When Wu Li first fought with Bill’s brother Baer, the latter’s Military Maga Skill was also at the Master Level, but in every aspect, he was slightly inferior to Wu Li, hence he was quickly defeated by Wu’s slashing at his throat.
Baer’s Maga Skill was ranked M1, while Bill’s was M2.
Wu Li slashed towards the opponent’s neck, and Bill did the sa with a horizontal cut.
Clang!
The blades collided, sparking a burst of fire, and the imnse force made Bill involuntarily take a step back.
This slash of Wu’s was powered by the Cannon Fist, Charging Step Upper Fist, Sky-reaching Cannon!
The Cannon Fist Power made Bill take a step back while Wu advanced half a step, his dagger thrusting towards Bill.
A fierce glint flashed in Bill’s eyes as he ignored the blade aid at his throat and his military knife cut towards Wu’s wrist.
Having one’s wrist artery severed was also lethal!
Of course, Wu had no intention of dying alongside Bill; he retracted his arm, flipped his wrist, and once again, his blade clashed with Bill’s military knife.
Bill stepped back again, deliberately creating distance. His arms were longer than Wu’s, giving him an advantage with distance and making it easier to exert force.
Wu directly stepped forward to press on, certainly not allowing Bill to easily create distance.
However, just as Wu stepped forward, Bill did the sa, his military knife whistling through the air towards Wu’s chest.
Their retreat and advance were fluid, perfectly tid at the mont Wu leaned forward and shifted his center of gravity.
But before Wu’s right foot could steady himself, he instantly exerted force, pulling his body back sharply, lowering his head and chest, dodging Bill’s knife.
Wu had reached the realm of rcury-like Center of Gravity, able to switch his body’s balance at will, so this move posed no threat to him but instead provided him with an opportunity.
His short knife horizontally sliced, and before Bill could retract his arm, it was cut open with a deep wound, blood spurting out.
Bill cried out in pain, his arm bending, and his military knife similarly slashing towards Wu’s arm, forcing Wu’s short knife back.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Wu suddenly accelerated, and the two exchanged four rapid slashes.
Bill’s arm was cut by Wu, the more he exerted force, the faster the blood flowed, and the wound inevitably affected his performance. Moreover, with Wu deliberately using the Beng Fist Power, under the influence of the force, Bill’s slashing speed grew slower and slower.
Swoosh!
With the fifth slash, Wu flicked Bill’s military knife away, then stepped forward and slashed towards Bill’s throat.
Bill roared in indignation, his right foot kicking towards Wu’s knee while simultaneously reaching out with his left hand to try and seize Wu’s short knife.
Thud!
Wu turned the blade, slicing off two of Bill’s fingers, while his right leg shot out, striking Bill’s shin in a preemptive counter.
Bill howled in pain but was quickly silenced as Wu’s blade swept across his throat.
Squirt!
Blood spurted out as Bill, hands clutching his neck, fell with a face full of reluctance.
His main reason for instigating today’s attack was to avenge his brother and also to vent his frustration; however, he died not knowing that he and his brother had both been killed by the sa person.
After killing Bill, Wu looked worriedly ahead; gunshots and sounds of fighting ca from a shop, where Li San was still battling.
Three villains were exchanging gunfire with Hongn gunn, while the remaining four had stord into the shop.
Wu Li rushed from behind, quickly disposing of three thugs outside before charging into the store to see Li San bloodied, struggling to rise from atop soone.
The store was large and had been thrashed to shreds, with seven bodies haphazardly spread across the floor, all dead.
Li San was nearly at his limit. Hearing footsteps, he barely moved his body to hide, but upon recognizing the newcor he paused, remaining in place. "Why have you co?"
Wu Li noticed that Li San had been shot, and not just once. He imdiately stepped forward to support him.
"Here to steal the credit."
"Haha," Li San laughed weakly. "Did you kill Bill?"
Earlier, when Bill had entered the seventh floor and personally acted, Li San had imdiately recognized him.
He wondered why the Bill Brothers Association would do such a thing.
Then, considering the USB drive Wu Li had given him, he speculated: Could it be that Bill knew the USB was in Hongn’s possession?
In fact, Li San had previously been certain that Bill didn’t know the whereabouts of the USB, falling into a blind spot in his thinking: Since he hadn’t acted, and Wu Li wasn’t from Hongn, why would Bill think the USB was with Hongn?
Had Wu Li betrayed Hongn? Li San didn’t believe Wu Li would do such a thing, and seeing him co to the rescue only confird his belief.
How had Bill confird the USB was with Hongn? Li San couldn’t figure it out and didn’t bother trying to anymore, especially since Bill was now dead.
If Li San had known that the Bill Brothers Association was also behind that night’s assassination attempt, he wouldn’t have been so confused. Bill, feeling guilty for orchestrating Li San’s assassination through the Guandong Association, imdiately assud the similarly-looking Wu Li was Li San, especially since he had just plotted against Li San and then experienced retaliation; the logic was sound.
In any case, because of Wu Li, Bill mistakenly believed it was Li San who had taken the USB, triggering today’s attack. And indeed, it was through Wu Li that Li San had acquired the USB, planning to move against the Bill Brothers Association. So technically, Bill didn’t target the wrong person today...
Wu Li, while performing a system task, inadvertently frad Li San, and now, risking his life, had saved Li San. In a way, it could be considered a cycle of cause and effect.
"How are you holding up?" Wu Li helped Li San sit down.
Li San nodded. "Don’t worry, I promised to learn more about your fist technique; I won’t die so easily."
"Master Li!"
Footsteps approached from outside, Hongn mbers had arrived.
Two n burst in with guns, pausing at the sight of Wu Li before quickly checking on Li San.
"He’s been shot; quickly find sothing to stop the bleeding, bandage him up!" Wu Li commanded.
Li San had been shot three tis: once in the shoulder, once in the abdon, and once in the thigh. If not for his robust constitution, anyone else would have already succumbed to the severe wounds.
Inside the Martial Arts Hall, there were dicines and bandages. With the enemies already cleared out, the Hongn mbers entered the hall to retrieve the supplies.
After a busy flurry, the bleeding was stabilized, and the Hongn mbers prepared a stretcher to carry Li San down.
"It looks like we at Hongn owe you another favor."
Zheng Yingrong also ca to check on Li San, equally surprised to see Wu Li but quickly understood the situation after Li San explained. He then respectfully clasped his fists towards Wu Li.
If previously Zheng Yingrong was unimpressed when Li San said Wu Li saved him, seeing Li San’s wounds now made him sincerely grateful to Wu Li.
Wu Li nodded. "No need for thanks; saving a life is what matters."
A path had already been cleared to escort Li San downstairs; he needed imdiate hospital care for blood transfusion.
Wu Li, concerned, walked beside Li San as they moved downstairs.
Descending the stairs to the first floor, Wu Li faintly heard the sound of police sirens. It seed the police had finally arrived.
