Chapter 43: Martial arts is for killing the enemy (Third update, seeking monthly votes)

"The warning is completely lifted, it should be safe." Li Yuan pondered for a moment, then walked out of the room.

His aunt and younger siblings were not up yet.

"Go to school first." Li Yuan left home and walked out of the residential complex.

The military vehicle at the end of the intersection at four in the morning had disappeared.

There were no patrolling soldiers to be seen either.

However, Li Yuan's eyes were sharp, and he could see a drone hovering in the sky several hundred meters away.

It seemed to be on alert.

Li Yuan went straight to the bus stop to take the electric train, but after waiting for a long time, no vehicle came.

"Forget it."

"I'll just run to school." Li Yuan turned around and jogged along the street toward the school.

With Li Yuan's physical fitness, his so-called jogging could maintain a speed of eight or nine meters per second.

In less than ten minutes, he could run to school.

On both sides of the street, many shops were opening one after another, and there were also many pedestrians who seemed to be going to work.

Once there were many people, it added a sense of safety.

When turning another street corner.

Suddenly.

"Young man, you seem a bit late for your morning run today." A cheerful voice sounded.

"Wasn't there a Star Realm creature attack last night? I waited for the warning to be lifted before coming out." Li Yuan slowed his pace significantly and responded with a smile: "Boss, you're still opening the shop today? I don't see you resting."

The person calling Li Yuan was the owner of the Fuwei Noodle Restaurant.

He was moving things.

The two had met many times and were very familiar strangers.

"I have to pay rent, I can't stop." The boss said cheerfully. He was slightly plump, but his arms were very strong, and he easily lifted a large table.

"Boss, make a fortune." Li Yuan said casually and continued running forward.

He passed a small alley entrance that was one person wide, pitch black.

Subconsciously.

Li Yuan glanced at it.

Following that, Li Yuan saw a blurry figure rushing out from the sewer at the end of the alley.

Judging by the path, it seemed to be rushing out along the alley toward the main road here.

"Hmm?" Li Yuan's heart tightened suddenly, as if he felt an instinctive danger.

But his body, while running, had already rushed out more than twenty meters by inertia.

Then.

Li Yuan stopped completely, turned around, eyes staring fixedly at the alley entrance, his footsteps subconsciously retreating backward.

"Thump~" "Thump~" Li Yuan's keen hearing had already heard the continuous, slight, rapid sounds coming from the alley.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!" It seemed there was also heavy, rapid breathing.

Subconsciously.

Li Yuan retreated to the side of a closed shop on the road, because there were two hollow metal rods leaning against the wall, which seemed to be used to support goods.

In the dark, something was reminding Li Yuan that he should run immediately.

But before Li Yuan could react.

Boom!

A thin, tall figure suddenly rushed out of the narrow alley and stood on the sidewalk.

How good was Li Yuan's eyesight? He saw it instantly.

This was a humanoid creature nearly two meters tall, with four arms, its skin entirely emerald blue, just like the color of the ocean, with long emerald green hair, scarlet eyes, yet flashing with wisdom.

It was as if it were a creature that had run out of the water.

Its limbs were slender, with proportions higher than humans, giving people a sense of elegance. The tips of its hands and feet had evolved into sharp webs, and the most eye-catching thing was the structure on its back that looked like a fish fin or a fish tail.

"Fish Spirit Clan? Star Realm creature!" Li Yuan recognized it instantly, his hair standing on end.

Star Realm creatures are strange and varied, some similar to various animals on Blue Star, some humanoid, some like enlarged insects... but humanoid creatures account for one-third of them.

And the Fish Spirit Clan is a very famous category, capable of living amphibiously on land and in water.

In the many attacks Jiangcheng has encountered in history, the Fish Spirit Clan was the main force.

"Here, how could there still be a Star Realm creature slipping through the net?" Li Yuan's hair stood on end, facing a great enemy: "Wasn't the warning lifted?"

Almost instinctively.

【Target creature, life level is 10.2, ranked creature, in a state of serious injury, currently about 9.2, killing can obtain spiritual nourishment】 Li Yuan's mind moved, his spiritual consciousness felt a slight fatigue, and he had already obtained the target's life information.

Already ranked, equivalent to a true martial artist.

However.

Among the information obtained, what made Li Yuan's spirit lift slightly was the target's state of serious injury.

The physical fitness it could erupt with seemed to be only level 9.2.

"Shot?" Li Yuan then noticed that there was a bullet hole in the chest of this Fish Spirit Clan member, but not much blood was flowing out, so he didn't see it at first.

If physical fitness reaches the martial artist level, the body is strong. If it's a small-caliber bullet and doesn't hit a vital point, it can't be killed in one hit.

Besides discovering the target's state of serious injury, Li Yuan also noticed the last sentence in the probe information: "Killing can obtain spiritual nourishment."

What is this?

Li Yuan had probed the life levels of many martial artists before, but had never encountered such a prompt.

It sounds slow.

