Super Soldier in the City

Speaking of which, Su Lio added, "It’s you who are against us, shielding a person who deserves to die. Oh no, if you check the online reviews about Li Da, calling him a beast would be a compliment, yet you want to save such a person. I don’t know what you’re thinking, but it’s quite frightening and very disappointing. I never imagined you would be so indiscriminating, such a jerk!"

Li Xiang’s face and even all his muscles tightened. With the word ’jerk’ spoken, he felt as if a heavy hammer hit his heart, a wave of unbearable pain surged, his temples throbbed and even bulged.

Slowly raising his head, Li Xiang’s red eyes emitted a murderous aura as he said coldly, "Su Lio, since you look down on me this way, what else is there to say? To you, I’m already worthless. Haha, your eyes only see that despicable man, what can I say? Twenty years of childhood friendship can’t compare to a wild man, hahaha, and I, Li Xiang, am not someone who gets entangled. Since you’ve said so, I’ll stop bothering you, and we part ways. From now on, we’ll just be strangers."

Su Lio sighed, finally understanding a truth: some people are unreasonable to a certain extent, if you point it out, they not only won’t accept correction but will become more extreme.

"Li Xiang, since it’s like this, let’s forget the past. But I still have to say, if you continue to cause trouble because of Li Da, you’ll bear the consequences. You might find that you too will be affected."

"Haha, affected? I came to take someone, if you won’t give them, it doesn’t matter, we’ll see in the future, the Li family from Ning Province, hahaha, it’s just a joke!" Li Xiang’s expression twisted, a faint reddish breath emerged from his head, causing Li Yifei’s eyes to narrow slightly. The redness on the opponent’s head was somewhat peculiar, not an evil qi, but gave a subtly odd feeling.

"Having one of the five greatest experts of China in the family is indeed the strongest asset, but it’s not your reason to be arrogant, because the powerful one is the elder, not you. As for you now, even with some progress in cultivation, it’s just better than ordinary people. Where does your confidence come from?" Li Yifei’s calm voice came, carrying a seemingly commanding power, which made even the redness on Li Xiang’s head fade.

"Hoo!" Li Xiang clenched his fist, took two heavy steps forward, his voice low, "Who do you think you are, daring to lecture me? My family elders fought for the country and family all their lives, shouldn’t they deserve respect? As for me, though I haven’t been cultivating long, my talent is high, dealing with a clown like you is nothing."

"Hahaha!" Li Yifei’s face didn’t change, his aura released, the fierce aura made Li Xiang step back a few steps involuntarily, showing surprise on his face, clearly not expecting Li Yifei to be this strong. He knew about aura, hence his surprise! "Who do you think you are?"

"Want to fight? Fine, Li Yifei, let’s have a showdown!" Li Xiang concentrated his True Qi to counter Li Yifei’s aura. He had seen the family ancestor take action, which was like an overwhelming momentum, and the aura Li Yifei just displayed made him think it was a master of that caliber. But on second thought, how could Li Yifei match the ancestor? Li Xiang didn’t believe it, so he was still confident in beating Li Yifei. Even if he couldn’t win, it wouldn’t matter; he had been cultivating for just over a year. In the long course of decades to a hundred years, he would eventually defeat Li Yifei.

Li Yifei squinted his eyes, really wanting to teach Li Xiang a lesson, but Su Lio stepped forward, extending her hand in front of Li Yifei, saying, "Husband, let me handle this one, as Li Xiang is my friend. His offense to you is my apology, so let me fight!"

"What?" Li Xiang’s eyes widened instantly, shaking his head the next second, "You must be joking, Su Lio, get out of my way. Don’t think standing there will make me refrain from acting, I’ve changed, and I’m strong now. Thinking you can stop me on your own is foolish!"

"You’re quite shameless!" Su Lio’s cold voice came, instantly triggering Li Xiang. He had been stimulated too much since yesterday, far more than his entire life. Li Xiang immediately retorted: "This is your last chance, step aside now! Though I’m disappointed in you, I won’t hit you. Hitting a woman is disgraceful."

"You realize hitting a woman is disgraceful? Haha, then why aren’t you disgusted by what Li Da did? Not only does he hit, but he also murdered a girl in her prime, yet you want to protect such scum. Li Xiang, how noble do you think you are?" Su Lio’s words were fierce, causing the muscles around Li Xiang’s eyes to twitch, he exhaled deeply, murmuring, "Enough, enough! Su Lio, stop pushing my limits. I bear with you because I like you, otherwise..."

