Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 2056 - 2119: Entering the Monster Island

The two of them carried weapons with them, and on the way, Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan kept themselves busy. Even though they were on a charter plane, it was just a cargo plane. The interior space was indeed large, but it was not comfortable. Fortunately, they didn’t mind. With no outsiders around, they began practicing sword moves. Elder Qingqiu generously taught Xu Shanshan a set of sword techniques, not the Wind Swordsmanship, but called the "Yicui Sword Technique." The name sounded nice, and the moves were beautiful, consisting of five more moves than the Wind Swordsmanship Li Yifei had learned, totaling ten moves.

Xu Shanshan also practiced diligently. The Blue Glow drew blue afterimages, with each move looking quite skillful. Compared to the Yicui Sword Technique, Li Yifei’s Wind Swordsmanship appeared a bit rigid. Of course, this had something to do with gender—Li Yifei couldn’t possibly use moves that were too gentle.

In terms of variation, the Yicui Sword Technique had fewer changes, while Li Yifei’s Wind Swordsmanship was said to be inspired by wind—the wind in nature, with gentle breezes, light winds, as well as gales and strong winds, great winds, and storms.

So theoretically, this was a set of sword techniques with a very promising future. If it weren’t, Elder Qingqiu wouldn’t have taught Li Yifei this swordsmanship.

Li Yifei initially had some complaints, but as he pondered over it for some time and fully understood the intricacies of this swordsmanship, he realized its mysteries. Unfortunately, he had already left that mountain and could not thank Elder Qingqiu in person.

Since he figured it out, Li Yifei became even more diligent. He was the type who either didn’t do it or did it to the best of his ability. Learning swordsmanship was no different. Since this swordsmanship was considered powerful and suitable for him, Li Yifei pondered it every chance he got lately. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

He finally had the opportunity to spar with Xu Shanshan, and neither of them would miss this good opportunity.

The so-called moves are not fixed. The Wind Swordsmanship consists of five moves but has countless variations, while Xu Shanshan’s swordsmanship emphasizes strength within gentleness. Although it has fewer variations, it wins by technique.

Along the journey, the two engaged in more than ten bouts, not to mention sitting down to discuss with each other.

After getting off the plane, Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan did not head straight to the dock but found a quiet place to spar once more.

Only to the point of stopping, Li Yifei didn’t attack aggressively, and Xu Shanshan also conserved her energy. Like Li Yifei, she also felt that this trip to the island might not be easy. The more powerful they were, the safer they would be. This was also why she insisted on accompanying Li Yifei. Two Innate Experts together would always be stronger than one. Even when it came to True Qi, they had more together.

After sparring, Li Yifei took Xu Shanshan to a local specialty restaurant and enjoyed a hearty meal before taking a taxi to the agreed location.

Since they might not be able to eat these delicacies for the next few days, Xu Shanshan was noticeably a bit downcast, while Li Yifei started talking with the local military officer in charge.

The other party knew they were dealing with the famous Golden Eagle and was very polite, handing them two packages filled with individual combat rations, two guns, essential knives, and individual communication devices. Although they knew these satellite navigation, positioning, and communication devices were useless inside, what if they happened to work?

Seeing the individual combat rations, Xu Shanshan’s expression improved slightly. The other side had prepared real individual combat rations, three meals a day, each different, with over twenty kinds, even including canned fruit, enough for seven days. Although it was somewhat heavy to carry, it was nothing for the two of them.

For safety, Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan divided them up, each carrying their share, including weapons and such, in the same way.

After hearing the latest reconnaissance, Li Yifei had confirmed that there were gigantic monstrous fish in those waters, very fierce, capable of preying on sharks, even whales—attacking human ships, often capsizing them or directly swallowing them with a big open mouth.

Of course, against a warship, these fish didn’t have much means. Conversely, the warships didn’t dare to venture inside recklessly. Who knew what was in there? Without understanding, it wasn’t wise to make big movements.

"Golden Eagle, I’m counting on you and this lady. If there’s anything else you need, please let me know, and I’ll find a way," the officer said very sincerely.

Li Yifei glanced at him, chuckled, and said, "Nothing else. I already know how to reach you. After finishing the task, I’ll call you. Be sure to come and get me quickly!"

Before boarding the transport plane, Li Yifei suddenly thought of something. He gestured, indicating the plane shouldn’t take off hastily, pulled out his phone, and called Old Master Su.

Li Yifei remembered the previous time in Vietnam, when he was trapped in the formation method for so many days. If this time was the same, wouldn’t Su Lio over there be in danger? So Li Yifei needed to inform the old master that if he didn’t return, Su Lio’s situation should still be controlled by the old master.

