The illusory crow landed on the branch, the ripples twisted, and gradually turned into a human shape.
A hundred meters behind the four people, in the woods, a young man in a black jacket and sprint jacket stood there with a cold expression, looking down at the farce in front of him.
The ice-blue pendant dangled in her hair. Li Li held onto the trunk of the tree, pretending to be indifferent despite her excitement.
"Heige, giving up your supernatural powers and fighting me with only physical skills is a wrong decision, but I like your spirit of speaking with your fists!" The strange strong man has black hair, well-developed muscles and chest muscles, but his waist and abdomen are unexpectedly slender. When he clenched his fists to make an attacking gesture, the muscles of his entire arm were tense. He was wearing a loose dark red martial arts uniform. "My name is Yan Changxiao, an unknown person. It is a great honor to fight with you."
He seemed to have completely misunderstood the reason why Il-ming didn't use illusion, and attributed it to Il-ming wanting to challenge him in physical duel.
"Well, let's keep fighting until one of us goes down!" He threw a fist.
Yiming's eyes became sharp, he gently pushed away Tang who had almost healed him, then his arm turned into metal and he used his forearm to block the powerful punch.
The metal made a sound of deformation and distortion. Yiming gritted his teeth, stepped back with his right foot, turned sideways, and diverted Yan Changxiao's fist to the back, avoiding a full head-on collision.
The baby fat on his face faded away, and his deep blue eyes became calm.
He seemed to have given up futile argument and decided to fight back.
Li Li, who was watching from a distance, thought for a while. Although she had no impression of the man's face, she remembered the name Yan Changxiao.
She remembered hearing about this man from Le Caile.
A famous bounty hunter in the Sitong City Supernatural Guild, known for his love of fighting strong people. If the C-rank Qu Clan member she met was a murderer, then the one they met was a complete battle maniac.
Send out battle invitations to powerful superpowers, become addicted to battle, and will do everything in their power to fight, regardless of life or death.
When Le Caile talked about him, he mentioned that many people didn't want to fight with him because he fought too hard.
She could roughly guess what happened. It was nothing more than An Huyu insisting that Yiming was "Heige", and then Yan Changxiao heard this name, so this conflict occurred.
As the protagonist of a comic, it is normal for Ichimiya to often run into trouble. If there were no troubles, there would be nothing to draw in this comic.
But she remembered that Le Caile said that this person had once challenged Yue Lan, but was rejected by Yue Lan.
This person is most likely Class A.
Li Li narrowed her eyes slightly and thought: This is still a bit difficult for the little Corgi.
Fortunately, Yan Changxiao didn't seem to plan to use his supernatural powers, so Yiming wouldn't be killed instantly if he relied solely on physical skills.
Her eyes swept across An Huyu beside her, and finally stopped at the two people who were fighting with fists.
It seems better for her to stay here for a while.
and...
Li Li thought about it and realized that it seemed like she hadn't appeared in a comic book for some time.
The A-rank Psychic Yan Changxiao's fist brought with it a gust of wind that reached the bushes nearby, completely cutting off the tops of the bushes.
Tang left the center of the battle and took several steps back, coming to the stone pier where An Huyu was hiding.
"Did you do this on purpose?" Tang watched the battle situation nervously, his eyes moving with the changes in Yiming, while questioning An Huyu.
An Huyu, who was hiding behind a stone pillar, did not react: "Ah? What do you mean by intentional?"
"Why do you think Yiming is Haig?" Tang asked pointedly.
An Huyu was a beat slower before saying, "Because he is chasing that person."
He said Baimian, and Tang directly understood it as 'Li'.
Tang Jian laughed out loud: "Just because of this? Can't it be looking for relatives?"
In the battle ahead, Yiming didn't have time to dodge and was hit by Yan Changxiao's punch.
A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.
Looking at the battle situation that could almost be described as being suppressed, An Huyu shrank back.
"...Did I really make a mistake?" He murmured in confusion.
Tang ignored him. She saw Yiming gradually becoming exhausted and realized that if he continued like this, Yiming would be beaten to death.
There is a huge gap between A-tier and C-tier. Even if Yan Changxiao does not use his superpowers and Yiming can use his superpowers to protect himself, the gap between them cannot be made up.
Being hit once is enough to cause fatal damage.
She took a deep breath, found a gap and rushed out. The green halo of her supernatural power was like her beautiful green eyes, circling in the air and approaching the sound in front of her.
