The bullets were stopped by the bullet-proof vest, but the imnse impact still made Wu Li’s shoulder feel as if it had been struck by a heavy hamr.
"This impact is almost comparable to taking three hits from innate Gang Qi."
Wu Li made the comparison in his mind and couldn’t help but lant that the decline of fist techniques was indeed reasonable. Decades of hard training, talent, perseverance, and opportunity were indispensable, yet it might still not be enough to produce a grandmaster. However, with just a few months of gun training, one’s killing power could far surpass that of a grandmaster-level expert. With such a comparison, how many people would be willing to put in the hard work to practice martial arts?
Spreading his limbs, Wu Li exerted his strength and leaped up from the spot, a Tiger Pounce brought him right in front of two soldiers.
At that mont, the three were almost on top of each other. The other soldiers didn’t dare to shoot, and the two soldiers who Wu Li got close to had no chance to fire their guns. One was sent flying by a Bear Form Elbow Strike as Wu Li rushed forward, while the other had his groin blown apart by a Turning Palm strike.
In the span of one second, two n were dealt with. Wu Li ran at full speed and disappeared into the night.
After running so distance, Wu Li stumbled upon a person being attacked by two soldiers in camouflage uniforms. The person was likely from Zhiqing Hall, and Wu Li decisively helped him by taking out the two soldiers.
After saving the person, Wu Li asked about the situation of Li San and the others, but the person did not know either.
Wu Li was anxious, but there was nothing he could do. In this kind of environnt, it was all down to luck.
He continued running, helping any Zhiqing Hall mber he encountered who was being attacked. On the one hand, this kept the situation from completely collapsing, and on the other hand, he could ask these people about news of Li San.
The sudden appearance of an expert like Wu Li on the battlefield indeed quietly changed the situation. Wu Li’s killing speed was too fast. Every ti he saved a Zhiqing Hall mber, Zhiqing Hall gained slightly more strength, while the Longhua Association correspondingly lost a few people. This addition and subtraction, like a rolling snowball, caused a shift in the battlefield situation.
"We’ve got an expert here; request reinforcents! Request reinforcents!"
Five minutes later, Wu Li had killed twenty-one soldiers of the White Reaper, finally catching the attention of the White Reaper.
To be prepared for any situation, Long Yu had specifically kept a mobile unit for imdiate reinforcent. Soone had now contacted this group.
"Report your location," ca the inquiry over the communicator.
"We’re at your eleven o’clock!"
The mobile unit’s position was fixed, so they could give out relative directions.
"Got it, hold him off as best you can. We’re on our way."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Intense gunfire erupted from the other end of the communicator.
"He’s here!"
"He’s too fast!"
"You guys..."
Bang!
The conversation abruptly ended.
"..."
Red and his companion exchanged glances, their expressions solemn.
In a sense, they were Long Yu’s disciples, since all their martial arts skills were learned from Long Yu. They were experts personally trained by him.
It was also because they regularly interacted with a grandmaster-level expert like Long Yu that Wade and the others understood, more than any other mber of the White Reaper, the kind of lethal force a true combat expert could unleash on such a battlefield.
"Could it be that Li San?" one companion asked.
Red shook his head, "Not sure. Let’s head over. If it is, we’ll inform Long Yu."
"Okay!"
Finishing their exchange, the three of them ran towards eleven o’clock.
There had been previous requests for reinforcents, so the mobile unit now had only three mbers left.
After running for over three hundred ters, Red and the others, with the help of night vision goggles, spotted a moving shadow.
"Over there!" Red shouted.
Just from the movent speed, Red judged that this was an expert!
As they ran, they drew out their three-edged military daggers. Being personally trained by Long Yu, their strength lay not in shooting, but in close combat. Long Yu had specifically taught them a set of combat skills to use in conjunction with the military dagger.
Snap!
Thirty ters away, a White Reaper soldier had just raised his gun, aiming through the night vision device at sothing ahead, when Wu Li, in the blink of an eye, flashed to the left side of the soldier. With a heavy hamring punch, he struck the soldier’s flank. Through the bullet-proof vest, his innate Gang Qi shock sent the soldier’s body trembling; his kidney was instantly damaged, and urine and blood sprayed simultaneously from his groin, a weird and foul stench spread.
At this point, Wu Li was fully unleashing his power; every punch and kick was infused with innate Gang Qi!
Taking a step back, he spun and raced seven or eight ters to approach another soldier. A Turning Elbow Strike to the chest caused the soldier’s heart to rupture, and high blood pressure sprayed from the eyes and nose.
He delivered an elbow strike, and as a whistle sounded from behind, Wu Li, without looking back, suddenly flipped his right foot back, accurately hitting the pursuing soldier’s groin with a Yuan Yang Leg, a technique from Piercing Kick, instantly shattering the soldier’s lower regions.
After this flurry of moves, Wu Li was like a death god on the battlefield; in less than five seconds, he had killed three n—one with shattered kidneys, one with a burst heart, and one with a destroyed groin—his techniques were ruthless, and he wasn’t restricted to just Xingyi Fist. Bagua, Baji, Tai Chi, Piercing Kick, Eagle Claw... these martial arts killing moves ca easily to Wu Li’s hands, used with a fluid grace.
Ferocious, sharp, and life after life was reaped by Wu Li.
Breathing out deeply, Wu Li stood still for a mont to readjust himself, and just when he was about to pounce again, he pricked up his ears, suddenly turning his head to the side.
