Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 2098 - 2161: The Condemned

The man in the black robe with green eyes, that is, Li Yu, seemed very disappointed in his tone, but Li Yifei did not underestimate him. How could this guy, who harbored such great ambitions, suddenly be disheartened by the changing outside world?

So after listening to his words, Li Yifei just smiled faintly and said, "No problem, this way you can die in peace."

"But..." Li Yu paused here, then suddenly looked up and said to Li Yifei, "But I don’t want to die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yu suddenly lunged at Li Yifei. The half-length black robe moved extremely fast, and the two were only separated by a few meters, seemingly able to reach each other in an instant. Although Li Yifei was prepared, he was still caught off guard. The most crucial point was that the black robe wasn’t attacking him, but rather... a strong, invisible force collided with Li Yifei. Li Yifei felt as if he were suddenly placed on a chopping board, being squeezed from all directions, feeling as though his body might be crushed flat.

"Husband," Xu Shanshan hurriedly rushed over, but it was too late. The black robe seemed to pass through Li Yifei, the robe fell empty, while its contents directly drilled into Li Yifei’s body.

This guy actually wanted to seize him, making a desperate final struggle, and compared to his own body, Li Yifei’s body was truly the perfect alchemy furnace. As long as the seizing was successful, Li Yu could gain enhancement once again. Of course, this plan was good, but unfortunately, he met Li Yifei, who immediately understood what Li Yu intended to do and did not even resist.

Currently, there are three forces within his body, plus his own, so how could Li Yu easily seize him—that would indeed be unexpected.

Li Yifei was confident, and Li Yu was also confident, charging into Li Yifei’s body, preparing to seize, following his usual steps. But just as he was about to act, he immediately sensed three auras, one of which was somewhat familiar, a treasure he once obtained called the Shaking Light Mirror. Another was not unfamiliar—the weapon of that hateful person. The third was completely unknown to him.

These three forces unexpectedly launched an attack at the same time, on top of Li Yifei’s own power.

As these three forces attacked simultaneously, Li Yu felt something was wrong. The force was too strong, and crucially, all three forces regarded him as an enemy. Li Yu’s soul was originally just a small wisp, not his original soul. Although he had recovered some strength before, a lot was drained by Li Yifei. Now facing these three forces, Li Yu suddenly felt he could not resist.

Unfortunately, he had already abandoned the previous black robe and entered Li Yifei’s body, with no way to return now.

Li Yifei held a knife in one hand, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes. Seeing him like this, Xu Shanshan dared not touch him, simply standing guard beside him.

Seeing a trace of pain on Li Yifei’s face, Xu Shanshan grew nervous, but soon Li Yifei’s brows relaxed.

After just five or six minutes, Li Yifei’s eyebrows twitched, and he opened his eyes, seeing Xu Shanshan’s worried expression. Li Yifei exhaled a breath of turbid air and said, "Alright, it’s all settled."

Xu Shanshan was slightly skeptical; first she needed to verify that this was indeed the original Li Yifei, but how could she be sure? After pondering for a bit, Xu Shanshan said, "Husband, who is the current President of Nigeria?"

"Huh?" Li Yifei blinked, appearing a bit surprised and dazed, but Xu Shanshan urged, "Quick, answer me!"

"Uh... I don’t know, how could I know about such a small African country!" Li Yifei shook his head immediately.

His tone was correct, but the answer... Xu Shanshan was slightly dissatisfied, she then asked, "Are you sure you’re alright?"

"Of course I’m fine, how could that little wisp of Li Yu’s soul cause me any harm? Besides, if it were him, would he still be using this tone to talk to you now? Silly," Li Yifei understood Xu Shanshan’s intent and chuckled.

"Haha, that’s good, I’m just worried about you!" Xu Shanshan held Li Yifei’s hand and squeezed it.

Li Yifei also breathed a sigh of relief. Facing the possession of an unknown strong enemy, it was fake not to be nervous and scared. However, he had a trump card, so that guy did not succeed and was ultimately killed by the combined forces of three forces and Li Yifei’s own power. He was annihilated, and Li Yifei even learned part of Li Yu’s memory, confirming that he indeed only had this trace of soul essence, which was originally entrusted in the missing statue among the group of statues. This was Li Yu’s backup; initially preventing his own people from attacking him, but it let him escape a disaster then; otherwise, he would have been killed thousands of years ago.

