Chapter 80
(Unedited)
…
The swift sword cuts through the air as the middle-aged figure and a young man stood with their backs facing each other.
Yu Iljao walks sideways while slowly twirling the sword in his hand. His eyes did not leave the figure of his opponent. He was a bit shocked upon seeing the ability of the young man to dodge his attack. He could just curse upon thinking that his opponent is truly not a simple being.
Super-powered people are really something else.
The two circles while facing each other, then Yu Iljao consecutively attacked Xin Wei while he dodges each blow.
If one can observe Xin Wei's action, one could tell that he is currently observing the stance, the move, and the attacks of his opponent. Each move of Yu Iljao did not escape his observing eyes.
Those who are watching this battle were amazed at the same time got the feeling of horror in their hearts. Even the Hunters feel that they could not dodge that easily if they were the ones to be attacked by the middle-aged man.
But it seems that this young man is toying with his opponent.
After a few moves, the middle-aged man is already out of breath and panting heavily while the young man is still relaxed.
"Your sword technique is really good, thank you... for teaching me." The young man suddenly said as he suddenly lifted one of his blades.
Yu Iljao was immediately alarmed and also lifted his katana sword.
On the roof of a building not too far from this area, a few snipers are already positioned.
Ting! Swick!
The sound of metal hitting against metal and something being sliced off was heard by those with sharp hearing.
Then they saw the figure of the young man standing behind the middle-aged Yu Iljao and on his hand is the black katana that Yu Iljao was holding.
It is already neatly inside its scabbard.
When the people saw this, they were all stunned.
But before they knew it, they saw the young man jumping from the railings of the skyway.
"Damn it! Shoot! Shoot!" shouted the detective who is already pointing his gun and squeezing the trigger.
Bang!
Baratatat!
Bang! Bang!
The sound of gunfire echoed through the air as the police and the Hunters shot the figure of the young man who has already jumped from the railings.
A few bullets came his way while jumping and Xin Wei deflected some of them that would surely hit his vital parts. Meanwhile, as he was falling he also grabs his rifle and aims at some of the Hunters that peeks at the edge and tried to shoot at him.
Bratatat!
His rifle spews out its fiery tongue and those that are unlucky were shot directly on their forehead.
The rest who saw this dare not take a peak for fear of getting hit.
Bam!
They heard the loud sound of something landing on a metal object.
Then they saw a large ten-wheeler truck passing by and on top of it is the figure they are trying to shoot.
Bang! Bang!
The snipers tried to shot the figure but he easily dodges their bullets as if he could see where they are aiming at.
"Damn it! We should get that guy!" shouted detective Fa Longlin.
The police officer beside him did not say anything and just gave a slight sneer on his face. He then looks at the stunned man in the middle of the road.
"Get the paramedics!" he shouted.
This is because he could see that there is a long gash on the man's belly and back. That attack was too fast that it made him feel a slight shiver on his spine. He did not expect that such a monster would appear in the inner city.
They knew that if this person could not be stopped and the syndicates stepped in, then the whole city would be turned into a war zone.
Upon thinking to this point, the officer could not help but really fear anxious and afraid. Though they have been working under the syndicates, yet they never wanted to involve many innocent civilians in this battle.
While thinking to this point, he received a call from his intercom.
"Captain, we spotted the target…"
"Attack! Kill on sight!" he said without hesitation.
For him, it is better for the few to be sacrificed than for the many to suffer.
As he commanded this, he once again looks at the middle-aged man who is now being helped by the paramedics as he hops on his police car.
While inside his car, he could not help but feel a bit of admiration for the young man. He actually did not kill the middle-aged guy who challenged him. But he saw that this guy would kill without mercy or remorse. So he feels a bit confused.
"Does he only kills those who really block his path and wanted to kill him? Or there are things that made him not want to kill others?" he thought in confusion.
Meanwhile, a number of police cars are already chasing after the figure of Xin Wei.
They did not hesitate to shoot him, but they are unable to aim properly because of the speed of his movement.
Suddenly, as Xin Wei jumps to another car, he saw the expression of the young woman driving the car. He also noticed a Hunter suddenly appearing not too far from him.
This Hunter seems to be good with his speed.
"Hehe… Got ya!" the Hunter said with an evil grin on his face.
As they pass by each other, a person's head came flying in the air while a headless body fell to the ground and was crushed under the wheels of the oncoming bus.
Shin Jiao did not stop. He just gave a salute to the young woman who is now showing a stunned expression on her face.