On such a battlefield, Wu Li was always on full alert every mont. Even in dim light where he couldn’t see far, his hearing and keen sixth sense kept him more alert than a hunting wild beast. The slightest rustle, and he’d imdiately react.
"Kill!"
A sudden furious shout ca through, it was in an unknown language, but the intent to kill within was unmistakably clear.
Three people...
Wu Li imdiately determined the number of attackers through the sound of their footsteps, and just by observing their movent speed and the spirit emanating from them, Wu Li knew the assailants were all skilled.
But Wu Li was not the least bit afraid, he launched himself forward with a Tiger Pounce, executing a Heavenly Punishnt strike.
Among the three, Red had the best skills, so he was slightly ahead of the others, and Wu Li’s Heavenly Punishnt was directed at him.
Facing this thunderous blow, Red knew he couldn’t take it head-on. Due to long-term exposure to Long Yu’s Fist Intent, he was still able to react to Wu Li’s most forceful Heavenly Punishnt.
With a fierce howl, he powered his legs and twisted his body, channeling the power from his feet up, finally thrusting the military dagger with all his might.
"Hm?"
Wu Li’s eyes flickered, recognizing that Red’s technique derived from the Big Stone Breaking Hand of Bagua Palm but it was different, having been modified cleverly. However, judging by Red’s skills, he clearly wasn’t at that level which ant he must have been guided by a master.
As Red thrust the three-edged military dagger, Wu Li transford his fist into a claw, reaching for Red’s wrist with an Eagle Form Capture.
Red’s dagger retracted swiftly, then, as if by magic, changed direction, aiming for Wu Li’s ribs.
The location around the ribs was exactly where gaps existed between the sections of his bullet-proof vest.
Red’s thinking was clear. A master like Wu Li, when wearing a bullet-proof vest, wouldn’t be overly concerned with their military daggers, so he aid to remove Wu Li’s vest first.
Indeed, Red’s feint was ingenious, leveraging wrist strength to pivot and redirect the dagger, but Wu Li didn’t bother with the incoming weapon; instead, he reached out with both hands to grab Red’s arm.
No matter how exquisite your techniques are, they are useless if I am faster. Striking after you allows to strike first!
This was pure speed domination. Having grasped Red’s arm, Wu Li used his power to shake it violently, thrusting upwards with his right shoulder to execute a Crocodile Tail Cutting!
Crack! A crisp sound was heard as Red’s right arm was twisted and broken by Wu Li.
From the mont Wu Li unleashed the Heavenly Punishnt to Red’s dagger thrust, it was only two exchanges of moves, less than a second had passed, and Red had an arm ruined by Wu Li. At this ti, his two companions had just entered effective striking range, their daggers thrusting forward.
Compared to those who couldn’t even withstand one move from Wu Li, Red was better, but that was about it.
His face paled as he fought back the intense pain from his arm, he lifted his leg attempting to kick Wu Li in the groin, but Wu Li had already released him and stepped back, causing Red’s kick and the two companions’ dagger stabs to miss.
After their initial attack missed, his two companions imdiately advanced, swinging their arms with tense muscles, the daggers shot out like bolts of lightning, tearing through the air with a piercing whistle.
This was a killing move taught to them by Long Yu.
Wu Li turned his body smoothly, like a large hawk, easily dodging the two n’s killing move. Then he launched a consecutive attack with both hands, reaching for the attackers’ wrists wielding daggers in an Eagle Form Capture.
With wind-breaking swiftness, Wu Li executed his captures twice in quick succession, forcing his opponents to alter their moves. Yet Wu Li’s Eagle Claw Capture was too fast and too fierce; after two more moves, both were seized by Wu Li, who captured their wrists holding the daggers.
Crack!
In the next mont, their wrists were broken.
Just as Wu Li was about to finish them, he heard faint laughter coming from afar.
Long Yu!
He nearly instantly recognized Long Yu’s voice and decisively abandoned the two before him, striding toward the source of the sound.
Swoosh!
Watching Wu Li’s figure vanish into the night, Red and his two companions looked at one another, a sense of having survived a catastrophe washing over them.
"Was that Commander Long just now?" one companion asked.
Red nodded, "It should be."
The companion continued, "I wonder who is more formidable between him and Commander Long?"
Red remained silent, the impression that Wu Li left on him was nearly as formidable as Long Yu when they sparred.
For the first ti, the usually confident Red harbored a slight worry for Long Yu in his heart...
...
"It’s over," said Long Yu.
"Not yet."
A voice rang out, and Wu Li erged from the darkness, finally having located Long Yu and also seeing the injured Li San.
"You!?" Long Yu was taken aback upon seeing Wu Li.
It wasn’t that he was afraid of Wu Li, but he didn’t expect Wu Li’s injuries to heal so quickly. Even for him, an injury like Wu Li had sustained would require at least three months of recovery.
"Hmm, you’ve broken through?"
As Wu Li appeared, all of Long Yu’s attention focused on him, sensitively perceiving a different aura than before from Wu Li.
Wearing a smile, Wu Li replied, "That’s right, I should even thank you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have made such a quick breakthrough."
Indeed, after a month of recuperation, intensely practicing the Six Harmonies Rejuvenation Technique, Wu Li had fully healed his injuries, and his Bone Marrow had reached perfection, breaking through to a Gang Body.
At this point, Wu Li had breakthroughs in Spirit, Power, and Body—the Three Values—officially reaching the Grandmaster Realm!
Therefore, his upcoming battle with Long Yu would be a true Grandmaster battle!
