Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 2100 - 2163: Reappearance

Phew, the scene quieted down. Xu Shanshan took it for granted, while for the newcomers, it was unbelievable. Everyone knew how formidable Wu Yong’s saber was; maybe it couldn’t slice through iron like mud, but it was close. Yet, the man on the other side chopped this treasured blade in two with a single swing?

This can’t be a joke, or perhaps it’s a rather extreme one. The opponent only used one move, and it was too quick to see clearly, while Wu Yong took quite a long time from starting his swing. It’s pretty clear who’s stronger.

Li Yifei’s expression remained unchanged, and so did Xu Shanshan’s, but the faces of the opposing group looked drastically different. They initially thought these two might be formidable but not too far above them. Yet, this one strike...

Damn, who are these two? Wu Yong looked at the treasured saber, now only a hilt in his hand, and felt like crying without tears. It was just one move, yet he was defeated. How could this be? Though he had been careless, thinking of just striking down the other when he saw no attempt to dodge. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone down like this in a normal exchange.

But it’s too late to say anything now; the result is set.

"Still want to compete?" Li Yifei tilted his head and looked at Wu Yong.

Wu Yong held it in for a while, looking at the saber in Li Yifei’s hand, and said, "Is that the treasure you got from there?"

"That’s right!" Li Yifei raised an eyebrow and admitted.

Everyone showed a look of greed. The things here were indeed superior. Who would have expected that even a random weapon could be so domineering? And what else might be inferior? Thinking this way, they didn’t show fear but rather grew more fervent. Wu Yong glared at Li Yifei and turned back. This man wielded a divine weapon, something he couldn’t contend with. Fortunately, among the five, Wu Yong was the weakest, and the woman was the strongest.

"Indeed impressive. No wonder you’re so confident," the woman stepped forward. Her phoenix eyes flirtatiously glanced at Li Yifei, her walk becoming a sway.

Charm Art? Li Yifei’s eyes narrowed. With his current cultivation, aside from his family or a woman he cared about, few women could enchant him, unless he allowed it. And this woman using Charm Art on him now? Li Yifei wouldn’t fall into that trap. He casually said, "Let’s skip this move. If you keep using it, you’ll suffer backlash and get hurt."

The woman’s face changed. She hadn’t expected her charm technique to be seen through immediately. Without this reminder, she might indeed have suffered a backlash. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Xu Shanshan let out a disdainful snort from behind, expressing her dissatisfaction as if saying to Li Yifei, "Why warn her? Let her suffer the backlash."

"Thanks, but what exactly did you obtain? To be honest, we’re members of Noah’s Ark. If there’s no past enmity, I’d rather not make enemies now. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Dan Feng’er!" The woman introduced herself.

Li Yifei didn’t have any extra thoughts about her. Upon hearing this, he merely nodded lightly. However, his heart was turbulent. These people turned out to be from Noah’s Ark. Ever since that Korean disappeared, Li Yifei hadn’t encountered anyone from Noah’s Ark for a long time. He even thought they’d vanished or gone low-key. Yet, unexpectedly, they appeared here.

Li Yifei showed little emotion and said, "Named Dan Feng’er just because you have phoenix eyes? Quite a fitting name."

"Giggle, sir, you speak quite interestingly. But since I’ve introduced myself, won’t you tell me your name too?" Dan Feng’er seemed to have no guard against Li Yifei, stopping four or five meters in front of him, her hands hanging casually, her body relaxed.

"Forget the name. I’m afraid it’ll scare you if I say it!" Li Yifei shook his head.

"No need to be so tense. You’ve already demonstrated your strength. If we tried to take it by force, it wouldn’t end well for us either. Honestly, we’re here searching for something, and we only want that. The money and jewels on this island are of no interest to us!" Dan Feng’er paused, glanced at Xu Shanshan, then continued, "So, can you tell us what exactly you acquired? If it’s the thing we’re seeking, everything’s negotiable. Given your skills, you must know Noah’s Ark. We’re known for our credibility. We can make an exchange."

