Chapter 2277: Chapter 2341: Victory
Once again engaged in combat, Li Yifei couldn’t help but reveal a cold smile. He had given this Southerner a chance, but unfortunately, the opponent did not appreciate it. Even though defeat was already apparent, he still charged forward. Li Yifei couldn’t be blad for what happened next. With these thoughts in mind, he struck suddenly, using a move taught to him by Murong Yuanqing, intending to resolve the fight once and for all.
Moreover, this move was one given to him by Murong Yuanqing when they first t, called... This move has several variations, not just one form. Depending on the situation, it can be broken down—reacting to moves as they co. When Li Yifei suddenly employed it, the elderly onlookers inside the villa turned pale. This move was Murong Yuanqing’s signature skill, one he used to challenge many formidable experts of his ti.
However... after a certain incident, Murong Yuanqing never used this set of moves again, at least not publicly. This was known within a certain circle. Li Yifei’s sudden use of Murong Yuanqing’s ultimate technique proved one thing... Li Yifei was indeed Murong Yuanqing’s true disciple, a fact acknowledged by so of the elders present.
"Ya!" The Southerner suddenly roared, and as he rushed forward, he could sense a change in Li Yifei, as if he had suddenly beco three tis stronger, bringing a pressing sense of intimidation.
Li Yifei was about to strike when he saw the Southerner retreat several steps, his hand trembling as he sent a yellow light towards Li Yifei. Within that yellow light was a unique power; Li Yifei clearly felt the presence of Spirit Qi between heaven and earth within it, akin to a Formation thod—an extrely peculiar feeling. Li Yifei quickly dodged, only to find that the yellow light curved as it pursued him.
Huh? Li Yifei’s body shuddered, and his True Qi Armor manifested. His body halted as the yellow light struck his body, flashing several tis, with that yellow light surprisingly obliterating half of his armor...
Interesting, Li Yifei smiled, glancing towards the villa. He hesitated montarily, not employing the True Qi Blade, also dismissing the True Qi Armor. Knowing the power of the yellow light, Li Yifei ford a plan to counter it.
Inside the villa, Murong Yuanqing chuckled lightly, glancing sideways at Elder Nan a few ters away, mocking, "Elder Nan, you’re quite willing to spend, even giving away your ancestor’s item."
Indeed, the yellow light that was just cast by the Southerner was gifted by Elder Nan, similar to the previous charm. The yellow light represented earth, with earth being of a later position, consequently diminishing more than half of Li Yifei’s True Qi Armor.
Of course, it’s not that the charm was lacking in power. Actually, by now, such charms were rare within Elder Nan’s sect, numbering fewer than twenty. It’s just that Li Yifei’s True Qi Armor coincidentally restrained this earth attribute charm.
If the charm in Yao Lingfu’s hand were used, Li Yifei might have suffered more damage. However, it wouldn’t be catastrophic, not stronger than a missile, which Li Yifei had withstood...
Naturally, Elder Nan’s expression was grim. That was a genuine life-saving thod, yet his disciple had already used it, which was truly wasteful.
Outside, Li Yifei chuckled, watching as, after being struck by the yellow light, the Southerner charged once more. With a snap, Li Yifei unleashed the remaining techniques.
The Southerner was shocked, aware that Li Yifei was formidable, but that was only rumor. They had remained in the South for years, never venturing into the South. However, upon hearing of Li Yifei, they were naturally unconvinced. With Elder Nan’s secret encouragent, they challenged Li Yifei.
Who would’ve thought... this guy truly was impressive, to the point where the Southerner resorted to using his master’s charm against Li Yifei. When the charm was released, it had to hit the target.
With a thud, Li Yifei seized the Southerner’s wrist. Though the opponent struggled mightily, Li Yifei’s strength prevailed. After gripping the opponent’s hand, he swung it vigorously in a circle, and with a forceful flick, the Southerner was sent flying as Li Yifei swung him. Initially moving his feet, he struggled to keep up, but upon the second rotation, he lost control. Once Li Yifei released him, the Southerner went soaring.
Outside, rain poured down, while the Southerner’s body, out of control, flew away. Despite efforts to regain control upon landing, he still ended up falling awkwardly, resembling a drenched frog and splashing water upon impact, rapidly getting soaked.
He wasn’t an Innate Expert; his level was beneath Li Yifei’s. While he had undergone rigorous training under Elder Nan, ultimately he was no match for Li Yifei, who tossed him aside effortlessly.
Lying in the rain, the Southerner appeared miserable. He had exerted himself to the fullest, even utilizing his ancestor’s charm, yet was still unable to defeat the opponent—a sheer humiliation.
Li Yifei withdrew his hand, his face bearing a faint smile, offering no further comnt. He glanced at the Southerner briefly, neither sheltering from the rain under the tree nor retreating, stepping directly into the rain towards the villa.
