Chapter 118: Chapter 102: Desperate Counterkill

"Attack together, kill this Li Yi, we can’t let him leave the Ruined District alive, otherwise, we’ll all be wanted by the Investigation Bureau."

Knife, while charging at Li Yi, didn’t forget to roar lowly to remind the other Spirit Medium Realm vagrants around him to take action.

Yang Ye’s fall had been so sudden that he didn’t want to see any more accidents, so he immediately called for everyone to surround and kill Li Yi here, making sure he wouldn’t survive.

Luckily, before Yang Ye collapsed, he had already inflicted serious damage on Li Yi, which greatly relieved their pressure.

The other Spirit Medium Realm vagabonds were momentarily stunned by Knife’s shout, then came to their senses and their faces turned ferocious as they all charged toward Li Yi.

Knife was the first to reach Li Yi.

Although he had not learned any Techniques, and his strength was far inferior to Yang Ye’s, he was still a Cultivator who had opened his inspiration realm; he survived the cutthroat life in the Ruined District. Now acting ruthlessly, handling an injured Li Yi seemed like an easy catch.

Just as Li Yi had seized the opportunity to defeat Yang Ye and hadn’t had time to recover, he felt a vast force slam into his chest.

"Die!" Knife thundered, his body exploding with power as he delivered a heavy kick, trying to end Li Yi’s life.

Facing this sudden attack, Li Yi was unprepared. Coughing up a mouthful of fresh blood, he was sent flying, his body traveling several meters through the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

"Wow!"

Gushing fresh blood, Li Yi’s eyes were cold and resolute, struggling to stand up like a cornered beast.

"You’re still not down?" Knife saw this and was both shocked and angry.

Was Li Yi really so tenacious that even Knife’s full-strength blow had failed to kill him?

Any other Spirit Medium Realm Cultivator would have had their ribs and spine broken by such a kick, if not killed, at least rendered unable to stand up again.

Gasping for breath, Li Yi was fixated on Knife. Despite being in terrible condition, he calmly took out a small bottle of medicine from a pocket in his clothes.

This was medicine secretly given to him by the doctor at the training base. Named Transcendent Water, it was made by extracting and processing the blood of Extraordinary Creatures.

Wang Jian had said the medicine could heal wounds in an extremely short period of time and even stimulate the body’s potential, giving a burst of tremendous strength akin to adrenaline without the side effects.

Such an important substance was always carried by Li Yi on missions.

It was just that the previous attack had been too sudden. Facing the siege by two cultivators in the inspiration realm, he had no chance to use this vial of medicine. Now that Yang Ye was down, facing only Knife, the pressure was much less, and he also had time to drink the potion.

"Gurgle!"

Without hesitation, Li Yi opened the container and downed it all.

From taking out to drinking the medicine, the series of actions were fluid, happening too fast for Knife to stop. He glanced at the empty bottle tossed aside by Li Yi, his expression subtly changing.

"What is that?" Knife couldn’t see any label on the bottle, but instinctively felt a sense of caution.

"Glucose water, for replenishing strength. What, do you want some too?" Li Yi said coolly.

Knife’s face turned dark.

Right after Li Yi drank the Transcendent Water, he immediately felt the pain in his body rapidly diminish, and a surge of strength began to emerge from the weakness. His condition seemed to be reversing quickly, but this reversal was still too slow for him; it would take at least a minute or two to fully take effect.

But the wandering vagrants around him wouldn’t give Li Yi a minute or two to rest.

"Attack together, kill him."

In an instant, no fewer than five Spirit Medium Realm vagrants seized the short gap while Li Yi was drinking and speaking and charged at him.

Yet Li Yi stood still, not moving. Even without using his eyes, his body’s senses had already informed him exactly where his enemies were and how they were planning their attack.

"Die!"

Li Yi roared. At this moment, under the pressure of life and death, his Combat Skills seemed to have completely integrated into his instincts—fist, foot, knee, shoulder, elbow... Five different parts of his body simultaneously exerted force, unleashing different Combat Techniques: Charging Punch, kicking, Top Knee, Iron Mountain Lean, Top Heart Elbow.

Although the five Combat Techniques scattered the strength of his entire body, they were enough to deal with Spirit Medium Realm enemies.

Bang!

What should have been five crisp sounds of impact merged into one at that moment.

Instantly.

Piteous screams echoed around.

