Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 2032 - 2095: You Lost
Xu Chao finally couldn’t hold back. He was the first to make a move, unleashing True Qi as if it were free, seemingly trying to scare Li Yifei witless. After all, in Xu Chao’s opinion, the number of martial artists in this world is already few, and the true martial artists even fewer. Martial artists like him, who have reached the pinnacle at such a young age, are extremely rare. Therefore, he has ample reason to be proud and complacent. In short, he just wants to shock Li Yifei with one move to retaliate for the contempt he received.
Unfortunately, Li Yifei is not an ordinary person either. He didn’t flinch but instead smiled lightly, twisted his foot subtly, and his body swiftly dodged Xu Chao’s two consecutive attacks.
Indeed, following a pattern, only this young man before him is much stronger than those people before. Li Yifei thought to himself, if he were to judge, Xu Chao would probably be able to deal with those people before easily, without much effort.
Of course, Li Yifei didn’t exert much effort either.
"If you’ve got the skills, stop dodging!" Xu Chao saw Li Yifei retreating continuously, not engaging in direct combat, and immediately shouted in frustration.
"Oh? Are you sure?" Li Yifei stopped and said flatly.
"Sure! Damn it!" Xu Chao lost that calm demeanor he had earlier and quickly revealed his true nature.
This is exactly the chaos I wanted! Li Yifei thought with a smile. Having tested the opponent’s skills, there’s no need to waste more time.
Certainly, it’s also because Xu Shanshan is safe over there. Otherwise, Li Yifei would have solved the fight quickly rather than waste time here.
"Hmm?" Xu Chao suddenly felt a pang of fear in his heart, sensing danger as if the person before him became different all of a sudden. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
"You’ve lost!" Li Yifei hadn’t even made a move yet but uttered these words, further confusing Xu Chao, who sensed his opponent seemed different.
"Hoo!" Xu Chao finally realized what was wrong; it’s the opponent’s skills. This seemingly eccentric person turned out to be so skilled?
Two gusts of palm wind passed by, Xu Chao narrowly avoided them. He had a feeling if he were hit by one of those palms, he would be completely disabled. Even after dodging those two palms, he wasn’t safe, as Li Yifei’s next attack arrived before his eyes. "Hoo," a gust of wind swept by, forcing Xu Chao to retreat fiercely, but he wasn’t faster than Li Yifei and was kicked in the abdomen, causing him to curl up in the air in pain.
"Weakling!" Li Yifei landed and casually spoke the two words. Having made a total of ten moves, not even at full strength, he naturally had the right to say these words.
As a young person, Xu Chao presumably understood "weakling." Even if he didn’t understand, he could grasp the general meaning. Xu Chao knelt on one knee, clutching his stomach, his face full of pain. Did he lose just like this? A moment ago, he thought he could deal with the opponent in a few moves, yet he was the one defeated?
The strong sense of reluctance made Xu Chao want to stand up and fight again, but unfortunately, he quickly realized he couldn’t. After getting hit, the True Qi in his abdomen’s Dantian began to become chaotic, and the True Qi in his meridians started to misalign. If he didn’t adjust quickly, Xu Chao might suffer severe internal injuries.
His face turned pale, taking a few breaths before he looked up at Li Yifei, a hint of fear in his eyes.
"How can you be so strong?" Xu Chao held it in for a while and asked. From what he knew, among the younger generation, people like him are already considered outstanding. Li Yifei didn’t seem much older, so how could he be so formidable? Sitting down cross-legged, Xu Chao wanted to quickly adjust the chaotic Qi in his Dantian. If he let the Qi remain chaotic, it would be no small matter.
"It’s not that I’m so great; it’s that you’re too much of a weakling." Li Yifei looked at him, saying something that nearly made Xu Chao vomit blood. That sentence was like Uncle Guo’s famous sarcastic remark — it’s not that what I said is so good, but that my peers are too poor.
Xu Chao groaned, pulled out a small medicine bottle from his bosom, took out two pills, stuffed them into his mouth, and began to sit there.
He had thought about whether Li Yifei would retaliate, but he could only resign to fate.
Luckily, Li Yifei had no intention of killing. There was no need; the opponent just wanted a bit of a scuffle, and breaking that was enough. Killing would make things escalate easily. Li Yifei was now focused on returning home quickly and confirming the child’s DNA as the most important thing; he could let everything else go.
Over there, Xu Shanshan also had an absolute advantage. Of course, she encountered some minor troubles initially. The strange woman on the other side fought fiercely, but compared to Xu Shanshan, there was a giant-like feeling while the opponent seemed like a nimble monkey, darting up and down, often unexpectedly.
Xu Shanshan took some time to adapt to the opponent’s attack style before finding a way, knocking her to the ground with a few moves. Shanshan initially intended to kick her opponent’s waist and send her flying, but ended up hitting her in the chest instead.
