Chapter 111: Chapter 99: The Great Way Is Not Walked Alone
The lady in green suddenly made her move without any forewarning, and she was as fast as lightning, and as fierce as thunder!
She was less than ten meters away from Li Fei, and she leaped from the Taishi Chair, arriving before him in the blink of an eye.
She struck towards Li Fei’s chest with one palm, the powerful force of the palm wind causing the hood over Li Fei’s head to fall off, revealing the black mask underneath.
The opponent’s speed was too great, so fast that Li Fei didn’t even have time to draw his sword, nor to dodge; he could only lift his arms and form a cross to block in front of his chest.
The lady in green’s right palm heavily struck Li Fei’s arms.
Li Fei had braced himself for a significant reduction in his Blood Soul, but the thunderous strike became extremely gentle upon contact; the lady in green’s right palm transitioned from extreme motion to extreme stillness, and from palm to claw, she grabbed Li Fei’s arm.
The next second, a powerful force surged through Li Fei’s body like an electric shock.
Li Fei’s entire body tingled, and the Steel Armor Implant beneath his skin felt as though it had been pricked by a needle, becoming agitated once more.
He didn’t have time to calm the Steel Armor Implant within his body; while exerting strength to break free from her grip, he also kicked out with his right leg, sweeping like a hook scythe towards her lower leg.
The lady in green showed a hint of surprise.
Without any guard up and hit by her Lan Gang Force, even a Refining Strength Martial Master would feel as though they were being scraped bone-deep by a steel knife, a heart-piercing pain, and their implants would suffer strong stimulation, becoming uncontrollably agitated.
However, Li Fei didn’t show any signs of abnormality and was able to promptly counterattack.
The lady in green stood still, letting Li Fei’s Hook Scythe Leg kick towards her. Just as it was about to hit her, a semi-transparent whirl of Qi suddenly appeared out of nowhere, shielding her from Li Fei’s leg.
Li Fei had employed ‘Blood Rage’ in this strike, exhausting 5 Blood Souls in one go, powerful enough to bend an iron pillar with one kick, but he was unable to disperse the small whirlwind of Qi and instead his right leg was repelled by a surge of spiral force.
A fierce wind blew within the large hall!
At the same time, a whirl of Qi also appeared in the right hand of the lady in green, which was holding Li Fei’s arm. This time, a tremendous suction force emerged, firmly attaching Li Fei’s arm and even his whole body to her palm, leaving him unable to break free.
Bright lightning began to flicker in the lady in green’s left palm, with dazzling Thunder surrounding her hand.
The Steel Armor Implant inside Li Fei immediately became wildly agitated, sensing immense danger!
This Thunder’s power was definitely much stronger than the Thunder used by Zong Guang in the past!
Just as the lady in green was about to land a palm on him, Li Fei quickly shouted,
“Mistress! Don’t shoot, it’s one of our own!”
The lady in green’s left palm stopped in front of Li Fei’s chest; the Thunder in her palm scorched a large hole in Li Fei’s clothes, revealing his firm pectoral muscles beneath.
The lady in green looked at Li Fei with a surprised expression.
When Li Fei decided to personally visit this place, he had prepared himself for the possibility of revealing his identity, not for any other reason but because the other party was Hao Yi’s junior sister, so he had to help Qingyuan Fist Village deal with this crisis!
He didn’t hold back at the moment and said forthrightly:
“Hao Yi is my teacher.”
At his words, the lady in green blinked, her left hand swept up as if she were using a steel knife, cutting Li Fei’s mask on his face just right, without harming his skin in the slightest.
Such control over her strength truly astounded Li Fei.
The lady in green closely examined Li Fei’s face, then released his arm and stepped back several paces:
“Student Li Fei, at your service, Mistress!”
Li Fei also took a step back, bowing respectfully to the lady in green.
The lady in green, who had appeared so calm and collected, now showed a hint of shyness upon hearing his words and quickly said,
“I am not your mistress, Hao Yi is my senior brother, I am your senior aunt. My name is Shangguan Xiao.”
Li Fei looked up at his senior aunt before him.
Actually, he had not been clear about her identity initially; it was only out of a desire to find an ally that he had Liu San reach out to the Big Leader of Qingyuan Fist Village.
If she agreed to team up, that would be best; if not, then so be it—he definitely wouldn’t personally take the risk of venturing into Qingyuan Fist Village.
However, after connecting the phone call and hearing the voice on the other end of the line, Li Fei was stunned.
He had coincidentally overheard a phone call between Hao Yi and an ‘old friend,’ in which the caller addressed Hao Yi as ‘senior brother,’ and ended the call with ‘you old ghost,’ so Li Fei recognized Shangguan Xiao’s voice.
The voice on the other end of the current call was exactly the same as the one before, leading to Li Fei’s subsequent probing.
After some testing, Li Fei was more or less certain about the identity of the Big Leader of Qingyuan Fist Village—
Indeed, she was his mistress, no, his senior aunt.
Which is why he had dared to come to Qingyuan Fist Village to meet her in person.
“Your teacher actually mentioned me to you?”
Shangguan Xiao asked curiously.
Li Fei sheepishly replied,
“My teacher didn’t mention it, I overheard your phone call by accident. I was inexcusably impertinent, please forgive me, Mistress.”
After speaking, he bowed again.
Shangguan Xiao was startled, looking even more embarrassed,
“Oh my, you child, I’ve already said I’m not your mistress.”
Though she said that, Li Fei could clearly see the smile on her face, unable to keep the corners of her mouth from turning up.
Thus, Li Fei continued to ask:
“Mistress…Senior Aunt, you know about me too?”
Shangguan Xiao’s smile grew wider:
“As a student of my senior brother, I naturally take an interest. I also know about the great deeds you’ve accomplished, such as being personally received by the Chief, and recently capturing the impostor Green-faced Ghost. Ha, it turns out you are the Green-faced Ghost; your teacher probably doesn’t know, does he?”
