Super Soldier in the City

"Okay!" Li Yifei thought for a moment and agreed.

Babua gritted his teeth, holding his breath, trying to keep up with Li Yifei’s pace. Only now did he realize why this young man from Huaxia was able to shake the world at such a young age. There was a very good reason for it. Just his personal qualities alone far surpassed any young person Babua had seen, even when he was young himself.

It’s a pity this is a Huaxia person. If he could serve the Holy War Organization, in a few years, he would be a powerful elder. At this moment, Babua suddenly felt that if he had known he was so strong, he would have destroyed him when Li Yifei was not yet formidable. Why wait until now when he is already strong enough and even unshakable, making it impossible to destroy him now.

Perhaps this thought is not unique to him, and others might think the same in the future. Unfortunately, those are matters for the future. Right now, he can only follow Li Yifei to catch the person behind the conspiracy and clear his name so that he can restore his position as an elder and regain his glory. Not to mention anything else, just his assets alone are worth thousands of billions of US Dollars. Moreover, if he falls, so will his descendants. If he can keep his position...

Most importantly, he also hates the person behind the scenes, hates that they’ve trapped him and want to kill him. As an old monster who has been fighting for years, Babua is not to be messed with. He also wants to find that person and strangle them.

The two of them passed through two checkpoints and avoided some Temple Patrol members before finally reaching the sleeping chamber of the Holy Woman, a chamber full of classical charm, seemingly like a castle.

There were guards outside the castle. Li Yifei looked back at Babua, who frowned. There were more than a dozen Temple members guarding outside, and the two of them could not pass through normally. Judging by the looks of those people, it seemed they didn’t allow anyone to enter. Li Yifei listened closely, and no sound could be heard from inside the castle. Calculating the time, Li Yifei and Babua had spent about five minutes getting here. If it were Elder Andisto, there should be continuous fighting inside the castle now... or the Holy Woman could have been directly controlled by Elder Andisto or even killed...

Of course, it’s also possible everything inside was quiet and Li Yifei was overthinking. But no matter which scenario it was, Li Yifei wanted to go in and take a look to be at ease. So he turned to Babua and said telepathically, "Do you have any way to get in?"

"No real way, but...we can go around to the back of the castle. If there are guards there, unless you can fly or turn into a very small bat to get in," Babua shook his head and said.

Without a word, Li Yifei circled to the back and found that there were also guards there, but only two. Li Yifei signaled to Babua and was just about to charge when Babua grabbed him and whispered, "Golden Eagle, these two are not easy to deal with. They’re the highest-ranking guardians of the Temple, highly skilled!"

"Oh!" Li Yifei nodded and was still about to charge, causing Babua to be thankful he hadn’t released his grip. Babua urgently whispered, "These are Andisto’s guards. Don’t be impulsive. Not to mention these two, those in the front are also very strong. I’m not saying you can’t win, but it’s just too difficult to solve them quietly. I... I am completely injured now and can’t help you much. Moreover, I clearly feel my body is getting weaker!"

"How will you know if you don’t try?" Li Yifei said and his body leapt out. This time, he really leapt. Babua didn’t have time to hold him back, only to see Li Yifei spread his arms, and a series of whistling sounds filled the air. This time, it wasn’t darts. Well, in fact, what he gave Babua earlier wasn’t darts either, just iron pieces. But this time, Li Yifei had randomly grabbed a few steel nails from the iron fence they passed by and threw them.

The impact was astonishing. A few steel nails suddenly shot out, but those two Temple Guards didn’t seem overly alarmed. As they saw Li Yifei pouncing over, one of them flung his robe, shook it a few times, and caught the steel nails Li Yifei shot out. With another shake of the robe, those nails fell to the ground.

The steel nails were just trivial matters; Li Yifei didn’t expect them to cause harm. He chuckled lightly and instantly engaged in a fierce fight with the two. In the distance, Babua only saw shadows flashing. With his eyesight, he even saw afterimages in what seemed like a matter of breaths. Li Yifei stopped, stood there, and with a shake of his arms, the two Temple Guards’ bodies stiffened, unable to make another move. After a few seconds of pause, they fell to the ground without making a sound.

"Hiss..." Babua took a sharp breath. The Holy War Organization is very strong, with numbers even reaching hundreds of thousands, which is still few compared to the population of over a hundred million in the United States. However, among those hundreds of thousands, the percentage of elites is quite high. Many are in high positions and can command more people to serve the organization. Combined with the fact that the Holy War Organization is very rich, extremely rich, exceptionally rich, that’s why they’re so powerful. But in terms of strength... Babua always thought his strength was decent, even considered a strongman, but compared to Li Yifei, he seemed somewhat lacking.

