Chapter 25 Severe Injury
Li Yi took a small half-step back, his posture still upright, his expression calm and undisturbed.
He wasn't afraid, but he genuinely felt an indescribable strain.
With his unparalleled double pupils, he could clearly see every subtle movement of the three, the trajectory of every elemental force, and every gap in their attacks, allowing him to predict the direction and destination of all their attacks in advance.
However, its fatal weakness lies in the fact that physical speed cannot keep up with insightful thinking.
Although his eyes could see through everything and his mind had already calculated the best evasion and counterattack route, his body was limited by his physical foundation and the speed of his meridians, and his body simply could not keep up with the rhythm of his thoughts in an instant.
It's like riding a weak, exhausted horse. The road ahead is wide open, and the destination is clearly visible, but the horse is already exhausted and can no longer gallop forward. You have excellent eyesight, but you are constrained by your physical body and can only move your hands and feet.
The second brother had been in the martial arts world for many years and was extremely experienced in combat. He saw through Li Yi's current predicament at a glance.
"His spiritual perception far surpasses his physical speed, and his reaction and prediction are fast enough, but his movement can't keep up with the rhythm of his moves!" the second brother shouted sharply, reminding Scarface and Fatty, "Don't give him any chance to catch his breath and adjust. Press in with all your might, use speed to overcome slowness, and keep him pinned down!"
Reminded, Scarface's fists became even more ferocious and violent. His fists alternated and kept striking, leaving dark red afterimages in the air with his blood-red energy. These afterimages intertwined to form a giant, ever-tightening blood-red net that enveloped Li Yi layer upon layer, giving him no chance to breathe.
Li Yi's feet moved swiftly and nimbly, dodging three powerful punches in succession. By the time the fourth punch came, he had no room to maneuver.
Left with no other choice, he could only raise his right arm to block in front of him.
"Bang!"
The heavy force of the punch slammed into the forearm, producing a dull, crisp sound from the bones, and the violent energy surged backward along the meridians of the arm.
Li Yi staggered back two steps, his right arm instantly becoming numb and weak from the shock, hanging limply at his side. Although it was not broken, his meridians were damaged, making it difficult to use it at full strength for the time being.
Upon seeing this, the fat man lurking on the periphery had a glint of shrewdness in his eyes. Seizing this fleeting opening, he flicked his right wrist, and three poison needles gleaming with a cold, eerie blue light shot out through the air. The sound of them cutting through the air was subtle yet sharp, and they aimed directly at Li Yi's face, throat, and chest, sealing off all angles of evasion.
The light in Li Yi's double pupils suddenly solidified, and the trajectory, speed, and landing point of the three poison needles were clearly visible in his eyes.
His head was tilted slightly, his body slightly turned to the side, and two poisoned needles whistled past his ears, embedding themselves in the rocks behind him, penetrating about an inch deep, demonstrating the force of their impact.
The poisoned needle aimed at his chest was already inches away; dodging it would be too late.
With a casual flick of his left hand, Li Yi precisely caught the poisoned needle in mid-air, his two fingers firmly joined together. The needle tip was less than an inch from his chest, a faint blue light swirling around his fingertips, and a pungent, foul stench of poison slowly spread out, exuding a deadly, insidious venom.
Li Yi glanced indifferently at the poison needle on his fingertip, then flicked it lightly, dropping it to the ground.
Upon seeing this, the fat man's face turned deathly pale, and a profound shock surged within him.
His poisoned silver needles were made with the finest materials and possessed a potent toxicity. In the past, even cultivators of the same level who were accidentally struck by them would suffer instant paralysis of their meridians and dissipation of their vital energy, inevitably leading to their demise. Yet this young man before him was able to pick up the poisoned needles with his bare fingers. His courage and physical strength were truly terrifying.
"If you have any other dirty tricks up your sleeve, just use them all." Li Yi looked at the fat man calmly and said in a nonchalant tone, yet he exuded an invisible sense of pressure.
The fat man was stunned and subconsciously took a step back. His legs went weak and his courage was almost completely shattered.
In that tiny moment of retreat, the flaw was fully exposed.
Li Yi's eyes narrowed slightly as he seized the opportunity and took a step forward with the Qilin Step.
But instead of charging forward, he moved three feet to the side in a strange manner, his whole body moving like a ghost, instantly closing the distance with the fat man and closing in on him in a flash.
The fat man was shocked and tried to back away to dodge, but it was too late. The distance between them closed in an instant, and there was no room for maneuver.
Before he could react, Li Yi gently struck out with his right palm. The force seemed calm and restrained, but in reality, the angle was extremely tricky. The palm force was condensed and restrained, without revealing its power, but it directly penetrated the skin and muscles, accurately striking the fat man's vital heart meridian.
"puff!"
The fat man coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground. He rolled several times, struggling to get up, but he felt his meridians shattering inch by inch, and his vital energy completely dissipating. As if his foundation had been removed, he couldn't muster any strength and could only lie limp on the ground, completely powerless to fight.
"Fatty!"
Seeing another companion seriously injured and unable to fight, Scarface's eyes widened in fury. He roared and his blood-red Yuan Power surged to its limit in both fists. He recklessly charged at Li Yi, his moves violent and chaotic, his reason clouded by rage.
Li Yi showed no intention of turning back, his expression remaining indifferent and composed.
He slightly turned his body to the side, just in time to avoid the scarred man's first punch, and then reached out with his left hand to precisely grab the other man's wrist. Using the force of the other man's forward momentum, he suddenly twisted and pulled.
With a soft snap, Scarface's right arm was forcibly straightened, his center of gravity shifted forward instantly, and his entire right side was completely exposed to Li Yi, offering no defense whatsoever.
Li Yi suddenly raised his right elbow, carrying a concentrated Qilin energy, and slammed it down hard towards the scarred man's elbow joint.
"Snap!"
A piercing sound of bones cracking rang out, sending shivers down one's spine.
Scarface's right arm was bent and broken at a bizarre, twisted angle, the bare bone piercing through the flesh and exposed, a horrifying sight, with blood gushing out from the wound.
"what!"
A heart-wrenching scream erupted from Scarface's mouth, his face instantly covered in cold sweat, and excruciating pain swept through his entire body. He clutched his severed arm wound tightly with his left hand, staggering backward, his body trembling uncontrollably.
Li Yi did not take the opportunity to pursue.
It wasn't that they were being soft-hearted, but rather that they were no longer able to launch a forceful attack.
The previous maneuvering and attack had aggravated the fractured rib on his left side. The dislocated bone fragments pierced the surrounding muscles and tissues. Every slight movement felt like being repeatedly cut by a sharp blade, and the excruciating pain constantly eroded his mind.
He glanced down at his left side and saw that his clothes were already stained with a small patch of dark red blood, which was still seeping out. His injury was quite serious.
"Tsk." Li Yi frowned slightly, a hint of impatience flashing through his mind.
