Chapter 903: Chapter 944: Forcing Out the True Strength

Li Yifei really hadn’t expected to encounter this person here, because he was none other than Xiao Hongyuan, the fourth captain of the Flying Hawk Squad, and everyone belonged to the Phantom Squad. He never imagined that Xiao Hongyuan would turn out to be a member of the Xiao Family.

"Golden Eagle, long time no see." Xiao Hongyuan stood up with a smile, hands clasped behind his back. Approaching sixty years of age, he now sported a white beard. Coupled with his ethereal presence, he had quite the air of an immortal.

"Fourth Brother, it’s great to see you! I really didn’t expect to meet you here." Although surprised, Li Yifei still greeted Xiao Hongyuan with great respect.

Xiao Hongyuan nodded, his eyes crinkling with mirth as he said, "Today, I am here on behalf of the Xiao Family. If you want to take our Xiao Family’s daughter away, you must beat us."

Li Yifei laughed heartily and replied, "Alright! It’s been a while since I’ve had a match with Fourth Brother. Let’s have a good spar."

"And don’t forget about me." Another hearty voice came from behind.

Li Yifei turned abruptly, his eyes almost popping out in shock as he grinned, "Seventh Brother, you’re here too..."

The man was in his forties, burly and tall. In one stride, he covered about three or four meters. Without taking three steps, he was already in front of Li Yifei, punching him in the shoulder, "Not bad. Don’t forget, I’m also a Zheng."

Li Yifei laughed again and said, "So you’ve been hiding really deep, eh? Alright, Seventh Brother, shall we have a fight first?"

Seventh Brother, named Zheng Feihu, was also a captain in the Flying Hawk Squad. He let out a laugh and replied, "The fight is inevitable, but it won’t just be you and me."

"What? Seventh Brother, you can’t be serious?" Li Yifei’s eyes widened.

Xiao Hongyuan gave a slight chuckle and said, "That’s right, we’re going to join forces against you."

Li Yifei whipped his head around and protested, "Third Brother, that’s not fair. If two of you gang up on me, you’ll beat me to a pulp!"

Xiao Hongyuan squinted his eyes and said, "You little rascal, Little Jiu told us that you’ve been hiding your real strength in the past. It seems like you’ve been saving face for us all along. This time, Little Seven and I really want to see what you’re made of."

Li Yifei made a face and complained, "Ninth Brother is too wicked, pushing me into the fire pit like this."

"Kid, you’ve been putting on an act in front of us for too long. Today, I’m going to expose your true capability," Zheng Feihu said. Without further ado, his robust body surged towards Li Yifei like a tank.

Zheng Feihu threw no punches or kicks. It seemed he was just aiming to slam his body into Li Yifei, but Li Yifei knew Zheng Feihu well. This was Zheng Feihu’s strongest form of attack. At this moment, his whole body became a weapon. If Li Yifei didn’t handle it well, he was going to be overwhelmed by the onslaught.

"You’re too ruthless, Seventh Brother!" Li Yifei shouted, his body drifting backward to evade.

"Be careful." Xiao Hongyuan’s voice came from behind, casual yet precise, as he extended a finger, the faintly glinting nail aiming for Li Yifei’s back.

"Third Brother, you..." Li Yifei yelled, as he braced his arm to meet Xiao Hongyuan’s advance.

Xiao Hongyuan and Zheng Feihu, as captains of the Flying Hawk Squad and members of the Phantom Squad—the country’s strongest and most mysterious organization—possessed tremendous strength. Over the years, although they had receded from the limelight, their skills had not diminished in the slightest. In fact, having no missions to occupy them, they were able to devote themselves to studying martial arts, which significantly increased their prowess.

When these two joined forces, their power was amplified tremendously. Even though Li Yifei was incredibly strong, he was caught off guard and overwhelmed by their coordinated attack, complaining bitterly as he fumbled to defend himself.

"Third Brother, Seventh Brother, this isn’t fair. You two against me... Won’t this be the death of me?"

"Hey, hey, go easy on me."

Zheng Feihu laughed heartily and said, "Kid, stop pretending and show us your real skills. We won’t hold back." His shoulder met Li Yifei’s fist, sending Li Yifei stumbling back. Zheng Feihu’s body, toughened by horizontal training, was practically a weapon itself.

