Super Soldier in the City

Chapter 1834 - 1895: A Harrowing Treatment

Both of them could hear the soft sword entering the flesh, making a strange sound that definitely wasn’t normal for a human body. It sounded very odd, and then they saw a strand of black blood flow out. They were both shocked; the blood looked like tofu residue, with even some granular pieces inside.Wang Chao and Ma Han were exceptionally nervous. The old man’s health had been declining year by year, and this year it was particularly bad. Could he really afford such bloodletting?

"Don’t worry!" Li Yifei twisted his hand, enlarging the wound, and then pulled out the soft sword. Watching this made both of them shudder. Ma Han almost wanted to stop Li Yifei, while Wang Chao broke into a cold sweat, thinking to himself, are we so desperate that we’re resorting to any cure? How can we trust this little punk? What if...

As soon as the soft sword was pulled out, naturally, a stream of black blood oozed out, just like before, but strangely, it stopped after the initial flow.

Whew, both of them breathed a sigh of relief. If the wound caused by the soft sword kept bleeding incessantly, there’d be no need for detoxification; it would just drain Elder Su to death.

"Don’t just stand there, hurry up and continue! If we delay any longer, all our previous efforts will be wasted. Do you want the old man to bleed once more?" Li Yifei shouted impatiently.

Wang Chao and Ma Han quickly nodded, their hands, used for acupoint aiming, tightened. Then, Li Yifei rapidly pointed out several places, saying, "Don’t mess up the order, or it’s over."

They weren’t complete idiots. They’d learned acupuncture points while practicing martial arts since childhood. Although Li Yifei was pointing quickly, they could still barely keep up. They were just puzzled why Li Yifei had to press some points twice. At this moment, Li Yifei explained, "Some acupoints need to be sealed first before sealing another, but the previous one cannot remain sealed, so it must be unblocked. Do you understand?"

They nodded quickly, even if they didn’t understand, but their hands didn’t slow down.

As Li Yifei required force, they dared not hold back their strength. If it wasn’t effective, there was nothing they could do but apologize in their hearts, Dad, sorry, but we are doing this to save you.

While speaking, Li Yifei stopped them, plunging his soft sword again, this time into Elder Su’s lower abdomen. However, this time Li Yifei didn’t stab at an acupoint, at least in Wang Chao and Ma Han’s view, Li Yifei missed.

This... Both of them winced again. Young man, are you reliable or not? Can it work like this? Also, this wound is even deeper than the last one.

But Li Yifei was focused, holding what seemed not to be a soft sword but an embroidery needle. He gently rotated the tip of the sword. At first, no black blood came out, not even any blood, but after a few dozen seconds, the black blood started oozing out, more of it than there was before.

This action by Li Yifei lasted over a minute, almost two minutes before he suddenly withdrew the soft sword, taking a deep breath. Although he seemed at ease, this was Li Yifei’s first time performing this procedure, and he was a bit tense. If he couldn’t save the person, he wasn’t afraid of conflict with these people, but it would ruin his credibility. A good success rate was important for a first-timer.

With this thought, Li Yifei quickly pressed acupoints, asking the two to use True Qi to seal them. This time Wang Chao and Ma Han didn’t hesitate anymore, making consecutive points, getting faster and seemingly more proficient.

"Not bad, quite perceptive!" If it were a different situation, Li Yifei complimenting them would make the two maybe humble; if an elder had said this, they might have felt honored. Too bad the setting and the complimenter were wrong. The two were about ten years older than Li Yifei, and such praise from him was... somewhat uncomfortable.

The arm, torso, up next was the most important spot for a man. Li Yifei frowned after a glance and decided to skip over it since it wasn’t that crucial, aiming directly at the two legs.

Two minutes later, after bloodletting at Zusanli on both thighs, Li Yifei heaved a long sigh, wiping the sweat from his forehead with his other hand. Turning to look at Wang Chao and Ma Han, their clothes were soaked, indicating their extreme tension.

"Is that necessary? Relax, it’s almost done," Li Yifei laughed and said.

Wang Chao and Ma Han almost collapsed, asking, "Not done yet?"

"The person hasn’t even woken up, how can it be done!" Li Yifei replied.

While the three were toiling... oh, saving a life, Su Lio was angrily glaring at Song Lianyao inside the room. After just entering, she had asked Song Lianyao who they were. Song Lianyao, not knowing Li Yifei’s intention, simply replied, "You can ask my husband later."

Su Lio, slightly irritated, said, "You woman, how come you have no opinion of your own? Do you have to have his approval for everything?"

"Isn’t that what a woman should do? You don’t know that a husband is like heaven?" Song Lianyao retorted, not showing weakness. Even if the other party had a significant background, so did she, being the wife of the Li family, her influence spanned the entire province.

