"Don’t be nervous, looking at you, you should be a smart person!" Li Yifei said with a smile, "So, you should know what I want to know. Maybe if you tell me, I won’t have to use force."
Green Mouse’s eyes darted around. He knew Li Yifei’s purpose, but... does he really dare to speak out?
"Sorry, Li Yifei, I know what you want to know, but I can’t tell. If I say it, the captain won’t let me off, naturally, if I don’t say it, you probably won’t let me off either." Green Mouse smiled bitterly, shaking his head, "So whether I talk or not, I’m going to die, the result is the same."
"It’s not the same, of course not the same." Li Yifei looked at the bar, walked over, picked up a bottle of wine, directly pulled out the stopper, sniffed it, confirmed it was good wine, then gulped down a big sip, nodding, "Not bad, indeed good wine!"
Green Mouse watched Li Yifei’s movements silently. He was guessing if Li Yifei was in a state of injury. Li Yifei restrained his aura, so Green Mouse couldn’t sense it. Green Mouse had an excellent sense of smell; he could smell the faint scent of blood emanating from Li Yifei, yet this bit of blood scent was nothing, especially since he went through a big battle; it was impossible for him not to have any scent of blood, even Green Mouse could smell the scent of Black Tiger, White Sheep, and Yellow Cow from Li Yifei.
This was his gift. Li Yifei couldn’t do that, nor could the Holy Maiden specifically use Holy Light to clear the scents off the two. In fact, this time, it was indeed Li Yifei who came in himself. The Holy Maiden only coordinated with him from the outside. After all, even though the Holy Maiden ’easily’ took out Black Tiger using Holy Light, she was somewhat exhausted herself.
The wine was good, Green Mouse was also someone who enjoyed himself, but this was no time for drinking. Li Yifei carried the bottle back, squinting at Green Mouse, continuing the previous topic, "If you tell me what I want to know, then you are safe now. Afterward, you can escape to the ends of the earth, hide. Even if your crappy organization is powerful, with so many people, they can’t possibly find you quickly. Of course, if it were me, and I wanted to hide, no one could find me."
Green Mouse’s eyelids twitched. He had certainly thought about this, but...
"What, my proposal isn’t tempting? Haha, isn’t trading those secrets for your life enough?"
Green Mouse sighed and said, "It’s not unappealing, but even if I escape the Noah’s Ark Organization, I won’t live long. Each year we must return to the headquarters for medicine; without it, we die explosively. So even if you let me go now, and I escape Noah’s Ark Organization’s pursuit, I can’t live past a year."
"Who told you that? Your captain?" Li Yifei asked. freeweɓnovel.cøm
Green Mouse said, "I know you’re here to kill me, but I am no weakling, not someone you can kill just because you want to..."
"I thought you would keep feigning weakness until I completely let my guard down, then suddenly strike, even if you couldn’t kill me you’d manage to escape." Li Yifei looked at Green Mouse somewhat regretfully.
Green Mouse laughed heartily, finally ceasing his disguise, instantly releasing his aura. He was also highly skilled, Green Mouse was no weakling.
Li Yifei didn’t see him as a weakling either, after all, he was one of the Twelve Holy Beasts, and what’s more, he was cunning, looking like a crafty force. Therefore, when Green Mouse released his might, Li Yifei also put the bottle down, instantly releasing his aura. This time there was only one opponent, so Li Yifei had no reservations. Of course, this didn’t mean there were no enemies outside, but compared to Green Mouse, those outside were just insignificant riffraff, not worth mentioning.
Strong, indeed strong, Green Mouse almost stepped back under the pressure of Li Yifei’s might, inwardly marveling. The strength Li Yifei exhibited was not something he could match, especially as Li Yifei drew a blackened, seemingly ordinary blade. But precisely because of this appearance, he knew this blade was no ordinary one because he thought of the blade wounds on Black Tiger and White Sheep, likely caused by this very blade.
Their intelligence missed this blade, though Li Yifei had repeatedly used the Mohist War Blade after obtaining it, at Noah’s Ark it happened to be a period of investigative blankness, not paying much attention to Li Yifei.
"What is your blade called?"
"Kitchen knife!" Li Yifei replied.
"A good kitchen knife, let me experience its might."
"No, what you’ll experience is me; this blade isn’t worth challenging." Hearing the provocation, Li Yifei replied, slinging the Mohist War Blade behind his back. Seeing Green Mouse make a move, he immediately retaliated.
Green Mouse’s attack was eerie; his speed was fast, but not faster than Black Tiger’s; his moves were peculiar. Li Yifei’s fists and feet moved, relying on his height and long arms, fully deflecting Green Mouse’s offense.