The five Spirit Medium Realm vagrants attempting to corner Li Yi were sent flying in an instant. In that moment, they suffered terrible injuries; either their arms exploded, chests caved in, or heads shattered, with blood and splintered bones spraying up to create a mist of blood around Li Yi.

The air was thick with the stench of blood.

"Opportunity."

However, just as Li Yi repelled those five, Knife seized another flaw, silent and fierce, charging from Li Yi’s blind spot, a wickedly sharp, black dagger now in his hand.

This was Knife’s personal weapon, only drawn in critical moments to surprise and finish off an opponent.

That’s why he was nicknamed Knife.

The sharp dagger thrust forward at an incredible speed, aiming straight for the back of Li Yi’s head.

Once struck, death was certain, even if Li Yi had drunk the Extraordinary Water, he could not have survived.

However, at that very moment,

It was as though Li Yi had grown eyes at the back of his head, spotting the vicious attack of the dagger just in the nick of time, and in a flash, he tilted his head to the side.

The dagger grazed past Li Yi’s cheek, tearing open a bloody gash.

"What?" The attacker’s face turned pale with shock at that moment.

In such a situation, Li Yi could still sense danger?

What a joke.

You’re just at the Spirit Medium Realm, how could you possibly do this? Could it be that he really had some sort of unfair advantage?

No, that’s not right.

Soon, another thought popped into the attacker’s mind.

Li Yi must have already entered the inspiration realm...

But as soon as this thought appeared, the attacker felt a burst of intense pain in his arm.

A bloodied hand firmly grasped the attacker’s wrist with such strength that even he, who was in the inspiration realm, struggled to break free for a moment.

Before the attacker could make his next move, Li Yi had already turned around and approached.

At this moment, Li Yi’s eyes shone fiercely, his face covered in fresh blood, his murderous intent boiling within the cold light, fearsome to behold, and even more chilling for the attacker was that Li Yi’s other blood-stained fist had already been raised high.

The fist that didn’t seem very large at that moment occupied the attacker’s entire field of vision, as if it even obscured the sky.

"Stop!" The attacker screamed in terror, struggling with all his might, trying to escape.

However, the only response to him was a heavy punch descending.

"Bang!"

The power of the Fist was like a muffled thunder exploding.

The attacker almost instantly raised his other arm to defend, but after taking just one punch, that arm was completely shattered and drooped down weakly, unable to be raised again.

The rush of adrenaline from the Extraordinary Water triggered an explosive release of Li Yi’s potential, and his power at this moment was terrifying, surpassing even that of the attacker in the inspiration realm.

"Die,"

Li Yi roared in a frenzy, utterly ignoring the injuries to his own hands, for the adrenaline rush had rendered him unable to feel any pain.

Another punch smashed down.

The attacker, having lost one arm, couldn’t defend himself, and the punch landed squarely on his face.

"No!" The attacker screamed in despair, trying to stop it all from happening.

But cries cannot change the cruel reality; the power of the Fist exploded again, the punch landing solidly on the attacker’s face.

In an instant.

The face caved in, teeth scattered, and the attacker’s eyes burst open, turning to bloody tears that splashed all over Li Yi’s face.

With that punch, the attacker’s body convulsed, his breath quickly fading away.

Li Yi, with red in his eyes and undiminished killing intent, raised his arm once more; the third punch fell.

This punch went straight through the attacker’s skull, the power blasting his head apart.

Red and white scattered everywhere; the intense smell of blood and such a brutal scene frightened the few remaining Spirit Medium Realm cultivators nearby.

After the third punch, the attacker was completely motionless.

A cultivator of the inspiration realm was just like that, killed outright by Li Yi.

"Run!"

After a brief moment of astonishment, the remaining wanderers were thoroughly terrified. They no longer thought of anything but how to escape, to get as far away from Li Yi as possible.

However, Li Yi’s gaze lifted, instantly locking onto these few cultivators.

Thinking of escaping now?

That wasn’t the case when they were ganging up on him.

Li Yi’s ruthless nature did not subside, as the sight of Wang Jian and Chen Hao lying on the ground constantly stoked his nerves.

His two companions were gone just like that, and now they wanted to run after being unable to defeat him? There was no such easy way out in this world.

With the effects of the Extraordinary Water still active, Li Yi pushed his nearly shattered body to go on the offensive, resolved to kill all these remaining villains.
