Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 2099 - 2162: Three Treasures

All of these are to allow one person to achieve "Immortality", to obtain something elusive and intangible!

"Damn it, damn him!" Li Yifei muttered to himself. Xu Shanshan’s face was also pale, showing her inability to accept it. Her lips trembled, but she didn’t follow Li Yifei’s words. From the memory Li Yifei obtained, he only remembered Li Yu’s treasure was placed behind the hall, and didn’t expect he put those things in the place where a thousand people were buried, and it seemed to be among those people.

Once people die, they’re gone. Why drag others with them? Li Yifei could no longer bear to look at the poems and songs he learned, as the fallen king of a ruined country had done such despicable acts...

Li Yifei truly didn’t know what to say, and Xu Shanshan was equally speechless, unable to accept it. Although burial sacrifices were a normal thing in ancient times, where even gentlemen would be accompanied by others in death, expecting to be served and accompanied even after death, this method was truly infuriating to both humans and gods.

Standing here, they waited for their emotions to calm before moving inside. These people died here, and Li Yifei naturally couldn’t bury each one individually. In fact, he couldn’t even bury Seventh Brother and Ninth Brother, let alone these people.

They maintained their expressions from when they were alive, with their emotions still shown on their faces.

Li Yu’s treasure, aside from gold and silver, also included several secret manuals. One of them was called the "Heavenly Performance Code", which was his method of using countless lives to make himself immortal. After Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan took it from the center of the plaza, they immediately destroyed it. Such things should never exist in the world, especially after seeing the plight of those innocent people. Some might have willingly sacrificed for Li Yu, but it certainly couldn’t represent everyone’s will. No matter how you look at it, this thing harms people, and it’s normal not to leave it in the world.

Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan shared the same thoughts. Even if one day they reached the end of their lives, they would never use such methods to prolong their life, even if it meant using the lives of enemies, it was still inappropriate.

Of course, it doesn’t mean the two would stop there. The path of cultivation has no end, and the saying "Life never stops, neither does cultivation" reflects this idea.

Destroying this item was also an explanation for their journey to the island, and another secret manual was a swordsmanship manual, which was naturally to be given to Xu Shanshan. Li Yu had previously paid a significant price to obtain it, intending to give it to Empress Zhu for her to practice, so that the unparalleled beauty could perform sword dances for His Majesty Li Yu’s enjoyment.

Keep this one; it will enrich the family legacy, and was originally meant for women to practice the sword art anyway.

In addition to that, most of the items were heavenly treasures, but after so many years, many of them were obsolete, so Li Yifei did not want them. As he prepared to leave, he found a piece of jade, which felt warm in his hands and soon made his body heat up. Realizing he couldn’t find out from Li Yu’s memory what the jade pendant was, he thought it might be of use to Su Lio. Her body was cold and her meridians were blocked; wearing warm jade could help maintain her body and at least make winter less unbearable.

Now it’s winter outside, and Ying City should be quite cold. Although the Li family’s area is like spring year-round, once you leave home, there’s no guarantee of that.

Altogether, these were the only three items Li Yifei took, leaving everything else behind as he walked out of the burial area. Just as he was about to return to the hall, he suddenly saw several people walking towards them.

More people? Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan stopped and looked at the five people approaching. There were men and women, tall and short, thin and fat, each carrying weapons, including swords and strange-looking weapons, and there seemed to be a monk among them, holding a Vajra that moved with fierce energy.

The five of them walked briskly, and upon turning a corner to see Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan, they froze. The leading woman immediately changed her expression and shouted at them, "Who are you, and who allowed you to enter here?"

"Who are you?" Li Yifei asked back with an unchanged expression. Seeing this group here and hearing their unfamiliar Huaxia dialect, Li Yifei didn’t feel the need to be polite since they were not.

"They’ve been inside already; they probably got the treasure, so there’s no need to be polite. Let’s just take action," said a tall man beside the woman. He had scars on both sides of his mouth, seemingly deliberately split apart, and they had healed but still looked ugly, moving as if two worms were crawling when he spoke, giving a frightening impression.

The woman nodded and said to Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan, "Hand over the stuff now, and we won’t pursue this."

Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan exchanged a glance. Neither felt any dangerous aura from these people, or rather, although these people weren’t weak, they were far inferior to the black-robed green-eyed Li Yu. In other words, even combined, these people didn’t pose half the threat Li Yu did, so their threat to Li Yifei was practically nonexistent.

Li Yifei chuckled lightly and said, "What if we don’t give it to you?"

"Then don’t blame us for being rude anymore. When we first saw compatriots here, we felt a bit sympathetic. Since you don’t want that, let’s see how you fare." The woman said.

"Hahaha." Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan both laughed, shaking their heads in unison, "Come on, let me see how you plan to take action."

"Arrogant!" The tall man immediately grew displeased. He drew his knife, pointing it towards Li Yifei and angrily shouted, "I guarantee I’ll chop you into meat paste, letting you stay here forever!"

Starting with threats after a brief exchange was rare, but Li Yifei had met several of these people before, who ended up quite miserable. Looking at this man, Li Yifei showed a trace of sympathy in his eyes, unable to resist asking, "So, you definitely want to kill us?"

"No, it’s not about killing you; it’s about the stuff you got. We’ve been outside killing monsters with great effort, finally clearing them all out, only to let you two reap the benefits first. How is that fair?" The woman also smiled. To be honest, she had some beauty herself, and if not for this attire, she might rate a seven or eight, but unfortunately, this appearance destroyed that beauty.

Xu Shanshan laughed aloud and said, "Ridiculous! You act as if killing monsters outside is such a great achievement. Aunty, if you want to fight, then fight. Don’t spout nonsense. We’ve come all the way here and killed countless monsters, and talking about achievements, you’re way behind us."

"Little girl, you sure have a sharp tongue, don’t worry, I won’t kill you. I always have a tolerance for beautiful women, I’ll take you back to the island and cherish you well." It was the woman speaking, not the tall man.

If the man had said such words, Li Yifei would have immediately taken action, but since the woman said it, his tolerance increased slightly, yet still he felt annoyed. Thus, he drew his knife while Xu Shanshan unsheathed her sword, and they slowly approached.

"Hold on." Seeing the two seemingly ready to fight, the woman felt strange because their manner indicated a certain confidence. So she asked, "Which sect do you belong to?"

"No sects, but you all are certainly peculiar and boastful." Li Yifei replied.

"Then let’s see who’s truly skilled!" Saying this, the monk and the tall man stepped forward, saying, "I will do it myself."

Since the woman didn’t act, Li Yifei let Xu Shanshan watch the show while he alone wielded his sword and walked over.

"Boy, you’re arrogant indeed. I’ll teach you how to behave!" The tall man charged with his sword, shouting, "Remember, I’m Mad Blade Wu Yong."

Mad Blade Wu Yong? Haha, Li Yifei couldn’t help but laugh, watching as the man took an arrow-like step, rapidly approaching. His movement wasn’t slow, but all his actions were too slow, at least in Li Yifei’s eyes, so facing the incoming slash, Li Yifei seemed to respond sluggishly, or even not at all.

Not even raising his sword, what arrogance, Wu Yong grew furious, thinking Li Yifei was provoking him. So, as he slashed, he added three points of strength, using all his power, with a seeming intent to slice Li Yifei from head to toe.

But within a fraction of a second, Li Yifei moved. Initially, standing with the knife tip down, suddenly raising it upward, everyone saw a flash of light, seemingly a hallucination because, in the next moment, Li Yifei returned to his original stance, and the white light definitely existed because following it, Wu Yong’s movement suddenly stopped. After descending, his sword didn’t hit Li Yifei. Although his arm’s swing completed, it missed Li Yifei entirely, as though he used a feint to outsmart him.

What’s happening? I clearly swung my sword at him, and as planned, this strike should have slashed down from his head, right through his forehead, cutting him in half.

But... Wu Yong’s eyes bulged as he suddenly looked at his sword. This cherished blade of Wu Yong now only had the handle remaining, with the rest inexplicably gone, as if there never was a blade.

Where is the blade? Wu Yong instinctively looked for it. This wasn’t some cheap kitchen knife with a blade that could fly off. This was a treasured sword—how could this happen?

"Clang!" A sound echoed, as a broken sword fell over ten meters away from Wu Yong, hitting the ground, creating the sound.
