Chapter 9 Madness
A crimson light shot towards him, and the long-haired youth quickly unleashed his inner energy, leaping up like a roc spreading its wings, jumping twenty meters onto the overpass and barely avoiding the attack.
Li Ai stomped her foot, breaking the ground to stop herself, and turned to rush towards the leaning utility pole.
With a powerful push of her feet, the thick pole bent instantly, and she used the recoil to leap onto the overpass.
The spear swung in a wide arc, whistling as it ripped through the air, and slammed down hard.
The long-haired youth's expression changed drastically: "Are you insane? You forcibly interrupted your martial arts, causing your blood and qi to flow in reverse, willing to destroy yourself to kill me?!"
Forced to change his move mid-strike, Li Ai suffered a backlash of qi and blood, spitting out blood and his eyes becoming bloodshot.
"You talk too much nonsense!"
boom!
The spear struck the bridge surface, unleashing tremendous force that instantly created a crater a meter in diameter. Cracks spread wildly like a spider web, and the flying debris was as powerful as bullets.
The violent force rebounded and swept over her arms, making cracking sounds as her arm muscles rippled and instantly turned red with bruises.
The young man dodged awkwardly, his body covered in wounds from the falling rocks. Before he could catch his breath, the sound of wind cutting through the air reached his ears.
The severely bent gun barrel swept across like a steel whip, striking his waist hard.
The young man's eyes bulged out, and he fell off the bridge, spitting blood.
"Cough cough—" Li Ai's hands trembled violently, her chest was churning with blood and qi, and she was in excruciating pain in her heart and lungs.
The iron spear, now shaped like an Ω, lost its grip and fell to the ground with a dull thud, rendering it unusable for combat.
She endured the pain and was preparing to continue the pursuit when she suddenly heard footsteps again.
Li Hui warned, "Be careful, these two are at the sixth and seventh levels of Body Tempering, respectively."
Upon hearing this, Li Ai looked down at the street below, where a man and a woman were walking slowly towards her.
The woman, her lips pierced, spoke in an exaggeratedly mocking tone: "Wow, Young Master Bai, what happened to you? Tsk tsk... Your kidneys are all burst, can you still pull off any fancy moves in bed?"
Young Master Bai lay on the ground, his waist hollowed out, barely breathing, and unable to speak.
The man had a cold, hard face and a buzz cut. He sneered disdainfully, "Useless trash. You can't even handle a student whose spirit foundation has been destroyed. You've disgraced the Fierce Tiger Hall."
Fierce Tiger Hall?
Seeing that they were wearing the same standard combat uniforms, Li Ai instantly realized that they were the Black Street Hunters, a group of desperate criminals who lived on the edge and bullied the weak.
"The Fierce Tiger Hall, is it? If I live today, I will slaughter your entire hunting party!" Li Ai's tone was icy, filled with extreme resentment.
If we can't deal with the Lin family, then we'll deal with their lackeys first!
"How arrogant!" The crew-cut man slammed the large sword on the ground behind his back and beckoned to Li Ai with his finger: "I won't use any weapons to deal with you."
The woman with the lip piercing laughed and quickly pulled out her dagger, leaping onto the overpass like a cheetah: "This is my prey, brother, don't try to take it."
"Okay, I'll cover for you." The crew-cut man smiled indulgently.
The woman with the lip piercing laughed wildly as she charged towards Li Ai, her dagger flashing coldly: "Die, you little rat!"
Pfft!
Hot blood suddenly splattered, splattering all over the lip-pierced woman's face. The sinister smile on her face froze instantly, turning into astonishment.
Didn't dodge?
Just like that... he got stabbed?
"Watch out!!" came the terrified shout from the crew-cut man.
Before the woman with the lip piercing could even react to what she was about to be careful of, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.
Her gaze shifted downwards, staring blankly at the dark claw piercing her abdomen.
How could a human grow claws like those of a vile beast?
A martial artist's body is hard, and without weapons, it is extremely difficult to break through their defenses. But Li Ai's hands are themselves the most ferocious blades.
Without needing any poison, Li Ai roared and strained her arms, tearing violently to both sides.
