Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1450 - 1499 Peak Duel

Murong Yuanqing looked at Li Yifei with a strange expression, chuckled, and said somewhat irreverently, "At present, I can only think like this, unless I tell you not to go, going is simply a death sentence."

Li Yifei gave a dry laugh, shook his head, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and looked at the gentle smoke rising from the small stove in front of him.

Murong Yuanqing saw him silent and fell silent too. What he said earlier was meant to build confidence for Li Yifei. If he had to assess the danger for Li Yifei’s journey, he could only say a "nine lives, one death," which was already a high estimate.

Because Yanagio Inujiro’s goal was to kill Li Yifei, nothing else.

The other few estimated for Li Yifei was a "ten deaths, no life," which meant no return.

Due to Murong Yuanqing’s relationship, even those hermits who hadn’t met Li Yifei felt this junior was good and didn’t want to see him die, but they were powerless unless they intervened personally.

Yet they weren’t acquainted enough, nor could they easily leave the country, or else Korea’s two masters might obstruct them.

Murong Yuanqing finally couldn’t hold back, slammed the teacup heavily on the table, stood up, and said, "Come on, let me see your skills, give it your all."

Li Yifei’s lips curved into a smile, quickly stood up, steadied his chest, muscles tensed, and said heartily, "Alright, Elder Murong, forgive my boldness."

Murong Yuanqing flashed out of the room, Li Yifei followed suit.

This was already the beginning, so both raised their speeds to the maximum.

Age truly wasn’t a barrier to top masters; Murong Yuanqing used some unknown technique, unexpectedly faster than Li Yifei by half a step. In a flash, they arrived on the lawn outside the villa.

There weren’t many people here, so even if they fought fiercely, they wouldn’t frighten ordinary people.

Murong Yuanqing abruptly stopped, turned with hands behind his back, looked at Li Yifei, nodded in appreciation, and said, "The movement is decent, neither too fast nor too slow."

Li Yifei also stopped abruptly, feet landing lightly on the ground, smiled slightly, and replied, "Elder Murong, your ’neither fast nor slow,’ I don’t know whether I should be happy or sad."

Murong Yuanqing’s beard twitched, said, "Haha, no need to be sad, it’s already very fast. Just a bit slower than me, but I started earlier, naturally a step ahead."

Finished speaking, Li Yifei felt a bit displeased, but before he could speak, Murong Yuanqing continued, "Come on, let’s treat it as a life-and-death battle."

Li Yifei put away his smile, having no contempt in his heart, he understood Murong Yuanqing’s good intentions, naturally wouldn’t let him waste his efforts. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Closing his eyes, his True Qi rapidly adjusted, rotating within the Dantian, True Qi suddenly burst forth, pressing toward Murong Yuanqing.

Murong Yuanqing nodded lightly, not having seen him for some time, Li Yifei’s cultivation improved, his control over True Qi stronger, this was growth. Meanwhile, Murong Yuanqing held nothing back, his power immediately released, standing on the spot, their energies collided in the air, like two layers of membranes, swiftly clashing and compressing.

Li Yifei moved, his True Qi rotating throughout his body, rapidly infused into his arms, and charged at Murong Yuanqing.

Li Yifei used those techniques passed down by Murong Yuanqing, and Murong Yuanqing didn’t just stand still, equally attacking back.

Since they said to give it their all, they would surely go all out, leaving no room.

The two instantly collided, fists and feet clashing, every part of their bodies participating in the fight. Comparing True Qi, Li Yifei was somewhat lacking, and in terms of techniques, he didn’t measure up; even in breath, Li Yifei was much weaker.

Murong Yuanqing’s full-power attacks exhibited a strength that made Li Yifei feel immense pressure.

This was different from past sparrings with Murong Yuanqing, those times were sparring, stopping at the right moment, now it’s a desperate struggle.

Though Murong Yuanqing was old, his fist sharp as ever, one punch released, the fierce wind sound seemed to pierce the air, scraping Li Yifei’s ear, giving a fiery pain.

In a blink, they had exchanged more than ten blows, slightly separated, Li Yifei gathered a burst of True Qi, charged again.

"Good, even more fierce." Murong Yuanqing shouted, the surrounding ground buzzed loudly, even some tree leaves far away dropped, at the place they fought, the grass and trees submitted, in what seemed like windless weather, a strong wind suddenly emerged.

Li Yifei felt great pressure, this was much more difficult than confronting those pseudo masters of the Japan Ninjas, or rather, Li Yifei felt that one Murong Yuanqing could fight a group of such pseudo masters, and would have not the slightest chance of defeat.

Li Yifei executed a Rushing Bull Fist, directly aiming for Murong Yuanqing’s jaw. Murong Yuanqing didn’t dodge at all; he spread his hand, transforming his fist into five fingers like a hawk claw, reaching for Li Yifei. Li Yifei’s eyes narrowed slightly, quickly evading, stopping his punching hand abruptly in mid-air.

