Chapter 0001: Master

Old Li, the path above that of a master, I still have not seen, perhaps, it truly does not exist...

Yang Yi and Old Li collided hard, suddenly retreating backward. The two exchanged blows, delivering no less than several thousand strikes. Both were extraordinary figures, masters of martial arts. Their previous exchanges were evenly matched, and it is not so simple for masters to determine a victor.

The captain at the forefront hung up the phone; just moments ago, a team member called to say that Yang Yi had been lost. He could only smile wryly

"Divine level, that is already the limit of the human body. Do you now understand why our Group Nine has been enduring in silence? For someone as terrifying as this, if we cannot capture them in one fell swoop, what could the consequences be?"

Old Master Li stared in shock at Yang Yi; with his masterful observational skills, he could hardly be unaware of what was happening. Yang Yi had actually held back at the last moment, refraining from striking him.

This team member looked at the twisted dough on the table with a hint of trepidation. The ability to mold steel into such a shape is truly astonishing. He is new and had previously heard of Yang Yi's reputation, but he was somewhat skeptical. However, upon seeing this twisted dough, he realized that the team's descriptions were still quite modest. Yang Yi can only be described as a monster; every god-level individual is undoubtedly a monster.

The team member exclaimed, "Yes! However, Captain, should we continue to investigate Yang Yi's whereabouts? He just appeared in the café, and he must have some purpose. Should we..."

This is quite a unique café, with few people inside, creating a very tranquil atmosphere

Yes, Director!

Yang Yi

The Security Team Nine immediately became busy, and the technician promptly reported: "Captain, we have located the phone; it is in a café outside the Imperial Garden Villa. Captain, the signal has disappeared."

The villa is quite large; walking forward for five hundred meters, one encounters a classical Chinese villa. Its layout appears very tranquil, and standing in front of this villa brings a refreshing sense of clarity and vitality.

This man clicked his tongue in admiration, shaking his head slightly. He could not afford to provoke the young lady from the Longteng Group; for such a large enterprise, with just a flick of a finger, all his wealth could vanish in an instant

This spirit tablet belongs to Yang Yiyi's father

Yang Yi turned around, and he vaguely remembered that it was this girl who had been tapping him incessantly from behind these past few days. With over ten years of experience at the Security Bureau, he certainly knew what was happening, but he chose to ignore it.

In a courtyard, Yang Yi stood quietly within the yard, as a gentle breeze passed by, causing a leaf to softly drift down.

Lin Shan entered the private room, opened the window, and immediately positioned the digital camera she had prepared earlier to face outside. In the frame was a young man dressed in a Zhongshan suit. In this day and age, someone wearing a Zhongshan suit had become quite a rarity, almost a curiosity, prompting passersby to glance curiously at the man.

The two individuals were completely unaware of Yang Yi's sudden move. Their reactions were also swift; they quickly reached into their arms and immediately drew out two handguns

Yang Yi, in front of the two individuals, instantly twisted the two guns into a tangled mass and threw them directly onto the ground, leaving a profound impact on the hearts of those present

The Ninth Group of the Security Bureau was ordered to carry out a mission in Neon Country. This was a secret mission; however, upon arriving in Neon Country, Yang Yi took advantage of the Ninth Group's approach to Yamamoto, swiftly killing him and successfully escaping despite being besieged by several colleagues from the Ninth Group.

His punch was merely symbolic in nature

The captain frowned and said, "Dongtian Group? Investigate, what exactly is going on?"

The captain gazed into the void and murmured softly, "Yang Yi, do you really intend to seek out that person?"

A flash of murderous intent flickered in Yang's eyes; he also found Lin Shan quite adorable, but he could not allow her to come to any harm. Thus, he quietly approached the two sneaky individuals.

Perfect, this is the level of a master of national martial arts, capable of perfectly controlling one's own vital energy, condensing it without releasing it; once released, it is uncontrollable, like a mountain collapsing and the sea overturning! It is a pity that in my childhood, my vital energy was not sufficiently replenished, and now it is too late to make up for it; otherwise, my strength would have been several times greater!

