Super Soldier in the City

At the same time, the information on Yang Shuo was sent over for review. Li Yifei discovered that the house Yang Shuo bought in Dan City wasn’t actually here, and this community was handed over just last year, considered one of the limited upscale communities in Dan City.

Interesting, lost track of someone right under his nose. Li Yifei gazed at the surrounding skyscrapers; even in a high-rise over thirty floors, he couldn’t escape his senses, even in the basement, he couldn’t escape his senses. So if someone is here, Li Yifei would definitely be able to sense it.

Quickly thinking, he took the opportunity of someone entering the building to swipe their card, and Li Yifei followed them in, thanking them. The person replied with "You’re welcome." Li Yifei didn’t take the elevator but walked down the staircase leading to the parking lot. The parking lot was, of course, extensive, and two minutes later, Li Yifei found Yang Shuo’s car parked in its spot, but the person was already gone. He went over to check, walked up the stairs next door, as the elevator required a key card, which Li Yifei didn’t have, so he took the elevator directly.

This was a thirty-two-story high-rise. Li Yifei climbed up step by step, pausing on each floor. Unless there was an expert present, he wouldn’t be able to sense anything.

Five minutes later, Li Yifei stopped because he had reached the top floor. Looking out through the small window by the staircase, Li Yifei could see outside; the building next door was also at the top floor. Thirty-two floors were the highest in these high-rise buildings, so there were no rooms further up.

Still not sensing anything felt very off, perhaps he had entered the wrong building? Generally, parking spots would be under one’s own building.

Li Yifei sat on the top floor, waited ten minutes, and then received the information for this building’s ********. Finger swiping across the screen, a line of ******** fell into Li Yifei’s sight; the occupants of the fourteenth floor were missing, yet when Li Yifei passed by the fourteenth floor just now, he heard noises from inside; someone was living there. Finger flicking the screen, Li Yifei murmured softly, "Could they be hiding here?"

With that thought, Li Yifei directly walked down to the fourteenth floor, precisely called 13A to avoid negative associations the Huaxia People have with the number fourteen. Opening the staircase door, he saw a floor with two households, with two large flower pots by the elevator filled with greenery, and there were green plants at the front door too. As Li Yifei walked in, he immediately discovered the secret.

So that’s how it is... Li Yifei suddenly brightened, no wonder he couldn’t sense anything before; there was a Formation Method here, and it seemed pretty advanced, so Li Yifei couldn’t sense Yang Shuo.

When he stepped in, his surroundings suddenly changed—not the elevator door, nor the greenery, nor the opposite building door—he was entering a space akin to chaos. This Formation Method was unfamiliar to Li Yifei, but he didn’t fear it. Instead, he smiled faintly, reached out as if to swipe something in front of him. As he made this motion, the chaos cleared away with a whoosh, Li Yifei chuckled lightly as the area returned to its original state.

This Formation Method was somewhat sinister, not low-level, but for the current Li Yifei, it wasn’t much of a hassle. He could easily break it and escape from within.

As the area returned to its original state, Li Yifei continued forward. He broke the Formation Method, so surely the people inside could sense it too, and Li Yifei wasn’t planning on hiding anymore.

Inside the room, Yang Shuo still looked troubled. She’s been under massive stress these past few days; the branch’s operations were relatively normal for now, but due to a huge deficit, a serious crisis had already emerged.

In front of her was a man who looked under thirty, extremely handsome, comparable to a celebrity. Wearing large shorts with a bare torso, his muscles were exceptionally well-defined, more refined than a fitness coach’s. Such a person had Yang Shuo in his arms, comforting her softly after she had already spoken of her anxiety.

When Li Yifei barged into the Formation Method, the man frowned, put down the fruit he was holding. Yang Shuo asked what was wrong, and the man shook his head, saying, "Maybe someone went the wrong way!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his body paused, eyes widened, and he shook his head, "Not right!"

"What’s not right?" Yang Shuo was confused, but the man knew what had happened; the Formation Method he had set up at the door had just been triggered. Initially, it would trap them for one minute, during which the other party could escape from the Formation Method amid the chaos, indistinctly. Ordinary people wouldn’t understand what happened; however, the person outside not only broke through the Formation Method but it was done in just a few seconds, a mere few seconds...

The man immediately became vigilant, put down Yang Shuo, eyes fixed on the direction of the door.

"Brother Xu, what’s wrong?" Yang Shuo saw him like this, she also grew nervous and slightly worried.

The man known as Brother Xu frowned, shook his head, and said, "You should head to the bedroom; a friend has arrived."

"Friend?" Yang Shuo was greatly puzzled, quickly replying, "Brother Xu, you have no friends here!"

"The visitor might be here to trouble me, you don’t need to worry."

