Chapter 260: Chapter 237: Aerial Acrobat

That night, facing the attack of Sword Master Watanabe Ryosuke, Li San risked throwing the dagger in his hand to prevent Wu from being injured, an action that earned Wu’s approval of Li San.

Afterward, the two coordinated seamlessly and repelled Watanabe Ryosuke, simultaneously developing a mutual desire to befriend each other.

Later on, after an exchange in which each won a round, a mutual admiration emerged—their kindred spirits recognized.

Had Li San not considered Wu a friend, he would not have given his cherished short knife to Wu.

Moreover, Wu not only accepted the short knife but also unhesitatingly asked for a long spear, for he too had come to regard Li San as a friend.

For the sake of someone unrelated, Wu was willing to go the extra mile, let alone for a friend?

Had Wu been sure that Li San was in that building, he would have checked even without Li Li’s call.

Wu ran forward and soon reached the crossroads.

Intense gunfire echoed in his ears, clearly from many people shooting.

Wu arrived at the entrance of a shopping mall at the crossroads and looked to the front left.

He saw two groups fiercely exchanging fire, one group wearing hoods—the same criminals as before. They were on the right side of the street, while the left side housed another group.

Both sides took cover in various shops, occasionally popping out to shoot.

Clearly, the group on the left side of the street tried to advance but were repelled several times by the criminals on the right.

Wu carefully observed the situation. The criminals on the right could turn their guns to block the entrance of the building. Entering would be challenging.

Looking up at the rope connecting the two buildings, Wu got an idea.

He took out his phone and called Chen Gang. The call quickly connected.

"Wu, are you okay?"

"I’m fine, what about you?"

"I’m on the third floor of the commercial building on the left, hiding. Do you want to come over?"

"No, where did you put the stuff I asked you to keep?"

"What are you planning to do?"

"Nothing, just asking."

"Bullshit. I know you. Don’t do anything rash."

"Don’t worry, I won’t mess around. Just tell me where you put the stuff."

"..."

Chen Gang reluctantly hung up, finally telling Wu where the items were.

His instincts told him that Wu was up to something again.

Having spent so much time with Wu and experienced so much together, Chen Gang fully understood what Wu meant when he said he wouldn’t mess around—it actually meant he would assess the situation and act accordingly.

And Wu’s character was such that while assessing, he would eventually jump into action...

Yet it wasn’t a brainless charge but a clear-headed understanding of the risks, still choosing to proceed with determination.

Such a person sometimes seemed foolish to Chen Gang, yet he couldn’t help but deeply admire him.

"Ah, I hope nothing goes wrong this time," Chen Gang could only pray.

Meanwhile, Wu turned and crouched near the corner, where various items laid: cameras, makeup boxes, clothing, protective equipment... previously, Danny and others had prepared here for a live broadcast.

Wu searched through the clutter and found the item he needed—a long, black cloth bag.

He pulled out a long wooden box from the bag containing two pieces of a gun—it was the very one Wu had taken from Li San’s collection room.

Wu had asked Li San for this gun to carry with him just in case, before going into a real combat match. He had left the gun-carrying bag with Chen Gang for safekeeping since Chen Gang and the Seeking Martial Arts crew had also prepared at this location beforehand.

Wu took the two gun sections from the box, placed them in the bag, then tightened the bag and slung it diagonally across his back.

With two short knives in his hands, Wu glanced at the bullet and gunfire-filled scene across the street. Without much hesitation, he rushed over!

On the right side of the street, the hooded criminals were spread out, exchanging fire with the enemy on the left front. They could easily shoot toward the building where Li San was. Anyone trying to enter would face significant danger, so instead of heading to the building on the left, Wu charged toward the building on the right.

There were only four criminals at the entrance of the building. To enter, Wu only needed to confront these four.

As Wu crossed the intersection, about twenty meters from the building on the right, one of the criminals on the steps noticed him.

The man hesitated, shouted, and then shot at Wu.

Wu’s body swayed as he quickly dodged to the left, bending down to continue moving forward.

At that moment, another criminal on the steps turned around and shot at Wu.

Wu Li’s body suddenly lunged forward, his hands pressing against the ground as he quickly stood back up, now only less than ten meters away from the steps.

Seeing that the third thug was about to turn around, Wu Li threw the two short knives he held directly at them.

Both men hurriedly dodged, while Wu Li rushed up the steps and arrived right next to the rightmost thug.

