128: Chapter 128 Qin Yi relentlessly pursues Chen Mo, who then concedes defeat!

Shen Jianan had been watching the battle between Qin Yi and the man in black, known as Brother Mo, with intense anxiety. Her hands were clenched into tight fists, her knuckles white from the strain, and fine beads of sweat had broken out on her forehead. Her eyes were filled with deep concern.

At that moment, Chen Mo’s footwork became as unpredictable as a phantom. Then, with a sudden movement, he seemed to transform into an invisible ghost in the blink of an eye, vanishing without a trace before everyone's eyes. Even the air where he had just stood seemed to stagnate for a moment, leaving only an afterimage behind.

However, when he reappeared like a specter, he was already behind Qin Yi. A cunning smirk played on his lips as he let out a cold laugh and threw a punch toward Qin Yi's back.

Seeing this, Shen Jianan’s breath nearly hitched. She shouted a warning in desperation, "Qin Yi, watch your back!"

At the same time, Su Mo’s eyes were also filled with worry. She watched Qin Yi tensely, her heart in her throat. Her hands were instinctively clasped together in prayer, her nails almost digging into her palms. Her face was etched with concern for Qin Yi's safety, completely forgetting about the life or death of Wang Hao, whom she had knocked unconscious on the floor.

On the other hand, almost at the same moment Shen Jianan shouted her warning, Qin Yi keenly sensed the movement behind him.

The instant Chen Mo appeared behind him, Qin Yi clearly felt the air behind him being compressed by an invisible force. Immediately after, a sharp and fierce gust of air surged toward him, aimed straight at his back.

Qin Yi’s eyes narrowed instantly, and his internal strength erupted. He bent his legs and kicked off the ground with force, using the momentum to leap into the air. He then performed a magnificent 180-degree turn, the movement fluid and seamless, showcasing his profound martial arts foundation. Meanwhile, his legs didn't stop; he tucked them in, muscles tensing, and kicked out powerfully behind him, creating a gust of wind.

Chen Mo hadn't expected Qin Yi to have such incredible reaction speed. His expression turned exceptionally solemn in that instant, and he furrowed his brows, shouting fiercely, "Die!" His fist whistled through the air, carrying a strong killing intent.

Immediately after, Chen Mo’s full-strength punch collided solidly with Qin Yi’s kicking feet. A thunderous "boom" echoed, and the air inside the suite seemed to tremble from the impact. The resulting shockwave was so powerful that Brother Dao and the group of thugs watching from the side were knocked to the ground, tumbling over each other in sheer terror.

Qin Yi felt a force like an overwhelming tidal wave surge through the soles of his feet. Since his body was still in mid-air, he had nowhere to disperse the force. Upon clashing with Chen Mo’s sudden heavy punch, his body was immediately sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, completely out of control.

With a loud "thud," Qin Yi’s body slammed heavily against the wall of the suite before falling to the floor, kicking up a cloud of dust. The tempered frosted glass wall shattered instantly upon impact, sending shards flying everywhere in a terrifying and heart-stopping scene.

As he lay on the ground, the blood in Qin Yi's body churned. Then, feeling an itch in his throat, he couldn't help but cough. To his surprise, that single cough caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood, which stained the floor a jarring shade of crimson.

Brother Dao and his lackeys watched, dumbfounded. Their faces were initially filled with shock and fear, but after a moment, this turned into joy and anticipation, as if they were seeing the dawn of their revenge.

A hideous grin spread across Brother Dao's face, and he couldn't help but jeer from the back, "Damn, what are you waiting for? Kill him while he's down! Everyone, get him! Kill this kid!"

"I dare any of you to try!" Hearing this, Shen Jianan immediately stood in front of Qin Yi, glaring at Brother Dao with eyes that flashed with determination.

Just as she was about to reveal her identity as a police officer to stop the fight, Chen Mo frowned slightly. He turned his head and looked coldly at Brother Dao, his eyes as sharp as a hawk's. He said in a deep voice, "If anyone dares to step forward, don't blame me for being merciless!"

Brother Dao, however, didn't want to miss this golden opportunity. He urged with a hint of urgency and anxiety, "Brother Mo, don't wait! The police will be here soon. Hurry up and cripple this kid!"

