I adopted a child demon from the Gap, and I'm a special agent for the Bureau of Supernatural Ab

This was the first time Cheng Yan had bled in direct combat.

Keep this stance and take him down in one fell swoop!

Li Cheng exerted force with both hands, grabbing Cheng Yan's legs and throwing him into the air. But in mid-air, his leg strength suddenly increased, and Li Cheng, unable to control his opponent, had to let go. Then, a palm opened up in front of Li Cheng's chest.

From his feet to his back, to his arms, and finally to the very tip of his arm, Cheng Yan used the full power of his body to unleash a punch of maximum force. This technique, derived from the core skills of his sect and reserved for killing opponents, was finally used by Cheng Yan now that he was at a disadvantage.

Internal Strength Fist, unleash!

thump—

The heavy blow shattered Li Cheng's right ribs and lungs, and even bone fragments pierced through his back and flew out. Amidst the burst of blood mist, Li Cheng crashed into the highly reinforced wall like a cannonball, actually cracking the wall.

"Pfft—"

Before he could even utter a word, Li Cheng collapsed to the ground, blood and fragments of internal organs flowing from his mouth, his back quickly stained red with blood.

"I accept!"

Immediately realizing something was wrong, Kiritsugu Emiya quickly ran towards Li Cheng's direction.

"Tsk."

At the same time, Shi noticed something was wrong and clicked his tongue, immediately increasing the speed and frequency of his attacks. However, he was overwhelmed by Cheng Yan's sudden increase in speed. Cheng Yan was as fast as a ghost, his hands and feet moving at a speed that exceeded the limits of visual reaction. In just a few breaths, Shi was knocked to the ground.

A heavy punch, delivered with all his might, slammed into Shi's stomach, causing the ground to cave in. A mouthful of blood spurted from Shi's mouth, splattering onto Cheng Yan's expressionless face.

Even with his ears destroyed and temporarily at a disadvantage, Cheng Yan had ultimately reached the pinnacle of existence below the Transcendent level. His power and consciousness far surpassed those of his peers. Once he got serious and made up his mind, there was virtually no one in this world he couldn't defeat.

In this state, they should be unable to continue fighting, right?

Knowing full well the weight of his full-force strike, Cheng Yan stood up, slowly letting out a sigh of relief. Then he turned around and looked at the fist that had magnified in front of his pupils.

"Oh!"

Li Cheng's all-out attack landed squarely on Cheng Yan's face. The ceiling spun, blood flew through the air, and a white tooth was visible. Falling to the ground and rolling a few times, Cheng Yan sat up in surprise, touching his blood-soaked mouth, and discovered that one of his teeth had been knocked out.

"Why? How can you still stand up?"

What surprised him was not his own injury, but that Li Cheng, the man whose ribs and lungs had been shattered, seemed completely unharmed, stood up again, and even delivered the most visually impactful blow he had ever seen.

"Asking such a brain-dead question, I'm telling you..."

With bone fragments and organ remnants still clinging to the corners of his mouth, and blood dripping slowly from his lips, Li Cheng grinned menacingly at Cheng Yan ahead.

"You little brat, have you never been in a fight before?"

On the other side of his line of sight, Shiki, who had been hit in the abdomen, swayed as she stood up, her expression cold, her fists clenched, and she looked at him.

No, this shouldn't be happening. The attack was so powerful; they shouldn't be able to stand up completely unharmed. Why? Why are these guys still able to fight? Why?

Sure enough, the strongest one's second weakness has finally appeared.

Both the two combatants and Kiritsugu Emiya, who was observing, had already understood.

As the first heir to a powerful "sect," a prodigy whose life has always been smooth sailing, Cheng Yan may have encountered countless masters and experienced countless battles. But there is one kind of battle, one battle he will never experience: a battle that his family, the force that nurtured him, will absolutely never allow him to have the opportunity to experience or try.

That means there are no rules, no winners or losers, only a desperate struggle between each other, a bloody battle to the death.

"Hey, hey, hey, as the strongest A-level expert, you've never fought a life-or-death battle like this? Can you call yourself the strongest like this? Are you trying to make me laugh to death? Are you trying to make me laugh to death so you can inherit my Bilibili account?"

Clenching his blood-soaked teeth, Li Cheng clenched his fists, looked at Cheng Yan, and said, word by word:

"Remember this well, honor student. This is the true meaning of battle in this world!"

This is the third update, an extra chapter. There's one more chapter to go. I'll try to finish writing this whole battle section today.

Chapter 25, Section 90: Bloodbath (Part 2)

A bloody battle? A battle where there's no clear winner, only life or death?

Are you kidding me?

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Cheng Yan stood up in disbelief. Before he could even steady himself, Li Cheng was already at his feet again, throwing another punch at his face.

