Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 2038 - 2101: It’s a Pity You’ll Still Lose
The duel between experts is rare, and for ordinary people, it is almost impossible to witness such a scene. Even the Young Masters have hardly ever seen such a scene, especially Chen Fangzhou and He Zhenyu. When the elders of their families make a move, there is never this kind of feeling.
They are already dozens of meters away and far from the center of the battle, yet they can still feel their hearts pounding. What kind of feeling must it be for the two at the center?
The two stood roughly ten meters apart, Li Yifei didn’t move, neither did Gu Yapeng, but actually, the first wave of exchanges had already begun.
If not for the poor skills, it would be a good opponent, Li Yifei thought to himself. Unfortunately, judging by what Gu Yapeng just said to Su Mengxin and the intentions he revealed, Li Yifei couldn’t let him off easily. Damn it, daring to take interest in my wife, you truly don’t know how you will die.
Gu Yapeng slowly raised his left arm, transforming his palm into a fist, the sharpness of the fist was impressive. Although the overwhelming True Qi wasn’t visible, the surrounding air seemed to be disturbed by the True Qi. His right hand was still presented as a palm.
With a peculiar starting stance, Li Yifei slightly opened his eyes and tilted his head. He withheld breath and concentrated his mind, his Dantian spun and True Qi burst out, quickly flowing through his body. Although Li Yifei didn’t believe the opponent could defeat him, necessary caution was still essential as underestimating the enemy could be very dangerous.
Especially that precious sword of the opponent, Li Yifei didn’t care about it until he saw it, and now he wanted it very much. Of course, the black rectangular object given by Liang Zicheng and Yi Long was not something he would let go either.
"Ha!" Gu Yapeng shouted explosively, with eyes like lightning, charging toward Li Yifei. After practicing for over twenty years, achieving such heights with ordinary talent, Gu Yapeng felt he had every reason to be proud and was confident enough to defeat Li Yifei. As for the opponent... could he possibly be like him, having a famous master to teach, abundant resources, and full support from his family, getting whatever he wanted.
After returning to the Capital City, he challenged many people, young, old, respected and renowned, defeating them all. Of course, he hadn’t fought through the entire Capital City, as it’s unknown how many Unparalleled Experts are hidden in 49 City, and however arrogant he was, he knew he couldn’t challenge those people. But even so, the Gu Family was extremely pleased.
Now, Gu Yapeng wanted to challenge Li Yifei. The first battle after leaving the Capital City, he intended to step on the currently popular Li Yifei, proving to the world that he, Gu Yapeng, was exceptionally strong, to the point where even Li Yifei couldn’t stop him.
On the way here, Gu Yapeng even thought about how surprised the world would be after he defeated Li Yifei, and then use this opportunity to continue challenging strong people nationwide.
Of course, first, he had to take down Li Yifei.
With ambition behind a punch, Li Yifei intercepted it with a palm, only to see Gu Yapeng’s other hand slashing down like a long knife. Though the arm was only that length, when it came down, Li Yifei felt a sense of overwhelming power, like mountains and seas raging together.
At first, this guy used full strength, and this punch and palm combo was indeed strange. Li Yifei twisted his foot, retreated forcefully, feeling it was unwise to directly confront that palm, so he chose to dodge.
"Trying to escape?" Gu Yapeng sneered, leaping up to pursue Li Yifei, resembling a hawk spreading its wings, with a punch and palm simultaneously chasing Li Yifei.
Their fight stirred fierce winds, causing trees around them to sway furiously. Even behind glass, people inside the building could still feel the intense pressure, and some women who hadn’t seen such a scene before turned pale.
Liang Wei and Yi Mei’er covered their mouths, their eyes wide open. Although the two girls had seen Li Yifei in action before, when he fought Mig, and the world seemed to change, seeing it again, they felt the blood boiling, their eyes unwilling to blink, and dared not make a sound, fearing it would affect Li Yifei.
Liang Zicheng, Yi Long, along with their wives and families were all shocked, realizing this was a battle between true masters, far surpassing the special effects of film and TV. What’s happening now was real, with no special effects.
Su Mengxin turned her head to look at Xu Shanshan, Xu Shanshan gently shook her head, snorted through her nose, and a gentle might spread out, enveloping everyone, particularly shielding the children. The buzzing glass swayed by the fierce battle outside gradually stabilized.
On the opposite side, many people had to hide in the cars, feeling somewhat better with the car windows separating them from outside, otherwise, the intense pressure seemed to weigh heavily in their hearts.
Bang... Li Yifei swiftly spun and moved, a bit surprised by the peculiarity of Gu Yapeng’s moves. Amidst large openings, there was cunning calculation. Just now, he took a hit from the opponent’s hand knife, causing pain from his hand to his shoulder.
