Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 2177 - 2240: Conjoined Twins

The woman called Killing Star is not even alive; or rather, her mind, her soul is already dead, at least most of it. And yet the mummified child she holds in her arms is still alive...

This sounds terrifying and bizarre, and seeing it with his own eyes, Li Yifei initially felt something was off, but the fact proved his suspicion correct. The woman was actually a mummy, her body incredibly rigid, and has likely evolved to a certain extent. Yet the child in her arms is a living being, even though it superficially resembles a mummy. The child, due to being underdeveloped, cannot move on its own, so it attaches to the female mummy, controlling her to move and hunt for food to sustain it.

Li Yifei had never encountered such horrifying and evil things, so even after confirming it, he still felt shocked. After hitting the child several times, he finally managed to injure it.

That punch earlier didn’t make the mummy woman back off because her corpse is too tough. Who knows how long she’s been refining... 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Now that you’ve discovered it, you shall die. The people I wish to kill never survive," said Killing Star with her head slightly lowered, her voice terrifying.

Li Yifei snapped his fingers and said, "The people I wish to kill rarely survive either. But now you’re no different from a corpse, needing to continually consume blood to stay alive. What meaning is there in that?"

"You! I’ll kill you!" The opponent roared, charging at Li Yifei, who then discovered that the woman’s other hand was free, previously holding the child.

Li Yifei’s fist emanated Astral Wind, the infusion of True Qi doubling his strength. Facing the monkey-like charging Killing Star, Li Yifei still confronted her head-on. Unlike before, this time he targeted the child on her chest, punch after punch, until the opponent was injured despite her frenzy.

Of course, considering its bizarre nature, it’s likely that injuries can be swiftly recovered by absorbing copious amounts of blood food.

Li Yifei was slightly injured too, his fist bleeding. Wiping it away with a corner of his shirt, he noticed that the wound remained black...

Damn, poisoned? Li Yifei’s eyes widened. What kind of poison is this? He felt nothing, yet the wound was turning black, a small patch slowly expanding.

Seeing Li Yifei’s action, Killing Star let out a gloating laugh from her throat, raised her hand, and pointed at Li Yifei, saying, "Even if you’re powerful, being infected by me means you shouldn’t expect to survive. Unless you can find a suitable body like me, it won’t be long before you turn into a corpse."

"Really?" Li Yifei wiped his hand and tore off his shirt.

Behind him, Wu Shuwei, alarmed by what the opponent said, was shocked as she’d been wondering why Li Yifei suddenly stopped fighting; turns out he was poisoned.

"Yifei..."

"It’s fine, don’t move," Li Yifei gestured with his hand and then looked at Killing Star, saying, "Are you sure this poison is effective on me?"

"Ha ha, I know there’s a powerful energy in your body, perhaps making you immune to all poisons, but this one isn’t exactly a poison. It’s alive, feeding on the flesh and blood of the living. Unless you turn into something like me, it’s impossible to survive, and turning into this isn’t something that just happens— it requires a lot of luck!"

"Really?" Li Yifei gathered True Qi in his right hand, continuously expelling the blood. Yet, he truly couldn’t sense the poison, having no way to expel it. However, Li Yifei wasn’t too panicked since the Witch Worm hadn’t reacted— if it were life-threatening, it would instantly alert him.

"Ha ha ha." Killing Star laughed maniacally. Meanwhile, Li Yifei moved, swiftly rushing to her side, delivering a punch to her neck, breaking her annoying small voice. The next second, a half-meter-long knife suddenly appeared in his hand, resembling a smaller version of the True Qi Blade, thrust into the baby’s body.

Killing Star clearly didn’t expect Li Yifei to suddenly strike. While she was still gloating, Li Yifei completed the entire action. The True Qi Blade was not only incredibly sharp but also had a strong destructive capability. A stab into the body not only creates a massive wound, but as it is condensed by True Qi, it also has a burning effect, and Li Yifei could even hear the sizzling sound!

"You... you!" Killing Star’s eyes widened, her body trembling violently. When Li Yifei withdrew the True Qi Blade, it had already shrunk considerably, and the wound hardly bled. He rapidly stabbed it back again.

With the second thrust, Killing Star finally began resisting, her hands striking Li Yifei. Enduring the pain, Li Yifei quickly pulled out and thrust in the blade. Repeating this several times, Killing Star eventually went limp and was killed by Li Yifei before she could utter a word.

