Super Soldier in the City
Chapter 2619 - 2683: Retreating Three Moves in a RowBang! A powerful sound erupted from the point of contact between the two, as if time suddenly froze. Immediately, a colossal force fiercely expanded outward, like a bomb exploding on flat ground. Their first exchange of blows unleashed a fierce True Qi fluctuation, felt even by those dozens of meters away, with some being directly thrown off their feet.
The might of a punch and a palm, fierce beyond measure!
The surrounding people were affected to such an extent, but what about the two in the center, who bore the brunt of the force directly?
The center of their confrontation was anything but calm. Compared to Master Kase and Laxman, whom Li Yifei encountered consecutively, these two were strong as well. A couple of years ago, Li Yifei might have struggled against them, with the outcome uncertain. But now, for Li Yifei, defeating them was like slicing vegetables, extremely easy, which illustrates the gap in mastery.
However, Ma Xingyun does pose a genuine sense of crisis for Li Yifei. Similar to his duel with Satan and the life-and-death battle with the Saint, Li Yifei now feels the same, albeit weaker this time, yet still significant — his opponent is truly skilled, though not completely clear-headed.
The difference in their levels: Ma Xingyun is indeed a master, far superior to Satan and the Saint, hence the immense pressure on Li Yifei.
This prompted Li Yifei to strike with all his might — the first time since dual cultivating with Su Lio over several months, which boosted his power. This was his first full-force blow and the first person to force him to utilize his full strength.
Even though this punch isn’t the entirety of Li Yifei’s strength, it’s undeniably one of his strongest moves. His fist collided with the opponent’s iron palm, and at that moment, the force unleashed was so great that even Li Yifei found it hard to withstand. He retreated two steps, barely stabilizing himself, his rear foot deeply embedded into the ground, and his right fist throbbing with pain.
The hardness of Li Yifei’s fist now; smashing through walls or denting steel plates with ease, yet against Ma Xingyun’s punch, Li Yifei felt the aching pain in his fist as his opponent’s True Qi scorched it, producing a sizzling sound.
Conversely, Ma Xingyun was blown back four steps — accurately, he flew back four steps within a tenth of a second after their confrontation. Ma Xingyun certainly didn’t want to retreat; he knew prior to the battle that he couldn’t afford to step back. The first move had to be handled by him, not his opponent. But at the moment of contact, Ma Xingyun realized something was amiss. Hastily channeling strength to his legs for stabilization, he was rooted too late. An enormous, violent force hurled at him, feeling like a massive sledgehammer hitting his palm. The pain was excruciating, as though his entire hand exploded in that instant, nearly breaking every bone from fingertip to wrist, then forearm to upper arm.
How is this possible! Ma Xingyun’s eyes widened, utterly disbelieving this result. He is an Innate Expert, one of the few masters in existence, yet one punch pushed him back?
Ma Xingyun found this reality hard to accept, but the painful arm convinced him it truly happened.
Ma Xingyun’s expression turned exceedingly grim, his face tightly knitted like he was constipated for days. His famed iron palm was tucked inside his sleeve, True Qi gathering to repair it, yet still shaking uncontrollably.
As the dust settled, they got a good look at each other. Li Yifei looked relaxed, yet focused; his opponent wasn’t weak. Stronger than Laxman and the others, undeniably so. Even his two women back home, Jiang Ningxiang and Xu Shanshan, might struggle against Ma Xingyun, even combined, with minimal odds of success. Adding Su Lio likely wouldn’t help either. They are Innate Experts after all.
This only further illustrates Ma Xingyun’s formidable strength, indeed rare, with arrogant qualifications. But, still slightly lacking. Li Yifei loosened his right hand, relaxed briefly, then clenched again, his fighting spirit renewed, squinting at Ma Xingyun.
Ma Xingyun felt provoked, without needing words. The intense pressure was clear; he summoned a breath of True Qi, reminding himself that he’d underestimated his opponent, thus suffering a setback. This time, he vowed not to experience it again, entailing he must gain the upper hand in the next move.
Embracing this resolve, Ma Xingyun summoned True Qi, charging aggressively towards Li Yifei.
The so-called iron palm involves many variations, each powerful enough to puzzle opponents. It appears straightforward yet hides intricacies, a true martial technique. Ma Xingyun, having gained fame in youth with high mastery and supported by the iron palm technique, hadn’t met defeat for years, even within the Ma Family, except for the old master. Apart from him, Ma Xingyun fears no one, not even his elders.
The second palm called "Mountain Sway" follows the first named "Sun Piercer." The names alone hint at aggressive techniques. With the second palm being the same, a phantom palm appeared before Li Yifei, swiftly passing by, leaving uncertain which shadow was real.