After the call ended, Li Yifei finally felt at ease. He sat down next to Xu Shanshan, and as the plane slowly took off, about an hour and a half later, they reached a maritime area. The person in charge came over to tell Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan to prepare for parachuting. In five minutes, they would reach the designated area. The plane couldn’t go further because once inside, they would lose direction; all kinds of navigation would fail, and even manual control wouldn’t work.

Li Yifei made an OK gesture to show his understanding, helped Xu Shanshan check her parachute, and repeatedly emphasized some precautions. Xu Shanshan had parachuted before, so she wasn’t too afraid, especially since they were jumping over the ocean; even if something went wrong, it wasn’t too dangerous.

Five minutes later, the cabin door opened, and Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan jumped out one after the other. As they spun in the air, Li Yifei watched Xu Shanshan. Once they reached a certain altitude, he communicated for Xu Shanshan to pull the parachute first.

Following his instructions, Xu Shanshan opened her parachute and began to slow down. Only then did Li Yifei open his own. A few minutes later, Li Yifei gradually saw the ocean surface. He even took a moment to glance at the watch on his wrist, which indeed showed geomagnetic disturbance, making it impossible to distinguish North, South, East, and West. However, the time was still accurate, but the satellite phone on his other hand lost signal, even though it was a custom-made satellite phone.

After securing his belongings, Li Yifei signaled for Xu Shanshan to steer closer to him to avoid being too far apart after landing. Xu Shanshan pulled the control strings and slowly floated toward him.

Originally, if it was just Li Yifei, he would have preferred to use a glider to observe the situation below from the air, adjusting his posture as needed, to avoid swimming a long distance in the ocean. However, Xu Shanshan wasn’t skilled with it, so he had no choice.

After a few more minutes, both Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan splashed into the ocean. They were both excellent swimmers, capable of holding their breath for ten or twenty minutes underwater and remaining unharmed, aided by True Qi. A few dozen meters apart, after Li Yifei landed, he discarded his parachute and swam toward Xu Shanshan to regroup quickly. Xu Shanshan did the same.

A few minutes later, they reunited and determined the direction. Li Yifei pointed in one direction, saying, "It should be that way."

Even though they were both in great physical condition, it was best to get to shore as soon as possible. After all, the water depth here was over a thousand meters, and who knew what was hidden beneath. Just encountering that big fish would already be a challenging opponent.

With backpacks on, they essentially had floating devices, allowing them to stay afloat on the surface.

"Honey!" When there were no outsiders, Xu Shanshan would change her address from brother-in-law or Li Yifei to husband. Of course, this was always when only she and Li Yifei were present. This was also why she frequently called him brother-in-law; it just slipped out.

"Let’s get ashore first. My perception doesn’t extend too far. If we encounter those strange fish, it won’t be easy to escape." Li Yifei patted Xu Shanshan’s arm, pointed in one direction, and the two of them headed there without a word.

At their speed, they swam for about ten minutes before they saw a faint outline in the distance, seemingly an island, but it was hard to discern. Even with their eyesight, they couldn’t see it clearly.

"Are you tired?" Li Yifei turned to look at Xu Shanshan. She slowly shook her head and was about to speak when her expression suddenly changed. Li Yifei also sensed something was wrong. Quickly turning his head, he saw, about dozens of meters away, several sword-like fins rise from the water. They were shark fins—three in total. Just from the fins, it was clear that these three sharks were not small.

Li Yifei signaled Xu Shanshan to stop. He sank into the water and saw the three sharks swimming toward them, likely arriving in less than half a minute.

Without hesitation, Li Yifei drew the sword from his back. Xu Shanshan mirrored his action. Although they were somewhat disadvantaged in the water, dealing with a few sharks was not too troublesome. But they had to leave immediately after killing them because the blood scent could attract monster fish.

According to the information Li Yifei had, those monster fish were most attracted to the scent of blood.

The sharks charged aggressively. Sharks have a very keen sense of smell, discerning the scent of blood from miles away. These three sharks were clearly coming to hunt, targeting Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan who were floating on the water.

"Attack! I’ll take the two on the left, you handle the one on the right!" Once the sharks came close, Li Yifei assigned the tasks, holding his sword as he submerged and dropped his backpack, knowing it was specially made to float on the water and not sink.

The sharks seemed not to recognize humans, unsure of what they were, driven only by their hunger to attack. In the water, these massive creatures, several meters long, were undoubtedly more agile and stronger than humans, yet they could not withstand Li Yifei’s sword.

The first shark charged bravely. Li Yifei gripped his sword with both hands, aiming for the shark’s belly. He contracted his body and slashed, despite the shark’s sharp teeth and strong bones. It couldn’t withstand Li Yifei’s sword. With one slash, Li Yifei cut open half of the shark’s belly, exposing its innards and spilling bright red blood.