This time, Cheng Yan was prepared and easily blocked the attack, then retaliated with an elbow strike to Li Cheng's right chest, the spot where he had been injured earlier. As expected, Li Cheng cried out in pain and spat out another mouthful of blood. But the anticipated collapse did not occur. Instead, Li Cheng stepped forward, reached out the hand that Cheng Yan had not blocked, and grabbed Cheng Yan's hair.

Another figure suddenly appeared, his blade now blunt. He moved emptily, delivering a flying kick to Cheng Yan's chest, completely ignoring Li Cheng who was holding him from behind, knocking both of them to the ground. The heavy blow left Cheng Yan, his chest tight, unable to even utter a cry of pain, before Li Cheng roared and ripped the tuft of hair from Cheng Yan's head, scalp and all.

"Ahhh-"

For the first time, Cheng Yan experienced such excruciating pain.

Blocking Li Cheng's punch, Cheng Yan raised his hand to retaliate, but Li Cheng kicked him away. The figure behind him grabbed his body in mid-air, twisted his direction, and slammed his bloodied head directly into a pillar in the room, staining the pillar blood red as well.

Before she could attack again, the enraged Cheng Yan roared and broke free of her control, delivering several heavy punches at close range, quickly knocking her to the ground and shattering a pillar. But before Cheng Yan could catch his breath, Li Cheng turned around and stood up again, grabbing Cheng Yan's legs and lifting him up before slamming him heavily to the ground, his head hitting the hard surface so hard it cracked.

Immediately after, Cheng Yan, realizing what was happening, kicked Li Cheng in the face, breaking his nose. Despite his face being covered in blood, Li Cheng regained his footing and threw another punch. Cheng Yan easily caught it, then reached out and pressed down on Li Cheng's arm joint. With a chilling cracking sound, Cheng Yan twisted Li Cheng's right arm into a pretzel shape.

"Ahhhh-"

Cheng Yan delivered another powerful punch to Li Cheng's abdomen, feeling his liver rupture under the blow. He then kicked Li Cheng's trembling body away, took a few steps back, and tried to catch his breath.

"You're in such a hurry to end this!"

Li Cheng, who should have collapsed, roared and stood up again.

At the same time, another figure attacked from the side.

Cheng Yan instinctively tried to defend himself against Li Cheng's attack from the front, but unexpectedly, Shi, who should have been seriously injured, grabbed a sharp piece of building debris and attacked from the side. He straddled Cheng Yan's neck and swung the debris down on the part of Cheng Yan's head where his scalp had been torn off, smashing the debris directly onto Cheng Yan's head.

Cheng Yan screamed in agony, but before he could get the weapon off him, Li Cheng lunged at him, extending his shattered right arm and stabbing him directly with the exposed bone from his elbow joint, which pierced through the flesh. The bone plunged into Cheng Yan's shoulder, lifting him up.

"Ugh, are you crazy?"

In response to Cheng Yan, Li Cheng swung his left fist hard, striking him directly in the face and forehead, causing blood to splatter out once again, staining Li Cheng's five fingers red.

Unable to bear it any longer, Cheng Yan roared and slashed down with his five fingers together, as fast as a blade, severing Li Cheng's right arm.

Amidst the splattering blood, Li Cheng's right hand was severed by Cheng Yan's palm strike near his shoulder and fell to the ground.

Without hesitation, Li Cheng opened his mouth and bit Cheng Yan's right hand, which he couldn't retract in time. With a scream of excruciating pain, Li Cheng bit off most of Cheng Yan's right hand, tearing off his thumb, index finger, middle finger, and most of his ring finger, and then swallowed them.

Under Cheng Yan's gaze, which seemed to regard him as a monster, Li Cheng licked his bright red lips and said with a smile:

"Consider it a way to replenish the stamina lost in the battle."

This man has definitely gone mad.

Covering his mutilated hand, Cheng Yan couldn't help but take two steps back for the first time.

"Are you okay?"

Clutching her stomach, Ryougi Shiki wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and slowly walked to Li Cheng's side. Looking at his right arm, which was now only a small part, she couldn't help but ask.

"It's okay, it's not okay at all. I feel better than ever before."

With his eyes fixed on Cheng Yan, Li Cheng took a step forward and grinned.

"Keep going, strongest! Don't tell me you can't keep going."

"Tsk!"

This is truly the first time I've encountered someone injured like this who still insists on fighting. Is this the extent to which one can sacrifice for the most important person in their life? It's unimaginable, incomprehensible, and beyond judgment. But…

Clenching his fists, Cheng Yan looked at the two people in front of him, his expression gradually turning cold.

Even so, I can't back down.

Taking a step forward, Cheng Yan no longer waited for the opponent to make the first move. After fighting for so long, he finally gave up the habit of waiting for others to make the first move.