Yang Yi was walking outside the villa community when suddenly a familiar voice came from behind him

***

Yang Yi is the most talented, and his achievements even surpass those of his adoptive father. Later, before his adoptive father passed away, he gave Yang Yi and seven others a list, which contained the names of all the enemies who had killed his family during the war. After the war ended, these individuals returned to the country but did not receive the punishment they deserved. Therefore, the adoptive father adopted orphans and taught them martial arts and the art of killing, all in the hope of avenging him

***

"Who are you? What is your intention in tracking Lin Shan?"

At this moment, Yang Yi's face had turned pale. He gave a bitter smile as he looked towards Old Li's room and said softly, "Captain, it is the greatest humiliation for a martial artist to die under a bullet"

The divine level represents a true humanoid beast, standing at the pinnacle of human capability; such individuals in the world total no more than ten.

Lin Shan also thought it was impossible. With such a great distance, how could one possibly notice someone hiding in the booth without constant observation? Thus, Lin Shan stood up again and quietly looked into the park, only to find that the park was already deserted, and there was no trace of Yang Yi anywhere.

Yang Yi gently exhaled a breath of turbid air, his gaze calmly fixed on Old Li, and said softly: "Old Li, dueling with you is my only wish. This move is my own creation, and its power is astonishing. I have named it Reverse Kill!"

On the second day, Yang Yi, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, walked briskly down the street. It is indeed strange that although the Zhongshan suit was once a mainstream attire in China, it has become a relic of the past; wearing it now would typically seem quite outdated. However, on Yang Yi, it appeared completely natural, earning him endless praise from passersby

It was this mysterious Yang Yi who saved everyone in the vehicle. His slightly slender figure was like that of a celestial being, deeply etched in Lin Shan's mind. Consequently, she developed a strong interest in this highly skilled man. However, no matter how hard she tried, he only spoke a few brief words to her, as if he were a block of wood or ice. The only information she managed to obtain was his name, Yang Yi.

Yang Yi's name is as peculiar as he is. Suddenly, after sitting quietly in the park for three hours, Yang Yi opened his eyes and gazed thoughtfully in the direction where Lin Shan was.

The master taught them martial arts, cultivating various methods of killing from a young age, instilling in them a cold-hearted demeanor, yet treating them as if they were his own sons. Later, the master sent away five of them, stating that they were unqualified, leaving only eight, among whom was Yang Yi

Mr. Li, I would like to know what lies above the master

Call!

Yang Yi remained unmoved and said: "I am also aware of Mr. Li's deeds."

A glimmer of determination flashed in Yang Yi's eyes as he exerted the strength of a master to firmly control his vital energy and blood.

Oh no, has he discovered me? Lin Shan quickly closed the window and hid inside the booth

Gently closing the courtyard gate, Yang walked straight towards the Imperial Garden villa complex

The captain gazed into the void, his right hand trembling slightly, as if murmuring to himself: "Because Meicheng still has a divine level!"

Yang Yi gently snapped the opponent's neck; he held no fondness for the people of the Neon Country

Yang Yi stared at the time on his phone and murmured, "It should be enough time for the captain to find me. Alright, it should be lively here; today is not suitable for a challenge, I will come back tomorrow"

These individuals are not from Group 9, nor are they tracking me

Captain, what should we do? Should we send someone over?

On the ground, within a radius of several dozen meters, the hard marble is covered with dense, spider web-like cracks, vividly illustrating the terrifying limits of human power

The captain angrily exclaimed: "Hmph, these little devils still dare to use such despicable tricks at this point! Although this matter does not fall under the jurisdiction of our Group Nine, since it involves Longteng Group and Neon, report it to the director immediately"

The Longteng Group? It is indeed one of the top hundred super groups in the Fortune Global 500 rankings? Moreover, it is one of the few privately-owned enterprises in China that made it to the Fortune 500. No wonder she is so beautiful; no one dares to approach her.

The entire earth is shaking, as if an earthquake has occurred, and the villa is swaying from side to side; this is merely the result of Old Li's single step.

Upon seeing the old man, Yang Yi slightly nodded and cupped his hands in greeting, saying: "Old Li!"

Gently walked into the room, where a spirit tablet was placed under the dim yellow light

Yang Yi slightly shook her head, a look of regret appearing in her eyes

This is a placeholder text.

