Not a Single Worthy Opponent

Li Yao was a little excited.

After so long, had the so-called "villain" finally appeared? Was it the Space-Time Administration?

The Clock Tower? Or the Heavenly Net!

Lost in his fantasies, Li Yao couldn't control the smile that gradually crept across his face, becoming somewhat strange. When he caught sight of Li Shishi cowering in the corner, he put on what he thought was a warm smile and said, "Are you scared?"

Li Shishi nodded.

Li Yao smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Those were supposed to be comforting words, but the expression on Li Shishi's face became even more awkward—it's because you're here that I'm scared!

Li Yao asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Li Shishi pointed at Li Yao's face, "You, your smile is a little scary."

"Eh? Is it?" Li Yao leaned forward to look at himself in the rearview mirror. "Holy crap, it really is." What was with this twisted sense of anticipation? He rubbed his face, restoring his expression to normal. At that moment, four people stepped out of the two cars blocking Li Shishi, surrounding their vehicle, their waists bulging... with unknown weapons.

Li Yao released his spiritual energy, and his expression turned somewhat disappointed after probing.

They were all ordinary people.

His spirit was already very powerful compared to ordinary people, able to keenly sense spiritual energy fluctuations. The four burly men surrounding the car were all ordinary people, with no spiritual energy fluctuations on their bodies. Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that they had the ability or equipment to hide their aura, or that their strength was too high for him to perceive? Li Yao wasn't sure; that's how it was in many novels anyway.

He turned to Li Shishi beside him and asked, "Are they your enemies?"

Then he heard a muffled voice from outside, "We're looking for Mr. Li Yao. Please come out and talk. We mean no harm."

Li Shishi: "..."

Li Yao: "..."

This was just too awkward.

Both Li Shishi and Li Yao felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Li Shishi turned to Li Yao beside her and asked, "Are they your enemies?"

Li Yao's face darkened instantly.

Old buddy, are you doing this on purpose! Is it funny!

After thinking for a moment, Li Yao took out a thermos from his backpack, unscrewed it, and prepared to open the car door and get out.

Li Shishi was bewildered.

What was he doing, getting out of the car with a thermos? Was he channeling his inner old cadre? She grabbed Li Yao and said, "Why don't we wait, call the police, or try to ask for help."

In the Provincial Capital, she still had some influence.

Li Yao patted Li Shishi's hand and said, "They can still talk nicely now, but that might not be the case in a little while. I'll go take a look. Relax."

After speaking, Li Yao pushed the door open and got out of the car.

Watching Li Yao's back, Li Shishi inexplicably felt that he was very confident, but where did that confidence come from? That young man was just a junior in college; where would he get the courage to deal with these things! Li Shishi clenched her phone and sent her location to her assistant; she should be able to arrive soon with the company's security force.

Hopefully, it's not too late!

Li Yao got out of the car and scanned the burly men blocking the way. These men had stern faces, vigilant and fierce eyes, and their bulging muscles stretched their black suits taut.

They were exuding a lot of pressure! Li Yao asked, "Do I know you? What do you want from me?"

One of the burly men said, "You don't know us. We're here to ask you to come with us."

Very formal and polite.

Li Yao asked again, "Which unit are you from, or what organization?"

The leading man in black paused.

When the young man held a thermos and asked those old-fashioned questions, he thought he was facing an old cadre. Damn it, he was a college student; where did he get this ghostly old cadre aura! The man in black suppressed this stylistic discomfort and said stiffly, "It's not convenient to tell you. Please come with us."

Li Yao pondered for two seconds and said, "I won't."

The man in black: "..."

He was starting to find him a little cute... The man in black frowned slightly and walked towards Li Yao, "I'm afraid that's not up to you."

Li Yao had been waiting for this moment. He suddenly raised his hand, and the liquid in the thermos shot out like a viper ready to strike. With a "pop," it splattered the black-clothed man's face before he could react. Startled, the man jumped back and wiped his face, exclaiming, "What is this stuff?!"

The sound of rushing water filled the air as the four black-clothed men who had gotten out of the car stared blankly at each other.

What the hell was that?! Then, they felt their heads getting heavy, and their eyelids grew heavier and heavier—Damn it, we've been hit.

Those were their last thoughts before losing consciousness.

Seeing their companions fall to the ground, the men in the remaining cars rushed out, this time armed with weapons hidden in their waistbands—stun batons. They pressed the switches, and crackling electricity danced at the tips of the batons, looking quite intimidating. Wielding the batons, they cautiously approached Li Yao as if on a hunt, clueless as to how their companions had been taken down! Li Yao, wearing a blank expression, thought, Are you kidding me?!

Stun batons? Seriously! Can't you guys have a little bit of villainous flair!

Where are the guns!? Okay, those are hard to come by, but wouldn't a knife be more appropriate? Stun batons? What's with that? If not, get a taser!

You're playing S&M with me! All his expectations had been dashed. Forget about the high-end stuff from the Space-Time Administration; these guys were way too down-to-earth, using stun batons as weapons. He had never seen such unreliable villains. Li Yao waved his hand, and the currents of Spiritual Energy hidden in the darkness instantly transformed into four strands, ensnaring the right hands of the four men.

The arcs of electricity on the stun batons intertwined with the flowing water, conducting the current into their hands through the water bridge.

As a result, the black-clothed men holding the stun batons instantly stiffened and collapsed to the ground with a thud, convulsing.

When electrocuted, muscles involuntarily spasm and contract, so the men gripped the stun baton switches tightly, as if they were their worst enemies…

Li Yao looked around, a sense of loneliness washing over him.

Not a single one who can fight! I've really outdone myself. Time to rest my hips for a while. JPG.

To avoid fatalities, Li Yao released the Mage Hand, and the flowing water dispersed. The black-clothed men holding the stun batons finally stopped convulsing. Their lives were not in danger, but their faces were pale, and the lingering effects of the electricity caused them to twitch occasionally. Li Yao summoned another stream of water and poured a mouthful into each of them, ensuring they wouldn't wake up prematurely.

Inside the car, Li Shishi had been clutching her phone tightly. She had vaguely heard the conversation outside, as well as the sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground. Then, several arcs of electricity flashed, and a few more people inexplicably collapsed…

She was inside the car, and it was dark outside, so she didn't know what was happening.

She only felt that something was strange.

Before long, she heard Li Yao knock on the car window, "It's okay, it's all taken care of."

Li Shishi opened the car door a crack with suspicion, using the low beams to see several people lying sprawled on the ground.

Her face was filled with surprise, "How did you do that?!"

Today is National Day, I hope everyone didn't travel… otherwise it would be a sea of peop
