Chapter 778: Chapter 816: The Deterrence of the Golden Eagle

Fog Island!

This small island is shrouded in fog all year round, extremely desolate. Apart from some shrubs, it doesn’t have any large trees, and the island itself is also very small, with an area of less than two square kilometers. Besides a few oddly shaped stone pillars, the entire island seems flat; you can see from one side to the other, making an ambush here absolutely impossible.

This is the island where Li Yifei agreed to the duel. At this moment, Li Yifei is in the center of the island, with a pile of fire in front of him and two fish roasting on it. The fish are almost done, he’s carefully applying seasoning to them. The seasoning and fish, grilled by the fire, are aromatic and filling the air with fragrance.

On the eastern side of Fog Island, there are more than a dozen people sitting together at this time, each with a stern look, always keeping an eye on Li Yifei’s surroundings. From them, one can sense a dense killing intent; everyone here has blood on their hands. Ordinary people might not recognize their names, but in the dark circles of international forces, they are well known.

A not-so-tall Japanese is eyeing Li Yifei and says to a black man, "Tuotai, Golden Eagle is all by himself, and you let him kill your boss. Don’t you want to settle the scores now?"

Although the black man appeared rough on the outside, he was quite shrewd. He snorted coldly and said, "Koben, why don’t you make a move? Your Yamaguchi Group has plenty of experts, and those you brought here are also top-notch. Golden Eagle is no match for your Yamaguchi Group. This kind of opportunity should be left to you guys."

Koben chuckled and said, "I think more and more top fighters will come. It basically has nothing to do with our Yamaguchi Group. We are just here to witness an event and to see who will be the demise of Golden Eagle."

These people had been there for more than half a day. When they arrived, Li Yifei was already on the island and moreover, alone. This was puzzling to everyone. They thought that since Li Yifei had issued a challenge, he definitely wouldn’t come alone. But now, with no help appearing, it meant there were ambushes around, so they didn’t dare to act at the moment. They were all thinking of letting someone else probe Li Yifei first.

Even if Golden Eagle was alone, his formidable strength made everyone wary. In this clear dawn, it was not possible to launch a sneak attack. To kill Li Yifei, one would need to use real skills in a fair fight. The cost of trying to slay Golden Eagle would not be small, and if someone could drain Li Yifei’s energy first, or injure him, then they could take advantage of the situation.

Unfortunately, as more and more people arrived, everyone had the same thought in mind, each trying to nudge the others, wanting someone else to make the first move. Yet no one was willing to act first, so for now, all they could do was watch Li Yifei leisurely roasting his fish.

"The flavor is really good, isn’t it." A hearty voice came from the side of the island, and within half a minute, the man had already arrived in front of Li Yifei, reaching for one of the roasted fish.

Li Yifei flicked his wrist, and the roasted fish bounced upward, avoiding the man’s grab. The man’s palm moved upwards, reaching for the fish again, but the fish, as if alive, flew directly toward Li Yifei instead.

"Damn, you little brat. I’ve come all this way, and you won’t even give me a fish to eat?" The man shouted in frustration after failing to grab the fish several times.

Li Yifei laughed heartily and passed one of the fish to the man, then picked up the other and started eating.

The man sat across from Li Yifei, a thirty-five or thirty-six-year-old with a square face, bushy brows, and large eyes, looking very imposing. The moment he opened his mouth, he bit off a chunk of fish, chewed a few times, and swallowed it, bones and all.

"Ninth Brother, aren’t you afraid of choking on a fishbone?" Li Yifei was lazily picking at the fish meat, his face beaming with a radiant smile.

The man glared and retorted, "Afraid of a little fishbone? It’s you, you big thorn, who’s been bothering me. I was enjoying my life, and you made me haul all the way here to help you." He then took another bite of fish.

Li Yifei laughed and said, "How come you’re the only one here? I thought a few more would show up."

The man was none other than Shen Tianfang, the previous Head Eagle of the Flying Hawk Squad. He shot a fierce glance at Li Yifei and said with boundless vigor, "Do we need that many people? If the two of us can’t handle it, then our Flying Hawk Squad really should be disbanded."

Li Yifei also laughed, then shook his head and said, "I wanted to live a quiet life, but these people just had to look for trouble with me, not letting me live in peace. Since some don’t want to let me go, I’ll fight it out with them. After all, I have nothing to lose now, no need to consider any mission, nor to worry about affecting the country. It’s more satisfying to act freely."