It was too far. Tang closed one eye in the strong wind, gritted his teeth, moved forward and stretched out his hand.
At the same time, Yiming was hit by the fist wind and fell back. Tang's hand touched his back, and a warm green halo instantly enveloped him.
The severely damaged internal organs began to recover under the healing power.
"You are indeed a bit weak for an illusionist." Yan Changxiao said, turning his kick that was originally aimed at Yiming, "Don't join the battle casually, little girl. Forget it, I don't fight the old, weak, sick, and those without superpowers."
The A-rank psychic's kick brought up a gust of wind, and the aftermath of the attack alone cut through the stone pillar like a sharp blade.
And the direction he changed casually happened to be behind the stone pillar where An Huyu was!
An Huyu, who was unable to escape, had his eyes wide open. The aftermath had already split the stone pier and reached him!
Thinking of the promise he made to An Heyu, Li Liben, who was watching, was about to take action.
The next moment she stood back quietly as if nothing had happened.
Broken pieces of stone floated in the air under the impact, and blood formed droplets that splashed everywhere.
Like a slow motion camera.
All of this seemed to be reflected in An Huyu's golden eyes.
"cough."
He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The next moment, time returned, and Yiming protected An Huyu and rolled to the side a few times.
The expensive fabrics were stained with dust, and the gravel on the ground scratched the well-maintained skin.
Yiming supported the ground with one hand, his face wrinkled in pain, but he suppressed it.
"Have I caused you any trouble?" An Huyu asked in a low voice while lying on the ground.
"Of course." Yiming supported himself on the ground and slowly half-crouched down.
"You're not Heige?" An Huyu asked again.
"Nonsense, if I were him, you would have died a long time ago, you know that?" Yiming turned around and looked at Yan Changxiao who walked in with a sullen look, "He is a bastard who kills without blinking an eye, don't look for him anymore."
Tang trotted over and continued to treat Yiming. At the same time, her face began to turn pale, which was the price of frequent use of supernatural powers.
She glared at An Huyu fiercely.
Yiming stood up again. He took a deep breath and whispered to Yan Changxiao, as if speaking to himself: "Buyan never taught me hatred. He just told me to protect myself. Hege said that hatred can make me stronger. I hate Hege, but I don't hate him as long as Li is fine."
As he said this, he smiled innocently, like a smiling corgi who only remembers eating and not being beaten.
"I'm going to see him. I'm not going to fall down here." He raised his head and clenched his fists.
His eyes were very determined, as if he had grown from a boy to a young man in just a few weeks.
"Come on," he said.
Yan Changxiao's face, which had lost some interest, regained its spirit. He said in surprise: "Whether you are Haig or not, I like you very much, young man!"
At the same time, his attack was merciless!
Cold sweat broke out on Tang's forehead and her lips turned pale.
She possesses a C-rank healing ability, but it is an inherited ability that she needs to adjust to, and her body also needs to adapt to the powerful ability during the adjustment process.
Right now, she is not yet at the level that a C-rank psychic should be at.
"Let's go! Don't get stuck here!" Tang grabbed An Huyu's hand and tried to drag him away.
But she didn't have much strength and could only pull An Huyu up from where he was lying on the ground to where he was sitting.
The red-haired boy lowered his head, staring blankly at his worn-out pants and his knees that were scratched and left red marks.
"Big brother ignored me both times." He seemed to have suddenly noticed this. "He really ignored me."
Tang didn't know what he was talking about, his eyes were fixed on Yiming.
"I'm really weak. They are right. I'm just a waste." An Huyu buried his head deeply. Drops of water flowed along the corners of his eyes, across his cheeks and dripped onto the expensive fabric. He cried and trembled. "I don't want to trouble my elder brother, but my elder brother doesn't care about me anymore. I can't do anything. You are younger than me, but I can't even compare to you."
Tang was so angry that he suddenly turned his head back, his black hair arcing in the air: "Why don't you do something that won't be a waste! You will always be a waste because of your brother!"
"No one will always be there for you!" she said, her lips trembling. "No one."
An Huyu's trembling shoulders suddenly froze.
The wind from the fists spread all over the flat ground, and occasionally a few of them even reached the tree crown where Li Li was.
She seemed to be in the best VIP seats, watching the drama.
Shounen manga, passion, friendship, adventure, she thought.
A sharp breeze blew past, causing her blue pendant to sway slightly.
A false but beautiful world.
The metal arm was unable to withstand Yan Changxiao's attack, and it retreated step by step, but the determination in its eyes never diminished.