All of this is related to Yang Yi

Martial artists are always filled with passion. Although Mr. Li is not young anymore, he remains a standard martial arts master

However, after the death of his adoptive father, the times had changed; there was no longer any war, and everyone aspired to lead a peaceful life. Except for Yang Yi, the others had abandoned the dying wishes of their adoptive father and lived as ordinary people, leading mundane lives. Only Yang Yi did not forget his adoptive father's instructions. Thus, he joined the Safe Group 9, enduring silently, with the hope of one day getting close to Yamamoto and fulfilling his adoptive father's wishes

Captain Zhang opened his mouth but was unable to utter a word

These individuals are monitoring Lin Shan; her grandfather is the chairman of Longteng Group. Someone is taking risks and plotting against her!

The captain's expression was serious as he said in a low voice: "Yang Yi wants to convey something to us through this method, so we must send someone, and it must be done quickly"

Captain, after investigation, it has been confirmed that both corpses are employees of Dongtian Group. Furthermore, the scrap metal on the ground has been examined and is determined to be two handguns, which bear the fingerprints of both corpses as well as those of Yang Yi. These two handguns have been twisted into this shape by a powerful force

Yang Yi

"How strange, why has Yang Yi been standing in front of the fountain for three days? And he remains so still, like a monk or a Taoist priest." Lin Shan blinked her beautiful big eyes, curiously observing the man below.

Snap

The reverse flow of vital energy and blood caused the heart to momentarily stop, as if it were about to explode. It resembled a high-speed rotating wheel that suddenly halted and even reversed direction. What immense force must this generate?

Oh my, is this still a human? It is truly terrifying. Is this what is considered divine level?

As dawn broke, Yang Yi had already begun practicing martial arts in the courtyard. Every movement of his body was executed with utmost seriousness, and he handled both heavy and light tasks with remarkable ease. When the situation called for strength, even the bluestone floor was shattered beneath him; when it required delicacy, not even a single leaf was crushed underfoot.

Lin Shan appeared very happy, taking Yang Yi's hand without regard for whether Yang Yi was willing, and directly pulled Yang Yi towards the nearby café.

Villa community

This force is immeasurable; blood flowed from the seven orifices of Yang Yi, his expression twisted in a terrifying grimace, as he struck a powerful punch towards Old Li

Above the master lies the void; a person is simply a person, and nothing more will exist.

However, in an instant, a large mouthful of fresh blood spurted from Li Lao's mouth. His body did not feel any pain; instead, his fist struck Yang Yi, instantly shattering ribs and internal organs.

Bang

It involves Dongtian Group and is also related to Lin Shan. That's all; I believe the captain can resolve this matter! Yang Yi casually made a phone call, not saying anything, just keeping the line open.

Someone exclaimed in astonishment that this is a high-end restaurant, and those who can enter here must at least have some assets; in the entire Meicheng, they are all successful individuals

"Foster father, I have fulfilled your wishes and avenged you! The Sakura Duo was on the verge of killing me, but I broke through in the face of life and death, truly reaching the realm of a martial arts master. Later, I killed the Sakura Duo and came here, with the members of Team Nine following me; I have always been aware of this. Having completed your task, I have only one wish left: to see if there is a legendary path beyond that of a master. Therefore, I must duel with a martial arts master from Meicheng. Regardless of life or death, this is my only wish..."

Thus, after listening to Lin Shan's endless chatter for an hour, Yang Yi stood up and said to Lin Shan: "Alright, it's getting late, I have things to attend to, see you next time. By the way, please don't follow me around and take pictures anymore"

Captain, Yang Yi can be considered god-level; with his abilities, he would certainly know that we have also arrived. So why is he still here?

Yang Yi's body instantly softened, and the colors in his eyes faded away. He never saw whether there was a path beyond the master level until his death

Alright, do not act rashly; ascertain his intentions. It would be best to capture him in one fell swoop. If that is not feasible, we can resolve the matter on the spot. We must not allow him to cause significant harm

The two men took out their phones and whispered, "Captain, Yang Yi has lost track!"

Turning off his phone, Yang Yi casually took out the SIM card and tossed it by the roadside. He knew that if he did not discard this SIM card, his "https://www.hetushucomcom colleagues" would quickly find him.

