Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 2092 - 2155: Inheriting the Mohist War Blade

Unlike other courtyards, this hall appeared quite dilapidated, as if it had experienced a great battle. Traces of sword energy and blade energy were everywhere. Li Yifei took a few steps forward, cautiously on guard, while touching the plaque in front of him that had fallen, wondering what powerful weapon had split this extremely hard plaque into two. As Li Yifei felt it, he seemed to be able to imagine the battle scene from before, with an unparalleled sword energy or blade energy slashing through and cutting the plaque in an instant.

Li Yifei reached out to grab a corner of the plaque and tried to lift it, but found he couldn’t move it at all. He could only push it slightly to reveal the words on the plaque. He saw the word for "all" on one side, and some strokes beside it. Li Yifei pushed the other plaque a bit more and discovered the word for "beings" on it, while the middle broken word was "hall."

"So this is the Hall of All Beings," Li Yifei murmured under his breath, but his brow remained furrowed. He and Xu Shanshan had come here but did not sense the evil and powerful force that Shen Tianfang and the others mentioned. In fact, they didn’t even feel any danger, which was rather strange.

There was nothing special about the hall; it felt like a tourist attraction. Even the offerings inside had disappeared.

"Honey, come take a look over here." The two were searching the sides of the hall. Li Yifei hadn’t found anything yet, but Xu Shanshan called him over. He hurriedly went to her side, where Xu Shanshan pointed to a wall. Li Yifei looked and saw some words left on it: "Evil Demons Slain Here." These words were not of modern script, but they were barely recognizable.

"Evil Demons Slain Here," these five words were carved directly with a weapon, and just looking at them, one could feel the immense power within. Each stroke contained a lingering killing intent.

Who could have carved this? Naturally, the two of them didn’t know, but a blade was embedded above the word "Slain." Apparently, the person had written the words and then thrust the blade in, with half of its body embedded, the hilt facing them. This side of the hall had a bell, and the chiming sound the two heard earlier came from this bell.

Li Yifei noticed the blade, feeling a strong energy infused within it, not an evil aura. As he approached, the blade began to tremble slightly, as if becoming joyful. Li Yifei could even sense the blade’s emotions.

The presence of emotions meant this was no ordinary blade, unlike the swords he and Xu Shanshan carried, which couldn’t express emotions. They lacked a soul, naturally giving them no response.

"Do you feel the emotions from this blade?" Li Yifei asked Xu Shanshan quietly. She shook her head and replied, "No, I don’t."

"Then it looks like this blade is fated for me," Li Yifei smiled softly. He took a few steps forward and looked up at the half-embedded blade, which was about three meters above the ground. After a few seconds of silent observation, he stepped back.

Xu Shanshan, curious, asked, "Why don’t you pull out the blade, honey?"

It seemed as though Li Yifei didn’t hear her; he continued to look up at the sword, maintaining this posture for almost two minutes, before letting out a hearty laugh, leaving Xu Shanshan puzzled. After his laughter, Li Yifei said, "I see, I see. Haha!"

"What’s going on?" Xu Shanshan asked again.

Li Yifei turned to look at Xu Shanshan, smiled, and said, "I’ll explain later, let’s see how I claim a peerless weapon!"

What? Xu Shanshan’s eyes widened, more confused than ever. How was he going to claim a peerless weapon? Could the blade embedded in the wall be extremely powerful? At this point, Xu Shanshan couldn’t figure out what kind of blade was in front of them, and Li Yifei’s moment of daze wasn’t actually a daze but a communication with the blade.

Indeed, he was communicating with the blade. Initially, Li Yifei didn’t know how to start, but as he moved closer, he suddenly felt the blade conveying some information. By calming his mind to sense it, Li Yifei quickly understood the blade’s intentions.

Realization dawned on Li Yifei after the communication; he felt a burst of joy understanding the blade’s intention from their brief exchange.

He slowly raised his right hand, infusing it with True Qi, and said to Xu Shanshan, "Watch over the surroundings for me."

After instructing her, Li Yifei released his spirit with a forceful shout, "Blade, come!"

Seeing Li Yifei’s actions, Xu Shanshan realized what he was about to do, having witnessed something similar once before with Su Lio. As Li Yifei shouted for the blade, the one embedded in the wall began to tremble, emitting a buzzing sound. The vibrations started small, eventually escalating to a resounding roar. Had Xu Shanshan not been mentally prepared, witnessing such a change in the blade suddenly might have alarmed her.

Li Yifei was brimming with confidence, raising his right hand, his eyes fixed on the blade. He already felt the blade’s ecstatic joy, delighted to be awakened by him.

