levels separating them.
In the car, Liang Zicheng and Yi Long looked back at Li Yifei, both with palpitating hearts. This was... too powerful; faced with people clearly proficient in martial arts, Li Yifei effortlessly dealt with them in just a few moves.
Not to mention a mob; even if either of them encountered just one, ten or eight bodyguards might not suffice to fend off. Yet Li Yifei, single-handedly, got off the car and took down over a dozen people—or rather, anyone who came near him was mercilessly struck down without the slightest leniency.
No wonder he’s a provincial tycoon; the foundation of a big family is really impressive, the two thought inwardly. However, if they knew Li Yifei had only been cultivating for a few years and the family’s establishment even shorter, who knows what they’d think?
Li Yifei had already resolved the trouble on his side. A few dozen meters away in the nanny van, the door had been pried open and two windows smashed. Xu Shanshan was shielding Su Mengxin and Chu Xiaoyao, standing at the forefront with no trace of panic. In her eyes, these ordinary folks were nothing; even if the weapons they held struck her, they might not cause much harm. The protective True Qi was not to be trifled with; it really worked.
Xu Shanshan even found time to glance at Li Yifei’s battle. She knew he would soon come over, so she was somewhat anxious, worried Li Yifei might snatch her targets. It’s been a long time since Xu Shanshan encountered such a situation; her fight-loving heart was starting to burn fiercely.
Two or three seconds later, facing the first person to rush into the car intending harm, Xu Shanshan smacked him squarely. A punch landed on his eye, sending him flying out. This punch used True Qi; even if the eye heals, it would likely leave a lasting injury.
The women in the car let out a gasp, evidently surprised; who would have thought the usually unsmiling, quiet beauty possessed such skill?
The aloofness, the taciturn demeanor—this was Xu Shanshan’s facade. Especially now, she was playing the role of a heroine; how could she speak carelessly? The people outside the car were dumbfounded, shocked that someone inside dared fight back. After a pause, someone shouted, "Quick, take them away! Let’s withdraw swiftly!"
The group immediately sprang into action, trying to poke weapons like iron rods inside, attempting to push back Xu Shanshan.
"Careful!" Liang Wei warned. Xu Shanshan glanced back at her, curling her lips, and said, "No worries, these small fry can’t hurt me."
Liang Wei seemed to understand, nodding with wide eyes, but soon turned alarmed when a knife slashed closer. She didn’t have time to warn Xu Shanshan. Just then, Xu Shanshan acted. She appeared to flick casually, as if shooing a fly, her fingers snapping against the approaching knife.
With a clang, Xu Shanshan easily flipped the knife away with her fingers. To the enemy’s astonishment, immense force traveled through the blade, accompanied by rapid vibrations. The intense trembling rendered him unable to grip the knife; loosening his grip, it fell to the ground, barely missing a comrade’s foot.
What a phenomenon! How is the beautiful woman in the car so formidable?
"Don’t hold back; quickly deal with her! We’re short on time, can’t waste it," someone shouted roughly.
Through the car door, Xu Shanshan spotted him and snorted inwardly, thinking, "Oh, it’s you? I’ve remembered you, dear."
With a slap, Xu Shanshan decisively removed the car door. Keep in mind that this was a hinged door; slapping it off required immense strength. Inside, the women of the Liang and Yi families had their mouths forming an O-shape, evidently stunned by Xu Shanshan’s mysterious, formidable strength.
Xu Shanshan turned back and said to Chu Xiaoyao, "Protect your sister well."
"No problem!" Chu Xiaoyao replied confidently. She bent to pick up an iron rod, weighing it in her hand, muttering, "This heroine isn’t afraid—show your ability and come over."
Xu Shanshan smiled lightly at the corner of her mouth, facing the dozen or so people surrounding the car, beckoning provocatively, "Come at me together!"
"Be cautious, there’s still a master among them," Li Yifei cautioned from afar as he approached to assist Xu Shanshan, only to be blocked. It was a young man who jumped from the high overpass, a ten-meter drop. This person landed with just a light thud, displaying impressive light-footed skills, unaffected upon landing, standing with his hands behind, eyes calmly on Li Yifei.
This was the mastermind, the skilled one behind this operation. Initially, he did not intend to act unless under unique circumstances. Otherwise, it was left to his subordinates. But now, faced with an unexpected master emerging from Liang Zicheng’s and Yi Long’s car, action was required.