"Shut up! It's not your place to tell me what to do! If you say one more word, I'll cripple you first!" Chen Mo's voice carried a trace of impatience and anger. His gaze pierced Brother Dao like a sharp sword, making the latter shudder involuntarily.

Hearing this, Brother Dao immediately shut his mouth. His eager subordinates also retreated, not daring to make another Move.

"Qin Yi, how are you? Just hold on a bit longer, the police should be here soon!" Shen Jianan cried out anxiously, making a Move to check on Qin Yi's injuries, her eyes full of concern and worry.

However, Qin Yi raised his hand to stop her. He looked at the blood on the ground, and though a flicker of helplessness crossed his eyes, a bitter smile played on his lips.

He silently complained to the System, "Damn it, System, how is Chen Mo's movement technique so bizarre? Why did the Eye of Truth only show Hung Ga Kuen and not this strange movement technique?"

[Ding! To answer the host, it is possible that the opponent's movement technique belongs to a high-grade cultivation technique, which the Elementary Eye of Truth cannot detect!] The System's voice echoed in Qin Yi's mind.

"Damn, it's actually a high-grade cultivation technique! I can't even see him, how am I supposed to fight?" Qin Yi cursed inwardly, his brows furrowed. A trace of helplessness and frustration flashed in his eyes as he thought to himself: It looks like this System mission is going to fail...

Just as Qin Yi was feeling a bit discouraged, the System provided another explanation: [Ding! The host does not need to worry too much! Generally speaking, every use of a high-grade cultivation technique requires the consumption of a Martial Artist's blood-qi or Internal Energy; it cannot be used indefinitely. Furthermore, as the Martial Artist's blood-qi and Internal Energy decrease, the effectiveness of the high-grade cultivation technique will also diminish.]

Hearing this, a spark of inspiration flashed in Qin Yi's eyes, and he immediately had a plan. A cunning smile played on his lips as he thought: In that case, as long as I can dodge his attacks and force him to use that bizarre movement technique a few more times, wouldn't my chances of defeating him be much greater?!

Thinking of this, Qin Yi propped himself up and stood from the ground with a light chuckle. He raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at Shen Jianan, and said softly, "I'm fine. Step aside so I don't accidentally hurt you." With that, he gently pushed Shen Jianan to the side and then looked at Chen Mo with interest.

Qin Yi raised his hand and brushed the dust off his clothes, a look of disdain on his face. He spoke slowly, "Is this the extent of your strength?" His tone was full of mockery and contempt, as if he didn't care about Chen Mo's strength at all.

Chen Mo also looked at Qin Yi with a smile, assuming he was just being stubborn and acting tough. A cold sneer appeared on his face as he replied, "What? Kid, by the sound of it, you don't seem convinced?"

"Haha," Qin Yi laughed, his expression revealing curiosity and defiance. He replied, "Your strength is just so-so. However, that movement technique of yours is quite interesting. I wonder if it has a name?"

Chen Mo sneered, "You have a decent eye! But if you want to know the name of my movement technique, then defeat me. As long as you can beat me, I'll tell you!"

Hearing this, a spark of Battle Intent flashed in Qin Yi's eyes. He laughed loudly, "Haha, fine! Then take this!" With that, he no longer held back. He kicked off the ground with sudden force, his body shooting toward Chen Mo like a cannonball. His speed was so fast that even Chen Mo couldn't help but be startled.

This was the first time Qin Yi had fought a master at the Middle Stage of Ming Jin. Previously, because he wasn't sure of the exact strength, he had held back, using only about seventy percent of his power. After being caught by Chen Mo's full-strength sneak attack, he was no longer prepared to hold back. His six-dimensional attributes, which far exceeded those of a normal person, combined with his Middle Stage of Ming Jin strength, erupted all at once. His Aura surged abruptly.

In an instant, Qin Yi's speed and power underwent a noticeable transformation!

Chen Mo naturally felt the change in Qin Yi's Aura. His pupils constricted, and he didn't dare to be careless. He took a stance, waiting for a direct confrontation with Qin Yi!

The two of them each executed their respective fist techniques, their movements intertwining within the suite. The ferocity of Hung Ga Kuen and the agility of Xingyi Quan collided, producing heart-shaking sounds. Qin Yi and Chen Mo traded blows, fist meeting fist, and every collision caused the air in the suite to vibrate.

