208. Chapter 208: Revealing Strength

After Yang Yi Long's death, Li Yi began to actively reveal the news that the opponent's fist technique was flawed, in order to prevent people from the Yang family from taking his fist technique to sell everywhere and profit, while also declaring that he, the original owner, had to stand up to rectify the name of the fist technique.

And after tonight, once the news that the fist technique was flawed spread, the Yang family's fist technique would not only be worthless but would also be demanded for refunds by other cultivators.

No one wanted to cultivate a technique that had problems.

"It seems Yang Yi Long's defeat was indeed not unjust. I guess he didn't know the fist technique he was cultivating had problems until he died." Li Shaoqing smiled at this moment, then looked at Li Yi, feeling that this guy was really cunning.

Such important news was only said now; he hadn't revealed a bit of it when Yang Yi Long was alive before.

He could really hide things.

Li Yi was very calm at this moment: "The fist technique I learned at great risk, I teach whoever I want to teach. Yang Yi Long forcibly demanded it at the beginning; if I didn't give it, I would die, so that was a method with no other choice at the time. But now that Yang Yi Long is dead, these things are not important. However, I heard that the Yang family takes my fist technique and sells it everywhere for 30 million a copy, which is truly a bit shameless."

"If I don't stand up and declare something, that would be slapping my own face."

"Li Yi, don't worry. After this matter ends today, I will issue a statement in the name of the Vice President of the Cultivator Association to clarify that the Yang family's fist technique is fake." Li Shaoqing said seriously at this moment.

Now that Yang Yi Long was dead and Li Yi had risen, he naturally had to give some face.

Although he was about to enter the Golden Academy soon, Li Yi was also a newcomer with great potential. Perhaps he would enter in the future, and if he made friends with him, they might be able to help each other in the future.

"If the Vice President can do this, it would really be a big help to me. Thank you." Li Yi nodded to express his gratitude.

Li Shaoqing smiled: "It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning. However, what we need to consider now is how to complete today's mission."

After speaking, he pointed to the Wang Sect Residential District on the side.

No one dared to enter the Wang Sect Residential District. The more Spirit Perception experts there were, the more they could sense the danger within. But the mission had progressed to this point, and only the last residential district remained uncleared. If they retreated now, this mission would have no meaning at all. They must think of a sufficiently safe method to solve this matter.

"I have already made a suggestion to the Investigation Bureau to directly destroy this Wang Sect Residential District with weapons. As long as it is controlled well, it will not affect other parts of the Old City District."

At this time, Daoist Priest Pete walked out from another street in the Old City District, followed by a person.

That person was tall, wearing a trench coat, with a scar on his forehead, and his whole person emitted a majestic and steady demeanor.

Captain Zhang Lei?

Seeing Zhang Lei at this moment, Li Shaoqing couldn't help but be stunned. He remembered very clearly that Zhang Lei was injured and had been lying in the hospital, unconscious for a period of time. Moreover, he had consulted many medical companies, and the conclusion was that his soul had been heavily damaged, and ordinary medical means were useless, so he could not be cured.

Why did he appear in the Old City District today?

"Zhang Lei, is your soul injury... healed?" Li Shaoqing felt a trace of strangeness.

Can soul injuries be treated? Did the Investigation Bureau have such means?

"Not completely healed, but normal movement should be no problem." Zhang Lei coughed twice, and his whole person had a sickly feeling.

Seeing this, Li Yi understood in his heart. One Soul-Returning Pill was not enough to completely cure Zhang Lei's soul injury; it could only let Zhang Lei wake up and restore his ability to move. If he wanted to completely recover, he estimated it would take two or three pills.

"That's good. With the Captain joining this operation, I estimate it will be completed very smoothly." Li Shaoqing said.

Zhang Lei said: "I hope so."

Afterward, he looked at Li Yi again: "I heard just now that you killed Yang Yi Long?"

"Does the Captain think Yang Yi Long shouldn't have been killed?" Li Yi said.

Zhang Lei smiled: "No, I have long wanted to kill him. This Yang Yi Long is a very unstable factor. Pete and I have long wanted to finish this guy off, but we never found a suitable opportunity and reason. You also know that as the Captain of the Investigation Bureau, I have to consider the influence of everything I do; otherwise, how could he have walked out of the Investigation Bureau's gate?"

"Li Yi, you being able to finish off Yang Yi Long really gave me a fright. That guy's strength is not simple. When he acts, in the entire Tianchang City cultivation circle, no Spirit Perception expert dares to say they can take him down in one go. It seems your strength has improved very rapidly during the time I was unconscious."

He was very satisfied with Li Yi's performance and strength; at least there was someone in the future Investigation Bureau who could take the lead.

"Yang Yi Long was indeed very strong. To finish him off, I was also almost finished." Li Yi said, raising one of his hands.

Although the bleeding on his palm had stopped, the sword mark that went deep into the bone was still shocking.

A little more, and he would have had an arm taken away by Yang Yi Long.

"Life-and-death combat is naturally extremely dangerous. Alright, let's not talk about this matter. Let's talk about the Wang Sect Residential District. Just now, Daoist Priest Pete has already suggested directly destroying this district once and for all, saving us cultivators from taking risks and facing those evil things. The strategy is very good; it just depends on whether the Investigation Bureau agrees."

Zhang Lei looked at the old residential district with lights on at this moment, and couldn't help but frown.

No wonder Daoist Priest Pete would make such a suggestion. In this Old City District where walking corpses and monsters were rampant, having such a calm and normal residential district made anyone feel uneasy.

Rather than acting, it was better to use weapons directly.

