Super Soldier in the City

Chapter 2624 - 2688: Ma Guang

But Ma Xingyun, in his fury, wouldn’t listen. Seeing that the Ma family members were still trying to persuade him and even trying to stand between the two, Ma Xingyun’s anger surged uncontrollably. He was already engulfed in rage, with little rationality left. Seeing his own people coming up to obstruct him and unwilling to listen to his words, Ma Xingyun got furious. With a wave of his hand, he swept away the weaker members of the Ma family.

Those few Ma family members rolled and crawled away, and the remaining people were stunned, shouting, "We’re all family! Ma Xingyun, what are you doing?"

"I’m not doing anything. I just want to kill him, so you’d best not stand in my way, lest you be innocently harmed!" Ma Xingyun said coldly, clearly very angry at his own people for blocking him.

"You! You’re confused!" One of Ma Xingyun’s elders stomped his feet in anger, but he couldn’t do anything to stop him. He turned and walked away, while Ma Xingyun snorted, gripping his jade pendant tightly, preparing to infuse True Qi for the third time.

Li Yifei squinted his eyes. He was aware of his condition; he could still fight, and if he couldn’t win, he could still run. So, he wasn’t worried. Of course, he wasn’t as strong as at the beginning, but it was enough. Li Yifei believed he could stand until the end.

As for the opponent... Li Yifei saw Ma Xingyun gripping the jade pendant and calmly asked, "Can you still fight?"

"Haha, why not? Have you already lost the ability to fight?" Ma Xingyun said with a slightly ferocious expression. As he spoke, he was already activating the formation to infuse True Qi. But as soon as the True Qi entered his body, he felt a tearing pain that almost made him scream. It’s no wonder Ma Xingyu’s expression appeared so twisted.

It was foreseeable that even if he won against Li Yifei today, the forced activation of the formation and infusion of True Qi would cause great damage to his body, potentially inflicting long-term injuries.

But he didn’t care anymore. As long as he could get rid of Li Yifei, that was enough for him, because he couldn’t accept the humiliation he’d suffered at the beginning when others were beating him mercilessly.

In fact, at this very moment, Ma Xingyun had developed severe inner demons. Previously, these inner demons were hidden, unlike Li Yifei, who had already overcome such challenges and had a strong heart, immune to interference. Ma Xingyun, however, was different; his previous behaviors confirmed that his mental cultivation was insufficient, far from sufficient.

This guy might not hold on much longer, but during this time, his attacks would become even more frenzied, Li Yifei thought secretly. By now, Li Yifei was also quite exhausted, with no way to replenish his energy, so his condition was naturally inferior to his opponent’s.

Thinking of this, Li Yifei chuckled to himself and muttered, "Who cares, let’s fight first. I refuse to believe that this drug-addicted person can last longer than me."

"Young Master, stop! You’re only harming yourself like this!" a member of the Ma family shouted from a distance. Ma Xingyun immediately turned his head, staring malevolently at him and said, "Today I must kill him. Anyone who stops me is my enemy!"

"Xingyun!" an elder looked at him with a pained expression. Ma Xingyun had gone insane, saying such things.

"You die, I live!" Ma Xingyun began infusing True Qi. The True Qi rampaged wildly within his body, ravaging his Dantian, Meridians, and even the tiny pores, with Spirit Qi flooding in madly at every turn.

You die, I live! Then you die, I live. Li Yifei was not someone easily cowed, and faced with Ma Xingyun’s provocation, he naturally had to respond. Curling his lips into a smirk, Li Yifei decisively abandoned the True Qi Blade, condensing two layers of True Qi Armor on his body. This way, he could conserve some True Qi and decided to return to using his fists and feet.

He realized that Ma Xingyun’s momentum wasn’t as strong as before. It seemed he was at the end of his strength, so Li Yifei had to hold on or even... defeat his opponent in this clash.

Well, the latter option was more reliable. Thinking of this, Li Yifei laughed and took the initiative to attack.

Ma Xingyun’s eyes widened. Seeing Li Yifei approach, he opened his mouth and roared, exhaling a white breath. His palms seemed to grow much larger out of thin air, sweeping towards Li Yifei, creating a whirlwind that blew coldly at him. Yet, Li Yifei neither dodged nor flinched, with one layer of his True Qi Armor shattering on impact, but there was still a second layer, so he remained unharmed.

Li Yifei also delivered a punch, swiftly swinging a whiplike leg. In terms of magical confrontations among cultivators, Li Yifei might not be as deeply rooted as Ma Xingyun, a child of an aristocratic family. However, in brawls, life-and-death struggles, and physical confrontations, Ma Xingyun was no match for Li Yifei, as demonstrated in previous battles. The mere pursuit of refined techniques is somewhat formulaic, which is why Ma Xingyun repeatedly failed.

And Li Yifei... a seasoned master of life-and-death battles. Two years ago, even Murong Yuanqing admitted inferiority, saying he’d likely lose to Li Yifei in a life-and-death duel. That was one of the Five Greatest Experts of China, whereas this opponent... was merely someone who temporarily boosted his strength through cunning methods. How could he possibly defeat Li Yifei?