"Impossible, is it the police, coming to arrest me?" Yang Shuo shook her head.

This silly woman, Xu Shu felt a flash of helplessness, had no choice but to let her stay and walked up to the door, preparing to open it,

Outside, Li Yifei knew there was another Formation Method inside this room, and it was precisely that Formation Method that was blocking his senses.

One minute later, the door opened. Li Yifei saw the bare-chested Xu Shu and also saw Yang Shuo. Seeing Li Yifei, Yang Shuo was surprised but quickly calmed down, seemingly confused; she was certain she did not know the person at the door. As for Xu Shu, his body instinctively tensed. Once he saw Li Yifei, he directly asked, "Who are you?"

Li Yifei’s gaze swept over Yang Shuo, then turned to the speaking man. When the door opened, Li Yifei immediately sensed the other’s aura. He was a master, but not one on par with Li Yifei as imagined.

Could it be because the other person concealed his aura? Hmm, that’s possible, but the likelihood is very small.

"Open the door willingly, and yet not invite me in?" Li Yifei asked with a natural demeanor.

Xu Shu’s gaze wavered, after a few seconds, he nodded, said, "Come in."

Yang Shuo was tense, holding Xu Shu’s hand and said, "We don’t know you, so there’s no need to come in."

Li Yifei had already disregarded her, walked directly in, Yang Shuo instinctively tried to block him, Xu Shu stopped her, and as Li Yifei took one step inside, he sensed the existence of the Formation Method, and it was a Killing Formation. Li Yifei’s steps did not halt; he continued to stride inside.

So what if there was a Killing Formation inside the house? Li Yifei had once felt that Formation Methods were both mysterious and incomprehensible, mainly because Formation Methods varied tremendously, making them hard to decipher. But ever since undertaking Dual Cultivation, Li Yifei finally grasped a logic: When you possess absolute power, many things become straightforward, such as breaking certain Formation Methods, just like that Chaos Formation moments ago, and like this Killing Formation Li Yifei just entered with one step.

Sounds of war horses seemed to ring in his ear, blades and swords glinting before his eyes, not merely illusions, but feeling as if those knives and swords could truly pierce Li Yifei’s body if he didn’t dodge.

It seemed frightening, yet in reality, it wasn’t so. Li Yifei similarly stretched out his hand as if to brush away a bothersome leaf blocking his view, as if to swat away an annoying fly, simply waved, and then it was gone.

No more glinting blades or swords, no more sounds of war horses, nor was there that intense killing intent. All that remained was a modestly decorated house and the pair of a man and a woman, or you might call them a pair of cheating lovers, since Li Yifei knew that this Yang Shuo had a husband—an arithmetic teacher from the provincial school, according to the information available, the couple’s relationship seemed decent. So the man in front of him was her lover, calling them cheating lovers wouldn’t be inappropriate.

Yang Shuo only saw Li Yifei reaching out and swiping without doing anything else, not knowing what had happened, but as for Xu Shu, his clenched hand involuntarily relaxed, sighing inwardly. Though this Killing Formation wasn’t his strongest, it was quite powerful. Yet, the ordinary-looking man across him broke through his Formation Method with a mere wave, indicating his strength was significantly higher.

The Formation Method proved ineffective, other measures didn’t matter; he sighed and said, "Since you’re clearly an exceptional master, then there’s no need for concealment. State your purpose directly."

"State directly?" Li Yifei asked nonchalantly, walking forward to sit on the nearby sofa, picked up an apple, took two bites, appearing relaxed and at ease.

Yang Shuo asked somewhat agitatedly, "Who exactly are you? What are you doing at our home? Brother Xu didn’t provoke you—"

Li Yifei glanced at the somewhat fierce-looking woman, having met Yang Shuo before, remembered her, but hadn’t realized that this woman, who looked decent enough, would also cheat, and with a master of Formation Methods.

"Sir, you’ve broken my two Formation Methods, I truly have no other means to address it. So if you have business, just speak directly." Xu Shu thought Li Yifei was deliberately putting on airs, feeling helpless, yet had no other choices.

"Whether he’s provoked me, I don’t know, but you, certainly have." Li Yifei ate half an apple, tossed it onto the table with a bang. As his words were spoken, Yang Shuo froze, seemingly puzzled by his statements, "I haven’t provoked you."

"Yang Shuo, are you sure?" Li Yifei smiled faintly as his face began to change, reverting to its original appearance, beneath which was a face Yang Shuo knew distinctly well. She gasped, took a few steps back, dropped onto the floor, filled with disbelief.

An ordinary-faced man suddenly transformed into Li Yifei, such a change thoroughly shocked Yang Shuo, even invoked fear, as she couldn’t understand why this was happening.
