Chapter 100: The Great Dao Does Not Walk Alone

The green-clothed woman moved suddenly, without any warning beforehand, and was as fast as lightning, moving like thunder!

She and Li Fei were less than ten meters apart. Jumping up from the Taishi chair, she arrived in front of Li Fei in the blink of an eye.

She slapped Li Fei's chest with a palm, and the strong palm wind blew away the hood Li Fei was wearing, revealing the black head cover underneath.

The other party came too fast, so fast that Li Fei didn't even have time to draw his blade, nor did he have time to dodge, so he could only raise his arms to make a cross-block in front of his chest.

*Clap! *

The green-clothed woman's right palm struck Li Fei's arm heavily.

Li Fei had already prepared himself mentally for a large reduction in blood souls, but this thunderous strike became extremely gentle at the moment of contact. The green-clothed woman's right palm turned from extreme motion to extreme stillness, simultaneously changing from a palm to a grab, grabbing Li Fei's arm.

The next second, a powerful force of strength spread through Li Fei's whole body like an electric shock.

Li Fei's whole body went numb, and the steel armor implant under his skin seemed to be pricked by a needle, becoming restless again.

He couldn't care about calming the restless implant in his body, and while exerting force to break free from the other party's hand, he kicked out his right foot, cutting toward the other party's calf like a sickle.

"Eh?"

The green-clothed woman's eyes showed surprise.

Having been hit by her Storm Gang Qi without any defense, even a strength-practicing Martial Master would feel like being scraped by a steel blade, with pain piercing the heart, and the implant in the body would also suffer strong stimulation, becoming restless and out of control.

However, Li Fei didn't show any abnormality at all and could immediately take a counterattack.

The green-clothed woman stood still. Just as she was about to be kicked by Li Fei's sickle leg, a translucent air vortex appeared out of thin air, blocking in front of Li Fei's leg.

*Bang! *

Li Fei used 'Blood Rage' for this leg, consuming 5 blood souls at once, enough to bend an iron pillar, but he couldn't kick away this small air vortex, instead being bounced away by a huge spiral force.

A gale blew in the hall!

At the same time, a group of air vortexes also appeared in the green-clothed woman's right hand that grabbed Li Fei's arm. This time, a huge suction force was transmitted, firmly adsorbing Li Fei's arm and even his whole body in her palm, unable to break free.

*Zzzzz—*

Electric light suddenly began to flicker in the green-clothed woman's left palm, and dazzling lightning circled in her palm.

The steel armor implant in Li Fei's body immediately became frantically restless, making him feel huge danger!

The power of this lightning was definitely much stronger than the lightning of Zong Guang back then!

Seeing the green-clothed woman about to strike with a palm, Li Fei hurriedly shouted:

"Teacher's wife! Don't shoot, it's one of our own!"

*Swish—*

The green-clothed woman's left palm stopped in front of Li Fei's chest, and the lightning in her palm scorched Li Fei's clothes black, cracking a large opening and revealing the solid chest muscles inside.

"What did you say?!"

The green-clothed woman looked at Li Fei in surprise.

Li Fei had already prepared himself to expose his identity when he decided to come here personally. For no other reason than that the other party was Hao Yi's junior sister, so he must help the Qingyuan Boxing Village solve this crisis!

At this moment, he was not awkward and said generously:

"Hao Yi is my teacher."

The green-clothed woman was startled upon hearing this, waved her left hand upward, as if a steel blade had slashed across, just right to slash open the head cover on Li Fei's face, but without hurting the skin inside in the slightest.

This control over power was truly something Li Fei admired.

The green-clothed woman looked at Li Fei's face carefully, then let go of his arm and took a few steps back:

"Are you Li Fei?"

"Student Li Fei, has seen Teacher's wife!"

Li Fei also took a step back and bowed to the green-clothed woman.

The green-clothed woman, who had always appeared calm and composed, was startled upon hearing this, and a touch of shyness appeared on her face, hurriedly saying:

"I am not your teacher's wife. Hao Yi is my senior brother, I am your junior martial aunt, my name is Shangguan Xiao."

Li Fei looked up at this junior martial aunt.

In fact, he didn't know the other party's identity at the beginning, just out of the idea of finding someone to join forces, he let Liu Saner contact the Great Dragon Head of the Qingyuan Boxing Village.

If the other party agreed to join forces, that would be best. If not, then forget it. Anyway, he would definitely not run to the Qingyuan Boxing Village to take risks personally.

However, after connecting that phone call and hearing the voice from the phone, Li Fei was stunned.

He happened to hear the phone call between Hao Yi and his 'old friend' back then, heard the other party call Hao Yi 'senior brother,' and finally shouted 'dead ghost,' so he had an impression of Shangguan Xiao's voice.

The voice from the phone was exactly the same as that one, so Li Fei had the subsequent probing.

And after a round of probing, Li Fei basically determined the identity of this Great Dragon Head of the Qingyuan Boxing Village—

It was indeed his teacher's wife, no, junior martial aunt.

