Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1359 - 1409: Furious to the Point of Vomiting Blood
Chapter 1359: Chapter 1409: Furious to the Point of Vomiting Blood
Bunong was a bit conflicted about whether to call Li Yifei back. But as he hesitated, the battle had already begun. The opponent unleashed the Sacred Beetle, having no intention of using it to plant a worm in Li Yifei. The Sacred Beetle’s formidable attack capability made it disdain the use of poison; instead, it directly charged at the opponent.
Tianbao had once witnessed the Sacred Beetle directly attacking a wild boar. The boar, with its thick skin, couldn’t withstand the fierce onslaught of the Sacred Beetle. Ultimately, it was struck on the back of the head and died convulsively. The Sacred Beetle then used its pincers to pry open the boar’s skull and feasted inside.
Therefore, in Tianbao’s mind, he imagined the Sacred Beetle cracking open Li Yifei’s skull to consume his brain.
The Sacred Beetle lay quietly on Tianbao’s hand, occasionally flapping its wings. There were still three holes visible on the beetle’s shell, inflicted by the three steel needles Li Yifei had shot out.
Tianbao couldn’t fathom the immense strength required to pierce the beetle’s shell, but it must have been tremendous.
"Go!" Tianbao whispered softly, reluctant yet forced to comply to please the Song Family.
The Sacred Beetle took off. As a Worm Breeder, Tianbao directly commanded the worm, which had no choice but to obey. This was the usual scenario, but... the scene before him left the confident Tianbao suddenly stunned.
Nearly a thousand people at the site were in awe and fear of the Sacred Beetle, but not everyone was terrified. For example, Na Yi had a real Worm King now and had experienced yesterday’s events, so she wasn’t afraid. Neither was Li Yifei himself; even if the Sacred Beetle attacked him again, he had the experience to handle it. As for Song An, he had no awareness of what was happening behind him, experiencing the internal effects of the worm planted inside him.
The clan chiefs weren’t quite fearful either. Although Worm Kings hadn’t appeared in a long time, the village archives recorded many instances.
However, even such a terrifying Sacred Beetle, bearing the countless hopes of the Heimiao Clan, stopped abruptly while charging fiercely towards Li Yifei, let out a sharp cry, and then flew back desperately. It quickly disappeared from everyone’s sight.
The Sacred Beetle, being half a step away from becoming a Worm King, could control a vast territory. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have flown from the Black Miao Village to the Butterfly Tomb. As it flew in the air, it completely ignored Tianbao’s instructions, and after flying a distance, Tianbao lost control entirely.
His flushed face turned even redder, his complexion changed, and he spat out a mouthful of black blood, collapsing forward. Fortunately, a tribesman nearby was quick to catch him; otherwise, he might have fallen hard.
With him in trouble, the Black Miao side fell into chaos, creating a commotion while no one paid attention to Song An, who was leisurely walking back.
Li Yifei hadn’t expected that the Sacred Beetle wouldn’t dare to fight him at all. The moment it recognized him, it fled directly, thus theoretically making the third round a win for the White Miao. After all, even the Sacred Beetle didn’t dare to attack, let alone a half-step Worm King or other worms.
In fact, this was because Li Yifei carried the aura of Worm King Xiaowu, an aura that all worms would submit to, so the Sacred Beetle dared not contend with Li Yifei. Its ability to escape was thanks to being not too far from becoming a Worm King; otherwise, it would’ve fallen to the ground trembling.
Upon realizing this, Li Yifei couldn’t help but purse his lips and gently blew a breath, feeling a sense of the solitude of a hero as he turned to walk back, just in time to encounter Song An. Li Yifei stopped, a mischievous smile appearing on his face.
Song An’s heart skipped a beat under his gaze. He had just pressed a button he carried with him, a device designed to send signals, meant to execute a pre-discussed plan upon pressing.
"Is this the extent of the Song Family’s courage?" Li Yifei slightly frowned, looking at him and said.
Song An forced himself to stay calm and replied, "Li Yifei, we are at an irreconcilable standstill. Just wait, I won’t let you have an easy time!"
After speaking, Song An was about to leave, but Li Yifei chuckled softly, suddenly aimed a kick at Song An’s lower back, sending him sprawling face-first into the ground.
Li Yifei was about to make his next move when a distant rumbling echoed, the sound still far off, but upon hearing it, Li Yifei’s expression changed. The other side had actually deployed a helicopter.
"Uncle Bunong, lead the tribe members to retreat!" Li Yifei hurriedly shouted towards the White Miao side. After shouting, he ran a few steps, grabbing the crawling Song An who was attempting to flee on all fours.
"Let go of me, let go of me!" With Li Yifei stepping on him, Song An only managed to utter a muffled sound before losing consciousness. Li Yifei kicked him away again and then bent down, charging forward like a leopard. A helicopter had just skimmed over the mountain peak; Li Yifei only glanced at it, his hatred for the Song Family growing. They had dispatched an armed helicopter against him, such battle equipment that couldn’t be casually mobilized. The Song Family had truly gone all out to kill him.
