Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 2157 - 2220: General Lion
This guy wants to... Li Yifei is hiding in the dark; if he goes out now, can he save that child?
Yes, but there might be danger, so Li Yifei chooses to stay put for the moment. As the child is brought over, he seems to be in a deep sleep. Li Yifei sees the woman with the flower tattoo take out a thin knife and cut a gash at the child’s foot, yet the child remains asleep. It looks like he’s been drugged; blood flows out and is quickly collected into a bowl.
Li Yifei frowns and watches as the bowl is half-filled with blood. The woman then applies some powder to seal the wound, and the bleeding stops.
She hands the bowl to General Lion, who takes it and, tilting his head back, drinks the blood.
Li Yifei’s eyelids twitch. What does this mean? The people around seem accustomed to this, with some even licking their lips with craving expressions.
What are these bastards up to? Drinking human blood? Just as Li Yifei wonders, he suddenly feels something amiss with the surroundings. These people salute and leave quickly, leaving only the flower-faced woman and General Lion in the room. After drinking human blood, General Lion, who was calmly sitting in his chair, soon has a misty layer of blood aura emanating from him. The blood aura keeps growing, almost as if it won’t disperse, while the woman directly kneels in front of General Lion.
"Come, my servant, I will grant you power." General Lion’s voice is very tempting; if you’re not careful, you might fall for it. It’s no wonder those regular people leave. At this moment, Li Yifei has already noticed something peculiar about General Lion. He possesses an evil, strange power, different from True Qi and unlike the power Satan has.
It’s hard to describe; in short, it doesn’t feel right!
The flower-faced woman tilts her head back, her face showing an intoxicated smile, her nose breathing in the blood aura, a layer of red rising on her dark face. After a couple of minutes, her body starts to tremble, and the red blood aura around General Lion’s body even transforms into a roaring lion, complete with some visible mane.
Li Yifei doesn’t rush to take action from his hidden spot. Despite General Lion’s eeriness, he likely isn’t a match for Li Yifei, who’s more curious about what exactly they’re doing.
"General, I am willing to give my life for you." After absorbing enough blood aura, the woman’s voice changes, filled with allure, but even seeing her face and body doesn’t attract Li Yifei.
With one hand on her head, General Lion says hoarsely, "Not yet, my servant, the time isn’t right; I still lack some tempering, so you can boldly absorb without worrying that I’ll be angry."
"I am sincere," the flower-faced woman immediately replies.
"I know, but now, when I let you absorb, you absorb. When I need it, I will absorb your life, granting you immortality." General Lion’s voice carries enchantment; Li YunFei can sense a mysterious power, likely practicing some malevolent technique powered by blood or some other reason. Li Yifei can’t quite understand the specifics yet.
But it doesn’t matter; with the power the opponent displays, Li Yifei can still manage.
The flower-faced woman ceases her loyalty display and moves a few steps forward, reaching to unbutton the opposite’s pants, her face full of devotion, yet with a hint of greed, quickly pressing her head onto him. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
Li Yifei rolls his eyes, curious about what this so-called absorption entails—it turns out to be really just absorption. However, aren’t you a bit too small in size? Is it even three centimeters? This guy’s disabled, he’s nowhere near the typical size of an African male, even smaller than a child.
Finding it uninteresting, Li Yifei contemplates stepping out when he sees General Lion’s body tremble; the red aura rapidly retracts into his body, and the blood-lion disappears while the flower-faced woman’s body quivers continuously, taking a full minute to calm down, mouth tightly shut, as if afraid it might spill out as she runs out while holding her mouth.
Looking back at General Lion, he sits weakened in his chair, eyes closed after the flower-faced woman runs far away. He seems to be completely drained, as though he’s gone through a battle and is suddenly exhausted.
This is strange. Once Li Yifei is sure those people have distanced themselves from the house, he steps out from his hiding place, purposely not concealing his footsteps. Li Yifei strides over to General Lion. Only when Li Yifei stops does the other hear his voice. Opening his eyes to see an Asian, General Lion isn’t surprised, looking at Li Yifei with a weird smile, saying, "You’ve finally come out."
"You sensed me?" Li Yifei asks back.
"Haha, this is my territory; why wouldn’t I sense you? I just didn’t expect you to also be an Ability User."
"Ability User?" Li Yifei repeats the words. General Lion nods: "That’s right, an Ability User. We also call it Witch, Witch Doctor, or whatever we please!"