Babua believed he couldn’t silently take down these two of Andisto’s subordinates. They were stronger than the ones in the front and were high-ranking guardians in the Temple, the strongest presence outside the elders and a few special warriors. Yet they were taken down head-on by Li Yifei in mere seconds.

Babua crawled out from his hiding spot, wavering as he walked over and asked, "Are they dead?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"If they want to die, I can add a slash!" Li Yifei looked up at the castle and saw an open window about seven or eight meters high, telepathically asking, "What’s this place?"

"Here... it should be the staircase junction between the second and third floors, yes, it should be here!"

"Alright!" Li Yifei glanced at Babua and said, "I’ll go up first. You stand guard outside. If there’s an enemy, imitate the call of an owl."

"How does an owl sound?"

"Elder Babua, if you don’t make any effort, I won’t be able to forgive you!" said Li Yifei,

Babua quickly responded, "Barking like a dog, that I can do!"

"Heh!" Li Yifei replied with a cold laugh. He then stepped back two paces, gathered his strength, and with a burst of energy, placed a foot against the castle wall. After a few consecutive steps, Li Yifei’s hand was already on the window, flipping inside with a few moves, his figure vanished. Babua looked up, feeling unpleasant both in heart and words. There was a time when he considered himself highly superior, but in these past few days, he had been continuously schemed against, and now insulted by Li Yifei in succession. Yet, he couldn’t flare up; he saw two people lying on the ground, sighed, and laboriously dragged them to hide them in his previous hiding spot.

Li Yifei flipped over the wall, and indeed saw the spiral staircase. He lightly landed, listened for a moment, and heard the voice of the Saintess coming from downstairs. Hearing her voice, Li Yifei felt slightly relieved, and also heard that the Saintess was conversing with Elder Andisto, and it was already the time to see the latter off.

As long as everything’s okay, thought Li Yifei as he sat on the stairs, panting. Even though he was an expert, carrying an old man over such a long distance was tough on anyone. Thinking of this, Li Yifei couldn’t help but break into a silent grin and shook his head.

A minute or two later, the Saintess closed the door and returned. Looking at the vast hall, she sighed slightly. Her arm was still wrapped in bandages, and her clothes were stained with blood, clearly indicating the previous assassination attempt brought extreme danger. Had she been a second slower in her reaction, that knife would not have just cut her arm, but her body instead.

Thinking about the Saintess’s perfect body being ruined by a knife, destroying the overall beauty, anger surged within Li Yifei.

The Saintess sat in a daze for a while, then headed upstairs. Due to the assassination incident, she had sent away all the maids and attendants. She was alone in the vast ancient castle. It’s said that Elder Andisto had left Temple Guardians outside, but the Saintess was not familiar with them, and naturally, would not let them in.

As she walked upstairs, the Saintess suddenly widened her eyes, for there was someone sitting on the stairs. It was none other than Li Yifei. Seeing Li Yifei, the Saintess was both surprised and delighted. With her mouth agape, she then saw Li Yifei put a finger to his lips, making a shushing gesture. The Saintess quickly covered her mouth and rushed over as Li Yifei opened his arms, and she threw herself into them.

"Watch your arm!" Li Yifei quickly reminded, reaching out to stop the Saintess.

"Why did you break in, it’s so dangerous!" the Saintess said.

"Worried about you, so I came in!" Li Yifei hugged the Saintess’s waist, exerting a gentle force.

"Fool! What danger could I be in? The Elder was just here to check on my safety."

"Is that so?" Li Yifei chuckled softly.

"I know if what Babua on your side said is true, then there must be a real culprit among these people who found someone so skilled to assassinate me..." The Saintess nestled in Li Yifei’s arms, and as she reached this point, her face slightly changed, saying, "Then it could very well be that Elder himself, disguised!"

"I don’t know the internal situation of your organization, but...having the skill to hurt you is indeed rare. By the way, you said you shot the person? When I came earlier, I thought, the outside Babua was also shot. Right in the chest, could the opponent have even planned for this?"

The Saintess furrowed her beautiful brows, shaking her head, she said, "That shouldn’t be, my shot was aimed at the person’s head, but unfortunately, he dodged it..."

"Could it have missed?"

"Well... I can’t be sure, but I clearly saw it hit." The Saintess furrowed her brows even more.

Li Yifei exhaled and said, "Be careful. I’ll bring Babua in later, and the two of us can hide in the shadows. If that person comes again during this time, we’ll take him down!"