So he dared to run to the Qingyuan Boxing Village to see the other party personally.

"Your teacher actually mentioned me to you?"

Shangguan Xiao asked curiously.

Li Fei said embarrassedly:

"Teacher didn't mention it, I heard the phone call between you unintentionally. It was the student who was rude, please forgive me, Teacher's wife."

After speaking, he bowed again.

"Ah?"

Shangguan Xiao was stunned, even more embarrassed:

"Oh my, you child, I already said I'm not your teacher's wife."

Although she said so, Li Fei clearly saw that her face was full of smiles, and the corners of her mouth couldn't be pressed down.

So Li Fei continued to ask:

"Teacher's wife... Junior martial aunt actually knows me too?"

Shangguan Xiao's smile became even brighter:

"You are senior brother's student, so naturally I have to pay attention. I also know that you previously made a great contribution, were personally received by the Chief, and captured the fake Green-Faced Ghost not long ago. Heh, I didn't expect you to be the Green-Faced Ghost. Your teacher probably doesn't know, right?"

"Student didn't mean to hide it, just..."

Li Fei was about to bow again, but was stopped by Shangguan Xiao raising her hand:

"No need to say more, I know senior brother's character. What you did, he certainly won't approve of."

Li Fei was silent.

Shangguan Xiao smiled: "Your teacher may not approve, but what you did is very much to my taste. Junior martial aunt must say, well done!"

Li Fei also showed a smile upon hearing this.

In fact, he had analyzed it carefully before coming. The person who could open a Qingyuan Boxing Village must have a different character from Hao Yi. Although Hao Yi wouldn't approve of what he did, the other party might not necessarily.

Now it seems that the result was much better than he expected.

"Thank you, Teacher's wife—no, Junior martial aunt, for your approval!"

Li Fei bowed to Shangguan Xiao again.

"Oh my, you child, you are just too polite."

Shangguan Xiao was full of smiles, the more she looked at Li Fei, the more pleasing she found him:

"Come, come, sit and chat."

So the two sat down and started chatting.

Li Fei first said how he was accepted as a student by Hao Yi, then what he learned from Hao Yi, and what implant he chose.

Then he said what things he had done as the Green-Faced Ghost, and why he did so.

Li Fei was very honest from beginning to end, without hiding his heart, just didn't say about the Blood Soul Bead, and didn't say why he could have his current strength.

And Shangguan Xiao had no intention of asking about this at all. She even took the initiative to say to Li Fei:

"Everyone has secrets. Even the closest relatives may not be able to be completely honest. You don't have to tell me everything. I just need to be sure that your character is not bad and you haven't done anything to disgrace the sect."

In fact, Li Fei dared to come to Shangguan Xiao to reveal his identity, largely because he trusted Hao Yi. With this teacher to cover for him, he dared to come and take risks.

But now after a conversation with Shangguan Xiao, his impression of this 'future teacher's wife' also became better, and he initially established trust.

"Junior martial aunt, I came to see you this time, indeed because the Chief's faction and the Tiger Blade Gang are about to join forces

After the conversation ended, Li Fei began to talk about the main business:

"My uncle is the Captain of the First Brigade of the Inspectorate. I received definite news from him that the Inspectorate is already making a contingency plan to attack the Qingyuan Fist Village!"

If Shangguan Xiao were not his martial aunt and not involved with Hao Yi, Li Fei wouldn't care too much about this alliance. But now, he sincerely wanted to help Shangguan Xiao resolve this crisis.

Shangguan Xiao's expression also became serious:

"What are your thoughts?"

Li Fei looked at her:

"The Chief's faction and the Tiger Blade Gang joining forces is ultimately because neither side can do anything to the other for the time being, and they just happen to have a reason to join forces and act consistently to annex other forces. But if the balance between the two sides is broken, they may not necessarily continue to join forces."

"Hmm, so you want to kill Zhang Mingze?"

Shangguan Xiao asked.

Li Fei smiled.

He discovered that this martial aunt of his was indeed very formidable, and not just in terms of personal strength.

"The Tiger Blade Gang deliberately released the news, proclaiming with great fanfare that Zhang Mingze will be released from prison tomorrow, innocent. First, it's to boost their prestige; after all, quite a few of their people were just killed by me, and if they don't show something, others will suspect that the Tiger Blade Gang is failing. Second, it's to lure me into making a move; there is no better way to respond than to eliminate the Green-Faced Ghost."

Li Fei said, "So if we can kill him tomorrow when Zhang Mingze is released from prison, under the gaze of everyone, first, the Tiger Blade Gang's prestige will suffer a huge blow. Second, without Zhang Mingze as their secretary, the Tiger Blade Gang will be like losing both wings!"

Shangguan Xiao nodded and took over Li Fei's words: "In this way, the Chief's faction will probably have no heart to deal with the Qingyuan Fist Village, but will turn around to deal with the Tiger Blade Gang; after all, the opportunity is rare."