His primary target was still Li Cheng. Li Cheng was the most seriously injured and in the worst condition, yet he was also the one who had inflicted the greatest damage on him. From easily defeating him in their first encounter to the effortless victory in their second confrontation, this was only their third fight, yet this man was constantly inflicting increasing pain on him. He was absolutely certain that he had to defeat this man immediately; if he fell first, the tide of battle could be turned.

Li Cheng roared and charged forward, gripping his remaining left arm as he rushed towards Cheng Yan. But then, Cheng Yan nimbly shifted his stance, appearing directly beside Li Cheng, and then raised his elbow, striking Li Cheng's left temple with pinpoint accuracy.

With a dull thud, Li Cheng's left eye bulged out of its socket, and even the skull on that side showed a slight crack. He collapsed to the ground, stunned, his dizzy head unable to comprehend why he had lost half of his vision.

With an injury of this severity, he'll never be able to stand up again. So, that solves one problem; now, there's one more person left.

Turning his head, Cheng Yan caught a glimpse of a sharp blade in the corner of his eye. He instinctively raised his hand to block, only to have his palm pierced. He was shocked to realize that Shi had somehow acquired another dagger.

Was it a spare for that guy named Emiya Kiritsugu?

He immediately realized where the blade came from, and looking to the side, he indeed saw Kiritsugu Emiya sitting in the corner, pulling out two more daggers from his person.

Without giving him time to think, Shiki, having landed a fatal blow, released his grip without hesitation, kicked Cheng Yan's pierced hand, staggered back a few steps, took a new blade from Emiya Kiritsugu, and charged forward again. Unlike the shouting Li Cheng, Shiki maintained a calm and collected demeanor throughout his attack, remaining completely silent unless struck.

Pulling the blade from his own hand, Cheng Yan looked up at Shi, who was charging at him again, his expression slightly cold. He held the knife in his left hand, parrying Shi's thrust. The two engaged in a rapid exchange of blows with their daggers, the only sound the clanging of blades clashing in the air. In just a few seconds, Cheng Yan completely dominated Shi in the short-blade combat, using the blood groove on his blade to block Shi's attack. Then, with a burst of strength, he deflected the knife from Shi's hand. Stepping forward, Cheng Yan plunged his blade into Shi's abdomen.

"Well!"

The excruciating pain of being pierced finally caused Shi to show signs of weakness. Cheng Yan then bent down and struck the dagger, now only its hilt protruding, with a powerful blow. The force of the impact propelled the dagger through Shi's body and into the wall, leaving a gaping hole in Shi's abdomen.

He dodged and punched Shi in the back of the head, knocking the already severely injured Shi to the ground. Cheng Yan breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his slightly sweaty forehead, covered his injured right hand, and stopped to rest.

Now, those two are both down. Next, all I need to do is make sure the last one is also knocked unconscious, and my mission will be complete.

Looking up at Kiritsugu Emiya, who was still sitting in the corner watching him, Cheng Yan stepped forward and walked towards him. Despite being injured from his previous battle with Bane, Kiritsugu immediately drew his gun and fired, but Cheng Yan didn't even try to dodge. His innate protective abilities perfectly shielded him from all the bullets, and not a single one hit him.

"You have already lost."

Looking at the man in front of him, Cheng Yan said coldly.

Just then, a large hand grabbed him from behind, squeezed his neck, and lifted him up forcefully.

Cheng Yan frantically tried to fight back, but his opponent grabbed him and swung him around like a sledgehammer, slamming his head headfirst into the ground. The impact cracked the ground. Then, the opponent stomped his foot, burying Cheng Yan's head into the ground. He then crouched down, using his knee to brace against Cheng Yan's shoulder, and began to relentlessly attack his head.

With a swift kick, Cheng Yan sent the attacker flying and quickly stood up, his head covered in blood. Looking at Li Cheng, who was swaying unsteadily before him, his right hand broken and one eye hanging out of its socket, he clenched his fists again.

"I don't want to kill you, I don't want to kill any of you..."

Looking at Li Cheng rushing up again, Cheng Yan said in a low voice.

With a swift dodge and a quick maneuver, coupled with a heavy punch, Cheng Yan sent Li Cheng crashing into a wall. Without hesitation, he charged forward, unleashing a flurry of punches. Li Cheng's prized physique proved utterly ineffective against Cheng Yan's bone-penetrating power.

By breaking bones, damaging muscles, and severing blood vessels, Cheng Yan used every technique he knew to beat Li Cheng to a pulp, leaving him powerless to fight back. Li Cheng could only kneel helplessly on the ground, his blood soaking through his clothes.

But as soon as Cheng Yan stopped, as soon as he hesitated for even a moment, as soon as he wavered, this crippled man, who looked like he could die at any moment, would pounce like a lion, leaving another bloody wound on Cheng Yan's body.