Shen Jianan had also practiced some martial arts, so she could naturally see the change in Qin Yi's Aura. Seeing the man in black gradually losing ground, she couldn't help but feel secretly relieved, and her heart finally began to settle.

[part:gemini-3.1-flash-lite]

However, she continued to watch the battle between the two nervously, her hands clenched together, nails nearly digging into her palms, praying for Qin Yi's victory.

During the fight against Chen Mo, Qin Yi deliberately exposed a few openings, luring Chen Mo into using that strange movement technique of his.

Yet every single time, it was as if Qin Yi had calculated everything perfectly, just barely dodging Chen Mo's charged strikes.

As Chen Mo used that strange movement technique too many times, his footwork began to become messy, and the speed and power of his punches also dropped. Soon, he fell into a disadvantage.

Conversely, Qin Yi fought with increasing vigor; his gaze grew sharper, and his fist and leg techniques became increasingly fierce.

After the two exchanged dozens more blows, Qin Yi finally seized an opening in Chen Mo's fist technique.

Qin Yi's eyes narrowed, his figure suddenly accelerated, and his fist, accompanied by a whistling sound, struck Chen Mo's chest solidly.

Chen Mo groaned in pain, a mouthful of blood spraying from his mouth as he stumbled back several steps. If not for the sofa blocking his path, Chen Mo would likely have crashed into that tempered frosted glass wall. He steadied himself, raised a hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, a flash of ferocity in his eyes. Staring intently at Qin Yi, he said coldly, "Not bad, kid, you've got some skills! To think you could actually find an opening in my defense! But, next time, you won't be so lucky!" As he said this, he prepared to launch a full-force counterattack.

However, Qin Yi now held the upper hand, so how could he possibly give him a chance to counterattack?

Qin Yi's fist momentum did not stop; the fist energy of his Xingyi Quan surged toward Chen Mo like a flash flood. He attacked with punch after punch, booming toward Chen Mo like a violent storm. At the same time, his tone revealed mockery and disdain as he retorted with a sneer, "Shut up. Haven't you heard the saying that villains die because they talk too much?"

"Hmph, arrogant!" Chen Mo snorted coldly, but hindered by Qin Yi's near-manic offensive, he could only hurriedly protect his chest with his hands and defend passively. Gradually, the helplessness in his eyes began to outweigh his anger.

Just at that moment, a man's voice suddenly came from the surveillance camera on the ceiling of the Imperial Suite, interrupting the battle between the two: "A-Mo, stop! The police are almost here, retreat!" This voice was like a lifeline, giving Chen Mo an excuse to retreat.

As soon as the voice fell, Chen Mo quickly retreated several steps, creating distance between himself and Qin Yi. He cupped his hands in a salute toward Qin Yi and said in a deep voice, "Kid, let's end this here for today. We shall meet again!"

Having said that, without waiting for Qin Yi to respond, Chen Mo used that strange movement technique again. Just as the System had said, after multiple uses, the effect was far worse than before; Qin Yi could track Chen Mo's swaying figure with his naked eye.

How could Qin Yi let Chen Mo off so easily? He still had a System task to complete!

His eyes narrowed, and his figure suddenly accelerated in pursuit of Chen Mo. Chen Mo's figure rushed quickly toward the window at the end of the third-floor corridor of the Nightlife Bar, and Qin Yi chased after him with all his might. Then, with a crash, the window beside the stairs shattered, and Chen Mo leaped down from the window.

Qin Yi followed closely behind, jumping out of the window without a second thought.

The shattered window drew screams from countless pedestrians nearby, and everyone looked up toward the third floor of the Nightlife Bar.

Qin Yi chased wildly for two or three blocks, finally cornering Chen Mo in an alley.

"Kid, are you, are you fucking kidding me? Won't you ever give up?" Chen Mo leaned against the wall, panting heavily, and looked at Qin Yi, speaking breathlessly.

"You can't leave. We must determine a winner today!" Qin Yi said, standing in front of Chen Mo, blocking his path to continue escaping.

Hearing this, Chen Mo frowned and said impatiently, "Damn, are you a martial arts fanatic, kid? I have things to do today, I don't have time to waste here with you." As he spoke, he turned to leave.