Shen Tianfang slapped Li Yifei’s shoulder and said loudly, "Right, that’s the spirit! I haven’t had a good fight with anyone in years. This time, I’m going to have a real good time taking some people down."

The two of them spoke without any scruples, utterly disregarding the experts who had come from around the island, treating them as if they were air.

"Who is that person?" Tuotai frowned as he stared at Shen Tianfang, feeling that Shen was definitely an expert, yet he couldn’t recognize who he was.

Xiao Ben looked closely at Shen Tianfang, and suddenly his expression changed. He said, "He should be the Head Eagle from the previous Flying Hawk Squad, known by the nickname ’Mad Hawk’."

"Mad Hawk!" Everyone gasped in surprise.

Golden Eagle Li Yifei, when he was in charge of the Flying Hawk Squad, was feared not just for his strong combat capabilities but for his calmness. No matter the situation, Golden Eagle could always remain incredibly rational with a clear mind. That’s why, under Li Yifei’s leadership as Head Eagle, the Flying Hawk Squad made rare mistakes and saw the least number of casualties.

The guy known as ’Mad Hawk,’ on the other hand, was famous for his insanity, not in the sense that he went crazy and lost his rationality during missions, but because in combat, he feared no injuries. The more he got hurt, the more it would stimulate his combat power. Moreover, this guy’s strength was extremely formidable. In his era, the name ’Mad Hawk’ could definitely rank in the top ten in the world. With Mad Hawk now assisting Li Yifei, dealing with them just became even more difficult.

In other places, Golden Eagle’s cold intellect and strong capabilities were certainly the hardest to contend with, but in such an open area where one could only rely on true skill, Mad Hawk was even more fearsome.

When Li Yifei was alone here, no one already wanted to make the first move. Now that Mad Hawk was here too, it made everyone even more hesitant, and they all seemed even more subdued.

Today was the third day, and no one dared to approach due to the deterrence of Li Yifei and Mad Hawk Shen Tianfang. Unexpectedly, Li Yifei even brought out a case of white spirit from under a pillar and started drinking with Shen Tianfang.

The two of them drank merrily, continuing until the sun set, and then both of them simply fell asleep.

This caused everyone to widen their eyes in disbelief. Golden Eagle and Mad Hawk were way too confident, weren’t they? Didn’t they realize that sleeping here was like putting their lives in the hands of others?

But nobody acted immediately. They just watched Li Yifei and Shen Tianfang, and after more than an hour, listening to their snores, finally, two people couldn’t resist anymore. For martial artists of their caliber, this was an outright insult. If they couldn’t bring themselves to act now, it would become a lifelong inner demon. Not only would their skills never improve, but they might also regress dramatically.

The two were assassination experts, and in this darkness, conditions favored them. They were like ghosts drifting through the air, inching closer and closer to Li Yifei and Shen Tianfang.

Everyone stared intently at the two men. Although only faint starlight lit the sky and the island was extremely dark, they all had excellent vision and had been staring in the dark for so long that their eyes had already adjusted, allowing them to vaguely see the two men’s movements.

Finally... the two were only a few meters away from Li Yifei and Shen Tianfang, moving with even greater caution, inching forward only after a long while. All the while, Li Yifei and Shen Tianfang seemed to be sound asleep, seemingly completely unaware of the two approaching them.

The two inched forward a bit more, now only two meters away from Li Yifei and Shen Tianfang. At this distance, it was the optimum range for attack, which made everyone’s hearts rise to their throats. Despite being experts themselves, the renown of Golden Eagle and Mad Hawk was still nerve-wracking.

At that moment, everyone’s hearts were racing faster than usual, and they even halted their breathing, just waiting for that instant when the two would strike.

The moment came when the two suddenly burst into motion, their silhouettes surging forward as their daggers, like bolts of lightning, aimed simultaneously at Li Yifei’s vitals. Their target was Golden Eagle because once they killed Golden Eagle, the mission would be complete, and with one down, everyone else’s courage would swell. Even if Mad Hawk was still strong, he would be less daunting.

The crowd held their breath even tighter, their eyes wide open, fearing they would miss the most thrilling moment if they blinked.

"Agh!" A cry of pain erupted, no, it should be two cries of pain, almost simultaneous, making it sound initially like it came from one person.

Following the cries, two shadows were flung into the air, did several somersaults, and then crashed heavily to the ground, after which there was silence. Meanwhile, the snoring of Li Yifei and Shen Tianfang continued as usual. It was clear that the two attackers had been killed by Li Yifei and Shen Tianfang.
