Chapter 31: Hopeless
Chapter 31: Hopeless
Li Xiaofei's expression remained unchanged. Reluctantly, he tore his gaze away from the armored RV and praised, "This vehicle is impressive."
The silver-haired warrior sneered, "Don't even dream about it. You couldn't afford such a war vehicle even if you were a dog for a lifetime."
The red-haired female warrior also sneered, "Then again, even if it were given to you, scum like you couldn't afford to maintain it."
"There's no need to give it to me," Li Xiaofei said with a cheerful smile. "We're just passing acquaintances. How could I accept such an expensive gift?"
"You lowly scum, at least you have some self-awareness," the silver-haired warrior laughed mockingly.
But before he finished, a fist the size of a large cooking pot had already slammed heavily into the silver-haired warrior's chest. It was the first move of the Great Strength Vajra Fist, the Vajra Thunderous Strike
The move emphasized speed and powerful force, allowing for a rapid closing of distance. Li Xiaofei had struck without any warning, and no one had time to react.
Boom!
The force of the punch sounded like an explosion.
"You..." The silver-haired warrior was stunned, then immediately roared in anger. He never imagined that Li Xiaofei would dare to launch a sneak attack.
Fortunately, the red beast armor he wore blocked 30 percent of the force, and his battle-hardened instincts managed to dissipate another 30 percent. Still, the remainder of the blow injured him so severely that he spat out blood.
"I'll kill you, I will..." The fury in the silver-haired warrior's heart was almost enough to burn the void itself. However, what greeted him was Li Xiaofei's second punch.
Crack, crack, crack.
A series of bone-cracking sounds echoed in the air, and the anger in the silver-haired warrior's eyes instantly turned to despair. He clearly felt a strange, oscillating force that bypassed his beast armor and shattered his chest, back, and spine. Blood spewed from every orifice.
"There's really no need to gift it," Li Xiaofei bared his teeth in a grin. "If I kill all of you, won't this vehicle become mine?"
It was only then that the bearded warrior and the red-haired female warrior realized what had happened.
"Third Brother!"
Both of them attacked simultaneously. They were both battle-hardened veterans who had danced on the edge of a knife. Their combat experience was undeniable, yet today, they had been outwitted by a boy from the slums.
Blades flashed as cold as the harshest winter ice. The thrust of the slender sword resembled plum blossoms blooming in the cold as both of them struck with lethal intent.
Shhh! Shhh! Shhh!
Blades and sword light danced. Li Xiaofei’s clothes were quickly dyed red as the two eighth stage Qi Refining Realm experts coordinated skillfully to put him in a dire situation. Li Xiaofei could only rely on the marvel of the Great Strength Vajra Fist to contend against an eighth stage opponent while he was in the fifth stage of the Qi Refining Realm. However, he immediately found himself at a disadvantage against two eighth stage experts and teetered on the edge of danger.
Fortunately, the Great Strength Vajra Fist was incredibly powerful, especially the powerful vibration of the second move. The bearded warrior and the red-haired female also did not dare to confront Li Xiaofei's reckless, death-defying fighting style head-on.
The battle fell into a temporary stalemate, but at this rate, Li Xiaofei would sooner or later be exhausted to death.
On the other side, the fair-skinned, bald fat man was cradling the silver-haired man in his arms and carefully examined him.
"He's beyond saving," he said with a hint of sorrow in his eyes. "All his bones are shattered."
Today had truly been a disaster. They thought that dealing with a small punk from the slums would be a piece of cake with their combined strength, equipment, and experience. But they had been careless, and had lost the third brother among their sworn siblings.
"Second Brother, Fourth Sister, fall back." The bald, white fat man said coldly, "I want to tear this little bastard apart with my own hands."
The bearded man and the red-haired female warrior's figures flickered as they withdrew from the battle. They moved in unison to flank Li Xiaofei, effectively cutting off any escape routes.
When they saw their leader's expression, the two looked at Li Xiaofei with a hint of pity and sympathy. They knew all too well how cruel and terrifying their boss' methods were. Even the toughest man would be brutally reduced to giblets in his hands.