"The name is interesting, but I’m curious about your actual skill," Li Yifei says calmly.
"Since you’ve come, you naturally can know, but I’m quite curious. I’ve encountered many ability users and various witch doctors, but I’ve never met an Oriental ability user. What brings you here?"
"Originally nothing, but your people wanted to bother me, so I came to bother you first," Li Yifei said.
Having drunk blood and released energy, General Lion now had no trace of blood energy on him and appeared quite normal.
General Lion understood, and he said, "The people from that Huaxia company?"
"No, not their people, but I have to deal with this," Li Yifei replied.
"Hahaha, then it depends on whether you have the strength," General Lion laughed, and Li Yifei was also laughing. His eyes seemed to pierce through everything, as he continued to walk a few more steps inside, saying, "Whether I have the strength or not is irrelevant. I’m very curious, do you still have the energy to stand up?"
"I remember an Oriental saying full of philosophy, ’Summer insects cannot talk of winter.’ Although there isn’t winter here, but you aren’t the winter either!" General Lion appeared weak and powerless, but Li Yifei could clearly sense his aura, or rather, his energy was rising.
Could it be that he was in a weakened state just now because of a ’sage time’? Li Yifei laughed heartily, saying, "There’s another saying, ’Not knowing the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth.’
The opponent clapped both hands on the chair and jumped up. Although his stature was thin and small, he was wrapped in a layer of red aura, with a strong scent of blood.
This General is indeed unusual, but Li Yifei thought of another matter: if during his past missions he had encountered witches like this instead of ordinary people, could he have survived those missions?
This brief moment of distraction gave the opponent an opportunity. General Lion’s attack arrived instantly, but this first probing attack was a mental assault, especially timed well during Li Yifei’s distraction, which coincided with his moment of mental weakness.
General Lion resorted to a sneak attack because he knew of Li Yifei’s strength, his calculation was correct, but unfortunately, he faced Li Yifei. His mental attack to Li Yifei was akin to a mosquito bite, not only painless and itchless, but also completely ineffective. Li Yifei didn’t even care; he merely raised an eyebrow, prompting the opponent to let out a muffled groan, his expression slightly changed.
"You also know such attack methods?" General Lion said, his face astonished.
Li Yifei shook his head and said calmly, "It’s not a question of knowing; it’s that you’re too weak."
"Haha, how could I be weak?" General Lion laughed, and an attack emerged instantly. This time it wasn’t just a mental assault; he pounced over like a lion.
Thud, Li Yifei punched, General Lion grinned as he grabbed at Li Yifei, while Li Yifei remained steady and responded with ease. Neither side had presented their full strength, both were probing, but in these exchanges, Li Yifei clearly held the upper hand.
How could he be so strong? General Lion backed up a few steps, his face dark and obscured, it was hard to read any expression on his ugly black face, but his drifting gaze revealed much. He was losing confidence.
Outsiders said General Lion cherished his life, and many had tried to assassinate him, so his room was usually surrounded by dozens of patrollers. This was true, but the strongest was himself; even if attackers reached here, they were killed by him. This was why he didn’t immediately pull out Li Yifei upon sensing his presence, because he was confident in taking him down.
But now it seems he can’t handle it, because the opponent is too strong, far exceeding his expectations.
No time to think, General Lion let out a roar like a lion.
"Still want to call people?" Li Yifei didn’t know that to intimidate his subordinates, General Lion frequently roared like a lion, so when they heard this roar, they probably wouldn’t come in. But Li Yifei didn’t know this, so he immediately rushed over.
General Lion only saw a blur before him, a figure charged right at him. He wanted to raise his arms to block, but felt a pain in his chest. He quickly tightened his abdomen, but it was already too late, because Li Yifei’s second move was right in front of him.
"Thud!" A dull sound, General Lion flew backward, crashing onto the chair he had been sitting on earlier. With a crunch, the chair shattered, and General Lion let out a painful groan. But Li Yifei didn’t stop; he strode over, about to reach out and grab General Lion, when suddenly the latter thrust his legs out, and Li Yifei saw two blood-condensed blades, materializing, and he quickly retreated two steps, sidestepping to avoid them. The blood blades grazed past his chest, catching sight of General Lion, whose eyes were blood-red, both hands holding those blood blades, directly drawn from his body.