First Mountain Sway, then Sea Stepping. Li Yifei’s eyes snapped open, pinpointing the technique’s path. Utilizing a rising palm strike, he countered decisively. Yet Ma Xingyun wasn’t panicked; after the second palm was broken, he swiftly executed the third move — Sea Stepping. These two moves were inherently combined, resulting in awe-inspiring effects.
Typically, few could compel him to use three consecutive moves. In recent years, the only opponent besides Wang Shaoqing capable of such a feat was none, standing in challenge, and only Wang Shaoqing could withstand three consecutive strikes from Ma Xingyun.
Now, as he executed his third move, first a move to overturn mountains then trample the seas, the palm technique was like a mountain calling and a sea roaring, pressing towards Li Yifei.
In an instant, Li Yifei felt as if a mountain was calling and the sea was roaring before him, a storm was shaking violently, and he himself seemed to become a lone boat amid the great winds and waves, about to capsize at any moment.
True Qi settled, Li Yifei would naturally not sit back and wait for disaster. He did not retreat but advanced instead, his body surged forward, and he used a move similar to Kao Shan Tie. Ma Xingyun obviously didn’t expect that faced with his overturning mountains and trampling seas, Li Yifei would not retreat but advance directly into his embrace, forcing Ma Xingyun to defend, crossing his palms before his chest and pushing outward.
Caught in a trap, Li Yifei’s face revealed a trace of a smile, he suddenly grabbed Ma Xingyun’s wrist, explosively unleashing the power of his whole body, he swung Ma Xingyun up in the air, turning a windmill, after a 360-degree turn, Li Yifei took the opportunity to throw him out, this throw had its own knowledge, it wasn’t just a simple throw.
Ma Xingyun didn’t expect Li Yifei would use such a humiliating move, when Li Yifei grabbed his wrist he already realized things were going bad, but he didn’t expect the other party wanted to swing him into the air, not compete in strength!
Unfortunately, it was too late, he was already swung up, Ma Xingyun lost his footing, now trying to resist was extremely difficult, being forcefully swung by Li Yifei in the air and thrown out afterward, Ma Xingyun felt humiliation overwhelming him as he was in midair.
He flipped and landed, unharmed, but his face was already flushed.
The distant spectators also hadn’t expected such a result, initially, they were all waiting to see Li Yifei being knocked down to the ground by the Young Master, in a miserable state, and then to humiliate him, but suddenly it turned around to the Young Master being thrown out, no, swung into the air, which was too awkward, someone was even ready to shout but stopped themselves by gripping their throat.
If a cheer was to sound at this moment, one could imagine that Ma Xingyun’s face wouldn’t just be flushed with anger.
How dare he, how dare he! Ma Xingyun cried in his heart, his body trembling, since he was little no one dared to humiliate him, especially in recent years when Ma Xingyun’s cultivation reached a certain height, even in Ma Village everyone respected him, even his elders. So, he couldn’t even comprehend the meaning of the word humiliation, because usually, it was he who humiliated others, just because he was stronger than them, he could humiliate.
And now... he was being humiliated, Ma Xingyun’s cheeks puffed up, biting his teeth, his anger had accumulated to the utmost, as if it would erupt any second, being humiliated deserved his anger, but after three moves, the first move he suffered a covert disadvantage, the second move was disrupted, and the third move reached such a situation...
Even though Iron Palm had more than ten follow-up moves, yet... suddenly he wasn’t as confident as before...
Li Yifei tilted his head slightly, calmly said: "Continue!"
Filled with provocation, if it was usual, Li Yifei met such an opponent, he would definitely be very cherishing, he and Satan could fight with mutual admiration, let alone with a Huaxia person, unfortunately, the other’s mind and actions didn’t make Li Yifei feel worthy of cherishment, hence, defeating him quickly was key.
Ma Xingyun closed his eyes, forcibly closed them, biting teeth, a few seconds later opening eyes, giving a weird laugh, saying: "Not bad, have some skill, no wonder you are boasted about!"
"You too, quite rare," Li Yifei said.
Ma Xingyun’s mouth twitched, obviously stimulated, he gritted his teeth, staring at Li Yifei said: "Cultivation is good, it’s rather rare for a renegade path to reach this degree, alas, poor character, today destined to lose."
Liu Yifei raised a hand to knock his temple, as if reminding the other, you’re getting confused again.
Ma Xingyun pulled out an item from his breast, it was a square jade pendant, engraved with some patterns, Li Yifei couldn’t see clearly, but the jade pendant was flowing with its brilliance, looking quite splendid, Li Yifei quietly watched Ma Xingyun take out the jade pendant.
The other is the grandson of Five Great Masters, it’s unusual for him not to have treasures for protection, just don’t know what this thing is, as soon as Ma Xingyun took it out he seemed very confident.