The thug turned around in haste, trying to aim his gun at Wu Li, but Wu Li smacked the rifle out of his hands with a palm strike, then delivered a heavy Top Heart Elbow right into the thug’s chest.

Bang!

The man flew backward, crashing into his accomplice behind him.

By then, the third thug had fully turned around and raised his gun to shoot.

Wu Li stepped forward, crouched to dodge the bullets, then sprang up, grabbing the barrel of the gun and pointing it upwards, and punched the thug in the throat.

The last thug, who had been half-concealed behind the stairs firing towards the street opposite, sensed something amiss. Just as he started to retreat without turning around, Wu Li kicked him in the back of the head, toppling him motionless to the ground.

Having taken care of the four thugs, Wu Li didn’t pause. He picked up the two short knives from the ground and then ran inside the building.

Fearing the elevator might be unsafe, Wu Li opted for the stairs instead.

He bounded up the dozen-or-so steps two at a time, then kicked off the wall to change direction, and continued upwards.

The building had nine floors, and Wu Li took less than twenty seconds to sprint from the first floor to the rooftop, rivaling the speed of the elevator.

The door to the rooftop was open, so Wu Li went straight up.

The rooftop was deserted, and Wu Li immediately noticed three devices at the edge, used for securing ropes.

After ensuring no one else was around, Wu Li approached the edge, from where he could see two broken holes on the seventh floor of the building opposite, with faint gunfire coming through them.

He grabbed one of the ropes, confirmed it was extremely sturdy, took a deep breath, and then stepped out, unbelievably standing directly on the rope!

Normally, this device would be used with a specialized carabiner or ring to secure oneself to the rope before sliding across, but Wu Li had none of these. Believing that using his hands to crawl slowly across would be too slow and unsafe, he ultimately chose this method.

Inside the mall at the crossroads, where the incident occurred, many people were still inside. Through the mall’s floor-to-ceiling windows, they could see the outside scene clearly, so everyone chose to stay inside for safety.

The mall had five floors, with people on the first floor previously driven out by the thugs, while many still hid on the floors two through five.

On the street-facing side, through the clear floor-to-ceiling windows, people could see what was happening outside.

"Mommy, look!"

On the fifth floor of the mall, a blonde-haired, blue-eyed little girl suddenly pointed outside the window and shouted.

Her mother was filming the fierce gunfight in the street with her phone, but upon hearing her daughter, she looked up and her eyes widened.

"OH my God!"

There, between two buildings in midair, a man was running fast.

Indeed, running.

"Mommy, is he Superman?" the little girl asked her mother.

While recording the scene with her phone, her mother replied, "No, he has a rope under his feet, but still, this is unbelievable!"

Through the glass window, one could vaguely see a thin rope under the man’s feet, which at a quick glance, made it seem as if he was flying through the air.

The little girl’s words drew the attention of many around her, and exclamations of surprise ensued. More and more people noticed the spectacle in midair, amazed and recording it with their phones.

Undoubtedly, the man in the air was Wu Li.

In the United States, there is a movie called "Cloud Walking," with the most thrilling scene being the protagonist holding a pole for balance while tightrope walking between the World Trade Center Twin Towers in New York.

That was hundreds of meters high in the air, with the protagonist appearing as if walking amidst the clouds.

Though Wu Li wasn’t as high up, his speed was astonishingly unbelievable.

In both movies and reality, walking a tightrope at high altitudes is usually slow because great care is taken to maintain balance—one rarely sees someone actually running on a tightrope.

Such an act seemed utterly suicidal, yet Wu Li was not only fast but also stable.

With his Master Level Martial Arts Cultivation, his control over his body exceeded that of the world’s finest acrobats, and he had reached the Realm of Mercury-like Center of Gravity, able to freely control and shift his body’s center of gravity, which made the scenario appear perilous yet was actually very stable.

Approximately a hundred people in the mall witnessed Wu Li running in the air, and quickly spread photos and videos online, sparking a massive discussion.

Today, over a million viewers in the United States were watching a live UFC fight broadcast, which due to the unforeseen incident, quickly surpassed two million views and was still increasing.

However, UFC only had cameras installed on Rune Street, so when Wu Li crossed the intersection to another street, the live viewers couldn’t see him.

As the viewers grew anxious and curious about what was happening there, someone quickly spotted online photos and videos of Wu Li running in midair and immediately recognized him.

Thus, the live stream’s chat exploded with discussions about the incident.

Twenty-plus meters high, in the eyes of millions, Wu Li showed the American people what it meant to be a man flying through the air!
