Chapter 51: Breathing Technique

~11 min read 2,026 words

Ning Wu stood alone in the dim room, almost going crazy.

The corpses lying strewn about on the ground were constantly stinging her heart. The death of these people not only represented the failure of the operation, but also meant she had to bear the huge cost of the aftermath.

This cost was something she couldn't afford, and it was enough to ruin her life.

If she weren't a Spirit Perception Realm cultivator now, she would have already spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted directly from anger.

And even now, Ning Wu couldn't understand why her plan was so good, yet it could still fail in the end.

Did she underestimate Li Yi's strength?

Perhaps there was that aspect, but this was absolutely not the reason for failure. There must have been a problem with some link, which led to her complete defeat and ending up in such a state.

Suddenly.

A figure flashed through Ning Wu's mind.

Kong Sheng?

Right.

Why did so many people have problems, but only that Kong Sheng had no problems.

Although he was responsible for keeping watch and didn't participate in this operation, now even Wang Kui, who was hiding in the dark, had problems. There was no reason this Kong Sheng could stay out of it all along.

Was this operation leaked?

A conjecture appeared in Ning Wu's mind.

Although this was impossible, this was the only possibility Ning Wu could think of now.

"Ning Wu, what are you doing upstairs? Come down quickly, Li Yi has appeared."

Suddenly, Kong Sheng's voice sounded outside. He had already received Li Yi's signal and knew that Li Yi had successfully solved Wang Kui.

The next action was very simple.

Kill this Ning Wu and end all this completely.

"Li Yi has appeared? Good, very good, I'm coming."

Although Ning Wu realized that Kong Sheng was not right, she couldn't care about that much anymore. Only by killing them and snatching the mystic object back from Li Yi could she have a possibility of turning things around.

Otherwise, the ending waiting for her would be more painful than death.

Instantly.

Ning Wu rushed out. She didn't even want to waste time going downstairs and flipped out of the hallway directly.

Her agile figure leaped in mid-air, and she landed steadily on the ground.

Li Yi stood tall on the open ground downstairs, covered in blood, his eyes burning like torches, waiting for Ning Wu to appear.

All matters had been handled, and only she was left.

And Li Yi had another purpose for appearing in a hurry, which was to lure Ning Wu out. His relatives were still at home, and if Ning Wu noticed his parents sleeping in the medical pod, this matter would become troublesome.

Fortunately, the result was as he expected.

Ning Wu appeared.

She didn't care about Li Yi's parents who were unconscious in the room, nor did she think about using Li Yi's parents as hostages. She was already blinded by anger, only thinking about killing this guy Li Yi, then taking back the mystic object that belonged to her, and finally finding a way to calm this matter down.

"You actually dare to appear?" Ning Wu gritted her teeth, staring fixedly at Li Yi standing not far away.

If 'Eye Witness' could kill him, Li Yi would already be dead now.

"Why wouldn't I dare to appear? Is it possible that after seeing you, I can only turn around and run away like I did in the waste city district last time?" Li Yi also stared at this Ning Wu, filled with murderous intent.

Ning Wu's face was cold: "You still have the face to mention the waste city district? You took my things and didn't return them, forcing me to make a move."

"Your things? You are thick-skinned enough. Wang Hu, Wei Li, and I risked our lives to fight and brought out a little something, thinking about making a sum of money, but you were good, guarding outside, killing one as soon as one came out. So you don't give money and still want the things, right? Liu Yan was just one step ahead and was killed by you using 'Eye Witness'. If I hadn't run at that time, I would have died at the hands of a ruthless woman like you."

Li Yi shouted in a low voice: "Just right, now let's settle old accounts and new grudges together. If you don't come to find me today, I'll have to find you sooner or later."

"Good, good, very good. Having a bit of strength and you don't know who you are anymore. Soon you will regret how stupid the decision you made now is. You should have hidden far away like a rat in a gutter just now, instead of standing here openly provoking me."

Ning Wu was so angry that her chest was about to explode, but she didn't lose her mind because of this. Instead, her gaze inadvertently glanced at the residential building behind Li Yi.

Wang Kui was hiding in that building. At this time, Li Yi was a living target. If she made a move, now was the best time.

"Don't look, that Wang Kui is a wanted criminal and has already been killed by me." Li Yi captured this small movement of hers and directly pointed out her thoughts.

Hearing this sentence.

Ning Wu's suppressed anger was completely exploded: "Kong Sheng, it really is you, this traitor."

Now, she had completely sorted it out and understood the real reason for the failure of the operation.

Sure enough, it was as she conjectured, there was a traitor in the team.

"Ning Wu, you can't say it like that. I can't do things like hiring a murderer, let alone cooperating with a wanted criminal. So I decided to be a good person, stop your conspiracy, and be a messenger of justice." Kong Sheng walked out from a dark corner, hiding far away to protect himself.

"Justice your whole family. After killing Li Yi, I will settle accounts with you." Ning Wu was so angry that she cursed loudly.