Intense exercise made Yang Yi break into a sweat, leaving him feeling particularly refreshed

Yang Yi moved, as if he were a fierce wild beast, exuding a powerful aura from his entire being. With a shake of his fists into the void, the air seemed to be shaken apart, rippling like water, revealing layer upon layer of waves.

I still want to give it a try, Old Li, this is my only wish, and it is also the wish of all of us martial artists

Captain, I have already checked that Dongtian Group and Longteng Group have a business relationship worth over one hundred billion dollars. However, recently, the two groups have been unable to reach a satisfactory outcome on this issue. Moreover, through surveillance, it has been observed that these two individuals from Neon Country have been secretly following Miss Lin for quite some time.

Hmm? Is there a gun?

Yang Yi was once an elite member of Security Group 9 and immediately made a judgment

How could it possibly be discovered? It is five miles away from the park here

Old Li appeared particularly exhilarated; over the years, he had never encountered a martial artist who could engage in such a vigorous and exhilarating exchange with him.

Counterattack!

Yang's eyes turned cold: "Is it a neon person?"

Shortly after Yang Yi left, members of Security Team Nine arrived and discovered two bodies around the café.

Yang raised an eyebrow, and a hint of murderous intent appeared on his cold face. In China, it is quite difficult for ordinary people to obtain firearms, and even gangs find it challenging. The regulation of firearms in China is very stringent. The fact that these two individuals possess guns indicates that they are not ordinary.

Call!

Master Yang Yi has passed away. In another world, a brand new Yang Yi will carry the regrets of this life and seek the ultimate in a vast world beyond his imagination. There, being a master is merely the beginning

Yang Yi sat quietly on the ground. Ever since he reached the Master level, he has been able to control the flow of his vital energy and blood, even reversing it to unleash unparalleled power in an instant. This is the unique skill he developed after attaining the Master level. However, it is also a technique that inflicts significant self-harm, as reversing the flow of vital energy and blood will also severely injure him.

Lin Shan was among them, her big eyes blinking in disbelief as she watched the battle between the two outside, seemingly forgetting even to film.

Mr. Duchuan is the overall head of the Huaxia region for Dongtian Group. Currently, Dongtian Group is engaged in significant business dealings with Longteng Group, but both parties are having some difficulties reaching an agreement. Therefore, Mr. Duchuan has asked us to focus on Lin Shan

It can be said that Yang Yi, wherever he goes, will be regarded as a top-level figure of terror. Even if the members of Security Group Nine discover him, they must not act rashly. When it comes to a god-like individual, if there is no absolute certainty in killing him, then one must never take action. Otherwise, even an entire nation would be troubled by the consequences

At the moment when Lin Shan was feeling frustrated, in an inconspicuous corner of the park, two ordinarily dressed men also displayed expressions of surprise on their faces

Lin Shan could go on endlessly about it, but in reality, Yang Yi has touched upon various aspects. Which martial artist who has reached the level of a Grandmaster has not drawn from a wide range of sources? His adoptive father taught him Bagua, but later, while in Security Group Nine, Yang Yi also learned various martial arts, truly blending them together to become a Grandmaster of martial arts

Young people, there is no road left, beyond the master there is no road left

Lin Shan gazed intently at Yang Yi, who resembled a whirlwind. The shadow of this man, whom she had only met a few times, seemed to have been deeply etched in her heart, an imprint that could never be erased

Yang Yi clearly remembers that when he was young, it was his adoptive father who took them in. From the first to the thirteenth, they all took the surname Yang from their master. Yang Yi was the first, hence he is called Yang Yi

Call!

Yang Yi recalled his adoptive father, who was originally a well-known martial artist. However, he later chose to remain in seclusion. Yang Yi's martial arts skills were also taught to him by his adoptive father during his childhood

Yang Yi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and he shook his head lightly, saying, "There is no need to thank me for the last incident; anyone would have acted in such a situation."

Yang Yi and Master Li, both of whom are master-level figures, fully unleashed their fists and feet. With a single punch, even the hardest wall would be shattered, and with a single kick, no matter how solid the ground, it would be crushed.

Bang

A beautiful young girl dressed in a green short shirt walked into a high-end restaurant, and the people in the restaurant immediately turned their attention to this youthful and stunning girl. It was not for any other reason, but simply because she was extraordinarily beautiful, radiating an aura of youth and vibrant energy.