Inside the villa, Elder Nan’s expression soured. His prized disciple initiated the challenge against Li Yifei, only to lose swiftly—a blow to his reputation, naturally, and also losing a treasure.
Murong Yuanqing was delighted, smiling smugly, saying, "Appears my disciple has won. Hehe, Lingfu, this charm is for Yifei; as for the prayer beads, I’ll give them to you." The items were won by Li Yifei, but since Murong Yuanqing placed the bet, he graciously gifted them to Yao Lingfu.
However, Yao Lingfu shook her head and said, "What use do I have for this? Better give it to your disciple."
"He has no use for it now either," Murong Yuanqing replied.
Yao Lingfu said, "Then give it to his child, to nurture them from a young age."
"That’s true, so... give it to him later!" Murong Yuanqing suddenly thought of Li Yifei’s son, who was born with Innate Vital Energy and extraordinary talent.
With just a few words, they decided on the distribution, not even asking Elder Nan if he agreed. Of course, even if he disagreed, there was nothing he could do—they had won, so why bother asking him?
Li Yifei walked to the balcony, looked back at the standing but unmoved Nan Fang, and couldn’t help but smile. Glancing at the door, after a few seconds, Li Yifei reached out to push the door open and stepped inside. Once inside, Li Yifei’s heart skipped a beat, because in the hall stood about ten elderly people, all with white hair. Both n and won were present, including two or three people Li Yifei recognized, like Yao Lingfu and Murong Yuanqing, but most were unfamiliar to him.
It wasn’t the presence of these people that surprised him; it was their extraordinary nature. From a martial artist’s perspective, these elders had prominent temples, square jaws, and sharp, spirited eyes. So were standing, so sitting, all with a calm deanor. As Li Yifei entered, they all cast a scrutinizing gaze upon him.
This was indeed a grand occasion, Li Yifei thought to himself, but on his face appeared a respectful smile, unlike the slight disdain he had shown towards Nan Fang earlier. He quickly withdrew his gaze, rely taking a sweep upon entering rather than staring continuously.
Standing before Murong Yuanqing, Li Yifei hesitated. Though not considered Murong Yuanqing’s disciple, he had always regarded him as a teacher and elder in his heart. Noticing Li Yifei’s hesitation, Murong Yuanqing spoke first, waving his hand and saying, "Skip the formalities, co, let
introduce you to these senior elders here today."
"Yes!" Li Yifei nodded.
After the introductions, Li Yifei also learned of Nan Fang’s master, the one involved in the bet—Elder Nan. He also received his prize: two prayer beads and a charm with faint lightning patterns, clearly extraordinary. Having experienced the previous yellow charm, Li Yifei knew these were good items. He cupped his hands and saluted Elder Nan, saying, "Thank you, Master Nan, for your gift."
"You deserve it," Elder Nan replied expressionlessly.
Murong Yuanqing laughed heartily and said, "No need to thank him; you won. This old man sent his disciple to trouble you, failed to cause trouble, and hurt his hand in the process. It’s a loss he has to admit."
Li Yifei nodded without responding further. After all, they were elderly masters, and Li Yifei knew not to speak out of turn. Of course, he was certain that his impression on them might worsen, especially since he knew the elder was one of Huaxia’s publicly recognized strongest experts. Originally with a different last na, upon becoming one of the five great experts, he adopted the surna Nan, specifically guarding the southern parts of Huaxia.
However, he had only a surna and no given na. Murong Yuanqing and the others called him Elder Nan or other nicknas like "Old Immortal." Among the other experts and masters, there were differences in power levels, with notable disparities even among those of the sa master rank.
Nan Fang, Elder Nan’s disciple, remained drenched in the rain, and he didn’t call his disciple back. Li Yifei stood behind Murong Yuanqing as the elders sat dispersed. What had initially been a small sparring session now seed like a re interlude.
"Everyone, I’ve been stationed in the Capital City for several years now. Recently, so events have occurred, so I’ve called Elder Nan here to take over the watch while I handle so affairs. Since everyone’s here, I wanted to inform you," Murong Yuanqing announced.
The group of elders nodded slightly, indicating understanding. Elder Nan maintained a blank expression, and after Murong Yuanqing finished, he said, "I’ll guard, sure, but only for a year. I’m old, still have many unresolved matters, and haven’t taught my disciples well. I can’t stay long in the Capital City."
"Haha, let your descendants handle their matters, Elder Nan, you should let go," Murong Yuanqing replied.
The elders chatted for a long ti, and Li Yifei listened with amusent. It seed as though the old folks hadn’t gathered in a while. Once they started talking, they couldn’t stop, reminiscing about the past, often bringing up and comnting on the new generation. Soone even discovered a promising student who had already taught two disciples.
It felt much like an annual gathering, with the atmosphere gradually improving.