"That will have to wait until you handle these things beautifully. But I think even if it's you, creating such a major case, you won't be able to stay out of it easily." Kong Sheng smiled indifferently.

He knew that his choice this time was right.

Wang Kui was dead, not only did Ning Wu's operation fail completely, but he could also successfully get the money that belonged to him.

"Li Yi, I've completed what I promised you. I won't participate in the rest. I don't want to be killed by Ning Wu here." Then, Kong Sheng said to Li Yi.

"You don't need to participate. You are no match for this Ning Wu. You go upstairs and clean up Wang Kui's corpse, and wait for the Investigation Bureau people to come and claim credit. And I will kill her here as much as possible." Li Yi said while filled with murderous intent, and slowly walked toward Ning Wu.

It would be best to kill this woman here.

However, he didn't have full confidence.

Because if Ning Wu wanted to run, Li Yi couldn't stop her.

But Li Yi believed that this Ning Wu's determination to kill him was no less than his own, so this Ning Wu would likely not run away.

"Must fight a quick battle and decide the outcome. Kill Li Yi before the investigators come, take away the mystic object. Only in this way can I compensate for the loss and resolve the impact of this matter."

Ning Wu forced herself to calm down, letting herself be calm. Anger would only make her lose her mind.

Facing Li Yi, she also didn't have absolute confidence to take him down.

Although this guy was Spirit Medium Realm, judging from the traces on those corpses, this Li Yi had obtained some kind of encounter and learned a technique that could unleash a cultivator's full strength.

A fist technique, plus Kong Sheng's defection and tipping off, was what caused Lao Ya and the others to overturn and all fold here.

Ning Wu looked at Li Yi walking toward her. She also had a cold face, and with murderous intent in her eyes, she met him. And as she approached, her breathing gradually became heavy, and the frequency became a bit strange, like a fierce beast making a dangerous low growl.

And accompanied by this low growl-like breathing, Ning Wu's skin gradually became ruddy, and at the same time, a dangerous aura was emitted.

Li Yi heard this low growl-like breathing, immediately stopped his steps cautiously, and his expression immediately became serious.

This kind of breathing sound was different from ordinary people... could it also be a technique?

"It shouldn't be a technique, it's mostly a method that can improve physical quality in a short time, it hasn't reached the level of a technique." Li Yi recalled Yang Yi Long's technique, and comparing the two, he found that Ning Wu's breathing technique had a big gap.

But he still set up his fist stance, without any fear.

In Li Yi's master Zhao Ge's world, martial artists dared to throw punches at more powerful enemies.

Without the spirit and energy to fight a whole country within a foot, what kind of punching are you practicing.

If Li Yi's punch could only be thrown at people weaker than himself, then his punching would be hard to improve.

Suddenly.

Ning Wu, whose breathing was adjusted to the best state, had her pupils shrink suddenly, and her pupils actually stood up slightly at this moment, becoming vertical pupils that only predators possessed. Now she regarded Li Yi as her prey, and at the same time, it also indicated that her body had once again evolved at this moment of life-and-death struggle.

Here it comes!

Ning Wu's legs exerted force suddenly, her whole person's speed increased sharply, her figure seemed to be pulled into a straight line, and she instantly rushed to Li Yi's front. And without stopping steadily, a leg whip hit over.

"Such fast skills."

Li Yi was suddenly startled. In this situation, he didn't even have time to throw a punch, because by the time his punch hit halfway, he would have been sent flying by Ning Wu's leg whip.

Immediately raised his hand to defend.

"Bang!"

The two made contact, just like a dragonfly skimming the water, they only made brief contact, but a powerful force exploded between the two.

Li Yi felt like he had been hit by a small car. The terrifying force made his whole body unable to withstand it, and he was several centimeters off the ground, while moving to the side for at least a meter before he barely stopped his figure.

Sharp pain came from his arm.

At the same time, the skin instantly ruptured, blood splashed out, and there were even a few fragments of flesh, and the bones inside seemed to have signs of cracking.

"Is this a Spirit Perception Realm evolver..."

Li Yi's heart was shocked. Having suffered such an injury while successfully defending, one could imagine how terrifying this Ning Wu's strength was.

Fortunately, this Ning Wu hadn't learned fist techniques, otherwise, with all her strength gathered, he would have had his arm kicked off and his spine broken with this kick, and he wouldn't have been able to block it at all.

This was the gap in physical quality between cultivators, not something that could be simply made up for.

However, before Li Yi could adjust his state.

Suddenly, the low growling breathing sound echoed, and Ning Wu's figure closed in again, attacking like a fierce beast. Her vertical pupils stared fixedly at Li Yi, murderous intent surging, and she also raised her hand and threw a heavy punch.

"Come." Li Yi roared, his voice like thunder.

His feet exerted force, the ground cracked instantly, and he raised his hand to unleash his fist force, blasting a crisp sound in mid-air and meeting the attack directly. ===== CHAPTER 52 =====
