Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 2012 - 2075: Critical Danger
Even with Li Yifei’s forceful struggles, the black energy still wouldn’t let go of him.
In fact, during his struggle, the black energy continued to spread from his hand to his entire arm, and even his shoulder.
This black energy was too peculiar. Li Yifei even felt that if the black energy spread throughout his body, his life would be in danger. After all, although his arm was wrapped in black energy, he could temporarily protect his body with True Qi, but what if the True Qi ran out!
What to do? Li Yifei must quickly come up with a solution!
After a minute of this deadlock, most of Li Yifei’s body was already enveloped by the black energy, sticking to him like maggots on bones, the black energy even blocking his communication with the world, making it exceedingly nauseating. At this rate, in just one or two more minutes, the black energy would cover him completely, severing his connection with the world.
No, it can’t be like this! Li Yifei never thought he would make a mistake and be shadowed here by an anonymous maid, what a joke that would be.
The maid looked at Li Yifei, filled with pride, no matter how powerful you are, you still have to die by my hand.
Indeed, at this moment, the maid had murderous intent. For someone who could cause her to initiate a second sacrifice, it hadn’t happened in so many years. This kind of sacrifice was extremely peculiar within the Holy War Organization. It’s called peculiar because the power obtained from the sacrifice is incredibly strong. The black energy is full of life, and if someone is entangled in it, it won’t take long, just half an hour, and they could turn into a puddle of blood, even the bones could be dissolved.
Therefore, Li Yifei was in danger. The organization required not to kill Li Yifei, but the maid had a killing intention. She thought if she killed Li Yifei, the Saintess would never advance in this life, and wouldn’t that make her very happy?
Saintess, you and I have been competing for so many years, now your lover’s life is in my hands, hahaha! The maid thought of this and wanted to laugh up to the sky. If she could kill Li Yifei, why wouldn’t she do it, since there’s no one to stop her here.
The Holy War Organization theoretically couldn’t send anyone else here, everyone else is far away. Even if they received the news and rushed over, they would still be halfway here.
Halfway here, by the time they arrived, she would have killed Li Yifei.
The black energy seemed alive; once it saw blood, it would become more frenzied. By then, without her control, the black energy would actively suck the blood from Li Yifei’s body and invade his body...
At the same time, in the Saintess’s bedroom a thousand miles away, a real maid suddenly rushed in, her face a bit panicked, she whispered, "Saintess, something bad has happened."
"What is it?" The Saintess was actually anxious inside, but when her subordinate shouted, she instead calmed down. She glanced at the maid and slowly asked, "Don’t panic, calm down and speak."
"Yes, yes!" The young maid took a few deep breaths, then reported: "Our people sent word that the Elders seem to have sent the Dark Maiden...oh, the Dark Maid over."
"Sent where? To intercept Li Yifei?" The Saintess’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this. She certainly knew who the Dark Maiden was. The Saintess was pondering why the organization would send her.
"Yes, the Dark Maiden is probably already on Li Yifei’s side..." The young maid said cautiously; she had already seen the Saintess getting angry.
The Saintess immediately stood up, paced a few steps on the ground, suddenly turned around, and looked at the young maid and asked, "Did our people find out specifically where she is?"
"No, our people reported back as soon as they heard the news. I came to inform you as soon as I received it." The young maid replied.
"Phew!" The Saintess was silent for a moment, clenched her fists. Her mind was astute, she didn’t need much explanation to guess what the Dark Maiden might do.
She wasn’t too worried about Li Yifei at this moment because the Dark Maiden’s skills were about the same as hers. It was unlikely to cause Li Yifei too much trouble, but the Saintess wasn’t clear about the current situation, which inevitably made her anxious.
Child, please stay safe! The Saintess prayed in her heart. She initially thought it would be a not too difficult rescue, but the organization somehow knew in advance, made precautions, leaving the Saintess unable to help Li Yifei.
"No, she has that bizarre black energy. I have to remind Li Yifei, he must not be careless!" The Saintess was originally reassured yet suddenly stood up, intertwined her hands, murmuring to herself, "But I can’t contact him now..."
The black gas isn’t too troublesome, it’s quite easy to deal with if you know the method, but the premise is to be vigilant. Once you’re caught off guard, you might easily stumble...
What the Saintess doesn’t know is that Li Yifei has already been schemed against, and to kill him, the dark maiden even made a second sacrifice. So even if Li Yifei is killed this time, the opponent won’t fare well, and might need a year or two to recover. But does the dark maiden care? Being able to suppress the Saintess for a lifetime is worth as long a recovery.
