Chapter 2410 - 2474: A Dying Struggle
"How could he be so powerful?" White Sheep tried to retreat using both hands and feet, but his speed was too slow. Li Yifei’s blade was about to strike him, when suddenly, a shadow charged in from the side—Black Tiger who had been called back to recover by White Sheep saw White Sheep being defeated and about to be struck, disregarded his injuries and charged over.Li Yifei didn’t actually overlook him, yet he was still forced aside by Black Tiger. The Mohist War Blade quickly spun and slashed Black Tiger’s shoulder, severing the entire arm cleanly off, blood spewing wildly. Black Tiger seemed to anticipate such an outcome and maintained a clear mind; even though his arm got chopped off, his other claw latched onto Li Yifei’s wrist, the sharp claws digging in directly causing Li Yifei intense pain from the wrist area.
His other palm slapped Black Tiger’s chest, Li Yifei internally lamented his carelessness, while immediately releasing the grip on the Mohist War Blade, his arm twisted, True Qi exploded forth, a powerful force shook Black Tiger off, yet simultaneously Li Yifei was kicked by Black Tiger.
This kick used Black Tiger’s full strength, after landing it, Li Yifei’s body flew outward, crashing down over ten meters away, and Black Tiger similarly spat several mouthfuls of blood, one arm severed by Li Yifei, injured more severely.
White Sheep jumped from the ground, Black Tiger got injured saving him, White Sheep must repay this sentiment, thus he shouted loudly, rushing towards Li Yifei.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the Holy Maiden and Yellow Cow were in an intense stalemate, Holy Maiden had come out this time without carrying any weapons, yet Yellow Cow wielded a warhammer tightly in a defensive manner, this woman’s force seemed endless, able to wield such a heavy hammer freely, almost perversely.
Despite this, Holy Maiden wasn’t falling behind. The opponent had great strength, but except for strength, was weaker in other aspects, at least much weaker for Holy Maiden, making it not too difficult for her to cope.
"We were careless, misjudging your capabilities, yet..." White Sheep gripped his twin blades, striding toward Li Yifei, the Mohist War Blade was right ahead, White Sheep stepped on it, pressing lightly it sank into the soil, snorting heavily from the nostrils and glaring, he declared, "Your reliance on weapons is gone, let’s see how impressive you are now. Black Tiger, I’ll avenge your disgrace!"
Li Yifei rubbed his chest, luckily he summoned a layer of True Qi Armor to protect his body beforehand, otherwise, Black Tiger’s relentless kick would’ve caused internal injury. Even with True Qi Armor, his chest stings from that kick.
Standing up from the ground, Li Yifei shook his wrist, the right hand grasping the blade wounded by Black Tiger’s nails, with two nails piercing the wrist directly, injuring the muscles and veins. Li Yifei sealed the veins’ acupoints with True Qi, eyes squinted at White Sheep, saw him stepping on the Mohist War Blade into the dirt, a chill rose within Li Yifei. If earlier he wanted to kill these men merely ordinarily, now Li Yifei genuinely wanted them dead.
Minor injury meant little; the disgrace to the Mohist War Blade meant much. Li Yifei could even sense the proud Mohist War Blade emotionally eager for vengeance, so Li Yifei sneered mockingly, eyes with amusement staring at White Sheep who had stepped up before him, said, "White Sheep, right? Though you’ve read my profile, you clearly don’t understand me enough, not knowing my greatest reliance isn’t weapons!"
"Huh?" White Sheep felt a chill in his heart, just about to respond, saw Li Yifei suddenly surge forward, left hand clenched in a long punch rushing over. "I also have a blade," White Sheep shouted internally, both hands shaking repeatedly, white light flashing, trident blades meeting Li Yifei.
Li Yifei opened his eyes wide, yet wasn’t flustered; he had spoken the truth earlier, weapons weren’t his reliance, but sometimes having weapons versus not does make a difference, thus when just about to meet White Sheep head-on, suddenly two long white blades about 1.2 meters long and over ten centimeters wide appeared in his hand.
These abruptly emerging blades made White Sheep pause his attention, unable to fathom how these blades materialized, because they were formed by True Qi, seeming tremendously powerful, by the time he reacted trying to evade, it was too late.
White Sheep had bullied Li Yifei for being weaponless, didn’t anticipate Li Yifei would suddenly produce two True Qi Blades, these blades entered his ribs, penetrating the heart and lungs respectively, directly piercing through his body.
White Sheep almost without any reaction got impaled by both blades, blood spurted from his mouth, Li Yifei dodged aside, after the True Qi Blades inserted, they were counteracted by White Sheep’s own force so the blades quickly disappeared, yet symmetrically huge wounds remained there, blood gushed out immediately.
Li Yifei’s dodge was the right choice, avoiding the consequence of blood splattering on him.
Phoo! Just managed to stop the arm’s bleeding earlier, Black Tiger saw this scene and couldn’t help but be enraged, originally the three thought killing Li Yifei and the Holy Maiden wouldn’t be difficult, but now... not only have they failed, but one ended with a severed arm, another pierced through by double blades.
