Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 2094 - 2157: Black Robe, Green Eyes

"Who are you?" Li Yifei gripped the Mohist War Blade, warily watching the other.

The figure opposite was astonishingly tall, shrouded entirely in a black robe, obscuring its features, with a pair of eerie green eyes that seemed to come from hell itself, filling anyone who met its gaze with dread. It stood silently, without a word or a motion, but emanated an evil aura that made one’s heart tremble and chills run down one’s spine.

Because you couldn’t know what lay beneath that black robe, nor what its intentions were. Especially after encountering those bizarre creatures on the island, Li Yifei’s fear toward this entity intensified.

Xu Shanshan’s reaction was much the same; if it weren’t for Li Yifei’s presence, she might have lost her calm long ago. Sword drawn, Xu Shanshan was ready for battle at any moment.

The creature opposite remained motionless, maintaining a bizarre posture. After a while of confrontation, Li Yifei decided to approach it, asking Xu Shanshan to stay where she was.

"I’ll go with you; if there’s danger, I can help," Xu Shanshan insisted.

Li Yifei didn’t refuse. After a few steps, he suddenly sensed something was off, as if a force was continuously gathering, and the figure in the black robe with green eyes was constantly inflating, breathing in and out, seemingly alive.

Extending his senses, Li Yifei could not detect the black robe and green eyes, even though it was right in front of them. Both he and Xu Shanshan could sense some energy gathering in the air, one stream, two streams, countless streams...

No, these energies were coming from all directions, converging on that black-robed, green-eyed figure ahead, countless energies pooling around it.

Recalling the message from the Mohist War Blade earlier, Li Yifei was immediately terrified. Wasn’t this exactly what the Mohist War Blade had talked about before? The villain Li Yu had brought a fortune to the island, initially fleeing, but after several days, he wanted to use a wicked method to achieve immortality...

Once reborn, all living creatures on the island would perish, and their power would facilitate Li Yu’s rebirth.

But Li Yu was rumored to be killed, wasn’t he? This was what the Mohist War Blade had said. Li Yifei didn’t have the time to ponder, but the increasingly gathering force indicated that the black-robed green eyes might very well be Li Yu or something similar. If this figure were to complete the ritual, gaining terrifying power, Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan would be in grave danger.

So, realizing this, Li Yifei immediately shouted, "Attack!"

Xu Shanshan was prepared and, upon hearing Li Yifei, immediately engaged, charging with Li Yifei towards the black-robed green eyes.

The black-robed green eyes quivered all over, the expansive robe vibrating like breath, those eerie green eyes fixating on the two rushing towards it. No motion was visible, yet as Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan advanced, they felt a colossal force pushing against them.

"Die!" Facing obstruction, Li Yifei instantly unleashed imposing might, orchestrating True Qi, while forcefully swinging the Mohist War Blade, releasing fierce blade energy.

The barely visible blade energy instantly surged before the black-robed green eyes, and with a distinct ’puff,’ the blade energy dissipated, yet the black-robed figure was somewhat affected, its rapid inflation paused momentarily.

It worked. Li Yifei’s eyes lit up; he swung his blade repeatedly, white blade energy continuously slashing at the black-robed green eyes, each strike landing multiple times. Seeing Li Yifei’s success, Xu Shanshan mimicked him, sending streams of sword energy at it.

"Roar!" Repeatedly harassed by Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan, the black-robed green eyes appeared irate, roaring aloud before suddenly halting its previous actions. The robe gradually retracted as Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan could discern its head raising.

That pair of green eyes, resembling nether fire, exuded sheer murderous intent. Only then did Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan notice the figure seemed to have never touched the ground, maintaining a constant state of flight—or rather, floating.

What lay beneath the black robe? Was it the absent statue, or something else?

"You..." The voice from the robe was cold, as if originating from the Nine Nether Hell, inducing a chill in bodies. The sound was unpleasant, akin to a knife scraping a pot bottom.

Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan ceased their attack, observing the speaking figure, then hearing it say, "You deserve death. I hadn’t planned to bother with you, yet you come to ruin my plans!"

"What exactly are you?" Li Yifei calmly inquired.

The black-robed green eyes seemingly ignored the question and continued, "Since you disturb me, then, I’ll just kill you first. I originally planned to use you as sacrifices."

"Sacrifice us for all beings? Are you insane?" Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan couldn’t help but think. Li Yifei replied, "Ugly creature, tell me who you really are. I don’t want to kill nameless beings."

