Chapter 497: Overwhelming the Foes
Chapter 497: Overwhelming the Foes
After the man finished speaking, the four of them split up and moved to the sides.
If they had just met a few days ago, they would have been more cautious and considered whether to engage in such a fight. But since they knew each other and had experience working together against enemies, they were more confident.
The hypothetical enemy they envisioned was much stronger than Yu Lie.
Yu Lie was an ardent admirer of this person, and if he joined them, it would indeed hinder their plans. It was better to take him out early on.
Seeing them retreat to the corners, Yu Lie found himself surrounded. He showed no signs of tension, instead smiling playfully. With a flick of his fingers, he sent a coin flying towards the opponent on his left.
The opponent didn't move, simply clapping his hands to deflect the coin. However, the force attached to it was strong, momentarily restraining Yu Lie.
Seizing the moment, Yu Lie charged towards the enemy in front of him.
Although one of them was restrained, the two on his left and behind him rushed forward. They didn't intercept but closely watched his movements.
Yu Lie acted as if he didn't see them, punching towards the front. The opponent was aggressive, showing no signs of retreating, and countered with a punch of his own.
Yu Lie didn't dodge; instead, he accelerated forward, allowing the punch to land on his head. Simultaneously, he punched the opponent's chest.
With this exchange, he shattered the opponent's heart, causing him to collapse almost instantly. Although not dead, the opponent lost his fighting ability, and a dent appeared on his forehead where Yu Lie's punch had landed.
Two cracking sounds echoed as Yu Lie's arm and back were struck simultaneously, breaking his ribs and shoulder blades.
Yu Lie grinned, not showing any signs of pain. Instead, he burst into a wild laugh. As he had anticipated, the opponent had relaxed, and this strike wasn't delivered with full force.
As the opponent fell, Yu Lie quickly turned around and kicked towards the person behind him. The opponent didn't dodge but retaliated with a kick of their own. Meanwhile, the person on the left attacked with a finger blade aimed at Yu Lie's ear.
The fourth person, who had been delayed by the coin earlier, charged from the right and kicked towards Yu Lie's ankle.
The attacks of the three opponents landed almost simultaneously. Yu Lie's opponent was kicked in the face, causing his face to dent in, and he flew backward.
Although Yu Lie was also hit in the chest, it didn't have much effect this time. His aberrant organization had condensed to block the attack.
As for the finger that pierced his ear, it only managed to penetrate a short distance before being firmly held back by the aberrant organization within, but blood still trickled down.
Regarding his ankle, a cracking sound could be heard, but he remained firmly rooted in place.
The remaining two opponents' faces changed, and they began to speak, but their words trailed off as they suddenly realized something. Yu Lie's defensive abilities could have withstood their attacks, and their injuries wouldn't have been so severe. By allowing them to strike first, he was clearly trying to attract their attacks and create an opportunity to quickly defeat them.
Such an action was insane.
But the effect was very real. In the blink of an eye, two of them were down. Yu Lie didn't care what they thought; he had no intention of stopping. He immediately rushed towards the next target, the opponent in front of him.
This opponent didn't panic due to the changing situation, nor was he intimidated. Instead, he remained calm, raising his arms to execute a grappling technique. The person on the side also responded, aiming a finger strike at Yu Lie's injured shoulder.
Yu Lie maintained his reckless, head-on approach, not dodging or avoiding. But as he got closer, the opponent's eyes flashed with cunning. As he reached for Yu Lie's hand, he suddenly changed his palm to a fist, while the person on the side altered their finger strike to grab Yu Lie's waist and spine.
This change was incredibly clever, as both opponents adjusted their techniques and coordinated with each other. If Yu Lie hadn't reacted in time, even with his superior strength, he might have been taken down in one move.
At this moment, Yu Lie stomped his foot, causing a dent in the floor, and accelerated forward. Once again, he rushed towards the incoming punch. The opponent's fist smashed into his face, denting half of his face, but he maintained his wild smile and collided with the opponent, wrapping his arms around the latter. Suddenly, they both spun around.
Using this spin, Yu Lie not only freed himself from the finger on his spine but also added a twisting motion to his spin. With this force, his spine moved like a dragon, gathering power at his forehead. He headbutted the opponent's face, creating a loud bang as the opponent's face caved in.
The last opponent was startled and took a few steps back instead of advancing.