Even if they succeeded in killing him, the indiscriminate deployment of an armed helicopter would likely cause plenty of trouble for the Song Family.
The armed helicopter was fully loaded with weapons, and from the sound of the aircraft, Li Yifei could discern subtle differences. The first task was to quickly evacuate these Miao People to avoid innocent casualties. Li Yifei was unsure if the people in the helicopter would attack indiscriminately or if they were only coming for him.
Li Yifei was relieved when he saw that the machine guns on the helicopter were aimed at the Miao People but did not open fire, seemingly searching for a target. Hiding behind a tree, he saw Na Yi still there and quickly shouted, "Na Yi, you all leave first. Uncle Bunong, take Na Yi away. I’ll come find you once I solve this problem."
Bunong heard this and reluctantly nodded towards Li Yifei. He knew these outsiders were after his son-in-law, so he forcefully grabbed Na Yi and led the clansmen to escape. Chaos erupted on the side of the Black Miao as they fled in all directions.
No one paid attention to the unconscious Song An, kicked by Li Yifei. Seeing Bunong and Na Yi escape, Li Yifei also started running. After just a few steps, he saw another helicopter turning the corner over the mountaintop ahead of him.
This helicopter was civilian, slightly smaller in size, and flying at a low altitude, allowing Li Yifei to see the people inside aiming their guns below, also searching for him.
Luckily, the forest at this time was dense, providing good cover for Li Yifei. However, the armed helicopter flew towards Na Yi and her group. To ensure their maximum safety, Li Yifei shouted loudly, made a provocative gesture, and drew the attention of one of the helicopters.
"He’s over there, quick, turn around!" The person holding a gun inside the civilian helicopter saw Li Yifei and hurriedly tapped the pilot, urging a turn, all while keeping his eyes on Li Yifei’s figure.
The pilot communicated with the military helicopter opposite, which then slowly landed, lifting Song An onto the aircraft before taking off again in pursuit of Li Yifei.
Li Yifei had already reached the peak of Miao Gorge, with perilous cliffs behind it. Having observed the terrain when he arrived, Li Yifei knew these people would take any means necessary, even using military helicopters to kill him. Yet, he had no choice but to come up with a strategy as he was unarmed.
His figure flickered amidst the forest. While planes could catch up to him, their weapons couldn’t hit him. Several strafing attempts all missed Li Yifei as he leapt and dashed like a monkey with extraordinary speed and randomness, offering no chance to shoot.
Soon, Li Yifei climbed to the summit, the back a steep precipice. It was as though he was unaware, his feet never stopping, finally revealing himself.
"Fire, shoot quickly!" Seeing Li Yifei fully exposed, the person on the civilian helicopter excitedly shouted, having pursued Li Yifei for half the day and finally spotting his flaw. From either side, they hurriedly mounted their machine guns and shot towards Li Yifei.
Li Yifei glanced back and suddenly, like a leopard, sprang towards the cliff.
Bullets whizzed by without hitting their target as people glanced at each other in disbelief.
"Chase, alive or dead, we must have him!" one person commanded.
The helicopter ascended a few meters, continuing forward just as it was about to soar over the mountaintop and approach the cliffside. A dark figure suddenly flipped up.
Li Yifei wasn’t foolish; he had no intention of jumping off a cliff. He only wanted to seize the opportunity to jump onto the helicopter. Otherwise, no matter how high he leaped, he couldn’t reach the aircraft. As the helicopter cleared the peak and let down its guard, flying three or four meters above the summit, this gave Li Yifei the chance he needed.
Hanging by the cliff edge initially, he saw the helicopter draw near and with a powerful thrust, jumped from the cliff, using the momentum to leap high.
Grabbing the helicopter’s landing skids with one hand, Li Yifei swung lightly and hooked both feet on, securing himself from falling. Using his waist’s strength, he swiftly pulled himself up.
The gunman seated there was startled, wanting to alert the others on the helicopter, but it was too late. He couldn’t even fire a shot before the gun was snatched away by this deadly figure, his body jerked and thrown out.
By this time, the helicopter had already flown over the peak, with a sheer cliff hundreds of meters below. Li Yifei directly flung him out, giving him one final high-altitude bungee jump before life’s end.
With a single shot, Li Yifei knocked down the gunman on the other side. Unable to control his body, the man fell out as well, taking a turn at high-altitude bungee jumping. Even if the bullet didn’t kill him, a fall from this height would surely leave him in pieces.
In the blink of an eye, only the pilot remained on the aircraft. Realizing the dire situation, he was helpless. Li Yifei suddenly leaped into the helicopter and swiftly applied a chokehold, snapping the pilot’s neck with a crack.
The helicopter quickly went out of control, but Li Yifei remained unfazed. With force, he pulled the pilot out and threw him out too, then smoothly slid into the pilot’s seat and began to operate it skillfully.