Her body was still slightly trembling, while the True Qi Blade in Li Yifei’s hand vanished. Shaking off the disgusting stuff on his hand, with a trace of disgust in his eyes, he said, "A mere monster dares to try and kill me!"

"Yifei, how are you? Let me see your hand." Wu Shuwei rushed over and, while speaking, grabbed his hand. Sure enough, there was the wound, originally the size of a pen tip, now ringed by black, having expanded to the size of a pill. This spreading speed was very fast, considering how little time had passed.

"This... why did she want to kill us..." Wu Shuwei’s eyes welled with tears, having heard what the person said earlier. If it were true, wouldn’t Li Yifei be in mortal danger?

"It’s not you she wants to kill, it’s me. When I went to save that Bare-ass General earlier, I killed several African witch doctors. As a result, before one died, he seemed to have cast a curse or something that led other witch doctors to come after me!" Li Yifei explained.

Wu Shuwei quickly said, "How did they know we were here?"

"A special method, I’m not quite sure how it works, but the fact that this person came proves that it’s real..."

"Then... should you heal first? I’ll watch around, hurry up and use that... True Qi to expel the poison, don’t let anything happen!"

"I’ll try, but it’s not safe here anymore, we should leave as soon as possible. It’s best to leave Africa quickly, as long as we leave Africa, those people won’t be able to cause trouble anymore." Li Yifei said.

Wu Shuwei nodded firmly, helped Li Yifei sit on a rock, urging him to heal and expel the poison. She didn’t know where she found a stick, held it in her hand, turning her body as if she was guarding the surroundings.

Li Yifei glanced at his finger and noticed the wound had expanded again. His finger emitted a stream of True Qi, preparing to cut off the entire wound, but he hesitated because he couldn’t feel the poison or whatever kind of living worm it was.

Was the other party deceiving him? Li Yifei certainly didn’t want to end up like them, living parasitically, like a living corpse!

"Don’t be nervous, those poisoned crocodiles and such wouldn’t dare to come over. You’re tired too, just sit next to me and rest." Before expelling the poison, Li Yifei comforted Wu Shuwei.

"No. I’ll protect you!" Wu Shuwei stubbornly said.

"Alright, then I’ll be quick."

After speaking, Li Yifei closed his eyes to prepare to expel the poison. However, after circulating True Qi for a while, he still didn’t detect the toxin, feeling somewhat perplexed and thinking when suddenly Li Yifei sensed danger again.

He opened his eyes, not looking at the Killing Star, who was already dead, but behind him. Under the moonlight, a figure was swiftly descending the mountain, moving as fast, if not faster, than him. Within a few kilometers, the person would likely arrive soon.

Li Yifei stood up. He hadn’t expelled the poison because he couldn’t find it, yet the black circle on his hand had expanded to the size of a bottle cap!

Wu Shuwei heard a sound, hurriedly turned her head, and asked, "How is it, did you expel it?"

"No, it should be trying to scare me!" Li Yifei said.

"But... but it’s expanding! It’s quite obvious." Wu Shuwei raised Li Yifei’s hand to show him.

"I don’t know either, but someone’s coming. They might be here to cause trouble for me too." Li Yifei said.

"Someone else?"

"Over there." Li Yifei pointed in a direction. Sure enough, the person ran quickly, slowing down at around two hundred meters away.

One person, two people? Li Yifei frowned, seeing two heads in the distance, yet it looked like one person. Once they got closer, Li Yifei saw clearly that it was indeed two people, but their bodies were conjoined.

Conjoined twins? Wu Shuwei couldn’t help but cover her mouth in surprise. Conjoined twins were one thing, but how could they run so fast, pounding like an elephant running?

"Haha, I told you he was here but you didn’t believe me, insisting he was by the lake." When the conjoined twins slowed down, the head on the right laughed arrogantly, and the left head spat, saying, "You said he was over there, I said he’s here."

"My, Agu’s, judgment is true."

"Get lost, I’m Agu. Is that name yours?"

The conjoined twins ran over here and started arguing. The argument escalated, with the two punching each other, their fists pounding loudly, making it sound like thunder.

Li Yifei frowned while watching these two. He sensed strong witchcraft from them, radiating every time their fists collided, but... even if the witchcraft was strong, it shouldn’t emanate when they’re hitting each other...

No, when these two hit each other, it seemed like witchcraft was spreading all over, but it should be a form of cultivation, continuously refining their bodies to become stronger. Li Yifei’s eyes narrowed as he saw the two suddenly stop and turn to glare at him.