He tried to neutralize Yan Changxiao's punches by putting his arms in front of him and fighting with Yan Changxiao using his own physical skills. He also realized that he could use the opponent's force to counter the opponent's force and overcome the hard with the soft.
"It's a pity for me to meet you at this time." Yan Changxiao said suddenly.
The muscles on his right hand bulged, and veins extended from his arm to his fist.
"You are a rare martial arts genius who can learn moves in battle. If you continue to grow, you will become an enemy that I look up to." He said, and then his fist hit Ichimura's two metal arms fiercely.
"But now, my power can directly destroy your skills!"
Yiming was knocked away, and the huge gust of wind from the fist made him spit out blood again. He retreated in the aftermath, and finally landed on the thick trunk of an ornamental tree.
Yan Changxiao stood up straight, twisted his neck, and walked forward: "Battle is to use blood to forge victory. Unfortunately, I will kill you today."
Li Li on the tree had a cold face and her eyes gradually became sharp.
That's why many people don't want to fight him.
There is only one prerequisite for leaving this person's arena, and that is the death of one party.
Even if he realizes that he has recognized the wrong person, he will continue to fight this misunderstanding until his death.
The shadow of the long sword condensed beside her. She pulled out the dagger tied to her leg and looked at the man below, revealing a hint of murderous intent.
But Yan Changxiao seemed not to notice, walked forward and lifted his feet.
Yiming was holding onto the ground, blood on his forehead, and he slowly raised his head.
Almost instantly, Li Li raised her hand, and Yan Zhangxiao exerted force with his leg muscles, aiming at Yiming's head as if to break his neck.
"I am a person without super powers!"
A figure inserted itself between the two of them.
"You said, you wouldn't kill people without superpowers, right?" An Huyu closed his eyes, sobbing while turning his back to Yan Changxiao, standing here and blocking Yi Ming with his body.
And Yan Changxiao was indeed affected.
His legs stopped abruptly in front of An Huyu's waist, but the residual waves still cut An Huyu's waist. He leaned to the left as if he was about to be driven aside.
His face turned pale, he gritted his teeth, and exerted force on his feet, forcing himself to stay where he was.
"Even though I am weak, I am also a noble and I am proud!" he cried, "If I do something wrong, I will take full responsibility!"
He demonstrated his decision with practical actions!
Yan Changxiao was stunned by this unexpected change.
The scars were spreading. Yiming looked at the boy in front of him whose eyes and nose were all covered with tears and snot. Suddenly, he supported himself on the ground with one hand and passed by An Huyu's side.
His arm turned into a metal long sword. He stepped forward at the moment when Yan Changxiao was stunned, and stabbed the long sword into Yan Changxiao's waist and abdomen from the side.
Then quickly pull it out.
The leaves seemed to be frozen in mid-air, and then fluttered again after the red splash.
At this moment, Yiming said, "The blood has already been drawn." He raised his head and looked at Yan Changxiao with his blue eyes, "Can you accept your victory?"
He was responding to what Yan Changxiao said: "Battle is about forging victory with blood!"
Yiming looked at Yan Changxiao with vigilance, and at the same time firmly protected An Huyu behind him, who was in so much pain that he could only whimper a few times.
The wind seemed to have stopped.
Finally, Yan Changxiao put down his legs.
He took a few steps back, ignoring the wound on his waist and abdomen, and said with a smile: "If you are nitpicking, it is indeed true. You have convinced me."
Yan Changxiao admitted this statement!
"But, young men," he said, pointing at Tang who had rushed over to save them, "What are your names?"
Yiming remained alert: "Yiming."
Tang didn't want to pay attention to this person and didn't say anything, but Yiming called out her name, and An Huyu said her own name while crying.
"I will remember you. When you grow up to my level, we will fight again." He said, turned around and suddenly raised his thumb, "I believe in you."
Then he walked past them and gradually went away.
It seemed as if this inexplicable battle was completely over.
"..." Tang Po's face turned pale, and he turned his head to watch the person walk away, "Who wants your trust?"
And the crying An Huyu: "Really! Really! Am I not such a waste!"
He looked very happy, but as soon as he was happy, his wound started to hurt and he started crying again.
Yiming looked at him for a while, couldn't help but smile, and said, "Thank you for just now."
Hearing this, An Huyu was even happier: "Your name is Yiming, right! I, I was really useful just now, is that right!"
