CHAPTER 1740: CHAPTER 1792: EVENLY MATCHED

Satan gives off a feeling of being overbearing, strong, and unreasonable. If one punch can’t knock you down, he’ll throw several more. After a few punches, if you’re still standing, he’ll continue with even more punches. But now, he’s using techniques, which feels refreshingly different, making people think it’s quite unusual.

Li Yifei was amazed. Satan moved around a bit and suddenly attacked, giving Li Yifei the feeling of a snake wrapping around him.

For such a muscular man to use such soft attacks, Li Yifei certainly couldn’t assume they were harmless. On the contrary, as soon as they made contact, Li Yifei sensed danger. He immediately counterattacked with a move taught by Murong Yuanqing, which was precisely a technique to break free from restraints. Li Yifei used his elbows consecutively, then both palms, striking Satan’s chest, and took the opportunity to break free.

But Li Yifei didn’t turn and flee; instead, he turned back and continued, launching another attack.

Third Brother Liu Ming’s eyes flashed; he was now certain that his Tenth Brother was indeed stronger than him, which made him both happy and a bit emotional.

"This is what I realized when wandering in the Amazon rainforest, fighting giant pythons. Even an elephant can’t break free when coiled by a python, no matter how strong it is, it can’t resist the constriction!" Satan explained to Li Yifei before charging over.

Li Yifei simply said, "Continue!"

Continue? Of course, continue! Satan took a deep breath and charged forward using unnamed techniques, swinging his arms like snake heads. His robust arms now appeared extremely agile, and the muscles on his body moved exceptionally flexibly.

The mist surrounding the two seemed to come alive, contracting and expanding with their movements, and sharp booming sounds pierced the air, occasionally accompanied by whistling noises.

"Who do you think will win?" someone couldn’t stand the silence and quietly asked a nearby viewer. The person asked was stunned, watching the two fighting in the arena, instinctively replied, "I don’t know, I think both will win, and both will lose. Moreover... they’re too strong, beyond human limits."

The person asking was a bit displeased with the answer, shook his head, and said, "I think Satan will win. His strength and body are too strong, and now he’s using these techniques, so many changes."

"I think Golden Eagle will win. Don’t ask me why, I just hope he wins; I like Eastern martial arts!" The person replied while keeping their eyes on the scene.

The two softly discussed, causing dissatisfaction among those next to them. A woman couldn’t help but turn back and glare at them, seemingly scolding them for talking at this time, which was very unethical.

At the center of the field, where the two were battling, a whirlwind of sand and dust was stirred up. The crushed stones on the ground seemed to be blown up by the wind but wouldn’t settle, quickly flying around the two.

They were being drawn in; Li Yifei and Satan were like two magnetic fields. The wind generated by their rapid moves was strong enough to blow the small stones, which occasionally hit them but left no marks, and instead, the stones shattered into smaller bits.

The speed at which Li Yifei’s True Qi was consumed wasn’t fast at this moment. Satan hadn’t gone berserk, so he didn’t need to use much True Qi to resist.

During the first contest, Li Yifei had always been on defensive counterattacks. Satan’s attacks were full of oppression. However, this time, Li Yifei’s attacks were turned around. Facing Satan’s python-like attacks, Li Yifei continuously neutralized them with techniques learned, including the Tai Chi’s "Four Ounces Moves a Thousand Jins," Crane Fist, Mantis Fist, and so forth.

If a martial arts master from Huaxia watched on site at this time, he’d surely exclaim. Ordinary people find it hard to learn one martial art, yet Li Yifei managed to blend these martial arts together for his use.

After fighting again for several minutes, while occasionally gaining an advantage, they were still evenly matched. Slightly separated, Li Yifei shouted softly, expressing his inner emotions. Satan was pretty much the same; the two had awaited this battle for one year. They had experienced Life-and-Death Battles during the period, but none felt as exhilarating. Seeking breakthroughs in evenly matched situations and hunting for enemy strategies in the ever-changing dynamics.

It’s an indescribable feeling of thrill. Li Yifei had never had such a feeling when fighting others. However, to be careless might lead to severe injury or even risking one’s life, which was unavoidable.

"Thanks for your improvement as well, haha. Before coming, I worried whether you had improved this year, although I kept track of your movements, I never knew how much truth was in those rumors." Satan said sentimentally.

Li Yifei ground his foot and said, "I had the same thought, but as facts prove, both you and I have improved!"

"Not bad, come, continue!" After saying this, Satan stepped down sharply, causing the stone beneath to shatter and charged forward like a cannonball.

Good move! Li Yifei also dashed forward with the same action. The distance between them was less than ten meters; at such a short distance and such fast speed, in almost an instant, they collided. Upon impact, they engaged each other seven times—hands, feet, elbows, legs, shoulders, and other parts all unleashed powerful attacks.

The two didn’t fall because of this, but used this momentum to keep moving upwards; only sporadic "bang bang bang" sounds came from the air. Many people couldn’t clearly see their attacks, occasionally seeing a fleeting shadow.

"Hiss..." Someone inhaled, breathing in the island’s hot air but felt as if they were inhaling the cold air of a glacier. Their trachea and lungs were stimulated.

The Holy Maiden sobered up quite a bit; her eyes still had an appreciative gaze but weren’t the same as before.

Mig watched intently, realizing he had a gap with Golden Eagle and Satan. He only had a brief sense of powerlessness but soon developed an intense desire—being a soldier, one cannot falter before the battle, nor can one feel inferior to others, thereby sinking. Acknowledging shortcomings and striving to catch up is essential. If double the effort doesn’t work, then double it again; if twice doesn’t suffice, keep increasing it.

Additionally, he was to seriously observe the duel between the two now this is an extremely rare process, a form of enjoyment, and more importantly, a learning experience, something rare.

The five members of the Phantom Squad who came today were somewhat heated. They had once trained and lived with Li Yifei, sharing a unique bond. Seeing their youngest brother so strong now made them all pleased. Moreover, it excited them for the future of the squad.

Keen and eager to learn humbly, Li Yifei has grown so strong now; they can turn around to ask for advice and learn without involving any issues of pride or similar.