Once a seasoned warrior makes a move, skill is evident, Green Mouse secretly alarmed. Li Yifei’s martial arts are even a notch higher than his own, just how was the intelligence work done? How did he improve so significantly in such a short time?
This is also an example of Noah’s Ark Organization’s arrogance; from the beginning to the end, they did not consider Li Yifei as their most important enemy, so their understanding of him was insufficient. Meanwhile, Li Yifei showed great determination, advancing in his skills three times a day, continually enhancing himself through duels and fierce fights. Martial arts, after all, only become the strongest when honed on the edge of life and death.
This reasoning was something Green Mouse also couldn’t comprehend, so at this moment, he felt slightly confused.
"Bang!" Li Yifei punched Green Mouse, who raised his arms and used a unique technique to deflect Li Yifei’s punch. Unfortunately, the second punch immediately followed, then the third, and the fourth, each punch unfaltering and unmatched.
Green Mouse gritted his teeth and managed to withstand three punches but could hold on no longer. Because he was washing his face, Green Mouse didn’t have his weapon, whereas for a master, the weapon should never easily leave one’s side. Back in the army, Li Yifei used to sleep while holding his gun to develop a bond and mutual understanding with it. On missions outside, he’d ensure that the gun was always within reach, ready to react and fire at the shortest notice.
But Green Mouse didn’t, whereas Li Yifei did. He wanted to say, "Let me get my weapon and fight again," but unfortunately Li Yifei wasn’t using a weapon either, and merely with his fists did he expose Green Mouse’s weakness...
From the start, Green Mouse didn’t intend to go down without a fight. He had already secretly plotted against Li Yifei several times... and that was through poison. As the weakest among Noah’s Ark Organization’s Twelve Holy Beasts, Green Mouse knew that advancing further in cultivation was unlikely in his lifetime, something the captain had also said. So he sought another path, delving deeply into the art of poison, which was his innate talent, becoming familiar with all kinds.
Unfortunately... he encountered Li Yifei, thus having the same ill fate as the three before, encountering Li Yifei.
The worm inside Li Yifei almost guaranteed his immunity to all poisons, even against most drugs. Green Mouse had subtly laid several poisons during their confrontation; Li Yifei encountered them all, but due to his unique constitution, they didn’t affect him. The worm directly neutralized the toxins.
Watching as all the poisons laid on his body and in the room were exhausted, yet Li Yifei showed no signs of poisoning. Instead, he grew fiercer until Li Yifei landed a punch, sending Green Mouse flying and crashing into a wall, collapsing to the ground with blood spewing from his throat.
Green Mouse started coughing violently and struggled to stand up, looking at Li Yifei with fear. The poisons laid out were all highly toxic; had Li Yifei not had an exceptional constitution or the appropriate antidotes, he would likely be out cold. Yet, Li Yifei was poised and calm, without the slightest flush or breathlessness, completely unscathed.
"How... is this possible?" Green Mouse asked in disbelief.
Li Yifei dusted his clothes, revealing a white-toothed grin, and replied with a slight smile, "Are you talking about the poisons you used?"
Green Mouse nodded instinctively and then immediately tried to shake his head. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Yes, I used five different poisons in total. Each one is highly toxic. Even top experts would be affected unless they stopped immediately to neutralize the poison..."
"Yet I am unaffected," Li Yifei interjected. freewebnøvel.coɱ
"Yes, why are you unharmed? This is impossible..."
"Short-sighted, that’s what you are. Do you really think you know everything? It’s okay for your captain to be impressive, but not for me," Li Yifei replied.
Green Mouse was left speechless, realizing Li Yifei made a valid point. He sighed and said, "Enough, I’ve lived long enough, never thought I’d encounter someone like you... a monster immune to poison."
"It’s no big deal to tell you. I’m indeed not afraid of poisons. Any poison is useless on me. As for the specific reason, knowing won’t help you because there’s no way to solve it," Li Yifei said, thinking to himself, not even I can manage it. If you could, I’d rather be poisoned.
Green Mouse thought Li Yifei was mocking him, his facial muscles twitching, and he said, "Enough, kill me if you must; I, Green Mouse, have nothing to say."
"Loyal to Noah’s Ark Organization, aren’t you? Fine, not saying is fine. For every one I find unwilling to speak, I’ll kill one. Eventually, someone will be willing to talk," Li Yifei said calmly.
The Mohist War Blade returned to his hand, and as True Qi surged, the Mohist War Blade emitted an intense aura. Green Mouse felt the hair on his body stand on end and realized why White Sheep and others failed.
Li Yifei raised his right hand, infusing True Qi. The white blade aura on the Mohist War Blade flickered in and out, and Li Yifei asked one last time, "This is your last chance. Will you speak or not?"