This didn’t end there; Li Yifei halted his attack as old strength waned and new force emerged. Just as Murong Yuanqing thought he blocked Li Yifei and was ready to strike, Li Yifei’s second-phase attack re-emerged.

Murong Yuanqing had to use his palm to defend, his body was lightly pushed back a few meters. He stopped and smiled faintly, saying, "Good boy, playing tricks with me."

"I wouldn’t dare, wouldn’t dare," Li Yifei laughed loudly. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Murong Yuanqing suddenly attacking, and Li Yifei exclaimed urgently, "Elder, you’re actually sneaking an attack."

"You can deceive, why can’t I sneak? Don’t talk nonsense, take it on first," Murong Yuanqing said as his body already rushed forward.

Only now did both truly begin mutual probing. After all, Li Yifei didn’t clearly understand the extent of Murong Yuanqing’s true power, and Murong Yuanqing also hadn’t quite grasped how much Li Yifei had progressed. After an initial probe, both gained some understanding.

Murong Yuanqing felt a little pleased inside; Li Yifei’s progress was indeed astonishing. After just a few days without seeing, he had progressed significantly more. Li Yifei, however, was startled; Murong Yuanqing handled himself so effortlessly, his martial prowess truly was unfathomable.

Engaged once again, Murong Yuanqing no longer held back, unleashing his learned techniques with full force. Li Yifei gradually felt it difficult to maintain, as if countless holes appeared all over his body, leaving him vulnerable to unexpected attacks, often defending below only to expose other areas, repeatedly hit on his body.

Fortunately, Murong Yuanqing withheld his strength, so even when hitting Li Yifei, the impact didn’t cause any harm, or else Li Yifei might not have been able to stand up.

Fighting like this won’t do, Li Yifei thought to himself, urgently dodging Murong Yuanqing’s attack, quickly calculating in his mind, instantly thinking through their next dozen moves, finding failures, requiring him to change tactics.

Within Li Yifei’s body, he still had Innate Vital Energy acquired from Kunlun, but it was not quite obedient. Relying on it to defeat Murong Yuanqing seemed unlikely. However, it was precisely because of this Innate Vital Energy that Li Yifei could recover so quickly from the torture of the Worm.

Thinking of this, Li Yifei suddenly had a clever idea.

"Om!" Li Yifei roared suddenly, forming sound into a wave, momentarily dazing Murong Yuanqing. In less than half a second during this pause, Li Yifei suddenly burst forth, decisively transforming his palm into fingers, attempting to strike Murong Yuanqing’s acupuncture point.

His fingers already touched Murong Yuanqing’s chest, nearly pressing the point, yet suddenly sensing danger, Li Yifei rapidly withdrew his hand as a gust of Astral Wind swept through. If he were a tenth of a second slower, his fingers might have been severed.

Murong Yuanqing chuckled, saying, "Good boy, so sly to this extent. How did you learn that Buddha Sound just now?"

Li Yifei retreated a few steps and replied, "I don’t actually know any Buddha Sound, just shouted, and unexpectedly it worked."

"You’re right, that was Buddha Sound, though lacking in flavor. I hesitated just now because I didn’t expect you could perform that," Murong Yuanqing explained.

Li Yifei shook his head, saying, "Elder Murong, if you’re hit, admit you’re hit. Though the effect was brief, it was still a hidden kill trick. A few days when facing that Doggy from Japan, suddenly using this could possibly stun him too."

"Indeed, a bit surprising. Later, I’ll teach you more; I don’t quite understand this stuff. It would be great if that old fellow were here to teach you. It’s a decent kill trick," Murong Yuanqing nodded in agreement.

Li Yifei felt somewhat pleased, not expecting his urgent shout to be useful.

"Thank you, Elder."

Murong Yuanqing ignored him, shouting, "Again."

The two instantly engaged once more, generating countless Astral Winds, but pity for the surrounding flowers and grasses, appearing trimmed by lawn mowers, constantly breaking, flying, wherever they tangled, countless grass and tree leaves flew around.

With a loud crash, Li Yifei’s chest was hit, flying backward and landing on the lawn. Murong Yuanqing, rather than pressing the advantage, stopped and stood solemnly, his face showing no expression.

Li Yifei, lying on the ground, rubbed his chest, supported himself with one hand, and stood up from the ground.

Walking back, Li Yifei said with a slight sigh, "Indeed, old ginger is hotter, Elder Murong’s punch, if not held back nine parts, I might have ended up in the hospital now."

Murong Yuanqing chuckled, just about to speak when he saw Li Yifei a few meters away suddenly rush forward, delivering a series of wheel kicks with fierce aggression.

Murong Yuanqing blocked several hits, his body continuously retreating, until Li Yifei finished his moves, using a technique reminiscent of Tai Chi, deflecting him with four ounces, pushing Li Yifei away.

Li Yifei spun once through the air, fist re-launching.

Both engaged in back-and-forth combat, with tactics embracing deception, especially Li Yifei, unusually employing rogue techniques to gain some advantage, yet unable to ultimately defeat Murong Yuanqing.