As a woman, Xu Shanshan thought her kick was a bit too strong. If it were her taking such a hit, she might have cried from the pain, yet the opponent only rubbed her chest twice before jumping up to fight again.
This woman... Seeing her unharmed, Xu Shanshan didn’t hold back. After all, these people were trying to kidnap them. Xu Shanshan quickly dealt with the strange woman, then glanced at Li Yifei’s direction. Seeing that he had also finished, Xu Shanshan raised a YEAH hand gesture.
The others didn’t dare to come forward. Their strongest ally was lying on the ground, and the situation was unclear. Charging in would make them cannon fodder, so they wisely scattered and ran to avoid being beaten down.
Li Yifei scoffed but didn’t bother intercepting them. He could have, but it would be too exhausting. Capturing a few masterminds was enough, and it was necessary to let the underlings go back to report the situation.
Liang Zicheng and Yi Long climbed out from the skylight. They didn’t know what to say; they just felt it was incredibly fortunate for their daughters to know Li Yifei. He was not only influential but also exceptionally skilled in martial arts, to a level they had never seen before.
"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your help," they said respectfully upon approaching Li Yifei.
"No need. You should call some people over to take these few away and find out what’s going on." Li Yifei pointed to Xu Chao, who was sitting and healing. Xu Shanshan gestured towards the strange woman with her chin. This woman had been knocked down by her and suffered significant internal injuries, making her combat ineffective for some time.
"Okay! I’ll call someone over now," Yi Long quickly responded. As someone who had grown his business to this size, he had a few people at his disposal. But since this place was bustling, they’d soon lift the control, and it wouldn’t be good to be seen by ordinary people. Li Yifei helped round them up again, grabbing a few tough ones and tossing each into the car while immobilizing their acupoints.
When it was Xu Chao’s turn, he suddenly opened his eyes and said to Li Yifei, "I admit defeat. No need to immobilize my acupoints, or it’ll delay my treatment."
"You weak chicken dare to speak?" Li Yifei said, pressing a finger down, causing Xu Chao’s body to stiffen instantly. His eyes filled with anger, but unfortunately, Li Yifei no longer paid him any attention, rendering his anger useless.
Half an hour later, Li Yifei and the others returned to a villa owned by Yi Long. His subordinates had already brought everyone back and were interrogating them in the basement. Li Yifei, meanwhile, grabbed a bottle to prepare some milk; the baby was hungry.
Seeing the hungry baby crying nonstop, Su Mengxin felt a bit upset. As a new mother, she had enough milk, but unfortunately, nobody had been feeding her for a few months, and she was now out of milk, unable to feed her son when he was hungry. Only when the bottle was brought back did Su Mengxin’s frown ease a bit.
A few minutes later, Li Yifei also arrived in the basement. Yi Long and Liang Zicheng were frowning as they listened to their subordinates’ report. Seeing Li Yifei come over, they hesitated and didn’t immediately explain to him. Instead, Li Yifei said, "Go on and explain. I need to understand, after all, they were targeting my wife and child as well."
Yi Long and Liang Zicheng felt a sense of relief. They had been worried that Li Yifei wouldn’t want to get involved in this trouble, hence their hesitation. Upon hearing Li Yifei say this, they explained, "It’s like this: these people are from a gang in the Jiang-Zhejiang area called the Lake Sect. Although the name sounds ordinary, they have many experts, different from those other gangs; they are true martial artists. The gang’s headquarters is on a small island, in a villa called Lake Village. The people you just caught, Mr. Li, are young disciples of the Lake Sect. The man’s name is Xu Chao, and the woman’s name is Cheng Feng. They took on a mission to kidnap us, and it seems they were targeting me and Yi Long."
"Hmm, continue." Li Yifei nodded, feeling relieved it wasn’t him they were after. If they had been targeting him, he would have had to investigate further to ensure no hidden threats were endangering his child.
After some hesitation, the two continued, "According to Xu Chao, he was hired by someone to kidnap us. The person who hired him goes by the name Wei Ziang..."
Mentioning this name brought a change to their expressions. They paused for a few seconds before explaining, "This Wei Ziang... we actually know him, and he has his motives."
"Trying to steal something from you?" Li Yifei immediately asked.
"Hmm..." They nodded, leading Li Yifei into a side room, closing the door behind them.
Seeing them taking it so seriously, Li Yifei guessed the matter might not be so simple. If it were just a single piece of material, it shouldn’t have involved so many people. It seemed that Guo Qilin from the hotel earlier likely wasn’t there just to show off.
Moreover, why did this name Wei Ziang sound so familiar?
Li Yifei frowned and thought for a while. With his excellent memory, he seldom forgot things he had heard. After a few seconds, Li Yifei clapped his hands, realizing where he had heard the name Wei Ziang before. This guy was a suitor of Su Mengxin’s and had been stepped on by him before. Apparently, he was from the Wei Family in South Su. Thinking of South Su, Li Yifei connected the dots: wasn’t South Su in the Jiang-Zhejiang area?
