Chapter 2205 - 2206: The Gap
Chapter 2205: Chapter 2206: The Gap
Lin Yi’s voice had barely faded before Group One’s other members were also ready,
having each identified their own targets.
In contrast, things were not as calm on Shao Yuanjie’s side.
He had brought these people here to deal with Lin Yi together, hoping to wear him down and thus enhance their chances.
But now, his team members had somehow mysteriously ended up here.
This was not a good sign for his plans.
“It looks like we can only rely on luck today,” Shao Yuanjie murmured.
They had prepared such a formation today solely for the sake of caution.
Despite being outnumbered two against one, they believed they still held a substantial advantage and were not entirely without chances of victory.
“Let’s go all out!”
“Follow me!” Gu Qingping roared before both of them charged toward their opponents at the same time.
“Leader, I’ll help you with those two!”
Sui Qiang was injured, and Yu Siying, being the strongest in Group One, was ready to help Lin Yi share some of the burden.
“No need, dealing with those two doesn’t require so many people, just go handle the others.”
With that, Lin Yi quickened his pace and in the blink of an eye, rushed up to Shao Yuanjie and then leapt into the air, aiming a kick toward his chest!
Sensing Lin Yi’s movement, Shao Yuanjie reacted immediately.
As someone from Group Four, whether it was his personal strength or experience, he was far superior to others!
Yet, even so, he was still a step slower in front of Lin Yi and was kicked squarely in the chest, stumbling backward several steps!
“How is this possible!”
Both Shao Yuanjie and Gu Qingping were taken by surprise.
He was a C-rank like them, how could he possibly be at this level!
After a brief moment of panic, Gu Qingping changed his attack strategy, circling to Lin Yi’s flank and finding his weakest spot.
At precisely this moment, Lin Yi, with his rich combat experience, reacted instantly.
Upon landing, he lowered his body, dodged Gu Qingping’s attack,
then swept around with his right leg as the pivot, aiming a low sweep kick at his right leg!
Seeing the dangerous situation, Gu Qingping quickly retreated, just managing to turn Lin Yi’s attack from peril to safety!
The brief exchange allowed them to thoroughly gauge Lin Yi’s strength.
His level was even higher than they had anticipated!
“Damn it, stop holding back, let’s finish him off quickly!”
Shao Yuanjie cursed, pulling a dagger from his pocket, while Gu Qingping took out a baton.
These were their usual weapons; initially, they hadn’t planned to use them, but it was now impossible not to.
“Looks like it’s getting serious.”
Lin Yi adjusted his posture, ready to face the battle.
If possible, he would have liked to use a weapon too.
But both the scalpel and dagger were left in the room, and there was no chance to fetch them.
Moreover, it seemed there was no need for weapons to deal with these two!
Once again, they charged at him, but this time, Lin Yi targeted Gu Qingping!
The latter swung his baton from above with strong force and a tricky angle.
But in front of Lin Yi, it was all in vain!
Lin Yi neither dodged nor flinched, seeing Gu Qingping smash the baton down, he simply raised one hand, without any intent to dodge, and forcefully withstood the blow, tightly gripping the baton in his hand!
“This can’t be possible!”
“There’s no such thing as impossible, you are just too weak!”
Thud!
Lin Yi kicked Gu Qingping in the abdomen, catching him off guard. Gu Qingping felt a tremendous pain, as though his guts were churning.
At the moment Gu Qingping was dazed, Lin Yi snatched the baton from his hand and swung it backward fiercely, blocking Shao Yuanjie’s dagger.
Lin Yi’s arm jerked upward, temporarily forcing Shao Yuanjie back.
In that brief second, Lin Yi delivered a flying kick to Gu Qingping’s head.
With a scream, Gu Qingping spat out blood and was sent flying backward.
He was completely unable to fight back against Lin Yi.
Meanwhile, Shao Yuanjie charged again, but Lin Yi, holding the baton, exchanged more than a dozen blows with him.
Under Lin Yi’s fierce and storm-like offensive, Shao Yuanjie found no opportunity to counterattack, retreating step by step, only able to defend passively without any ability to threaten Lin Yi.
Seizing a moment when Shao Yuanjie’s stamina ebbed, Lin Yi struck his wrist with the baton.
With a scream of pain, the dagger clattered to the ground.
Shao Yuanjie instinctively clutched his injured hand, which gave Lin Yi the chance he needed.
He grabbed Shao Yuanjie by the hair and smashed him into a nearby fire cabinet.
Clang!
The iron cabinet door dented deeply from the impact, blood covered Shao Yuanjie’s face, and he screamed in agony.
Both fighters were down and neither could stand up again.
Lin Yi turned his attention to another part of the fight.
His team had also gained the upper hand and it wouldn’t be long before the battle was over.
“Luo Qi, what are you doing? I told you to handle one person, and yet you’re still struggling!”
“I got it, Lin Bro,” Luo Qi said nervously.
Due to the defeat of Shao Yuanjie and Gu Qingping, the morale of their group of eight or nine plummeted.
They were completely overpowered by Lin Yi’s team and soon, all were beaten down, lying on the ground, too scared to stand up.
Shao Yuanjie and Gu Qingping stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with fear and disbelief.
“How could you be so strong when we’re all at level C!”
“You should know that not all are equal. There is a natural gap in talent. Even though you’re from the fourth team, you must face reality,” Lin Yi said, “I’ve even killed level B fighters, let alone you two losers.”
“How could you…”
Both men’s hearts pounded rapidly, unsure what to say. As the saying goes, history is written by the victors, and at this point, words were futile.
“Boss, what should we do with these people?” Yu Siying asked.
“Don’t rush, let me interrogate them first.”
Lin Yi looked at Shao Yuanjie and Gu Qingping.
“Where are Shao Zhenye and Gu Haichao?”
“Heh…”
Shao Yuanjie gave a cold laugh, “We are all from the Central Guards Brigade, do you think I would answer your question?”
Lin Yi shrugged, “True, no one who makes it into the Central Guards Brigade is a coward, but I bet not everyone you brought here has a spine as tough as you two.”
Their faces showed a hint of panic.
If Lin Yi focused on them, things would become difficult.
“I’m assigning you a task. Get the information about Shao Zhenye and Gu Haichao from these men.”
“Understood, Lin Bro.”
Lin Yi returned to the room, picked up his scalpel and dagger from the two bodies, cleaned them, and tucked them away.
A few minutes later, Xiao Bing walked in.
“Lin Bro, I got the information. They’re at Yunshan Pavilion, and there’s also someone named Zhang Jiahao there.”
