Blind Spot

Chapter 223: 211 Feiliu 3

Association Building.

Liu Tongbei leisurely emerged from the restroom, his face the picture of relief.

"Refreshing!"

He rubbed his stomach. His only interest in life was eating—an indulgence he couldn’t abstain from.

So food poisoning was a common occurrence.

Edible or inedible, he had to try everything at least once, a self-inflicted fate.

Previously, on a whim, he had wanted to try a new seasoning still in the lab phase from a friend, and he became hooked...

Walking through the pristine corridors of the Association Building, his mood brightened again.

Recently, as incidents decreased and control tightened, the Blind Spot Individuals occasionally causing trouble also stopped due to the hope that Ming Yuan provided.

Everything was developing in a positive direction.

He felt that coming to this jurisdiction was the right decision. Being a part of the Eleven Flows, moving to the Central Nine Provinces was looked down upon.

After all, this region mainly focused on developing the economic logistics, with mostly low-end industrial chains and strong substitutability; there weren’t many experts here, not even enough for exchanges and sparring.

But this place was great for retirement!

Liu Tongbei hummed a tune and buckled his belt, ready to continue his relaxation at the massage center he visited the day before.

"Your son’s on the phone!"

"Your son’s on the phone!"

Suddenly, a loud ringtone echoed from his pocket.

He fished out his phone, an unfamiliar number displayed, and lazily answered the call.

"Hello? Who is this?"

"Commissioner Liu? This is Li Shenhui from Zhongyi University. I intend to visit your jurisdiction for a business trip. Please provide Heavenly Eye security identification," a cold, hoarse female voice said on the other end of the line.

"Ah... No problem. Zhongyi University’s Li Shenhui, okay..." Liu Tongbei pressed a silver necklace hanging from his neck, and a projection screen materialized before him.

Tapping away on the screen, he soon confirmed the completion.

He had already taken care of the Heavenly Eye security identification.

"Thank you for your trouble," the voice on the phone said.

"It’s nothing. May I ask, what are you planning to do over here?" Liu Tongbei inquired casually.

"Oh, I’ve heard that Fengnan Province has a good climate and is pleasant to live in, so I’m coming for a tour," she replied.

That sounded like a lie!

Liu Tongbei scoffed internally, but he maintained a belief on the surface.

"Well then, if you need help, you can directly contact the Association’s phone line and speak to a staff member. I will make sure your name is passed on to them."

"Thank you, Commissioner."

"Don’t mention it."

The call ended.

Liu Tongbei stood still for a moment, touching the smart lifestyle-assistance bracelet on his wrist—the latest gift from Xindela.

He immediately used his phone to dial another number.

"Hello. Young Brother Li, there’s something I need to discuss with you..."

Within Everpeace Garden.

Li Chengyi put down the phone, deep in thought.

He was about to leave for Luo An, and he didn’t expect someone from Zhongyi University to arrive so soon.

"Regardless of Liu Tongbei’s exaggeration, I need to experience their true power for myself to know."

Considering the influence of Rainbow Candy, as well as his own Association identity, according to Liu Tongbei, the other party wouldn’t kill but would strike as a warning.

After pondering for a moment.

He stood up and exited the front door of the living room.

At this moment, all members of his team were guarding the base in Yunshan, leaving him alone here.

The entire estate seemed somewhat desolate.

Li Chengyi paid no attention to these details and walked out of Everpeace Garden, activating the blocker on his person. He headed towards the outskirts of the city, outside the reach of Heavenly Eye.

His speed increased more and more, faster and faster.

In a moment, a silver metallic line flashed beneath his feet.

He had completely left the range of Heavenly Eye and entered the wilderness between cities.

In an era reliant on underground transportation systems for exchanging goods, the intercity regions had become true zones of chaos.

The sky was somewhat overcast, with thick clouds like a quilt blocking out the sun completely.

Below, amidst the continuous stretch of mountains and forests, lay a somewhat old and damaged straight highway.

Li Chengyi began to run, appearing as an insignificant black dot on the road.

Very soon.

He passed through a dense forest that obscured the road from view.

When he reappeared, he was dressed in a dark wisteria-colored Wisteria Floral Dress.

Purple fluorescent light, like circuits, slowly flowed over his body.

Thud.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, stood upright, and turned to look in the direction of Suiyang City.

’They’re coming.’

A chill went through Li Chengyi’s heart; the speed of the opponent’s response was too fast, clearly possessing an extremely strong wide-area surveillance capability.

Hum.

In the distant sky, a deep blue silhouette was rapidly shooting towards his location.

As the distance closed, Li Chengyi was somewhat surprised to find that the silhouette’s speed was not even as fast as Ding Zaocheng and the others.

It wasn’t even supersonic.

Having fought many times, he had an intuitive understanding of what supersonic speed entailed.

So at this moment, he could tell at a glance that the silhouette was not moving fast.

The distance kept shrinking.

Soon, the silhouette approached within about a hundred meters.

Only then did Li Chengyi clearly see what it was.

It was a blue short sword without a guard, about the length of a forearm. The entire body resembled a fish, and its surface shimmered with incomprehensible black complex symbols. The edge of the blade rippled with subtle white airflow, the source of which was unknown.

’Flower Language Technique: Firmness.’

Li Chengyi crouched, watching the short sword intently.

A layer of golden light flashed across his body.

Zi.

Soon, the short sword came to a halt in midair about ten meters away from him.