Although she is afraid, she dare not step on the brake for fear of causing more accidents on the road. One could tell that this woman is a bit alert. But the other vehicle behind her was not that calm as they quickly step on their brake and this caused the other cars behind them came into collision.
One accident after another happened as more people came running down the highway. They are all chasing after Xin Wei with a speed of more than 80 to 100 kilometers per hour.
"Shoot! That guy!" shouted the one on the lead as he aimed his handgun at the figure ahead of him.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Swish!!! Swoosh!!!
Bullets, throwing knives, and some types of hidden weapons came flying in Xin Wei's direction.
But these attacks are futile, as Xin Wei easily dodges them which throwing the people chasing after him a sneer on his handsome face.
His taunting reaction made the people turned angry as they continuously attacked him. But no matter how hard they try to attack him, they still could not hit his figure.
…
I could easily see their attacks and it was not hard for me to dodge them. But I must lead these people in a place where I could free myself from their prying eyes.
From the corner of my eyes, I saw an underground passage about 2 kilometers away from my position.
To get there, I must get off from this highway. And so I jumped to the side.
As soon as I was in the air, I suddenly feel a dangerous premonition. This is the first time that I have felt such a premonition ever since coming to this city.
I twisted my body to dodge, but I discovered that the bullet flying towards me is not just any simple bullet. It was really fast, I did not have a choice, but to block it.
Ting! Crack!
The hilt of my rifle was hit and I could feel the strong force throwing my body to the side.
Bam!
I fell to the ground and hit a parked car.
Though I did not feel any pain, I could tell that I just receive huge damage. This is because my constitution actually fell from 3/20% to 1/80%.
I knew that my constitution is on a dangerous level. So I need to use my Qi as a shield. I did not have any choice if I wanted to escape this predicament.
From the corner of my eyes, I saw riding a helicopter a familiar face.
How could I forget that face that always picks on me in class? He would always be there whenever I am in trouble and he would add to the problem instead of giving a solution. He is our most respected class monitor, Ye Benlai.
The only son of an official in the city, he is good at sports and martial arts. And he seems to have a grudge against me because of Lin Qiao. He likes Lin Qiao and wanted to pursue her, but she would not give him a face whenever he asks her out.
And worse, when Long Tao set his eyes on Lin Qiao, Ye Benlai turned his resentment towards me.
And now, he is looking down at me while sitting on a helicopter with a weird gun in his hand.
When our eyes met, I knew that he would be my next target.

…
I did not want to stay in this place. Plus it is impossible for me to chase after the flying helicopter, so I decided to escape.
Though I wanted to kill that person so badly, I know that it is not yet time. He would be my next target after I visited a particular place where I can learn more about fighting.
In my fight against Yu Mantao's father, I realized that without my speed, I would have already lost against that man. Though I am strong, fast, and almost invulnerable, I still need to learn to indebt fighting techniques and master the arts of the things that I have learned. This way I can optimize my abilities and strength to their full potential. I now fully realized that what I have learned are superficial parts of the martial arts that I have read.
To be able to fight better, I need more experience. I need to suppress my strength and learn from a martial clan. Upon thinking to this point, I already have an idea of what to do next. And who would be my real next target?
As I look back and saw the many flashing lights and sound of sirens, I just could not help but sneer and quickly ran to the flowing water. Without hesitation, I quickly jump to the river.
I did not know what happened next as I struggled against the strong water current of the river. It did not take me long enough to be able to adapt to the flow of the water.
I began to struggle as I use my hands and feet trying to swim along with the river current. I have brushed up on swimming, but putting it into actual practice is not as easy as it looks. And so I struggled, though I already adapted myself to the river flow, I'm still getting tossed around by the rapid river.
Soon, I discovered that I am already in the middle of the large river flowing through the city.
But my arms and legs have already gotten the hang of it and I can now swim freely like a fish.
Suddenly, my senses had detected something dangerous coming towards me.
I did not hesitate to grab a pair of knives from my vest and floated in the dark water.
Then the current was disturbed as I feel a huge creature rushing in my direction.
Without hesitation, I swing the blade while I dodge to the side.
I could feel my blade cutting through a tough scale of a beast and when it got closer, though it is dark, I saw a huge creature that looks like a giant fish.
The fish is as big as a great white shark and can swim really fast.
But it was unlucky to face me.
Its blood immediately began to flow out of its huge body.
I know that this is the most dangerous time to stay in this place. Since I already hit my target, I quickly swam to the riverside.
