Chapter 1616 - 1615: Defeated by a Newcomer
Yes, the wall that turned from invisible to visible reached Li Qi, and Li Qi dissolved it directly. Without saying a word, he just slightly exerted his arms, and the Immortal Energy City Wall collapsed instantly. Later on, even Liu Da was almost conquered by this perverse Innate Divine Strength.If I'd known Li Qi was so interesting, he should have let Li Qi and Cha Xiangzi compete first. After seeing Cha Xiangzi suffer, he would challenge Li Qi again. Now that he had already fought Li Qi, he knew Li Qi's strength better than Cha Xiangzi did. The bystander Cha Xiangzi wasn't stupid; knowing that sparring with Li Qi was like kicking an iron plate for fun, Cha Xiangzi wasn't naive.
"You do have strength; you didn't disappoint me,"
Liu Da wiped off the blood he accidentally coughed up after the Immortal Energy Wall backlash and his expression became even more serious than before. Whereas he had some flashy moves earlier, he didn't plan to perform any further; the actions he took out were the real deal.
Liu Da attacked, Li Qi countered; Li Qi attacked, Liu Da used Immortal Energy Protection. Unfortunately, each time Liu Da struck, Li Qi easily deflected Liu Da's moves; every time Li Qi attacked, Liu Da had a preemptive defense plan, yet he still got hit by Li Qi. His Immortal Energy Protection was nothing before Innate Divine Strength.
"Hahaha, Liu Da, look at you. I told you I should fight him, but you insisted on snatching him from me. Now you're suffering, hitting the iron plate, right?"
Cha Xiangzi gloated. In the past, getting kills stolen always made Liu Da shine, except this time he stumbled against Li Qi.
Cha Xiangzi wished he could go buy a bunch of firecrackers to celebrate.
"You all saw it, right? In the past, it was fine when Liu Da stole my kills. Today, he stole a kill and faced a Waterloo. Fortunately, I recorded this wonderful scene from the start using the recording feature of Illusion City. Just recently, I got a membership that allows video editing; I'll figure out how to cut the most exciting parts and upload them for everyone to see. We can all have a good laugh."
Liu Dacai was humiliated by Li Qi, seeing his old rival Cha Xiangzi making fun on the side, and even saying he would share the embarrassing video!
Heaven knows what insane things Cha Xiangzi will do next now that he's finally caught a handle on Liu Da!
"Cha Xiangzi, you shameless old man, if you've got guts, you come fight him. Aren't you quite capable?"
At this moment, Liu Da's biggest aim was to provoke him with words, hoping Cha Xiangzi would also suffer losses, and then he'd do like Cha Xiangzi and record the events.
Sadly, no matter how loud his abacus clacks, his opponent isn't falling for it. As dumb as Cha Xiangzi may be, his intelligence is still intact.
"No, I never bully the weak. Knowing he's just fought with you, it's highly unfair to keep taking turns fighting him. Since your showdown is done, let those other brothers practice—the place is theirs now."
Cha Xiangzi stood on the highest moral ground with everything he said, responding to Liu Da impeccably.
"Cha Xiangzi, I've found that the older you get, the more shameless you become!"
Liu Da clenched his fists in anger. The rage that couldn't be vented on Li Qi, he wanted to unleash it all on Cha Xiangzi.
But does anger solve the problem? No!
He felt a surge of old blood stuck in his throat, nearly suffocating himself.
"I'm still pretty respectable. At least when you stole my kill, I was generous enough to give it up directly. Otherwise, we wouldn't have seen such a wonderful show. Lao Liu, you're simply a paragon of the industry. When the boss comes back, I must ask him to reward you generously."
Seeing that the conversation was settling, Cha Xiangzi wasn't eager to continue. If he pushed any further, Liu Da might really turn his back on him. He wasn't Liu Da's match, and with so many people watching, he wouldn't know how to step down if Liu Da challenged him.
Li Qi noticed that the match wasn't over, yet Liu Da stopped. He startlingly asked, "Liu Da, sir, um, are we having a match, or is it over?"
It's obvious Liu Da doesn't want to fight anymore, can Li Qi really not see it?
"No more, no more. I have other engagements later; I'm running out of time. I'll set up a match when I'm not busy!"
After saying that, Liu Da put his hands behind his back and swaggered off the training ground.
Only when Liu Da's figure was out of sight did the people behind start squatting and clutching their stomachs in laughter: "Hahaha, never thought today would come for me too! Finally, I saw Liu Da stumble. It's such a relief, and I feel fantastic!"
Cha Xiangzi made arrangements for someone to escort Li Qi first; he found a secluded spot and concentrated on editing the video footage.
Tang Rao had absolutely no idea what transpired at the Kao Shan Sect after he left it.
He went to Yan Wei and asked him to mark all the places Yan Lin had recently appeared, using a city map format, conveniently circling any places he ruined in red.
This task was quite sizeable. Yan Wei did the mapping while Tang Rao searched for Yan Lin's traces in Illusion City.
Yan Wei gave him several suspicious spots, but each was a bit far from the other spots. Running down one by one alone didn't give him enough time.
He was short-handed, but there were plenty of people in Illusion City. Tang Rao only needed to divide up the spots and assign people from the Kao Shan Sect nearby to search.
Tang Rao instructed them that upon discovering the person, they should report immediately and run away upon sight.
This greatly shortened the search time. When Yan Wei and Tang Rao split up, examining whether Yan Lin appeared between shops to continue his destruction or was hiding in his old lair, Yan Wei's side had a reaction first.
"Tang Rao, look, the person you're looking for indeed showed up, and this time, the damage to the shops is greater than last time."
Since the advent of Illusion City and the Heavenly Net across North Island, Tang Rao could know everything happening there in great detail.
Yan Wei simply delivered the Heavenly Net's footage to Tang Rao, who quickly pinpointed Yan Lin's whereabouts.
Thankfully, the location wasn't too far away; rushing over there now, Yan Lin wouldn't be able to cause much more damage.
"Yan Wei, keep an eye on him for me. I have a feeling there's something strange about this guy. He didn't seem strong before, but how's he destroying so many things without getting caught or hurt? There's no match for him on North Island. Keep watch before I arrive and let me know the specific reasons."
Yan Wei nodded; he never once refused when it came to Tang Rao's matters.