"Thug, you shouldn’t have messed with Kadis from Noel Group," a grating synthesized voice spoke from the sword.

"Who are you?" Li Chengyi demanded in a deep tone. "From Noel Group?"

"You don’t need to know who I am. I’m here because you disabled Kadis," the voice from the sword replied.

"Planning to take revenge for her?" Li Chengyi asked.

The other party no longer responded.

Clearly, they wanted him to understand the reason why he was being attacked. This was a warning to Li Mingyuan, that further actions against the Noel Group would not be tolerated.

As the attacker, it had to be said that their style... was quite distinctive.

Before attacking someone, they would notify them first, and then make their move.

Li Chengyi felt something odd in his heart.

"I will strike three times, whether you live or die depends on your strength," the voice from the short sword rang out again.

Quite a rule-follower indeed.

Li Chengyi suppressed the strangeness in his heart and focused intently on his opponent.

His body, enhanced by dragon blood, now gathered its senses; suddenly everything around him seemed much clearer and slower.

Bang!!

In an instant, a burst of blue light exploded from the tail end of the short sword.

Under the terrible acceleration, the short sword instantly turned into a blue streak, shooting towards Li Chengyi’s chest.

But this speed, although fast, was still not the speed of sound.

’I can react to it!’

Li Chengyi, holding the Golden Sword in his hand, swerved to his side and made a diagonal slash.

Clang!!

The Golden Sword and the short sword collided head-on, as expected.

But it was this collision that changed Li Chengyi’s expression.

Like tofu, the Golden Sword silently shattered.

Not cut, but directly exploded, shattered into dozens of fragments that scattered in all directions.

The blue short sword continued flying towards his chest, undiminished in speed.

In the blink of an eye.

At such a close distance, not even his dragon-transformed body could react in time.

Hiss.

The short sword pierced the outer layer of the Floral Dress, heading deep into the skin and flesh.

Boom!

A dazzling burst of golden light suddenly exploded.

Glint Flash!!

With a strong impact, the golden light slammed hard into the short sword.

The sword veered off, brushed by the side.

Hiss!

A half-meter-long sword mark cut open half of Li Chengyi’s Wisteria Floral Dress from his chest.

He staggered back several steps and looked down at his chest.

The durability of the Wisteria Flowers wasn’t enough to block it!

Without hesitation.

The Floral Dress dissipated, transforming into countless Sunflower petals.

The Titan Sunflower Ultimate Form, the strongest in defense amongst the Floral Dresses, quickly enveloped him.

At this moment, the short sword flew towards him again.

Glint Flash!!

Boom!

An even more blinding golden light, along with the scattered Radiance Field, scorched the road surface until it turned slightly black.

But this time, the short sword flashed sharply, moving a short distance to the left on its own, perfectly dodging the mightiest blast of the Glint Flash.

Hiss!

Li Chengyi blocked the incoming sword with his shield-like golden right hand.

But his palm was sliced open by a smooth cut more than ten centimeters deep.

The short sword flew off to the side and then circled back.

Li Chengyi raised his hand to block with his right hand again.

But that bizarre sidestep happened once more!

The sword suddenly shifted, moving down by more than ten centimeters, hitting him square in the waist.

The blade, with no resistance, sank into the scale mail and into the flesh.

In an instant, Li Chengyi turned with all his might, his body’s Floral Dress rapidly dispersing and transforming into the Feilian Floral Dress of dark purple and black.

Whoosh!

Black mist rolled and swirled outwards.

He had already vanished from his original spot.

Half a second later, under a nearby tree shade, shadows converged, and Li Chengyi’s figure silently appeared, kneeling on the ground and clutching his abdomen.

That kind of sidestep... what was it all about!?

And the penetrative power was too strong, wasn’t it??!

When he had withstood the attacks of Ding Zaocheng and others using Flying Yi, his Floral Dress was far from being as layered and solid as now, and he was able to hold on with just minor injuries.

Now he couldn’t withstand even a single hit.

If he hadn’t shifted into Shadow Mode at the last moment, his waist would have certainly been penetrated.

Without hesitation.

Li Chengyi looked at the blue short sword circling the original spot without a target.

Immediately, his figure flashed, disappearing from his location and heading towards the deeper part of the forest.

The three strikes were over, and his purpose had been achieved.

That was to test the true strength of the Feiyi Masters.

Now he knew.

No wonder these high-level Feiyi Masters cut through Utopia’s Ultimate Forms like slicing through grandchildren, taking down this biggest terrorist organization and driving it out of the country in a few moves.

No wonder the highest level of the Reinforced Humans is the Ultimate Form, refusing to put their true bodies on the line.

With the speed and lethality of the Feiyi Master’s strikes.

Without using attrition tactics, a direct confrontation was truly unwinnable.

In the forest, Li Chengyi continuously used Flash Appearance on the shadows.

Each flash covered a distance of ten meters, but the direction was unpredictable, completely elusive.

After several minutes like this.

He was completely away from the highway, back inside the Heavenly Eye line.

After crossing the Heavenly Eye line.

He stopped flashing, examining his abdomen closely.

The Floral Dress on his lower abdomen had a clear cut, the formidable defense broken through as if it were nothing.

’That bizarre sidestep, coupled with the terrifying cutting power... even though its speed is not much different from a common Flying Yi, but... it’s impossible to defend against!’

Being undefendable was the key.