Xiao Hongyuan’s tone remained calm and unhurried. "We represent the Xiao and Zheng families, and we definitely won’t show mercy. If you still intend to hold back, then those two girls will just have to marry someone else." Yet, his attacks were anything but slow,

Li Yifei hadn’t seen the two for quite some time. The last time they sparred, he had held back since they were good brothers and he couldn’t bring himself to be ruthless. But had his brothers ever really gone all out against him?

Now it was two against one, and both were using their real skills. Even if Li Yifei wanted to go easy, it was out of the question. At first, he could still exchange taunts with them, but as the pressure mounted, he could no longer afford even the slightest distraction, focusing solely on contending with them.

Against opponents far beneath his skill level, Li Yifei was composed and effortless, but facing these two now, his adversaries were exceptionally strong—top-notch experts. Even though they might be slightly weaker than that freak Satan, they were certainly not significantly so. Together, they might even match Satan’s strength, and under such tremendous pressure, Li Yifei’s true capabilities were being forced out.

The stronger Li Yifei was, the greater the pressure he faced. Initially, Xiao Hongyuan and Zheng Feihu hadn’t gone all out, but sensing Li Yifei’s defense closing up and his counterattacks growing more potent, they felt an increasing pressure too, drawing out their full strength.

This was a battle unlike any they had experienced before. There were no stakes this time; from Zheng Feihu and Xiao Mingyuan’s point of view, they had to consider their families’ interests. To ally with Li Yifei would be even more to their liking. Under normal circumstances, they could just go through the motions, allowing Li Yifei to win and take Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling away.

However, having heard from Little Jiu that Li Yifei had hidden his strength, they were curious to see just how strong he really was, hence they joined forces to push Li Yifei to reveal his true power.

Their original plan was to back off once they had pushed him, but once they truly engaged, excitement overwhelmed them. To fight such a powerful opponent with abandon was undoubtedly a fortunate pleasure in a martial artist’s life.

So as they fought, both slowly forgot their initial purpose, their minds cleared of anything but defense and attack—this was all that mattered.

Li Yifei was no different; at that moment, he didn’t care why he was fighting them. All his movements were driven by instinct.

The two who had initially engaged Li Yifei were now standing five meters back. They were also experts in their respective families and quite proud. They had thought it would be an easy matter to defeat Li Yifei with their skills.

But they now realized how far they were outclassed by Li Yifei. The gusts from the battle of the three were so intense they couldn’t get close and had to watch from a distance. One could only imagine the enormous pressure those in the center of the fight must be under.

This was a rare opportunity—to witness such a high-level duel was an incredible fortune. So both onlookers watched intently, not wanting to miss a beat.

However, the movements of these masters were too swift. As they watched each move, they had to think about how they would respond in such circumstances while simultaneously contemplating the opponent’s actions, so there wasn’t much they could actually remember. Yet, even this brief exposure was greatly beneficial, and their skills were significantly honed from the experience.

The fight grew fiercer. Whenever Zheng Feihu made a move, he would let out a loud yell. His clothes were torn to shreds by his own power, exposing his bronzed skin drenched in sweat, a sight made more imposing as much of the sweat instantly vaporized into steam.

Xiao Hongyuan’s face became redder, his palms seemed two sizes larger than usual, now glowing with a vibrant red. With each movement of his hands, they made a sound as sharp as a blade cutting through the air.

Li Yifei knew these were their most powerful techniques. Especially Xiao Hongyuan’s Bloody Palm was devastatingly forceful—if it hit, one wouldn’t die but would suffer severe injuries. This knowledge sharpened Li Yifei’s alertness and compelled him to use all his strength.

At this point, all three were using their full might. Any lapse could cause grievous injury or even death, but none of them thought of that now. At this level of skill, the pursuit of martial mastery often made one forget life and death.

The struggle continued unknowingly for over ten minutes, causing great anxiety among the onlookers. Especially with Zheng Feihu’s roaring—it was obvious to even the layperson that the battle had reached a fever pitch.

Fourth Master Xiao and Fifth Master of the Zheng Family looked rather odd. They saw their family’s champions as immeasurably strong; either could match Li Yifei alone. But seeing the current situation, where it seemed to be a siege, was quite surprising. What was even more peculiar was that the fight wasn’t being resolved quickly. Just how strong exactly was Li Yifei?

If Li Yifei were truly that powerful, then the alliance through marriage with him would greatly benefit the Xiao and Zheng families. A person of such martial might could have an immeasurable impact, and that didn’t even include the cooperation with the Su Family.
