I Start with a Mysterious Island-Chapter 137: A Superpower Showdown of Strengths and Weaknesses
BOOM.
The razor-sharp, crescent-shaped Cyan Wind Blade struck Zhou Tianci’s chest as if it had hit an incredibly hard object and exploded on impact.
"Whoa, that gentle-looking young man is actually a Cultivator who’s awakened a Superpower too."
"Now we’ve got a real fight! That Villainous Young Master was just saying he’d break the other guy’s right hand. Look at him now, he’s the one who took a nasty Wind Blade to the chest first."
"Haha... What did I tell you? When that gentle-looking young man saw the Villainous Young Master use his Superpower, he didn’t even flinch. I just knew he had an ace up his sleeve."
The crowd of onlookers, who had been a little worried just moments before, erupted into thunderous cheers when they saw Lin Li use his Superpower.
The four servants had just been gloating, boasting that their young master would beat Lin Li until he was sobbing and begging for mercy. Now, their faces looked as foul as if they had just eaten shit.
Zhou Tianci, who had been struck by the crescent-shaped Cyan Wind Blade, had his magnificent brocade robes shredded to pieces. However, his body was unharmed. It was clear that the Superpower he had awakened possessed an impressive defensive capability.
"Well now, the defense on that Superpower of yours isn’t half bad!" Lin Li, who had just flicked his hand to launch the Cyan Wind Blade, looked surprised that his attack had only managed to destroy the other man’s clothes.
"You’ve awakened a Superpower?" Zhou Tianci, who had been certain of his victory, looked grim the moment he saw Lin Li use his ability.
"What? Are you the only one allowed to awaken a Superpower? Is no one else allowed the same?" Lin Li retorted with a smile. Then, he raised his hand and launched another crescent-shaped Cyan Wind Blade.
SWISH.
The razor-sharp, crescent-shaped Cyan Wind Blade shot toward Zhou Tianci. Having already been hit once, Zhou Tianci was prepared this time. Faced with another Superpower attack from Lin Li, he quickly dodged to the side.
BOOM.
The razor-sharp, crescent-shaped Cyan Wind Blade that Zhou Tianci had dodged slammed into the blue brick pavement, instantly shattering the hard bricks.
"That Wind Blade is so powerful! It shattered the hard bricks in one hit! We need to back up, quick! Don’t get caught in the crossfire!"
"Back up, hurry up and get back! Why are you just standing there like an idiot? Move back! Do you have a death wish?"
"Hey, you, kid! Hurry and back up! You’re all skin and bones! If that Wind Blade hits you, you’ll probably lose an arm or a leg on the spot."
The gawking bystanders shivered in fear when they saw Lin Li’s Cyan Wind Blade destroy the hard brick road.
To ensure their own safety, they began to retreat rapidly, moving far away from the intense battle unfolding between Lin Li and Zhou Tianci.
However, among the many gawking onlookers, there were still a few who were braver.
Although they were still a bit scared, worried they might get accidentally hit by one of Lin Li’s Wind Blades, their desire to watch the excitement up close kept them from retreating like the others.
...
SWISH.
SWISH.
SWISH.
Every time Lin Li swung his arm, a razor-sharp, crescent-shaped Cyan Wind Blade would appear.
Although Zhou Tianci did his utmost to dodge, the Wind Blades were simply too fast.
If he stood far away from Lin Li, he could dodge the Wind Blade attacks.
But the moment he tried to close the distance, he would no longer have time to evade the incoming blades and would be struck by the razor-sharp projectiles.
BOOM.
BOOM.
BOOM.
The moment Zhou Tianci, his skin now a deep bronze color, got within ten meters of Lin Li, he was hit by several unavoidable Wind Blades.
Seeing his opponent get hit by his Superpower, Lin Li immediately created more distance. He repeated this process, maintaining a gap and baiting his opponent, keeping him just out of reach.
This kiting tactic made Zhou Tianci feel utterly humiliated, like a mouse being toyed with by a cat.
After this exchange, he now understood that if he could just get into close-quarters combat while his Superpower was active, he would definitely have the upper hand.
Unfortunately, his opponent knew this too. He was playing to his strengths and avoiding his weaknesses, choosing to keep his distance and wear down Zhou Tianci’s Spiritual Energy and stamina with long-range attacks.
Moreover, his opponent was incredibly agile. Even if he tried to endure the Wind Blade attacks and charge forward, he still wouldn’t be able to catch him.
He couldn’t catch him, and he was just taking a beating for nothing. The current situation was extremely disadvantageous for him.
SWISH.
The ear-piercing sound of something slicing through the air rang out again.
BOOM.
Another sharp Wind Blade struck Zhou Tianci. After being hit by this razor-sharp projectile, the last shred of clothing remaining on his upper body was finally torn to pieces.
’This guy’s hide is really thick...’ Lin Li thought to himself, watching the now bare-chested Zhou Tianci.
At the same time, he was also a bit amazed that this Villainous Young Master of Dongwu City actually possessed such a respectable level of cultivation.
"Kid, if you’ve got any guts, stop running! If you’re a man, fight me head-on! What’s with all this dodging and weaving?" Seeing that he couldn’t catch Lin Li, Zhou Tianci resorted to verbal attacks, hoping to provoke him into abandoning his kiting tactics.
Unfortunately for him, Lin Li saw right through his petty trick. It had no effect whatsoever.
"Why would I abandon a tactic that gives me the advantage just to fight you up close? Is there something wrong with your brain?" Lin Li mocked.
"You..." Zhou Tianci was so enraged by Lin Li’s mockery that his chest felt tight. In his entire life, this was the first time he had ever met someone who made him seethe with such helpless frustration.
Just as Lin Li and Zhou Tianci were locked in a stalemate, the voice of one of Zhou Tianci’s servants suddenly called out from a distance.
"Young Master, this is bad! The Guards are heading this way! We have to leave, now!
If those Guards catch us, the Master will find out, and he won’t let us off easy..."
The servant, Xiaoliu, shouted as he and his companions ran anxiously toward Zhou Tianci.
Judging by the servants’ urgent expressions, they were truly wary of the approaching Guards.
Zhou Tianci, who was still facing off against Lin Li, heard his servant’s warning about the Guards, and his expression changed instantly.
Despite his earlier arrogance and his fearless act that had intimidated all the onlookers, this was a different matter.
The patrol Guards who maintained order in the city were not afraid of him, nor would they give him any face. If he needed to be arrested, they would arrest him. If he needed to be fined, they would fine him.