Pounding sounds rang out continuously as Li Yifei struck, causing an intense tremor in flesh and bone. Ma Xingyun wasn’t feeling good either, as his body reached its limit. Just as pain showed on his face, Li Yifei burst into laughter, leaping toward him like a roc spreading its wings, shouting loudly, with his fists crashing down like meteors.

With a thunderous boom, Li Yifei’s Striking Fist slammed onto Ma Xingyun’s palms. The latter’s knees buckled, forcing him to kneel on the ground, causing the ground to crack upon impact, but his knees were also not left unscathed.

"Take another punch from me!" Li Yifei shouted loudly once more, throwing another punch.

The defeat was clear, Ma Xingyun had already lost. His insistence on injecting True Qi for the third time resulted in... this time he truly couldn’t gather it. Li Yifei seized the opportunity to launch consecutive attacks, disrupting the faint True Qi within his body, leaving him unable to resist.

So when Li Yifei swept his leg, sending Ma Xingyun flying, Li Yifei laughed heartily. Meanwhile, Ma Xingyun, in mid-air, spat out a mouthful of blood, appearing extremely unwilling and angry, but ultimately powerless.

At the same time, a voice full of age sounded from afar, "Xingyun, my grandson!"

Damn it! Li Yifei’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing the voice. Could it be... Ma Guang had arrived? He didn’t have time to rejoice, hurriedly turned to look, and saw a figure leaping up outside the village. The speed was incredibly fast, seeming to cover thirty or forty meters with just a few jumps. This display of agility was enviable, indicating he was an expert.

Li Yifei was on guard, knowing this old man to be murderous, known as the God of Killing back in the day. Li Yifei had only heard of him before, this was the first meeting, and having just injured the opponent’s grandson, the enmity was great.

If the old man acted, Li Yifei would have to flee immediately. He could defeat one Ma Xingyun, but beating Ma Guang was uncertain, even if this opponent was one hundred and thirty or forty years old, appearing very old.

No, he didn’t look old at all. Ma Guang had black hair and eyebrows, no beard, his build wasn’t tall, merely a bit above one meter seventy, yet he looked quite young, around forty or fifty years old. He rushed to Ma Xingyun’s side, extending his hands to urgently touch the grandson’s chest several times.

Watching his back, Li Yifei was ready if the old man showed any sign of murder, he would instantly run. Even if unable to escape, he would ensure Murong Yuanqing and others knew of this incident.

"Xingyun, how could you elevate three times, you foolish child!" Ma Guang said sadly. After being kicked and sent flying by Li Yifei, Ma Xingyun had fallen into a chaotic state. Within him, the True Qi injected the third time went out of control, rampaging through his body, causing blood to gush from all seven orifices, more accurately, from the entire body, making him look very tragic.

Ma Guang pressed one hand on Ma Xingyun’s throat, the other hand pushed upward from his Dantian. When reaching the chest, the other hand split open his throat, simultaneously pressing a jade pendant against it, and after a few seconds, dense and violent Spirit Qi surged out from Ma Xingyun’s throat.

Phew! After a full minute, Ma Guang relaxed, while Ma Xingyun had already fainted, his body limp on the ground.

Taking up the jade pendant, Ma Guang exhaled heavily through his nostrils and instructed the surrounding Ma Family members, "Take Xingyun to my room for treatment. Fetch the appropriate pill from the pill room for him to take."

"Yes!" Several Ma Family members immediately obeyed, carrying Ma Xingyun away.

Many people gathered, making Li Yifei feel the pressure. So many people... most of them possessed cultivation, making it challenging to flee even if Ma Guang didn’t act, given Li Yifei’s current state.

Thus, after assessing the situation, Li Yifei relaxed slightly, thinking... at worst, it was a fight to escape, nothing more.

Thinking this made him feel much better.

"Are you Li Yifei?" Ma Guang turned around, his eyes unwavering like ancient wells, gazing at Li Yifei, his voice seemed to come from afar, difficult to fathom.

Li Yifei cupped his hands towards him, saying, "Greetings, Elder Ma, this junior is indeed Li Yifei!"

Ma Guang’s eyelids twitched, his expression still calm, and he said, "Murong’s disciple is undoubtedly outstanding; at a young age, you’re already among the best of the Innate Experts!"

"Elder, you’re too kind, this junior still has many shortcomings!" Li Yifei couldn’t grasp his approach, but since the elder didn’t come shouting fight or kill, he adhered to protocol, apologetically saying, "Elder, it was this junior’s mistake earlier, shouldn’t have..."

"I know the process, there’s fault on both sides. Since you’re Murong’s disciple, I won’t trouble you. Go rest for now, I’ll cure Xingyun and then see you!" Ma Guang left a sentence, turning away before Li Yifei could refute.

Li Yifei stood there, opening his mouth slightly, somewhat unclear about Ma Guang’s intentions.