At least this person was far superior to those acting subordinates; otherwise, taking down several competent subordinates in one encounter would be impossible.
"You are strong," Xu Chao gazed at Li Yifei, his expression serene. Although he praised the opponent, Xu Chao did not truly believe he would lose; perhaps against this person, he could also easily prevail, much like how the opponent dealt with his subordinates.
Li Yifei clapped his hands, as if dusting them off, and then said, "That’s okay. If you’re trying to say you’re stronger than me, you might as well shut up."
"You!" Xu Chao was about to say exactly that, but Li Yifei blocked him, which immediately annoyed him.
Young people are always quick to get heated. Li Yifei smirked and shook his head with a chuckle. This expression was unbearable to Xu Chao—it was blatantly looking down on him.
"You’re good, daring to belittle me like this! I..."
"Are you trying to say that people who underestimate you meet a terrible end?" Li Yifei interrupted Xu Chao once more.
Xu Chao’s fair face visibly reddened with anger. He clenched his fists, losing his previous composure, and suddenly pointed at Li Yifei, shouting, "Come on, hit me! I’ll show you my strength."
"I don’t want to know. After all, you’re just a weakling!" Li Yifei shook his head as he spoke. Just then, he heard a thud—it was Xu Shanshan delivering a beautiful combo kick, sending two people flying. As she flipped her hair, she looked over at Li Yifei. Their gazes met in mid-air, and Li Yifei raised an eyebrow and gave Xu Shanshan a thumbs-up.
Xu Shanshan lifted her chin, accepting Li Yifei’s praise, turned around, and continued her fight. Li Yifei’s gesture infuriated Xu Chao, who then attacked in anger.
Oh, he’s someone with True Qi too, Li Yifei’s eyes narrowed—he’s actually quite skilled, no wonder he’s so confident.
In the car, Liang Zicheng and Yi Long almost forgot to breathe. Facing such powerful people coming for a kidnapping, they felt it was far beyond their worth. Liang Zicheng whispered, "They’re martial artists, probably after that thing."
"Sigh!" Yi Long sighed, also whispering back, "I knew it was trouble, but I didn’t expect it to be such a big headache!"
"What can we do? It’s happened. Unless we don’t want anything and give everything away, we’ll face this sooner or later," Liang Zicheng said.
"How about..." Yi Long glanced at Liang Zicheng. The latter understood his meaning, pondered, then said, "Let’s wait and see. We need to hold our ground."
"Alright then!" Yi Long nodded.
Outside, Xu Shanshan’s opponents didn’t dare approach. Among them were minor experts like those Li Yifei had handled earlier, but they weren’t any match for her—she quickly knocked them down. Compared to Li Yifei, who could take down enemies with one move, Xu Shanshan needed a few more moves, which was understandable since her cultivation wasn’t as high and her combat skills were slightly lacking. But in Xu Shanshan’s view, she was just a cat toying with mice, in no rush to finish them off—once they’re down, who would keep her entertained?
Even so, Xu Shanshan quickly dealt with several opponents. The remaining ones realized this beautiful woman was a master they couldn’t handle and pinned their hopes on another expert.
This was a woman, which was clear from her appearance. She wore a white robe, like she belonged to a Han clothing Coser Club. She was short, possibly not even five feet tall, with heavy makeup that obscured her age, but after the makeup, she looked over twenty-five.
The woman walked over step by step with good lightness skills; each step was light and airy. If only she had a different face or figure to match, Xu Shanshan might have praised her ethereal grace. Unfortunately, the heavy makeup was like a fly, marring the experience.
"You’ve hurt my people," the woman spoke in a peculiar voice. Like a drake’s squawk, but deliberately high-pitched. Instead of being sweet, it was... disgusting.
Xu Shanshan shuddered, nearly rolling her eyes in disgust. She snorted without responding, an action that seemed to infuriate the woman. With a heavy huff, the woman extended her hand... or rather she seemed to, except her Han clothing sleeves were so long Xu Shanshan only saw something lift like a ghostly flag, not a hand.
"Fine, fine, fine, you dare ignore me? I’ll kill you!" the woman said, her voice grating.
Xu Shanshan looked up at the night sky—tonight’s view was quite nice. After enough gazing, she lowered her head to look at the woman, seemingly thinking, "Many have tried to kill me; who do you think you are?"
Hmm, this line might have sounded more fitting coming from Li Yifei. After all, he’s the one with enemies everywhere, whereas Xu Shanshan has only a few.
