Li Yu held an Electronic Anti-violence Device in his hand, a device he had specially borrowed from a former colleague after work yesterday.
Similar self-defense products once flooded Taobao years ago, but later the state stepped in and regulated the market, making them not so easy to buy.
Had it not been for coming to this place without cameras, where the law also worked sporadically, Li Yu would not have thought of this device.
For an ordinary person with just one night to prepare, the Electronic Anti-violence Device must also be the strongest and most conveniently carried weapon they could possibly obtain.
Moreover, the one Li Yu borrowed was a foreign trade model with a stronger current, outputting voltage at 25-30kv.
When Li Yu made his move, he originally aimed for the target's neck, but the man in front of him was after all a battle-hardened warrior, very sensitive to danger, and realizing the threat, he shrank his neck and evaded his vital spot.
Li Yu knew he couldn't miss this opportunity; he was now facing an armed felon who had specifically trained in slashing techniques.
If his initial strike failed, the subsequent counterattack would surely be extremely fierce, something he, an office worker from the civilized world, could not handle.
Not to mention that the guy had a companion not far away, so Li Yu's first hit had to land without a miss!
Seeing he could no longer reach the neck, Li Yu didn't insist but simply pushed the Electronic Anti-violence Device further forward.
Civilian-grade electric shock devices had slightly less power than police models, and while peak voltage was high, reaching tens of thousands of volts, each shock lasted only a very short time, usually meant more for self-protection and not causing too severe an injury.
This was why Li Yu's initial target had been the neck, very close to the brain; if hit, there was a good chance of knocking the person out.
But now that the opponent had dodged the vital spot, Li Yu had no choice but to settle for second best, thrusting the Electronic Anti-violence Device into the man's collar and eventually pressing it against his collarbone.
The man, initially flustered by Li Yu's surprise attack, calmed down once he remembered what was in Li Yu's hand.
He even stopped retreating, choosing instead to meet Li Yu's feeble blow with his chest.
At the same time, he taunted, "Put some muscle into it, will you? With your delicate skin and tender flesh, I took you for a sissy!"
Li Yu complied with his request and pressed the red switch.
The next second, the previously tough and hardened man howled in pain, feeling as though hundreds of tiny needles were piercing under his skin. The intense pain he had never experienced before made him hurriedly recoil.
The physical pain was second, the primary issue was the fear of the unknown.
He couldn't understand why being lightly touched by what appeared to be a harmless little box would cause him such agony - was there a venomous snake hidden inside, had he already been poisoned?
The thought alone stripped him of any desire to fight, and all he wanted was to find a place to examine his wounds.
But Li Yu had finally seized the initiative; how could he let him off with just one blow and walk away?
He chased after the guy who had just tested the shock, not caring about where to hit, and zealously greeted him with the Electronic Anti-violence Device.
It left his opponent screaming for mercy and rolling on the ground.
Li Yu finally found his chance and struck the back of the unlucky guy's head, and the world suddenly quieted down.
......
It wasn't just Miss Rabbit who was dumbfounded, including Half-Face, who was about to start a fight, and Honey Bear and the others, they too stared in shock.
They had been through many battles and encountered a variety of opponents, but without exception, they had never seen anything like this scene before.
The weapon in the hands of the Foreigner, as well as his fighting style, were both exceedingly strange!
There was no rhyme or reason to it, he simply struck wherever he thought of; yet, as soon as he pressed that little black box against someone, the person on the other side would let out a ghostly shriek, crying for their father and mother as they tried to escape, without a single thought of retaliation.
Especially for Honey Bear and his crew, they were very familiar with the person who got electrified, knowing that although that guy's swordsmanship was average, he was quite solid in battle, often at the forefront, and rather gutsy.
So why was he acting so disgracefully this time? Not a single wound on his body, not even his clothes were torn, yet he was just rolling around on the ground, and right now, he wasn't even moving, no one knew if he was dead or alive.
Honey Bear signaled with his eyes to another person not far away.
The lanky fellow had originally come with the unluckily electrified guy to take on Li Yu and Ireya, thinking he'd gotten the easiest job. However, in a blink of an eye, his companion was down.
And in a way he couldn't comprehend.
There were a few times when he actually wanted to step in and help, but because he couldn't see through Li Yu's methods, he always felt a sense of trepidation. With that hesitation, his companion was already gone.
But he didn't come away empty-handed; although he still couldn't understand how Li Yu had won the previous battle, he had figured out that he couldn't let that little black box touch him.
The lanky man felt that he had found the key to victory and, holding his sword high above his head, began stepping lightly toward Li Yu with cautious movements.
Li Yu gave the previous unfortunate fellow two more strikes with the Electronic Anti-violence Device behind his head, ensuring he wouldn't wake up halfway through.
Afterwards, he straightened up again and stood still, waiting for his second opponent.
With a lesson from the previous encounter, the lanky man was extra cautious, constantly changing his steps and posture to bewilder Li Yu and to keep him from predicting where the next attack would come from.
Not until they were sufficiently close did the lanky man feel ready to strike, having built up his momentum.
And then... a bright white light burst forth from Li Yu's palm, blinding him completely!
The previously still Li Yu finally made his move, taking advantage of the blinding effect of the high-intensity light setting on the Electronic Anti-violence Device, he easily dodged the lanky man's wild slashes and circled to his back.
From there, the outcome of the second fight was no longer in doubt.
Just like before, Li Yu electrified the lanky man, making him howl in pain and beg for mercy.
But just to be safe, Li Yu still made sure to knock him down in the end.
This time, Honey Bear was truly startled, and having witnessed two fights, he finally understood what the arc of light that flashed from the front end of the black box was.
Could it possibly be... thunder?
But wasn't thunder the exclusive weapon of the Cloud Rain God and Thunder? Why was it in the hands of this Foreigner, and if he had mastered the Power of Thunder, how could he possibly also summon light?
What was the relationship between the Divine King Diogenes and him?
The more Honey Bear thought, the more scared he became. He already regretted taking this task from Fajia.