"Oh, what are you looking for?" Li Yifei naturally had no good impression of Noah’s Ark, but this woman was smart, avoiding further provocation and opting for a gentle approach. Hence, Li Yifei didn’t turn hostile.

Dan Feng’er didn’t expect Li Yifei to be so unyielding, refusing even to reveal his name. But she wasn’t worried. She’d already memorized the couple’s appearance. Once she returned, she could draw it, and it wouldn’t take long to discover their identities, allowing her to reclaim the item.

Despite her thoughts, Dan Feng’er hadn’t planned to let Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan go. No matter how strong one is, they are alone. Among their group, five first-rate experts came to the island on a mission. At worst, they’d surround one with four and leave the woman to another.

Dan Feng’er’s plan was sound; however, she could never have guessed that the seemingly delicate, beautiful woman was also a top-tier martial artist.

After a while, Dan Feng’er giggled, covering her mouth with one hand, refraining from using the Charm Art, and said, "Honestly, we’re looking for a secret manual."

"Oh? What kind of manual?" Li Yifei asked.

"It’s rumored the island’s master possessed unrivaled martial prowess and a manual with techniques for eternal life. Mastering it would grant immortality!" Dan Feng’er said while observing Li Yifei’s eyes and reaction. But, frustratingly, his expression remained impassive.

Could it be he doesn’t have it? Dan Feng’er wondered, watching his expression. She was skilled at reading others and, even if she misjudged, could assess through subtle changes like heartbeats, especially at this close distance. But the man before her was unchanged in expression, gaze, breathing, and heartbeat.

Trying to spy on me! Li Yifei internally sneered. He was also sensitive to such things and quickly realized what she intended. He let out a "Oh," and asked, "Does such a technique truly exist?"

"Of course!" Dan Feng’er nodded and continued, "Why else would we risk coming to this island? How about it? Show us what you’ve got. If we find that technique, our organization is willing to pay anything. If not, we won’t take anything else, and we’ll ensure your safe departure from the island."

"Ha!" Li Yifei chuckled at her words, shaking his head and pointing to Wu Yong, whose weapon he had cut down, now useless. "Do you think he’d agree?"

Wu Yong’s breathing quickened at the reminder of his shattered treasured saber, his heart still aching. He was about to rush forward, but Dan Feng’er shot him a glare, and he immediately backed down, snorting and lowering his head.

Turning back, Dan Feng’er had an engaging smile as she said, "Rest assured, I can guarantee that won’t happen."

"Forget it, I won’t argue with you. I don’t know what you’re looking for. I did find a manual, but it’s a swordplay manual, not what you’re after. As for other techniques, oh, I remember. Before you arrived, I accidentally destroyed one. Really, not my fault, but a paper book left for hundreds of years turns to dust upon touch." Li Yifei shrugged, sounding slightly lazy.

"What?" Dan Feng’er’s phoenix eyes widened, and she said, "How could you destroy it!"

"Watch your attitude. We arrived first and defeated the evil being here, so we’re entitled to claim first rights. You’re latecomers, so follow the rules!" Li Yifei’s tone turned cold.

Paying no heed, Dan Feng’er executed her movement technique and flashed to the dead bodies, quickly locating the pile of ash. She was unsure what manual it was, but their intel couldn’t be wrong. They hadn’t arrived late, practically landing concurrently with Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan. Li and Xu had been just as strained initially, having encountered a massive adversary, barely escaping the danger. Meanwhile, their group of seven was reduced to five due to various creatures encountered. Their monk, adept at formations, helped avoid some monsters, but they were still out of luck, arriving slightly later... only to find the treasure already taken.

Seeing the ashes, Dan Feng’er felt her mood sour. She nearly drew her sword but restrained herself, stepping back in front of Li Yifei. Her face had lost its smile, now exuding an aura.

Li Yifei couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. He didn’t realize this woman was an Innate Expert, seemingly born with Innate Qi, like Xu Shanshan and Jiang Ningxiang. With minimal training, she surpassed others’ years of effort. Such individuals are rare, but if not discovered, they might lose their innate qi young and waste their potential.