In reality, within one second of this Fish Spirit Clan member rushing out of the alley, Li Yuan had already completed identification and appraisal.

At the same time, subconsciously.

Li Yuan grabbed the hollow metal rod beside him, faintly assuming an attack posture, staring fixedly at the other party.

In the various Star Realm creature data that Li Yuan had studied from childhood to adulthood.

These Star Realm creatures are extremely brutal, and once encountered, a battle will inevitably break out.

However, contrary to Li Yuan's expectations.

"Boom!"

This injured Fish Spirit Clan member, as if sensing that Li Yuan was not to be trifled with, instantly turned around, its figure agile, webbed claws stepping on the brick ground, rushing toward the owner of the Fuwei Noodle Restaurant dozens of meters away.

The speed was astonishing.

Obviously, in its perception, Li Yuan was not to be trifled with.

"Star Realm creature?" The noodle restaurant owner had also seen the Fish Spirit Clan member rushing over. His adrenaline soared, and he subconsciously picked up a kitchen knife from the side!!

Just at this moment.

"Whoosh!" The air exploded, erupting with a sharp whistling sound like a low moan!

A hollow metal rod nearly three meters long, like a giant arrow, swept across the sky, directly piercing toward that Fish Spirit Clan member.

The Fish Spirit Clan member was fast, but the metal rod roared over faster and more fiercely!

"Roar~"

This Fish Spirit Clan member instinctively sensed it and subconsciously dodged, but its speed on land was already slower, plus it was injured.

"Thump~"

The metal long rod fiercely struck the Fish Spirit Clan member's shoulder, the terrifying impact force directly slamming its slender body, nearly two meters tall, to one side of the ground.

Bricks shattered.

Its body rolled on the ground.

Blood oozed from the surface of its shoulder, which looked like fish scales, and then quickly stopped!

"Heh! Boom~~"

The Fish Spirit Clan member suddenly turned over, emitting bursts of strange low roars, seemingly full of anger, staring at Li Yuan, who was standing dozens of meters away, completely ignoring the noodle restaurant owner who was closer.

Its arms lifted slightly, one side of the arms gleaming with a chilling cold light, just like bone blades.

"Want to kill me?" Li Yuan had already gripped the last hollow metal rod, staring fixedly at this Fish Spirit Clan member.

Just now.

Seeing the noodle restaurant owner in danger, Li Yuan almost subconsciously blasted the metal rod in his hand.

Li Yuan had always been very cautious in his actions and was unwilling to take risks easily.

Because Li Yuan knew that he only had one life.

However, to see death and not save, to watch the other party die, and it was also an acquaintance?

Li Yuan asked himself, he really couldn't do it.

And when he blasted the metal rod out.

Facing this Fish Spirit Clan member, seeing those bloodthirsty eyes, Li Yuan's heart no longer had any cowardice.

Or rather, he couldn't have more thoughts, only instinct remained.

"Martial arts is for killing the enemy." In Li Yuan's heart, only unspeakable courage and hot blood remained.

"Roar~"

That Fish Spirit Clan member had already let out a low roar and suddenly flew over, its speed astonishing.

"Boom!"

Li Yuan also had no hesitation. As soon as his figure moved, he executed the "Dragon Movement Technique", like a swimming dragon actively rushing toward the other party.

Long weapons must have enough space to be deployed.

"Whoosh" "Whoosh!"

This Fish Spirit Clan member had already realized that Li Yuan was not to be trifled with and did not slash at Li Yuan as casually as it slaughtered ordinary humans. Its arms danced like twin blades, attempting to hack Li Yuan to death.

"Pfft!"

The metal long rod, like a great spear, when it was about to touch the Fish Spirit Clan member's arm, the speed of the rod head soared in an instant, creating dozens of phantoms, causing this Fish Spirit Clan member to be distracted instantly.

Following that, the metal long rod had already pierced through the gap between the Fish Spirit Clan member's arms like lightning.

Directly striking its head and eyeballs.

The five great killing moves of "Rock Spear Technique" — Ten Thousand Images of Mountains.

"Thump~" As if grapes were suddenly smashed, its eyeballs burst instantly.

Water and blood splashed everywhere!

"Thump~" The impact force generated by the collision of the two sides also made Li Yuan's arm tremble, and his figure suddenly darted backward.

Unloading the force.

"Ah ah~" The pain of the bursting eyeballs made the Fish Spirit Clan member instantly feel heart-piercing pain, and its eyes couldn't help but go black.

Subconsciously, one hand covered the injured eyeball.

"Thump~"

But the metal long rod in Li Yuan's hand was extremely flexible, and it had already pierced over like lightning again, mercilessly, striking its other eye.

Burst!

Both eyes blinded!! The entire body began to wail crazily.

"Your technique is too poor, not even reaching the third stage." Li Yuan muttered to himself.

The heavy rod was lifted high, his arm exerted force again, and he fiercely smashed toward the top of the other party's skull.