Of course Gu Yapeng wanted to press the attack, and during the pause, he didn’t forget to taunt Li Yifei, saying, "You’re quite a good opponent, but unfortunately, you’re still going to lose!"
"Heh!" Li Yifei responded with a smile. The Worm had no reaction, which meant he was still worry-free. Moreover, after a few moves, he had already identified Gu Yapeng’s patterns and found a way to counter them.
In recent days, Li Yifei had been incorporating various techniques to make them his own. Therefore, as he shook his hands and stretched his arms, True Qi filled them, as if forming an invisible True Qi shield. When Gu Yapeng charged, Li Yifei struck out with his right palm, seemingly in a straight line, yet in the air, it transformed four or five times.
Gu Yapeng thought it was just an ordinary palm strike, like before. But when he attempted to counter, he suddenly realized that the palm seemed like a venomous snake, with its head slithering and exuding intense danger.
How could this be? Could it be an illusion? Gu Yapeng was slightly dazed. When he realized it was Li Yifei’s anomaly, he hurriedly retreated, leaning backward and kicking out to try to slow Li Yifei’s offensive.
"Thud!" Li Yifei slapped aside Gu Yapeng’s leg, pursued with a Lotus Step, not giving Gu Yapeng space, followed by a move of Silver Snake Coiling around the Tree. As his hand was about to hit Gu Yapeng, it suddenly became a hawk claw, fiercely grabbing Gu Yapeng.
Vast True Qi surged forth, causing Gu Yapeng’s face to change. He gasped, his body spinning 360 degrees in mid-air, while he reversed to grab Li Yifei’s wrist, wanting to use this to fling Li Yifei away. Unfortunately, his calculations were wrong, and Li Yifei had anticipated his move; with a whip kick, he struck the flipping Gu Yapeng, who had no time to dodge.
Bang, Gu Yapeng flew through the air like a ragdoll, but fortunately, he adjusted in time to avoid a disgraceful fall on the ground.
Nevertheless, Gu Yapeng suffered a loss. After landing, his expression fluctuated, seemingly unable to accept the reality that Li Yifei had kicked him away, even if it was a surprise attack, it still shouldn’t be!
He took a couple of breaths to calm down, stood up slowly, stared at Li Yifei with a grim expression, and said, "You have some skills."
"More than some—I’ve got many skills." Li Yifei stretched out his hand, speaking easily to Gu Yapeng. Having fought to this point, Li Yifei more or less had some confidence, and had roughly gauged the opponent’s strength.
Wei Ziang and the others’ hearts skipped a beat. Gu Yapeng was kicked away by Li Yifei. Was he going to lose?
The people inside the room cheered, particularly Liang Wei, Yi Mei’er, and Chu Xiaoyao—the three young girls around the same age with similar temperaments. Seeing Li Yifei gaining the upper hand, they were naturally delighted.
Liang Zicheng and others also breathed a sigh of relief, though they didn’t show it too openly; the muscles on their faces visibly relaxed a bit.
Su Mengxin had not seen Li Yifei in many battles against strong opponents, including Satan, the Japanese Martial God, or the Saintess. Those were mostly life-and-death battles. She had seen Li Yifei sparring with Elder Murong, but sparring is not a life-and-death battle, and the level of danger is different. At present, Gu Yapeng clearly wanted to humiliate her husband, so Su Mengxin was somewhat worried.
Seeing Li Yifei kick Gu Yapeng away, Su Mengxin knew she didn’t have to worry too much about this battle today. She turned to look at her son sitting in the stroller; the little baby seemed interested, gazing out the window. Su Mengxin walked over, took a snack from behind the stroller, opened it, and placed it in her son’s little hand.
Outside, Li Yifei and Gu Yapeng fought again. Gu Yapeng was now serious, but he realized the Li Yifei in front of him seemed like a river, and he was a fish that couldn’t swim out of the water surface. The opponent’s attacks had no patterns, nor were his techniques superb, and even his strength seemed inadequate, yet he was able to fight in a way that made Gu Yapeng uncomfortable.
It was like having strength yet unable to use it. The opponent’s lightness skill seemed good; Gu Yapeng initially thought so. But as the fight prolonged, he realized it wasn’t that simple. Li Yifei’s lightness skill was indeed good, yet similarly without clear tactics, more like a mix of various step techniques.
Anyway, he had the strength and the techniques but couldn’t use them, feeling frustrated. He couldn’t execute, and yet the opponent could freely use a mix of techniques. Just among the four or five sect techniques Gu Yapeng recognized, there were many he didn’t know.
Where did he learn all this? Each sect’s techniques are closely guarded secrets, which outsiders can only learn superficially. But Li Yifei seemed to have learned the essence, using them effortlessly, unlike stealing from masters. But if he hadn’t stolen them, how could he know so many?
Gu Yapeng grew more frustrated as he fought, feeling like Li Yifei was a slippery, sticky catfish.