The two individuals hesitated with their gazes, and in an instant, Yang struck one of them with a punch, directly turning his head into a pulp, resulting in his death

This is a group of luxury villas of standard caliber, where the residents are either wealthy or of high status, all of whom hold significant social standing.

Although Lin Shan is the daughter of the Longteng Group, she enjoys adventure and exploration, often traveling across the country with a camera in hand. On her way back this time, she boarded a long-distance bus, but midway through the journey, she encountered robbers

Wow, martial artist, what do you practice? Xingyi, Bagua, or Tai Chi? I have studied Tai Chi before

"Counter-kill? Self-created, good, good, good!"

So beautiful, even more so than those jade-like starlets on television. She seems to be only around twenty years old. How is it that I didn't know there was such an exquisite beauty in Meicheng?

The dialogue between the two individuals is, in fact, a battle, albeit one of psychological warfare

The villa complex appeared very quiet today, with not a single guard outside. Yang, with sharp eyes, spotted a figure hidden behind the house. A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, yet he did not stop; instead, he walked into the villa complex.

Is this Yang Yi? So he is such an impressive person

You all come back, there is no need to follow him anymore, you cannot keep up with him either

A middle-aged man beside her curled his lip and said: "You don't know this young lady? Let me tell you, don't even think about her. Do you know who she is? She is Lin Shan, the granddaughter of the chairman of Longteng Group. You should weigh your own worth carefully."

Another person trembled in fear and stammered, "Please don't kill me, I will tell you that it was Mr. Du Chuan who instructed us to monitor Lin Shan."

To practice martial arts, one must possess a certain awareness; either one kills or is killed, with no other options available. Old Li feels no regret at all, for he has long since attained this awareness

Whoosh

Yang Yi stepped out of the café, but his gaze slightly sharpened as he noticed two suspicious individuals lurking around the café.

The nine members hidden in the shadows widened their eyes, filled with disbelief

Return, obey the command

Therefore, I will never die under a bullet

After hanging up the phone, the captain appeared somewhat despondent, as if everything were merely a dream. A month ago, the dangerous individual they are now pursuing with full force was one of his most capable subordinates.

The two individuals engaged in a question-and-answer exchange, resembling a form of Zen dialogue, leaving bystanders perplexed.

It is evident without further inquiry that the despicable tactics commonly employed by the people of the Neon Nation are resorted to when they cannot achieve their objectives through legitimate business means, leading them to utilize these underhanded and contemptible methods to attain their goals

You ... ...

Before I finished speaking, I saw the captain wave his hand and say: "No need, I already know where he is going!"

Old Li said lightly: "Yang Yi, I am already aware of your matters"

In front of the villa stood an elderly man, also dressed in a Zhongshan suit. This old man appeared quite thin, with his temples slightly bulging, and his complexion was rosy, exuding a vibrant spirit.

From the very beginning, Yang Yi had already made up his mind; his life was to end here, and he would uphold the dignity of a martial artist, never succumbing to death by a bullet

Yang Yi charged directly at Old Li, without any warning, as still as a statue yet as swift as a startled rabbit. His entire body was filled with a surge of energy, flowing powerfully towards his fist. If one were to observe closely, it would appear as though Yang Yi's fist had swelled slightly, which was due to the fullness of his vital energy.

Swish swish

I am a martial artist

A month ago, a significant event occurred in Neon Country: the assassination of Yamamoto, the founder of a renowned conglomerate. Yamamoto was not only a businessman but also a highly respected public figure in Neon Country, with close ties to the political arena. His death nearly triggered a political earthquake within the country and even caused a sensation worldwide

Good, well done!

The captain's expression appeared somewhat serious as he took out his phone and made a mysterious call: "Director, it has now been confirmed that Yang Yi has arrived in Meicheng, and he has already been here for three days."

Lin Shan's face flushed with embarrassment; she thought she had been very discreet, but unexpectedly, Yang had known all along.

As the door opened, there stood the captain of the Security Team Nine, along with numerous armed personnel from Team Nine.