Su Lio felt momentarily speechless, pouting, she said, "Women hold up half the sky, you know. Why should we have to listen to men and not thrive without them?"

Song Lianyao smiled and said, "You don’t have a boyfriend yet, do you?"

"No..." Su Lio shook her head, then frowned and said, "What does this have to do with what I said!"

"Not much, but it does have some relation because you don’t have a boyfriend, so you don’t know the subtlety in this. Women, after all, need men. Haven’t you heard of the balance of Yin and Yang?"

"Fallacy, fallacy!" Su Lio continued shaking her head. She harbored deep resentment against Li Yifei, but she had no ill feelings toward Song Lianyao. She just didn’t like her attitude towards men. Such a beautiful woman, why would she behave like that towards men? It was really baffling.

"You’re still young and don’t understand, you’ll get it in the future." Song Lianyao said.

Su Lio took a deep breath and said, "Forget it, you’re already beyond hope. I really don’t understand what’s so good about that man outside that has you so bewitched!"

As she spoke, Su Lio suddenly shuddered and asked, "He didn’t drug you, did he? Otherwise, how could you be like this? If he really did drug you, tell me, I, Su Lio, will definitely help you. Don’t be afraid of him. The Su Family still holds some status; rescuing someone is not difficult!"

"Better stop thinking about rescuing me, and rescue your grandfather first!" Song Lianyao replied nonchalantly. She had originally thought of this girl as somewhat naive and cute but didn’t expect her thoughts to be so unusual.

It couldn’t be called bizarre, just too wishfully thinking.

Su Lio pouted her lips. Mentioning her grandfather made her tense up again. Unfortunately, with the door blocking, she didn’t know what was happening outside.

That bastard, that fraud, can he really save Grandpa or not? If he can’t save him, I swear I’ll... Su Lio’s thoughts circled back, so much so that she angrily kicked, but in her frustration managed to kick a chair. Coincidentally today Su Lio was wearing high heels, and that kick made her grimace in pain.

Song Lianyao pursed her lips and laughed. This girl was really... what was that word again, oh right, adorkable.

"Don’t laugh!" Su Lio glared. However, her glare lacked power. Song Lianyao wasn’t afraid of her, found a chair to sit on, and began to play on her phone. Su Lio also wanted to sit but instead stayed by the door, ready to rush out at the first sign of movement from outside.

Actually, the whole procedure took less than twenty minutes, a third of an hour, a seventy-second of a day. Some people daze off for an hour, while some nap for two to three hours.

But now Su Lio was just too anxious, naturally making time feel slower.

Outside, Li Yifei was holding a soft sword, getting ready to separate it close to Elder Su’s neck. Even though Wang Chao and Ma Han had come to trust Li Yifei, they were still nervous to death. If Su Lio were to see this, she would probably kick someone.

But seeing that the previous wounds were slowly closing, seemingly healing, the two were left speechless, only able to comfort themselves, "If he wanted to harm Elder Su, he wouldn’t need so long. He could have just stabbed down with one strike. Given Li Yifei’s speed, the two of us wouldn’t be able to stop him."

This form of self-consolation was quite effective, at least giving them more hope.

"There’s some risk involved here. I don’t know if I should..." Li Yifei suddenly stopped, looking at the two on either side. As soon as he spoke, Wang Chao and Ma Han’s recently calmed nerves became tense again. Big brother, don’t toy with us like this.

Lying there was the foster father of the two, although not their biological father, to them, he was no different. So the two were extraordinarily tense.

Just as they were about to ask, Li Yifei already thrust down, and as his action unfolded, their hearts simultaneously fell with it.

Luckily, this time Li Yifei only pierced the skin and didn’t go deeper. Immediately, a large amount of black blood flowed from the wound, which made them relax. But quickly, Li Yifei withdrew the sword and thrust another blow beside it, making their hearts jump again.

In just a few seconds, Li Yifei made three jabs; three triangular wounds simultaneously let out black blood. Li Yifei wiped them with tissues. Despite being as cautious as he could, some blood still splattered on his clothes. It looked like these clothes were done for.

Li Yifei hesitated slightly, rotated the soft sword, and before the two could catch their breath, said, "This is the crucial part; be careful!"

The two were still holding their breaths, could only nod in response. Li Yifei then tapped several spots on Elder Su’s face with his fingers. Quickly, the two had fingers flying, continuously sealing acupoints on Elder Su’s face.

"Very good." Li Yifei said, as he brought the sword down at Elder Su’s brow. The skin on a person’s face is only so thick, yet Li Yifei thrust deeply, seemingly directly into the bone, which made Wang Chao and Ma Han... Well, to be honest, their hearts hadn’t settled at all. If Li Yifei doesn’t finish soon, they’ll need to go to the hospital for an ECG afterwards.