However, Qin Yi did not intend to let him go, a sly smile curling at the corner of his mouth as he said, "That depends on whether you have the ability to escape from my hands!"

Seeing this, Chen Mo sighed helplessly and said, "Fine, fine, fine, I give in to you. I admit defeat, is that enough?"

Just as Qin Yi was about to say something else, the System notification sound suddenly rang in his Sea of Consciousness. He was slightly stunned, and a surge of indescribable joy welled up in his heart.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the random System task — First encounter with an opponent of the same Realm! Successfully defeated the opponent, gained Strength +2, Agility +1, and one cultivation technique upgrade card, now placed in the System Space!]

As the System notification ended, Qin Yi's six-dimensional attributes improved once again. He felt as if the fatigue from the battle just now had been swept away, leaving him feeling refreshed all over.

However, in that split second he was stunned, Chen Mo once again unleashed that strange movement technique. There were no lights in the alley, and Qin Yi instantly lost track of Chen Mo.

Qin Yi sighed helplessly and had to shout into the depths of the alley, "Hey! You can't go back on your word; you haven't told me the name of your movement technique yet!"

"Mi… Zong… Gui… Bu!" Chen Mo's voice came from near to far.

Judging by the voice, Chen Mo must have already run far away. Qin Yi couldn't be bothered to chase him anymore, raised an eyebrow, and silently memorized the name of this movement technique.

With the System task complete, Qin Yi just wanted to rest for a moment, but the image of Shen Jianan and Su Mo still being at the Nightlife Bar suddenly flashed through his mind. He slapped his thigh hard, his anxiety evident on his face. He immediately turned around and sprinted toward the Nightlife Bar.

...

At the same time that Chen Mo broke the window and retreated, several police cars with flashing lights and blaring sirens drove into Changle Street. Following the police cars was an ambulance. It was the busiest time for Changle Street, and the arrival of these vehicles immediately drew a crowd of onlookers. They stopped one after another, curiously observing the scene.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the bar waiter's face changed drastically, and he immediately ran back into the bar. He rushed toward the third floor, arrived outside the Imperial Suite, and shouted at Brother Dao, "Boss, it's bad! Several police cars have arrived outside!"

Brother Dao's eyes rolled, and seeing that the kid surnamed Qin was gone and only these two women were in the suite, he feigned calmness and said, "What are you panicking about? We were acting in righteous self-defense!"

"Oh? Is that so? Righteous self-defense? I don't think so!" Just then, Shen Jianan stood up, glaring angrily at Brother Dao, a cold sneer curling at the corner of her mouth.

"You bitch, who the fuck are you? I'm warning you, don't cause trouble here!" Brother Dao shouted, flushed with anger. His face became ferocious, like a wild beast that had been provoked.

"Take a good look! I'm a police officer!" Shen Jianan said, taking out her badge and waving it in front of Brother Dao.

"You bitch, just because you say you're a police officer doesn't mean you are. Brothers, get her!" Seeing this, Brother Dao roared even more angrily. He waved his arms, inciting the thugs around him to charge at Shen Jianan.

Seeing Shen Jianan pull out her police badge, those thugs were a bit hesitant and didn't dare to step forward. However, under Brother Dao's threats and inducements, they had to bite the bullet and charge toward Shen Jianan. Shen Jianan had also trained; she was agile and her Moves were fierce. Ordinary thugs were naturally no match for her. Plus, fearing Shen Jianan's status as a police officer, they didn't dare to really try to kill her. Soon, those thugs were knocked down by Shen Jianan.

However, when Shen Jianan turned her head to look for Brother Dao again, his shadow was long gone. She frowned, a sense of unwillingness welling up in her heart!

...

Before the police rushed to the third floor, Brother Dao hurriedly ran back to his office. He closed the door, panting, and leaned against the door panel, his face as pale as paper. But at this moment, where was his boss's figure in the office? Disappearing along with him was the ledger of the Underground Bank!

Seeing this, Brother Dao didn't have time to think too much; he hurriedly opened the office window, vaulted out, and ran away along the fire escape from the back wall of the Nightlife Bar, his figure fading into the night.

At the same time, in the top-tier VIP suite of the Yaoye Club, Si Yao also received the news.

She put down the phone, frowned, looked at Xing Zhenkun, and said, "Brother Kun, something happened at the Nightlife Bar!"