"I am telling you this as a friend; otherwise, I would have taught you a lesson long ago. Your family’s ancestor is indeed a master and contributed greatly to this country, deserving respect. But who are you? What have you done worthy of respect? Why should others yield to you, Li Xiang? Don’t know if you go online, but there’s a saying lately that makes a lot of sense!" Pausing here, Su Lio continued, "Not everyone in the world is your parents; others have no reason to yield to you, neither my husband nor I, especially after you’ve repeatedly offended him. By rank, those who qualify to speak to him should be your grandfather’s generation, not you!"

Li Xiang was slapped mentally, and it was Su Lio who did it. Her words were like daggers piercing Li Xiang’s facade, making him nearly lose composure. Li Xiang chaotically said, "Enough, Su Lio, you’re going too far, I... if you’re going to fight, then let’s fight, don’t blame me for being merciless."

Li Xiang was unaware of Su Lio’s situation, thinking he could easily set Su Lio aside without much effort.

"You better go all out," Su Lio said, winking back at Li Yifei to reassure him.

Li Yifei nodded, not too worried about Su Lio. Though she had been cultivating for only a few months, far less than Li Xiang, Su Lio had the Sky Yin Absolute Vein, a special constitution, essentially born cultivating with twenty years of accumulated energy led out by Li Yifei through Dual Cultivation Technique, allowing her to leap into becoming an Innate Expert. Li Xiang, after all, had only been cultivating for over a year. The gap, not to mention with Li Yifei, also with Su Lio, was significant; he could at best be a minor expert, while Su Lio had already stepped into the Innate Realm as an Innate Expert.

Though her combat ability might be a bit inferior, the difference in realms is an insurmountable gap. Didn’t see that when she couldn’t control her strength at the beginning, Li Yifei would be flying all over the place? That’s the absolute advantage.

Therefore, Li Yifei wasn’t too worried, but remained cautiously alert, ready to intervene in case of real danger. After all, he couldn’t let Su Lio be in danger.

Li Xiang saw the mutual affection between the two opposite him, struck again in the heart. He was unwilling, he, Li Xiang, was from a prominent family, with few matches in all Huaxia. Though playful before, after cultivation he improved rapidly. Why did Su Lio not like him, when he was not bad-looking, with a good family background, and high personal ability...

Su Lio stood with her hands behind her back, legs slightly apart, five meters from Li Xiang, saying, "Alright, let’s begin!"

"You... you can still back out, I don’t want to hit a woman, especially not you!" Li Xiang’s chest heaved, still unable to calm down.

"If I move first, you won’t have the chance." Su Lio said confidently.

Li Xiang got another poke, he gritted his teeth, "I’ll let you strike three times!"

"Not even once needed, Li Xiang, sometimes you’re too naive. It’s not just you progressing, others progress too, and you’re not exceptionally talented; others’ speed exceeds your imagination. So, if I tell you to make a move, you should." Mid-sentence, Li Xiang wanted to ask what it meant, but he soon understood. Like Li Yifei, Su Lio released her aura. Her aura carried a Cold Yin Energy, produced by her special constitution, not an evil qi. This seemingly soft energy, once it impacted, made Li Xiang feel like his body was wrapped in ice water, and in a short few seconds without reacting, he felt slightly immobile.

Though not severe, it indeed startled him, quickly mustering his True Qi to resist, shouting loudly, "You... how do you have cultivation?"

"That’s why I said, it’s not only you progressing!" Su Lio smiled mysteriously, leaving Li Xiang feeling incredulous, "Impossible, your body was in such poor condition, even if the coldness resolved, it shouldn’t have cultivated such strong True Qi!"

"Many things are unbelievable, are you going to make a move?" Su Lio said eagerly, unable to find anyone at home to spar with, occasionally practicing with Jiang Ningxiang but never fulfillingly, only feeling satisfied when sparring with Li Yifei. Now sparring with the enraged Li Xiang, Su Lio was slightly anticipating.

Li Xiang braced himself, unable to shake the frustration. Who would have thought Su Lio could change so much, no wonder she dared to stand in front of Li Yifei.

"Li Yifei, are you just going to hide behind a woman? Still a man?" Li Xiang was somewhat uneasy, the aura Su Lio exhibited just now worried him, fearing he might not win...

Li Yifei crossed his arms leisurely said, "To challenge me, you have to defeat Ali first."