Using the lives of experts to test mistakes was indeed very irrational.

"Wait another half an hour. After the Investigation Bureau has a clear reply, we will act." Zhang Lei said after observing for a while.

Everyone didn't speak, tacitly agreeing to this plan.

And within this half an hour, cultivators also arrived near the Wang Sect Residential District one after another. The reason their actions were so smooth was because Li Shaoqing, Li Yi, Pete, Zhang Lei, and others arrived first, sharing the pressure for them; otherwise, their actions would never have been so smooth.

"Gu Mengping, you came too? Not staying at home playing games?" Zhang Lei saw an acquaintance.

"Zhang Lei?"

Gu Mengping's expression flickered, then he smiled and said: "No way, I want to compete for the Golden Academy quota, so naturally I have to be active. I also want to become a cross-dimensional traveler. When I cross to a world with better game technology one day, I will definitely stay there and not leave, and you won't have to see me for the rest of your life."

"Haha, a world with better game technology? Do you think there will be such an absurd world?" Zhang Lei laughed loudly.

"That's hard to say." After Gu Mengping finished speaking, his smile faded, and he looked at Li Yi not far away.

But just one look made his eyelids jump.

Li Yi was just sitting there casually, but his whole body was emitting red light, and a stream of Qi and blood seemed to turn into wolf smoke and rise into the sky, appearing particularly miraculous in the eyes of evolvers. And before he even got close, a scorching breath rushed toward him, as if he himself were a furnace, emitting astonishing heat.

"What exactly is going on with you? When I saw you in the Old City District last time, you were still an ordinary Spirit Perception Realm cultivator, but this time... it seems like you are burning yourself, bursting out with unimaginable vitality." Gu Mengping stared at Li Yi, carrying a trace of wariness.

"I don't want to tell you." Li Yi glanced at him, his expression cold.

Gu Mengping was a bit annoyed at first, but soon realized that the current Li Yi was no longer the previous Li Yi. After rising by stepping on Yang Yi Long, his strength was enough to sit on equal footing with Spirit Perception Realm experts, no, even surpassing Spirit Perception experts by a lot. Naturally, he had the qualifications to put on some airs.

"Any means of improving strength in a short time has a price. To forcibly raise the strength of a Spirit Perception Realm cultivator to the point of defeating Yang Yi Long, Li Yi, the price you paid must be quite high, right? Compared to before, the flesh and blood on your body seem to have been boiled dry, and your whole person has become much thinner."

Gu Mengping smiled, then directly and keenly pointed out Li Yi's current state.

Everyone looked.

It was indeed so.

The current Li Yi was even thinner than just now, but his aura had actually increased, which was very unusual.

"You shouldn't be saying this out of concern for me, right?" Li Yi said.

He was currently in the period of the Blood Burning Art, and his body consumption was huge. As for the price, of course, there was one, just ten years of life, but he could afford it.

It was just that his strength source was not the Blood Burning Art, but that he had opened six major meridians himself and became a Meridian Cultivation Realm evolver.

Of course, he wouldn't say this.

"No, I just feel that you can't maintain this state for long. After this method passes, your strength will return to the Spirit Perception Realm. If it were normal times, I wouldn't say anything, but now, everyone is completing the mission and competing for the Golden Academy quota. You doing this has a suspicion of cheating." Gu Mengping said.

"If you doubt my strength, why don't you verify it yourself?"

Li Yi stood up slowly at this moment: "Gu Mengping, don't think I don't know you have a friendship with Yang Yi Long. You are unhappy that I killed him, right? It doesn't matter. If you want to avenge Yang Yi Long, you can come. Anyway, killing one is killing, and killing two is also killing."

"Verification is unnecessary. We are all external combat personnel of the Investigation Bureau; there is no need for conflict." Gu Mengping said: "My words just now were a bit inappropriate, and I can apologize to you."

"What do I need your apology for? Take a punch from me, and it will be as if nothing happened."

Li Yi suddenly shouted at this moment, his voice like a big bell being struck, carrying force that made people's ears buzz.

The next moment.

His Qi and blood erupted, his divine power poured out, and his whole person was like a transcendent creature, striking horizontally. In a daze, a pair of glowing vertical pupils had already locked onto Gu Mengping.

He didn't want to explain so much.

Acting to show his strength was the best way to shut others up.

The fist aura surged and condensed at this moment, and the air was shattered, emitting a roar like thunder.

Thunder God Hammer!

A killing move, struck without holding back. This kind of punch was even fiercer and more ferocious than when dealing with Yang Yi Long just now.

Gu Mengping's pupils shrank abruptly.

His Spirit Perception was warning him crazily.

Not just him, the moment Li Yi acted, everyone's Spirit Perception sent out dangerous signals. This level of danger was the same as facing a transcendent M200 sniper rifle. If one was not careful, people would die.

"Li Yi." Zhang Lei roared, trying to stop Li Yi and let him show mercy, not to cause loss of life.

Otherwise, this matter would be difficult to handle.

"Cannot take it head-on, otherwise I will have to exit early today..." Gu Mengping's heart trembled. Relying on the reaction and speed of a Spirit Perception expert, he quickly retreated, distancing himself from Li Yi's fist.

"Boom!"

The moment Gu Mengping retreated, a roar sounded from the position he was in.

The hard cement floor was instantly lifted by a terrifying force, and the strong wind carrying the air wave scattered. Just the diffusion of the remaining power made people feel a sense of horror.

Everyone was shocked.

If one were hit by such a punch, how could they still be alive? ===== CHAPTER 208 =====
