"And at this ti, Li Yi’s team is probably fatigued..."
As he spoke, he looked in the direction of Li Yi’s team.
"As we delve deeper into the old city district, the distance between us and the other teams will keep getting closer. Li Yi’s squad isn’t too far from us; if we’re going to act, we need to move quickly and return quickly," another Spiritual Realm cultivator said.
Yang Yilong’s eyes flickered, "This matter is my personal affair; you all don’t need to get involved. Qin Qing, let’s go and settle this grudge once and for all. Only then can we focus on competing for a place."
Qin Qing hesitated for a mont, but finally nodded her head.
Taking advantage of the rest period, the two left the team and headed straight for the location of Li Yi’s squad.
Although Li Yi’s team had Zhao Lingfu, a Spiritual Perception Master, join them, making their journey much easier, the lack of other teams to share the burden ant they faced many more dangers and had to stop to rest several tis along the way.
"Now, four hours have passed since we started the operation. If things continue like this, we should be able to complete the mission before noon tomorrow," Zheng Gong was drinking nutrient solution and adjusting his firearms at this mont.
"We’ve fought our way here and can barely see any other teams now; we are essentially fighting a solitary battle," Lin Yue stood at a high point, her brow furrowed, alert to her surroundings.
Zhao Lingfu smiled and said, "My team got wiped out halfway through. Honestly, it’s a miracle that you guys have managed to push forward to this point. Going further, I reckon casualties will start appearing within our team. But Li Yi, your decision is correct; you noticed the team’s fatigue, so you chose to rest and take it slowly, not rushing for imdiate success."
"Although this reduces casualties, the downside is that our team’s operational efficiency is too slow," soone comnted.
"That’s fine; we don’t need to compare ourselves with those teams full of Spiritual Perception Masters; we can’t beat them," Li Yi said calmly.
"Right, with your achievents, you have a great chance of securing an internal spot in the Investigation Bureau; there really is no need to take too many risks," Zhao Lingfu remarked.
He had assessed Li Yi’s standing within the Investigation Bureau all along the way.
Without realizing it, he found that Li Yi had a good chance of coming from behind and securing a spot.
However, the reason Li Yi wasn’t rushing into action wasn’t that; it was because he needed ti to accumulate Qi-Blood. After several hours of accumulation, he had now filled six acupoints with Qi-Blood, leaving only the last three unfilled. If all went well, he would break through to the Refining Realm tonight, becoming a Qi Cultivation Martial Artist.
"Wait, it seems like soone is approaching us."
Suddenly.
The vigilant Lin Yue suddenly shifted her expression and looked in one direction.
Very quickly.
Several figures were swiftly approaching, and in just a mont’s ti, they entered their field of vision.
The person leading them was very familiar; it was none other than Yang Yilong.
"Not good, it’s Yang Yilong, Qin Qing and the others..." In that mont, Lin Yue’s complexion changed.
"I’ve finally found you... Li Yi, I really didn’t expect you would have made it this far ahead. I thought you were still resting behind us, which caused to waste a little ti on a fruitless search," Yang Yilong stopped, his expression unusually calm.
Clearly, he had co specifically for Li Yi.
"Yang Yilong," Zhao Lingfu’s expression changed abruptly, and he suddenly stood up from resting.
But then he laughed.
Why was he so agitated?
Wasn’t it a known fact that he couldn’t beat Yang Yilong?
Afterward, he glanced at Li Yi.
However, Li Yi was sitting calmly on the curb next to the empty street, undisturbed by Yang Yilong’s arrival. He simply raised his eyelids and said, "Coming now? You really are patient. If it were , I definitely wouldn’t give the enemy so much ti; I would have attacked right from the start of the operation."
"Too bad."
"What’s too bad?" Yang Yilong approached with large strides, completely ignoring the two Spiritual Perception Masters, Lin Yue and Zhao Lingfu.