Li Xiaofei straightened as he panted. He took off his blood-soaked school uniform and tossed it aside with a flourish. His muscular, tanned body was crisscrossed with more than twenty wounds. Though none of them had reached the bone, they were all oozing blood.
He didn't choose to run away because he knew he couldn't escape. His opponents' movement techniques were far superior to his own. He took a moment to quickly adjust the roiling starforce within his body and restore his strength.
The bald, fat man emanated a violent aura as he approached. His massive, obese frame exuded a dangerous energy that almost felt suffocating. He was an absolutely terrifying opponent. He was so terrifying that, at that moment, Li Xiaofei couldn’t suppress the fear that arose. He almost felt like he couldn’t throw a punch at this monster of a man.
"I will tear you apart piece by piece, and shove your head up your ass." The bald, fat man said, enunciating each word clearly. "I'll make sure you see it happen..."
Li Xiaofei suddenly spoke, "Excuse me, sorry to interrupt, may I ask your esteemed surname?"
The bald, fat man was taken aback and instinctively replied, "Surname Jia..."
Li Xiaofei continued, "And which stage of the Qi Refining Realm are you at now?"
"Ninth..." the bald, fat man finally realized what was happening and roared furiously, "You little bastard, you’re looking for death..."
"Thank you," Li Xiaofei said as he gathered all the Starforce Qi in his body and threw a punch. He used the second move of the Great Strength Vajra Fist, the Vajra Earth-Shaking Blow. The most powerful punch he had currently mastered.
The force of the punch burst through the air, creating a visible vacuum in the void. The turbulent air roared like a pale golden dragon, twisting and writhing as it surged towards the fat man.
The power of this punch caused the expressions on the bearded warrior and the red-haired female warrior to change slightly. They both knew that if Li Xiaofei had enough time to gather his strength and unleash such a punch, they wouldn't be able to withstand it if they were fighting him alone.
But the fat man was different. He stood there like a mountain of flesh, his white fat jiggling as he took the punch head-on.
He's not even dodging or defending?
Li Xiaofei was overjoyed as the force of the Vajra Earth-Shaking Blow poured out wildly.
Let's see if this punch will turn you into a pile of mush or not.
Whoosh.
The fat on the man’s body rippled wildly as the terrifying aftershock of the punch erupted from Li Xiaofei's fist. But in the next moment, Li Xiaofei's expression changed drastically.
As the fat on the man's body kept trembling, Li Xiaofei's force was somehow dissipated. It felt as if he had punched a rubber surface covered in soapy water.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Li Xiaofei threw several more punches in quick succession. The fat on the man's body trembled even more violently, absorbing and dissipating all the force.
Damn it! What kind of technique is this? Sticky Shirt Eighteen Falls? Or perhaps Borrowing Force to Counter Force?
"What a weak and pitiful waste." The fat man sneered, a sadistic smile appearing on his face. His massive hand, which was as large as a giant fan, swung down at Li Xiaofei.
The air let out a thunderous boom as the hand passed through it. It was so immensely powerful that Li Xiaofei was knocked out of the shock of his punch failing. His first instinct was to counterattack, so he threw a punch straight at the incoming hand.
Boom!
HIs fist met the giant palm of the fat man. The deafening explosion sounded like a heavy artillery shell detonating.
"Heh, your strength is far from enough, you worthless trash.” The fat man sneered disdainfully, his massive palm gripping Li Xiaofei's hand.
Li Xiaofei struggled with all his might. Despite his natural strength and the power of the Vajra Fist, he couldn't break free from the man's grip.
The fat man looked down at him with a cruel smile. "My technique is called Giant Force Divine Armor. The Starforce Qi of the ninth stage grants the absolute power of the tenth stage..."
As he spoke, his fingers began to slowly tighten around Li Xiaofei's hand. Li Xiaofei's hand immediately deformed as the faint sound of bones cracking rang in the air.
"I will crush your fist piece by piece, then your arm, and your limbs... I'll crush every inch of your bones." The fat man said, eager to see the look of despair and pleading in Li Xiaofei's eyes.
However, Li Xiaofei merely grinned back at him. "See you in thirty days."
