Chapter 239: Chapter 176: Confrontation at the Door_2

Ning Wu’s anger surfaced at this moment, her breathing heavy, much like a wild beast growling lowly. Then suddenly she vanished from where she stood, and in the blink of an eye had closed in on Li Yi’s face, after which a long leg shot out like a tightly coiled spring, aiming straight for Li Yi’s forehead.

It’s often said that enemies are especially ruthless upon meeting.

This time, Ning Wu unleashed all her strength, wishing she could kill Li Yi with a single kick.

"Ning Wu, don’t be impulsive, you’re no match for him..."

However, the color drained from the face of a man beside Ning Wu, and he quickly rushed over, his speed inconceivably fast.

But Li Yi wasn’t one to hold back. His sinews and flesh twisted into one, his body erupting with divine power and he shot out a punch.

Thunder God’s Hammer!

Fist Power exploded, air burst, as if the boom of thunder rang by one’s ear.

"Boom!"

His punch aimed at Ning Wu’s thigh. Had it connected, Ning Wu’s painstakingly healed leg would have certainly been shattered by his strike.

Yet the punch missed.

The previously visible Ning Wu had suddenly disappeared.

A man was now rapidly dragging Ning Wu backward, retreating to a distance of seven or eight meters before stopping.

Fist Power scattered, transforming into a shockwave that rolled back, nearly blinding those it reached. Even at a distance of seven or eight meters, there was a feeling of being unable to stand firm.

"The power of that punch, it’s terrifying."

The man’s pupils suddenly constricted, shocked by Li Yi’s punch, and disbelief crept onto his face.

Ning Wu, feeling the wind from the punch, went pale, breaking out in a cold sweat and feeling frightened.

If that punch had landed on her, she would have been seriously injured or even killed.

"Your strength... it hasn’t been long, and yet you’ve improved again."

Ning Wu grit her teeth, fury burning in her eyes. She believed Li Yi’s accomplishments were all due to that Mysterious Object, which was the only reason he could continue to transform and improve.

Last time she faced Li Yi she had barely won, but this time... she was completely overpowered.

"Keep going, what’s wrong? Scared?"

Li Yi’s expression was cold and indifferent, his eye shone with a sharp light, but now he wasn’t looking at Ning Wu, but at the man beside her: "Spiritual Perception Master? You certainly react fast. I hadn’t even made my move and you already sensed the danger. Otherwise, she’d have to roll around in a wheelchair from now on."

"You’re Li Yi? I’ve heard of you, a field operative from the investigation bureau, a cultivation genius with a Cultivation Value reaching four hundred and twenty percent, reaching the inspiration realm within a few months of entering the Cultivation Circle. And you’ve mastered a powerful set of Boxing Techniques. Seeing you now, I can say you’re even more dangerous than I thought. Your intent to kill is dense; I wonder how many battles you’ve been through."

The man squinted slightly, sizing up Li Yi.

Indeed, there’s no smoke without fire. This famous Li Yi, who had made a name for himself, proved to be even more formidable than expected. That punch alone was enough to inflict terror in his heart, and it was merely intended for Ning Wu, the inspiration realm cultivator.

Such an overkill approach, it’s no wonder Ning Wu was utterly defeated.

"Who are you? I don’t recall seeing you before." Li Yi frowned slightly, simultaneously unclasping the sniper rifle on his back.

"I am Yu Chuan, Ning Wu’s cousin. I’ve recently arrived in Tianchang City. It’s normal you haven’t met me. I’m aware of the grudges between you and Ning Wu, but I’m not here to cause trouble. I’m just assisting Ning Wu in completing her tasks and missions to earn a reduction in her sentence. Once it’s all done, I’ll take her away from here," the Spiritual Perception Master, Yu Chuan, stated calmly.

"Ning Wu remains a criminal for a lifetime, born evil, treating human life as if it were nothing—liable to commit murder sooner or later. Releasing her was a mistake. You, who are close to her, be careful not to be led astray and become a criminal yourself," Li Yi articulated.

"I was born evil? Li Yi, you should be more careful with your words," Ning Wu glared at him furiously.

Li Yi scoffed, "Isn’t it true? I’ve never before met anyone who greets with such an ’eye witness’ attack."

"You..."

Ning Wu’s chest heaved with indignation. If it weren’t for the fear of Li Yi’s strength, she would have already charged at him.

"Give her a chance, I’ll make sure she behaves," Yu Chuan said.

Ning Wu exclaimed, "Cousin, why are you being so polite with him? He’s not an investigator. We’re just doing our mission as usual; no one has any right to tamper with us. Moreover, he stole my stuff. As I see it, we might as well settle this once and for all today and take back what’s mine."

"Shut up," Yu Chuan shouted firmly, interrupting Ning Wu.

Because at that moment, Li Yi had already cocked his sniper rifle and pointed it directly at Ning Wu, saying icily, "Yu Chuan, right? Your speed in saving her just now was quite fast. What I wonder is whether, with this shot fired, you can still save Ning Wu in front of me."

A bead of sweat appeared on Yu Chuan’s forehead.

Though he had Spiritual Sense, his reaction time was still finite. At such a close range, if Li Yi shot the gun, Ning Wu would undoubtedly die, without even a moment to dodge.

After all, that’s a firearm designed to kill the Transcendent.

Ning Wu also kept her mouth shut this time, panic and terror flickering in her eyes as she looked at Li Yi’s sniper rifle.

Her inspiration realm senses were blaring warnings, and at that moment, she could even smell death.

If Li Yi’s punch earlier was just aimed at taking her leg, then now his intent was set on killing her.