It seemed like mere seconds had passed when a gust of wind was heard, followed by a thunderous sound. The blade, embedded in the wall for who knows how many years, suddenly flew straight towards Li Yifei, its blade aimed at him. Were it not for his knowledge, Li Yifei would have felt a chill in his heart, but at this moment he was not worried. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

The blade flew like lightning, reaching Li Yifei in an instant with an unmatched strength. Yet it did not actually strike Li Yifei but circled twice in front of them in an instant, almost as if in the blink of an eye. The tip pointed forward as its handle rested firmly in Li Yifei’s hand.

"Good blade, hahaha!" Li Yifei closed his five fingers around the handle, laughing loudly, feeling triumphant. Upon gripping the handle, Li Yifei quickly established a connection with the blade, confirming it was indeed an extraordinary weapon—not only with a soul but an intelligent one.

With the blade in hand, Li Yifei’s aura transformed. True Qi flowed unhindered into the blade, emitting a white mist—the blade energy formed by condensed True Qi. Xu Shanshan had to move a few steps aside, feeling immense pressure, for without resisting with True Qi, she’d feel unable to withstand it.

Holding the blade, Li Yifei felt a great enhancement. Previously, Li Yifei was strong, but his martial prowess couldn’t compare to the excitement of possessing a fine weapon, an exhilaration that could not be calming down soon.

Of course, his heart remained sorrowful, for he had to end the lives of Seventh Brother and Ninth Brother himself. It was a choice he had to make since, without ending their lives, they would soon become complete monsters, permanently remaining here.

When Su Lio acquired the Mohist War Sword, Li Yifei felt some envy, but since it belonged to one of his own, and Su Lio no less, he had no other thoughts. Now, with this blade, Li Yifei couldn’t help but rejoice.

It’s true that, when seeking something high and low, effortless success often comes unexpectedly. Li Yifei never dreamt that this blade would be the legendary Mohist War Blade, one found only in tales.

Li Yifei was truly unsure if luck or some other word could describe this feeling. Arriving at this dangerous island, he hadn’t expected to encounter the Mohist War Blade, let alone have it choose him as its master instantly.

Li Yifei used True Qi to cut his finger, letting blood drip onto the Mohist War Blade’s body, which it absorbed immediately. He then felt a strong pull, drawing not only his blood but also absorbing True Qi. However, the Innate Vital Energy and Worms within his Dantian were repulsed by the blade. After completing the recognition, they immediately severed the blade’s greed, isolating it.

Even so, Li Yifei completely possessed the Mohist War Blade, enhancing his own strength.

Li Yifei joyfully shared this with Xu Shanshan, even learning the whole story from the Mohist War Blade.

Over a thousand years ago, the owner of the Mohist War Blade, a successor of that era’s Mohism, came to the island and personally vanquished the demonic force. However, the demonic force was not a legendary demon or ghost, but a man who was unwilling to die in mediocrity.

The information from the Mohist War Blade greatly shocked Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan. They both knew that through cultivation one could gain lasting life, even become immune to illnesses. If capable of continuous breakthroughs, life would extend longer—one hundred, two hundred years, or even longer. Murong Yuanqing and others spoke of this, yet they had not broken through, reaching a lifespan of about 150 years. Without breakthrough, they wouldn’t live long.

The island’s owner aspired to live a thousand years, nearly succeeding. Through special methods, he transferred his life and will onto other creatures. By special ways, he gathered various animals and plants meeting his requirements, expending countless manpower to achieve this method.

The Mohist War Blade’s previous owner accidentally arrived on the island, and recognizing the situation, was greatly angered. Mohism originated from a sage named Mo Di, from Song during the late Eastern Zhou Spring and Autumn Period, Early Warring States Period. He was the founder of the Mohist school and a renowned thinker, educator, scientist, and military strategist.

Mozi was the only philosopher of peasant origin in China’s history and founded Mohist teachings.

He proposed views such as "Universal Love", "Non-aggression", "Emphasizing Virtue", "Same Promotion", "Heavenly will", "Knowing Ghosts", "Anti-Fate", "Non-Happy", "Frugal Burial", "Frugal Use". With universal love as the core and frugal use and emphasizing virtue as fulcrums, Mozi established a comprehensive scientific theory, notably in geometry, physics, and optics during the Warring States Period. Amidst the era of diverse schools of thought, it was known as "Either Confucianism or Mohism".

Mohism branched into Xiangli’s Mohists, Xiangfu’s Mohists, and Dengling’s Mohists. His disciples collected historical records of Mozi’s life and completed "Mozi".