Watching White Sheep stagger backward several steps, seemingly clutching powerlessly at something, the blade slipped from his hands, Black Tiger roared rushing forth.
Li Yifei stopped and stood, these men might be formidable, yet a slight gap still existed. In a top expert confrontation, a tiny gap meant a significant difference, not to mention these men underestimated him, misjudging their enemy was a huge mistake, especially an enemy with exceedingly strong abilities.
The body of White Sheep collapsed; he wasn’t dead, but his heart was pierced, and his lungs were punctured. His body was bleeding heavily, so his strength was rapidly draining away. Before he hit the ground, Black Tiger rushed over, grabbed White Sheep with one hand, and called out loudly.
White Sheep coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood, still unable to believe it. He weakly raised his hand and said intermittently, "I never thought... I never thought I would die here."
"If you’re not as skilled, you still want to kill?" Li Yifei said blandly.
Over there, Yellow Cow had also stopped, looking at the scene in disbelief. She had been fighting intensely with the Saintess and hadn’t paid much attention to this side of things. Hearing Black Tiger’s shout, she turned her head, only to see White Sheep lying on the ground. Black Tiger also had lost an arm—how could this be possible?
White Sheep’s expression was quite spectacular upon hearing Li Yifei’s words. A few seconds later, he nodded with difficulty, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and said, "Indeed, if you’re not as skilled, you deserve to die, deserve to die!"
Black Tiger’s body was trembling violently as he said, "White Sheep, I... I’ve brought medicine. Don’t speak now, gather your True Qi, and get ready to take the medicine."
"Forget it, that medicine... it’s too painful," White Sheep refused.
However, Black Tiger had already started reaching into his pocket with one hand. Li Yifei was curious about what medicine they were talking about, but they were enemies. If Black Tiger got stronger after taking it, it would be trouble for him. So Li Yifei walked over to the Mohist War Blade, bent down, and pulled it out of the ground. A tremor of True Qi shook the dirt off the blade. As Li Yifei released his True Qi, he could feel the anger emanating from the Mohist War Blade. As a combat partner, Li Yifei naturally had to avenge it.
He walked briskly towards Black Tiger. The latter shakily took out a pill and opened the bottle with one hand, intending to give it to White Sheep.
A black knife was held horizontally in front of him. Li Yifei looked at him with an amused expression. Black Tiger’s actions froze, and he looked up at Li Yifei. After a few seconds, he said, "Li Yifei, you..."
"What do you mean, you? As a defeated subordinate, did you get my permission to save him?" Li Yifei said.
White Sheep grinned, his breathing was already labored, and his face turned increasingly dark purple. Hearing Li Yifei’s words, he said, "I underestimated the enemy. Black Tiger, Yellow Cow, don’t worry about me, just run. Although the two of them are strong, if you are determined to run, they may not be able to stop you!"
"I’m not as optimistic as you are!" Li Yifei tilted his head and said, "Even if they run now, I’m afraid they won’t get far. White Sheep, you never realized one thing... You, and these two, oh, called Holy Beasts, right? You were never stronger than me in the first place, and then you despised me, which means you gave up the limited hope you had. I’ve explained it to you so you can rest in peace, right?"
"Underestimated... underestimated the enemy, haha." After White Sheep finished speaking, he closed his eyes, exhaled deeply, and his body gradually calmed down. However, the two bloody holes in front of him kept oozing blood and pieces of bodily tissue.
Black Tiger let out a long howl to the sky, and sharp claws emerged from his one arm, rushing toward Li Yifei. Li Yifei brandished the Mohist War Blade with a series of swishes, weaving a net of blades at Black Tiger. Black Tiger swung his single arm, and the sound of metal clashing could be heard; Black Tiger was sent flying backward, staggering to a stop. He painfully raised his hand to see that his proud beast-like claws had been completely severed by Li Yifei’s Mohist War Blade, chopped off brutally.
Black Tiger was horrified; White Sheep was essentially confirmed to be dead, and now he’d lost an arm, with the other hand nearly disabled. If he didn’t escape immediately, he would likely die here as well.
But... I’m Black Tiger, one of the Twelve Holy Beasts of Noah’s Ark Organization, the powerful Black Tiger. How can I run away? Thinking of this, Black Tiger directly tossed the medicine into his mouth and swallowed it.
This medicine was given to them by the captain of the Noah’s Ark Organization; each of the Twelve Holy Beasts had one. It was not to be taken unless in an emergency because the medicine was too domineering, and the consequences were unknown. The Black Dog from the Twelve Holy Beasts had taken it before, and it resulted in him turning into a mad dog. Although he killed all the enemies, he was later tormented by the medicine to the point where he is still locked in a prison at the headquarters, guarded strictly.
Black Tiger didn’t want to wait any longer. His eyes became even bloodier; he only wanted to kill Li Yifei, to avenge everyone. So he directly took the medicine, even if it turned him into a mad dog like Black Dog. He was willing to pay that price.