Li Fei: "Perhaps by then, the Chief's faction will even take the initiative to find you, martial aunt, hoping to join forces with you."

Shangguan Xiao smiled and sized up Li Fei:

"Are you really only 17 years old?"

Li Fei was taken aback, not knowing what to say.

Shangguan Xiao didn't dwell on this question either; she asked:

"You want to join forces with me tomorrow to kill Zhang Mingze together; do you have a specific plan?"

"I have a plan."

Li Fei nodded, "But first, I need to confirm a few questions."

Shangguan Xiao: "Ask."

"First, martial aunt, you are a Dao Foundation Realm powerhouse, right?"

"Yes."

"Second, what other Dao Foundation Realm powerhouses are there in Xingcheng? Which side do they belong to?"

"Not to mention your master, there is also the First Venerable of the Zhige Academy, Yan Yichen. He is on the Tiger Blade Gang's side, but he hasn't made a move for so many years, nor has he managed much, spending most of his time in seclusion. Then there is an ancestor of the Chen family who has been in death seclusion, but whether he is dead or has broken through to the Dao Foundation Realm, no one knows. Besides that, there are no Dao Foundation Realm powerhouses in the Xingcheng territory; at least, none that I know of."

Li Fei nodded, suddenly remembering when he was absorbing the steel armor implant, the special lecturer of the Martial Arts Hall, Wang Qitai, brought his granddaughter, Wang Fengqing, to demand the implant. At that time, Wang Fengqing said she had just broken through to the Dao Foundation Realm.

A third-year student at the Martial Arts University was already a Dao Foundation Realm powerhouse, while Xingcheng only had three Dao Foundation Realm powerhouses in total.

Looking at it this way, that Wang Fengqing was probably a peerless genius even within the Martial Arts University, right?

Li Fei thought to himself, becoming even more curious about the Martial Arts University.

"Third question, martial aunt, if you were to face that First Venerable of the Zhige Academy, what are your chances of winning?"

Li Fei continued to ask.

Shangguan Xiao smiled confidently:

"Although I haven't seen that Yan Yichen make a move, I've heard some rumors. It took him nearly ten years to barely absorb the third implant, and since then he has been stumbling in seclusion. For such a Dao Foundation Realm powerhouse, I wouldn't dare say I'm guaranteed to win, but he absolutely cannot do anything to me!"

Li Fei nodded.

It seems the gap between Dao Foundation Realm powerhouses can also be very large.

"Last question, please tell me about the experts of the Qingyuan Fist Village, the Chief's faction, and the Tiger Blade Gang."

Li Fei said.

Shangguan Xiao smiled: "You are quite meticulous; no wonder so many people can't catch the Green-Faced Ghost."

"Martial aunt, you flatter me; I'm just being cautious."

"Caution is good."

Shangguan Xiao then told Li Fei in detail all the intelligence she knew.

After listening to her account, Li Fei finally had a preliminary understanding of the martial arts experts in the entire Xingcheng.

"The student already has a plan."

Li Fei thought about it carefully again, and after confirming there were no omissions, he said to Shangguan Xiao:

"In tomorrow's battle, if Yan Yichen doesn't make a move, we have almost a 100% chance of winning. Even if Yan Yichen makes a move, we have at least a 70% chance of winning!"

"So confident?"

Shangguan Xiao looked at Li Fei with a smile, feeling more and more that her martial brother had a good eye for picking up a good student.

Li Fei nodded: "The student wouldn't dare risk your safety, martial aunt."

In fact, the winning percentage he mentioned didn't even take into account the situation after the Ten Thousand Blood Pearl was upgraded.

Because he didn't know what would happen after the Ten Thousand Blood Pearl was upgraded, and whether it would unlock new Blood Soul Skills?

So if the Ten Thousand Blood Pearl completed its upgrade tomorrow and unlocked Blood Soul Skills, and the Blood Soul Skills were powerful enough, then the winning percentage Li Fei mentioned would be even higher!

"Good, martial aunt believes in you."

Shangguan Xiao said to Li Fei, "Martial aunt is willing to make a move tomorrow, not just for the safety of the Fist Village, but because martial aunt feels that what you are doing is right. Go ahead and do it; martial aunt has your back!"

Li Fei felt a warmth in his heart.

The two had never met before, but just because he was Hao Yi's student, and after this conversation today, the other party was willing to trust him so much and even go on an adventure with him tomorrow; this moved him greatly.

After the argument with Hao Yi that day, Li Fei had already decided to walk his own path from then on.

The path he chose, even if no one supported him, he would walk it firmly.

But now, after meeting Shangguan Xiao, he discovered that being trusted and supported unconditionally was also a rare kind of happiness.

"The student will definitely not fail your trust!"

Li Fei stood up and bowed deeply to Shangguan Xiao.

Seeking monthly tickets.