"If you hadn't bought time and attracted that person's attention, I wouldn't have found a chance to hurt him." Yiming said seriously.
Tang snorted and turned his head away: "I still don't like you."
An Huyu was overjoyed: "I don't need you to like it either!"
"Don't anger the wet nurse during the treatment!" Tang's subordinate said viciously.
The friendship between young people is always so pure. Li Li looked at them deeply, and then disappeared into the tree canopy in the direction that Yan Changxiao left.
She felt that Yan Changxiao would not be unaware of the unfriendly signal she sent at the time.
When Li Li was sure that the three people couldn't see her, she chose to leave on foot.
Sure enough, when she arrived at the exit of the small park, she saw Yan Changxiao.
He leaned against the stone pillar of the park fence, his arms folded, highlighting his chest muscles.
"Wait a minute," he began.
Li Li had a blank expression on her face, like a pool of stagnant water without any ripples, and she ignored his words.
But Yan Changxiao turned around and looked over.
"I know you, Li Baige," he said.
Li Li had no intention of talking to him and continued walking out with that icy face that kept people away.
She could almost guess what this person was going to say, but her answer would only be no.
Li Li likes to say no to things she hates.
Yan Changxiao didn't know what Li Li was thinking, so he continued, "He suddenly appeared some time ago and took over almost half of the bounty missions. He is tireless, like a new type of artificial human."
That is the effect of supernatural powers.
"You are the strongest bounty hunter in Sitong City, that's what they all say." Yan Changxiao stated his obvious purpose.
This is a rumor.
Li Li felt that the rumor was getting more and more outrageous, although she didn't mind.
"Li Baige, fight with me." Yan Changxiao said finally.
The black-haired young man in a black hooded sprint jacket walked out at a leisurely pace, as if he had heard nothing. His face was stern, and only the blue pendant was swaying, like the only vitality in the stillness.
It was like a narrow box that sealed off all emotions, and the swaying blue was the lock, the only lock that could open the box.
Yan Changxiao stared at the black-haired young man's profile as he passed by him, and suddenly asked, "You care about that boy?"
He saw the key creak and turn slightly in an arc.
However, the young man, who was as cold as ice and snow, did not stop, but the sudden twitching of his fingertips indicated the trembling in his heart.
It's like a person who is heading towards a dead end without looking back.
Yan Changxiao suddenly thought of what the young man had said in front of him.
As long as Li is fine, does it mean Li Baige?
Li Baige...what on earth does this person want to do?
The boy named Yiming was looking for him, but he was clearly behind him but was unwilling to show up.
Why? Because of worry?
Are you worried about dragging the boy into the vortex you created?
"So that's how it is." Yan smiled and lowered his head, his shoulders shaking.
Then he raised his head again and invited in the most proper manner: "Fight with me, Li Baige."
He didn't know what story this man had, but he knew the faith in his eyes was like burning magma.
"We are all the same people," Yan Changxiao said, "because of a belief, we chose to give up everything else, walked into hell alone and used our lives as firewood to burn."
"I know the look in your eyes. You won't reject me, and I am willing to wait for you, Li Baige." He said, "You won't refuse to become stronger."
Of course no one answered him.
However, Yan Changxiao made the invitation on his own and firmly believed that the person would accept his invitation.
"I'm always welcome."
And Li Li continued to leave.
Sorry, she didn't think it was necessary for a mage like her to fight with a melee fighter to improve herself.
And although she practices physical skills, she is not interested in the flesh-and-flesh fighting style of Yan Changxiao and Yiming.
Welcome to the wrong guy, Mr. Fighting Maniac, she thought absentmindedly.
[Update target detected to have been reached.]
[Opening a channel for you...]
[Welcome back to reality.]
...
Because of the final exams, Li Li began to think it would be great to meet the comic update requirements ahead of time and then not have to go to the comic world for a day or two.
The workload is really heavy.
This time too, after she was so busy that she lost her mind, it was only through her roommate's scream that she found out that the comics had been updated last night.
“Ahhhh my idol!” The roommate howled in the dormitory in the middle of the day, shaking his head and looking like he was going crazy, “Haig and I are mortal enemies!”
Li Li put down the formula sheet in a daze and rubbed her forehead: "It has actually been updated?"
The updated results seem to show that Li Baige did leave the country, but why is Haig involved again?
I hope Haig hasn't caused any trouble recently!
Is it because Yiming took the beating instead of Haig?
Li Li took out her mobile phone, swiped and clicked on the comic app.