"Who am I?" The voice of the black-robed, green-eyed figure changed slightly, as if it was confused by Li Yifei’s words and temporarily stalled, not replying for a while. Then... it started muttering to itself for a full minute before letting out a shrill scream, appearing very distressed, and its figure started to flicker.

It was truly flickering, as if in an instant it appeared within ten meters of the two, and then suddenly darted dozens of meters, even hundreds of meters away.

Li Yifei tightened his grip on the knife in his hand. When faced with monsters, he tried to communicate with the Mohist War Blade, but unfortunately, the blade seemed to have lost its consciousness and did not respond. Seeing this flickering monster, Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan thought of the monsters they had encountered before. Could this be one of those creatures?

Though speculating, facing a monster with nearly teleportation abilities required Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan to be even more cautious.

After flickering several times, the creature seemed to have figured out who it was. It sprang in front of the two and screeched, "I am the king, the only king! Haha, I am the king!"

"Who cares who you are!" The monster was only ten meters away from Li Yifei, and as he spoke, his body suddenly lunged forward, mercilessly slashing with the Mohist War Blade. Since this thing had once killed Li Yu’s body in Mo Ran’s hands, it would presumably cause harm to this monster too. Xu Shanshan also made her move, executing a sword strike like a bullet shot.

"I am the king! The only king in the world!" The monster seemed oblivious to both, letting out another howl as the two’s blades and swords reached its chest.

Bam bam, Li Yifei’s long knife was halted, the sharp tip rested in a void, producing no harm to the black-robed, green-eyed figure.

What? It was still susceptible to sword energy and blade energy just a moment ago, yet in the blink of an eye, it was impregnable? As Li Yifei wondered, he pulled Xu Shanshan back a few steps, watching as the monster hissed, gathering black energy around its body. These energies emanated from it, revolving speedily around its form.

"Careful!" Sensing the anomaly, Li Yifei grabbed Xu Shanshan, pulling her behind him, while swiftly swinging his blade, releasing several slashes of blade energy. Both then observed black energy cast out from the black-robed, green-eyed figure, targeting them.

Li Yifei blocked one part, with his blade energy hitting three strands of black energy, while two others still flew towards him.

Holding his breath, Li Yifei swung the blade again, blocking one strand of black energy, yet the force forced him to step back uncontrollably. Meanwhile, the other strand was too fast to dodge, almost striking him when Xu Shanshan’s sword careened forth behind him, deflecting it.

"This creature seems to continue gathering energies; we must find a way to disrupt it," Li Yifei realized. The creature’s talk of dealing with them first was merely a bluff; it was still absorbing energy flooding in from all directions.

Li Yifei could not tolerate this; the creature was already so fierce—if allowed to absorb fully, how could they continue? Especially given its sinister nature, deathly aura surrounding it, and the dark energy charged with cold and evil qi they had just encountered.

"Be careful; protect yourselves first." Li Yifei cautioned, then utilized his movements to entangle the creature, while Xu Shanshan seized the opportunity to unleash a surprise attack.

Blade energy slashed out repeatedly, and Li Yifei saw the blade energy affecting the black-robed, green-eyed figure, but direct slashes with the blade had little effect. Each strike from the blade energy visibly shook its form.

"Infuriating!" the black-robed, green-eyed figure roared, and a hand suddenly emerged from its robes, reaching toward Li Yifei. A human hand typically measures a meter, often just centimeters, yet this one suddenly extended several meters and continued lengthening, targeting Li Yifei.

Slightly surprised, Li Yifei hadn’t expected this thing to possess a retractable hand. Quickly he swung his knife, hearing clanging hits as the blade fell upon the hand, producing the sound of metal clashing.

Could it be so tough? Li Yifei slightly raised his eyebrows, then employed his movement technique to engage in a struggle with the hand.

Off on the other side, Xu Shanshan grasped Li Yifei’s plan and similarly positioned herself, wielding sword energy. However, she promptly encountered another issue—another rapid hand reached out, and if Xu Shanshan weren’t alert, she might have been caught.

Their intent was clear: to claim Li Yifei’s and Xu Shanshan’s lives.

Each hand carried black energy when grabbing, causing even clothes to decompose swiftly upon contact, sizzling audibly. Two handprints quickly formed on Li Yifei’s chest, unable to evade the grappling hands. Fortunately, True Qi for protection prevented direct injury or invasive damage from the black energy. Li Yifei hurriedly warned Xu Shanshan, suggesting she shouldn’t force it if unable to fight. Li Yifei would lose his cool if her delicate form were sullied by the hands.