Without hesitation, I quickly jump out from the river and into a cemented breakwater. On the side, I saw bushes so I quickly duck amongst the thick foliage.
From where I am hiding, I could see the river began churning as if something is going to come out from its depths.
I could see many people not too far from me, and most of them seem to be recording this phenomenon. I'm just glad that I swam out of that place. From what I could tell, the giant fish that I just wounded are being eaten by other fishes, and those other fishes are being by other predators in the water.
It was really crazy and I could even smell the thick smell of fishy blood in the air.
I need to dry myself in pronto, so I concentrated and willed my Qi to envelop my body. Mists began to come out of my body as my clothes began to dry.
After looking around, I noticed that the place I am hiding is a part of the park but it is secluded and filled with shrubberies and tall grasses. This place has not been touched for a long time making the grasses grow tall.
After the water in my body evaporated, I checked my rifle on my side and also checked my ammunition.
"I don't need to bring this rifle and my guns to where I need to go… I must hide them somewhere…" I thought.
Most of my guns are hidden in some parts of the city.
"Damn I almost forgot…" I thought as I suddenly remember something.
I shook my head and quickly toss the rifle in my hand to the side. Then I reverse my vest to hide the knives, at the same time remove my leg holster. The handgun I inserted on the holster on the vest.
Since my weapons are already hidden, I walk out of the grassy area and walk towards the side street where many people are walking.
Soon I arrive in an alley and using the darkness as my cover, I quickly climb the building and jump from one roof to another until I arrive back at the location where I hid her.
That's right… I actually did not kill Yu Mantao.
I did not know why, whether it is because of pity or because of something else, but I found it hard for me to take her life at that time.
Well, maybe it is because of what she said to me.
While she was trying to hold on to her consciousness, I heard her muttering those words over and over which almost struck me dumb.
"Sorry… Please forgive me... Sorry, please forgive me… before I die."
She repeated those words over and over. Even after I save her from the wrecked car, she was still mumbling those words.
I threw an incendiary hand grenade in that car to cover her escape. I did not know why reacted as such, but I guess, upon hearing her words, it seems to wake the humanity within me. However, if she is just playing this trick to survive, then that would be her biggest mistake.
It did not take me long before I soon reached the rooftop where I left her.
As soon as I landed on the roof, I saw Yu Mantao lying on the ground.
She is still unconscious.
I immediately checked her vitals and it seems that she is still stable. Luckily for her, she only suffered from minor to simple fractures. Along with the concussion in her head and many bruises in her body, I can say that she was lucky to still be alive at that time.
The rooftop of this building seems to be neglected for a long time judging from the dust and the gathered rubbish on it. I created a temporary shelter and using my Qi, I dispel all the dust in the area. I then carried Yu Mantao inside.
I began aligning her bones and then using acupuncture, I healed her wounds.
I did not know why she fought back at that time and set the trap for me, but after she regained her consciousness is the only time that I can get my answers.
After healing her wounds, I went out to get my things.
Upon my return, I noticed that the police are still roaming the area. I could even see helicopters and drones flying in the air.
Upon seeing those, I just shook my head and did not mind them. This is because everyone is searching on the far side of the side where the river is.
They did not know that the one they are looking for has returned near where the commotion started.
As I stayed on the rooftop and checked on Yu Mantao, I began to concentrate and absorb the Qi in the air. Though it is a bit murky because of the pollution in the city, it is already good enough as long as I slowly filter them.
It was already morning and the sun has risen above when I stopped my practice.
When I open my eyes and turn around, I saw Yu Mantao looking at me.
It seems that she is also awake.
She did not say anything and just looks at me. I could feel the guilt in her eyes and the wariness. I could not blame her; she saw what I did to Lin Ting and her people.
"How do you feel?" I asked.
She bit her lips but said nothing.
"I said, how do you feel?" I asked, this time with a stern voice.
I noticed her trembling when she heard my voice.
"I… I can't move…" she said while biting her lips.
I then realized and remembered that I have blocked her meridians so she is unable to move her body.
"You have suffered fractures in your bones and bruises in your body. It is better for you not to move too much, or else, your bones will break thoroughly and you will feel more pain. Do you understand?" I explained.
She nodded her head but I could feel that she is still wary of me.
I draw closer to her which made her widen her eyes in fear.
Then using my finger, I hit some of her acupoints and unblocked her movement.
Upon recovering her movement, she suddenly backs away but she seems to remember what I said about her wounds and stopped, but it was too late.
Her face suddenly grimaced upon feeling the sharp pain because of her sudden movement.
