Despite not knowing what Bai Yunfei had in mind, Li Chengfeng still channeled his soulforce without saying a word, causing the flesh of his shoulder to wiggle slightly for a while. When he had already prepared his defense, he thought doubtfully to himself: “What did he mean? He wants to hit me with that brick? How can this kind of attack be effective against a soul cultivator? Or there’s something special about that brick? But no matter how I look at it, it’s just an ordinary brick…”
Just when he was still guessing to himself, Bai Yunfei walked up to his face and raised the brick in a simple manner without using any technique then smashed it down on his shoulder.
“Bang!”
“Ah!”
Before a soft collision sound could ring out completely, Li Chengfeng’s surprised, painful cry was heard. He unexpectedly could not help taking two steps backwards while massaging his left shoulder nonstop. As he grimaced in pain, he drew in breaths of cold air.
“How is this even possible?! Just now this brick… Yunfei, you didn’t use the Overlapping Waves Art, right? Just like the Threefold Thrust, this was… the Threefold Smack?” Li Chengfeng asked while staring at Bai Yunfei with a face full of bafflement. He had channeled his soulforce and made the pain in his left shoulder disappear.
“Smack my ass! Just now did I look like I was using a soul technique?” Bai Yunfei snapped then said to himself in an engrossed manner, “Um, but… Threefold Smack? Ha ha, I’ll think about it…”
Li Chengfeng was somewhat speechless. Such a powerful soul technique would really be applied to this brick?
“Yeah, let’s continue. This time you must defense yourself properly.” After thinking for a while, Bai Yunfei said again.
Li Chengfeng was stupefied: “We’ll still test it? What do you actually want to do? Alas… Alright, come hit me again.”
Just like before, Bai Yunfei hit Li Chengfeng’s shoulder with three continuous strikes. This time, Li Chengfeng had already prepared himself by strengthening his defense so despite still feeling a little pain, he did not even move half an inch. He looked doubtfully at Bai Yunfei, who would stare at him hopefully for a few seconds whenever hitting him with the brick.
After the third hit, Bai Yunfei looked at the brick in his hand rather disappointedly and said to himself: “Strange… Why hasn’t it happened yet?”
He then raised his head again looking at Li Chengfeng and said smilingly: “You’re really lucky, Chengfeng…” After that, he smashed the brick down once again.
“Oh? What do you mean? My luck…” Li Chengfeng said in puzzlement, but before he could finish what he was saying, something unusual suddenly happened just when this blow landed on his shoulder!
When Bai Yunfei felt a strand of soulforce flow into the brick in his hand, his eyes brightened: “Here it comes!”
Li Chengfeng, who had still been nonchalant just then, suddenly flew into the air without finishing what he was saying as if he had been rammed into head-on by a big truck… er, big horse carriage. He flew away more than three meters then, after landing, slid away nearly ten more meters before he finally stopped.
Li Chengfeng sat on the ground with his mouth half-open. He was not injured, but he had been somewhat stupefied by this sudden situation.
“Ha-ha, it was finally activated. This is the ‘hurling’ effect, isn’t it? It’s even more formidable than I thought, ha ha…”
Bai Yunfei’s slightly complacent, happy laughter woke Li Chengfeng up with a start from his stupefaction. He stood up and looked at the brick in Bai Yunfei’s hand with an astounded expression, asking: “Yunfei, what happened just now? My body suddenly flew backwards uncontrollably but I’m not injured at all… Could it be this brick was the cause of this?”
“Yeah, you’re right. It’s miraculous, isn’t it? Ha ha, I’ll explain this to you in a while. Come, let’s continue…” Bai Yunfei stopped talking to himself when hearing his questions then walked towards him again with a totally excited expression.
“Wait, wait! I quit. This is a strange thing. I don’t want to play with it anymore…” Li Chengfeng looked at the brick in Bai Yunfei’s hand, which seemed to be slightly emitting a red light, and said while waving his hands repeatedly. Bai Yunfei’s longing expression had given him the creeps.