Chi-
Amidst the terrifying commotion, the woman with the lip piercing ripped open her abdomen, her organs splattering out, and a torrent of hot, bloody spray poured down, turning Li Ai's gray hair a glaring red.
The woman with the lip piercing fell to the ground with a thud.
Li Ai gritted her teeth and pulled out the dagger from her heart. In front of the crew-cut man, she ordered Li Hui to activate the power of plunder.
Crack!
Crimson electricity coiled around the mangled body, flesh and blood rapidly dissolved, and blood plasma swished back.
"I kill you--!!"
Seeing his sister's body torn to pieces, the crew-cut man's eyes widened in fury. His seventh-level Body Tempering Qi and blood exploded violently, smashing through the bridge and unleashing a furious punch at the writhing blood-red figure.
Bang!
The shockwave swept in all directions.
Li Ai raised her hand to meet the punch head-on, and was immediately sent flying dozens of meters like a kite with a broken string, crashing into the depths of the dilapidated building, billowing smoke and dust.
"Pay for my sister's life!"
The man with the buzz cut, acting like a madman, chased her into the building and, taking advantage of Li Ai's dizziness, grabbed her and slammed her against the wall.
Boom!
The entire wall collapsed with a roar, scattering debris everywhere.
Li Ai sprang to her feet, her eyes flashing with ferocity, and charged forward like a bull, crashing through wall after wall, her head hitting the crew-cut man.
The centuries-old building crumbled under the immense force of the two men; the steel bars twisted and the walls collapsed one after another.
Elbow strikes, headbutts, knee strikes, biting...
Forget all that nonsense about marksmanship; in this life-or-death struggle, all she had left was her most primal and frantic instincts.
boom! boom! boom!
The crew-cut man held Li Ai's shoulders and slammed her against the wall repeatedly; Li Ai wrapped her legs tightly around his waist, her fists swirling with energy, and kept hammering the crew-cut man's head.
Bones shattered, flesh and blood flew everywhere, toxins and black lines spread wildly, and arms twisted and dislocated.
The two fought to the point of madness, exchanging wounds for wounds and risking their lives for each other.
The terrifying roar lasted for a full two minutes before gradually subsiding.
A tall, thin figure limped and dragged the crew-cut man out of the ruins.
Her left arm was bent, her chest was caved in, blood was gushing from her carotid artery, a large piece of her scalp was torn off, her left eye was a bloody mess, her clothes were tattered, and there was almost no good flesh on her body.
Young Master Bai struggled to lift his eyes, his breath weak, and stared blankly at her.
Seemingly recovering a little, he spoke with difficulty, "You've offended the Lin family...you're doomed...without a doubt..."
Chi!
With a swipe of its claws, a head was tossed high into the air.
Li Ai vomited a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs, panting heavily, her eyes crazed and cold: "Don't bother with my troubles."
........
boom!
The vehicle wreckage exploded with a loud bang, scattering metal and parts everywhere.
The soldier's palms were red as hot as branding irons, radiating scorching heat.
His chest heaved violently as he stared intently at the two heads suspended in mid-air, swaying gently with the power lines, uttering each word slowly and deliberately, through gritted teeth:
"Fine, fine, fine! You dare provoke me like this? You've got guts!"
The members of the Fierce Tiger Hall were furious; they hadn't even caught a glimpse of their opponent before losing six brothers.
Anger burned fiercely in their chests. Before the soldiers could give the order, the group was already impatient and furious, and continued their pursuit without stopping.
.........
........
wow-
The bloodstains were washed away by the floodwater and dripped down the strands of hair.
Li Ai gazed at her reflection in the water; her face, now cleansed of blood, was as pale as paper, showing no signs of injury.
She could easily heal injuries that were almost fatal, and she could no longer distinguish whether she was a human or a man-eating demon.
Li Hui leaned against the ruins, his tone indifferent: "This is the fourth one already. You should be used to it by now."
"Shut up!"
Like a small animal whose sore spot has been stepped on, Li Ai suddenly looked up and glared at him.
Just thinking about what she had just witnessed made her stomach churn uncontrollably. She bent over and dry heaved violently, but unfortunately, there was nothing left in her stomach to vomit.