The Saintess isn’t unwilling to contact Li Yifei, she’s just restricted now, without a good way to communicate. Her little maid managed to sneak out to make a call, but no one answered.
No, I must go! The Saintess suddenly stood up, heading towards the door, naturally blocked by a few Holy War Warriors with much lower cultivation, claiming to be monitoring her, but in truth, these people dared not actually do anything to the Saintess. Seeing her coming out, they quickly said, "Saintess, the elders have ordered you to stay in the room..."
"I know, but I have to meet the elders. Are you going to stop me?" the Saintess said coldly with a stern face.
"Well..." The Holy War Warriors exchanged glances, one nodded and said, "Then please go, Saintess, but we have no intention to stop you, it’s really the elders’ orders..."
"I know, otherwise, you’d be corpses now." The Saintess tossed a remark and headed to the Elder’s Court, with her little maid hurriedly following.
At the Elder’s Court, the Saintess expressed her worry, and the Great Elder’s eyes twitched as he too became somewhat agitated; the dark maiden went there, hopefully she wouldn’t kill Li Yifei... The Great Elder immediately tried to contact the dark maiden, but frustratingly the call didn’t go through. He paced around before hurriedly contacting the four Holy War Warriors, the golden curly hair answered the call, he softly reported the situation here, by then Li Yifei was about to be wrapped in black gas, once enveloped, the danger to Li Yifei increased significantly.
"Quick, stop her, that damned woman!" The Great Elder said with a twitch of his eye and shouted into the phone, the Saintess beside heard, immediately understood, and urgently shouted into the phone, "I am the Saintess, I order you to stop the dark maiden at once!"
"Saintess, Great Elder, I... I might not be able to stop them, when those two fight, it’s difficult for us even to stand..." the golden curly hair said distressingly.
"This is an order! Holy War Warriors, charge with no regard for life!" The Great Elder took a deep breath and commanded.
"Yes!" The golden curly hair replied immediately, hung up the phone, and communicated the intentions of the Great Elder and Saintess with his companions. They gathered their courage and walked towards the center of the storm, as soon as they approached, the dark maiden noticed them, turned and coldly glanced at them, said, "Scram!"
"Maid, the Great Elder has just sent an order, instructing you to stop immediately, not to harm... harm the Golden Eagle, otherwise, otherwise you will be dealt with by organizational punishment." The golden curly hair shouted to the dark maiden.
Organizational punishment? Hahaha, at this point, the dark maiden was about to succeed, she was almost mad, not caring about any damn Great Elder or Saintess now, she just wanted to kill Li Yifei. Wrapped in black gas, Li Yifei struggled no more, the dark maiden knew he wasn’t dead yet but was not far from death, how could she give up now?
Doing harm without benefit describes the dark maiden just so, but she was extremely excited now because she could prevent the Saintess’s major promotion.
"We..." The golden curly hair gestured to his companions. They had determined the dark maiden had gone mad. Of course, they had initially planned to kill Li Yifei, but after Li Yifei made his move, showing a tremendous gap, they abandoned the idea, it was too unrealistic.
Slowly encircling, they planned to act according to the Great Elder and Saintess’s orders, though, unfortunately, as soon as they stepped into a certain range, they fell one by one, no exception, within the definite scope of Li Yifei and the dark maiden’s confrontation, astral winds whipped and chilly winds howled, not approachable by ordinary people, even with four somewhat skilled individuals, rash contact would result in severe penalties.
Within the Holy War Organization, the Saintess looked at the Great Elder with a surge of inexplicable sorrow and anger, her eyes reddening as she gazed at him and said: "Great Elder, I want to go to Portland!"
"You..." The Great Elder’s mouth moved, guilt felt, but if Li Yifei were killed, his schemes would all be in vain, Li Yifei could not die now, he regretted sending the dark maiden there, knowing she was uncontrolled by the organization, prone to madness... She even in Africa, during missions, infamously slaughtered a village over teasing by a man...
"Prepare a plane for me!" the Saintess said.
"Alright, you go ahead!" The Great Elder conceded, things had spiraled out of control, just hoping the Saintess would arrive with the Golden Eagle still alive.
The Saintess turned silently to leave, her pace quickening, thoughts racing: "Li Yifei, you absolutely must not meet misfortune, wait for me, wait for me!"
Minutes later, the Saintess boarded a plane, flying towards Portland, hoping desperately to make it in time.