How did you get here? Come on, you saved me last time, and I haven't thanked you yet. There's a café not far from here; let me treat you to coffee

Not far from the restaurant is a park, where a man sits cross-legged in front of the fountain, his eyes slightly closed, resembling an old monk in meditation. Passersby have become accustomed to this sight, and some even boldly take photographs with their cameras, yet the man does not object.

This Li Lao is precisely the purpose of Yang Yi's visit today. He is the legendary guard who saved countless leaders of Huaxia during the war years, and he is also one of the only two martial arts grandmasters in Huaxia at present

Huaxia, Meicheng, this is a highly commercialized city. People in the twenty-first century adhere to the concept that time is money, and the footsteps on the streets are always so hurried, as if there is never a moment to pause

Certainly, in the adjacent villa, there are also many armed police deployed, all fully equipped as if facing a formidable enemy. The people inside the villa are equally astonished, watching this battle that does not belong to humanity.

The two individuals were about to point at Yang Yi, but in the blink of an eye, their hands relaxed, and their guns were unexpectedly seized by Yang Yi in an instant, so swiftly that they could not even see it happen

The closest to Li Lao's villa is a large Western-style villa, which is guarded by more than ten armed police officers, encircling the owner of the villa inside.

Dressed appropriately, Yang Yi once again offered a stick of incense before the spirit tablet of his adoptive father

Inside a villa, various precision instruments are arranged in a spacious room, where more than ten individuals are busily engaged with the complex equipment. These individuals are elite members of the Ninth Group of the Huaxia Security Bureau, typically an elite team tasked with responding to various major emergencies. However, today they seem to be on high alert, hiding in this small villa as if facing a formidable enemy

At this moment, Old Li seemed to have returned to his youth, his body becoming incredibly light, and he exuded a terrifying aura that was different from his usual self, as he forcefully stomped one foot onto the ground

However, Captain, we ... ...

She has been following a man named Yang Yi for more than ten days. Lin Shan first met Yang Yi on an ordinary long-distance bus.

In the domestic scene, the ace agents known as the Cherry Blossom Duo were deployed. It is said that these two have never failed in their missions, with combat capabilities rated as "terrifying". However, they were ultimately discovered dead at the dock, leading to Yang Yi's name being secretly circulated across various countries, gaining immense fame and being rated as "divine".

The combat capability of an average person is classified as ordinary level, while trained special forces or agents are considered to be at the expert level. Certain masters of traditional martial arts also fall into the expert category. Above the expert level is the terror level, which includes the elite agents of various countries, known for their formidable combat prowess

Boom

Time stood still as two fists collided. Old Li had already closed his eyes, fully aware that the terrifying power behind Yang's punch was beyond his ability to withstand

This is not all; Yang Yi seemed to have gone mad, frantically assassinating various individuals within the neon-lit country. However, upon closer investigation, it would be revealed that all these individuals were involved in a comprehensive invasion war several decades ago

This punch, even unleashed a shockwave, was incredibly fierce

Lin Shan appeared poised and confident, looking at Yang Yi and said: "You don't seem very old; are you still in university?"

Lin Shan noticed that Yang Yi's eyes lit up as soon as the previous incident was mentioned, and hurriedly asked: "You are truly impressive. Last time, there were four armed robbers, and you managed to take them down effortlessly with your bare hands. Have you practiced martial arts?"

This punch has already surpassed the limits, as if the air itself has been forcibly compressed, unable to produce any explosive sound. This punch has transcended even the masters, moving even Old Li.

Yang Yi took out a piece of paper from his bosom, which was densely filled with names, each of which was crossed out with a red line. Yang Yi set the paper on fire, watching it burn to ashes, and knelt before the spirit tablet: "Foster father, I have avenged you. The culprits who killed your loved ones back then are all dead. Not a single name from the list you provided us back then is still alive."

Boom

But I want to know, I want to try it myself, is there a path beyond that of the master

"Foster father, perhaps this is the last time I will offer incense to you, but I must go; this is my only wish. Perhaps after this, I will come to accompany you..."

He named the single move he created for himself "Reverse Kill"

Li Lao was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Haha, good, good, good! To conquer others, one must first conquer their hearts, indeed, indeed. It is true that the fist fears the young and strong; just looking at this momentum, it seems that this old bone of mine is going to fall here today"