This time, with one death, it’s a complete death, although he was supposed to die thousands of years ago.

Xu Shanshan also sat beside Li Yifei, both of them having survived the ordeal, though unscathed, they needed rest. Not far from them, the black robe lay silently, empty inside, contrary to the previous speculation that there was something inside. In fact, what was left inside was just a trace of Li Yu’s soul essence, and with its death, the robe was useless.

In fact, this thing was indeed a treasure, but it had already been cut off and damaged by Li Yifei’s sword. Even if Li Yu did not choose to possess, staying in this black robe would slowly dissipate unless he could absorb all life on the island for his own use and find a usable body to possess.

This is why Shen Tianfang and Zheng Feihu were controlled by those fungi to come to the great hall. In fact, there was no antidote; they had long been played by Li Yu unknowingly. When he woke up, finding someone on the island, he was ecstatic. But at that time, he was extremely weak, so he could only work in the dark, making Shen Tianfang and the others fall into the trap. And the first batch of team members, by the time Li Yu rushed over, were already dead, only the Carduelis spinus hadn’t died, temporarily seized by Li Yu, but the body was too weak and had poor aptitude, making it impossible for Li Yu to stay for long.

At this point, a series of questions were unravelled. This island was created by Li Yu, turned into his private palace. Later, due to his "great" aspirations, his subordinates either died for his dream or were killed by him. Behind the great hall is where these people are buried, which is extremely tragic.

The light of life extinguished like a lamp, Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan returned to the courtyard to find Seventh Brother and Ninth Brother’s corpses, discovering they had severely deformed, transformed entirely by the rapidly growing fungi. Even though they died, the fungi continued to develop and grow, absorbing nutrients. Li Yifei saluted and decided to return with others to take all the warriors’ bodies back home.

As for the dangerous monsters scattered around, and the animals crafted and changed by Li Yu, most are probably dead. Even if some luckily survived, Li Yifei, knowing how to manipulate them from Li Yu’s memory, faces no danger.

It’s just a pity for those people, Li Yifei sighed inwardly.

For Li Yifei personally, the Worm suffered heavy losses in this battle, plunging into a slumber again, and his Dantian energy also consumed about one-fifth, leaving a substantial amount. If used sparingly, Li Yifei won’t need to worry for a while.

As for the soul within the Mohist War Blade, it also needs cultivating. Such a weapon with a soul can be considered a Divine Weapon to some extent, as it possesses inherent strength. The holder can use it with little control, but without continuous cultivation, even a Divine Weapon will deplete. Cultivating isn’t difficult; True Qi can be used, or placing it in a rich area for its soul to restore. This battle seemed not too dangerous, only because Li Yu’s wispy soul encountered Li Yifei and the Mohist War Blade, otherwise, even a few of Li Yifei’s calibre might not win, possibly defeated entirely.

Previously, both were encircled by those monsters, induced by Li Yu from the shadows as he couldn’t fully control the animals then, only influencing a portion. Otherwise, more trouble would have befallen them.

Thinking of this, Li Yifei couldn’t help but sigh. Leaving the courtyard, Xu Shanshan asked, "Where are we heading next? Towards the seaside?" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"No, let’s collect some items first." Li Yifei shook his head, pointing to the great hall, "Li Yu left some treasures here, let’s retrieve them."

"Okay." Mentioning treasure, Xu Shanshan was intrigued, pulling Li Yifei’s hand heading towards the great hall. Both bypassed the hall, seeing the scene behind it. Despite mental preparedness, Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan still felt shocked, no, not just shocked, but also a touch of fear.

Behind the hall was another square, much larger than the one before the hall. On the square, countless people sat, of all ages, dressed in historical clothing, some bare-chested, with long hair, both men and women. All sat cross-legged, some with eyes open, some with eyes closed, some shedding tears silently, some ecstatic, and others struggling like they were unwilling. Regardless of expressions, age, or gender, they were all dead, frozen in time.

Everyone maintained their posture, in a dense group of over a thousand people, creating a scene that shocked and amazed, even leaving Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan, who have seen much life and death, feeling disbelief and difficulty in accepting.

Even having witnessed cruel human pits filled with white bones, attracting outraged condemnation, those remain bones. Yet on this square, those sitting are variously dressed individuals, who perhaps were alive moments before suddenly losing life.