Li Yi smiled and said, "Too bad, you’re too late. Do you really think you can kill with your current strength? That’s naïve."
"I can’t kill you? Li Yi, you’ve told a really humorous joke," Yang Yilong said, "Don’t think too highly of yourself just because you took one of my punches last ti. I wasn’t serious, but this ti you won’t be so lucky..."
However, he didn’t finish his sentence before suddenly stopping, a trace of astonishnt appearing in his eyes.
In his line of sight, Li Yi’s body seed to be emitting red light, a blazing Qi-Blood erupting from his body and suffusing the area around him.
Even from such a distance, he felt the wave of heat approaching.
Thud! Thud!
Then, sothing unexpected happened, a series of dull thumping, like the beating of a drum, unexpectedly emanated from Li Yi’s body.
Faced with this strange transformation in Li Yi, not only did Yang Yilong feel shocked and perplexed, but Lin Yue, Zhao Lingfu, Zheng Gong, and everyone else there felt the sa.
Although they knew that sothing had been off with Li Yi’s body during this mission, they could never have imagined it would evolve to this extent.
A heartbeat resonating like the sound of a drum?
Is this still human?
Is it sothing a cultivator in the inspiration realm can accomplish?
Inconceivable.
What kind of transformation is happening to Li Yi’s body?
In fact, if there were martial artists from the Four Seas and Eight Continents here, they would definitely recognize that Li Yi was in the process of Qi-Blood circulation, opening the acupoints in his body, and breaking through to the Refining Realm.
The sound of his heart like a muffled drum was because the Qi-Blood in his body was too vast, making the noise of breaking through much louder than that of an average martial artist.
But a cultivator from the inspiration realm making a breakthrough to Refining, such a thing is unprecedented.
However, even without knowing what was happening, Yang Yilong, sensing with his Spiritual Perception, knew that Li Yi’s aura was getting stronger and stronger... In just a brief mont, the aura emanating from him had already signaled danger to him.
At that mont.
Yang Yilong could no longer hold back, his figure shifted, and with an explosive sound under his feet, he vanished from his spot.
"Stop," Lin Yue suddenly shouted, rushing out to try to stop Yang Yilong.
At that mont, Qin Qing made her move. She blocked Lin Yue, thwarting her plan to rescue Li Yi.
"Qin Qing..."
Lin Yue raged, this was not the ti for courtesies, a mont’s delay and Li Yi might truly die.
Without the slightest hesitation, she delivered a punch.
Qin Qing, knowing she was at fault, did not fight back, only blocking the punch.
She grunted, her figure retreating, and then chose not to strike again.
Because her mission was accomplished, that bit of ti should have been enough for Yang Yilong to take action against Li Yi.
With the gap between the two of them, a confrontation would determine the winner.
"Yang Yilong."
However, at that mont, Zhao Lingfu suddenly shouted. His speed was unbelievably fast, and he managed to intercept Yang Yilong before he could make a move on Li Yi.
Yang Yilong’s movent halted, then almost instinctively, he threw a punch.
This punch not only released Fist Power but also gathered a white Fist Mark, clearly showing that he had combined his Guiding Skill and Boxing Techniques into a new and unique technique.
Just one strike.
Zhao Lingfu was instantly repelled, no match for Yang Yilong at all.
"You know you’re no match for , so why bother to intervene?" Yang Yilong said coldly.
"Cough cough."
Zhao Lingfu coughed up blood, a clear Fist Mark visible on his chest. That single punch had severely injured him, leaving him almost unable to continue fighting.
"I know I’m not your rival, but for you to co at like this, don’t you think you’re looking down on people too much? I also want to see just what makes you, Yang Yilong, so arrogant..."
He, too, was a Spiritual Perception Master, mastered his own Techniques, and had his own pride. At this critical mont, he wasn’t willing to let Yang Yilong ride roughshod over him.
Being unable to fight is one thing, but being afraid to fight is another.
