Chapter 966 - 1007: Dangerous Venture into the Sea
Li Yifei, facing three skilled ninjas and the harassment of another with ninja darts, had engaged in battle with these adversaries for so long, showcasing the gap between his abilities and theirs. Now, with only two remaining and the harasser, Li Yifei gained the upper hand. He abandoned his defensive strategy, launching a fierce attack on the two around him.
The two adversaries were repeatedly forced back, their harassment unable to hinder Li Yifei’s onslaught.
With a thud, a ninja was struck in the chest by Li Yifei’s fist. Alongside the sound of flesh being hit, there was the noise of breaking bones. The ninja’s body didn’t fly away but collapsed slowly to the ground. It was clear he would not live, as broken ribs had pierced his lungs. All he could do was open his mouth wide, desperately trying to take in a few more breaths.
Without pausing for a moment, as another swung his sword at him, Li Yifei charged into his embrace. For a master like Li Yifei, every part of the body was a weapon. The ninja was hit in the chest so hard by Li Yifei’s charge that it was as if he had been struck by a speeding heavy truck, sending him flying several meters before he hit the ground, lifeless.
That left only the last, injured ninja. He was already at some distance from Li Yifei and, seeing the situation, threw a smoke bomb to the ground in hopes of escaping under the cover of obscured vision.
However, a glint of cold light cut through the smoke. A stifled grunt came from within, and as the smoke cleared, a ninja was seen standing with a ninja sword piercing from his front chest to his back. Then, he slowly fell to the ground.
Li Yifei had killed four ninjas, relying on close combat and not utilizing the most energy-efficient and lethal Flying Needles.
Li Yifei’s prowess with the Flying Needles was well known; few in the world were unaware. Employing the Flying Needles would have made it obvious that he was behind this, potentially causing disputes between nations.