Yu Lie released his grip, allowing the person in his arms to go limp. He spat out a mouthful of blood and broken teeth, which fell onto the floor. He wiped his mouth with his hand.
Despite the seemingly brutal outcome, it was a necessary price to pay, as there was no way he could win against the combined might of four people under normal circumstances. Even if he managed to defeat one of them by chance, the others could easily scatter and engage him in a prolonged fight, making it impossible for him to catch up to the remaining individuals. Moreover, the training session was about to begin, and if he didn't achieve his goal before then, it would be too late.
With only one person left standing, things became much easier.
At that moment, cracking sounds emanated from his body as the broken parts healed, and even the dented area on his head was pushed back into shape by the aberrant organization, slowly fusing back together.
The last person's expression changed several times before finally saying, "You win, I concede."
"That's not possible," Yu Lie said with a playful look, "You're so close to them, and they're all lying down while you're standing. That's not very sociable of you."
The man's face darkened, and his figure flickered as he quickly retreated. He knew he was no match for Yu Lie, but since it had come to this, there was no point in staying and getting beaten up.
The direction of his retreat was carefully chosen; it was precisely where Chen Chuan was located, indicating an attempt to use Chen Chuan as a shield.
Chen Chuan had no intention of getting involved, but when he saw the man's movement, he casually took half a step to the side just as the man was about to reach him.
This half-step not only failed to allow the man to stick close to him and dodge, but it also blocked the man's path a step ahead of time.
Startled, the man instinctively changed direction, but this delay gave Yu Lie the opportunity to catch up. He reached out and placed his hand on the man's shoulder.
However, the man's eyes narrowed, and with a swift movement, he grabbed Yu Lie's shoulder, intending to use a grappling force to subdue him.
But as the force penetrated, it was neutralized by an even stronger force that surged up, not only failing to capture Yu Lie but also getting countered by the incoming force.
The man was shocked. He had just realized that Yu Lie was also skilled in grappling, something he hadn't noticed during their previous exchanges, where he had assumed Yu Lie was proficient in freehand techniques. But by the time he realized this, it was too late.
As his body went limp, he knelt on the spot.
Yu Lie's hands slid down the man's shoulders, grabbing his arms and twisting them inward with a crisp 'crack', breaking them. However, Yu Lie didn't stop there; he stepped forward and placed his hands on the man's head and chin.
The man was startled, "Wait..."
With a 'crack', the man's neck instantly snapped, and he fell to the ground, powerless.
Although his neck was broken, as a third-limit combatant, he would not die as long as his head remained attached, even without any additional injuries. However, recovery wouldn't be easy.
Yu Lie clapped his hands and looked at the four people lying on the ground. He had not specified what would happen to them if they lost to him, but by crippling them, it would take at least several days for them to recover.
Naturally, the training class position would not remain vacant, and someone else would take their place. It would be much harder for these individuals to return to their positions later.
After dealing with them, Yu Lie raised his head and looked at Chen Chuan, saying, "Oh, I almost forgot. There's one more person here, isn't it Captain Chen? I've heard of your reputation.
I believe only the truly elite can follow Teacher Chen's teachings, so I want to see if Captain Chen is as capable as the rumors suggest."
Chen Chuan looked at him and said, "Major Yu, given your current situation, do you still want to have another bout with me?" Even if the man could recover quickly, it would still consume his blood essence and stamina.
Yu Lie spread his hands and said, "It's fine, this doesn't affect my performance."
He smiled, and within a short time, his broken teeth had already grown back.
"I think we won't be fighting for long, right?"
Chen Chuan agreed, saying, "Major Yu, since you feel capable, let's give it a try."
Yu Lie burst into laughter, not showing any hesitation, and with bloodstains all over his body, he quickly approached.
Chen Chuan had heard rumors about him before, knowing he was not an easy opponent, but the stronger the opponent, the more excited he became.
He had full confidence in himself, believing that no one could compare to him among the younger generation. With each victory, his confidence grew stronger, and his strength increased. Now, he had embarked on the path of psychic cultivation, and the desire in his heart propelled him forward.
While he craved for a challenge, it didn't mean he disregarded combat strategies. In the previous fight, he hadn't used any psychic power, choosing to wait for Chen Chuan. But now, he was about to unleash it.
His eyes glimmered with psychic power, and even before he reached Chen Chuan, a mental force collided with Chen Chuan's.
